They arrived at the Bank at eleven o'clock, and were received by the Governors and the Bank Corps, who were under arms. They proceeded through every depart ment of that extensive building, the particulars of which were fully explained to the Emperor, who paid the most minute attention to every thing which was presented to his view.

CONVICTION OF LORD COCHRANE AND MR. COCH , RANE JOHNSTONE, OF THE FRAUD ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE. No Englishman will read, this extraordinary trial without. mingling emotions of 'Nide and shame—pride that the laws of his country cannot be evaded either by rank or wealth, or by both combined—shame that amonr , the Representatives of. the people men should be found capable of a crime so de grading as fraud. At present the offenders are Members of the House of Commons. This consideration shall check the full tide of our indignation. If, for a time, we abstain from offering those comments which the case l4ust appear to demand, we beg to assure our readers it is from respect to the Assembly we have named. Let it, not be thought that we are capable of insulting their understanding, by pretending any respect for Lord Cochrane, or his worthy uncle, Mr. . . Cochrane Johnstone. - -- - The contempt inspired by their conduct is so universal, that we are conscious of no prejudice in Their favour with which we have to contend. There is only one point ait which any difference of opinion can be found, and that re lates not to their merits or demerits, but to the character and, conduct of the Members of the Stock Exchange. Some peo ple have said—" they are a set of gamblers altogether, and deserve to be taken in." "It is," say they, " but fair that the biters shoold be bit." If the effects of such a fraud were con fined to those who make time bargains at the Stock Exchinge, we should be half in: - .lined to concur with those who ho'd this opinion ; but the public at large arc liable to suffer from them. That their feelings should be wantonly played with, is what ought not to be endured. For this they have a right to seek redress ; but this is not all—they may suffer as much from such a fraud as from any other species of robbery, A on obliged, by circumstances; to purcha se in the Funds on a certain day, may, the ough such practices, see the . provi • sion she hoped to make for her children diminished by one sixth part; or that which she hoped would give her subsist ence so reduced, that It will not furnish the common necessa rie'S of life. Is such a crime, then, less atrocious than an °I..
