Hurst and Blackett, publishers, 13, Great Marlborough street. R OYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. SHOW OF CATTLE, HORSES, SHEEP, PIGS, AND AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AT WORCESTER. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The veteran Londoner, who 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 last 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 good memory 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 between. A Buy a-brcorn, or Jim Crow, or an old-fashioned organ erne rnented with little rotating figures was tee worst invader 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 hel‘lly 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 snd things in general, the City Corporation has not been able to bear any longer the anarchy and confusion of its own streets. The state of the thoroughfares from 9 to 5 daily, and particularly towards the hours when the morning and evening tides or vehicles flow to and from the City, is such that th e 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 of 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 Cannon-street has done much less than was ex pected to relieve Ceeapside ; and that the obstruc titres are continually increasing, not only from what ss 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 regulation, but one of the hief causes of annoyance —the loading and unloading of goods—is avoided altogether by toe law or custom which provides that it shall take place at en 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, thepassage 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 Iliyria 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 the Hungarians, nor the Mol davians, nor the Wallechians, nor the Polish Seta vonians, have succeeded in uniting themselves with it. Transylvania has so long presented itself in the character of a petty State s truggling for its independence —or, at least, for its distinctive pri vileges —against all these formidable neighbours, that the Austrian Government, with its usual in stinct, ha s p u t it se lf f orwar d a s its protector. In just that invidious spirit which led Maria Theresa to support the Lombard peasantry against their nobles, it has been the Austrian policy to support the Transylvanians against the Hungarians and all others who have encroached upon their 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, andnot in abstract l iber ality. But whatev er may have been the m otive, the result has been the same. Transylvania has for the most part been an ally of been the enemy Austria when Hun g ar y has of Austria. The privileges, indeed, thus guaranteed to her have often been invaded, 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 in her favour. It would seem that the Transylvanian Diet, which has just been opened, is fully disposed to support the Reichsrath, w hile 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 refuse to do; and the tone and temper of the Transylvanian deputies lead to a belief that they ate desirous to adopt the Austrian alliance. Thus, the scheme of a centralised representation, which 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 strengtt 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 sn a new scheme of government. The provinces demanding liberty and autonomy on the one hand, and the Executive in sisting upon despotism and central i sat i on 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 believe it to present the fairest scheme for uniting the different interests, or, at leas', for compromising the different hatreds, in the Aus trian empire. The pervading error of Austrian policy, both at home and abroad, has long 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 guidinga ed ed mo tive has been equally apparent. She long conedhie Lombard and Hungarian people, becau se s hot from Lombard and Hang , rian arietocrecv fear bIONDAY, JULY 20.

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 medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

It is just the influence of this policy which has made Austiia 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 Transylvanians are disposed to compro mise. The two millions of Transylvanians are so parcelled out that no one of the four nationalities un gain an appreciable ascendant over the other. There are the Wallacks, the Szeklers, the Magyars, and the S ixons. Each of the three latter has its distinct territory within the limits of Transylvania. But the Wallacks, 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 co 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 some 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 ships aad 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 favouritisms 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—oneundeniable in the abstract, though constantly evaded, if not denied, in practice—that actual demonstration constitutes the only authority 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 it would be well if the public were to disabuse 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 today, after more than four years of anxious waiting and costly experiments. Speaking plainly, then, as the case demands, and as our own sente of fair play prompts, the hope so commonly entertainea 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 dissipated. 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-loaaing 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 accomplishment by main force of what had been expected to be achieved by science. Atter so many years of waiting and experiment we seem to have come back to te 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 TY-Irdanelles. 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 facili tated 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 jaeketted 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 monsterordnance 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 lookere-on not less watchful than Lord C. Paget. h I PRICE..... STAMPED ....sd. TILE ROUPELL FORGERIES. The proceedings in this Chelmsford Assizes yesterday, After were resumed at the After Mr. Roupell had be e e y n . examined on Thurs day he was taken back to London, in charge of two of the warders of Pentonvillude9, exhibit any appearance of fee e lit p r l a se t " ;he painful He did not po sition in which he was placed, but answered every question that was put to him th pos sible coolness and deliberation. H e was greatest was brought down to Chelmsford again this morning, further examination was proceeded wi when his Mr. Roupell said, in answer to questions put by Mr. Lush—l cannot tell what became o f the 6 orif , l nal drafts of the lease s of this p ro p ert y a fter I had copied them and made the alterations in them, but I believe that I destroyed them. When fair copies had been made of the leases I took them to Mr. Wnitaker 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. Roupell 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 he 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 eocuments together and wrote his name to one of the false documents. Baron Channeil 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• meats than were necessary. This was all the ex planation he could give. He deceived him lev 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 Cherwell—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, but 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 heals° 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 tne reception of some of the evidence, Baron Claannell said he thought the evidence was admissible upon the ;ground 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 making 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 NN ill 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. His mother was in the room below. He examined the thrust it into his pocket. The codicil was annexed f i o i at (the this time.

It was to the sffect that his mother felt her art in business trans self incompetent to take any p actions, and wished everything to be left to her son William, in whom she placed the utmost reliance. By the genuine will the property of his father was devised pretty equally between the different mem bers of the family, and witness was described as "My son, called Williamßoupell," The same de scription was given of all the other children except Richard.

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 3 ards range Lient.-Col. Halford made a total score of 43 marks, which comprised 3 bull's eyes, 9 cen ree, 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 finished 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 Elcho Challenge Shield for 1863, with a grand total score of 83 marks. A result which, on all sides, must be looked upon as very satisfactory. The following are the scores made by both aides at the 1,000 yards range : Total at three distances. NNGLAND-1,000 yards.

HOSPITAL FOR THE CURE OF STONE, GREAT MARYLEBONE S GREET.—Lord Campbell has kindly con sented to preside at the anniversary festival in aid of the funds of this very excellent institution, which will be held on Wednesday next, the 22d, at the Freemason's Tavern. Since the institution of the Hospital for Stone many hun dred applicants for relief have through its agency been PoropletP l y PBrAd ~-~ ------- geridge, the son of the person he had before referre d to, as the receiver of his rents. Mr. Roupell was then cross-examined by Mr. Bevil", but very briefly: alie said he had already taken God to witness that the will he nom said was forged was genuine. .He swore to that fact before the surrogate, By so doing he committed perjury, His object now was to do justice. lie wished the jury to believe that he stole his father's will ; that he burned it ; that he forged a fresh One ; that he forged' a deed of g ift ; that he also forged leases—forged the names of the tenants—and that, " practically," he cheated the defendants of £12,000. He would also admit that he had " robbed" his father of £lO,OOO in cash, end that he had cheated his family, and now wished to get the property back. He had not exactly " cheated" his mother of some Marine Assurance shares, but he fraudulently disposed of them and kept- the money. (A laugh.) Baron Channell—What is the diffarence between that and cheating her out of them ? (A laugh.) Witness—l admit there is only a difference in words. I came here from Pentenville Prsen, where I am under sentence of penal servitude for life, for forgery. Mr. Bovill—ls' that the prison dress you have on? Mr. Roupell—lt is not. Mr. Buvill—Then you admit that you hare cheated your family; and is it not a fact that by means of the proceedings you have mentioned you have Obtained more than £200,0009 Witnes,:---I admit that this haa been the effect of my conduc!, but I did not intend to f:o as I have done originally. Mr. Bovill—Why did you do it then ? Mr. Roupell—l did it to escape a very great difficulty. Mr. Bovill—And you committed perjury, I sup pose, with the same object ? Mr. Roupell (coolly)—Yes. In answer to further questions, Mr. Roupell said that since he had been confined in Pentonville Prison he had occasionally been in communication with Messrs. Linklater, the solici tors to the plaintiff, and he had also seen the latter occasionally. Mr. Bovill then addressed Mr. Roupell, and, in an indignant tone, said. "You m a y go back to the place 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 ingnot presents witness to the deed of g ift was in his hand writing, but Mr. Richard Rou p ell was t and the signature Richard Palmer Roupell was no his handwriting. Willi am Rou p ell was present, and he believed he was atte stin g his signature, or Mr hde should not have signed his ow n name to the dee , He believed that the deed w as also si g ned by . Dove as attesting witness. The witness then went on to say that he afterwards attested one ot 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 wag 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 bad 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. Me 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.
