Ferocious Amusement at Madrid.

MADRID, July 26.-Yesterday the Bull
Circus of Aranjuez became, the theater OF a
spectacle worthier of the age Of the Romans
of the empire thar Of the 18th century,
Several wild beasts were introduced success
sively to fight in The arena, The Queen
Mother her family together with the King
and the Duke of Rianzares were present in
the royal box. The first fight was bstween
a wolf and several dogs. The wolf looked
at'firstexcessively frightened, and made sew
.eral leaps TO clear the lofty iron grating
which surrounded the arena. These efforts
became desperate when be, saw bound into
the circus four powerful dogs, which ina
few moments reduced him to such pit'ful
state that ii was necessary to withdraw him.
The wolf stood on the defensive--he shook
offthe dogs, but he did not attacktthem.-
Next entereda hyena, against which four
dogs were likewise loosed. 0ne fthe dogs
distinguished himself greatly in this combat,
and several times mastered the hyena alone,
dragging him over TO the ground, but be was
so punished by the fierce bites Of the wild
beast, that his master was fain to enter the
arena and withdraw him from the combat,
amid salvos of applause. The hyena was
then withdrawn in rather .manpled condi-
ton. The next wild beast that appeared
WAS 4 sturdy. slrly bear, against whom was
launched 'as many as l3 dogs. The enemv

Review of the Portsmouth Market for
the Week ending August e5, 1851.
GENERAL 'REMARKs--AWe have had very
steady trade for the past we elk and the aggre-
gate of sales are respectable.
The stock Of goods in every department,

FLoUR& & GRAIE-Fort the past week there
has been scarcity Of Flour in our Market
owing mainly TO the popularity of home
brands, and consequent increased demand,
added to which there has been a. scarcity OF
Wheat at one of our Mills, for part of the
time. A full supply of Wheat now, and
an arrival of Flour by Canal and the resunp-
tion of business ,At the Union Mills, will
render our Flour Market fully adequate to
the Wants OF the community. Flour has
ranged at SS,35 during the week, for besl
quality. Wheat brings SO cents from grade
and wagons. Oats are dull at20c.
