THE MURDER OF MR. IVE,4IZE.

HERTFORD, DECEMBER 28.
The prisoners charged with the murder of Mr. Weare
have ceased to be the objects of universal attention which
they were some weeks ago..- It is fortunate for the in-
terests of public justice that that state of extreme ex-
citement which was recently witnessed, is no more.—
' There are, however, even now, many who visit Hert-
ford for the purpose of learning all that can be heard of
the accused. The precautionary measures adopted
some weeks ago by the Magistrates have not been at all
relaxed. If the safety of the nation depended on their
being kept secure from public observation, more care
could not betaken to bate that curiosity which would
seek to gratify itself by looking on them, than is taken.
The prisoners attend the Chapel on a Sunday, and
have uniformly conducted themselves in a manner be-
coming their unhappy sitdation.. Hunt is a good deal
depressed; Probert is' not,4o.,;itauch so as he was, and
'Thurielris in good spiriti, but does not indulge in
any unbecoming levities. " He seems at his ease, and
speaks with confidence and ieittitty of the result of the
trial. In one of the weekly papers, an essay was pub-
lished, about a fortnight ago, in the shape of a defence of
lhurteU. This was lately taken to him in the prison,
and spoken of as a clever peeformatice. Thud& looked
at it, but did not jois in the praises of which it had been
made the subject; he Iriumpbantly remarked, .4 if he
could not make a better defeae than. that, he would
offer none."

He lately expressed an opinion respecting the extra-
ordinary absence of a Rev.-Gentleman whose case has
recently attracted no small share of public attention. To
him it seemed probable, he said, that he had been put
out of the way by those with whom be had .unfortunately
connected himself, from an apprehension that some of
their secrets, of which he was in possession, would rot
be safe in his keeping. • To prevent that disclosure of
their iniquitous practices which the Gentleman' in
question might have deemed it right to make, there is but
too much reason to fear that he has been sacrificed. •
Some alterations are making in the Court House; the
Jury box has been ordered to be raised, and the work-
men are now actively engaged in making other im-
provements which were suggested by the, Learned
Judge who presided in the Crown Court during the
late Assizes. •
'lhe witnesses will be Or assembled in -11Crtfcird on.
Monday next, and lodgings have been taken for them
in different parts of the town. Thomas lhartell will be
again taken dawn under a writ of habeas. Ile expresses
strong commiseration for the situation of his brother.
It is stated 41 a Paper of yesterday (we hope incor-
rectly) that among the sporting• circles bets are still
offered on the result of the trialiand in many cases these
are connected with the fight between Spring and Lan-
gan, which will take place as. the same period, namely,
on the 7th of January, betweep London and Manchester.
The idle hoax that Mr. Weare is still alive, •and That
he is to be produced *on the trial, still obtains credit
among thole who do not refleet on the positive evidence
which was given before the Coroner of the identity of
' the,body.fmand. - .

By the Jamaica Mail, which at rived last Saturday,
accounts have been received from Bogota to the 19th of
October. • The Papers ceatain no political news, and
areschielly filled with•the laws of Congress passed in its
last fiessiona„ Among them we observe an Act, pant-
ing to Messrs. Runde'', Bridge, and Kungen, the ex-
clusive privilege of the pearl fishery on the coast of the
Republic; in the South Sea, from Cape North-East, to
Cape Corriente ; and in the Atlantic, from the north-
east boundary of the Republic to Cape San Roman, for
five years—and in other districts i of the coast for ten
years. The natives are not prohibited from fishing in.
their accustomed manner during these periods, but they
are not to use the machinery which Messrs. Minden and
Co. are about to introdnce,and at the end of the privi-
leged terms, Messrs. Rundell and Co. are to give up this
machinery in perfect order to the Government; one-
fifth part of the produce of the fishery is also to be given
to the Government as a consideration for this privilege.
--Another Act gives to Mr. Charles Stuart Cochrane
the exclusive privilege of manufacturing sheet' copper
for eight years, and the Government is to enjoy,certain
specified advantages therefrom. Tbe.Aet of Congress
respecting Mr. Zeit': Loan is also published, but our.
readers have long since been made acquainted with it.
The Editor of • 1 ke Geseitt remarks upon it, that this
decree "shall be so fulfilled, that it may never appear
in the annals of Colombian Independence and Liberty
that Colombians took advantage of succoors that weie
seat to them, and then refused to pay for them, on the
teems to which •war and the necessities of the time
obliged ilkeakto agree • He. adds, " If the Loan of 30
hills:as, decreed- by . the .Congress, should take effect, 1
as eippearsierobalie, the Saancial affairs of the Republic ,
seillussiert a most islaperrant change. and the old and
emir creditors willle less exposed to tni wits, donbts,.or
