ach no motive of interest whatever to the Stock Exchange or to
their Committee. Upon this resolution, L10,500, the profit made by Lord
Cochrane, Mr. Cochrane Johnstone, and Mr. Butt, were paid into the hands
of trustees, to wait the event. Mr. Butt was not satisfied with this
arrangement, and he was clamorous for his money. They said, "wait a
little, Mr. Butt, you shall have it presently, if you are entitled to
it."--"No," he says, "give me my money."--"It is perfectly safe, Mr.
Butt, for your own honor and character's sake wait a little."--No reply,
but "the money--give me the money."

Gentlemen, that was the consolation to which Mr. Butt looked, for the
contempt to which he found his conduct had exposed him;--that
consolation he will not have--he will have conviction and shame, but he
will not get the money.

Gentlemen, the complete developement of this business, however, now
approached. In the beginning of April, Mr. De Berenger was heard of at
Sunderland, endeavouring to get out of the kingdom. A warrant had some
time before issued from the Secretary of State for his apprehension; and

he had gone from thence to Newcastle, from thence to Glasgow, and from
thence to Leith; and at Leith, on the 8th of April, he apprehended him.
He was brought to London, and arrived in London on the 12th, and then on
being shewn to various persons who had seen him in the course of his
journey, he was identified by every one of them as Du Bourg;--by persons
at Dover,--by persons at Dartford,--by the drivers,--by the
coachman,--and above all by a very important person in this transaction,
he was identified by a Mr. Solomon.--And I will tell you who Mr. Solomon
is.--An account of the dress of Colonel Du Bourg having been published,
the public attention was drawn to that circumstance, and in the latter
end of March a fisherman in dredging in the Thames a little above London
Bridge brought up from the bottom a bund
