THE DOUBLE MURDER Er A SOLDIER AT ALDERsHOTT. —THE EXECUTION. —(THIS DAY.) This morning at 8 u'cl..ek, at the county prison, Winchester, the wretched man, James Johnson, expiated the crime of which be was found guilty at the but Winches ter assize.. vie., the wilful murder of Sergeant Chipte and Corporal Coles at Aldershott Barracks. On the '29th of November last the criminal was at the permanent barracks sitlershiet, having beau punished by Chipts, a lance ear. pant iu the 41st Regiment, for disobedience of urdem le the cremes the two victims were sitting at a table playing at backgammon, there term several other men watching the game. The murderer was a few feet behind the sergeant, standing near his own cot, apparently cleaning his ride, when suddenly the report of a ride was heard, and the smoke was seen as just having proceeded from the ride of the culprit, he holding it •,, , nliost his hip. The ball from the ride entered the back of the unfortunate Sergeant Chipte, just under the right bladebone, and poring through him, came out in the centre of the chest, and then penetratedthe breast of Coles, causing instant death. The words used by the murderer left to doubt of his intention to kill Chipts. The bullet passed out at poor Coles' back, and 'truck against and broke a ride leaning against the wall near the spot. The mi serable man through the whole proceedings since the commis. non of the crime has simulated insanity. The medical testi mony has been clear on the point that though the culprit is* man of very excitable temperament there was no real symp tom of aberration of mind. He has been in a low and de sponding state up to Friday last, when he became appa rently more resigned to his fate, although maintaining a very reserved demeanour. O Sunday week be attended di vine service in the chapel forth, first time since his conviction. The wretched man also attended service in the chapel on Sunday last. He retired to rest at twelve o'clock last night, having been reading until that time. He was somewhat rest) es during the night, but arose at five o'clock this morning, when the rev. chaplain attended him. The under. sheriff, Br. T. B. Woodman, arrived at the gaol at a quarter past seven, and shortly afterwards Cakraft and the prison officials entered the cell. The unhappy man bore the pro cess of pinioning with much firmness, and as the clock struck eight the mournful processien moved towards the fatal drop, the Rev. Mr. Rogers praying, and the culprit joining with great apparent fervency. On arriving at the gallows Calcraft quickly adjusted the noose, and the miserable man was launched into eternity. The condemned being of slight and short stature the fell was arranged longer than usual, and death ensued almost instantaneously. The morning was very wet and stormy, but upwards of 3,000 persons were present. This morning the culprit told the chaplain that the rifle was loaded only a few minutes before the shot was fired ; but it was not dke with intent to kill the Sergeant Chipta, but only to disable him. He strongly denied to the last that the threats deposed to at the trial bad been uttered by him. The unhappy man has a mother and aster in Ireland, but they are nut supposed to be aware of the awful fate of their relative. The last words of the criminal before reaching the drop were beseeching chaplain to comfort his mother and sister, and tell them he drab penitent JIB. W. J.

A recovery of 1 per cent. has taken place. The speech delivered this day by the Emperor of the French is awaited with great interest. British railway stocks show a rally of to g per cent. A fresh fall has occurred in the stock of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. To-day is a holiday on the Paris Bourse. Consols are officially marked 921, j, and div., for the account. The present quota tion is 921 to I. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 231 ; Three per Centel., 92, ; New Three per Cents., 921, 92} ; India Five per Cent. stock, for account, 1011, ex div.; ditto Bonds, fis. dia. ; Exchequer Bills, 45., 3e. dia., par. Turkish Bonds are rather firmer ; the loan of 1854 is quoted 704 to 714, and that of 1868, 56} to 574. Mexican remain flat. Sales are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1880, 86 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 21f, ; Peruvian llribarren Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 82, ex dir. ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 921, ex div. ; Sardinian Five per Cents., 824, 83 ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., 401, 1, ex div.; Turkish Six per Cents., 1858, 56f, 57. _ _ . . _. The steamer Great Britain ham arrived from Melbourne with 118,560 ounces of gold, worth 474,0001. The Magdalena has reached Lisbon from Brazil with 27,7261. in specie. Exchequer Bills were not affected by the rise in the Bank rate of discount, being quoted 4s. di& to par. Support is derived from purchases on behalf of companies now applying to parliament, which have to deposit with government 10 per cent. on the amount of their capital. The total amount re quired is computed at 600,0001. or 700,0001. (not a cypher less, as erroneously printed in this day's im pression) ; but no effect is yet produced upon the money market, because the deposit need not be lodged until the 15th. A fall of Lto per cent took place in Turkish Bonds, the ptian Loan closing at 701 to 1, and that secured on the r e v enues o f C ons t an ti nop l e at 561 to 1. Mexican Bonds w ere flat, at 211 to 1. Other foreign stocks were dull. Buenos Ayres Deferred, however, remain very steady. In the market for bank shares to-day the only variation was a decline of 1/. in City Bank. Royal Mail Steam shares were flatter. The miscellaneous share market was quiet. Victoria Government Bonds were rather flat to-da y. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Bonds were dealt in to-day on the Stock Exchange at 77. The closing quotations for shares in new under. takings to-day were as follow :—Ocean Marine In surance, 31 to 4 prem. ; Thames and Mersey Marine, 1 3-16 to 5-16 prem. ; Universal Marine La. suranoe, 1 1-16 to 13.16 prem. • London and Pro. vincial Marine, par ; East Indi a Irrigation, 3-16 to 1-16 dis. ; East India and London Shipping, to Prom MINES.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Cwc. The mining market to-day is quiet. Tiletiansao. tiona have been principally confined to shares ia Wheal Margaret, North Trelawney, Old Tolgoe, Wheal Buller, Alfred Consols, Par Consols, and West Wendron Consols. Prices have scarcely varied. The Ardville, which left Canton on the 19th July for England, is on shore near Boulogne. Her cargo, consisting mostly of tea, is much damaged. There are inquiries for General Xining (Nova Scotia) and Great Northern Copper (South Australia) shares ; the former have been dealt in at 22k, and the latter at f prem. The suddenness of the measure taken yester day by the Bank, though occasioning no alarm whatever, took many people by surprise. It is urged in many quarters that these frequent varia tions are likely to be productive of injury ; that the Bank would have done better had they refrained from lowering their charge a month ago from 6 to 5, in the face of adverse accounts from America ; and that in any case they would have better prepared the public mind for the present step had they moved from 5 to ti per cent, on Thursday last, instead of startling the community by leaping from 5t060n an unusual day. The general pro priety of the purely defensive measure just adopted appears to be admitted ; for, although the good effect which has evidently been produced in Ame rica by the receipt of the 108,5001. in specie by the Europa encourages very hopeful anticipations of the impulse which will probably be given by the arrival of the much larger sums since trans mitted from this aide, there are features nearer home which must not be overlooked. Apart from the heavy pressure upon them for discounts and loans, the Bank have doubtless been influenced by the significant decline in the French funds, a movement which is known to arise more from financial than from poli tical apprehensions. No radical improvement appears to have taken place either in the general position or in the policy of the Bank of France, who, it is feared, are but sowing the seeds of future difficulty in refraining from the only prudent action possible under existing dr raising their rate of interest. i—that of At the Devon New Copper Mine meeting , the accounts showed a balance in hand of 1," and as ex cess of wets over liabilities el about 4,0001. The Dale Mine accounts, presented at the meeting yeller. day, showeillteredit balance el 466/. From North Wheal Exmouth (Dec. 22) Capt. W. Skswia writes : The mine is progressing very satlefactorily. The ground In the crosscut west from &Bete, eosins shalt looks well for the production of lead ores. The branch el lead met with in the crewcut sat from the whin shaft in much the same as stated in my last report, and we shall sample about 4 tons of lead in the courses( a Indoor two. i The ship is expected in a day or two for the lest parcel of , lead, and I am expecting is hear in the erase of s post or so as to a ship for the blends" From Bortridge Consols (Dec. 23) Captain J. ftiatisrder • writes :—" engine shaft : In the 110, both mat: and west, the lode is from Z to 3 feet wide, and confute of quarts, =lndic, and occasionally good stones el ore. Intim ' 96 east the lode is 21 feet wide,of the same cheeseter se that described above. In the 62 west the lode is 2 feet wide, ' and yields gorsl stones of ore. In the 50 set, on So. 2 south lode, the lode in 18 inoheswkle, end oonsiffile of quirts, mundic, patch, and a little ore. In the 40 test, on No. 2 south lode, the drivage is by the side et the lode. The ground is favourable. No lode bas been Won down is either the winse below or the rime in the Mak of the 40 on No. 2 south lode. The lode in the stop's: in the back of the 40, on No. 2 south lode, west of Barkell's Dies, is worth 2. tons, and to the east of Barkell's rise 3 taw el ore per fathom. In the 30 east, on No. 2 south lode, the lode is 18 inches wide, and Tields good stones of ore. From Treucrom Mine (Dec. 27), Captains B. Hollow and F. Bennett report :—" In Giesler's engine shaft sinking , below the 80 the lode is worth 61. per fathoms. In the 90 east of the engine shaft the lads is worth 81. per fathom. In the winze sinking below the 70 east of the engine shaft the lode is unproductive. In the 70 east of the engine shaft the lode is worth 41. per fathom. In the 60 east and west of the crewcut, north-east of the engine shaft, the lode is of a promising character. In the 60 crewcuts, north and south, east of the engine shaft, there is no chaoge to notice. In the 40 east of the engine shaft the lode is worth 31. per fathom. In the 30 east of the engine shaft the lode is split, and not to value. In Hollow's abaft sinking below the 10, the lode is worth 31.105. per fathom. In the 10 eadf Hol low's shaft the lode is worth 31. per fathom. In chell's fiat rod shaft, sinking below the 10, the lode is worth V. per fathom." The demand for money yesterday was of the pressing character usual on the last day of the year, when a great number of payments have to be made, whilst every person engaged in business draws asfew cheques as possible, acting upon the fallacious assump tion that be will stand the better with his banker if he accumulates a large balance on this day. No business was done in any quarter below 6 per cent.; and at the Bank of England, as might have been expected from the exceptional nature of the day's business, the applications were very heavy. An active demand will probably be experienced during the whole of the present week, as a large amount of mercantile bills are about to fall due. The Lombard-street discount houses and the National Discount Company have raised their rates from 4 to 41 per cent. for money at call, and from 4/ to 5 per cent at a few days' notice. The London joint-stock banks have also raised their rates for deposits from 4to 4}. The London and Westmin ster Bank, however, give only 3i per cent, for sums below 500 i., whilst the Commercial allow bon old deposits. It will be noticed that the old plan of allowing 1 per cent. below the Bank rate of dis count, no matter to how high a point it might be moved, is now abandoned. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. MINCING LANE : -(THIfI DAY.) Sulu& —The public market has opened for the year with a steady appearance, at the piton ruling previous to the holidays. The public auctions today consist of West India. A fair amount of business bas been done during the huh. d•ya Refined common grocery lumps firm, at 51s. &L Corru.—There has not been a public sale to-day, but the article has a steady appearance.

At Vienna on Saturday there was a fresh fall of It per cent. in the Austrian funds. About 44,000/. in bar gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for transmission to Spain. The Seine has arrived from the West Indies with 400,0001. in specie, and the Saxon* from New York, with 9,00 N. The latter sum is on French account. TALLOW MARKET.—{THIS DAY.) The market is quiet to-day, at the following prices : Petersburg Y.C. on the spot. 00.. ; Jan. to March, 60s. ; March. 60s. 3d. ; April to June, 58s. 6d. ; Oct. to Dan, 575. 6d. The delay in the arrival of the later and anxiously expected advices from New York is ex plained by the severe character of the weather in the Atlantic, as experienced by the steamers which have Just come over. Notwithstanding the rise in the value of money, the Liverpool cotton market is reported by tele graph as firm, but the sales yesterday have dimi nished to 8,000 bales. The settlement fixed for yesterday in the tallow market appears to have gone of quietly. The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,1671., and the South Eastern a decrease of 1741. The trail; receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending Dec. 8 were 14,5581. sterling, being 3,9101. more than for the cor responding week of last year.

Alexandre Watt.- mare. invented a very simple pLui, but one which hail pre viously occurred to no one ; he invited the public libraries to give their duplicates in exchan,p fur books they did not possess. This idea was taken up m France ; a committee of exchange was appointed, counseling of Messrs. Ifikrinffsi, de Loon:wider, Guessard, Littri, and other learned polista. Upon their report, the Minister of Public Instruc tion has just ordered that exchanges shall take place between the Imperial library and the bfaxarine, that of the Arsenal. Saint Genevieve, and the Sorbonne. A cabinet of prints will be introduced at the libraries of the Arsenal and Saint Genevieve, and increased by the duplicates of the Imperial library ; b ut the last-named will take from the collections of its two helpmates the copies of works that it does not posses itself. A Sebastopol correspondent of the Lerant Herald, writing on the 7tb, says : ' It will doubtless be interesting to some of your readers to learn that Colonel Gowee, whose name has so frequently and honourably been mentioned in connexion with the British burial grotto& in the erimea, has lately been presented with a handsome gold snuff-box, bearing the following inscription, in acknowledgment of his disinterested services in repairing the different cemeteries : —' Presented by the British Government to Colonel Gwen, in acknowledgment of his services in preserving the British Cemeteries at Sebastopol, September, 1860.'—It is indeed gratifying to learn that the British government has taken this step, and when it is coneklered that Colonel Gowen has also repaired the different cemeteries of the Preach, Sardi nians, and Turks, it is to he presumed that these respective governments will not he backward in following the examples alreadv set them. and will not fail to present some testi. monialto the warm-hearted colonel who has protected the graves of those gallant men who died fighting for the inde pendence of Torte, ." 31e - egras or PATLWTS SOUTH Kmearxrrrox Number of visitors for the week endiu; Dee. 29, 3,9401.
