ON the discovery of the frauds perpetrated by ROBSON, the Directors of the Crystal Palace Com pany passed a resolution repudiating all the transfers of shares fraudolently issued by him: The effect of this resolution was, to transfer the loss occasioned by his crime from the Company to the parties who had, on the faith of the anthentioatisa of the transaotiou by the authorised officer of the Company, bought and paid for their shares is the open market. The ini quity of this proceeding wens manifest, as the Cue piny was unquestionably boasd, in the eyes of the public, by the acts of its came, and the purchasers of the shares were thus left to claim their rights in a Curt of Law, a proem which would hays been in most cuss a heavier loss than the abandonment of their claim to be considered u share holders. The Committee al the Stock Exchange, with a laudable promptitude. immediately ordered the Ceystal Pekoe shams to be mongol from their list, prohibiting, as far at their authority extended, say dealings in seesritios which offered so sort of guarantee to the buyer. This measure in duced the Directors of the Company, when the resolution came before them for oceifirmation, to rescind it, and adopt, as they wars bound to do, the shams fraudulently ions& Now, as these shares are in moms of the number authorised by their sat, they has no mans but to obtain by purchase or negotiation a number of shares equal to that of the fraudulent loss, cancel them, sad so restore the gars register to its legal proportion. RIDPATIeII forgeries have placed the Great Northern Railway Company in a paid precisely similar. Hs has Weed warrants for stook la Metre of the assent the Company had legally crated ; and, although chore is no rumour of the Wastes following the reprehensible maple of the Crystal Palace Com pany, it is neeemary that thane should be isms clear understanding as to the position of the public with regard to Companies sake than circus stances. Morally, ao dosbt, the loss arias, frost a forgery committed by, or with the resnivance of, their owe servant, should be borne by the Company I bat the Crystal Palate Directors, in passing their sosolutien, doubtless meted by the advise of their solicitors, and sew, or thought they cew, legal grand, for disputing their liability. It is quite pos sible that some nice question might arise as to bow for they were justified Is employing the funds of the Company in buying up and cancelling the haudalsat shares ; but these forgeries have sow been carried on upon so vast a seals that the matter should so loupe be left in doubt. It was in • somewhat similar manner that BADLIIIS in volved the Royal Swedish Railway Company in almost inextricable distaaitise : the amount of Roiremes treads is not yet annsenadt and those of Rearsur. if rumor may be credited, exceed 200,0001. Whoa we consider the vast mass of pro pony In peril from such transaction., it is obviously important, not only to come to a elm understudies os to who is to boar the loss—the issoesst shareholders in general, or the equally innoust purchasers of forged shares—but alai, as to how such crimes may best be prevented. The railway debentures Loud amount to above seventy•five millions sterling, the &tares to about two hundred and twosty-two and a half millions; so that there is • wide field for rascality if a confederacy be established moos railway officials. That frauds have not boss more extensively practised, speaks well for the in tegrity of those officers as • body, for it is clear that I. all the cues which have hitherto CORN before the public, no adequate protection against fraud has existed. From the evidence of Mr. MOWATI, the Secretary of the Great Northern, it appears that REDPATR par. chased, so tar back ss April, 1869, two separate amount' of steak, 6001. and 2601. respectively. The sellers transferred them to his in proper form, sod they were entered to the credit of REDPATH in the re gister. When a transfer is male and registered, the buyer receives a certificate. technically called a coupon, for the amount of stock transferred to his, This ooepon is signed by the Transfer Clerk; is ac=t, or ought to be, compared with the original transfer, and with the entry in the register, by the Beeretary, who countersigns it; and is then delivered to the purchaser of the stock, as his evident:4*ot title. This is the usual prows in all transactions in registered shires. Bat, on exemining the register, it was found that REDPAIII had placed a 1 before sue of these amounts, oonvertiog them into 1,6001. sad 1,2601. se. spactively, cresting thus 2,0001. of Ado* in his own favour.

It is clear, heweree► that although he had falsified theregistse. the Gegen would not tally with it, and as the coupon must as company the transfer in selling the stook, that bad to be altered likewise. And hers the Great Northern Company has absolutely invited hand. The coupon is a slip of red paper, stating that LEOPOLD RED. PATo is the registered proprietor of 260 L of A stock, with a referees* to the number and date of the transfer, and 'ivied, as we have before stated, by the Transfer Clerk and Secretary, or rather stamped by the latter, for his signature is not autograph, but a printed far simile. Now so carelessly is this docu ment framed, that the sum it represents is nowhere stated in words on the face of it, nor is the amount even in type, bat is filled in with a pen; so that REDPATTy after the whole genuine transaction was perfect, had nothing to do but place a 1 before the amount in the register, and the same figure be fors the amount in the coupon, and the fraud was complete. It is said, moreover, that this alteration is not in his writing, but is that of Barn, the clerk in his office, so that RIDPATR perhaps did not with his own hand commit the forgery; he only profited by it. It is cleat that by adopting coupons so ill devised, the Company has laid Itself open to fraud, and it is only marvellous that the crime was not perpetrated earlier, or to a greater extent. While on the subject of railway coupons, we may cite those of the South Eastern as evincing a laudable cars on the part of the, Directors to guard against any possibility of tampering with the document after it leaves the hands of the Secretary ; the whole must be forged or none. But it is to be hoped tkat even this risk will be guarded against by every available means, and that at least a water mark of the amount, as in the South Eastern warm, will be universally adopted ; besides having, if possible, some design introduced in the plate, as in °matey bank notes. Bat what are we to think of the audits of these Greet Northern amounts, where the amount of stock issued and entitled to dividend could not possibly agree with that whisk appeared on the face of the register to whisk REM = had been so ingeniocaly adding his thousands? Wm there no system of oh/eking the two amounts P Clearly there was, and a very dimple one; bat between April, 1863, and November, 1866, it wee never put is practice. Had it not been for ROBSON it would probably not have been done even then ; but we find that so gamy was the promo, that although the examination of the books did not commence until Tuesday, the frauds were discovered the wale day, and BM, RIDPATR'S instrument, was examined ca Wednesday. The accounts were duly audited, and by; auditors of the first 'NILSSON bat although the dividend warrants Wald and the amount of stork is the hands of the publie could not by any possibility have agreed if a good system of aceounta were employed, we find the following letter is the lost report of the Great Northern Compasy Aaeoastaat's Departamat.

There is the valuable result of the audit;—boob admirably kept, their correctness artified, and a mere trifle of perhaps 100,0001. forged stock recorded in them, carrying a dividend of some 3,0001. per annum, some of it dating apparently (fa there is lemon to believe that part of it is ante-dated) as far back as 1863; bat the books are duly audited, sad the amounts vouched for by Messrs.

Oar pr sent object has chiefly been to show, that by its mode of inning coupons the Great Northern Com pany gave every facility for falsifying the prime facie evidence of title; and that either its system of book-keeping or its system of auditing is absolutely worthless as a security against the most gross frauds.

TVISDLT. The Constantinople journals announ'tn that the Roasian cruiser from Abash' has captured several Turkish boats laden with contraband salt. Admiral Lyons sent emus gunboats to ask the reason for this capture, but one of the boats (the Banger) having attempted to enter the Bea of Asoff, the Russian refused the passage through the Straits of Yenikale, and even Bred upon the vessel. (nom ova owig NAPLES, Nov. 13. I have perceived in a variety of ways that the reseript of the Bing is being carried out to the letter, and the following incident, amongst others, proves it. The proprietor of the British Pharmacy was return ing a few evenings since to his house, when he was wonted by a policeman, who informed him that he had been watching the arms over his door for five nights, his orders having been to fire upon any one who should insult them. The man proceeded to make a general offer of his services to Mr. Paterson, and concluded by asking him for a bottiglia." The money wee given as soon se it was asked for. This fact, however, came to the eau of the commispario,who re quested the attendance of Mr. Paterson at his olio, two days after, and after inquiry into the whole history, declared that he would not permit foreigners to be robbed, and that he would turn this policeman out of once. I believe, however, that the great man was somewhat mollified by the intercessions of Mr. Paterson. I have it, too, from another souse that public en:- *yes are ordered that in all mess of difficulty or mis. understanding that may arias, foreigners are to be supposed to be in the right. Of course such orders tend to tranquillise all foreigners re ddest in Naples as to the spirit of the government,and will deprive the Western Powers of any special grounds for intervention ; but they show a spirit which IS neither respected nor respectable. His Ms. jesty, I need not say, is at Gaeta, and in excellent spirits, I hear, es might remissibly be expected from his position. He has baffled and defied the Western Powers. He keeps his people down, and seems de termined to persevere in the same line of conduct as in peat years. Some persons are being restored from time to time to their liberty, on their making an ap• plication for it, which, by the bye, as it implies an admission of guilt, many neither can nor will do. The Duo di Berra di Falco has been permitted to return, I am informed, on the express condition of his resid ing in Sicily. We have no vessel either French or English here, though we were told that we were to consider ourselves ander the protection of the naval forces of our governments as soon ea the miniaters should be removed, and that vessels were to look in upon as from time to time. A week has now elapsed sines the French and British frigates left us, and not even a dispatch boat has entered port. I believe that the government will use its strong efforts to keep order, but supposing a phrensy should mire on the " vases dame "—supposing that the priests were to noosed in exciting them (and I heard of certain individuals trying to do so) against the French , and English—where would be the protection of the naval forces of hex Majesty, or how could our *ousel communicate with them ? It is now going on for a week sines a French merchant steamer has pasted here en route to Malta. This is not a state in which ftrittoh outljoota ought tu be left, and the opi nion is very general that the absence of any steamer implies a very culpable degree of security on the part of the governments. The Giornek of Monday evening has two ar ticles worthy of notice. The first in a letter from the Council of Direction to Signor Meli eurgo,the concessionaire of the Brindisi Railway. - - It praises very highly his report t speaks of progres which is being made, and holds oat hopes of a successful termination to this grand project. The other article caudate of a decree laying down the regulation for the transfer of stock in the Sicilian Rents.. Very considerable sales have been effected on the Bourse within the last few days more Pope oially,and government has purchased as largely, so that the Five per Cents. bare risen to the high figure of 108 a. Naples has been full of strange reports within the last few days. One report, spread about by the government, is that Henry V. had been pro- °Limed in Frame. This forenamed lives by tem poeiaing, and entertains a hope either that the western alliance will be dissolved, or that some untoward snidest will destroy the power of the greet man who now rules the destinies of Frame. Either incident would be a godsend. The telegraph has broken down—where, how, or when, we dear know--only dispatches Sr. not re ceived or communicated. One would imagine that telegraphs, Mu ateem•boats in thie country, are sub jected to the directions of the Board of Health.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (now oat oww PARIS. TIMIDLY EVINING. At the Bourn to-day the Rents opened firm at an advance upon yesterday's improvement, bat the quotation of 67k. produced a fierce battle between the " bulls "and the "bean." The ground was repeatedly lost and won, but ultimately the " bulls" triumphed. The Rents for account ran up smartly to 67k. 20c., and closed firm at 67fr. 10c., with a rise of 160. For cash the rise was 20c., the last price being 67fr. 200. The market was greatly sustained by small pur chases for money, made with a view to the dividend which will be struck next month. Mobilier fell at the beginning of basin's', but recovered rapidly, and ultimately rose 35fr. Railways were in very great demand, and the fact is the more remarkable since the Write has begun its career as a financial journal, by articles tending to prove that the French railways are all still much too high, and that it would be advantageous to sell them to invest in the Rents. Orleans rose 17k. 60e. ; Northern, 13fr. 75c.; Eastern, 161 r. ; Lyons, 7k. 600. ; Mediterranean, 60fr. ; Western, 7k. 60e.; Grand Central, 10fr.; and St. &abort to Grenoble, 20k. This rise was stimulated by the confirmation of the news that the companies will be allowed to raise money by the issue of obligations instead of new shares. The officers of the Russian squadron now at anchor at Cherbourg are expected to pay a visit to Paris this week. A letter from Cherbourg of the 16th states that the Russian division,; commanded by Rear Admiral Behrens, was reinforced on Thursday, by the brig Philoetetes. It now consists of four vessels—a ship of the line, a screw frigate, a sailing frigate, and a sailing brig. The officers, who are very numerous, are continually walking about the streets of Cher bourg, and as they speak French fluently, and are very polite, they are everywhere well received. The judgment of the Imperial Court of Paris, in the ease of Gardoni o. Mao Henry, which decided that a money changer le liable to refund to the true owner the value of a stolen Bank of England note when he has changed it without taking down the nams and address of the party presenting it—a de cision which occasioned a good deal of surprise and alarm at the time—was confirmed yesterday by the Court of Cessation. I observe, however, in the marginal not* of one of the reports of the case that the defendant neglected to take down the name, contrary to his usual custom." That is an important circumstance which materially diminishes the weight of the decision u a precedent against the absolute negotiability of bank notes by the bearer, where there is nothing to lead to the sus picion of fraud. _ The waten of the Seine us now so low that the boats which were recently established for a direct service between Paris and London, can no longer get up to the wharf in front of the Louvre. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLII, Nov. 12. The energy displayed in the Russian naval dock-' yards and arsenals, where, notwithstanding the late nen of the season, the foundries are at work, and the soundof the hammer is beard from morning to night, has not failed to excite the attention of the Swedes, who, if they do not consider it a direct menace, look upon it at least as a hint to set their house in order. It has been therefore resolved not only to complete immediately the chain of fortresses— the so-called "austral defensive system "—which has been for some time in course of construction, but also to strengthen the defences of the existing citadels, and improve the effective power of the troops by the general introduction of the detonating needle gun, as need in Prussia, and the Minif rifle. Five thousand stand of arms of this description have been purchased in Belgium, and a still greater number are now in hand at the arsenals of liusquarna and Carl- Oustays-atadti so that by mat fear the old "brown Bess " will be altogether discorded and replaced by lire-arms of more recent coastruoao. In this city a school for musketry has been formed similar to that at Vincennes, and each regiment in the Swedish army furnishes two officers to learn the system taught there. _An alteration in the eddies' kit has also been made, which may be termed a decided improvement. The knapsacks are now made of gotta percha, being waterproof and mach lighter than those hitherto io alai the men's cloaks are also impervious to the rain, and tent., similar to thou, used by the French army, have been furnished to the infantry, besides which the deph•oompanies of the artillery regiments have been transformed into independent 12-pounder foot batteries. with the addition of a 7 inch mortar gun for hollow shot. The fortresses of Carlaborg, Waxholm, Carlateen, and Calscrona, have undergone great repairs, and been considerably strengthened during the past and the present year. At Carleborg a bomb-proof bar rank, of 1,200 feet in length, has been completed, and at Wazholea a spacious reservoir, capable of contain ing 100,000 gallons of water, has been cut in the rock. At Cuisine a number of strand batteries have been erected for the defence of the approaches from the seaboard, and other improvements made to the outworks of the fortress. The cannon foundries at Fins; log and Aker during the put year cast 00 light pion,s of ordnance, and 20 large Paizhans guns for the artillery. In the topographic department great activity is perceptible, and the ordnance y of the country has been prosecuted with great energy. Ten officers of the engineers have been actively engaged on this work all the summer, in the province of Malmo, and seven more are still employed in surveying the die. triot of Westerwick. The topographic map of Sweden will therefore be completed shortly, which will become a work of great strategic importance.

This morning, shortly after nine o'clock, a man was knocked down and killed instantaneously on the Great Nathan Railway between Romney and Southgate, by the down express train to Edinburgh. It appears that the uprise train which left London shortly after nine o'clock this morning, proceeded on its journey, all right, until it reached Horny. Between that station and Southgate a man wee seen to step on the line in front of the train, and was. knocked down. The train was at once pulled up, and the guard, upon pro. seeding back, found that the man wee cot and battered about so much that it was impossible to recognise his features. Assistance was at once at hand, and the Mme= laying been picked op, were conveyed to Homey, and placed in a shell. On him were found two envelope' addressed to some person in West hours, terrace, Wastbourne-grove, Paddington. Mr. Williams, the inspector, was shortly on the spot, sad caused a man to be sent off to the address immediately. From what could be gathered this seems to be an act of suicide. It is stated that a boy observed the person loitering about the line for some time this morning, looking up and down the line as if for one of the trains. _ _ _ _ _ .. . Information has bees forwarded to the coroner, and an °Send inquiry will take place to-morrow at the Great Northern Railway Hotel. DEATH OF A LUNATIC ON A RAILWAY. Last night, an inquiry, which did not terminate until • late hoar, took place at the Elephant and Castle, Bing'proad, Camden-town, before Mr. Brent, deputy coroner, touching the death of Jane Stanton, a lunatic, aged fifty, who died' in a carriage on the Great Northern Railway, nadir very extraordinary and mysterious carom stances, while ander an order of removal front the Stsmlo:d Gains, Lincolnshire, to the Camberwell Lunatic Asylum. A young female, named Thorpe, who had lodged for some time with the deceased at Stamford, and who, in com pany with Mr. Withorne, the assistant-oveneer of the Stamford trains, travelled with the deceased to London, was examined. She said that on the journey the deceased was in a very weakly condition, and she a:premed the opinion once or twig that she was either dying or dead. At Engadine, a few miles this side of Stamford, the de eeased wee In to helpless a condition that upon ehangiag Mates she bad to be annoyed in a chair from one train to the other. The witness wag unable to say if the deceased was than dead or not, but afterwards some other passengers impressed their opinion that she was either dead or dying, and this Induced her to cover the denased's face over with a shawl. Hower, notwithstanding this, the usistaat- overseer, who oat reading a hook, took no notice of the deceased until they arrived at the King's Cross terminus, when they found that Vie deceased was really dead. Throughout the journey, and fcr two days previous. in consequence of the deceased having attempted suicide by jumping out of a window, she had the strait waistcoat on, and the witness added that the deceased bad not taken any food for two days prior to her remove/. Mr. W. LazlMrt, proprietor of the Railway Hotel It Rasendine, also gave evidence as to the deceased'a weakly condition upon arriving at that station; as did also the gaud of the train ; and Mr. Lambert said he considered she was dying, and he was surprised she should late ban taken on to London. Farther evidence of a corroborative character haying been given, the coroner summed up, severely animadverting upon the careless and indifferent conduct of the asaistant overseer, Mr. Withorae, and the jury, after three-quarters of an hour's deliberation, recorded en open verdict as to thie precise cause of the deceased's death, specially adding, And the jury (*wider that the deceased woman did not receive sufficient attention fret Mr. Withorns, relieving officer of the Stamford Union, while travelling in the railway train, and that medical attendance should have been procured when the deceased was first discovered ill, and they highly censure the conduct of Mr. Witborne." The investiga tion then terminated. SUDDEN DEATH.—Our obituary records the and. den death of Robert Mapleton, Req., late of Stunned, in this county, which took place under the following painful circumstances. Oa Tuesday afternoon, about half put four o'clock, Mr. Mapleton went into Mears. Hearn' Bank, Fleet-street, London, and paid in a sumo( money to the ge ment of his aster. Me observed to one of the Pettier clerks that he had known him for some yeas, but the deceased had not been reeognised, and immediately after this he fell backwards, and when Mr. Whitley, a gentleman in the bank, attempted to lift his head from the floor, he gave one deep gasp and expired. Medical gentlemen were imme diately sent for, and on their arrival announced Mr. Maple ton amt.—Bury Post. MURDER or THE GIPSY KINO.—We stated in the Express, a few days ago, that the body of an old man, named Stanley, the " Gipsy Klee of the West," had been hued in the river Dart, and that there was no doubt, from the medical evidence and other circumstances, that he had been murdered. At the inquest which has been held before Mr. W. A. Cockey some 11.1ditiOnSi evidence was ad duced. Rhoda Stanley, the wife of the donned, stated that her hasband left the van early on Tuesday morning to go to Tunes fair; she did not accompany him, but saw him in the afternoon. when they had some drink together. He left her to go to the bone fair, and she sever saw hint alive again. Almost his last act was to buy a pony for his poor old woman to tide" as he thought she was getting up in 'ea.', and needed such help in her wanderings about the country. The witness seemed frantic with grief, as she said demand " was such a good old man to her." The ostler at the inn where deceased stopped last saw hint standing in the passage in company with a , 'strange man," who wee respectably dressed. Mr. Haines, surgeon, deposed that death bad been caused b strangulation. There wa • dark red band round the neck of the deceased, which t ad evicently been produced by the neckcloth being tightly pressed against it. His hands were clinched, and were raised as if in relf-esfecce, and there was a heavy frown on the countenance. It was suspected that the old man had met with foul play by some of the gipey tribe, but no evidence has teen adduced tending to support that suspicion, inasmuch as !se seems to have been popular among his fraternity. Active exertions are being made by the police to endeavour to discover the murderer, and the inquest has been adjourned for that purpose. SUICIDE AT ROTHRRUITHE.—Yesterday morning considerable sensation was created in Clarence-street, Ito- Wilhite, in consequence of a most determined suicide having been committed by Mr. Jonathan Tucker, aged 37, an American, nude r the following distressing circumstances : It ay piers the deceased had ems from Boston, in the Fa vorite, which had undergone most extensive repairs by Messrs.
