BULL EIGHT IN SPAIN.

BIARRITZ, MONDAY, Aug. 24.
The Empress proceeded on Sunday to Bayonne
at 3 o'clock to attend a bull-fight in the Faubourg
of St. Esprit, on the same spot where these sports
have been held for the last few years.
Tho King of Wurtemburg, who was curious to
witness, for the first time,,this humanising amuse-
ment so dear to Spaniards, took his seat in the bull-
ring at a quarter to 4, attended-by his suite ; and
her M,jesty the her
sister and the lEadraiepsresws,hoaccoamrep
waiting upon her, was punctual to the moment, and
made her appearance iu her box precisely at 4. The
bullfighters only awaited the presence of her Majesty
accompanied
to begin operations. The Mayor of St. Espi it, after
th.-! usual preliminaries, gave the signal to the troop
(cuadrilla).- Tc,e wall where the animals are kept
iu wa ting was thrown open, and the first bull
bounded into the arena. He gave sport the
usual time, and, after undergoing the usual pro-
cess of torture, seeundum artern, to the apparent
satisfaction of the amateurs high and low, he en-
countered the sword of the redoubtable Salarnan-
quino, who gave him the quietus fiom which there
is no escape. The second animal afforded for the
same space of time a similar pleasUre to the upper
and lower hundreds, and met the same inevitable
fate as his predecessor.
