This morning, at nine o'clock, John Green was publicly executed in front of the CountyGeol, at Cambridge, for •he murder of Elizabeth Rrown. at Whittleeey. The prisoner wait convicted, at the recent anizes, of the crime upon very clear testimony, and, since his condemnation, as our renders ►re aware, he made a full and ample confession of his guilt. His confes sion but bore out the suspicions of those who heard and read his trial. Repulsed in his overtures in the malting, he quarrelled with his victim, and thee he beat and kinked her to death, afterwards stupidly striving to destroy the body of his victim by setting ire to it. Since his condemnation he had evinced, up to last night, no remorse for the deed he had committed. He never re ferred to the murder, except when be made the confession, but has conversed freely upon other topics. His appetite failed him, sod his sleep was undisturbed. He often devoted himself to reading and smoking, but did not care to take much exercise. He has often stated that he was resigned to hie fate, and never indulged in any hopes of • reprieve. A day or two after his condemnation he inquired when his execution was likely to take place. but with no ardent cariosity ; oa the contrary, with perfect nowhere lore. He likewise inquired whereabout the gallows was erected. He is a remarkably fine mute young moo, standing just about six feet high, and weighing 13st. 311 b. On Wednesday and Thursday has mother passed a good ded of time with him ; and yesterday his father and mother, wife. and three children, took their last farewell of the doomed mats. Our readers will remember a story, in the letters of the Tone.' correspondent in Poland, of an English clergy man who was imprisoned by the Russians ou mere un- founded suspicion, and only liberated by the prompt and firm efforts of another English clergyman, who, it is perhaps no breach of confidence to say, is the public orator of the University of Cambridge.

Coiwut s B►LLOON AT WooLwieß.—The ascent of Mr. Coxwell's large balloon, which wea intended to take place yesterday morning from Woolwich Arsenal, was again adjourned, the weather not being considered favourable for making the required observations at a great altitude, and it being evident that a high ascent would he attended with more than ordinary risk both to the experi mentista and the balloon itself, especially so with regard to the aerial machine, as excessive cold is peculiarly objection able to the process of iutlati , m , by reason of the varnished covering of the balloon being more likely to become crisp nod exposed to fracture from the frost. The object to be obtained is, however, considered to be of the highest portanoe, as the real state of the air at a great altitude at this time of the year cannot be ascertained by any other means that+ an ascent, which will be made at the first favourable opportunity. THE GIi6AT SI;IP IN CHANCERY. —Yesterday another meeting was held at the chambers of the Master of the Rolla, before Mr. G. Whiting his chief clerk, relative to this company's affairs. Mr. Hawes, the official liqui dator, attended with his solicitors. Messrs. Murray, Soo, and lfutchins, and premoted a statement relative to the present position of the company. Considerable discussion took fplace as to the course most espedieut to be pursued, when it was determined to call upon the creditors of the company to mod in their claims forthwith, and await the result of the sale of the vessel on the 14th IDOL The pro posed lottery at Frankfort, for the purchase of the ship, was incidentally alluded to. The official liquidator said he bad nothing to do with it, but had been informed that it ins taken up with great spirit, both in London, Liverpool, and Manchester. He cautioned all who marls isquirias concerning it that lotteries in England were declared to be illegal, and that as shareholders in the Great Ship Company they would subscribe upon their own respon sibility. He understood that a large sum of money was being subscribed. The Chief Clerk said it appeared to him that neither the official liquidator not the court had any con trol over the undertaking, the lottery being a foreiv• one. It was mentioned incidentally that both the French and American goverornenta would in all probability be bidders for the purchase of the vesseL PROPOSED DESECRATION Or DUNHILL-FIELDS BURYING Gauuse—A public meeting of working men has been held at the Lambeth Baths, to protest against an intention, attributed to the Ecclesiastical Cornentssweers, to appropriate Butibill-fielJa Burviog.gmand to building purposes. As we know (says the Atiten , rion) how things of the kind protested against are done, and how callous official bodies are to matters of sentiment, we do not feel sur prised at a rumour which many persons will consider as incredible. Surely the House of Common.. as representing the Dation —so deeply indebted to He Foe. John Owen, George Fos, John Bunyan, lease Watts, William Blake, Joseph Rimon. Thome. Stotbard nod Dr. Ladner, al! of whom he at I:timbal-fields—will interfere to prevent the carrying out of an intention to desecrate their gravest. What is the great Nonconformist body about that such a thing as thou even mentioned? Will the City of London forget that Butibill.fields burial ground is its Campo Santo, and not declare, that col ea thor is no longer used as a place for interment, it should be made • garieu ? A garden is sorely wanted there; the proposal to shut up such an open space with builders' is in direct cootradiction :o all the efforts of sanitary reformers. The Metropolitan Board of Works, if it would deserve well of the people, will look to this matter.

The stock markets to-day are generally flat, owing chiefly to the disquieting aspect of foreign politics, combined with the revival of the demand for gold for exportation. Consols have again de clined per cent., and most of the principal specu lative foreign stocks I. Home railway stocks and most other securities are likewise dull. Consols are now quoted 90k to 91, ex div., for money, and 91, " sellers," ex thy., for the ac count (Jan. 7). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 91k, 91 ; ditto, for account, 91, i, 901 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 90i ; New Three per Cents, 91, 901 ; India stock, shut ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 106} ; ditto Four per Ceut., Debentures, 99} ; Bank Stock, 236; and Exchequer Bills, is, 35., 2.. dia. An average decline of about per cent. has taken place in moat of the speculative foreign bonds, sales predominating. Some of the present quotations are annexed.

HALF-PAST Tw•o o'CLocK. Consols are quoted 91 exactly both for money and the account (Jan. T), being fractionally better than at 2 o'clock. The 258,4001. of Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stock required for the sinking fund was ob tained yesterday by the government agents at 86, div. No bar gold ii - assent into the Bald:yesterday, but 45,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation, chiefly to the ESA. The demand for bar gold for the Continent has also increased, and about 200,0001. will be sent to Spain. It appears that only 242,500 t in gold was shipped from 3lelbourne to England during the mouth. A large amount was doubtless despatched to India. The market for bar silveris firm, with a good de mand for the East. The supply here, however, is small, the refineries on the Continent being always closed at this period of the year. The quotations of exchange just received from Calcutta and China exhibit an advance ' • which is in favour of the transmission of increa.seil supplies of silver from this country. The chief remittances, however, will doubtless continue to be sent to Bombay. The exchange from the latter port, rid Calcutta, is 2s. 21td., stowing no movement of im portance. There was not much alteration yesterday after noon in the foreign exchanges, but the tendency was rather unfavourable to this country. Sub joined is our usual list : . . Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.191 to L. ; ditto, 3 days, 11.161 to 17; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.191 to 12 ; Antwerp, 3 months, 25.67 i to 721; Hamburg, ma. banoo. three months, 13.71 to 8 : ParW, 3 days, 25.25 to 30 ; ditto, 3 mouths., 25.671 to 721 ; Frankfort-on.the-Matne, 3 months, 1191 to St. Petersburg (per rouble), 3 mouths, 334 to 1 ; Vienna, ed. do., 3 tuontlie,l2.3o to 35 ; Trieste. elf. do., 3 months, 12.30 to 35 ; Madrid, 3 months, 47; to 48; Cadiz, 3 monthr, 471 to 48 ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.90 to 95 ; Genoa. 3 months. 25.90 to 95 ; Milan. 3 months, 25.90 to 95; Naples, 3 months, 25.90 to 95 ; Pabwroo, 3 months, 25.90 to 95 ; Messrs., 3 muetha, 25.90 to 95; Lisbon, 90 days, 521 to 1; Oporto, 90 dare, 521 to A.

Yesterday was the day for the final payment on Hudson's Bay shares. Intending buiers seem to have waited, under the impression that the price would recede under the influence of the call. Instead of this occurring, the price improved yes terday afternoon to 177 to ex the dividend of ss. Another new Indian agricultural company is announced under the title of the finalists° and Oude Plantation Company (Lin.ited). It is formed under very respectable auspices, and it is understood that the directors themselves; take a large stake in the enterprise. Three estates in Kuumon, com prising about 4,400 acres, and two others in the north of Oude, comprising about 10,000 acres, have been purchased, where tea, cinchona, silk, cotton, rhea, and other crops are to be produced. The price of tho estates is 29,0001., of which 12,0001. will be payable in money, and 17,0001. in shares, which ars not to be entitled to any dividend until 8 per cent. has been in some one year paid out of the net profits of the company upon the capital paid up on all the ordinary shares. The vendors gua rantee a dividend of 8 per cent. for the first three years of the operations of the company, and leave security for the fulfilment of the euarantee. The capital is 100,0001., of which 60,000/. is to be issued in the first instance in 6,000 shags of 101. each. The prospectus of the British Nation Fire In surance Company (Limited), an unciertakiirr formed with a respectable direction, in connexion with the Life Assurance Association of the same name, is issued this afternoon. It is pointed out that this new tire company has every element for securing at once a large and profitable business. The British Nation Life Assurance Association is stated to have an income of 170,0001. a year, and to be effecting uew business, yielding a premium income at the rate of upwards of 30,0001. per annum ; its policyholders amount to more than 20,000, and it has upwards of 3,000 agents. The Fire Company will at once obtain the advantage of the whole working staff of the Life Company. One of the chief advantages of the association of the two undertakings is of course the saving of expenses which it will entail, both imme diate and prospective. The letters of allotment of the General Floating Dock Company are expected to be issued on Mon day, the 4th inst. 'rhe English and Irish Bank (Limited) have this day made a call of 5/. per share, payable on the 25th instant. _ It appears that the agreement stated to have been entered into between the General Credit Company and the Turin and Savona Railway Company, and announced in the report of the council of adminis tration of the latter company, at its general meeting on the 18th November last, was premature, as the negotiations for such a treaty which were then pending have been broken off. In consequence of the increasing need of steam communication between London and New York, the British and American Steam Navigation Com• piny (Limited) have decided upon placing the fol lowing four firat-class screw steamers—viz., the London, Westminster, Dublin, and New York, of 2,500 tons each, on that line. The first vessel is to s' leave airly in March next, end will be followed by the others at intervals of a fortnight. The ship are to load in the Victoria Dodos, and the agents are Messrs. A. Laming and Cu., of London. FRIDAY EVIIIIPO. Consols, which closed yesterday at 911 to at div. for January 7, were first marked to .lay 914, and closed at 91 to 1. For money the last price was 91. The official business report is as follows : —Three per Cent. Consuls, fur money, 914, 91, A, ex dir. ; ditto, far account, 911, I, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914, 91 ; New Three per Cent.., 91, 4, 901, 911 ; Bank Stock, 230 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 10fi,i, ; ditto Four per Cent., 1001 ; Four per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 99. The India Fivo per Cent. Stock remains steady. Exchequer Bills have improved Is., being quoted 7s. to 3s. dia. The foreign stock market was dull, and closed flatly.

Considerable fluctuation took place to-day in this compauy's sham. The price, after falliu„; tot to prem., rebounded to 21 to 21 prem., the elusiug quotation. . . . .. . In the market for bank shares the transactions were to a fair extent, and prices in the majority of instances were higher. London and Brazilian Bank, Bank 4 Hindustan, and Loudon and Hamburg Bank formed au exception, being flatter. British Indian Tea, British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph, Italian Irrigation, English and Australian Copper, Electric Telegraph, National Discount, Submarine Telegraph, and Oriental Commercial shares, were all in demand.
