TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The discount market is active, notwithstanding
the advance yesterday in the rates ; and as the
brokers show a disinclination to work under 7 per
cent. for the best bills, the applications at the bank
have been very numerous.
It will be observed by the following analysis of
the Bank of England return, that the reserve of
notes and gold have been considerably diminished.

The Bank of France return also shows a consi-
derable diminution in the bullion, viz., £172,000 ;
while the notes in circulation have been increased
£810,000; the commercial bills, £1,260,000; and
the advances, £20,000.

Two o'CLocK.

The English Stock Market, after experiencing a
decline of * per cent., has recovered the loss. Very
little business, however, besides that connected with
the settlement of the account is in progress. Con-
sols are 87* 1 for money, and 87* 1 for the ac-
count. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities
are 86* 1; Exchequer Bills, 6s. to 3s. dis. ; India 5
per Cents., 102* 1 ; and the Bonds, 15s. prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market has con-
tinued dull, but in some instances there is a slight
improvement. North Western, Midland, and Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire have each improved 55., and
South Eastern 155., while Great Eastern and Me-
tropolitan have each declined 55..
The inertness of speculative business has pro-
duced a depressive influence upon Foreign Bonds,
as well as almost all securities dealt in at the Stock
Exchange. The depreciation has not been of much
consequence, and the latest prices of some of the
most fancied securities are as follows :—Turkish 5
per Cents. are 411, 42; Mexican, 231 248; the New
Loan, 211, 1 ; Greek, 15* 16 ; Spanish Passive,
271 28* ; the Certificates, 151, 8 ; Italian, 641 1 ;
the Confederate Loan, 6* 71 ; and Brazilian Scrip,
1* 1 prem.
The Foreign and Colonial lines are dull, with
the exception of Grand Trunk of Canada, which
have advanced to 3'51 361.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remain without
any material change as regards values. British
Commercial 'Bonds of Mexico are quoted 65 70 ;
English and American Bank, 1 2 prem. ; Charles
Lafitte and Company, 2 2f prem. ; and London
Steam Towing Company, 1i 2 prem.
The directors of the Anglo-Italian Bank have
made a call of £5 per share, payable on the 27th of
January.

TRIAL AND CONVICTION FOR MURDRR AT GLAS-
Clow.—At the Circuit Court of Justiciary, Glasgow,
on Wednesday, John Jamieson was charged with murder-
ing Isabella M'Kinnon, or Gallagher, in that city, on the
30th of September last. The prisoner is' a hamcurer, and
is forty years of age, and the victim of the shocking crime
was a widow, aged forty-five years. The parties had oc-
casionally cohabited together, and on the afternoon in
question they had, accompanied by other two men, been
drinking in a spirit shop in the city. While they were
thus passing their time a quarrel arose, and Jamieson, in-
censed, it is believed, by a spirit of jealousy respecting the
woman, proceeded to his lodgings a short distance off,
and having procured a razor, ho returned to the public-
house. Shortly afterwards, in the presence of the two
men, he rose as if to embrace his paramour, but in doing
so he rapidly drew the razor across the left side of the
neck of the poor woman, the frightful gash commencing
at the spinal column, and extending to the windpipe, the
dreadful act being perpetrated before it was possible to
check the man in his mad design. Blood, of course,
flowed copiously, and death ensued in a few minutes.
Jamieson, on seeing what he had done, coolly said—
" Bella, I loved you, and will die for you." The fellow
was apprehended the same evening, and on being after-
wards charged with the murder of M'Kinnon, he stated
that he should die happy, knowing she was dead. The
prisoner afterwards attempted to commit suicide, but was
deterred from completing the perpetration of the rash act.
The facts of the murder having been deposed to in evi-
dence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and /intones
of death was passed upon the prisoner.
