THE JV.•iP 1N PAILIGUAE

LISBON, Jan. 29.

The followint, later intellicence respecting the
operations of the Allied armies in Paraguay has
been received by the English mail steamer which
left Rio de Janeiro on the Bth inst. !--

" Several contests have taken place in the last
fortifications of Lopez, between the 21st and the
27th December, and the Allies have been completely
triumphant.

" They have captured everything within the
Paraguayan lines, including 46 cannon and 2,000
prisoners, and also the personal effects of the Presi-
dent.

" Lopez has fled to the forest, where, however,
he is closely surrounded by the enemy.
" Exchange at Rio, 193. d."

LICHFIELD ELECTION PETITION.

LICHFIELD, Saturday.
The judge has determined that the sitting mem-
ber (Colonel llyott) was duly elected.

THE MERCHANTS' COMPANY.

Tho further investigation into the charge of fraud
against Mr. Richard Stuart Lane, Mr. Horace Edward
Chapman, and Mr. Fredk. John Holbert Holbert, three of
the late directors of the Merchants' Company (Limited),
was proceeded with this morning before the Lord Mayor
at the Mansion-house.

Mr. Cape, the official assignee, said he thought it right
to state that since the last examination a bill of exchange
for £9OO, accepted by the defendant, Mr. Childs,
had been paid, and the amount had gone to the assets
of the company in aid of the liquidation. The wit-
ness then read an entry from the books by which it
appeared that at one of the meetings of the directors it
was resolved bat the fees due to Mr. Holbert as a direc-
tor should not be paid on account of his being in arrear
for calls. This resolution it appeared was subsequently
rescinded. From further entries in the books it appears
that Mr. Helbert and Mr. H. E. Chapman resigned
their position as directors in the company on the 22d
of June, 1866, and the resignation was accepted by the
other directors, subject to the opinion of the solicitors as
to whether the proceedings would be legal. Witness then
proceeded to give further evidence for the purpose of show-
ing that out of the £43,000 received from the shareholders
of the Merchants' Company, nearly £40,000 was applied
to the purposes of Lane, Hamkey, and Company's busi-
ness, and a considerable portion of that amount was swal-
lowed up by bad debts in connection with the last-men-
tioned company.
The case was again adjourned.
