RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY OF PEACE AT QUERETARO. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The royal mail steamer Hibernia, Captain Shan non, arrived in the Mersey this morning at eleven, o'clock, with the usual mails, and about 40 passen gers. Sbe has also 58,000/. in specie on freight. The dates of the Hibernia are—the 7th from New York, and the 9th from Halifax; the steamer Acadia arri ved at Halifax on the 7th instant, in eleven days from Liverpool. The United States arrived at New York on the 31st of May, and the Niagara at Boston on the 2d of June; the former making a passage of 13f days, and the latter one of 12 days and a few hours, in cluding her detention at Halifax. There was an active business doing in the export of cotton, the news from Europe by the United States having given somewhat an impetus to the market. In the grain markets business was very dull, and in dry goods and business generally great depres sion was universally complained of. The Hibernia brings the welcome tidings of the ratification of peace between the United States and Mexico by the Congress at Queretaro on the 19th ultimo. The intelligence was brought by the Edith steamer, which reached New Orleans on the 30th of May. It is thus given in the Courier and Enquirer for Europe : The treaty was ratified by the Chamber of Deputies on the 19th ult., at a quarter past six o'clock P.M. The. vote on it was 51 to 35. In the other branch of Con gress there is no doubt but that it will be approved by a - comparatively much larger vote. Orders had been issued for the calling in of the outposts of the army, and they were expected to march for the coast between the Ist 'and 15th of June. General P. F. Smith has been appointed superintendent for the embarkation of the forces at Vera Cruz, and he was to leave the city of Mexico, for the purpose of e nt er i ng on t hi s d uty , on the 24th t." The passing of the treaty did not take place with out opposition, the minority threatening to leave the chamber, and thus destroy the quorum. This threat they did not, however, carry into effect. General Herrera had not been chosen President as it was expected he would be—but Pena-y-Pena had begn elected President,ad interim, and it was thourAt - that Herrera delayed accepting the office until the treaty was ratified, that he might enter upon the Government without any of the odium which might attach to that act. The vomito was raging at Vera Cruz. Number of meetings in favour of the different candidates for the presidency were taking place in all the large towns. Mr. Trist was coming to Washington by the lake route, and, it was understood, would report himself to the President as a military prisoner —a rather singular position for him to be placed in, says the Courier and Enquirer, considering that the cause of his arrest is the making of the treaty of peace the senate and the country are so anxious to ratify. With regard to money and commercial affairs at New York, the Courier and Enquirer says : The stocks of this state are in somewhat more de mand. Of the 3,000,000 loan, at 7 per cent., one half is payable next month. Of that amuunt some 340,000 dols. have been already redeemed—leaving to be paid 1 , 2 28,730 dols.—to meet which, according to the comp troller's report of last January, there would be on hand 417,212 dols. The comptroller, under the authority of a law to that effect, issued a circular on the sth of May, proposing t o the holders of the Seven per Cent. Stock. an exchange at par for Five -and-a-Half per Cent. Stocte redeemable i n 1 855. The holders not having manifested any willingness to accept the alternative, the comptroller has advertised for proposals for a six per cent. loan, re deemable in '55 for 800,000 dolt, , the sum l ac ki ng t o pay off the balanc e o f t h e Seven per Cent. Stock, He also invites proposals to the 27th inst., for another loan of 489,817 dols., at six per cent., redeemable also in 1855,—t0 provide for other wants. These amounts, of more than a million and a quarter, are to be added to the sixteen millions which in all this month will be bid for on the United States loan. Capitalists are already preparing for these operations, and money is accumulating in the banks. Owing to the continued export of coin, bills on England are dull, although the rates remain high; 111 is the asking price, but few sales are effected. The shipment of cotton is active to Great Britain, while in bread stuffs little or nothing is doing. The market for flour has remained in a quiet state for the last week. The receipts have been free, but with a good borne demand; the stock does not accumulate fast, and prices are well maintained, particu larly on the lower grades. The range of price has been at 5 25 to 5 50 dols. for all the lower grades, and 5 75 to 6 dots. for the better kinds of Genessee, but at the close there was none to be had under 5 50 dols. for Ohio and Michigan, and 6 to 6 12i dais, for the good Genessee. One or two sales of Canadian have been made at 4 87i to sin bond; Georgetown, Baltimore, and Richmond Country are selling at 6 to 0 25 dols.; rye flour, 3 50; and corn meal, 2 56i to 2 62i for Jersey. Wheat has ar rived more freely, and is selling at 110 c. to 120 e. for Ohio mixed, and 135 c. for Genessee white. Rye s.-11s at 68c. to 70c. Oats are dull, at 450. to 47c. for northern. For Indian corn there has been an active demand for export, at 51 to 550. for mixed and yellow western; :55 to 57c. for white southern and Jersey; and 53 to 61c. for Jersey and southern yellow, closing at 59 to 60c. for the latter, showing an advance of several cents. Freights have also improved, the late engage ments having been at sd. to 6d. per bushel on corn to Liverpool. 4. mai . 17 . No 17 391. ] • LONDON, THURSDAY • N . ,„. t „e„. - JUN 22E fr 1848. [PRICE SD. LA W IN TELLIGEN CE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 21. (Niti Prius Sittings at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice DENmAN and a Common Jury.) COCHRANE v. YOUNG. The plaintiff in this ease is the late candidate for the representation in Parliament of the city of West minster; the defendant is the proprietor of The Sun newspaper. The action was brought to recover com pQnsation for libels upon the plaintiff, which were pub lished in The Sun newspaper by the defendant. The damages were laid at 5,0001. action that could possibly be imagined. It might be a lower principle of action than many given to us by Providence; but the estimation of the world was that which, amongst other motives, clung to us from the ear liest to the latest period of our existence, and formed one of the strongest incentives, as well as one of the best rewards for virtuous conduct in this life. A person therefore who assailed the character of another inflicted on him the deepest injury, and, therefore, al:hough he would desire to drive from courts of justice all trifling complaints for words or strong expressions used without any intention of wounding character, he trusted the time would never arri ve when such would be the lack of moral feeling in th e coun try, that juries would treat lightly and with indiff eren be complaints of so serious a description as slander s w hi c h did affect re putation and character. He trusted he had not ex ceeded the fair limits of his duty in these remarks. All he had now to do was, to prove the publication of the libels—which, however, he understood his Learned Friend was ready to admit —and that they applied to Mr. Cochrane, and then, when they had listened to what his Learned Friend had to say, he would request them to ask themselves whether the imputations con veyed in these libels were not of the most serious cha racter—whether they were not calculated to destroy the reputation of Mr. Cochrane for the remainder of his ex istence—and whether, under these circumstances, it was not incumbent upon them, in the di sc h ar ge of their im portant functions, to give him such da m ages as a gentle man so outraged had a right to exp ec t, and he trusted would ever receive, at the hand s o f a j ur y of his fellow countrymen? Mr. Joseph Randall produced copies of The Sun, con taining the libels set out in the declaration, and proved that Mr. Young was the registered proprietor of that newspaper. Mr. Mather, a builder, living in King-street, Golden square, proved that he had been canvassed to vote for Mr. Cochrane at the last Westminster election ; that he read the letters published in The Sun, and which were now complained of, and he understood and believed them to apply to Mr. Cochrane. Lord DENMAN—Can there be a doubt of that ? Mr. Cocmatiesr—Certainly not, my Lord ; we offered to admit it. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the jury for the defendant, and said that in a great deal that had fallen from his Learned Friend he entirely agreed, for his friend avowed—and no one could deny—that a party who came forward as a candidate for the city of Westminster was liable to have all the antecedent circumstances of his past conduct and character discussed and canvassed, in order that it might be ascertained whether he was a person to whom that most important of all trusts should be con fided. It was admitted, therefore, on the part of the plaintiff, that when he proposed himself to the conside ration of the electors of Westminster, he had no right to object to an investigation taking place as to his past con duct. lie did not mean to say that because a man came forward as a candidate for a seat in Parliament any one would on that account have a right to state of him that which was untrue; but that he had a right to canvass and discuss such a man's past character and conduct if he thought proper to do so. No doubt, if a man at an early period of his career had fallen into errors and com mitted follies, it might be harsh to bring up these against him after the lapse of a considerable number of years; but still a man who came voluntarily before the public was liable to have this done; and the answer, the only answer, would be that he had made atonement by his subsequent conduct for the follies he had been guilty of at an earlier period of his life. It seemed to him that that answer, if any could be given to these charges, Mr. Cochrane ought to have offered; and ho had hoped that before this case was disposed of Mr. Cochrane would have attempted to show that he had atoned for his past indiscretions before he sought to obtain da mages against those who had charged him with being L guilty of them. His Learned Friend had indeed said about Mr. Cochrane much that was not proved, and in • a =.21 I 1 I 1 it would he competent for them to refer to it for the latter purpose. Lord DENMAN repeated that could not bo done, inas muchasit was not pleaded that the plaintiff published the book. Mr- COCKBUItN—Then I challenge my Learned Friend to let me put in the book, and to acknowledge it. If the object of the plaintiff is to vindicate his character, t c the s i let th e b oo k h e put in. I am prepare d t o stand or fall by it. If h e w ill l et us put in the b oo k I w ill venture to say that notw i t h stand i ng the reply my L ear ned Friend would then b e ent i t l e d to ma k e you wou ld n ot give him a Sir F. Tuesi cen .—Th at is rather hard upon your rt . challenge n ctooeodde Mr. accepting int the e a a g Ne proceeded , " Learned Friend."—(L aug h ter .) Lord DENstAw.—l fear I s h ou ld be obliged to prevent h rh but is to he say e thatuld not h e do m u s s o t t er discuss with out commenting upon the frivolous pretence of the plaintiff—that he was bringing an action for vindication of his charact er , an d yet w h en an opportun i ty occurre d for trying the question fairly between the parties, whe ther he was the injured individual he represented him self to be, or the impostor he was called in the libel, that ho should prevent the trial of the issue by resort ing to technical objections. His Learned Friend was, undoubtedly, justified in takin g hi s stan d on the record , but let it be understood what was, in consequence, the question at issue, and do not let it be said after this, that in winning the action Mr. Cochrane had obtained that vindication of his character which was his pretence for bringing it. They were now limited to the question of publication, which was admitted, and the consequential question of damages. The jury would observe that this was a case in which there was no pretence for saying that the defendant bad been guilty of malice, nor was it a case in which the plaintiff had been dragged from private life before the public. On the contrary, the plaintiff had placed himself before the public and had assumed a public character. The defendant, who was an elector of the city the plaintiff sought to repre sent, believing these were matters respecting him which required explanation, called for it, but had only been answered by that action. His Learned Friend did not deny that the plaintiff had gone wandering about in a high-peaked conical hat, with a great overshadowing brim, a profusion of hair, a huge mantilla cloak, a variegated vest, and indescribable inexpressibles; and that in this disguise he had introduced himself into pri vate families, where it was said that gold and silver, not to mention other favours, had been heaped upon him. He had published his adventures in a book, but that was carefully withheld; and by an oversight on their part they could not offer it in evidence. He therefore only referred to it with reference to the question whether he had a right to impute malice to the defendant or not. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to argue that there was no evidence of any malicious motive; that the defendant was morally, if not legally, justified in the course he had pursued; and concluded an eloquent speech by urging upon the jury that very small damages would afford the plaintiff ample satisfac- COMMERCIAL DISTRESS. kit b .”OROUGH.—BLACKSMITH'S ARMS, QUEEN - S TREET, 4 COMMERCIAL AND FAMILY HOTEL.

COCHRANE AND THE ELECTORS OF WEST3IINLTER. To the Editor of the Sun. "Sir,—As an elector of Westminster, allow me to ask whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane who now so osten tatiously parades his pretensions to represent Westmin ster, is the same person as one Senor Juan de Vega who some few years back published a journal of a tour through Great Britain and Ireland, and who then para ded a series of adventures in various towns and places at which modesty and ~decency felt ashamed, and whose public avowal signally proved the want of good taste and common propriety in the writer ? If they be one and the same person, the electors of 'Westminster ought to know it. It not, Mr. Cochrane cannot too soon disown the identity. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " St. James's, Feb. 12." " ALPHA. Now to this letter the defendant appended the note — We cannot answer this question, but perhaps Mr. Cochrane will?" and he (Lord Denman) must say he thought the questioa was a pertinent one, and that he ought to have done so. If a book containing the adven tures of Don Juan de Vega were published, and was supposed to contain improper passages, he thought it was fair for any man under the circumstances to say to the defendant, " Are you or are you not the author of that book?" and that the defendant should have an- swered the question. His Lordship then read the second libel as follows.:— PRED.'S HOLIDAY LETTER DEAR PAPA AND that you'll smile To find me adopt the poetical style. But, nevertheless, I've a wish too ornposo A metrical letter instead of a pre. The Midsumm,r holidays soon will be here, And Fred in your presence will shortly appear. But before I return, I have something to say Which I'm certain will not put you out of the Way. I shall want a new suit, you are fully aware, For the dress I have by me begins to look bare.

Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conscouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether aoquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering, from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so trequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the :nedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ,ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

DEATH OF A CHARTIST LEADER FROM MAD NESS.—Mr. Councillor Briggs of Sheffield, a well - kn own Chartist leader, and o ne of the delegates of the late Na• tional Convention, died on Tuesday morn i n g raving mad in the Sheffield Lunatic A s yl um . The immediate cause of his malady is supposed by Mr. Overend, one of the surgeons who attended him, to have been the deread of a Government prosecution for a seditious speech 40 1 1vered by him at a Chartist meeting on Whit -Monday. Sir F. Thesiger, Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorff appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Welsbe, for the defendant. Sir F. THESIGER opened the case to the jury by stating that the plaintiff would not have complained of any fair criticism upon his conduct when he offered himselt as a candidate for a seat in Parliament, but he felt, himself bound to come forward and vindicate himself when anonymous attacks were made upon his private character. The plaintiff was well aware there was one passage in his early history that might expose him to ridicule, and possibly to reprobation, for in very early life he had conceived the boyish fancy of dressing himself up as a Spanish min strel, and travelling about the country under the as sumed name of ,Don Juan de Vega. When in mature age we looked back at our boyish pranks, we were apt to hug ourselves with the idea that we were much wiser and better than we were formerly, and if the youthful actions of others were the subject of considera tion we were but too apt to assume a graver and sterner air, and make ourselves harsh censors of their conduct. Mr. Cochrane, in looking back to his youth ful pranks, was, unquestionably, ready to join with those who were disposed to smile at or condemn his conduct; and if his political adversaries thought proper to take advantage of this passage in his history, for the purpose only of exposing him to ridicule and of endea vouring to lower him iu the eyes of those whose suffrages he was soliciting, he would not have been there to-day to complain of it, and admitted that he would have had no right to do so. If they had chosen to draw pictures of him in his disguise, or to laugh at him for hav ing worn it, it would have been quite a legitimate course for them to adopt, and Mr. Cochrane would have been peculiarly, not to say absurdly, sensitive if he had come forward in a court of justice to complain of it. But it was because these libels were of a graver character— because they seriously and deeply wounded the moral character of Mr. Cochrane ; because it was quite im possible, it they were believed, that he could enjoy the estimation of any respectable person, that he felt it due to his own character and to those gentlemen who were pleased at the last general election to honour him with their suffrages to come before a jury for the purpose of tailing to account the person who had chosen in this manner to assail his character, and of desiring him, if there were any truth in the imputations cast upon him, to offer that truth to the jury as a justification. The libels set out in the declaration consisted of four different letters which appeared in The Sun newspaper in the month of February in the last year, and a short time previous to the general election, and he might say at once that if the defendant had only published the libels contained in the first three counts of the declaration Mr. Cochrane would never have complained of them. These, however, had been introduced into the declaration for the pur pose of showing the series of attacks that had been made upon Mr. Cochrane, and as being introduc tory to the fourth libel, but for which these proceedings would never have been instituted. He would, therefore, pass lightly over the letters published on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of February, though they adverted in very strong, perhaps he might say in unmeasured, terms to that part of Mr. Cochrane's history he had referred to, and he would come at once to what appeared to him to contain the sting of all, and to reflect most seriously on Mr. Cochrane's character, and be would ask the jury whether such language could be justified. except on the ground of its being true, and whether, if a party were called to account for publishing such slander, he ought not to be prepared with a vindication ? The libel he now referred to appeared in The Sun newspaper, in the form of a letter, with the initials "D. 8.," and was dated " Brighton, Feb. 17, 1847." There were various inge nious modes by which slander was conveyed to the public. Sometimes it was in the form of an editorial article, sometimes in that of an advertisement, and at another time as a letter from au obliging correspondent. On the present occasion the last mode was adopted, and " D. B." was the person from whom the following letter was said to have been received, and thereupon commu nicated to the public : " MR. COCHRANE AND THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. " To the Editur Sun. " Sir,—My attention has been directed to the inqui ries contained in your paper relative to the identity of Mr. Cochrane, the present candidate for Westminster. with one Juan de Vega, who some years back travelled through some parts of England professing to be a Spa nish refugee, and then published adventures of a most immoral kind. as the account of his travels. I remem ber a person calling himself Don Juan de Vega, solicit ing charity in this town, not for himself only, but for his fellow Spanish refugees. He came as a Spanish pea sant, a large skuched straw hat, an open vest, a man tilla cloak, breeches, and stockings, formed his dress ; he professed to speak no English, French and Spanish being the only languages he knew. He was of slight figure, and dark mulatto complexion. He excited much compassion in the town. where he professed to be a Qua ker, and attended the Friends Meeting House; was fed, clothed, and had motley given to him in no small quantity; and yet was afterwards, by his own published adventures, found to be an impostor, a hypocrite, and a scoundrel. lie endeavoured to seduce every girl he could come near, and those whom he could not ruin in person he sought to lower in character, by imputing in print the actions of charitable feeling to the promptings of the most un chaste passion. I know, and could identify the man. I do not know whether the Juan de Vega of Brighton be the candidate for Westminster. I can hardly believe that the swarthy Juan de Vega can be the Mr. Cochrane who appears at the meetings of charity, dances with the daughters of the governor of the Licensed Victuallers at their annual balls, and is alternately heard of at the Crown and Anchor and at Exeter Hall, in company with 1)r. Leilchild and Mr. 13. B. Cabbell. I say I can hardly believe it, and yet why does he not deny it? If they be the same person, I pity the deceived, I despise the deceiver. But I will come up to London on his first public appearance, and my own eyes shall, if I be spared to see him, convince myself. If Juan de Vega be Mu'. Cochrane, I will denounce him, and the tallow chandler and grocer' whom he so described, and whose hospitality he abused, shall shame him from the West minster hustings. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Brighton, Feb. 17 , 1847 ." " D. B. Agreeing as they should probably do in all the observa tions he had addressed to them with reference to the license that might be permitted to individuals or public journalists as to the character of the person who soli cited the honour of representing any constituency in Parliament, he would appeal to their just and impartial views of propriety whether it wa ; to be endured that a person should be exposed to imputations of this descrip tion, and that without the slightest provocation he should have his reputation entirely blasted by charges of such grossly immoral conduct as was here imputed to Mr. Cochrane? With regard to the act itself he had ad mitted that it was au act of youthful folly and indis cretion. The money thus collected he had, however, handed over to the fund for the relief of the Spanish exiles; and so far, therefore, as any conduct could redeem the absurdity of the act itself, there was the most perfect redemption of it on the part of Mr. Cochrane. lie admitted, too, that he was open to attacks in re spect of what he had done, though this had been done not by the Mr. Cochrane of the present day, but by the Mr. Cochrane of more than twenty years ago ; but he did think that it' he were accused not merely of ridiculous but of immoral conduct, that ho had attempted to seduce the different young females to whose society he was admitted, the irupwation would not merely affect his character as a young man, but unless it were refuted would stamp him with infamy for the remainder of his days. lie, therefore, felt it due to his character, to his station in society, and to those who had honoured him with their support at the last general election, to call upon his accuser in this public manner to prove the truth of the slander he had inserted in his newspaper. The jury were probably aware that it was competent for a person who had slandered another by word or publication, if called to account for it in a court of justice, to plead the truth of what he had stated in justification. It was open, therefore, to the defendant to pursue that course, and Mr. Young had thought proper to put on the record three or four pleas of justification, which were, how ever, of that vague, general, and indefinite kind that they presented no tangible ground whatever by which Mr. Cochrane could understand the precise issue raised between himself and his calumniator. Mr. Cochrane, therefore, demurred to those pleas as not being sufficient in law, and the Court being of opinion that such was the case set them aside, but gave the defendant a week's time to amend them. He had not, however, taken ad vantage of the opportunity so aff,rded, and therefore the record contained no plea of justification, but Mr. Young met Mr. Cochrane merely with a denial of the publica tion of the libels complained of, and therefore the only question they had to decide was, whether those libels were published by Mr. Young, and if they should be of that opinion, what would be the fair and reasonable amount of damages Mr. Cochrane would be entitled to for the injury his reputation must have sustained by those libels ? His Learned Friend would probably endeavour to make them believe that the let ters complained of were really addressed to the editor of this newspaper ; but this was merely an assumption, just as a disguise was assumed by Mr. Cochrane; and, moreover, the defendant was not now entitled to say so, and it must be treated, as no doubt it was, as a fiction. Nobody was more aware than he was that trfiing actions for slander ought to meet with no encouragement in courts of justice; but the fre quency of them was an indication of the deeply-seated desire every person had to obtain the good opinion of his fellow men. The person who assailed the reputation of another not only committed a positive injury by ruin. ing him in the estimation of the world, but also in tak ing from him that inward comfort a man possessed when satisfied that he enjoyed the good opinion of those ar ound him. It was on e of the stron g est motives to . . this respect he would follow his example for a single moment. He was representing before them the pro prietor of The Sun newspaper, and he believed he was perfectly justified in saying that no portion of the public press was more fairly or honourably conducted. The jury might have heard much of it out of court, but he believed in court they had heard less of it than any other newspaper. He believed he was justified in saying that in the leading columns of that newspaper there were no imputations upon Mr. Cochrane; but simply such obser vations as a person who was himself interested in the re turn that constituency would make might justly offer to the electors of Westminster on a question which appeared to him one of considerable im portance—namely, whether the man who soli cited their suffrages was th© man Is ho at a former period had assumed the character that had been men tioned, and who was accused by those who had penned the letters referred to as having committed gross out rages upon decency and propriety. The letters had been published with this purpose; and Mr. Cochrane had thought proper to bring the publisher into a court of justice. Now, as his Learned Friend had stated, any person whose conduct or character was attacked was entitled to bring hie case into a court of justice, and call upon his assailer to prove the truth of his accusations, if they were capable of proof; but he did not think his Learned Friend was justified in complaining, as he had done, of the conduct of the defendant in this respect, because, to the best of his ability, the defendant had attempted to put a justification on the record ; but the plaintiff had demurred to those pleas as being too vague and general, and had, therefore, got rid of them on the ground that they were insufficient in law. He thought this was rather a curious course for the plaintiff to pursue on such an occasion. Ile came forward and avowed by the mouth of his counsel that he had been guilty of gross fully and indiscretion. tie was in addition charged with having availed himself of the opportunities his fraud afforded him, of violating the sanctity of domestic life ; and, as an additional re ward for the hospitalities he had received, of exposing the follies and errors which others had been led into by himself. The action being brought, the defendant offered to place certain pleas on the record, in which, following the language of the libels, ho declares the matters contained in them to be true. Now, if the plaintiff was really anxious . to have the matter ex amined into and thoroughly sifted, and to show the falsehood of the charges, and, as he called them, of the calumnies against him, ono would have thought that, however technically imperfect the form of the pleas, Mr. Cochrane would have been but too happy to meet his opponent in a court of justice, and to vindicate his character from such imputations. Instead of this, however, Mr. Cochrane had got rid of those pleas by technical objections, and he was sorry to say it was not foreign to his experience for plaintiffs in cases of libel to do so under similar circumstances. It was said the pleas were su va gue that Mr. Cochrane could not tell what was to be answered; but no man who looked at them fur a moment could doubt the mean ing of them. The defendant said, in effect, " You are the party who travelled about as a Spanish minstrel, and committed many follies under that assumed character. You a'so, by such means, gut into private families , and you abused the opportunities which you by that means wished to obtain. You afterwards published a book con taining an account of these adv e ntures, and your ac count of them is scandalously immoral, and an outr a g e on all propriety and decency." And on what did the defendant rest his case? On the production of a book, and on proof of the authorship. Of course the defendant could hardly be expected to know more of these matters than was contained in that book. He could not otherwise follow this wandering minstrel through all the private scenes of disgusting profligacy which the book had exposed to the eye of the public. And what was this publication? An account given in so mysterious a manner with respect to the identity of individuals, that they immediately re cognised themselves, and their own intimate friends knew them ; and by that means the greatest possible misery and anguish was inflicted on their own minds and the minds of their friends and families. Of course the defendant was not in a situation to state the names and particulars of the parties involved in these transactions. The writer, who gave an account of the amorous widow E—; of the fair daughter of B--; or of the blooming wife of L--, knew well whom he alluded to, and their friends and relations might know it ; but the defendant could nut know it, and therefore he could not plead it on the record. His pleas, therefore, were objected to by 1 the plaintiff on this technical ground, and the Court held that they were bad in this respect, and that the defendant was not in a situation to maintain them. His Learned Friend in saying that a week's time was given ; what the Court said was, that if the to amend the pleas was wrong defendant liked to confine his justification to that por ' tiers of the pleas which r elated to the publication of a eas book under the assumed name of " Don Juan do Vega," he might do so. Lord DENmax—What the Court said was, that if the defendant wished to confine bis pleas of justification to that matter he might do so ; but, on the other hand, that if he thought proper he might amend his pleas. Mr. COCKBLTRN—Eren supposing the most general power of amendment bad been given by the Court, it was impossible the defendant could be in a situation to state with sufficient peculiarity that which the Court would have required of him. lie had no other materials than the book afforded him, and consequently he had not the information that was absolutely essential for his purpose. There was, therefore, no plea of justification on the record ; from the nature of the case it was im possible there should be, and therefore he admitted that in the present instance there must be a verdict for the plaintiff. He apprehended, however, that in satisfaction of damages he might call their attention t o the state ments of the plaintiff himself, not with a view to making out a complete justification, but to show that he was dis entitled to anything but nominal damages at their hands. The Learned-Gentleman was then proceeding to refer to the book containing the adventures of Don Juan de Vega, when lie was interupted by Sir F. THESIGER, who objected that the book could not be referred to. Lord DENMAN—Is it proposed to read those parts of the book which are referred to in the lib e l s? Mr. CocKnuaN—Yes, my Lord. Lord DENDIAN—I do not see how that can be done. You have not pleaded that the book would make out your case. The book would be evidence of any facts stated in it; but you have not pleaded that the plaintiff published the book. Mr. WELSBY argued that as they proposed to read the book, sot in justiAcation, but in mitigation o f damage,, " WESTMINSTER ELECTION. " To the Editor of the Sun. " Sir,-A correspondent in your excellently con ducted journal asks ' Who is Mr. Cochrane, the pre sent candidate for the representation of Westminster? Is he the same Mr. Cochrane who, some, years since, travelled throughout the country as a Spanish min• strel? Is he the party who published a descriptive account of his w nude& .Ligb Ltirougt. Kent, unit Liussext These questions require a straightforward answer, since it must not be borne, it must not be tolerated that the large and influential city of Westminster shall be represented by a person who, in the disguise of a travelling musician, succeeded, in many in stances, alas ! too many instances, in in sinuating himself into private families, and afterwards exposed the flirtation of sundry misses, some in their teens, arid others approaching that questionable age when ladies begin to think they are forgotten by the sterner portion of the sex. I do nut state that Mr. Cochrane is the man who thus acted. Ido not aver that he is the individual who published sundry amours in his book, which he pretended took place at Canterbury, Dover, Hastings, and Brighton. I can scarcely believe that a man who could betray the confidence of any female, after having been fad and pampered to satiety by her friends, and supplied with money, believing the said individual to be in the condition of an unfortunate political exile, would dare to affront a highly respectable and honourable constituency with his presence. But, sir, you say, ' Perhaps Mr. Cochrane will inform the electors whether he is the person I have thus hastily alluded to ?' My reply is, do not take Mr. Cochrane 'a word for his innocence. I knew the wandering minstrel, the poor amiable young man, who had been driven from friends and home owing to political disturbances in his own country. I have seen him often, but not since he gathered silver and gold from those who pitied his pre tended misfortune—from those who fostered the viper— who felt for and sympathised with him in his assumed r i at s rest, distressed condition, and I might be able to identify him ; yet there is a probability of clearing up the point beyond nioffieu m the possibility of doubt. The minstrel's work w as printed by Mr. Brettel, of Rupert-street, Hay mar k et , e a a n n l tt h ie a r v e e for r e e , as w o i n t : ht d kw that lty that , set the gentlemanatte per fectly acquainted with the person of Mr. C oc h rane, and and thus ease the minds of many parties who have pro mised Mr. Cochrane their support, but who would at once withdraw it if Mr. Cochrane can be identified as the wandering minstrel. All ow me t o add that Brettel has taken a very prominent part in the Westminster election; he is a Liberal, too, and would no doubt, not only fur the credit of the House of Commons, but for the honou r an d reputation of Westminster, orauaons, set 'he matter at rest. " I am, Sir, faithfully yours, "Fleet -street." It J. .. Now here were the same questions, and he must repeat that he thought Mr. Cochrane ought to have answered them. The third libel was this:— "MR. COCHRANE AND THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. " To the Editor of the Sun. "Sir,—ls Mr. Cochrane the same person as Don Juan du Vega,' or is he not? If he be the same person, then the violated hospitality and outraged kindness shown to him at Brighton, Canterbury, Dover, and other places, will rise up in judgment against him, and serve as a warning to the electors of Westminster not to con fide in any such wandering personator. If he be not Juan de Vega, then why not disown it ? Let Mr. Cochrane beware, if he be the fraudulent Spaniuh re fugee that Juan de Vega pretended to be, that he does not meet such an exposé as he well deserves, if identical with that vagabond.—Yours, an Elector, Feb. 16, 1847." " J. C. This letter was followed by the one which was chiefly complained of.—(His Lordship then read the fourth libel, which will be found printed in the speech of Sir Frederick Thesiger.) Tho plaintiff had brought his action for the publication of these libels, but ho had not said whether he was the author of this book or not, or whether he was the wandering minstrel, whose adventures were described in it. He had left the de fendant to justify himself as well as he could. The de fendant had pleaded a number of pleas, and the plaintiff had demurred to them, as being too general. T" defendant had liberty granted to him to amend ; bui instead of doing so, he left no plea but that of " Not Guilty " on the record. He much regretted the course taken on both sides. It seemed to him to be a sort of ingenious contrivance to keep the jury in perfect igno rance of the truth of the case they had to try. The plaintiff said he came to vindicate his character, but ho would not acknowledge whether he published the book or not ; and the defendant would not plead that the plaintiff published it. It was quite plain that in pursu ing this course the defendant had nut done himself jus tice. He (Lord Denman) could not conceive why it was that, in a court of justice, the truth was thus always lust amidst forms and technicalities ; so, however, it was at present. Under these circumstances, they had to say whether the plaintiff was entitled to more than nominal damages. courtlhe jury i a verdictretired for so for the the m p e iai te, and n im tiff_Dam r a e g t e u s r , n 4 ed os.into DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR FULLERTON DuNDAs, BART.—This Baronet, for many years, a dis• tinguished officer in the East India Company's service, died on the 16th inst., at Richmond, Surrey, iu the 63d year of his age.

Your Committee see no reason to doubt that these causes have in different degrees, in different parts of the country, produced the effect thus ascribed to them. For the further development of the views enter tained on these various point: by the gentlemen whom they have examined, they must refer to the eviden ce . With regard to some of the circumstances above re ferred to, prevision has already been made by Parlia ment, and it must be obvious that others are beyond the control of legislative enactment. Many of the witnesses, including the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, have ex pressed their belief that earlier steps iu the autumn of . 1846, and the spring of 1847 , on the part of the Bank of England, might have obviated the necessity for the more stringent measures which circumstances compelled the directors to adopt in April, and might thus have pre vested the alarm which was caused by those measures. The grounds on which that belief is entertained, toge ther with the considerations which influenced the pro ceedings of the bank, are explained iu the evidence of those witnesses who were examined on this branch of the subject. It is one in respect to which a wide discre tion must necessarily be left with those who are charged with the management of the business of the Bank, and your committee trust that this discretion will be exer cised with due prudence, if similar circumstances should again occur. An opinion appears to have been entertained by some persons, though not by the Governor and Deputy- Governor of the Bank of Engl .nd, that the Bank is released by the Act of 1844 from any obligation, ex cept that of consulting 'the pecuniary interests of its proprietors. It is true that there are no restrictions imposed by law upon the discretion of the Bank, in respect to the conduct of the b inking as distineuishe 1 from the issue department.. But the Bank is a public institution, pos sessed of special and exclusive privileges, standing in a peculiar relation to the Gov( rnment, anti exercising, from the magnitude of its resource,, great influence over the general mercantile and monetary transactions of the country. Tiwee eirr urn trtnens impose upon the Bank the duty of a consideration of the public int,rest, not indeed en ucted or defined by law, but which Parliament, in its various transactions with the Bank , has al w ays recog nized, and which the Bank has never disclaimed. It is unnecessary to impose such duty by law, as there can be little doubt that the permanent interests of the Bank aro identified with those of the public at large. That identity of interest gives both to the public and to the proprietors of Bank stock a deep interest in every measure calculated to ensure an enlightened administra tion of the affairs of the Bank. change bodyn been e e deputy governor, e of made uatdy the Your Committee have learnt, therefore, with satisfac tionssetetthat a that the attention of the court of directors has been en r t o h governor, calculated, in the opinion of your Committee, to yi v a e t s t t i h s o e t s c h u o e b n j selection en andttito constitution nnof of the the governing governor them,given i Bank. They feel confident that the effect of this change, and the experienced which has b een acqu i re d during the events . of the last two y ears , w ill ensure to the public in the future management of the Bank of England greater benefits from this national establishment than it has hitherto been the means of conferring upon the country. Your Committee have received with deep regret from many witnesses evidence of the extent of loss iu curred by . commercial houses i n t h e course o f l as t autumn, from an unprecedented combination of the cir cumstances above referred to, and seriously aggravated by the want of confidence which prevailed in conse quence of the numerous failures, and which induced bankers and others to retain a reserve both of gold and of bank notes to a very great extent. It is to be ob served that this took place w ith a ver y l arge a mo u nt of notes in the hands of the public, exceeding, in the opinion of a witness most competent to form an opinion, by no less than 4,000,000/., " the actual re quirements of the public at the time." The feeling of alarm which prevailed appears to have been immediately removed by the issue of the letter addressed to the Bank of England, on the 25th of Oc tober, by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. The issue of that letter was, no doubt, an extraordi nary exercise of power on the part of the Government; but the House has decided that, in the peculiar circum stances of the period, th e y were j ust ifi e d in taking that step. It will be seen, from the evidence of Mr. Cotton, the . Governor of the Bank in 1844, that the possibility of circumstances arising in which scme extraordinary measures might be called for in consequence of a state of monetary crisis, was not unforeseen by the Govern ment at the time when the Act of 1844 was passed. The evidence which has been given as to the effects of the Act of 1844 has been contradictory. Its beneficial effects, as regards the issue of the country banks, have been admitted by many of the witnesses, and although some have suggested an alteration of its provisions, very few have contested the general principles on which it is founded. Your Committee have had under their consideration, whether it is advisable that powers should be conf, rred by law upon the Government, to enable them to meet the occurrence of any circumstance which may call for extraordinary interference; but they have come to the couclusion that, looking to the impossibility of' foreseeing what the precise character of the circumstances may be, and also what may be the measure best ca lculated to meet them, it is more ex p e di e nt to leave to those with whom the responsibility of the Government may rest at the time, to adopt such measures as may appear to them best suited for the emergency. Your committee, thererore, after a careful review of all the evidence, are of opinion that it is not expedient to make any alteration in the Bank Act of 1844. June 8, 1848.
