The following memorandum from the Committee
of Mexican Bondholders shows that the country is
relapsing into its old anarchy, and that the present
Government have returned to the system of rob-
bery instituted by their predecessors, but that the
British Minister is likely at length to take measures
to force them to limit their attempts at plunder to
the property of their own citizens :
" The committee ha.ve received a letter from Mr. White-
head, via the United States, dated Mexico the 14th ult. The
Vera Cruz agents had advised receipts of 47,777 dols. duty
bills for the dividend fund a day or two before the 29th of
May, on whieb:day the Congre,ss decreed the suspension of
all payments for one year, with the exception of what was
owing on'account of the conducts robbery, and what was
payable under the foreign conventions. At the Treasury
they at first seemed to agree with Mr. Whitehead in think-
ing that arrangements made with Captain Dunlop and Cap-
tain Aldham would place the payments on account of the
British debt on the same footing as though arranged by
diplomatic convention ; but on the 11th ultimo Mr. White-
head, to his great surprise, received advices from the Vera
Cruz agents of the collector having informed them that under
the decree of the 29th of May he should give them no more
bins. This the Minister of Finance, on being applied to,
avowed to have been done by his order. Mr. Whitehead
told him that these things were not ' suspension of pay-
ments,' but violent appropriations of funds which do not
belong to them, having been made over to the bondholders,'
and immediately referred the -matter to Sir Charles Wyke,
Who has taken it up in a way which has not been witnessed
of late years. and which promises to restore her Majesty's
legation in Mexico to the high position it occupied in the
days of Sir R. Pakenham, if Sir Charles's health be spared.
The result at the date of Mr. Whitehead's letter :—The
Mexican Goveinment had answered Sir Charles Wyke's
application for the payment of 660,000d01 in a very equivocal
manner. Ihe amount of the conducts robbery at Laguna-
Seca was due on the 11th June, but up to the 14th nothing
bad been paid. The Congress had at last declared Senor
Juarez constitutional President by the small majority of 6
(61 to 55).

bonds of the Domestic Debt had fallen to 6 per cent."
The agents of the Government of Victor is have suc-
ceeded in placing the whole of their £1,000,000 of
Debentures. The balance, amounting to £768,500,
`was tendered for yesterday on terms ranging from
£lO5 ss. to £lO5 10s., but owing to the excessive
applications subscribers, at the minimum of
£lO5 55., were entirely excluded, and those offer-
ing £lO5 ss. 6d. will only obtain 1-sth of the
°mount they required.
The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
teen of a very restricted character, and in some
la stances a further slight decline took place in
prices. North-Westerns, and Midlands receded 4s. ;
Great Westerns, and North-Eastern (York), 10s. ;

however, improved ss.
