laid before him every consideration which was opposed to the
determination of the Government, whicn might give rise to
the most disastrous events. M. Fonseca fully felt the difficulty
of his position, and in the evening he heard cries of We are
sold. Down with the traitor.' Crowds speedily collected,
and demanded that he should renounce his mission and
leave the town immediately, and assembled, with strong
symptoms of being about to commit excesses, before the
house of one of the junta, M. Campos, who, as the only
means of satisfying them, assured them that M. Fonseca had
left the place. Soon after order was restored."
It appears also that the houses of several persons
who were known to be friendly to the PALNIELLA Mi-
nistry had been attacked, and that the Rector of the
University had been compelled to give in his resig-
nation.

CHANCERI.-(THIS DAY.)
The LORD CHANcaLcon sat in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn,
this morning shortly after ten o'clock.

PAREDES V. LIZARDL-THE DIEXICAW REPUBLIC.

Mr. TINEEY applied this morning at the sitting of the
Court for the direction of his Lordship as to the course that
ought to be pursued in this case under the following circum-
stances :—The bill was filed at the Rolls by the plaintiff, the
present President of the Mexican Republic, against Messrs.
Lizardi and Co., the late agents of that State, for an ac-
count, and also for an injunction. On the day appointed for
hearing the application for the injunction, the .faster
of the Rolls sat at the Privy Council,and, by permission
of the Lord Chancellor, the injunction was moved
for before the Vice• Chancellor of England. That Learned
Judge granted the injunction, and the cause having
been set down at the Rolls, the parties applied to that Court
to discharge the order of the Vice-Chancellor of England.
His Lordship the Master of the Rolls, considering that he
had no jurisdiction to discharge an order of the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, declined to entertain the application, and
under these circumstances the parties asked for the direction
of the Lord Chancellor as to the course they ought to pursue.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the parties should apply
to the Vice-Chancellor of England to discharge the order he
had made. Under the Vice-Chancellor's Act any of the
Equity judges who had made an order could hear an appli-
cation to discharge it.
Mr. TINNEY said, the parties would much rather that his
Lordship should hear the application, if he would have the
kindness to do so. . _

---
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, the parties must first apply
to the Vice-Chancellor of England to discharge his order for
the injunction; and if they were not satisfied with his judg-
ment they could then apply to him.
The Court, after disposing of several short applications,
proceeded to hear appeal motions.
Nothing of any public interest occurred in the other
Equity Courts.

BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
ENORMOUS INTEREST.—BULL V. CLARKE.
This defendant, who is a law-stationer, attended on a
summons, under the Small Debts Act, to show cause why
he did not pay the sum of 61. 10s. debt and 4/. 16s. costs.
The defendant said that he was willing to pay according to
his means, but the plaintiff called on him to pay 2/. Bs.
a week for the first fortnight, and 15s. a week afterwards.
He had borrowed the money (51.) of plaintiff, and gave him
a bill for 61. 103., being 30s. for three weeks, but not being
able to pay at the moment, a writ was issued three days
after.

The plaintiff said it was borrowed by the defendant for the
purposes of extravagance, to go to Epsom races, and other
places where he was in the habit of attending.
The COMMISSIONER—Do you know what rate of interest
you have charged ? It is rather more than 5001. per cent.;
yet you are so conscientious as to condemn him for going to
races. Pray what are you? Plaintiff—l am a solicitor's
clerk, and I had no other remedy than to bring the action.
The COMMISSIONER—WeII, if you are ruined yourself by a
similar unneighlsourly act you will not deserve any pity.
The COMMISSIONER (to defendant)—What terms have
you to propose; the plaintiff has been so strictly uncon-
scientious, that I shall not find fault at your following his
example, although a very bad one?—The defendant said
that in he long vacation his business was very bad, and on
the change of the Ministry he earned only 9s. sd. ono
week, and 14s. 10d. another, yet he had now to pay 11. aweek,
and should have to do so for three months.

The COIMISSIONEK—Was that for money lent ?—Yes, sir.
The COM-1113810NIRR—I should not have cared about your
going to prison for your folly, but the plaintiff has acted
so unconscientiously that I wish I had power under the
Act to tell him to go about his business, but I see I have not ;
will, however, give you as much time as you require, for 1
never heard such a case before. You will, therefore, pay ss.
per week, or 1./. a month, commencing from the first Monday
in November.

RAILWAY CO3I M ITTE ES.

(T HIS I)AY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room A.
CORNWALL.

The Chairman (Viscount Torrington) and the other members of
this Committee re-assembled to-day, at eleven o'clock.
The evidence against the Bill was resumed.
Dr. Mitchell, mayor of Bodinin, was examined, and stated that
that town, being situated on a high acclivity, the deep cutting of the
proposed railway would most seriously affect the supply of spring
water to the town. lie did not consider that the river water would
be a substitute for the spring water, as it came from a very marshy
,oil, and was strongly impregnated with peat; besides it would have
to be conveyed to the town from a distance by means of tunnels, at
considerable expense. The other point from which river water could
be obtained was the river Allen, but it would have to be forced up a
hill. A project of that kind was entertained some time ago h
by sane
of the inhabitants of Rodmin, but abandoned in consequence of the
enormous cost of such an undertaking.
Mr. Rich, member of the corporation of the town of Bodnaln, cor-
roborated the preceding evidence.

Room B.
VALE 01' NEATIL
The members of this Committee re-assembled to-day at eleven
o'clock.
The case for the petitioners against the Bill was entered upon
to-day.
Mr. Tennent, ono of the petitioners against the Bill, wee ex.
amined, and stated that the proposed railway would ruin the interests
of himself and his family, and expressed his opinion that that wader-
taking would not confer the advantages on the district that were ex-
pected.
Mr. Charles Tennent, one of the petitioners against the Bill, and
brother to the preceding' witness, addressed the Committee at length,
contending that
the proposed railway was a Wanton invasion of pri-
vate property, without any public advantage,
and expressing his hope
that their Lordskips would not sanction such an undertaking.

Room D.
GLASGOW, Dumrsurzs, AND canxxsxm.
At eleven o'clock this moniing the hour named l'or the assembling
of the Committee, the parties interested in the Bill were called in,
when
The CHAIRMAN (the Earl of St. Germans) said that he was sorry
toinfenn them that they had not. been able to constitute the Com-
mittee, on account of the absence of Lord Orford, through indispo-
sition. His Lordship had been unwell for the last few days, but had
borne up against it until now. Now there was a standing order
of the House which explicitly precluded a Committee from sitting if
any member was absent without the permission of the House. Un-
fortunately the House was not sitting this morning, as It usually did
on Friday, and the only course left him appeared to he an adjourn-
ment till to-morrow. He shoulg, in the meantime, take care, in the
likelihood of Lord Orford not being able to attend then, that per-
mission was obtained to-night to proceed without him.
An adjournment, in consequence of this Intnnation, immediately
afterwards took place.

Room E.

EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER.

The Committee met at the usual hour, Lord Beaumont, chairman.
Lord Westminster, the owner of considerable property between
Salisbury and Yeovil, considered that the prow Line would be of
gr►at atlysirtage to tin caantry.
