The cause Of the Queen 10 tho northern
provinces Of Spain 10 disastrous, and our PIT
vate letters from Madrid show that there are
continued troubles 10 the capital. The army
Of Don Carlos had obtained decided victory }
over the combined forces Of the Queen and
the English allies. near BilbOa, in which the
latter had lost 1000 men killed and wounded.
The King of France and his family had left
Paris on a visit to the Chateau Of Eu, in the
vicinity Of Dieppe. The country appears
tranquil.
Don Carlos, to fiatter the superstition of
the Basque provinces, has appointed the
" Holy Virgin" Genera!issim0 Of his troops.
This will not serve him, we think, where the
monks and converts are being bUrOt ny the
pOpulsce. Ia a proclamation Of Don Carlos,
this hypocrite and fanatic depIores he cannot,
in presenting the standard Of the Mother OF
God, furnish the one which was worked NY
his late queen.
The Carlsts on the 4th at Lomba. under
the Pretender 10 person, with IA battallons
and 500 cavalry, were beaten by Gen. Aida
mar with the loss of 400 killed and 100 pris-
Oners.
1t is also stated, in letters Of Sept. 18th,
from the frontiers. that the Carlist battalions,
under Guergue, which had marched int" Cat
alonia, have fallen back. This does not
look like charging and cutting up British SOL
diery at Bilboa.
Paris, Sept. 10th, (morning) The tele-
graphic despatch announcing the check eXpe-
rienced by the Christmas and the English aux
iliarips near Bilb0a. mentioned the loss Of
1000 men. II the following detailed account
of the action. dated BayOnne. Sept. l4th,
given by the Gazette de France, may be relI-
ed on, the lOss was much more considerable:
You already know the result Of the first
action at Los Acros. CordOva, not having
succeeded in forcing the position occupied by
the troops that the King commanded, was
unable tn go to the sUccOur of BilbOa as ne
had the intention. II was there that was the

and having learned that the English had
marched upon Bilboa, quilted his positions at
Estella, having confided the guard of them t"

at Durango with the greater part Of his army.
The next day he overlook the enemy at Ar
rigeriarga, village n-the road from Bllb0a
to Vittoria. 1t was in this village that the
battle began. From the luminosity with which
both parties fought, this affair has been the
most severe and the most brilliant since the
commencement of the war. The English
and the Christmas, being driven back upon
Bilbos. attempted TO defend a new bridge
erected about half a league from the town
1t appears that it was at this position, which
was carried at the point of the bay0net, the
enemy sustained his greatest loss. The Aux
iliaries suffered most severely. The conflict
continued until night. The Christmas and
other English auxiIiaries lost between 1900
and 1000 men in killed and wounded. On

1t was not commended for the plaintiff that
the property in question had been delivered
t" the especial care Of any Of the defendants
agents, or servants, but merely that he had it
in his possession, and placed it in their Office
on paying his fare as passenger to Philadel-
phia, and that while SO situated it was lost or
stolen.
On these grounds-and more especially be.
cause the public company advertised that
they did not insure any property left in their
charge, and would not be- responsible in the J
event Of loss or accident-Mr. Anthem, Of
counsel for the defendants, insisted upon !

On the other side, however, Mr.. Lord con- [
