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

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'OLovit.

The funds to-day are firmer, owing partly to the
arrival of nearly half a million of gold from Aus-
tralia. 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 revenues of Constantinople at
561 to 1. Mexican Bonds were 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-day.
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 India 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.

From Bortridge Consols (Dec. 23) Captain J. ftiatisrder•
writes :—" engine shaft : In the 110, both mat:

quarts, =lndic, and occasionally good stones el ore. Intim '

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

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.

tion Company (Limited) are requirei to prove their
claims in the Court of Bankruptcy on the 9th of
