FEAT OF HORSEMANSHIP.—At the affair between the Carlists and the English auxiliaries in Spain on the 1st of October a 24 pound shot from the Carlist gun on the Ametzegana took effect upon an ill-fated horse. This animal, on which was mounted, at the moment, Adjutant Foreipan, of the 4th Regiment, was struck by the ball in the head, which it shattered into a thousand pieces; it then entered the chest and made its way through the intestines, and out at the other extremity of the body, after which it took clean off a Chapelgorri's thigh, and wounded severely, but not dangerously, an Irish woman, who was pregnant, and had a child in her arms. The most strange part of the fact is, that the rider escaped unscathed, receiving no other injury beyond a smart shock to his nervous system. Never was beheld so hideous an object as that exhibited by the smashed and mutilated remains of the horse. There was not the slightest trace of its head and neck, but instead, a wide and gory aperture in the chest, with a corresponding one at the other extremity.
