[FURTHER PARTICULARS.]

Lord COCH RANE was detained some time in one
of the Committee Rooms of the House of Com-
mons,. after he was removed from the body of the
House. Ifew-as, its we before stated, much agitat ed
at-first, but in a short tune recovered his spirits, and
was even jocular. When he was asked whyhe had
taken the /extraordinary step of appearing, in the
House of Commons, he replied, that he deemed it his
course, as he had to complain of a grievance which
materiallyaffected that branch, of the Legislature.
Bei'ng. asked why he had provided himself with
such a quantity of snuff, he said, he had bought a
cannister, for the purpose of throwing it in the
eyes of those who might attempt to secure him,
unless the opposing force should be too strong
for resistance, observing that he had found the
use of • a similar• weapon of defence when
he was in the\ Bay of Rozas, as he had
thrown a mixture of , lime, sand, etc. upon the
Frenchmen ‘t ho attempted to board his ship, and
found it effectual. He declared, that if he had
thought to come forward in a voluntary man-
ner, it would have been impossible for• the Po-
lice Officers to halve discovered him. In the
course of convers•Ation, he endeavoured to excul-
pate himself on the subject of the Stock Exchange
manoeuvre, alledging that his Uncle had not ap-
prized •him of the circumstances of the intended
plan ; for if he had, he declared that he himself
would have had nothing• to do 'with it. He oh-
sert'ed that he Could tell many things unfavourable
to his Uncle, but he forebore to do so on account
Of his Daughter (his Uncle's), whom he described
as a most amiable young Lady ; while he spoke •of
her- he displayed great emotion, but soon after
recovered his spirits, and not
.pursuing the con-
versation he sat down coolly in a chair, and kept
writing a letter• till he was removed to the King's
Bench Prison. During the whole of this conver-
sation, except in the instances which we have no-
ticed, his mind, appeared to.be perfectly collected,
nor..was there the least reason to infer any degree
of mental derangement.
• The following further particulars arc contained
in a Morning Paper :
A variety of reports are in circulation, but
we are assured that. his Lordship, up to a late
hour last night, had not communicated to those
about him further than as follows :

“. lie considered himself an ill-used man ; that
he ought not ',lO have been sent to prison ;Coch-
rane 'Johnstone had. robbed ,him of 40001.: that
he went to•the House ,of Commons to 'have the
question again agitated ; never had a thought
of leaving England :
,had been all the while in
Loudon.

The above statements of his Lordship, were
answers to questions put to him ; but he declined,
we understand, to enter into any narrative of the
motive's of his late conduct. h is strongly sus-
pected his Lordship's mind has been affected by
the late proceedings, and that all his conduct of
late has been the result of insanity, He is at

9rescnt confided in' tiiv the E 'li.- '3
'Bench prison.

" For some days past the Marshal of the Bench
had, as we are informed, strong reason to believe
the,. his Ltadship,intended to re-enter the prison
ag secretly as he-broke ont of it. Precautions,
hOwever. were•taken to frustrate. this intention.
It is further said, that the' PoliCe Ogicers were
aware that his Lordship was it) London, and hart
frequently been able ,to trace him even within a
few yards of the place .where he was supposed.at
the -time to he..

" Some convers'ation,.took place in the. House
on this extraordinau:occurrence above detAiied,
arhi.ch our Reader., Vvill find in'our Report of the
Parliamentary Proceedings. The!business, as far
as relates to the Prk. loges Of. Parliament, is.re-
terred to the. Commit fee (f Privileges."
