Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq. This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicin e to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressin,g cases that daily present themselves.

TimEs.—•The veteran Londoner, wile has learnt patience and meekness from long years of disap pointment, will peruse with a melancholy smile Mr. Bass's protest against organ-grinding in the House of Commons lest night. There must be much fresh ness of spirit and hope in any one who believes it possible that we can be ever rescued from our tor mentors. The man must have a geed msmory for distant events who can recollect when the first in dignant outcry was made against the disturbers of the public peace, and in those days they were few and far betweeu. A. Buy a-broom, or Jim Crow, or an old-fashioned organ ornamented with little rotating figures was the worst inveder of the in valid's or student's quiet. But now every street or square of dwelling-houses resounds from morn ing till night with the crash of German bands, the rattle of niggers' "bones," the melancholy drawl of women and children pre tending to sing something, sacred or sentimental. Nebuchadnezzar himself could not have brought to gether such a variety of extraordinary instruments as may be heard within a few hours by a gentleman seated in his own library in a London house. It may be that some day outraged humanity will revolt, and London householders, headed by Mr. Babbage, will take vengeance on their persecutors ; but that time has not yet come, and to look for a remedy from Parliament is only the delusion of a simple and sanguine mind. But if we must still endure all that these terrible melodists can inflict, there is a better hope with regard to a class of nuisances which, though very old, and having, of course, many warm friends, have been boldly attacked during the present session. We speak of those which it is the object of the London (City) Traffic Regulation Bill to remove. It need not be said that things must have become very bad indeed when the most conservative and immovable of Corporations felt it necessary to interfere. Perfectly content with itself and things in general, the City Corporation has not been able to bear any longer the anarchy and Confusion of its own streets. The s t a t e o f th e !thoroughfares from 9 to 5 daily, and particularly eowards the hours when the morning and evening tides of vehicles flow to and from the City, is such that the business of the community is seriously impeded. What is exceptional in other cities at the time of some great pageant or solemnity is the normal state or London, particularly in the thoroughfares which converge on the Bank. There is every day something equivalent to an Alexandra procession; every day witnesses a state of things which no police can control or bring into order. Much of this is irremediable. The witnesses examined before the Select Committee of the House of Commons say that the omnibuses will take their old routes, though new routes have been opened to them; that Canecn-street has done much less than was ex pected to relieve Coeapside ; and that the obstruc tions are continually increasing, no t only from what is legitimate traffic, but also from the great quan tity of unnecessary business which is transacted in the daytime, instead of at night, or early in the morning, as in Continental capitals. In Paris, for instance, not only is heavy traffic of all kinds, such as the passage of carts, drays, vans, pieces of tim ber, ladders, &c , put under strict re gu l a ti on , b ut one of the hief causes of annoyance —the loading and unloading of goods—is avoided altogether by tee law or custom which provides that it shall take place at sn early hour in the morning. With these and many other matters a Traffic Regulation Bill endeavours to deal. The traffic of heavy vehicles, such as waggons and omnibuses, the load ing and unloading of vans at unseasonable hours, rhepassage of scaffold poles and long girders through the streets during the busy parts of the day, are among the nuisances proposed to be remedied; and the City further asks the power of directing more completely the stream of traffic, and dividing it be tween the thoroughfares- After some opposition by the London General Omnibus Company and some of the London traders, the Select Committee have roported in favour of the bill, with some limitation of the powers originally sought. It is to advocate the passing of the bill this session that we have mentioned the subject Whatever powers are neces sary to prevent the delay and confusion in the public streets from increasing should be conferred at once, for the evil admits of no remedy except the strict control of a municipal body. The provisions of the bill are so harmless and so useful that we trust it will not be thrown over to another session. POsT.—Austria has advanced another step with her centralised Parliament. In a quarter in which she had apparently the least claim to anticipate sympathies in her modern and revolutionary policy of centralisation, the general scheme of government of which the Reichsrath is a main example appears to have obtained support. Transylvania is the most remote dependency of the Austrian Crown. More distant from Vienna than either Galicia on the north east or than Venetia or Elyria on the south, it might have been fairly expected to have presented one of the greatest government difficulties of Austrian statesmen. Transylvania lies to the east of Hungary, and bounded by Wallachia on the south and by Moldavia on its own eastern frontier. This little community of two millions, formed of four distinct nationalities, has long held aloof from its immediate neighbours. Neither thellangarians, nor the Mol davians, nor the Wallachians, nor the Polish Scla vonians, have succeeded in uniting themselves with it. Transylvania has so long pre sented itself in the character of a petty State s truggling for its independ ence — or, at least, for its distinctive pri vileges —ag a i ns t a ll th ese f orm idable neighbours, that th e Austrian Government, w ith its usual fis stinct, has put itself forward a s its protector. In just that invidious spirit which led Ma ria Theresa to supp ort the Lombard peasantry against their nobles, it has been the Austrian po licy to support the H u ngarians and Transylvanians aainst the all othe rs who have encroached upontheir rights. Thus Transylvania has long been a favoured State; and in that little country representative govern ment, annual parliaments, religious toleration, secular and ecclesiastical education, and even Pro testant endowment, have existed even in a period in which any such liberalism was unknown in Eng.- land. The foundation of the favours thus showered in past ages upon 'Transylvania by Austrian princes has thus lain in policy, and not in abstract liberality. But whatever may have been the motive, the result has been the same. Transylvania hss for the most part been an ally or Austria when Hungary has been the enemy of Austria. The privileges, indeed, thus guaranteed to her hare often been in , . aded, but far less frequently than in the case of Hungary ; and if Transylvania is not uniformly grateful, she is at least grateful for the exceptions that have been made .n her favour. It would seem that the Transylvanian Diet, which has just been opened, is fully d is p osed o support th e Reichsrath, while Hungary still holds herself aloof. An address of thanks has been voted by its members to the Emperor, on ac count of the Imperial rescript, confirming the dis integration of these two States of the Austrian empire. This is certainly what the Hungarian Diet would . ..efuse to do; and the tone and temper of the Transylvanian deputies lead to a belief that they are desirous to adopt the Austrian alliance. Thus, the scheme of a centralised representation, whic h the present advisers of the Emperor have invented, appears to prosper. Of this we are sincerely glad, for we believe it is the best practicable mode of securing at once freedom and strengt" to the Austrian empire. For the last three years Austrian statesmen have been content to hope that their dream might be realised. When the catastrophe of their Italian war had awoke them to the illusion of their former centralising and military despotism, they hit up :el a new scheme of government. The provinces demanding liberty and autonomy on the one hand, and the Executive in sisting upon despotism and centralisation on the other, a compromise was devised. The Emperor agreed to surrender the element of despotism if the provinces in turn would surrender, in part at least, the element of autonomy. In other words a central Parliament was devised. This was the Reichsrath. But it was not entirely to overrule provincial dis tinctions, for the provincial Diets were still to meet, and were required to delegate deputies to the Cen tral and Supreme Parliament or Reichsrath. To this proposal some of the component States of this composite AUstrian empire agreed and some objected to it. Thus the Government of Austria has remained in an anomalous condition, the Legislature consist ing of half a Parliament. By degrees, however, this Reichsrath seems now likely to be amplified, and, on the whole, we believ e it - to present the fairest scheme for uniting the different interests, or, at least, for compromising the ciifferent hatreds, in the Aus trian empire. The pervading error of Austrian policy, both at home and abroad, has tong been that it has been founded, not upon moral principle, but simply upon fear. Austria has been the enemy of Italy, just because she has feared that Italian Libe ralism would rob her of Lombardy and Venetia. On the other hand, she has been the friend of TurkeY, because she had feared that Russian encroachment would endanger and overlap her eastern frontier- In her domestic relations the same guidinai the ot 'v e has been equally apparent. She long conciliatede feared Lombard and Hungarian people, because 6 the Lombard and Hungarian aristocracy b u t from the moment that either the power of the aristocracy ac broke down, or th a t the people sided with the aris tocry, she opposed them both, through a fear of their Importance—in combination. It is just the influence of this policy which has made Austt ia so much distrusted by her own subjects. Where Go vernment is not reduced to a definite moral princi ple, it is impossible, or at least difficult, to put trust in It, Thus it is that the Hungarians still hold out where the Transylv,=nians are disposed to compro mise. The two millions of Transylvanians are so parcelled out that no one of the four nationalities can gain an appreciable ascendant over the other. There are the \Vallacks, the Szeklers, the Magyars, and the S axons. Each of the three latter has its eistinct territory within the limits of Transylvania. But the Wallaeks, on the other hand, are scattered over the whole eoil, or nearly so. Of these four ele ments of the Transylvanian population, the Saxon element is naturally Austrian in point of political sympathy. And even the Magyars, who are least so in point of national connection, are apparently too much dissociated from the Magyars of Hungary to be any longer strongly drawn into their policy. For all these reasons the Austrian Government has succeeded, at a great distance, in conciliating the Transylvanians, more perhaps than any of her ex tra-German subjects. The present loyalty of Tran sylvanian to Austria affords another pledge of the security of the political system of that part of the east of Europe, as well as of the consolidation of the Austrian rule in the remotest provinces of the empire. HERALD.—The provision for Fortification Ex penses Bill, debated on Monday night, brought the question, " What are our future ordnance to be," again prominently into notice. After the expendi ture of soir e four years of time—and as it now appears—three millions sterling money in experi ments to determine the best sort of heavy ordnance, it is not a little humiliating that the War Office and Admiralty have arrived at no conclusion, and that hon. gentlemen who defend the war administration before Parliament still point to hope for the solution of difficulties that are probably no less great at present than when the era of iron - coated war shi p s and rifled ordnance was first inaugurated. On many grounds it is to be regretted that any high flown announcements of what the guns of certain ordnance constructors had achieved—or rather had been said to have achieved—should ever have been promulgated. In the early days of heavy rifled such exaggerated records of the range and penetra tion of heavy rifled shot and shell were published that favouritism's grew up in behalf of this or that inventor—blind and unreasonable prejudices mostly hence the more to be regretted, seeing that public obstinacy has been substituted for public opinion in a matter concerning which it is high time that some salutary control of the latter should be made mani fest. Very frequently have we had to enunciate the proposition—one undeniable in the abstract, though constantly evaded, if not denied, in practice—that actual demonstration constitutes the onl y authorit y in matters of experimental science. Names are valueless as authority in such matters, except so far as they may be received as provisional guarantees pending repetition of trial of experiments already performed. Applying now these postulates to the . case of heavy rifled ordnance, we affirm that would be well if the public were to d isabuse their mind of whatever fame and prestige may have been accorded to this or that ordnance contractor — this or that peculiarity of gun ; deliberately con templating the evidence as it stands to day, after more than four years of anxious waiting and costly experiments. Speaking plainly, then, as the case demands, and as our own se m e of fair play prompts, the hope so commonly entertained not very long ago, that one, at least, of the many breech loading systems of heavy ordnance would be found efficient—that ordnance thus constructed would dis place muzzle-loading ordnance—all such hope, we say, has been rudely dissipate& Whatever differ. ence of opinion there may be in respect of the com petence of any particular breech-loading system, as restricted to field-pieces, there can be none, to any unprejudiced comprehension, in the case of ordnance beyond the size of field-pieces. However great the shock may be to national hopes entertained, or opinions formed, or principles vouched for, that which we announce is the issue made manifest by experiments conducted assiduously for at least four years. Whether the problem of ever adapting suc cessfully a principle of breech-loading to heavy ordnance admits of affirmative solution or the con trary, is of course a pure matter of opinion ; one, however, the negative probability of which is greatly enhanced by the fact the two cannon builders best known to fame, each in connection with a breech-loading gun, have retired from this arena of contest, and have for several months past been associating their names respectively with two forms of muzzle-loading cannon. Those explana tions made, let us clearly understand that the hopes of British artillery constructors are limited to the aecoaapiishment by main force of what had been expected to be achieved by science. After so many years of waiting and experiment we seem to have come back to the point of acquiring that sort of artillery power which was sought by the Turks, when soon after their accession to the Eastern empire, they planted their enormous cannon along the Ihrdanelles. Mere increased dimensions of bore and strength of metal seem all that our lead ing artillerists have to rely upon for penetrating the iron armour-plates of war ships. All the beautiful devices of breech-opening, which a few years ago found such favour,whereby loading should be f rated and gunners protected—whereby portholes should be capable of diminution to mere round aper tures scarcely larger than the muzzle of a gun—These are abandoned, and seemingly for ever. All that faculty of accomplishing enormous ranges so much vaunted awhile ago counts now but little,seeing that penetration, not range, is the quality of paramount importance : The case, we say, is provoking, not to say humiliating. After complacently speaking of muzzle-loaders as remnants of barbarism, and vaunt ing breech-loaders as alone worthy a nation so gene rally advanced in science as ourselves, so pre-emi nently distinguished for our competence in metal lurgy, the return to muzzle-loading effected by English artillerists is anything but consolatory. Better know the truth, however, than go astray under any self-imposed blindness : we have posi tively no heavy breech-loaders in the practice of which any confidence is placed either for land or sea service. For broadside guns it is still question able whether any sort better than our old cast-iron 68 pounders have yet been constructed ; and amongst such naval authorities as think well of rifled ordnance for certain special uses the impres sion is beginning to prevail that cast-iron guns rifled and jacketted would be equal—size for size— to pieces of the more costly construction which have so frequently during the past four years been brought under notice. As for the monster ordnance which are alone competent to effect the destruction of armour-plates at ranges from 1,100 yards, these it is conceded, are not yet manufactured. Lord Clarence Paget professes himself strong in hope as to the speedy advent of these, and points by way of confirmation to the development of artillery during the past twelvemonths. All we can aver as to this matter is, that if any such development there be published records have failed to make it known to many lookera-on not less watchful than Lord C. Paget. ais _ WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING. The annual prize meeting of the National Rifle Association, which is year by year increasing in importance, was brought to a close yesterday with considerable eclat. The weather was all that could be desired, and there was a good attendance of spec • tators, who were present perhaps more particularly to watch the conclusion of the International match. The band of the Honourable Artillery Company was present throughout the day, and much enlivened the proceedings by their frequent and excellent performances. _ _ As we have already stated, the International match engrossed particular attention. At the 1,000 yards range Lieut.-Col. Halford made a total score of 43 marks, which comprised 3 bull's eyes, 9 cen 'res, 2 outers, and 1 miss. Although Sergeant Smith in his total score at ,this range was 2 behind Colonel Halford, he made 6 bull's-eyes; 5 centres, 1 outer, And unfortunately missed three times. Captains Heaton and Rowland each made 40 marks. At the same range, 1,000 yards, Scotland's re presentatives did not make collectively or indi vidually such high total scores as the England men did. Captain H. Ross headed the list with 41 marks. His first shot was a ricochet. The next a bull's-eye, followed by two centres, an outer, then another bull's-eye, 5 eentres, 2 bull's eyes, 1 outer, and a miss. England had fi n ished her part in the match at noon, but it was nearly five o'clock in the evening before Scotland found that at the three ranges she had made a total score of 999 marks. England's total score was 1,012. England there fore is the winner of the Eloho Challenge Shield for 1863, with a grand total score of 83 marks. A result which, on all sides, mast be looked upon as very satisfactory. The following are the scores made by both sides at the 1,000 yards range : Total at three distances. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, July 17.—The tone of the market has been more cheerful to-day, and there has been more dispo sition to operate in yarns at Tuesday's prices.

Linklater, t y he s e o e l n i- i i n tors to the plaintiff, and he had also seen the latter occasionally. Mr. Bovill then eddreesed Mr. Roupell, and, • 'in nn indignant tone, said, "You may go back to the plied you came from—l have nothing more to say to you." Mr. Roupell then left the court hastily, accom panied by the warders of the gaol. Mr. John W. Truman deposed that he was for merly in the service of Mr. W. Roupell as superin tendent of the brickfield and roads upon the Rou pell-park estate. He was acquainted with the late Mr. Richard Roupell, but did not know his signa ture. The name of John William Truman es attest ing witness to the deed of gift was in his hand writing, but Mr. Richard Roupell was not present, and the signature Richard Palmer Roupell was not his handwriting. William Roupell was present, and he believed he was attesting his signature, or he should not have signed his own name to the deed. He believed that the deed was also signed by Mr. Dove as attesting witness. The witness then went on to say that he afterwards attested one of the fraudulent leases relating to the Essex property, and he said that in this case he believed at the time that he was merely attesting the signature of Mr. W. Roupell. The witness was then shown the forged will, and he expressed an opinion that the body of it was written by William Roupell, but he said he was unable to give any opinion as to the signature Richard Palmer Roupell. He said he was aware William Roupell always carried a gold pen about with him, and he had seen him sign his name with this pen, and the signature " William Roupell" that appeared upon the forged will was, in his opi nion, written with that pen. He said he was aware that Mr. Roupell frequently carried a writing desk about with him, and witness had occasionally carried it to him in his carriage. Witness had been an officer . in the same regiment of volunteers of which William Roupell was the . major, and he frequently saw him sign his name, and he was well acquainted with his signature. He remembered the time when Mr. Roupell left England. He went to see him at Aspin-house the day before he left, and upon going to the room where he was he appeared angry at being disturbed, and showed temper, and witness observed a smell as of burning paper, and he after wards saw a quantity of paper ashes in the fire grate. Cross-examined—He was acquainted with Mr. Roupell from the year 1852. The brickworks were carried on in witness's name, and he was sorry to say he permitted Mr. Roupell to use his name. The business was Mr. Roupell's, but it was carried on in witness's name. By the Court—Mr. Roupell was in Parliament at this time. Cross-examination continued—Witness was to be paid £3OO a-year, and he was to receive commission besides. Witness was a shoemaker before he went into the service of Mr. Roupell. The name of Truman and Co. was still up at the works at Brix ton. He could not recollect whether the name of Truman and Co. was up at the brickworks before you t o do e:hstohciaottna:ldte ?eht Mr. Ronpell went into Parliament. Witness was held up to the public as the owner of the bride works down to the period when Mr. Roupell abscondcd.—Tee witness was cross-examined at !considerable length in reference to the circum stances under which he attested the different deeds, and he said that he remembered seeing Mr. W. Roupell sign the instruments, and he was certain of the fact from seeing his own name as the at testing witness. He thought that he was attesting the signature of Mr. Roupell to leases of houses, and he signed the deeds at once without making any inquiry. He had, of course, great confidence in Mr. Roupell, who was at that time considered a ma n of high position and importance. When ho signed his name to the deeds he observed that there was something written over the place where he signed his name, but he could not say what it was. Mr. Roupell turned over the deeds very quickly, and appeared to be anxious to obtain his signature as speedily as he could. He could not say whose handwriting was over the place where be signed his name , or whether it was that of Mr. n" W. Roupell or " an y other ma . ( A laugh.) Baron Channell—What does the witness say about a ny other man ? (Renewed laug hter. ) Mr. Hawkins — O h, my l o rd, you have not been where he has. (Laughter.) Wit n ess to Mr. Hawkins —I have seen you th ere though. (Roars of laughter.) The witness, in further cross-examination, said he did not remember seeing the signature of the old man, Richard Palmer Roupell, upon the deed when he signed it, and lie was inclined to think that it was not, but he believed that signature to be in the handwritingof William Roupell. Witness had never stated that the signature to this deed was not his handwriting, but he remembered Mr. Covinton, the solicitor, calling upon him in April, 1862, and show ing him a deed and asking about thesignature, but be was very much Confused at Itime, t le in conse quence of his having just heard that AI r. Roupell had absconded, and he told him he could not give him an answer at that time, but h look at the deed, an d say whether it was his signa ture or not.

Lush—l cannot tell what become of the ori nal drafts of the leases of this property after I copied them and made the alterations in them, but believe that I destroyed them. When fair copied had been made of the leases I took them to Mr. Whitaker to be engrossed, and authorised him to raise as much money as he could upon the property, and I understood that he applied to several gentle men with that object, and among them to a Mr. Longman, and I think the sum of £6,000 was spe cially mentioned to be obtained from him. Baron Channel' interposed, and expressed his opinion that it was quite unnecessary to go into those details. The fraud and forgery had been posi tively spoken to, and it really appeared to him unnecessary to examine the witness as to the particulars. Mr. Ronpell then proceeded to state that he sub sequently executed a lease to the present defendants of the Essex property that was now in dispute, and that the transaction took place on the 26th of January, 1856, and he said he afterwards forged fictitious leases as from one of the defendants, and ne induced John Truman to attest the signature of that gentleman, by telling him that he wished him to attest his own signature. The witness then ex plained the proceeding he resorted to in order to deceive the witness Truman, and he said that he mixed several aocuments together and wrote his name to one of the false documents. Baron Channel! wished to know how the witness induced Truman to sign four documents when he must have known that he was only required to sign two leases. Mr. Roupell said that Truman placed great con , fidence in him, and he was no lawyer, and might not have known that he was signing more instru ments than were necessary. This was all the ex planation he could give. He deceived him bv mix ing the documents altogether, and placing a piece of blotting paper over the names of the persons who purported to be the real parties to the deeds. Baron Channell—This is your explanation ? Mr. Roupell—lt is. He was then further questioned at very great length with regard to the transactions that took place between himself and Mr. Whitaker relative to the raising of money upon the forged deeds, but it will not be necessary to go into the details, which were very complicated, and appeared to have little or nothing to do with the real question at issue. Mr. Roupell then stated that before Mr. Longman would advance any money he insisted upon having a valuation of the estate, and he employed Mr. Foster, of Pall-mall, to go over the property for that purpose, and he accompanied him, and informed him of the particulars, in accordance with the false statement as to the rent and the term of the lease, and upon this false statement he made a valuation, and Mr. Longman advanced £6,000. He subse quently, however, called in the money, and was paid off; and down to the time when his father died, on the 12th of September, 1856, he had not been able to raise sufficient money upon the estate to pay off the amounts he required to relieve himself of his embarrassments. His father was ailing for about a fortnight before he died, but he went to his busi ness in Cross-street as usual, and at the time of his death witness was negotiating with Mr. Whitaker for a lease, hut the arrangement came to nothing, and the present defendants ultimately advanced him £12,000 upon mortgage of the property in question. After some further evidence Mr. Roupell said that he had burned a great many documents connected with these transactions on the night before he left England, and he also stated tnat Mr. Truman, whose name appeared as the attesting witness to some of the documents, was the superintendent of the brickfield upon the Roupell-park estate. Mr. Bovill having again objected to tae reception of some of the evidence, Baron Channell said he thought the evidence was admissible upon the sground that the witness had admitted himself to have committed a very wicked crime, and if he was to be believed, the counsel for the plaintiff was justified in proving everything he could to show that he was speaking the truth. Mr. Roupell then said that when he found him , self hopelessly involved at the commencement of the ' year 1862, he considered what was best to be done, and resolved upon makinu a communication to Mr. Whitaker, and he did so a few days before he left England, in March, 1862. His father died in Cross street, and at the time he died witness was not aware that he had made a codicil to his will a few days before. Mr. Bovill objected to any evidence being given in relation to the will. The plaintiff did not claim under any will, but under a deed of gift, and they had nothing to do with the will, or whether it was genuine or not. Sergeant Shee submitted that it was necessary to show how it happened that the witness obtained the entire control over his father's property after his death. The court, after some technical discussion, decided that the evidence as to the will was admissible. Mr. Roupell was accordingly examined with re ference to the forged will, and he repeated the evi dence he gave on the former trial. He said that he knew nothing about the codicil until a few days before his father's death, when he wished him to draw up another codicil. His father said that as the property at Roupell- park was liable to litigation and required a great deal of improvement, it would be better to leave the property to witness subject to annuities to his mother and other members of the family. At this time he saw the will of 1850, and the codicil that was made on the 10th of August, but he did not read it. He said he advised his father not to make any alteration in the will, and nothing was done. At this time he expected his father would die, but did not expect his death would occur so soon. He was in formed of his father's death at Brixton on the morning of the 12th Sept., 1856, and he and his mother went to Cross-street immediately , and wit ness went into his father's bedroom alone.
