BAROMETER, 30.3.—W1ND E., dull. itening Aim 4 LONDON. TUESDAY, FEI3IIII ARY 23, 1847 The House of Lords met at Five. The Brewing from Sugar Bill was read a third time and passed. The third reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was, after a shore discussion, adjourned till to-morrow, (this day), after which their Lord4iips adjourned. At ten minutes to six o'clock, the House of Commons resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then rose to wake the financial statement fur the year, and claimed the indu!gence of the House while he made the statement, which he would make as short as was consistent with clearness. It was many years since a Chancellor of the Exchequer had to repert such heavy demands upon the, Exchequer, but those demands were occasioned by the dearth of food, which was a visitation of PROVIDENCE. Thousands of starving persons in Ire land appealed to this country fur sympathy and assis- tance, and that he could not refuse. Never, however had the finances of the country being so able to bear these demands. For the first time there had been no deficiency bill, and the produce of the revenue had been sufficient to defray the expenses of the State. In the Customs, the produce of every article for the last nine months, had, with the exception of articles on which duties had been reduced, exceeded the estimate. In the Excise, with the exception -of soap, tha same had taken place. By the return of the revenue ending 13th February last, he found an increase of nearly half a mil. lion. But it was not to be expected that such a state of things would continue, an-I after the unexampled prosperity of the last two 3 ears he thought they were on the vcrge of a check. He, however, saw no symptoms of a revulsion, but he merely feared a check, for he thought commercial matters were on a sound basis, and he considered that the measures fur regulating the currency, which, had been passed two years since by Sir R PEEL, had tended to prevent such a revulsion, by placing the currency on a sounder basis, and by inducing investments in works at home instead of in Mississippi stock or Pennsylvanian Bonds. He thought, therefore, that no revulsion would follow, but still the high price of food would tell in the diminution of comforts and the diminution of the consumption of articles of luxury. which were subject to Excise duties. The whole pro duce of Customs and Excise for the last year was 34,500,0701.; of this 5 . 530,000/. was contributed by articles of food, 21,781,0001. of drink, and by tobacco, 4,336,0004; milking 31,653,0001. out of 34,500,0701. This must have diminished in con sequence of the diminution of employment in the manufacturing districts. On the 9th of January, there wore working full time 25,845 persons; short time, 11,851 ; and without work, in consequence of the stop page of mills, 1,690. On the oth February, there were working full time 22,949 persons ; short time, 15,862 ; and out of work, 2,613. The drain of bullion on the Bank had not been so great as might have been ex pected. The amount of bullion was only 1,200,0004 less than it was this time twelve months. The late CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had calculated upon a surplus of 776,0001., the actual surplus was 2,846,000/ including 304,0004 paid as duty on the import of foreign sugar. He now would state what the probable income of the year, from sth April, 1846, to sth April, 1847, would be. Last year the duties on corn produced 793,000/. He could not calculate upon such an amount, still he calculated on some revenue from this source. There had been an increase on the importation of butter, cheese, and silk last year, consequent upon the reduction of duty, and he calculated that this increase would con tinue, and he assumed that the probable revenue from Customs during the next year would be 20,000,0001. During - the present quarter the increase of Customs duties had been 204,0001. Up to January the amount of Excise duties had been 13,988,0001, and he reckoned for the ensuing year an inert. a no of 13,700,000/. The increase on the Excise from the beginning of the quarter had been 106,0004, and in Ireland, extending to January, there had been an increase. He anticipated from Stamps a revenue of 7,500 ; 000/, from Taxes 4,270,000/. from Property-tax 5,390,000/, from the Post office 845,000/., from; Crown Lsnds, 120,0001. from miscellaneous sources of revenue 427,0001.; making a total of ordinary revenue of 52,065,000/. The ex penses u of the interest of the debt and the Consolidated would be 2,679 Fund would be 30,735,0001.; for the army, 6,840,0741.; The Navy vote would be 7,561,0001. ; the Ordnance vote ,1271, being an increase of 135,568/ over as in the case of ?heearitaa great portion of which was due, the vote of last , • Y, to to a deferred vote of last year. The residue was owing increase of I,2oo;men and to putting the ports ki ll' : Ireland, The Bvotest9 fof,ooroelLandT.hwould miscellaneous votes, exclusive of e be 3,750,000/, being an increase of 397 in crease Was owing to the expenses of the poor_h m , aud the prosecution of prisoners, and another portion to the increase of printing and stationery for the Houses of Parliament. The whole of the estimates would amount to 20,851,0771., making the whole ordinary expenditure 51,576,0001. He had purposely omitted in his statement any allusion to grants for the relief of distress in Ireland; and he would now state what he thought would *be required for the distress to be advanced by the Treasury; for:whatever the burden, it would ultimately be thrown upon the landlords of Ireland ; hitherto they had paid nothing, save indeed 393,0001. of poor-rates. It was not easy to state precisely what the expenditure required would be. In four weeks of November the ex penditure had been 383,0001., in December 742,000 L, in January 772,0001. The persons relieved in October were 150,000, in November 285,000, in January 440,000, and in February 571,000. Up to 20th February there had been issued by the Exchequer to Ireland 2,400,0001., 2,000,000/,;had been issued to the Board of Works. The expenditure for the future he expected would not fall below a million a month. lie expected to effect, however a saving by administer ing relief through the medium of the soup kitchens. He expected that many labout era would be taken from the public works by the working of the Bill for the Improvement of Lands, but to work that Bill, it should be remembered that ad• vances were to be made by the Treasury. It would be necessary that relief should continue at least until the next harvest, and for some short period after the harvest, advances would be necessary. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, he could not estimate the advances to be made to Ireland under 8,000,0001., which, including the 2,000,000/. advanced since August, would amount to 10,000,000/. Now, if the 16,000,0001. proposed by the Noble Lord had been advanced to railroads, he did not think it would be possible to have lessened one farthing of this 10,000,000/, and therefore he was rejoiced to see the majority by which that measure had been rejected. Under these circumstances, it was manifest he must, of necessity, go into the market to borrow. The question was, whether he should borrow the whole or only a pert ; by following the latter course, he would considerably reduce the balance in the Exchequer, from which source the advances had hitherto been made. This was a course he was for many reasons unwilling to adopt, and he there fore: thought it more advisable to burrow the whole rather than put any further pressure on the Bank of England, or incapacitate the Government from making advances to the landed proprietors of England and Scotland. Besides, the prospects of the next her vest were uncertain. Hitherto we had been living mainly upon the produce in other countries of the har. vest of 1845. There had been entered for home con sumption 5,388,000 quarters of foreign corn, and he was confident that up to the harvest of 1847 we should have an abundance; but by that time the produce of 1845 and 1846 would be exhausted, and we should be dependent upon the pro duce of the harvest of 1847. The large surplus in the Exchequer had alone hitherto enabled them to make the necessary advances, and he felt that it would be most imprudent to lessen that surplus more than was absolutely necessary. Therefore the wiser course was to borrow the money. It would not be a permanent debt, because a considerable portion was to be repaid out of the property of Ireland.—(A laugh.) The next question was, whether the loan ought to be accompanied by increased taxation. He was unwilling to add this amount tothe debt without takingmeans forits extinction, but he thought that during the present year it would be imprudent to attempt any change in taxa tion. The present year was an exception to all others. If we had a good harvest there would be no necessity for further advances, if it should be bad it would be necessary to make a further demand on the country for the assistance of Ireland, and there fore he thought it better to postpone the question of the imposition of additional taxation. Besides, next year it would be necessary to deal with the Income-tax, and it would be unwise to attempt to prejudge in what manner Parliament—a new Parliament perhaps—might chose to Leal with the Income-tax, he therefore thought it best to leave the whole question open till next session. He calculated on a surplus of 489,0001. of ordinary revenue over expenditure. He calculated he could borrow the 8,000,0001. at three and half per cent., the interest of which would be 280,0004 but then, he calculated he should have to raise the interest of Exchequer-bills. The interest at present was lid. a day, and he proposed to raise it to 2d., which would amount to 142,000/. ; giving an in crease of interest of 422,0001.; making the total ordinary expenditure 51,998,000/. ; leaving a surplus of 67,0001. From Chinese money she next year he should receive 450,0001., but against this he must place an extraordinary expenditure of 185,000/. to cover the excess of naval ex penditure of the year ending sth April last. The total of income, therefore, would be 52,515,000 L ; the total of expenditure 52,183,0001., leaving a surplus . of 332,000/ This, he adm . tted, was not a satisfactory statement of income and expenditure, but he had stated the reason why he thought it not advisable to make permanent provision for the liquidation of the loan during the pre sent year ; but the country must be prepared next year; should the necessity arise f i r an increase of its burdens, to bring the revenue up to the level of the expenditure. It was evident that he could ill spare any revenue this year, and this must be an answer to them who proposed a remission of duties on various articles. He had been asked if he intended to propose any annual duties instead of the sugar duties. It was not his intention to do so during this session, as in the course of next year, at all events, they must reconsider the Income-tax. He regrett-d exceedingly this interruption to the course of com• mercial policy, which had been pursued during the last four years. It was true he bad opposed the Income-tax, but it had entirely changed its character when it bad been made the means of introducing those changes in our commercial policy which had.been introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite ; as a proof of which he would mention the quantities of various articles of food entered for home consumption during the years fol lowing 1813. Of coffee, there was entered for home consumption, in the year 1813, 30,000,000 lbs. 1844, 31,391,000 lbs.; 1845, 34,318,000 lbs. ; 1846, 36,781,000 lbs. Of butter, in 1843, there was entered for home consumption, 148,000 cwt. ; in 1844, 180,000 cwt. ; in 1845, 240,0 )0 cwt. ; and in 1846, 255,000 cwt. Of cheese, the quantity entered for home consumption in 1843, was 166,000 cwt. ; 1844, 211,000 cwt. ; 1845, 258,000 cwt. ; 1846, 327,000 cwt.; and yet he bad not heard that the farmers of Cheshire had been ruined. Of currants, in 1843, there was imported, 234,000 cwt.; 1814,.235,000 cwt. ; 1845, 309,000 cwt. ; 1846, 359,000 cwt. Of sugar ; 1843, 4,037,000 cwt; 1844, 4,139,000 cwt. ; 1845, 4,880,000 cwt. ; 1846, 5,231,000. On all these articles the duties had been detreased. On tea it had remained the same, et the quantity entered for home consumption had increased ; in 1843, it had been 40,300,000 lbs. ; 1844, 41,369,000 lbs. ; 1845, 44,183,000 lbs. ; 1846, 46,728,000 lbs. He felt it his duty to bear this testimony to the success of the policy of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He concluded by proposing pro forma a grant of 8,000,000/. out of the consolidated fund. The Right lion. Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. HUME objected to, voting these grants to Ireland until they were assured that the Poor-law Bill would pass. He was also disappointed at finding that the commercial policy of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite was not carried out, by devoting the surplus revenue to carrying out that policy, and by providing for the extraordinary ex penditure of Ireland by extraordinary means. lie was surprised to hear what the Right Honourable Gentleman said about not extending taxation. There might be no necessity for taxing England, but let Ireland be taxed as England was. He would extend equality to Ireland in everything, in taxation as well as the rest. He reminded them that next year they would have to raise the Incorne•tax to 10 per cent. Mr. WILLIAMS considered the statement of the Right Hon. Member most unsatisfactory. He objected to the large increase in the navy, army, and ordnance estimates With regard to the loan, he would much prefer seeing the Government giving a higher rate of interest and borrowing at par, to borrowing below par at a lower rate of interest. Mr. ROEBUCK said that, looking to the manner in which the "Irish party" bad banded themselves toge ther against the introduction of an efficient poor-law in Ireland, he trusted that the Houses would not consent to any loan of 10,000,000/. for Ireland until they had obtained security that the property of Ireland should maintain the poor of Ireland. It was the duty of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to impose an income tax upon Ireland, and be- would himself propose the extension of the property-tax to Ireland. Lord JOIIN RUSSELL said it would be neither wise nor just in the present circumstances of Ireland, to impose the Income-tax on that country. Ho defendtd the esti mates brought forward by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, and stated that they dad been prepared with the greatest regard to economy. The Noble Lord, on resuming his seat was loudly cheered. The House was subsequently addressed by Lord G. BENTINCK, Mr. SHAW, Mr. GOULBUBN, Mr. VERNON SMITH, and several other Honourable Members. The resolution Was then agreed to, anti the House re sumed. Several Bills were advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. Eight millions to be granted for the relicf of Ire land is the paramount feature in the financial state ment of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Considering the embarrassments consequent upon the appalling destitution in Ireland and in various districts of Scotland, taking into account the vast addition of expense resulting from that destitution, the extraordinary deficiency of pro visions, not only in the United Kingdoms, hut in France, Germany, and Poland, and the diminution of wages in our manufactories, the speech of Sir CHARLES WOOD is singularly satisfactory. Although the Right Hon. Baronet requested the lenient consideration of the House, because of the indisposition from which he was a sufferer, and because, likewise, of the almost unprecedented demands which it was his duty to make upon the Legislature, there was little reason for either apology or indulgence. Possibly the statement delivered upon the Budget last evening may be regarded as the most lucid speech yet uttered in the House of Commons by Sir CHARLES WOOD. In the arrangement of his materials, in the enunciation of the different amounts constituting the national revenue, and the numerous charges (usual and unusual) upon the Exchequer, the Right Honourable Gentleman evinced very re markable capacity, and reduced these complicated calculations to the comprehension of the most medi ocre understanding. In so much was the lucidity of Sir CHARLES WOOD manifest, as to have elicited the cordial commendation of Mr. GOULBURN and the re peatedan to enterplauseof upon any synopsis the Membersosis generally. It were un necessary or analysis of the particular financial statement submitted to Par. liament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; it were unnecessary, from the elaboration of the Parliamen tary reports and Parliamentary summary, and es pecially unnecessary because the gist of that state ment may be expressed in the compass of a few syl lables. Contrary to the expectations of the multitude the estimates made by Sir CHARLES WooD, as to the balance of our national accounts on the close of the year ending sth of April, 1848, are propitious and consolatory. Notwithstanding the remarkable abate ment of our manufacturing industry, in consequence of the scarcity of food both at home and on the con tinent; notwithstanding the certain injury which must result to the revenue from the diminished con sumption and the enormous drain of 10,000,0001. for the assistance of Ireland, it is calculated by the Right Hon. Baronet that there will still remain a surplus of 332,0001. over and above the total expen ditures. As compared with the surplus of the year ending sth April, 1847—a splendid surplus, reach ing no less a sum than 9,ooo,oool.—that anticipated for the forthcoming twelve months is insignificant enough. But, bearing in recollection the lamentable condition of Ireland and of the northern portions of Great Britain, the circumstance of there being any surplus whatever is matter for earnest gratulation. What is particularly remarkable in the Budget for 1847 is the fact of there being no additional taxation. Under existing calamities this is an unex pected and thrice-welcome announcement. Taking the entire surplus for the ensuing year at 489,0001., it is proposed to burden the community by borrow ing no less an amount than 8,000,0001. for the relief of Ireland. Borrowed at three and a half per cent., the interest upon these 8,000,0001. will amount to 280,0001., and the inevitable consequence of this loan must be the advance of interest upon Exchequer-bills from lid. to 21. per diem, making an additional sum of 142,0001. Upon the proposed debt of 8,000,0001. the entire interest for the year will be 422,0001., which, subtracted from the expected excess upon the balance sheet, would reduce the surplus upon the financialyear to 67,0001. Now, the residue of the Chinese silver, con sisting of 450,0001., will, on the abstraction of 185,0001. for our increased naval expenditure, raise the surplus for the sth April, 1848, from 67,0001. to not less than 332,0001.—an amount beyond the most sanguine expectations of the most. hopeful observer. It will therefore have devolved upon the empire to sustain the terrible visitation at present scourging the sister island, to the enormous extent of 10,000,0001., of which 2,000,000/. have been ad vanced and distributed. In this balancing of the boun ties and the economy of the nation the Government has displayed a sagacity proportioned to its courage in dealing with so many enormous difficulties. If the Ministry are in no manner prepared to diminish the taxes still imposed upon the people by precipi tating the extension of the principles of free trade, they cannot at least be regarded as imitalores ser vant pecus in respect to the increase of taxation for the payment of the interest upon a loan of actually 10,000,0001. It is insinuated that the landlords of Ireland will exhibit no readiness to repay even a moiety of this magnificent assistance, that they will grudge the restitution of even 4,000,0001. out of the eight which still remain to be advanced. The insinuation gained some colouring of probability from the merriment expressed by the Hon. Gen tlemen of the House of Commons on the allusion to that repayment uttered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Whatever may be the actual sentiments of the landlords of Ireland on this point, we can assure them as one of - t h e Voices of the People, that the nation will ne ver submit to such a sublime act of swindling, its supposing they had the temerity to at tempt perpetration. England is evincing a n o bl e — a generosity proportioned b ot h to t h e me singe n r ts of her wealth and the vastn ess o f h er g magnitude t d y e present troubles ; but let it never be forgotten by those who would impose upon her generosity and batten upon her benevolence, that her security is the rigour of her determinatien. The attention of the House of Commons was last night directed by Mr. E. ELLICE to the extraordi nary destitution unfortunately existing in the Western Highlands of Scotland. No time could more properly have been selected by the Hon. Member for that purpose than that immediately preceding the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Exche quer, when the extraordinary exertions of the Go vernment on behalf of the Irish people, and the mode of providing for the gigantic outlay thereby rendered necessary, was about to be detailed by the Minister whose especial duty it was to provide the necessary funds and to regulate the income and expenditure of the country. The primary cause of the distress in both Ireland and part of Scotland is the same ; we have in both countries a large and crowded popula tion, whose usual and accustomed article of food, that constituting, if not the sole, by far the largest portion of their ordinary diet, has been destroyed, and swept away by the mysterious visitation of PEOTIDENCE. In both cases, we find the crops, on which the fami lies of the poor cottiers were fed, decaying and rot ting in the earth, so as not to be worth the trouble and expenditure of digging them from the soil, and the visitation borne with extraordinary patience and resignation by the unhappy .sufferers, who, on the total failure of their own resources, were driven to seek from others that maintenance with which they were unable to supply themselves or families ; but here the comparison ends, for in Scot land we find the landed proprietors, or at least the great majority, availing themselves of every means to provide for the poor of their respective estates, casting themselves into the breach with a noble devotion, and resolving that, so long as any means were left to them, so long as by any sacrifices on their own part they could be enabled to do so, they would continue to afford that support and maintenance This generous, humane, and Christian conduct is worthy of something more than the praise that cannot be withheld from it. The Highland land owners have set their own shoulders to the wheel—. they have relied on their own exertions, and have enoonttbemeen disappointed. By these eff orts the y have someaaresurroundedChristiancountry, of s° the u i all the applian ces o f we alth, and the comforts and luxuries thereby to o bt a i n able—and.so c d t i b sg y ra c c o e h f d u u l eth the as localities in whi c h su ch harrowing and fearful scenes regret e r g e r suffered e t to fsr aoyn: tott that a eScottish t take a lik like p place—havercaojases tws coasts- Ireland, we been averted, a n d banished not been pursued by the majority. True it is that many, very many, landlords have actt.'d in a manner beyond all praise, and have entitled thentoelves to the marked thanks of She community at largel awl better still to the proud consciousness of having performed the arduous duties imposed upon them, but such, un fortunately, cannot be said of the general body. Whatever may have been the exciting cause, whether the debts and encumbrances affecting their properties, that cramped their energies, and fettered and re strained their action, the Irish people were suffered to fall into a state of suffering and destitution hap pily unknown in Scotland to anything like the same extent, until the cry of affliction and distress re verberated on the air throughout the length and breadth of unhappy. and afflicted Ireland—and this notwithstanding the extraordinary power afforded to her people by the Labour•rate Act, and the vast sums drawn by means thereof from the national Ex chequer for the relief and mitigation of the distress in that country. We do not desire to be understood as deprecating the aid that has been already afforded, or is about to be given to Ireland. We do not regret that the sum of ten millions should be advanced to ward off, as far as possible, all future mortality, and to provide for the wants of her people. We do not object to the prin ciple that the calamity should be considered a national one, and a moiety of the expenditure should be borne by the State and defrayed from the national purse. But, if from similar causes great burdens have fallen on the proprietors in the distressed districts of Scot land, we think that a like rule should be observed, that the calamity should in like manner be considered a national one, and that a portion of the expenditure should be defrayed by the State. It is not because the Scotch proprietors have well and nobly dis charged their duty, that they should be deserted by the Executive ; on the contrary, it is for that very reason that every possible aid should be afforded and the greatest assistance rendered. A just precedent has been afforded by what has taken place in the cases of the Irish landlords who apldied for present ments under Mr. LABOUCHERE'S letter, and for whom the time of repayment was extended to twenty-two years, in place of ten; as it was justly considered that they should not be placed in a worse footing than those who hung back, and did not exhibit the same promptitude on behalf of their dependents and neighbours. Had the Scotch landlords been negligent or exhibited less self-devotion, they would have been aided by public loans and grants, having acted in a more correct and proper manner, that aid should not be withheld from them, and the con templated measures for Ireland should be extended to all parts of the United Kingdom visited with similar affliction, and where the people are suffering under a deprivation of their accustomed food or means of We have received news from Oporto to the 13th . Since the death of MACDONNELL the Miguelites have everywhere joined the Septembristas. Count DAS ANTAS had marched from Oporto to attack CASAL, and another division of the insurgents, under Baron FERNOS had marched in the direction of Barca d'Alva, and CJESAR VASCONCELLES, at the head of 2,500 men, was at Pennafiel, prepared to dispute the passage of the Douro with SALDANEA. This force had been joined by 800 Miguelites under BERNARDINO. The remains of MACDONNELL'S band have joined DA ANTAS. MENDEZ LEITE, a Septernbrista officer, at the head of 300 insurgents, had surprised SALDANEA'S depot of arms at Averro (which is within the lines occupied by SALDANIIA'S army, and only eight miles from: his head quarters), and had captured 230 stand of arms, a quan tity of ammunition, a considerable sum of money, and several prisoners.

The trial of the National for publishing a libel re flecting on the KING took place on Saturday, and ended in the acquittal of the National. The libel was con tained in lin article commenting on the removal of the French Consul from the,Mauritius, and it concluded by declaring that the KING alone directed the whole policy of the state. This libel the counsel for the Nationai justified, and quoted from the speeches of successive Ministers for the purpose of proving the direct and per sonal interference of the KING in various affairs of st•ite, stigmatising such interference as unconstitutional. The jury, after deliberating a quarter of an hour, brought in a verdict of acquittal. This is the severest blow that the system has yet received, and is tantamount to a censure , on the KING. The Presse continues its personal attacks upon Lord NORMANDY. It is now confessed that M. GUIZOT in tended by what he said in the Chamber to offer a per sonal insult to the British Ambassador. The fact is, M. GUIZOT is endeavouring to play the same game that be played as French Ambassador in London in 1840, to intrigue with English parties or rather partizans for a change of Ministry,so as to secure eitherafaineant Foreign Secretary, whom ho can bamboozle, or a worse than faineant, who will aid him in carrying his project of securing Orleans domination on the Continent and in the Mediterranean. This intrigue, however, will not succeed, and the fact that any English Minister held office as the nominee of GUIZOT, or of Louis PHILIPPE, would be alone sufficient to secure his downfal. M. MARTIN (du Nord) has resigned his Ministry of Justice, on account of the precarious state of his health, It is reported M.M. LACAVE-LAPLAGNE and CUNIN GRIDAINE were also about to leave the Cabinet.

COCHRANE AND THE ELEC TORS OF WESTMINSTER. In The Sun of Saturday, Feb. 13, the following letter from a correspondent was inserted : COCHRANE AND TFIE ELECTORS OF WESI MINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN. Sir,—As an elector of Westminster allow me to ask, whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane, who now so ostentatiously parades his pretensions to represent Westminster, 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 Ire 'land, and who then paraded a series of adventures in various towns ond 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 Weat 7minster ought to know it. If not, Mr. Cochrane cannot too ;soon disown the ider.tity.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, St. James's, Feb. It. ALPHA. [We cannot answer this query. Doubtless Mr. Cochrane Sun.] On Monday, Feb. 15th, appeared a letter from another correspondent, as follows: WESTMINSTER ELECTION. TO TILE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Sir,—A correspondent in your excellently-conducted journal asks, " Who is Mr. Cochrane, the present candidate for the representation of 'Westminster?" "Is he the same Mr. Cochrane who, some years since, traveled through the country as a Spanish minstrel ?"' "Is he the party who published a descriptive account of his wanderings through Bent and Sussex ?" These questions require a straight forward answer, since it must not be borne, it must not be i tolerated, that tho large and influential city of Westminster shall be represented by a person who, in the di guise of a 'travelling musician, succeeded, in many instances, alas! too many instances, in insinuating himself into private fa milies, and, afterwards exposed the flirtation of sundry misses, souse in their teens, and others approaching that question able age when ladies begin to think they are forgotten by the sterner portion pf the sex. I do not state that Mr. Cochrane is the man who thus acted; I do not aver that be is the individual who published sundry amours in his book, which he pretended took place at Canterbury, Dover, Has tings, and Brighton; I can scarcely believe that a man who could betray the confidence of any female, after having been fed and pampered to satiety by her friends, and supplied with money, believing the said individual to be in the co n dition 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 alludes ' to." My reply is, do not take Mr. Cochrane's word for his in nocence. Iknew the wandering minstrel—the poor amiable young man who had been driven from friends and home, owing to political disturbances in his own country—l have seen him often, but not since he gathered silver and gold from those who pitied his pretended misfortune—from those who fostered the viper, who felt for and sympathised with him in his assumed distressed condition, and I might be able to identify him ; yet, there is a probability of clearing up the point beyond the passibility of doubt. The minstrel's work was printed by Mr. Brettel, of Rupert-street, Haymarket ; and I have reason to know that that gentleman is perfectly acquainted with the person of Mr. Cochrane, and can, there fore, without difficulty, set the matter at rest, and thus ease the minds of many parties who have promised Mr. Cochrane their support, but who would at once withdraw it if Mr. Cochrane can be identified as the wandering minstrel. Allow me to add, that, for years, Mr. Brettel has taken a very prominent part in the Westminster election; he is a Liberal too; and would, no doubt, not only for the credit of the House of Commons, but for the honour and reputation of 1 Westminster, set the matter at rest. 1 _ I am, Sir, faithfully yours, J. W. Fleet- street. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, another corresponden thus wrote : MR. COCHRANE AND THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. 110 ME EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—ls Mr. Cochrane the same person as "Don Juan de Vega," or is he not ? If ha 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 confide in any such wander ing personator. If he be not Juan de Vega, then why not disown it ? Let Mr. Cochrane beware, if he be the fraudulent Spanish refugee that Juan de Vega pretended to be, that he does not meet such an expose as he well deserves, if identical with that vagabond.—Yours, an Elector, J. C. Feb. 16, 1847. On Friday, the 19th, we inserted another letter in the following words : MR. COCHRANE AND THE ELECTORS OF WEST. MINSTER. TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—My attention has been directed to the inquiries con tained in your paper, relative to the identity of Mr. Coch rane, the present candidate for Westminster, with one JUAN DE VEGA, who some years back travelled through some parts of England, professing to be a Spanish refugee, and then published adventures of a most immoral kind as the account of his travels. I remember a person calling himself Don Juan de Vega soliciting charity . in this town, not for himself only, but for his fellow Spanish refugees. He carne - as a Spanish peasant ; a large slouched straw bat, and open vest, a mantilla 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 this town, where he professed to be a Quaker, and attended the Friends' Meeting House ; was fed, clothed, and had money given to him in no small quantity; and yet was afterwards, by his own published adventures, found to be an imposter, a hypocrite, and a scoundrel. He endeavoured to sedu , :e every girl he could come near, and those whom be could not ruin in person, he sought to lower in character, by imputing in print the actions of charitable feeling to the prompting:- of the most unchaste passion. I know, and could identify the man. Ido 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 meetings of charity, dances with the daughters of the Goverbor 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 Dr. Leifchild and Mr. B. B. Cabbell—l 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, oon vince myself. If Juan de Vega be Mr. Cochrane, I will de nounce him, and the " Tallow-chandler and Grocer," whom he so described, and whose hospitality he abu , ed, shall shame him from the Westminster hustings.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, D. 11; Brighton, Feb. 17, 1847.

If Mr. COCHRANE be not Senor JUAN DE VEGA—if we have, even by implication, said one word to his then undeserved disparagement—we are ready and willing to apologise most amply and most unreservedly, But if he be Don JUAN DE VEGA, and we put the ques tion fairly to him, whether he be so,—if he be the author of a work in two volumes, containing an account of his adventures, then not one word of recantation, but many of bitter indignation, shall appear in The Sun. We challenged inquiry into the identity of Don JUAN DE VEGA, and the candidate for the suffrages of the electors of 'Westmin ster—we are answered by threats. We laugh at threats such as these, and we know little of the electors of Westminster if any candidate can gain their favour by attempting to put down inquiries into who or what he is. Let Mr. COCHRANE state a parentage, a conduct in life, and a character such as may recommend him to the electors of Westminster; but let him beware of the reputation which must always attach to JUAN DE VEGA. Our answer to Mr. COCHRANE'S threats is a very short query—Are you, Mr. COCHRANE, the writer of two volumes, detailing the adventures of JUAN DR VEGA; and are you that personage ?—Aye or no. Upon your answer our course depends. HEALTH OF THE QUEEN OF PRUSSIA.--BERLIN, Fzn. 16.—Her Majesty the Queen has slept quietly diving the greater part of the night ; in the morning the cough is less freqnent, and only a slight excitement of pulse is per ceptible. DESTITUTION OF THE METROPOLIS —Upwards Of 60,000 persons are now,inrnates of the ll, , ndon workh,wes; 60,000 are receiving out door relief; and from 1,400 to 2,000 nightly sheltered iu the refuges for the houseless, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales 5,000 bales, including 500 for export, and 500 on speculation ; 4,500 bales were American, and realised bid to 7 3 %d per lb; 200 Egyptian, 7 1 / i d to 9d; and 200 Surat, 4%d per lb. The market closed rather firmer. Shares had been rather dull. The details of the Budget are so fully given and corn' mented upon in another column of The Sun, that it is un necessary to recapitulate them here, and we may merely remark that they are considered to be quite as favourable as could, under the circumstances, have been anticipitated, and that although the Chancellor of the Exchequer has deter mined upon an open loan in preference to a tunding of Ex chequer-bills, the advantages and demerits of which policy we have already pointed out under this head, the limitation of the amount to be raised to eight millions will serve to render the operation much less onerous. than it would have been, and more especially if the instalments be judiciously extended over a given period. To arrange these preliminaries the city capitalists will meet Lord John Russell and Mr. Wood On Thursday next, as shown in a communication in smother part of 'The Sun, which was read in the Stock Exchange this morning. The new loan can hardly be expected to come out so well as the Cana . I .a debentures did, because money is now much scarcer; and if par should be given for Three-and-a-Half per Cent., this would hardly correspond with the rates now current in the market. Capitalists now will be look ing probably for about 3% per cent. in the funds, and of course the loan will come out in pro portion. Possibly for every 1001. stock, biddings, varying from 109 up to 112 may be made, but of course we are now merely giving the on Bits of the day. The I\ ew Exchequer-bills to be dated March 16, 1847 are to be raised to 2d. per diem, as advertised in another column. The Stock market is rather unsettled, and prices have re ceded about per cent. This is the natural effect of the nny loan. Consols are 90% % for present transfer,_ LOU have been 9014 % for the Account to b e arra nged ex Thursday, and of which it may puzzle many to predict the result. Exchequer-bills have risen to 10s. and 14s. prem• Bank Stock is not higher than 203 to 14. The Foreign Bonds are quite neglected. Portuguese Four per Cents. are heavy at 34. The accounts from Lisbon are not very favourable. Mexican Bonds have receded to 22% and 21%. Railway Shares have been rather firm again. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

The Court was engaged this morning in trying an issu e " directed from the Court of Chancery, r e lati n g t o a partn er t . ship transaction. The case was of no public interest WW I ever. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THIS DAY. ed The February adjourned session for the county commenced this morning, at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, bef ° ' the Assistant-Judge and a bench of magistrates. . 1 1d The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in charging the grad jury, said, in allusion to the means re s o r ted t o for the 1 :: formation of juvenile offenders, that he had visited Pa 1 .,% hurst prison since the last sessions, and the re be f o und system quite unsuited to the end, in his opinion. The diOe.ril pline did not treat children as children and adopt the spie, of rewards to childish capacities. At Parkhurst there VI A plenty of work and plenty of books, but no pl a y, and the al adage was but too true, that " All work and no play Ma i , Jack a bad boy." It was not enough to tell those poor dren they would by good behaviour in p r i s on p r obably 13e '' come respectable men in their old age, tb e i should, as the reward of good conduct, enil some privileges which they could understand as children, el l „ even a game of cricket might not b e t oo great a l ux ury ,°: stimulating them. At present a child o f t en y ears old, lob stealing a penny-worth, must be sent to the same pris °l3 / and subject to the same discipli ne , as th e h ar d ene d felor of 40 or 50. But perhaps the greatest evil of the exist/ system was throwing th e res p ons ibilit y o f support i ng 0 0 children upon the State. When the child was convicted, t l . l° father was released f rom a ll ex p ense on hi s accoun t ; but; 11 I,a his (the Assistant Judge's) opinion, the child's parish sliskt?l, be made responsible for his support, while the parocil authorities should have the same power to compel the pal i , to pay back the amount thus expended as they had to na il him pay for the support of his family under the ordinary case of desertion or otherwise. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY-) Edward Crawshaw, a gentleamaenaroefdmin weiliatnasryrto a a appearanc e ' vin r n e ,o si o d 3 h c ig ha i r n gitg St., him mbawnih committing s c place an assault upon Jur., appeared Adam Clarke, post-office-keeper, 132, Jermyn-street. Complainant stated that, about three o'clock yesterdill afternoon, the defendant came into hie shop for the purpol of posting three letters. Whilst the young lady in the bop was giving him change, a dog ran into complainant's V I 'd lour, and began to wormy a cat. He took up an umbrella an drove the animal out of the room. The defendant then fe di a cane which he had in his hand, and began to belabour 2 , 1 ; (the complainant) mos t unmerc if u ll y across the s houlder' 11 eventually got away, and ran into the parlour. The complainant would not press the case if defentl e e n ! would make an apol og y i n th e p u bli c cour t, an d g ive $ reign to the distressed Irish. Defendant, in a contemptuous manner, said he should 04 make an apology to such a man. lIINGHAm said it was a case that ought to be s ent u t fs the Quarter Sessions, but as it would cause additional tr olly _ _ to complainant, he would fine defendant 51. The defendant, as he was leaving the court, threate ned be . complainant, when Mr. Bingham called him back, an d sides the fine of 51. called upon him to enter into his oval cognizances of 1001., and two sureties of 100/. each, to keer • the peace for six months.
