THURSDAY INEANO, JANUARY 8,1!

STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 o'Ui.uc►.—Consuls opened this
rrornin4 at Bta.l to ; went down to tif4S, and are at pre.
s. nt SS!, to 1. In the early part of the morning a great
drat of business was doing. A sudden rise took place, yes-
terd.sy afternoon, towards the close of the market. This
ea• owing to a great failure of an eminent Brok•r in the
above house ; as the parties to whom he was indebted were
obliged to buy in their accounts. We understand his
drafts were returned from his Banker to a considerable

amount.
The above market at this moment appears very heavy. One
Brier Las sold upwards of 200,000 Consols.
W. do not hear as yet of any Express from Paris having
arrive.t. A report prevailed that the Russian Cabinet does net
appear friendly to our Government, but ruining as yet is posi-
tively known respecting It, or the cause of the depression in
the funds.
FoaricN MARE/T.—The most business doing this morning
in the market, was in Spanish and Austrian Bonds. The for-
cer opened at 251 to j, and ►he latter at 41 to 5. In all other
foreign securities very little is doing.
Spanish Bonds, 25k—Colou.bian, 02—New Austrian, 41—
Russian, 991—Poyais, Si.

The verdict returned by the Jury at Hertford, is ac.
cc taint with the anticipations of the whole country. The

Ircumstautial evidence brought forth on the trial, although
imperfect and improbable, in isolated parts, yet, on the
aggregate produces the most through conviction on the
mind, and the public will witness the execuiion of the cri-
Irina' without the sl:gliteet pain from any idea of the pos-
sibility of his innocence. IVe forbear to expatiate or pass any
comment upon the atrocity of the deed or on the many aggra
eating circumstances, which have attended the ease from
the first conception of the crime, even to the last words of
Thurtell's defence, his awful appeal to the Deity, for we
;would not deprive the culprit of that slight consolation
%did' lie may derive in Lis last bouts. from the pity of
the public, who we trust, in a crisis so awful, may be
inclined momentarily to forget the crime in the sufferings
stf ibe criminal. •

We may be allowed to observe, that this memorable trial
Jolly evinces the injurious and mischievous fallacy lately
irsisted upon by the Judge relative to the publishing of a
priori evidence. But for the great publicity given to every
circumstance of the few by the press, it would tiave been
impossible to have brought forward such a mass of evidence
