Accounts from Mexico received in Paris state that
tranquillity is beginning to be restored in the Re-
public. Porfirio Diaz has withdrawn his preten-
sions as candidate for the Presidency, and it was
believed that the re-election of Juarez was certain.
M. Achille Fould, formerly Minister of Finance
and member of the Privy Council, has died sud-
denly from apoplexy at his chateau of Loubere,
near Tarbes. He was 67. M. Fould was one of
the most eminent French Ministers of Finance in
modern days.
A solemn anniversary service was celebrated on
Saturday in the church of St. Reuil, for the repose
of the soul of Queen Hortense, the mother of the
Emperor.

Thcre has been a tremendous coufiagration at
Mulhouse. The cotton spinning factory of M.
Mieg has been entirely destroyed. The premises
and stock are said to be insured. This calamity
will turn 250 workmen out of employ.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE PETO, BETTS, AND CRAMPTON.

These well• known contractors, whose stoppage
created so much excitement recently, were to have
come up to-day to pass their last examination, but
no general accounts being filed the case stood
over to a future day. The following copy of
the abstract of the claim of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway Company may
perhaps be most interesting to the public :
The company claim as follows :—Cash paid to the
bankrupts as per contracts, .Z 1,103,412 ; stccks and
debentures taken or realised by the contractors,
£11,591,551—t0ta1, £15,997,993. Oa the other
side :—The contractors have pai I cash, &e.,
£2,171,336 ; work done, £2.093,261; cash received
by the company from the public for the Metropoli-
tan Extension stock and debentures to.ken by the
bankrupts, £1,171,450; balance due to company,
.t 6,661,913. The bankrupts dispute these figures,
and the realisation of the estate depends upon the
settlement of this account.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

John Connor, a tall, powerful-looking specimen
of the London-Irish " Rough," was charged by
Theophilus Redstall, the gaoler of the court, with
assaulting him in the execution of his duty, and
also with using threatening language ; and Margaret
Murray, an ill-favoured elderly woman of the same
class, was charged by William Lynch, one of the
warrant officers of the court, with attempting to
rescue the other prisoner.
Redstall deposed that about a quarter to seven
o'clock last evening he was engaged, with the assis-

tance of the warrant officers of the court and con-
stables appointed to the duty, in removing ten pri-
soners to the police van, which was drawn up in
Bow-street, at the door of the court. As he was
taking from the court door to the van a man named
Bryant, who had been committed for 10 days for
an assault, he saw the prisoner standing on the
pavement, near the entrance steps. The prisoner
had also appeared (on a summons) to answer a
charge of assault, and had been ordered to pay the
costs and find bail in two sureties of £lO each
to keep the peace for six months. He had paid the
costs and found bail, and had been discharged from
custody about ten minutes before the van drew up
at ithe door. But while under detention he had
been confined in the same cell with Bryant. As
Bryant was about to slip into the van, the prisoner
made a rush towards him and tried to pass to him
a bundle wrapped up in a red pocket handkerchief.
Witness took the handkerchief from him and found
that it contained a bottle of spirits.
William Lynch, warrant officer of the court, said
he was on duty at the time, and seeing the prisoner
attack Redstall seized him, and endeavoured to
take the bundle from him. A woman in the crowd
called out, "Sling it, Jack" (meaning throw it
away). _

The Magistrate said for the assault on the
constable he must be imprisoned one month, and
then find two securities of £lO each to keep
the peace for three months. He then inquired
as to the character of the woman Murray, who it
seemed had been repeatedly in custody for assaults.
The magistrate committed her for 14 days.
