To the Editor of The Tridune. CHICAGO, May 10.—Pol.zencss is not always 2 concomitant of s strect-car conductor, neither that of any other calling in life. It is too rare a virtue, it mast be confessed, with us all. But an instance of peculiar politeness in a conductor came unuder my nutice on Friday last in the person of William Carlisle, conductor of a Madison street car. A feeble, tottering old man, with acarpet-bag in hand, hailed the car, which was stoppel, and Mr. Carlisle helped hm on, and, after riding a few blocks, belped 1m off »nd across the crowded street on to the gide-walk as tender.y as a woman would handle = swi ctind. He tuen ran and caoght up with the car, which bad started on. Such marked jnstances of politeness and 2ood breeding are Worthy of notice. Long may the public have the pleasure of nding with such a_gentiemanly conductor. °,“A PASSENGER. ————u T TFLEGRAPHIC NOTES. Spectal Dispasck to The Tribune.

A scenc worthy of the old bloody. brutal days of Rome wa¥ a bull-ficht at Malnd ona recent Sun-, day, graced by the presence of King Alfonso and all hia ocourticrs, by an Austrian Arch-Duke, and many high-bred Spanish dames. The fiercest buils were enmaged for the eccasion, and the nimblest horses and picidoss, and Frascnelo, one of the youngest but most darnng cuadrilla in all Spain. One bull had been tormented, and maddened, and then killed by Frascuelo, bat the sccond beast had knocked over in succession two picadors and dis- posed of their horses, wien a third tamble called for the asaistance of the cuadnlls.

The whole scene bad lasted but a few seconds, and 3 loud cry of horror burst from every part of thering. Every- body sprang to their feei, from King Alfonso inthe ruyal box to the lowest fabble down mear fhe bar- riers. Shriexs of anzuish burst from the women. while others covered their faces with their hands orfsns. Men of every rank and age could not re- frain from uttering exoressions of dismay and consternation, which were a:afn renewed when the wretched suffererer, after risine to his feer etagrered a few sten: and fell down, paie and covered with blood, which streamed over his brill- jantcostume. The confusion lasted some time. and no one cared mrch for the ball, or his to; meéntors. who wenton relentlessty and sternly in the brutal struggle.

Mr. Jennings writes from London, May 5, to the New York World: *-Itadds to the promise of the - present geason tnat the Queen manifests an incli- nxtion to visit London mach more frequently than has been her habit of late years. She has been ‘here several days this week, and is aid to be com- inz again next; last Wednesday she even'attended a fower-show, a thing she his not dooe ever since the Prince, her husoand, died. This puts tae ' trades-neople into good Epiriis—s few visits to London from the Queen woald mase all the diTer- ence in the world to them. A3 in New York, there has been great depression of trade hére, dnd there seemed very littie prospect of = change for The better until the last three or foar days.

Mr. Gyo gives an “Obers’ Concert every Lturday afierioon. and the first toox place to- day. 1 tried in vain to buy a couple of seats yes- terday, and the carriages which [ met ju<t now re- turning from the concert would have made a long* unbroken chain all round Central Park.” A COMPLICATED C. A rather complicated case is about I3 fore the courts at Franifort-op-the-Oler. A lively young boar was recently sent there by ralt from Custrin, carefully shut up ina wooden caze. Onthe jonmey, however, he managed to break i prison, and devoured no' less tham twenty-five pounds of German yeast, which happened to be in the eame carrisge. The conaition of the mis- guided pig, when the veast began to rise, may be Imagined. ' He was quite unaole to bear his Sud- denly-acquired greatness, and gave up the ghost in & meltitade of sighs, which is quite explicable under the ircamsiances. Dot now the question is, Wao isto pay the damage for that? The ral- way company repndiste all responsibility. Is toe owner ofiihe carcass to proceed :agminst the. owner of the yesst for the loss of ,his boar, or is the ex-propriezor of the yeast to proceed azainst the owner of the pig for the loss of his merchan- se? Eminent coansl hold that the claim of bota parties lies aaainst the con=tructor of the cage: but the builder contends that the cage was never cal- calated ro withstand the frantic efforts of & pig stanz into frenzy by the temptation of twenty-five pounds of yeast placed under his very nose.
