We hue, e a previous sets sic shown how easily the hoed was perpetrated. The saunters, or Aoki esetifleste issued to the probes,' .1 stalk, was framed se as to reader forgery, as reprds themes& speeded on the SOS of it, extremely easy. Whoa REDPATII received the coupon for his 2601. stock, that sweat Nag merely written in figures CV the does meet, it was easy for his to Worst with a pea a " sad I. convert it into 1,2601.; the sense addition to the amount to his credit in the steak ledger mespleted the operation, making him the holder of 1,0001. more stook than he bad really purchased. Bet when he sold this stock, and transferred it, he was compelled to band over the mopes to the buyer with the treader, and the transferee wee bound to seed in both the transfer and acorn to the saes before he could be registered as ;the proprietor of the stock. Now. bad the coupon, when it was thm seat is to the °Moe, been oompared with the original treader to REDPATII, in right of whisk it was issued, the finery 'mid at owe have been discovered. But it is clear that either this simple coarse of verifloadon has not been resorted to; or—what we esa hardly think probable—it woe lest for REIM= himself to verify, which would be tantamount to an absent* ot any Meek whatever. Supposing that from some modest& circumstance this precaution bad been °aided on one 00M8L011, It IS, to say the least, strange that in the many tram maims of this kind on the part of RILDPATII, It should have boss always negketed. Bock a fact leads to the conclusion that no such verification is seer attempted. From the evident* adduced at the last examination it %clear that the mode in which the stock ledger is balanced, is order to calculate the amount of dividend dee to ash proprietor, le at any rate an exequies to the schnireble system of amounts so eulogised by the auditors The clerk charged with taking eat those balances stated that HUT desired him to omit RILDPATIeII name and the mama of his stock, which was subsequently added by the taw himself. It appears, mersover, that Sfty mere names were subsequently added by smother clerk ; bet we hear nothing of any diseltiog of those balms% It wee this mooed clerk who entered oppeeite to PATH'S nem, the amenat of stook standing to his credit in the ledger—minely, 7,6001.

There is no excess for an lame of 1261. Is the stock ledger of a public company, seers especially for a company with each appliances es Were at lb& disposal of the Great Northern; What would a banker's clerk say to an grief, net of 1361., hater 125 farthioge, in his half-yearly balance ? The fact of an error existing, irrespective of its amount, would immediately provoke a re-obseking of all the scootnts, and there would be no net until it was discovered. Nor can the magnitude of the Great Northern stock account be pleaded as an exollllll for it is, after all, approached by more than one banking total, and is composed of items less numerous and less complicated. Nevertheless, this error of 1261. seems to have been looked upon as of no importance, either by the clerks or the auditors. But this is not all. One of RIDPATIeI transfers was dated Feb. 10, 1654, and the amount of stock represented by it was included, by his desire apparently, in the stook balancershest for Dee. 31, 1853, and the necessary alterations in that balance-sheet must have been made subsequent to February 10. Now, any one who will take the trouble to read the report honed by the Great Northern Railway Company on March 1, 1864, will find at the foot of the capital account this remarkable certificate : Bisadsed sadoospusd with' Lodges sad 'sadism sad found serviet. J. CZAPN Alt. mum I. r- CATTLE T, Lead" 'Wray 9,1864. How are we to reconcile this certificate of the auditors with the statements made on oath on Wed nesdny last? One clerk states that the balance was 1261. out, but that each an amount was too trifling to be noticed ; yet the auditors find the total amount of stock to be "correct." They examined and coop paled the items with the ledgers and washers, and bore is clear @Ticino& that the ledgers and vouchers did sot agree—the former were falsified, and the stalk baleseethest showed that an error bided somewhere. On the 10th of February that stook balane►sheet could not hare been complete, for RxDrovs's amount was not entered, and yet on the 9th we fad the auditors molds, for its correetnses. They had " maw= it with the ledgers,"&o. Either then is some singular mistake in the report of the evidence, or Masers. CHAPMAN and Cowles: have a vary Miceli explanation to make. Bet the blame does not net entirely cm their shoulders. It was surely the business of some one else to bow that whoa, an Feb. 9, the auditors =tiled the cor rectness of the balances, the stock balance was neon. plots t and it wee doubtless known to some one besides Coaxml.L. the clerk, that the stock balsam woe in error 1251. The auditors express their "comitinned matiefeedon with the oxalis= system pervading every bran= of the socountaat's department." Now the shareholders ought to bow whether this pawing of approximate and iseomplete balances is a poetics of that " system" so highly appreciated by Wan. CHAPMAN sad Corner, and who is respossible for its introduction sod tolerant,. That those pude men are either too incompetent or too careless to be =titled to pronounce on the merits or accuracy of the "excellent system" is tolerably akar; it his cost the shareholders of the Greet Northern a good round stun to arrive at that bowled's, sad we trait that both they sad other railway mentors will sot fail to profit by the costly experience.

The inattnreetiosary movement in Sicily appears to have essimisseed ht the district of Marro* on thin . 211 ad. TM diligence was stopped which pause free Palermo to Catania and Messina. The insur gent. forced the vehicle to return to Pa lermo on its arrival at Caltanizetta. A num ber of insurgents, well armed, took up positions in the neighbourhood of this town, from whence and from the surrounding villages, all the government authorities fled. The insurgents were consequently in possession of a considerable district. The governor of Sicily, Prince Cesteloicala, at his post in Palermo, immediately ordered two battalions of infantry to march towards the districts occupied by the insurgents. These troops were under the com mand of General Guyon, a Swim. The next day, namely, on the 23rd, a large cavalry faros, with light artillery, moved out of Palermo in the same direction. The little army first met the insurgents near Corea, and a few shots were ex• changed, wounding some of the royal troops. The cavalry took eight or ten prisoners, as the insurgents retired into the town of Wain. The royal troops now surrounded the town, and eventually entered it. The despatch does not say if any fighting took place l i on this occasion. The armed insurgents Red from Cefalo, and had taken op positions in various points about the city. The whole surrounding country is in revolt. The Sicilians have broeght to light the arras hidden sines 1848. A despatch from Sicily of the 25th alt. says: " A movement is expected to take plasm in Catania. "Palermo wee to be planed in a Mato of siege. "An insurrection has broken oat at Mangle. The ot7 Is' Long live the Constitution of 1812.' "Swiss troops were expected from Naples." The Paris Notsitour of this day has the following : —"lntelligence has been received from Messina in Sicily of the 29th ultimo. Notwithstand ing the agitation that the news from Pa lermo had produced at Magna, the town was tranquil. The police, however, had taken every precaution. The guards had been doubled and in creased, but no arrests had taken place. The Nea politaa corvette, the Mimes, left Mesita on the 28th for Naples, to fetch 1.000 men and artillery." MR.

Several days previously some shocks of earth. quake was felt throughout the southern districts of the province of Pe-Tehi•Li, and the superstitions terrors of the people were dreadfully ...Red.

The town of Yoc-Tchisg, where it was most violently felt, and several of the neighbouring villages, were reduced to ruins, and some hundreds of people lost their lives.

THE AMNESTY GRANTED IN LOMBARDI The Momitaur of yesterday contains the following despatch from the French ambassador at Vienne, telegraphed the 3rd of December "By a decree, dated yesterday, which has been promulgated at Venial, the Emperor Francis Joseph has jest removed, without any ezoeptioa, the wpm. teatime which bad been imposed co the estates of the Lombard emigrants; and ninety persons who had bssu oondemned in the Italian provisoes for the crimes of treason or of Ma majesti have received a complete amnesty." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. YARN, P,IoAT linutum. A telegraphic despatch from Moods's, dated last night, states, os the authority of a Paris lotus in the Drains Aland, that the Boigrad question will be diddled by the coming Congress in a manner favour able to England and Austria, Austria having " gabbed lover Sardinia to her opinion." Without knowing bow far the Dresden Joon& may have authority for this particular opinion, I have reason to t►ink gene. rally that the epithet "honest Sardinia," which has beat sneeringly echoed by some of the From& papers, Is appropriate under present &ornateness, end that at a pinch England may to a great extent count upon the support of the sabinet headed by Count Wow, even in the face of many opposing influences. But, with regard to this sassed Congrese and its probable lame, it is truly eerier to contrast the language of the French go vernment press with that of the English ministerial journals. In London, they say—einee certain parties are so bent upon • Congress, why should Regina object to one, seeing that it will have no pineal's. to alter the treaty, and that the English geemement will sot consent to any macesavm whist' an by possibility result is giving up Bolgrad MlardsP I. fact, it has been represented that the Congress will only meet in reality foe the purpose of giving a regular form to this abandonment of Raw sin's preposterous pretiasions. Bat the French journals seem to be instructed to protest unequivo cally against this view. The Per, the Coach's. alma, and the Paris all exclaim, with one voice, that all the question. "mmala open," that etch party "retains its own opinion," that there is to be a " die• maim," and that, although there can be no doubt of a satisfactory solution, . the reason is that " all parties are loyal" and disposed to sub mit their " differeogie" to the " decision of the majority." Do the English journals mean to disguise a defeat P—or do the French journals speak as they do in order to eithance the importance of a diplomatie victoey t I should be quite at a lees to answer them questions were it not fees a essehtlea resting on • solid !modality', that, whatever ilrttee. ia may be requisite to go through, Lord Painosetmehgov versant is firmly resolved not to yield upon the 34 Brad gentles.

It Is a new debate that will be copied. a debate which will perhaps be the warmer for hav ing been delayed. It ie probable that oonosesions will be made on each aids. The news of the redaction of its interest by the Bank of England wee not known here daring Bourse hours yesterday—indeed a strong impression prevailed that no change had been made. The telegraphic despatch announcing a reduction of per cent., which was published by the evening papers last night, exercised a favourable influence on the Rents this morning, although it is regretted that the Bank of Francs has adjourned the consideration of a similar measure till next week. The Rents, after opening, with not much buoyancy, at yesterday's Iprice, roes considerably, the quotation tor aocount being at one time 701 r. 10c. This price was not, however, sustained, the point of 70fr. being hotly contested by the "bears." The closing prices were 89fr. 50c. for cub, and 69fr. 95c. for account, the ultimate rise being So. and 20c. Credit Mobilier, after baring been 26fr. higher, lost ground, and closed with a rise of but 2fr. 40c. A good deal of business was done in railway, in the morning, and they closed tolerably firm, with a slight general improvement upon yesterday's closing quotations. The Manileur du Lard announces that Cardinal Morlot, Archbishop of Tours, has gone to Rome, "charged with a highly important mission." New. has reached Paris to-day of the loss of the French aviso Duroc in the East Indian seas. The offioers and crew were saved. The cause of the ca tastrophe is imperfectly known even to the govern ment, and no details have transpired. The Dame was a screw steamer of 4 guns and 120-horse power. DOUBLE MURDER IN YORKSHIRE. —.— ROTHERHAM, FRIDAY Nicur. Another of those terrible crimes which, unhappily, have lately become common, was this morning dia. snored to have been committed at the village of Bolton-upon-Dearoe, 'butt eight miles north of Rotherham. The victims an Luke White, aged GI, sad Elisabeth, his wife, aged 60. The aged couple resided alone, Whit* acting as postmester of the place, sod carrying on the business of a druggist and grocer. The house is in the Tillage street, and consists of a shop with a parlay behind, and also a kitchen on the ground floor. The coo sezion between the shop and the house is by an inner door in the right-hand corner of the atop into a passage; that passage runs sing the back of the shop, and then along the aide of the parlour to the kitchen. Along ono aide at the sad of the shop is the counter, with an opening in it at the angle opposite the door into the passege ; the kitchen is the room in which White and his wife ordinarily Used. White has for some years been a local preacher among the Wesloyans, and of late has been in the habit of sitting up reading till eleven or twelve o'clock at night. He usually closed the shutters and his 'hap at dusk, leaving the door unfastened till about ten. During the evening a lamp burnt upon the counter, and when any customer came in h. would go from the kitchen into the shop, carrying a candle. He was lest seen alive a little before ten o'clock on Thurs. day night by a girl named Swallow, who called to purchase some candles. Oa Friday morning the shop was not opened as until, end a woman named Dawning, who wanted to purchase some articles, tried the door, and found it nese. need. On walking into the shop she was horrified to find White lying dead in a pool of blood at the opening of the counter, which communicates with the inner door. • candlestick Mood upon the counter, with the candle burnt down to the socket. The *ld man's epecteclas lay among the blood on the flier; the oil lamp on the counter bad burnt out. Mn. Downing raised an alarm, and Mr. John Davy and others cams is. It was found that White had been struck about the head and face by some heavy instru ment, which had *dieted tome severe outs. He appeared to have been struck down just as be reached the counter cad set down limped*. Passing into the bean, the body of Hrs. White was fond in the passage just outside the kitchen door. She lay with her bead towards the shop, and a candle and candlestick lay separated, u if they had fallen from her beads. Her death had also been caused by frightful wounds on the head and face, which had bled profusely. On ezamining the shop a cupboard was found to bare been broken open, but whether anything had been taken from it was not apparent. White was in the habit of keep lag his money in a canvas bag in his shop desk, which was found unlocked and the bag empty. There were no marks of violence about it. Oa ezamiciag the pockets of the old man, a sovereign in a leathern purse wu found in his right band trousers pocket, and 16s. 2d. in the lathand pocket. There were no appearances in the upper rooms of the hoses of the drawers, &c., haying been ked, but all were found unlocked. White's brother is not aware whether there was any considerable sum of money in the house. The unstable, whose name happens to be the same se that of the deceased, though no relation, states that be called upon the old man during Thursday evening, and found him sitting on the sofa, with a rag about his shoulders, reading the Bible ;be complained of the cold. When the murders were discovered the Bible was found open on the table and the rug thrown back on the sofa, as if the old man bad arisen from the position in which the tastable saw him to go into the shop The surmise is that, on hearing some person *rites the shop, the old man went there and was struck down by the assassin as soon as he had placed the candle on the .-- ---___ .- counter. His wife, alarmed by the noise, was no doubt going with another candle to the shop, when the murderer met ►er In the pang., and killed her with the same weapon which bad destroyed her bushing. No instrument likely to have been used by the murderer has been found shoat the premien. The aunty colour, Mr. Badger, will communes an [egotist to-morrow. Within three or four miles of the some of this tragedy a cattle-dealer, named Whitaker, woo a few weeks agio way laid, murdered, and robbed of shout 2001., sad as yet no du Ma been obtained to the perp , trator of the outrage. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day ) • Stmpioion points to two men who were seen to enter the village late in the evening of Tnuredey, and the plies are actively engaged in the andearmir ti trace the parties. The shop was not closed until eleyea o'clock. The deceased was considered eccentric in his manner of hominess, but was a most striving and industrious man, and was esteemed by all who knew him. There ran be no doubt that the object wu money, and in all probability they hate have soecceded In seesring some. DRAINERS' SUPPER. Mr. Stott, estate and land agent, of Charing-moss, baying lately employed in the drainage of several estates in the neighbourhood of,Crawley, Sussex, a large number of men, gave 160 of them a supper on Saturday evening lest, ectbree different houses, 86 of them being presided over by himself at the T 'a Inn, Steplefield, near Cuckfield. The estates drained by Mr. Scott in that immolate neigh bourhood are those of D. Drakefcrd, Esq., G. Harrington, Esq., Captain Caselet, and C. Taylor, Esq. He has princi pally employed local labourers in carrying out his works. In the evening Mr. Scot? took the chair, and in his address said—As they had finished their work, he wished to address • few words to them before they parted. He said he had bad 100 Sussex labourers employed under him, and highly complimented them for their readiness and skill ezereieed is the performance of the work. He depended much on the accuracy of his pipelayers, and was pleased to say Onions of the men to employed wag • foetal man (Brie. tow), • trustworthy band, and one be could depend on. He was eoutrinced that deep draining we. 'he this!, • fact that could be seen by the most casual observer who visited those estates where it had been done. A LABOWillit—We bays mu enough, air, to know that deep drainage is the beat. Mr. SCOTT—I thank you for that observation, and I thank you ad for the way in which you have done you work. He wished the labouring men to think ache thought, sad to set strictly up to his instructions, and then they could go on together in nerdy. He thought he could depend on those he now addressed to carry out his work to the letter, for be believed they understood it ; and if they chowto Ilow him, he would endeavour to find them con stant employment. For five montl's in the year their chute of getting work was uncertain; but 11 they came to him they should not want for work, and they knew they could earn good wages. (Cries of °We know that," We will came," and cheers) He bad drained 100 scree for Mr. Taylor, at Ifield, in 16 deg, and many of them were at work than; and he was much pleased to tell them the observe- Hose made by a lady : Mee. Taylor seed—" There labourers of yours act like gentleman. 1 have watched them from my windows, early and late, and haat not wen en impropee action or heard an improper word ; not a man behind his time ; they come orderly end leave orderly ; and there is no going to the public - house at sight." This was much tO their credit, and he was highly gratified to hear ie. The health of Hr. Swett was proposed, and drunk with Mine times three, some excellent remarks being made by • Mower. After doing honour to the health of We. Gard, the laadledy, sad family, the party broke up in good time and is good order. Messrs. E. B. Denison and W. Taylor send an s count to the LIMN of a visit to St. Paul's Cathedral with the object of seeing the bell and the clock. The result of the visit is a strong desire on their put to give Deities to all whom it may concern, that so lung as the exhibition re mains in its present state " they had better cave their eight• ponces and tbeii legs, and shy downstairs."
