The profession of forero Is sufficiently dangerous. On an average two or three are killed in it during year, in all Spain. Heoryj- few reach an advanced age. If they do not die in the circus, they are obliged to give 1t up at an early day. in consequence of their wounds. The famous Pope lilo. in the conrse of his life was wounded twenty six times by the horns of bulls; the last killed him. The high salary of these peo- pie is not the only inducement to embrace their dangerous business. Glory--ap- plause--make them brave death. IL is pleasure to triumph before five or six thou sand people. So is not rare to see anna teurs of distinguished birth sharing in the dangers and honors of professional bullfght- ers.-At Seville, have seen Marquis and Count discharging the functions of a mata- dor at public exhibition.

 Ii is true, however, that the public is not very indulgent to the toreros. The least sign of cowardce is punished by cries and hisses. The most atrocious insults are showed on both sides and sometimes by order of the people--and il IS the most de- cisive mark of their indignation algaa- zl advances towards the conlbatant, and commands him, under pain of imprisonment, to attack the bull on the instant.

 Applause, and tho desire of acquiring fame or preserving that already obtained. oblige the bul-fghters to go beyond the dangers 10 which they are, of necessity. ex- posed. Pope lilo, and Romero afler him, presented themselves before the bull with irons on their feet. The coolness of these men, in the mos. urgent danger, is absolute ly miraculous.

 Recently picador, named Juan Sevlla, was overthrown with his horse, by an Ande- lusian bull, ofprodigious strength and agi- ty. This bull, instead of permitting him. self to be defeated by the Chulos, threw him. self upon the man, stamped upon him, and gave him repeated fhrusts in the legs with his horns; but perce!ylng that they were toe we'll protected by his pantaloons of iron-rib- bed hide, he turned and lowered his head, to thrust his horn into the mans breast. Then Sevilla raised himself by-a desperate effort, with one hand seized the bull by the ear: and thrust his fingers of the other into his nos- trls, whilst he kept his head fastened under that of the inflrated beast. In vain did the bull try to shake him off, trample him under foot, hurl him on the ground--he could never force him to quit his hold. Ev- cry one regarded with beating heart this unequal struggle. II was the agony of a brave man; they could neither cry nol breathe, nor turn their eyes from this horri- ble scene which lasted nearly tauo minutes. At last the bull vanquished by the man ill this close struggle, left him in pursuit ofthe chulos. Every one expected to sec Seyil' la bore out of the enclosure. They raised him, and he is hardly on his feet when he seizes a mantle, and wishes to attract tine bui towards him, in spite of his heavy boots ane the inconvenient casing of his legs.
