FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Weowmpar, Feb. 15—6 P. M. ‘The stock market was heavy and the speculative feel- ‘ing tame at the first board, which showed the unsub- stantial character of the rise of yesterday. The course of prices being almost entirely dependent upon the operations: of the brokers themselves, it is necessarily unstable, and every effort to engineer a rise is succeeded by an interval Of depression. This inherent weakness of the market efiers no temptation to the outside public to put its shoulder to the wheel of railway speculation. The dif- ferences at the close between this morning’s quotations and those of Tuesday's first board were a decline in Erie of 44, New York Central 154, Hudson River 234, Roading 1, Michigan Southern 43g, Illinois Central 1%, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, Northwestern 134, Rock Island 4, Fort Wayne 1. Cumberland Coal advanced 4% under the twisting process, The clique have full control of the stock and the cornering of “shorts” is their chief amusement. Government securities were steady.

The most import- ant of the rumors were the occupation of Branchville and Orangeburg by our forces and ekirmishing near Charleston.

Opening of the Case for the People-—Testimony of Drs. Robinson and Putnam, Israel Lasarus, Henry Connell and Christopher Richards, HOW THE DEED WAS DONE, Ke, Rey ke. Oourt of General Sessions. Before Recorder Hoffman, The trial of Bernard Friery, charged with the murder of Henry Lazarus, waa resumed yesterday morning. In consequence of the admirable arrangements made by the Sheriff the court room was not inconvenieatly crowded. ‘The jurors having answered to their namea, OPENING ADDRESS OF THR ASSISTANT DISTRICT AT- TORNEY. Mr. Gnnning 8. Bedford, Jr., Assistant District Attor- ney, in‘opening the case in behalf of the people, spoke in the following feeling and impressive manaer:— Your Howon anv Genriemen oF THe Juxy—Tho pris- oner at the bar, Bernard Friory, stands indicted for the murder of Henry Lazarus, on the morning of the 3d of January last, at No. 12 East Houston street, in this city; and you will perceive, as we progress with the evidence, that, in some of its detaila, the decd, if mot without « parallel in the annals of crime, is at least characterized by. @ brutality and utter recklessness of life which makes the heart grow sick at the contemplation of such fiendish depravity. Happily, gentlemen, in its award of punishinent for cfime, the law has no vengeance to gratify; its object is simple justice. The Commonwealth, while {t claims protection against the evil doer, and is exacting and mptory im its condemnation of crime, yet itis eq just even towards the anngreennr for jt is a sound maxim in our profession that the accused shall be presumed innocent until bis guilt be fully estab- lished by the prosecution. Therefore, gentlemen, let your eyes be closed against all published records of this case, and your ears made deaf to all outside conversations ‘on the subject. With these you have nothing to do; they are not to weigh oue feather in determining the momen- tous issue now to be submitted to your judgments, The on!y basis for your verdict will be the sworn evidence of the witnesses who will appear before you, and you will give to that evidence its truo, inherent value—nothing more. In one wi gentiemen, I wish you distinctly to remem- ber that in the trial of this case, the issue of which is so vital to the prisoner—for his very life hangs on it—you are to keop your minds like a sheet of white paper, with no prejudice for or against, and let your verdict be rendered according to the evidence, so help you God! Gentlemen, Bernard Friery, the prisoner at the bar, stands indicted for the murder of Henry, Lazarus—that is, charged with having killed Henry Lazarus with the intent to kill him; for murder, gentle- men, means, ‘and simply means, the killing of a human being with the intent to kill him. In this case the peo- Je claim that the prisoner at the bar not only killed 1s, but intended to killhim, ‘The people will prove to you that during the evening of the 1st of January the prisoner visited the saloon of the deceased and went up to the bar, called fora drink, and immediately drew from his perzon a knife nine inches in length, and plunging that deadly weapon into the counter of the bar, and while it was yet quivering, restive and eager, as it were, for the murder which had just boen assigned it, the prisoner exclaimod, “There's & thing that will Kill some son of a —, yet” Less than twenty-four hours after- wa: wo far as the act of killing was con- rned, the prophecy was indeed fulfilled; a buinan being, Henry Lazarus, unprepared and uncalled, sont be- fore his Maker. Yes, gentlemen, Henry Lagarus was most foully deait with by the cowardly hand of Bernard Friery. fe will prove to you that up to twelve o’cloek on the night preceding this fearful murder the deccased was with bis parents; that at midnight, on parting, the son fondly kissed bis parents, wishing them a happy New Yea, Little did thut ‘son, or those heart. stricken nis, think that that was the embrace of death. Four lotr hours depen Shel soe bir & corpse, lying in a poo own a the Lr tae father, im the bewilderment of stood gazing upon him. One tear would, perhaps, ‘ave’ broken the agony of his grief; but the poor old man’s heart was too full—be had mo tearto shed. We will prove to you that on the morning of the 3d of Jauu ary the prisoner went into the saloon, accompanied b: some of his associates, when one of them suid, “I will bet a hundred dollars [ have got a man here that can lick any man in the house.’ Another olfer to bet ten dollars was made ‘that thord was « man there that could take the pistol away from the deceased."? And now, gentlemen, I wish you to note with emphasis these words, “that there waa'a maa there that could tako the pistol away from the deceased,” for they are signifi cant in meaning. It was, beyond all peradventure, the truth that this threat was made simply for the purpose of ascertaining whether the deceased was armed, whother he had nbout his person a pistol; for Henry Lazarus, the murdered man, as soon ag the words woae uttered, with- 4 dolay, unbuttoned his ooat, thus reveal- ing the fact that be was without a weapon of any kind— totally unarmed. ‘Then, and not until then, did this courageous prisoner advance towards the deceased, offer- ingto shake hands with him, saying: ‘Harry, you are good little man,” wt the same instant doing the work of death by plunging the knife into the neck of his unsus: pecting victim, thus playing the part of the contemptiolo coward ux well ns the heartless murderer. And, gentle- men, wo will prove to you that as the prisonér coolly walked out of the room, and while his victim was I ing and tn the agoniex of death—this prisoner said, “Harry, you are a good littls man, but J think I have fixed you!” Great Heaven, gentlanen, if this be not cold niurder, then what is it? And to show the fiendisia malice exiting on the part of the prisoner, and wrankting pntlike in his heart, we will prove to you th when he was arrested at Har- jem, rome few hours after the — perpetration of this deed of bv if ae were itnpli on being asked by the police officer ved in the murder of Lazarus said, “Yea; and I will dauer at his wake.” Thave no comment, atleraen, to make on these fearfal words; they carry ir own’ interpretation with them, and it is tor you, vive jurors, to give them their true import. Such, in f, ave the Jeading tacts in this case, and if we shall prov’ them to your satisfaction, ws we confidentiy be- lieve wo ehall do, then the conclusion at which you must neceasartly arrive 1 that Bernard Friery, the’ prisoner at the bur, i» ywity of the murder ef Henry Lazarus, NY OF DR.

NEWS FROM MEXICO. Mr. Gwin Not a Duke, but lg} lye the be ped of French Ca pHalists for the Pur= chase of Public Lands in the States of Sonora and Sinaloa. (Correspondeuce of the Alta cone Mazariax, Jan. 14, 1865. A story, gotten up, no doubt, for effect by the therm chivalry here, has been in circulation for the past few days, to the effrct that Senator Gwin has returned to Mexico, having his Ingorsement a4 governor general, er viceroy, from Napoleon. There are two or three versioaa: of the affair, but the one to which is given ce cre- dence is, in iny opinion, the least likely to true, J rune in this way :— You will remember that in a treaty entered into be- tween Maximilian and Napoleon, soon after the accession of the former to the sovereignty of Mexico, it was stipa- lated that Mexico should secure to France the ment of the i ge French claims, eat with all cx penses the present war, the maintenance of @ stipulated number of troops for a certain length of time, It ig now said that Napoleon, ia order to secure this, has asked and received from the Muxican one entire right and ownership to the States of Sonora, loa, Du ‘o and Chibuahua. These States are to be consoli inte one province, and is to be excla- sively French, though under the protection of the Mexican flag. ‘The most curious part of the story is, that afler having expended this vast amount of money, incurring the risk of a war with the United States, Napoleon should turn the whole over to the sole management and keepi! can traitor, Ex-Scnator Gwin, it is positively asserted here by his friends, has the commission of Governor General, or Viceroy, and willleave Mexico for Ai Nor through the dsy—Friery, I mean? A. No, sir. ¢ You had not seen him on Monday vening? A. No, sir; hey in ee eed re jor through Monday? A, Exce} @ What time was that you saw Meg? A. I think it was between four and five o'clock in the morning; be- tween them two hours. Q. Where did you see him? A. In the barroom, Q Whose ym? A. "8. Q. Who was in there then? A. Well, there was a roung fellow named Barry, attending bar for Johann; and a young fellow of the nate of Johnson; Lg there were one or two more that I do not remem- r. 3 @ How long did Friery stay in your placethen? A, Only a few minutes. we da Lazarus in there then—Harry was not there? fo, sir. e Bid bey see Friery have anything, and if 80, what? A. I saw him havea knife; he was standing with his elbows on the counter. @ State tothe jury, if you please, how he had the knife and what kind of a Knife it was. Mr. Sedgwick—I do not object to that part of the ques- tion that asks what kind of a knife it was; think that is competent evidence. It is shown affirmatively that Lazarus was not there. The mode in which he held the knife is an irrelevant fact in this case. If there were any dispute as to whether or not at the time of the killing the defendant had a knife, ‘perhaps, under the case of the people against Rodgers, it might be admissible to prove that shortly before that time he hada weapon which might have inflicted such a wound. So far as the question yoes to that point I make no objection; my objection goes as to the mode in which he held it. ‘he Recorder—Isce many ways in which the testimony might be very important, Mr. Sedgwick—Your Honor will consider all your rul- ings as excepted to. Q Tell the jury about the knife. A. It was a longtwo- edged dagger knife, with a white handle, and a blade some seven or eight inches long, or may be more. Q. Tell the jury where and how he bad it, A. He had it in his hand. Q In his right hand; you described it now with that gesture? A. Yes, sir. . (The witness showed the manner in which he held it with his hand shut.) Q. Did you ace the knife which he had at the time of the stabbing, or any part of it? A. I saw the blade of it? Q. Well, what kind of a blade was it which you saw at the time of the stabbing? A. I think it was the same blade that I saw the morning before—about seven or eight inches long. @ How came you to see, on the morning in question, that the handie was white? A. He stuck it in the counter and left it there. eae you see the handle at the time of the stabbing? fo sir. @. Toll the jury how he stuck it in the counter and yh he said, if anything. (Objected to, Question al- Mr. —The of course, is to shutout evidence which may be irrelevant. ‘The Recorder—It might be important, and I considor it admissibio. Witness—A, Well, he was standing with his back to the bar; he had this knife in bis hand; he reached his band and drove itin the bar, and left it sticking there, Says he, “That will be the death of somebody around here before long, or somebody here.’’ @ Are you now repeating the exact words he said or your remembrance? A. I am repeating them as | ro- member them; I may not have tuem right and I may. Is that as near to his words as you can getY A. I think it is, Q.

For your sake lam airaid it is only Southern boasting. If we are to receive the news of Mr. Gwin’s accession to great power und: French authority and protected by French boyonots, us a fact, then we may be permitted te avsign a reason foy such aM extraordinary act of abnegae tien on the part of the usually tenacious Emperor.

In this ceding and trading of land in this country, we may alse be permitted to inquire what is to become of the with General Stone, Captnin Isham and others, by whiek they have, in justice aud right, prior claims to one-third of all the public iands in theses tates?

Alta California (editoria 0. 23.) correspondence, published in the Alle this morning, contains the substance of some rumors current in that phice. The main points are, that Maxt- milian has sold or morigaged Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango and Chibua’ ‘ for the payment of expenses Incurred by c iu the invasion; that these four States or provinces are to be consolidated ; that Arispe isto be the capital; that William BL Gwin is to rule them, with the tide of Governor Gencral or Vicoroy; that he bas already drawn up a code of laws, which have been approved by Napoleon; and that the new potentate will be nominally subject to Maxunilian, and will recognize the Mexican fing ‘There is much about these rumors that is entirely im- credible. The title of viceroy is given only to those whe govern distant provinces for kings. Neither Maximilian nor Napoloon is a king. 1!

This story about Gwin has been correat a long time, and it is time that it should be proved either false or true. We are not disposed to give any credit to it. Every motive of policy ehould induce Napoleon to prefer a Frenchman, and }axivailian to prefer @ Mexican of Austrian—unloss, perhaps, the one motive of attracting Tobel immigrants. No doubt Gwin, in the position of Goyornor, could bring in @ large number of disoppointed rebel getilers, and they would do much to develop & country, but would be most dangeroos elements in t political and rail tary affairs of Mexico, and therewre @ pradent monarch, whose chief care is always to secure ie own crown, will mot desire s large migration. Tt nw be that Gwin intends to settle in Sonora, and goes wi the approbation of the two Pmperore, and has authority from them to invite rebel im nts; but ths would be far from a fulliiment of the rumors about the Viceroyalty, transfor to France, consolidation, and so forth. sir. we ‘That is the extent of your observation?
