ills the Salon,
than which it is difficult to imagine a more charming promenade.

The cigar manufactory is also situated outside the walls. It is a modern
edifice of enormous dimensions, and not inelegant. In one of the rooms
between two and three hundred _cigareras_, girls employed in rolling
cigars, are seen at work, and heard likewise; for, such a Babel of
voices never met mortal ear, although familiar with the music of the
best furnished rookeries. The leaden roof, which covers the whole
establishment, furnishes a promenade of several acres.

I am anxious to return to the interior of Seville, in order to introduce
you to the Lonja; but we must not omit the Plaza de los Toros, (bull
circus,) situated likewise outside the walls, and in view of the river.
It is said to be the handsomest in Spain, as well as the largest. In
fact it ought to be the best, as belonging to the principal city of the
especial province of _toreadores_. It is approached by the gate nearest
to the cathedral, and which deserves notice, being the handsomest gate
of Seville. The principal entrance to the Plaza is on the opposite side
from the town, where the building presents a large portion of a circle,
ornamented with plain arches round the upper story. This upper portion
extends only round a third part of the circus, which is the extent of
the part completed with boxes and galleries, containing the higher class
seats. All the remainder consists of an uniform series of retreating
rows of seats, in the manner of an amphitheatre, sufficient for the
accommodation of an immense multitude. These rows of seats are continued
round the whole circus: but those beneath the upper building are not
accessible to the same class of spectators as the others--the price of
the place being different. This is regulated by the position with regard
to the sun, the shaded seats being the dearest. The upper story consists
of an elegant gallery, ornamented with a colonnade, in the centre of
which the box of the president is surmounted by a handsomely decorated
arch.

The circus, measured from the outside, is about two hundred and fifty
feet in diameter. Those who are desirous of witnessing to what lengths
human enthusiasm may be carried, should see a representation in this
Plaza. With seven prime bulls from La Ronda, and a quadrille of Seville
_toreros_--the enormous circumference as full as it can hold, (as it
always is,) it is one of the most curious sights that can
