Thie is Holy Week, and conseqyentiy there are no ‘amusements in Madrid. The opera and the theatres are Even the Circus is not open. Business is linbat Completely suspended. The worst of itis that there is no cathedral here, and we are deprived of the religious processions and ceremonials which would take the place of more profane entertainments. Thousands of people have left the city for Seville, where the ceremonies are of the most elaborate character, and where the greatest bull fight given for many years will take place on Easter Sunday. Those of us who remain at Madrid walk about the Puerta del Sol, gossip at the Café Suizo, go to church and are much bored, To strangers the guard mounting ‘at the palace every morning anda lounge at the mag- nificent museum of pictures fill up the time agreeably enough; but the residenty jave literally nothing to do until five o'clock in the afternoon, when all the world goes to drive on the Prado, Here isa daily spectacle unequalled in Europe. The Park at New York, Rotten row at London and the Bois de Boulogne at Paris give one buta faint idea of the Prado at Madrid, Every resident of any note keeps his carriage, no matter how much he may stint and starve at home, and ali the carriages are to be seen on the Prado every fine afternoon, Some of the equipages are superb; the horses as splendid as ‘hess at Lon- don; the liveries as gorgeous as those at Paris, Tac drive is a very short one, and ‘all the turn. outs are thus crowded together and make & most imposing display. The ladies are ia full dress; the gentlemen wear their best costumes, On either side of the carriageway are spacious prome-*| be mades, and it is the fashion to quit the carriage after half an hour's driving amd walk up and down.

This ig smuggling under the seal of the American le- gation.

The Queen and the Prince Consort follow, or lead this fashion. Every day they walk upand down, arm in arm, attended only by a single equerry and recognized only by a gen- eral lifting of hate. The Queen dresses in black and wears. lace mantilla; the Prince Consort appears in or- imary morning costame. Her Majesty is a stout, well preserved lady, and bows biandly te the right and left as she passes alopg. Her sisters, or rather the sisters of the 'PHines ‘Consort also drive ou: daily and are quite as affable. One may ese the entire royal family on the Prado every afternoon, and if you area foreigner you have only to lift your hat to receive a special bow from the Queen. Evidently Her Majesty has no conception whatever of her larity, and fancies that she reigns by divine Fight and not by the will of the army. The recent in- surrection has taught her nothing, and yet that insur- rection was only suppressed by an accident, The artil- lery and infantry barracks fiank each other, and are both within a stone’s throw of the palace. The artillery- mon were to lead the revolt, and at a certain signal the infantry were to join in the melée; but that signal was not property given, and the result was that the infantry, not knowing which side waa to win in the fight, tarned against their friends in the artillery barracks, and summarily squeiched the revolution.
