great commercial cities—each 84 Hordes us, NI rsellles,

fluctuations wilifot some time occasionally occur in the
French fends. Messrs. Haring, it is said, have sold the

which all commercial houses and Capitalists, French
and foreign, will participate in the loan.

Jury, " you have had the fullest evidence in thii
case, much stronger than you have bed before ;" sad
qe Jury, after about five minutes' consultatioe,
seemed a verdict of Guilty." We are not disposed
to question either these wofds of the Judge, or the
verdict of the Jury,' for Mr. Jour; LEES, the Bank
Inspector, says, the Notes on which the conviction
was found " had not the waving lines in the paper."
Of this the Jhry could easily satisfy themselves by
examining the Notes. Where, however, the imits.
Wien is so complete as to puzzle even an Inspector,
the Jury may exercise their serodis, and after all be
in doebt ; but of that doubt the unfortuoate Pri.
Inner is sere to reap the advantage.
