MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The Vienna exchange exhibits a further move ment in favour of Austria, the exchange on London having declined yesterday from 126.25 to 125.70. About £B,OOO in gold was bought by the Bank to-clay. About £25,000 in bars and sovereigns have been sent, to Portugal . The cotton market was very inactive to-day, with sales to the amount of only 500 bales. The bar silver brought by the West Inlia packet has been disposed of at 61.1 d. This establishes a decline of Id. from the price realised for the amount 133 the previous steamer, in consequence of a dimi nution in the demand for Bombay. The Mexican dollars are not vet sold. The current New York advices contain a full statement of the exportation of grain and flour from the United States to Europe during the corn - mercial year from Sept. 1, 1861, to Sept. 1, 1862. From this it appears that the total quantity of wheat and flour sent to the United Kingdom in the twelve months was equal to 5,000,500 qrs., or about 2 per cent. in excess of the previously unparalleied total of the year ending Sept. 1, 1861. This amount is n early th ree t i mes as hi g h as th e hi g h es t attained darin g . any of the previous 14 years, the total even in the memorable season of 1846 and 1847 having been only 2,604,000 qrs. The average of the 16 commercial years ending the Ist inst. was 1,676,500 qrs. The shipments to the Continent this year have amounted to 1,367,782 qrs., against 925,000 q r s. in 1861.. The Continental accounts extend over O nly eight years, and the average for that space has been 4 70,000 qrs. per annum. Of Indian corn the s hipments to the United Kingdom for the present Year have been 1,586,000 qrs., which is also nigher th an on any former occasion with the exception of the famine year of 1816-47, when Ireland was c hiefly supplied with that grain, and the total was 2,145,000 qrs. The average of Indian corn shipped to the United Kingdom during 16 years has been 7 84,000 qrs. The quantities of this grain sent to the Continent have been unimportant. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money is not very active, but a steady business is nevertheless reported, and the dealers and discount houses show a disposition to ask rather higher terms for the business they ne gotiate. Superior descriptions of commercial bills, however, are still taken freely at 1 o per cent. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and about 2-10ths per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. Notice hai been given that tenders for bills of exchange on India for the sum of 38,00,000 rupees 'will be received until the Ist proximo. The first annual meeting of the East Del Rey Mining Company will take place on the 2d prox. A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. is announced by the Protector Endowment Loan and Annuity Company. Two O'CLOCK. The half-yearly meeting of the London General Omnibus Company took place to-day. The report of the directors states that the result of the opera tions for the past six months is more satisfactory than, that of any corresponding half-year. The receiptE exceed those of 1861 by £16,787 16s. ld., and the expenses were £7,280 13s. 4d. less than in the same period of last year. The net profit of the six months is given at £24,289 Os. 6d. This increase of the profit is partly attributable to the traffic occasioned by the International Exhibi tion ; but, independently of this, it is stated that the returns for the months previous to the opening of the Exhibition show a large increase in com parison with the corresponding dates. The direc tors also anticipate to place before the shareholders at their next financial meeting a report which will Show that the company's affairs are highly sound and satisfactory. Although very little business has been transacted to-d a y in the 31arket for the English Funds, a 'few speculative sales have been effected, which have caused slight heaviness. Consols are 93 for money, and 931 ',I, for the account. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been moderat e ly act i ve . E g ypti an L oan is flat, at 9I ; ditto, 2d issue, at 891 90; Mexican at 314 ; Moorish remain at 931; Russian 5 per Cents. are 954 ; ditto New Loan, 941 ; Spanish Passive have been rather actively dealt in at 211 to 22. The Certificates are firm at 101; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1 854, 851 86; ditto, 1858, 681; ditto New Loan Scrip, 11 1 die., and the CoLsolides 371 I. In the Railway Share Market the operations hav e been very restricted, and the few dealings entered into have been at a slight decline. North Western and South Western have receded 55., and North British 10s. ; Great Westerns, Midlands, and South Easterns continue at about previous quota tions. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings, in some instances, exhibit more firmness. South Austrian and Lombardy realise 22; B thia and San Fran cisco, 201 ; Great Western of Canada have improved to 121 ; and Great Indian Peninsula to 104/. Joint Stock Bank and Miscelianeoxs shares re mained without material change in prices. The shares of the Cambrian Gold Mining Co. are steady at I to s prem., and shares of the Royal Forest of Dean are quoted toe prem. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK, 3 per Cent.

SENTENCE ON THE PRISONER. 104 i 12f i THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1862. THE ROUPELL FORGERIES. Contrary to previous arrangement, Mr. Roupell, against whom two true bills for forgery had been found, was brought up this morning for the purpose of pleading guilty, and withdrawing his refusal to plead when arraigned on Monday last. On the learned judge taking his seat, Mr. Clark, with whom was Mr. Besley, said there were two indictments against a person named William Roupell, the one of forging will and the other for forging a deed, to which the prisoner had refused to plead, and a plea had been entered, by order of the Court, of not guilty. The learned judge then directed the prisoner to be placed at the bar to plead. Mr. Roupell then entered the dock with a very firm step, and took up his position in the centre of the bar. Mr. Hemp, the Deputy Clerk of Arraigns, then called upon the prisoner, and asked him whether he was desirous o.f withdrawing his refusal to plead. The prisoner bowed assent. Mr. Hemp—Do you plead guilty. The prisoner, in a clear voice, said, " Guilty." The learned Judge then ordered him to be called upon for judgment, when OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ISLEWORTH MURDER. The trial of Cooper, who stands indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, has been postponed until next session. It is understood that Mr. Digby Seymour will defend the prisoner, THIRD COURT. LIBEL..--MR. GRAY'S CASE. Shortly after two o'clock Mr. Gray, who last night was found guilty of publishing a libel against a gentleman named Phillips, was called upon, to surrender for judg ment. The Common Sergeant having gone through the facts of the case, said he thought the libel complained of exceeded the liberty which ought to be allowed. He then sentenced Mr. Gray to pay a fine of £5O, and to be imprisoned until the money be paid. POLICE---THIS DAY. WESTMINSTER.

BANKS. truTsthefporrisoynoeurr a u dd u r b e i s a s s e s d ed the op C in ou io r u t,. an l d said—My lord, I ani saying a f ew words before you proceedestrms of to pass sentence. I have to regret any inconvenience I may have occasioned by my declining to plead; it was my desire to have prevented any inconvenience, but I did not expect to be brought here until this morning. My purpose has never swerved from the first, when I resolved to give myself up and plead guilty. My lord, my life has been one of fearful vicissitude. In truth, I suffered great privation. At the age of twenty-one I contracted my first debt with a friend, with whom I was connected by the most intimate ties, my relations would not advance the money to pay that debt, and my friend fell into grievous pecuniary difficulties, and I could not pay the demand I owed. It was then I risked my soul, and took the first step in crime. What ever I have done the guilt is mine alone. True, I have to bear the brunt of it, but the guilt, I repeat, is mine alone. I cast no blame on any one—l allude to those pro fessional gentlemen with whom I have had extensive trans actions. There is no truth that I endeavoured, under the influence of family instinct, to provide for the members of my family at the expense of others. Such a supposition, my lord, I submit, carries on the face of it its own refutation. It is true that my father, just before he died, really ex pressed to me—in whom, after the great fraud I committed, he reposed confidence—it is true that he expressed a desire that I should take all his property and pay to the members of his family annuities such as he described to me. I was prevented by my first crime from carrying his wishes into legal effect ; and at that time I felt justified by forging the will of 1856, and adopt ing the will of 1850, to carry out my father's last wishes as they were expressed to me. I say I thought then I was justified. I don't think so now. Ruin has been the result. Ido not say now that ruin has been consummated. It would take too long to relate, my lord, how I have been ruined. I have written at great length the story of my life whilst I have been in rrison ; but, upon reflection, I have been convinced that, it published, it would cause unneces sary pain to others and be of no public good. I have, therefore, entirely, at my own instance, suppressed it. I must content myself, therefore, by simply stating that the accounts which have been given to the public from the remarks of Mr. Sergeant Shee at Guild ford, and the comments of the minor newspapers, are calculated only to mislead the public. lam a living paradox, my lord, and no one has a clue to the solution of it. I cannot hope I shall ever be understood. It is not true, my lord, that I am personally extravagant. Ido not argue, I simply state the fact. It is not true that I have gambled. It is not true that lam a libertine. Those who do not wish to believe will probably remain unconvinced. To those who love me my statement is unnecessary. I tried hard, my lord, to bring about a compromise of these terrible events before I left England. I felt that my first duty was not to my family, but. to those persons who had entrusted me with their money on reliance on my honour and the representations I had made. I cot.fessed the whole of my great faults before I left England to a gentleman who had the means of making it known to all the persons interested in my mortgages. I remained in England more than a week or ten days after the confession. I offered to surrender. I said, I confess my guilt. I have made no provision. I wish only to retrieve the past. I said to them, " What are you going to do f" 1 was answered "We don't believe your statement. We think it is a cleverly concocted tale to provide for your family, and if the members of your family move one inch we will indict them with you for conspiracy." It was only then that I surrendered the hope of bringing about a compromise which would have confined the loss entirely to the members of my own family. I quitted England in despair. I gained time for reflection, and,unpinched by want, full of youth and strength and the capacity of enjoying life such as many parts of the world would have afforded me, I have returned a self-convicted criminal, led by sincere reflection and a desire to serve the ends of jus tice. I know what I have expect. A terrible fate awaits me—terrible to any man of education and refine ment, but if I possessed those qualities my guilt is only the greater. I know, my lord, what I have been. I expect it is a dreadful fate, but I have looked at it calmly in the face, and I deliberately prefer penal servitude for life to existence in continual disguise, concealment and positive remorse. I make no appeal for mercy, my lord. I only ask you to believe in my sincere repentance, and my only desire is that justice—complete juetice—may be done. I appeal only to that still higher tribunal for mercy—that tribunal where alone an appeal for pardon can be justly made. My lord, I await my sentence. This address was made with the coolest self-possession, and the manner in which the prisoner spoke was dignified and earnest. There was not the slightest quiver of the lip, or the least sign of hesitation. Every sentence was well weighed, and the address from beginning to end was quite an extraordinary effort for a person in the situation of the prisoner, one who had fallen from a high position to ne of the most degraded. The learned Judge, who seemed deeply moved by the address of the prisoner, said—William Roupell, you have pleaded guilty to two charges of forgery the forgery of a will, and the forgery of a deed—two of the most serious circumstances known to the law. From the dock in which you now stand many a poor wretch wooso crimes in comparison with yours were venial and insignificant, has gone to the gallows. The humanity of the legislature has removsd from these crimes the last penalty of the law. You have observed in the course of the remarks you have made that your whole life has been a serious and fearful mistake. I believe it. That mistake consisted first, in the absence of that perfect rectitude of intention which is the only safe guide in human life. The man who deviates from it takes the first step in a decli%ity which leads to a precipice, and he soon finds that to stand still is impossible—to retreat certain ruin, and to advance destruction. You say that your conduct at the late assize, and your con duct to-day, is the result of a sincere though late repent ance. Whether you speak the truth or not there is none but one that knows—but there is One. The law has en trusted to judges, and properly entrusted them, owing to the circumstances which diversify the cases, the applica tion of punishment. But in this case, in which you must be aware—and you have properly stated that you are aware —it is impossible, with a view to the interests of the public, that any mercy should be extended to you. I have there fore to inform you that the sentence of the court is that you be kept in penal servitude for the term of your natural I life. Mr. Itoupell heard the sentence pronounced with the greatest composure. As the judge uttered the terrible words he never moved a feature. On leaving the dock he bowed politely to the judge, and making a faint recognition to some of his friends whom he saw in court, he left the court in the custody of the attendant warder. As the prisoner had been placed very unexpectedly at the bar, the court was not more fully attended than usual, but immediately it became known in the other courts and the lobbies the place became crowded to suffocation, A serious accident occurred a few days since in the tunnel now being cut through Mount Cenis. A num ber of masons at work on a scaffold, making an arch to sup port the roof of the tumult were precipitat e d to the ground by the fall of about 60 cubic metres of earth and stone. One of them was seriously hurt, and three others were buried under the rubbish, and little hope remains of extricating them alive, Sarah Dimbleby said she was employed in the French Gallery, where she had the charge of several cases. Last evening she was covering up the things previous to leaving the building, when she saw the prisoner lurking about in a very suspicious manner, and from this reason watched him and saw him look at several cases. A policeman passed him twice, and after he had watched him away she ■aw him take the roll of cloth produced, (a specimen of St. Quentier manufacture), double it up, and punting it under his coat walk away. She pursued him, and seizing him by the collar, said, " Young man, give me back that cloth, it's my master's property." lie said nothing, but gave it up, and calling a policeman she gave him in charge. The police-constable James Leech, 412 X, to whom the prisoner was given in charge, proved finding upon him the cap and collar. The woman Dimbleby identified the cap and collar as part of the property she had charge of. All the three arti cles had been stolen from different cases. M. Henrie Laseneur said he was the representative of several French departments in the International Exhibition, and had under his charge upwards of £20,000 worth of pro perty. Articles were constantly disappearing from the French Court, and these were under his charge. The evidence having been interpreted to the prisoner who said he knew nothing whatever about the affair, he was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MR. WILSON VISITS THE HAYMARKET—AND ASSAULTS THE POLICE.-Mr. Walter Wilson, of Cowes, Isle of Wight, gentleman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, using obscene language, and assaulting John Harris, 304 A. Harris said—At a quarter past 2 o'clock this morning, while in the Haymarket, he saw the defendant, who was drunk and using obscene language. He advised him to go away, when he forced himself into a night-house doorway, but was refused admission. The defendant then commenced beating the door with his stick, and on telling him that it could not be permitted he gave him (witness) a blow in the chest which sent him reeling. He got assistance and took the defendant into custody, and on getting into Piccadilly the defendant knocked him and two other constables down, and then held him (Harris) down by the hair of his head and scratched his face. Other evidence having been given, _ . The defendant said he certainly was drunk. He had come from the country, and had been dining with some friends. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s. or a month, stat ing that it was a pity to see a gentleman do such a thing. A BAGPIPER CHARGED WITH INCITING A CHILD TO Buct.—John Keepe, a bagpiper, was charged with inciting a little girl six years of age to beg. The prisoner was seen by Nathan Leech, 324 A, the previous night sending the child after gentlemen for the purpose of begging. In one case she came back without any money,when the prisoner gave her a slap on the head. The prisoner then sent her after another gentleman, and she was more successful, and brought back some coppers which she gave to the prisoner. The constable then hav ing cautioned the prisoner several times not to visit Regent .street, took him into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the constable said the prisoner had his bagpipes with him, but had not been playing them. Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoner that his picturesque dress was all got up. He called himself a bagpiper, and he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) had no deubt that he could play a little, and that was all—his object being to beg and to screw what he could from people with the aid of the child. Committed for a month with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. BREAKING AN OMNIBUS WlNDOW.—Charles Stevens, described as a horsekteper at a cab yard in thb Dover Road, was charged with breaking a window of one of the General Omnibus Company's carriages, and Mr.. Hudson, the ma nager of the company, attended to prosecute. Henry William Holmes said that last night, about half past ten, the omnibus of which he was conductor was standing near the clock tower at London-bridge, and he noticed the prisoner and a woman, who were quarrelling in the road. The latter said something to the prisoner, on which he took up a stone and deliberately flung it at one of the side windows, through which it passed. The stone, which he produced, was afterwards found inside the om nibus. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, denied the charge. Witness said that immediately the prisoner flung th e stone the woman remarked, " You have done it now." The wife of the prisoner, who was the woman with whom he had beet quarrelling the previous night, denied that her husband threw the stone. 33 M proved to having taken the prisoner into custody, and the woman merely said he had been very quarrelsome. Mr. Hudson said the company had to pay as much as £3OO a-year for damage done to the windows of their carriages. The prisoner was sentenced to pay 20s. damages, and is. fine, or be imprisoned for one month, and not being able to pay the money, he was removed to the cell. THAMES. A REGULAR WIFE BEATER.—Charles Lane, a labourer, of 34i Stracey •street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting his wife, Ann Lane, who presented herself in the witness-box with one eye blackened and swollen, and her face bruised. The complainant said she had been married to the pri soner two years, and he had ill-used her at intervals ever since. Three weeks after her wedding he knocked her down and beat her. He implored her forgiveness, and she did look over his brutality, on promise of better behaviour. Two months ago he beat her and gave her a black eye. Last night she went out on a visit to a lady, and expected her husband to meet her and take her home, but he did not do so, and when she got home she merely asked him why he had not met her, on which he abused her and applied ill epithets towards her, and when she remonstrated with him, he commenced kicking and ill using her. In trying to es cape from him, he got her arm between her room door and the door post, and kept it there some time. She was obliged to cal for the police to prevent further violence. Henry Wilmot, police-constable, No. 495 K, said he was called upon to take the prisoner into custcdy, and that he behaved with great violence. The prisoner put out his leg and threw him, and made his escape. He captured the prisoner a second time, and, atter a good deal of struggling, secured him. The prisoner said he would be his wife's butcher, and that if she caused him to be punished he would take her life directly he came out of prison. The prosecutrix was bleeding very much last night and was greatly agitated. The prisoner, in defence, said be did beat his wife and was greatly provoked by her. Both were possessed of very bad tempers, and it would never do for a man and his wife to have the same infirmity. The young ladies in the house told his wife, but her tongue would not be quiet. Mr. Selfe was satisfied the prisoner had beaten his wife in a very savage manner. He sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, and at the expiration of that time to find good sureties to keep the peace and be of good behaviour towards his wife and all her Majesty's subjects for six months, A LEGEND OF F ALKENSTElNe—Falkenstein is not without its own share of romantic tales. A knight of Sayn, as the story goes, once loved a young lady of the Falkenstein family. The father would not consent to the match excepting on the condition that the knight should make by the next day a convenient road to the castle which was only to be approached by a stiff climb before. t While the hopeless lover was wandering about at twilight, a mountain spirit appeared to him, and offered to road in question on condition that he would putt stop to certain mining operations in a country bited by the Gnomes.

We drove through a porte-cochere into a large open court, on one side of which hung a curtain similar to those at the entrance of Roman Catholic churches. As soon as we had got out of the carriage ; a tall black man appeared, handed us up the steps, and let the curtain drop behind us. At this moment, three or four female slaves arrived, with large glass lanterns, a nd us h ere d us up a l ong stair case into a passage; in either hand were small rooms, in which were other slaves, some embroidering others smok ing, or crouched asleep on the ground. This passage led into a magnificent marble hall, the centre of which was lighted by a lofty dome, and the four sides formed alcoves, round which ran a low divan. Here the slaves dis encumbered us of our wraps, and we proceeded through more passages and staircases, some of them open to the air, then through several large rooms, with only the usual divan for furniture ; most of them were entered by a low step, down one or two of which I slipped. I tegan to think we should never reach the en chanted spoz, when signs of habitation, in the shape of a mul • Situde of red and yellow slippers, showed themselves. Two more rooms, and a heavy damask was pushed aside, and we entered a large apartment, at the further end of which was a divan, on which sat two ladies, both young, and one very handsome. They were the two married daughters of Natee Pacha; the tallest and handsomest was the widow of Shereef Pacha's eldest son, the richest proprietor, not of the royal family, in all Egypt, She had lost her husband a few months ago, and on his death had returned to her father's house. They both rose at our entrance, shook hands with us, put their hands to their foreheads, and finally made us sit down by them. As I had come unannounced, they were in their home neglige, which I was very glad of. The widow was in a dress of deep red Broussa gauze, and her sister in a pink and white print. For coiffure they wore a Stamboul crape:kerchief, covering the top of the head and part of the torehead ; the ends are brought back and tied in front ' - the hair is cut short, and is eithe r b ra id e d or h angs down to the ears. One slave girl had a long plait down the back, but that is no longer the fashion—in fact, they cut off nearly all their hair for the convenience of the bath, and almost all the braids are false. After a few inquiries had been made as to who I was, how many children I had, and what I thought of Eastern man ners, the widow began showing us her dress, which she said was a new stuff just come from Stamboul. I told her j I had been there, and had seen the material ; I did not say that it was four years ago. By this time cigarettes and chafing-dishes had been brought us, and the room, large as it was, seemed more than half filled with slaves, standing, sitting, or crouching in different positions on the ground, or on the low divan which ran down the two sides of the room. A table on which stood some candelabra with lights, and a sort of sideboard over which hung a large mirror, completed the furniture. On either side of the mirror was a cupboard, in the doors of which were in serted panels of carved wood. The walls were glazed white, and round the top ran a border, painte d with al unto of impossible trees, houses, and flowers. A nice little! boy, about five years old, who was running about, soon became very friendly; he was the sou of the younger sister, a fat little girl, who was also brought in to see us. The boy was dressed in a white blouse, full white trousers, and the usual crimson tarboosh ; the girl in a blue jacket and trousers, but her tarboosh was embroidered in gold and pearls. Her nurse returned again with her in a few minutes, carrying over her head a blue silk parasol, which her mother, the widow, took and gazed at with almost as much pride as at her child. I asked how long the boy would be allowed to be present when they received female visitors, and was told till he was eight years old, after which a woman would be considered immodest who per mitted him to see her face unveiled.--Once a Week. A DISAPPOINTMENT. (From Punch ) It was thought that at length there was a change in the American telegrams, and that we were going to hear of a Federal success. The wire brought the following words:— " General lifflellan has taken —" Then came a hitch, but the spirits of the friends of the North went up, and the Morning Star began a beautiful article of triumph. At last the wire got right again, and. added— " The Field ! " Whereat the Morning Star puts its beautiful article into its pocket until further notice. However, things might have been much worse, for though we did not expect the gallant (and ill-used) M'Clellan to take Richmond, he might have taken some Snore of his favourite homeopathic medicines.
