BRITISH AUXILIARY LEGION.

Accounts received to-day from St. Sebastian, dated the
sth instant, state, that the expected attack by the Carlists
on the lines had not yet taken place. A communication
had been received by General O'Connell from the Spanish
Minister of War, in answer to a complaiat made by him
(O'Connell) with regard to General Tenia having seized
the last remittance of money sent down from Madrid for the
especial use of the Legion, but which Tenia insisted upon ap-
plying in part (of course the lion's part) to the payment of the
Spanish troops. For the delivering up of this sum of money
to Tenia, by Ximenes, a Spanish Commissary, who brought it
from Bayonne, Gen. O'Connell put the said Ximenes under
arrest. In complaining of this flagrant injustice towards
the Legion, General O'Connell very properly suggested, that
under the circumstances it would be expedient to provide
transports for the conveying of the Legion to England.
The answer of the Minister of War to this complaint
began by a kind of reproach to General O'Connell for
having expressed any censure upon the conduct of Tenia,
who was his superior officer, and the sole arbiter of the
. .

Legion in the absence of the Commander-in-Chief, or the
Captain-General of the province, and that consequently in
putting Ximenes under arrest for an act authorized and
ordered by Tenia, he (General O'Connell) had gone out
of his province ; and that with regard to the providing
of transports to take away the Legion, the Minister
added, that the Queen Regent of Spain would consult
her own pleasure and convenience on the question of sending
away that force from Spain. The communication termi-
nated by observing, that if General O'Connell deemed it
right or expedient to resign, he had only to do so, end that
the resignation would be accepted. Such is the conduct of
the Spanish Government to the Commander of a body of
British subjects, which, ill-treated and unjustly dealt with
as it has been, has done more in a few weeks than the
Spanish army was able to do in as many years—that is,
open the long shut-up communication with France, and put
into the possession of the Queen the towns of Ernani,
Irun, and Fontarabia. This last act of the Spanish
Government is a worthy crowning of their treatment to-
wards the brave, but unfortunate, British Auxiliary Legion.
A fitting pendant to this picture will be found in the con-
duct of the same Government towards the equally brave
and equally unjustly treated French Legion.

E itßATum.—ln the first leading article in yester-
day's Sun, the following sentence is rendered obscure by
the accidental transposition of the parentheses :—" With-
out such an outlet for their produce, the Scotch agricul-
turists would not be able to dispose of their lighter qualities
of grain (in any other way than by feeding cattle and pigs
with it), and even with this outlet they will, at the low rate
at which they must sell their grain this season, realise very
small profits."
We regret to state that a very serious accident oc-
curred on Sunday, while the Watling-street engine was
proceeding from the fire in Rider's-court, Southwark, to
another fire report ed to be raging at Hoxton. It appeared
that as the engine was passing up King William-street, two
persons, an elderly female and a man, rather inebriated,
were endeavouring to cross the road before the engine passed,
when the pole knocked them both down, and the engine
passed over them. Every attention was paid to the unfor-
tunate parties by Mr. Braidwood, who was on the engine
with the firemen, and they were conveyed to St. Thomas's
Hospital, where it was discovered that the female had re-
ceived a broken jaw, and all her front teeth were knocked
out. It was suspected that she had received some internal
injuries ; but no examination was made in the presence of
our informant. The man sustained little or no injury.

The water has been pumped out of the Thames
Tunnel, and on Saturday night the body of Garland, the
miner, who was at work in the shield when the irruption
took place, was got out of the works, and taken into Rother-
hithe workhouse, where it now awaits the Coroner's Inquest.
The Tunnel has received very little injury from the late
bursting in of the Thames, and the chasm having been com-
pletely stopped, an immense quantity of clay in bags having
been thrown down so as to form an artificial bed, the works
will be immediately resumed. The projectors and share-
holders are now more sanguine than ever of the comple-
tion of the Tunnel. Time alone will show whether their
calculations are rightly formed.
The price of potatoes has advanced since our last,
the merchants now giving 2s. 3d. per bag ; the price of
cider has also advanced. to 275. per hogshead, and- the
makers are holding back in expectation of a further rise.—

Saturday a Coroner's inquest was held at the King's
Arms, Smart's-buildings, Drury-lane, on the body of
Thos. Kitchen, aged 43. W. Fell, No. 20, Short's Gardens,
deposed that the house deceased died in was under re-
pair ; each room was destitute of furniture, but was occu-
pied by poor persons, who were allowed to lodge there
when they had no means of paying for a lodging. The de-
ceased was in that situation, and he and three others
slept in the same room. On Tuesday night he came home
shivering with cold, scarcely able to stand ; he, with the
others, lay on the bare boards. Witness on the next morn-
ing left him there, apparently asleep ; he returned in the
afternoon, and found that he was dead. By the Coroner—
The deceased had no means of living but by the assistance
he had from his friends. He complained of lying on the
bare boards. lam of opinion that he was in want of the
common necessaries of life. Verdict—" That the deceased
died by the visitation of God, being at the time in want of
the common necessaries of life."
A young gentleman, named William Bond St. John,
aged 13 years, one of the pupils of the Naval School at
Camberwell, left the school-room with a large quantity of
fire-works concealed about his body. By some means un-
known the fire-works became ignited, and the screams of
the unfortunate youth brought several persons to his assist-
ance. Mr. Manico, the surgeon of the school, instantly
attended, and a messenger was sent to Guy's Hospital for
Dr. Calloway, who promptly arrived. Every possible as-
sistance was rendered, but he lingered in dreadful agony
until Wednesday night, when death terminated his sufferings.
