The year 1812 was a leap year, which means it had 366 days.

If January 1st, 1812 was a Wednesday,

Number of days after January 1st = days.

Now, we find the remainder of 365 when divided by 7:

365 ÷ 7 = 52 with a remainder of 1.

This means the day of the week will shift forward by 1 day from Wednesday.

Therefore, the last day of 1812 was a Thursday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
