OF WESTMINSTER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—ls Mr. Cochrane the same person as " Don Juan de
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 confide in any such wander-
ing personator. If he be not Juan de Vega, then why not
disown it? Lst 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.

NEW ZEALAND.
The barque Cecilia, Captain Pearce, with a full cargo of
contract Kauri spars, and a small quantity of copper ore,
arrived at Plymouth on the 13th inst., from Auckland, New
Zealand. The native chief Heki, who ;formerly disturbed
the northern colony, continues quiet, and appears likely to
remain so. In the south the vigorous measures of Governor
Grey have completely suppressed the rebellious efforts of
Kangbieta, whose brother was taken prisoner in Cook's
Straits, and has been executed, after an investigation which
proved his participation in the late disturbances on the river
Hutt. The course pursued by the new colonial Government
at Wellington gives entire satisfaction.
Her Majesty's brig Childers, 12, Commander John C. Pit-
man, arrived at Auckland from the Cape of Good Hope and
Hobart-tows on the 18th of October. Her Majesty's frigate
Castor, 36. Captain Graham, arrived the same day from
Sydney. Her Majesty's steam.frigate Driver, Captain Cour-
tenay 0. Hayes, was signalled outside the harbour on the
20th, probably from Wellington. Her Majesty's frigate Cal-
hope. 26, Captain Edward Stanley, was at Wellington. The
Cecilia left on the 19th of October, and brings passengers
Captain llowett and lady, of the barque Mary Katherine,
stranded on the river Kaiapara, and Mr. Nattrass, from Nel-
son. The ship Haidee, Capt. Marshall, loading with spars,
was to sail for England direct on the Ist of November; and
