Such is the description literally given by La Ma
eicn, Of the 10th of July, liberal constitutional
Spanish court and gentry in 1851. Another cor
respondent states, that there have been three or
four Of thsse batting Of wild beasts, besides bull
fights twice week. What must be the immoral
and brutalisipg influence Of such exhibitions upon
a sensitive and excitable people, and upon the
youthful Of both sexes' The bull fights are pro-
vided and directed by the municipal authorities
they are patronized by their presence and the pe-
cuniary proceeds are sometimes applied to hospi-
tails and Institutions. Thoughtful and serious
Spaliards, however, regard these remaining Gus
toms OF heather and degraded age with shame
and disgust, and do not hesitate to say that the
court and ministry hold it their policy to endeayor
to dcpIave the moral sensbities Of the people BY
diversions, proce ssions and formal devotions, in
order to distract their desires for better law, better
administration, better morals in high life and low
life, and better religion. Can it possibly be, that
any government, however selfish, can debase in
order to rule-can labor to stulify the mind of its
own country, in order to crafty its temporar am
bition and aya.ice! But that sucn is the tendency
of bull fights, and OK hibitions of the tormenting Of
wild beasts, reflective aud right minded person
can have TIE shadow OF n doubt.

RAILROAD INTERESTS %. TRJITH

One Of the constant readers of your little in
trepid sheet claims the right to state what he
deems the truth, in the correction of an error
into which one of the caterers of the {" Repu5lic''
has doubtless been led by some party who has
more sympathy for an incorporated company
than he has for the safety Of the people. II -
On Thursday morning, in accounting for the
detention of the Baltimore cars, which had run
off the track, some immaterial points are men
tioned-as the jumping off of an employee who
discovered that something was wrong, while the
fact was represented to a gentleman who awaited
the arrival of the cars that through the insecu-
rity of the wood in the tender, stick therefrom
had fallen on the rail and caused the delay, and
might have induced at particular portions of the
road O frightful accident. Now, by the law
relating to common carriers, the onus would
have been that oil proper precaution had been
taken to guard against the accident. Hence
the public should know the law, that oftentimes
they may seek all proper redress.
We are aware that some accidents are pro-
perly attributable to haste, but haste itself is
induced by having only one track with its turn
outs and the conductors naturally strive to
q make time" while, if there were two tracks,
the liability to accidents would be materially
diminished. Indeed, the legislation by Con-
gress presupposes two tracks within the Dis
trict, and it is questionable whether charter
is not vtiated which, by non-user, defeats the
intentions of Congress to afford security to the
people, who are entitled to entire protection
where they have yielded UP, through past
agency, their own franchise. eH3
In illustration Of the effects Of haste arising
from narrow and single track, on Thursday
week, rs the evening cars were on their way to
tho Annapolis Junction, from Baltimore, n fine
buffalo COW, of heavy make, was on the track
upon straight stretch. When the whistle was
sounded, instead of the brakes being al applied,
and while the motion Of the train was certainly
lessened by at least one brake, tne ,i aI,us
chased In q cnt of the road where she could not
escape, was run down, breaking both hind legs.
A slow locomotive is too swift in few minutes l
for a horse. 1t is true, had tne cars peen e
driven off then no other accident would proba-
hiv have occurred beyond a few scraped shins,
~ result of a sudden stoppage. But while
road is kept narrow, and speeds desirable, and
all proper preosatiOn Is not made II Is clear
PROMPT REDRESS.

REToRT OF A WITNEss.-On one occasion Mr.
James N. Buffum Of Lynn, Massachusetts, was
under cross-examination by an attorney named
Lord, who did his best to perplex and browbeat
him SO as to oyerset the testimony he had given
against his client. The question was something
relating to machinery, and Mr.. Buffum had
used the word :" philosophically" in his evil
dence. Mr.. Lord continually harped upon this
phrase, and endeavored to make the witness ri
diculous in the eyes Of the jury. At last he in
quired, "Pray, Mr.. Witness, as you seem to- be
great philosopher can you tell me what the
consequence would be if the air should be eN-
hausted from a hogshead 7" eyes, SIR, re,

DISCOVERY IN EGYPT. A most interesting
discovery has been made in Egypt. 1t is known
that there exists in Mount Zabarah situated on
an island in the Red Sea, a mine of emeralds,
which was formerly worked by the pachas Of
Egypt, abandoned in the last year of the reign
of Mehemet ALI An English company have
solicited and recently obtained authority to re-
sumo the working Of this mine, which is believed
to be still rich with precious stones. Mr.. Allen,
the engineer of the company, while directing
some important excavations in this place has
discovered at great depth traces Of an ancient
gallery, which must evidently be referred to the
most remote antiquity. Upon removing the
rubbish, they found tools and ancient utensils.
and stone upon which is engraved hero
glyphic inscription, now partially defaced. This
circumstance proves the truth Of the opinion
expressed by Belzoni, on the strength of other
indications, that this mine was worked in ancient
times.
The nature and form of the implements dis
covered, and the confguration of the gallery,
the plan of which has been readily traced, prove
most conclusiyely that the ancient Egyptians
were skilful engineers. 1t seems from exami-
nation of the stone which has been discovered,
that the first labors in the mine of Zabarah
were commenced in the reign Of Sesostrs the
Great, or Ramses Sesostris, who, according to
the most generally received opinion lived about
the year 1850 before Christ, and who is cele-
brated by his immense conquests, as well as by
the innumerable monuments with which he
covered Egypt.
