Tht! grand entrance to the circus fronltt •
tlie street in an open space. Ou one side i
of tills entrunce runs :t wall, which enclo-;
scs a large yard and the outhotiscs, for j
the n-ception of the animals and the peo
ple employed in their management. A \
large gate divides the wall and opens into
the yard. From this gate to tlie opposite
side of the street a temporary palisade is
thrown, so as to impede the bulls in their
progress, mid oblige to turn into the yard.
To manage a dozen of these homed sous
of the forest in a city proinem-.de, and in
duce them to presenttheoisclvds in a ci
vic eu'cus before five thousand people, is
no very easy tnatter; unaccustomed to civ
ilized society, they spurn alike man and
Ins manners, despising every thing assim
ilated to order or ceremony, and will car
ry their headstrong opprtsitiiui to all rule
even in the presence of royalty itself. It
is an enterprise requireing no ordinary de
gree of contrivance, ingenious ami curi
ous as it is, hazardous and courageous:
for the yery means adopted increase the
animal’s ferocity to the highest pitelu
! lint the accomplishing of it shows hew
immeasurably superior to brute farce is
the power of human cunning. Tlietnills
arc first decoyed from their native Woods
l»y tame cattle placed amongst them for
the purpose. On the nig jit before the
combat, they, alone with their rrore gen
j tie associates, are driven into tlie fmvft,
I where, as soon as they find themselves
enclosed by (muses, they bccorrr furious,
and run nt all they meet. In order then,
to induce them to follow the right way to
the circus, a mounted picador, armed
with a spear, rides up close to the raging
animals and feigns to attack theftn The
hulls dash tit tlieif assailant, who, on the
instant, expertly wheels Iris hofse and gal
lops aWav towards the circus, pursued by
the whole prancing and tiellowitig troop.
The picador, thus leading his desperate
k lot s ov*tc|he rough pavement t ty within a
yurds of" the pnlismlcs, turu.-t sharply
into the gates ofthe yard, the hulls nt his
heels; tii'en darts throtigh a small gate tit
the opposite side of tiir yard, wlucli, us
soon tis he enters closes alter him hv
dropping from above, and tin? strrps the
progress of his pursuers. In turn ride
the picador is in great danger. Should
his horse trip lie must lx- destroyed; and
considering the badness of the pavement,
it is wonderful that he escapes without a
fall. Tlie Spanish bridle, however, is cal
culated to support tlie horse, and the pica
dor is always a perfect rider. It is yet
necessary to fix each hull in his particular
stall. These stalls are situated ou the'
ground floor of an oblong building adjoin
ing the circus. Each is a cell of about
eight feet long by six wide, and placed
oposite each other, at tlie side of a long
passage that leads from the yard to the
arena, into which it opens by folding doors
and through which the hulls rush to the
light. To get the ungovernable tenants
ot these cells fairly in, and then out ap
pears, tonne unacquainted with tlie means
of managing them, an impossibility.
The fact ts, every stall is in itself a trap,
into which the hull having once entered,
only leaves it to nieet his deadly foe.
Once within the bassage to the cell, he
has no choice but to his fate. At intervals
hi the passage are partitions that slide op*
wards by pulleys; these arc all raised while
the bull is eutei ing, and, as he passed on
wards, they aft’ one after the other drop
ped behind him so that he is forced ou
w. irds, as it were per salt true. Whatever
cell i« intended for him is left open; lie
walks irito it, seeking, no doubt, to escape,
and at once the door of the cell, which is
constructed like those of tiie passage,
drops down behind him-, mid he is enclo
sed.—•Duriitu this operation rot a human
being appears before him. The force
that secures him is erected !>y machinery
On the floor above; where the multiplicity
of ropes, and blocks, and wheels, remind
one of the complex cordage of a ship.—
Tl#e hull un roo-icr finds himself thus en
trapped than he gives w»j* tr) the most un
bounded rage; he roars,froths at the mouth
tears up the earth with his hoofs, and
butts with his horns at the door mid the
wall; but fesistanee is all around him,
while his masters Calmly look down upon ,
his impotent oiFnfts through holes made 1
in the floor for that purpose. Mv friend I
who accompanied me from Gibraltar de- ]
flared to me, that to look at the hulls j
from the floor above, and observe the rol
ling of their glistening eyes in the dun
light, to mark the bristling of their tails,
and listen to the halfsuppressed bellow of
the brute, was ns great a pl#>n*ur« to him
... o.r. fight itself. For mv part, I thought
the sight worth a feW moments, hut no
more; however, my friend wondered as
much at mv taste in this mntter o* I at
his, He Would have rtny'-d all day gaz
ing at these favorite objects; every gesture
of the unconquerable animals, evory glance
of their wild eyes seemed to be understood
hv It nit, and to ntvaken in his lirest a [Hire
and delightful scnsafioti. What powerful
agents are sympathy and association
in stiiing up our tastes anil lecl

tllF, BANKER AND THE KING.
The anecdote ! am about to relate inav
be relied Upon tin a fact. 1 was not nin
ny mouths ago, present at a convivial [tar
ry, given by Mr. 1‘ , the great
Frankfort banker, at Ins own residence.
II e was in excellent spirits, and being re
quested to favour the company with a
tale, he related the following account of
his journey to Prussia. 1 have given it
in his own words, ns near as i can re
rnendtcr them.
“It was in the year 1805,” said Mr. F.
"near twenty-five years since, that busi
ness of importance required iny speedv
presence at the Prussian capital. Our
house had nnt long before been establish
ed, and as the Prussian government wan
ted money, 1 thought it expedient to see
their minister myself without delay. The
journey was somewhat dangerous, as the
stiite of Germany had become rather pre
carious. The French had again been so
polite as to pay its unasked a visit, and
were not likely to look with a very kind
eye on a banker who was hastening to
the seat of government to lend money.
However, I was young, undaunted, of a
happy flow of spirits, and cared neither
for Napoleon nor any of ins adherents, so
I bid Anthony, who is my witness”—the
well embroidered footman nodded cotn
placen’ly from behind the chair of his
master.—“to make himself ready, to place
some wine and h dozen pheasants in our
chest, and td take his seat in the post
chaise. The pheasants wef-e intended as
a present for the Prussian finance minis
ter. lake as Ido Frankfort, iny native,
city, I felt jiighly delighted when I arri
ved at the frontiers of Saxony, but my
joy was soon to give way to other sensa
tions, I was always fond of a good din
ner and a good glass of wine; things
which are rarely to be met with in Saxo
ny. It is a wretched country, and their
witic is stuff compared to which bus vine
gar is nectar. I had travelled three days,
antt changed horses fifteen times. My
bottling establishment was nearly out,
when 1 found myself on the borders of
Prussia, a vast desert of sand, where no
j thing grows but the hungry pine and enr-
I lj-beaded eh : Mw*»; jet #tiff the/might

J which contained the intended present for

j satisfied, I mounted my [tost-chntse a
ffain, and proceeded on mv journey. < >ur
j wheels ploughed through tlie waves of
jsanrl as deeply ns a three-decker through

j [Onr banker had made the tour across
the channel m the C'alnis packet, and lie
liivcd to sjA-ak of the seti.l
“My patience at length liecante ex
hausted, and being Weary of looking at
the sandy surface, I fell asleep. Shortly
afterwards a terrible shock awakened me.
j l endeavoured to look round but could
; not. I struggled to open my mouth—it
filled with saudt My feet were fast in the
j carriage. I was near being killed, in
• short, the axle-tree of the clause, with one
lof the wheels, were broken. Anthony
i had fared somewhat better than his mas
j ter, and lie relieved me front my disa*
I greeahle situation. i\owq gentlemen, you
J may believe me, this was nu joke. Tho *
i I was, fifteen miles from Berlin, and two

war behind. My resolution tyts soon ta«
k, a. I I'Tth-red Anthony to get my post
chaise reji.iireil, and to follow me to the
Ilraaticnbiirgii hotel as #eou as possible.
Thus resolved, I stepped towards the car*
j riago, which had now come up to us.
| ‘Gentlemen,* suit) I, lifting mv hat civ*
; illy, ‘will you he so good tis to afford ts
I traveller, wlrv-c chaise you sec is bio*

j ‘Certainly,’ said the youngest; ‘please
j to step in.’
‘1 did so. The fir.it minutes were pas
| sed in surveying the strangers, with wliotit
I iny happy or unhappy stars, I knew no?
j which, hud brought me in contact. I
was in a military country, and I was soon
j convinced that iny new euinpnmons were
j military mem
“The complaisance of these strangers'
j soon restored me to niy former good hut
| inottr; and thinking it mv duty to meet
the r politeness by similar advances, I
began to enter into something like con
versation with them; thev* however, were
not tlie iuust talkative [tf i'Mnis tn tl»o
world. I spoke of the war winch was
raging between France and Austria, but I
received only a nod. I went over tho
prospects of Prussia—no answer at all;
: the old gentleman Was as dry as n chip l ,-
| the young «*:ic as shy as a lark. I hate
! stiHeniiess. especially in young men, and
| thinking that my suhjects were perhaj«
j disagrceble, I changed Mi* in to the state
|of the country, 1w as not very lavish of
’ niy praise, and censured the government
I for not repairing the roads; both gentle-
J men were extremely attentive, but still
more reserved. I bad now tried every
means to bring them into conversation,'
| At last I spoke ol my fare and of the mis
erable dinners provided for travellers*
They smiled.
“What do you think, sir,* said I, nddresf
sing the young man,‘l have dined upon?*
A pheasant I knew he never Would
gufser
“ J do not know, sir.*
'‘Well g-.* ss then.’ ? lid I.
“The young man looked significAnflv;'
and entering into mv humour, return^
«xi.
“I do not know, indeed; perltapfl a shoul
der of mutton?’
“My hand fell involuntarily On his knee'
“Higher,* said. I.
“Well, then perhaps you have dined on
a goose?’
“Higher;* replied I, placing my hand a
second time on his knt-e.
‘‘Then it was a chicken,* said I*.
‘‘Higher,* replied I, accompanying nty
J word with a third .- lap.
| “You have not, surely, dined on a turJ
j key in so poor u country?’
“Higher, sir;* retained I, striking him
for- the fourth time on his knee.
“Well tli a, it liiusl lane been a plied

"You havo hit it, sir; a pheasant brought
from Frankfort; and if you will do nie the
Itonor of being tny guests at the Jlran
denburgh hotel, you shall diue off phea
sants too.’
'‘Neither promised !o dome, but both
smiled.
“After this dialogue, w- rode several
miles without speaking a single word.
When the young man, in quite a friendly
tone, said,
“Now, sir to ask you a question, whom
do you think you ride with?’
“This question was pm in the usual
brisk tone of a Prussia officer. I looked
at the stranger a nmnrnt; he Was about
my age but much taller. His dress was a
plain nirtoitt, and his head was covered
with a woollen cap, strongly set in leath
er, with n narrow gold brim. lie k
good deal of the military cast.
“NVi ll,’ saul I,‘l think I have the plea
sure of being in rompHity with a military
