MAY COST HIM Ills HEAD.



GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. 12.-Mr. Lyall,
British Consul ut this place, lately
undertook TO defend n man named Kelly,
an Englishman, who was convicted OF

to Secretary Blaine, enclosing the papers

Lyall's letters and closed with these
remarks: ~ respectfully suggest that
the enclosed letter is OF such character
as TO call for action by the United

drawing his cxequatur. Entertaining
the views expressed, his further official
relations with the people OF this State
arc calculated to disturb the friendship
and comfy existing between this aud
the British Government. A number OF
letters received from him have been
wanting in that tone OF proper respect
which should obtain from foreign
Consul to the executive Of Il State but
have hitherto passed them over Ms un.
worthy Of notice. But the present assault
on the integrity OF our judiciary, and
the threat he made use OF, renders it
necessary that some action be taken for
the preservation OF the respect d ae to
this Government and therefore the
matter is confidently committed to your
hands. am, sir, respectfully,
