Stn,—As an elector of Westminster allow me to ask, whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane, who now so ostenta tiously parades his pretensions to represent Westminster, is the same person as one Senor Juan de Ye a, who some few years back published a journal of a tour through Great Britain and Ireland, and who then paraded a series of adven tures in various towns and places at which modesty and de cency felt ashamed, and wht•se rublic 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 Wes.- minster ought to know it.

" I w ill ask," said he, "at the ame time something unconscionable; that will of course be refused, b u t, t o so f ten t h e re f usa l , they w ill grant the smaller b oon—l will ask for a Peerage and alt ureau de gaboc." He did so ; but the poor deputy was taken in—for he was made 4 Pear. " I enclose to you a report of M. Guizot's speech, which I have just read in this making's Moniteur. There are many portions of that speech w by of comment; but the object of my aldressing your Lordship on the subject is personal to thyself. I observe, M. Guizot, in alluding to my interview with bins of the 25th of September, uses this phrase:—' Mais yose dire qua si M. rAinbassadeur W.\ ngleterre m'avait fait rtionneur de m communiquer sa irejtche da 25 Septembre, coname it m'avait communique cello du 1 Seinembre, j'aurais parle autroment et puet-etre mieux qu'il ns'a fait parlor.' " It M. Guizot means that if I had returned to him the next day, and read to him this dispatch, the recital would hai - e been more exact, I at once reiterate, in the strongest possible terms of which language is capable, that the report made by me to your Lordship in that dispatch is a close and literal translation of every phrase used, and of every explana tion offered by M. Guiz,it during that conversation. " Your Lordship will observe that M. Guizot does not give the slightest intimation of what would have been the nature of any alteration which, under these circumstances, he would have made. " If M. Guizot only means, that if I had returned to him the next day, the phraseology of his answers might at his request have been improved, I think that very likely ; if I had again given him that very unusual opportunity which in the spirit of courtesy I offered to him on the 2d of Septem ber, I have no doubt he might then, as before, have altered a phrase he had used, as well as have supplied an omission which he had observed. But, after what was stated yester day, it becomes important your Lordship should bear in mind what was the one inaccuracy in the dispatch of the Ist of September. I had on the 2d of September M. Guizot's own confirmation of the literal report of every expression used by him, except that I had not clearly explained the nature of the memorandum of the 27th of February. Desiring to give every facility to M. Guizot to make his case known to your Lordship, I adopted his suggestion, and insured the words he desired, though I feel bound, in self-defence, to say that M. Guizot did not succeed in stating so clearly to me the nature of this communication on the:tirst day.as he did on the second. _ _ _ _ " I should have been perfectly contented that the matter should remain as it is, but I feel it due to my own character, which no other consideration can induce me for a moment to compromise, to request your Lordship will give the same publicity to this dispatch as to the rest of the corre spondence." To that dispatch the following answer was returned yesterday by Lord PALMERSTON : " Foreign-office, Feb. 11, 1847. "My Lord,—Your dispatch of the elth instant has been received at this office, and I have in relyp to assure your Excellency that her Majesty's Governtant feel the most perfect confidence in the accuracy of your reports; and that nothing which passed in the Chamber of Deputies on the sth instant can in the slightest degree shake the conviction of her Majesty's Government, that the account contained in your dispatch of the 25th of September last, of what had passed in a conversation between yourself and M. Guiaot on that day, was entirely and strictly correct. " I am, &c., (Signed) "PALMERSTON." THE SPANISH MARRIAGES. We announced some days ago that Lord Palmerston would not reply to the last dispatch of M. Guizot. The following is the dispatch in which that determination is announced : " VISCOUNT PASMERSTON 'BO THE MARQUIS OF NORMAYBY. " Foreign-office, Feb. 2, 1847. " My Lord,—With reference to my dispatch of yesterday, informing your Excellency that I have received from the Count de Ste. Aulaire a copy of the dispatch addressed to him by M. Guizot on the 25th ult., I have to instruct your Excellency to state to M. Guizot, that although there are statements and arguments in that dispatch to which, in an earlier state of the discussion between the two Governments, her Majesty's Government might have thought it right to reply ; yet, as her Majesty's Government have now laid be fore Parliament and the public the correspondence which contains a full explanation of the views, opinions, and con duct of the British Government in regard to the mat ter to which that correspondence relates, her Majesty's Govern ment do not consider it necessary to continue the discussion any further; and it is therefore their intention to refrain from making any observations upon M. Guizot's last dis patch. I am, mac. (Signed) " PALMERSTON." In the Spanish Senate, on the Ist inst., the Marquis de Miraflores entered into the following explanations respecting his share in the transactions respecting the marriages which had recently been made public, in the notes of Lord Pal merston and M. Guizot. In the first place, M. Guizot bad stated that the overtures for the marriage of the Infanta with the Duke de Montpen sier had originally proceeded from him, when he was Presi dent of the Council of Ministers, after the fall of the Narvaez Cabinet. fie declared that the statement thus made by M. Guizot was most inexact. No overtures had ever been made by him. He had informed M. Bresson, when speaking to him on the subject of the Trapani marriage, that such an alliance was quite out of the question ; in fact, that it was impossible. And in the course of a private conversation with the French Ambassador, he declared that he did not under stand why the marriage of the Queen and the Infanta should necessarily be solemnized simultaneously. But any conver sation he had with M. Bresson on the subject was entirely of a private and confidential character, never intended to be communicated to any one, much less in an official manner. But in no case whatever were any " overtures" made by him on the subject of the Montpensier marriage. 31. Guizot, then, , w \ !t n s lb c a lu s.,: it a e do i t r ic, c ) o rr u e l c in m dt not th a a k v i e ng such torgo a tt ensttahteement. nature ' o f f he Ftherecnocnh versation, and would, no doubt, testify to the truth of what he (the Marquis de Miraflores) stated. He then adverted to a passage in one of Lord Palmerston's notes to the Marquis of Normanby, to the effect that he (the Marquis de Miraflores) had gone on a mission in July last to Louis Philippe, with the object of induci n g his Majesty to lay aside his objections to the Coburg alliance. This statement of Lord Palmerston had been denied by 31. Guizot, in a dispatch to M. de Jarnac. But he found, in the note of the Bth of January last, addressed to Lord Normanby, this same statement repeated, notwithstanding Guizot's denial ; and, further, that in case h e (the Marquis de Miraflores) succeeded in his mission with the King of the French, he was to proceed direct to London , with the object of communicating with the British Government thereon. He admitted that, as Lord Palmerston said, he bad gone to Paris at the period mentioned. He admitted that he had, as stated, an interview with the King of the French, at ciNemuae Majesty Is] occasions only turned u y ra o inl then eddt 19th lojantst hpae n o ci f os nh J v u e l ry,a affairstb o u n t saonnhdeseveral with hnb hi i sihs marriages. He repeated, he had several such conversations, and was admitted with deference towards himself by the King of the French, who for many years bad so honoured him. But he declared that be was not diplomatically nor officially employed to proceed to Paris on the subject of the Queen's marriage or the Infanta's. He went there, saw the King, and had various conversations with him on Spanish affairs, but never in an official character, and simply as the Marquis de Miraflores.

Alderman COPELAND, before the Court proceeded to the ordinary business, rose to repeat, in the absence of Alderman Humphery the question put by that member at the last Court. It had been moved at a previous Court that a com mittee should be appointed to instruct the Bemembrancer to prepare a Bill for the extension of the franchise as regarded the election of Aldermen and Common Councilmen. 'That motion had been unanimously agreed to, and it was natural to expect that a committee would be accordingly avtointed. There appeared to be, however, no sympton of any committee of the kind. He, therefore, requested to he informed by the Lord Mayor whether it was his Lordship's intention to call a committee upon the subject ? It will be recollected that Alderman Humphery broke up the last Court by counting it out, in consevence of the want of what he considered to be a sualcient explanation. Alderman FA REIM:MUER said, the motion of Alderman Humphery, referred to the election of the Court of Common Council with which the Court of Aldermen had nothieg whatever to do. N,,body knew anything about the Bill which Alderman Humphery was desirous that the Reinem brancer should prepare, and that worthy Alderman ought to be in attendance in his place to put the Court in possession of what lie meant.--(A laugh.) It was to be confessed that the motion if Aldermon Humphery looked like an elec tioneering expedient.— (A laugh.) Alderman COPELAND said he held it to be fair and reason able that when, upon the motion of Alderman Humphery, seconded by himself, that a committee be appointed to take the matter into consideration had been passed, he beieved unanimously, by the Court, the question should be put as to the time of the appointment of such committee. -- The RECORDER said the Lord Mayor did not know why he in particular should be expected to call a meeting of the com mittee on the subject. Alderman COPELAND said he knew that the motion of Alderman Humphery to appoint a committee to bring in a Bill to amend the 11th of George I. had been agreed to re gularly by that Court. It had been stated at the last Court that Alderman Humphery had taken the Court by surprise with the question. Against such a statement he most solemnly protested, and he now called upon the Court to agree with him in calling for the appointment of the com mittee. Sir P. LAURtE—You may call spirits from the vasty deep, but will they come? Sir J. DUKE—Has any one given notice of a motion for rescinding the resolution of the Court for the appointment of a committee? Several voices answered, " Certainly not." Sir J. DUKE—Then it is quite evident the Court was not taken by surprise. Alderman FansnncerirEs—lf a member give notice of one motion and substitute another, what is he to expect? The motion of which Alderman Humpliery gave notice was dif ferent from that which he brought forward. Here the conversation dropped, and the Court proceeded to receive reports for sealing an agreement for purchase of land required for the enclosure of the parish of Brandesbur ton, in Yorkshire, the estate of the city of London, and on the completion of the Commissioners' award for the Brandes burton enclosure, which reports being agreed to, the Court adjourned. LORD GEORGE BENTINCK AND THE '•IRISH PARTY." An important and highly influential meeting of the newly formed Irish party was held on Thursday at their rooms, Par. liament-street, the object for which the meeting was con vened being to take into consideration the course most de sirable to be adopted with reference to the second reacting of Lord George Bentinck's Bill. The attendance was consi, derably larger than at any of the preceding meetings, great interest being felt by all connected with Ireland in the fate of the proposed measure. Amongst those present were Lord Monteagle, Earl of Lucan, Earl of Mountcashel, Lord Bernard, Lo:d Clements. Sir Denham Norreys, Sir Thomas Eamonde, Sir Edmund Hayes, John O'Connell, W. S. O'Brien Daniel O'Connell, jun., Fitzstephen French, G. A. Hamilton, P. S. Butler, Frederick Shaw, Colonel Acton, F. Vesey, Hon. Cecil Law less, John O'Brien, T. Bunbury, Villiers Stuart, James Power, W. H. Gregory, Edward Grogan, R. Chapman, H. M. Tuite, M. Corbally, R. B. Osborne, A. Lefroy, Colonel Bruen, Sir W. 11. Bart on, and H. Grattan. Lord MTEAGLE took the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. Se s - eral members expressed an anxiety that such an ar rangement could be made as would secure the passing of Lord George Bentinck's Bill without impeding the progre's of the measures brought forward by the Government for the relief of Ireland. It being generally known that the Minis ters were determined to resign in case an adverse cote by the House or Commons on their intended amendment to the motion for the second reading of Lord George Bentinck's Bill was come to, a strong feeling was expressed that such an event at this particular crisis should be guarded against, while there was at the same time a great anxiety not to em barrass the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn. After some discussion on the merits of the Bill, and the probable resalt of its being immediately pressed on, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted : "That Lord George Bentinck be requested to postpone to such day as he shall appoint the second reading of the Railway Bill, in order that the discussion on the Bill may not interfere with the progress of measures now before, the ' House, which are of urgent and immediate importance to the famishing poor of Ireland ; and also that time may let given for the expression of public opinion in Ireland upon' the merits of the proposal of Lord George Bentinck." Subsequently a resolution was passed requesting Mr. W. S. O'Brien to wait on Lord George Bentinck and communicate to him the foregoing resolution, with a request that his Lord ship would, if possible, comply with the wishes of the Irish party therein expressed. . Mr. O'Buux assented, and proceeded to the residence of Lord George Bentinck. On returning to the meeting he stated that his reception by the Noble Lord was most cour teous ; that, having placed the resolution in his hands, and stated the feeling of those by whom he was deputed, the Noble Lord explained that his only object in forwarding the Bill through its different stages was to hasten the application of a measure of relief which he conceived to be more appli- cable to the present condition of Ireland than any proposed by the Government. He added that he could give no under taking to postpone the second reading without first obtain ing the concurrence of his immediate supporters; that his own feeling in the matter was, that every day's delay in the application of true and effective measures had the effect of prolonging the sufferings of the people and increasing the horrible mortality that existed in Ireland, while it at the same time rendered necessary the continuance of large, and, so far as future progress was concerned, useless expenditure. Such being the case, he could not himself willingly assume the responsibility of postponing a measure of such import ance for the future welfare of Ireland as that to which the r e s olution of the Irish party referred. It was his anxi e ty t o a m n e d et 'wh if ile po h ss e heldible the wishes of th e I r i s h representatives, himself free, previous to consultation with his friends, from any distinct promise of postponement, he would state that if a postponement were possible it could only d ianndrehpirsesfernietnitd): tthoetilrmanllxoiusoues be at the instance of the Irish Members publicly expressed in the House. 1r 'e understand that an arrangement was made among the members of the Irish party to assume all the responsibility neces sity that existed for allowing the immediate measures of re the lief to take prece.lence of all other business, and in urging wish - that upon and Noble t o uniteL Lord r he would postpone the second reading of his Railway Bill. of del ityh: NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 10.—Very great activity is being dis played in the Dockyard in preparing for another attempt to float. the Sphynx. Pour camels are being prepared for the purpose, and mez,hanics and labourers for the millwrights' department were sent down yesterday to assist in removing as much of her machinery as can be got out. Sanguine hopes are entertained that the next attempt will be success ful. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next are likely to be the highest tides. The Sylvia (tender to the Seaflower) arrived yesterday from Jersey, and sailed on her return thither to-day. The first division of the 56th Regiment arrived to-day by train, and immediately embarked in the Belleisle. The Gypsy tender, which arrived here yesterday afternoon from Sheerness, sailed this morning for Cork, having only called here for a pilot. Woomvicir, FEB. 11.—The Antelope steam-vessel went down the river yesterday on an experimental trip, to ascer tain her speed and the working of her engines. The speed of the vessel was found to be 1241 knots by the common log when the engines were making 28} revolutions per minute, and 11.392 knots when taken at the measured mile in Long reach, the engines making 261 revolutions per minute. The Antelope during the trip was immersed 10 feet 2i inches in the fore part, and 10 feet 10 inches aft., and her engines worked well. It is expected she will proceed to Chatham in a few days. The Odin steam-vessel, Captain Williams, went down the river on Tuesday, it was understood, to have her compasses adjusted, and proceed to Portsmouth to take on board meal for Ireland ; but after reaching Erith, she re turned the same afternoon to Deptford, and is now loading with meal at that port, for the relief of the inhabitants of Ireland. The Medea steam-vessel,Cornmander Mason, went on shore betwixt Plymouth and Falmouth, and was under the neces sity of returning to the former place. The Monkey steam-vessel ordered to proceed to Ports mouth. The completion of the vessels of the provision squadron, fitted at this port, being now effected, the men of the dock yard have resumed work upon the other vessels in progress of building and refitting. Notice has been given, that after the 10th of February inst. no private ship of war, or transport, or other private or mer chant ship or vessel which may receive on board gunpowder before leaving Gravesend, is to draw up opposite that place when proceeding down the river. THE LATE MR. J. TOOLE, THE TOAST-MASTER. —The mortal remains of this well-known festive functionary were last Sunday consigned to their last resting-place, in the Nunhead Cemetery. Those who were accustomed to attend the public dinners of the benevolent societies of the metro polis, the civic dinners of the magistracy, and the hall dinners of the City companies, will not easily forget the part Mr. 'Foote performed on those occasions. He was a sort of feature at those banquets, and not unfrequently were his powers required to assist the chairmen in the preservation of decorum and the regular series of the toasts. With his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge he was an especial favourite, and, as the fugleman of the Duke, he gave the word to fill and empty to the healths proposed with an energy and a character peculiarly his own. He has instructed and formed some good pupils, but none more able to take his place than his eldest son, who, unfortunately, possesses little beyond the talents of his father, and on whom has devolved the duty of supporting an orphan brother and three or p han sisters. It is to be hoped that the public will not be back ward in recognizing the claims of this young man on their support, and that the sympathies of conviviality which his father excited will not evaporate in mere regret for his death. Mr. Toole was the founder of a class of which an efficient member is indispensable at p ublic banquets; a nd no member of that class is more calculated to take his place than his eldest son. A few days since, while a butcher at Boston, Lin colnshire, was cutting up a heifer, to his great surprise he found a sixpence imbedded in the lean of the thickest part of the chine. The sixpence was very black, ut it remains a mystery how it came there, and how long it had been where it Wail fOLUId. FLANDERS MAIL. BILESSF.LE4 FEB. 9 —The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 6th of February, was 29f. 39c., and that of rye 23.. 13e. per hectolitre. These prices are an increase of 30c. on wheat, and a diminution of 18c. per hecto litre on rye. The Chamber of Representatives continued today the general discussion of the projects of law, relative to the clearing of the waste lands. Our forests are nearly exhausted in order to procure the wood requisite in the construction of railways, and we are therefore obliged to have recourse, at a great expense, to other countries. The necessity of substituting for wood some other material which is sufficiently abundant, of like value, and more durable, is generally felt, and has excited the attention of several in ,- elitors. The object seems to have been attained by M. Ales Werotte, who has just obtained a patent for a very simple invention, substituting stone for wood. BERCIN, FEB. 7. The health of the Queen of Prussia continues in a very unsatisfactory state. The following bulletin was issued this morning:— "Her Majesty the Queen has passed a most quiet night, and has enjoyed a few hours' refreshing sleep ; but the critical symptoms still continue, and there is an evident in crease of fever and of oppression on the chest. " Dr. SCHAONBIN, Dr. VOY 'STOSCH, Dr. GRIMIN. " Berlin, Feb. 7,1847, Ten o'clock." RITENISII PROVINCES.—The Cologne Gazette of the 3d says —"Since the change to this comparatively mild weather which has taken place within the last few days, and we are no longer under the apprehension that the river will again be frozen, life and activity animates the Rhine. The bridge of boats with which the workmen have been occu pied for some days, will be open for traffic to-day, and thus the traffic with the opposite shore, which has bees interrupted for some time, will be re-established. The steam navigation companies have likewise already began to work, and many sailing-vessels are lying ready laden. "This increase of work, especially in the buildings, has already ca , sed a change in the aspect of things, and cur poor are again beginning to be in employ. We therefbre confidently hope that the distress, which was in a great measure occa sioned by the want of work, will gradually disappear, and that our fellow•citizens, who have gone through so many privations and hardships, will regain their former home com forts and wasted strength.

W ere a new lean for a large .urn contracted at the present day in the open market, we should expect to see Consols decidedly lower, because, it is the practice of speculators to operate for a fall in these cases, with the view Sf Obtaining a profit upon their tender to Government; encl.-now then upon safe bills at short dates a return of five percent. cau be obtained by our tankers, who are themselves taking in the surplus cash of their customers at 3% per cent., it is not likely that Stock at present prices would attract very eager coin petition. The Chancellor of the Exchequer cau get a loan, we know, but the question arises, will he not have to pay rather onerously for it? In 1842, when the minimum rate of interest at the Bank of England was 1 ,4 per cent, above what it now is, Consols stood at 89, and this too although Exchequer-bills then bore an interest of 24 per centum per diem. That year was somewhat similar to the one upon which we have recently entered, since there was an excess of ex penditure over income, though to a much smaller amount than we are now threatened with. Mr. Spring Rice was no friend to open loans, and, as is well known, resorted to the plan of increasing the unfunded debt. Under proper restriction, and guarded strictly by Parliamentary " curbs,* probably this is the most facile and independent means of rais. in g money for the public service, and if the requirements of Go vernment can be spread over a sufficient period, a gradual issue of bills, and a funding at favourable opportunities, is the course which seems to meet approbation in many quarters. We have before stated under this head the objections that may fairly be urged to this mode, but we can also perceive some counterbalancing advantages. Great interest is manifested for the forthcoming Budget, more particularly as there is an idea that some of the Continental Governments may be coming into the market as borrowers ere long. The advices received to-day from the United States notice an improvement in the exchange, which is rather encourag ing; and, should it continue, it may induce a slackening at least of specie exports from this side of the channel. The amount of specie imported into New York last year was abeut three-quarters of a million of dollars. The Funds have been depressed to-day, and we call them to % lower. The reports of M. Guizot's probable resigns'• non, the weak condition of the Paris Bourse, and the contest between Lord John Russell and the Bentinek party, have all their share in producing this state of things. Consols have been 90% to ij 4 for present transfer, and 90% s 8 for account. Exchequer bills have been marked ss. to Bs. premium. The New 'lhree.and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% V e . Bank Stock is worth 204. The Foreign Bonds have been very dull again. The half monthly account is g ing off easily. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 35 3 j q , being rather flatter. Mexican are 21 3 4 to 22. Spanish Bonds are nominal. The Railway Share Market has been very quiet. Here the fortnightly account is but a small affair. We perceive that the question of allowing interest on calls is likely to be mooted at the next meeting of tho North Staffordshire Railway proprietors, but we think the directors have done right hitherto in not "robbing Peter to pay Paul," and that the line, when completed, will be all the more valuable, because less costly. As many have a difficulty in tracing the couse of this and other new rail ways, we should recommend Tuck's last map as a very sere viceable guide. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.
