This force is exclusive of guides, cannoneers, and a good
park of artillery.
The position of Don CARLOS is hourly becoming more
critical. A letter from Valcarlos, of the 4th inst., states
that IRIARTE, at the head of 2,000 Christinos, executed a
movement which compelled the Carlist chief URANGA to
abandon the attack upon Lodosa. The Carlists have like-
wise been obliged to evacuate Lerin, the possession of
which the Post vauntingly talked of as hardly second to
that of Madrid. Advices from Jaca likewise state that the
Carlists attempted the passage of the Cinca, but they were
driven back by Baron de MEER'S division, and compelled
to shelter themselves in Barbastro. Monson is also pepti-
pied by the Chrioinos, SO that Don Cknt.os can neither ad,
vane° nor retreat without exposing his army to the hi4ard
of being cut oft to a man. In the mean time his supplies
are stopped ; and as his troops are, for the most part, eon
posed of raw recruits actuated by hopes of plunder, de-
gertions will become numerous with the diminution of ra,
lions in the parllst
Letters from San Sebastian of the 4th Inst., bring no
intelligence from that quarter of any interest. A copy of
the conditions of service proposed by the government and
Brigadier-General to such officers and men of the Legion
as may wish to prolong their connection with the Spanish
Constitutional cause, has been forwarded to us. The term
proposed is a year, The pay and allowances are the same as
In the Britishservlee-..—the soldiers beinw subject tAliritish
Military discipline,,,and In the event of the pay being with?
held for three months, the government binds itself to
transport the men Immediately to England, and to pay them
the full amount of the year's pay, though they may not
have served for half that period, The bounty of private
soldiers is five Spanish dollars for the Infantry, and six for
the cavalry and artillery,

KING'S DAY.)

TITEKING V. THE GRAND dt'NCTION CANAL COMPANY.

The Court gave judgment in this case, which was a rule for a
tuanduMus to be directed to the Company, commanding them to
make an equal rate upon coals conveyed by the public throughout
the Canal. After maturely considering the several sections of the
Acts (35th Geo. 111., Chap. 8, and the 52d Geo. 111., Chap. 140,
which extends the power of the Company), which bore upon the
point in question, the Court could find no provision for limiting the
discretion of the Compeny as to the raising or lowering of the tolls,
and therefore the rule for the mandamus must be discharged.

THE KING V. THE BIRMINGHAM CANAL COMPANY.
The COURT also gave judgment in this case, which was an appli-
cation on the part of the Dudley Canal
_Company to procure an
equalization of tolls on the Birmingham and Worcester Canal and
the Birmingham Canal. The Court was of opinion that the ap-
plication could not be sustained, and that the rule ought to be dis-
charged.—Rule discharged.

THE KING V, KELLY, ESQ.-CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

In this case a rule had been obtained calling upon the defendant,
Fitzroy Kelly, Esq., one of his Majesty's counsel, and late Mem-
ber for Ipswich, to show cause why a criminal information should
not be filed against him for sending a challenge to Rigby Wason,
Esq., M. P. for Ipswich.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Sir F. Pollock),
now appeared to show cause against the rule, and be would at once
admit that the challenge had been sent by Mr. Kelly. He had not
only sent one, but two challenges, but he at the same time confi-
dently, but respectfully submitted that the rule must be discharged
with costs. When such an application was made their Lordships
would expect that the party who applied should not have given pro-
vocation, and that he would lay before them a candid and sincere
statement of the transaction out of which the charge arose. In the
present case Mr. Wason had given provocation by wilfully and wan-
tonly accusing Mr. Kelly of an atrocious falsehood. Instead of
coming promptly to their Lordships for protection, Mr. Wilson
entered into a correspondence with Mr. Kelly, and, during that
time, he again publicly calumniated him, and published to the world
a letter he had written for that purpose. The application arose out
of the Ipswich election, which took place in January 1835, on which
occasion Messrs. Wason and Morrison were the candidates on one
interest, and Messrs. Kelly and Dundas on the other. The two
latter were elected, but were afterwards unseated by the decision of
a Committee of the House of Commons. Another election took
place in June 1835, when Messrs. Wason and Morrison were
elected. The excitement occasioned by these circumstances had,
after a year and a half, died away, when, in the month of April in
the present year, Mr. Wason voluntarily and publicly, at a publi
meeting in the borough of Ipswich, accused Mr. Kelly of havine
coinmitted an atrocious falsehoo..l, in having appealed to the Sug
preme Being for the truth of a statement which he knew to b
false. The words so spoken by Mr. Wason, however calumniouse
were not of such a nature as allowed of an action to be brought, or,
an indictment to be preferred. Mr. Kelly had no lawful remedy ;
and although he (the Attorney-General) could not pretend to jus-
tify the course he had adopted, he thought their Lordships would
say that it was attended with circumstances of great m►tigation,
and that Mr. Wason could not make any complaint of the conduct
of Mr. Kelly. The Learned Counsel here proceeded at great
length to comment upon the affidavits upon which the rule had
been obtained, and the correspondence that had taken place between
the parties, and which has been already published.
