RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday, in the committee of the Lords, Lord
Llanover in the chair, that part of the South-Eastern
Company's Bill for their Folkestone Harbour, &c.,
Improvements, relating to the proposed new branch
line from Cheriton direct into the harbour, was re-
jected, after hearing the opposition of the land-
owners, the Earl of Radnor, Sir J. Bligh, and Gcn.
Hanicey. The other portions of the bill for other
purposes were granted. In the Duke of Rutland's
Committee the bills of the North Wales Mineral
and Vale of Clwyd Railway were passed. The ease
of the Forth and Clyde Railway was under consi-
deration in Mr. Adair's Committee; and that of the
South Wales Railway, opposed by the Great West-
ern, and which has been on for several days, is to
b© brought to a conclusion to-day.

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS. A deputation of
Mexican Bondholders presented a memorial to Lord John

Russell at the Foreign-office on Saturday. Mr. David
Robertson, M.P., in introducing the subject, explained that

the resolutions passed at the meeting on Thursday were

drawn up in accordance with the views expressed by the
Foreign Secretary and Lord Wodehouse in Parliament.

There were four points which the bondholders wished par-
ticularly to bring for', and—first, the robbery of 60,000
dollars, for which the British Government is eirpeeted to
insist upon reparation; secondly, the decrees ior agree-
ments assigning to the public creditors a certain, share of
the Customs' revenue ; thirdly, the appointment of inter-
ventors to receive this amount, a proposal which li id been
approved by Lord Malmesbury, but which had fallen
through by the mismanagement of Mr. Whitehead, the
bondholders' agent in Mexico ; and, fourth, tha frittering
away of the church property of sixty millions, enough to
pay all the foreign creditors twice over, every shilling of
which seems to have disappeared. Mr. Roberston also ob-
served that by putting on pressure the British G overntnent
might not only act justly to the bondholdeas, bu:t confer a
