Going to Court tn Madrid* Tho Madrid correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph thus describes a visit to the lloyal palaoe on a reception day : “Thoralacio Beal of Madrid la situated at lb» western extremity of the Capital, and form* an immense quadrangle about 400 feet i» length ou each sido ; but the four facadei, although almost precisely similar as n>* garde tbolr orohitooturo, differ considerably I* tholr altitude, the aonthorn aud eastern wlor* being only about B5 feet high, while the retotfo* lug two, owing to tho declivity of the groucJ, are nearly twice that height.
