Mr. Cochrane Johnstone cannot conclude without
observing, that the conduct of the Sub-Committee
clearly appears to him to have been highly reprehen-
sible in almost the whole of their proceedings; that
they appear studiously to have sought for grounds of
charge in alt quarters and corners against himself and
his friends, and as studiously to have avoided a con.
tact with every thing likely to lead them to the truth;
that they appear to have been actuated, from the be.
ginning to the end, by a spirit of partiality and ma-
levolence; and be sincerely hors, that it is not
amongst the smallest of their misrepresentations, that
they had, upon this occasion, the voluntary assist-
ance of his Majesty's Government.

To the above statement, exclusive of the affidavit
published in vindication of fiord Cochrane; there are
annexed six others :—C. Berry, of Sweeting's-alley,
swears, that whilst Mr. Butt had his office at his
shop, Mr. Butt and Mr. C., Johnstone were con-
I staidly there by half-past nine or ten o'clock; so
that there was nothing singular in their being in the
liCity by ten on the 21st February.—W. Gibson, of
Shorter's-court, swears, that whilst Mr. Fearn had
his office
at his shop, the parties in question were
frequently there at the above hours.—T. Christmas,
Clerk to Mr. Feartt, states, that any hesitation ma-
nifested by him in answering the questions put by the
I Sub-Committee of the Stock Exchange arose entirety
from timidity at being so suddenly and unexpectedly
called upon, not being 17 years of age ; and that he
had not concealed from them, nor ever been desired
to conceal, his having changed notes for Mr. Butt.—
' Mr. R. Butler,of Cheapside, swears, that on the 19th
gilt. at Mr. Feara's Office he saw Mr. Butt give
change to some person there, who had requested it
'ln small notes fern large one.—W. Adams, a hack-
Ine) •-
coachman, deposes, that for eight days (Sunday
I
lexcepted) previous to the 21st ult. he had been ep.
gaged to carry Mr. C: Johnstone at nine in the
morning, from No, 'lB, Great dumberland-street,
to the Royal Exchange, and that on the above day
there were two Gentlemen in the coach with ?ACV.
J. one of whom-(Lord Cochrane) he .had put-do Wit
at the bottom of Snow-hill.—Wm. Soeth, servant to
Baron de Berenger, swears, that his master sleptat
home on the 20th ult. and every subsequent night till
the 27th, when he left him at the Angel Inn, and
has never since seen him. On entering his master's
room lit three P. M. on the 21st ult. he saw his grey
m litary great coat, green drill dress, and a black
c oats lying on a chair.—Ann Smith, female servant
to Baron de Berenger, corroborates the evidence Of
the preceding witness, as to hei "master having slept
at home from the 20th to the 27th ult. He went out
on Monday Morning (the 21st) and came home in a
hackney coach. fie had on ablack coat, and hail a
bundle containing his grey great coat and green
uniform.

On Friday' last a Meeting which wee held at the
City of London,l'avern, for the purpose of esta-
blishing an Institution of the above description, was
honoured by the Presence of their Royal Ilighttesseit
the Dukes of Kent and Sussex, the Right lion. the
Nati of Darnley, &c. &c. and attended by a very
respectable company, amongst whom we noticed
some Medical Gentlents of high repute, who, as it
afterwards appeared, ,attne to-promote to the utmost
so benevolent a design.
The Duke of KENT; as Chairman, ably stated to
the Meeting the object for which they were assembled,
forcibly pointieg out the necessity so long existing for
an Establishment of this kind, which had more par-
ticularly in view the relief of a complaint, destructive
in this country beyond any other • and he could con.
fi lently call upon them to contribute their assistance
itt every shape, because the peculiar treatment which
would be resorted to, had upon a small scale, by re-
p, ated experiment, been tried, and had succeeded even
beyond expectation. The leading feature of the plan,
it would be seen, was, that the unhappy sufferer
whom it designed to relieve, might be enabled, by ar-
tificial means, to breathe a constantly warm summer
temperature, at the same time that other remedies
occasionally beneficial were not neglected to he He:
plied also, accenting to the judgement of the Physi.
clan under whose care he was placed. He knew that
warmth in cases of this description was most desirable;
for in 'a former part of Ids life, when with the troops
at Quebec, his health had been seriously affected by
repeated exposure to the weather, and more particu.:
tarty upon one occasion., when he had been during a
whole night up to his knees in water. The violent
indisposition arising from this was only removedby
• change of residence to a warm climate, and what
he now proposed would be found a good substitute
fee such a remedy, whep it was not within the ability
or convenience of the patient to apply that remedy.
But it was most important to know, that 'the probable
expense of. such an In4rTary.was by .rip means so
great as the good likellte' be atteined, end that in
all other respects,.it hid-Tali 'to answer. the end pro-

. The Duko_ad Susses in support of what his
Royal Brother had offered, very feelingly described

those disorders which this Institution proposed to re.
move or mitigate, and he sincerely wished no pains
