The RuEsian Reply to the FrendhDespateh The following is a translation of the Russian reply to - Vas &spate)), of the French GOvPPlrie.nt on the affairs of Poland. It is addressed by Prince Gortschal:cfr to Baron de Budberg, the Russian Ambassador at Paris : • _ _ _ _ " St. Petersburg, July Ist (14th), 1863. " I have 'reoc.ived Trom the Duke of Montebello communications of a despatch, of which a copy is enclosed, from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of. France. " We apt?reciate the sentiments that have induced the Government of his Majesty the Emperor of the French to apprise us of his wishes for the speedy settlement of the troubles that agitate the kingdom of Poland. We are rejoiced to see that the Cabinet of the Tuileries equally does justice to the spirit in which we replied to its first communication. " This spirit did not spring merely from the desire to satisfy a wish that was expressed to us in the most friendly form. It was also dictated by the moral solidarity which exists between the great Powers in face of the action, more and more evi dent, of the revolutionary elements of every coun try that are now concentrated in the kingdom of Poland, and constitute the European character of the question. " We must so much the more impress this fact on the attention of the Government of the Emperor Napoleon, because one of the principal centres of this agitation is Paris itself. The Polish emigra tion, taking advantage of its social relations, has there organised a vast conspiracy, destined in one direction to mislead public opinion in France by a system of defamation and calumnies without example; in another, to foment the disorders in the kingdom, either by the terror of a secret committee, or by inspiring a belief in an active external intervention in favour of the most violent ideas of the insurrection. "This influence is now the principal source of an agitation that, without it, would be extinguished by the operation of the laws and the indifference or the hostility of the masses. In this influence, then, must be sought the moral cause that tends to pro long the painful state of things of which the French Government expresses a wish for an early cessation in the name of peace and humanity. We are strongly disposed to believe that it will not permit its name to be abused to the advantage of revolu tion in Poland and Europe. These considerations determined the character of the communication we have addressed to the Cabinet of the Tuileries; they equally define the object and the extent of the ideas we have asked it to exchange with us. When order in a country is seriously disturbed the neigh bouring States cannot remain indifferent; other Powers may, doubtless, interest themselves on be half of the general security. But a positive right in this respect can be founded only on the stipula tions of existing treaties. This is why we must exclude, even from an interchange of friendly ideas, every allusion to portions of the .Russian empire to which no special stipulation of any international act applies. "In what regards the Kingdom of Poland, the Minister for Foreign Affairs has entered into our own views, in communicating his ideas of the means which, in his opinion, would bring about the pacifi cation of the country. We recognise with satisfac tion that these ideas have the same direction as the intentions of his Majesty the Emperor, as I ex plained them in my despatch of the 14th of April, addressed to the Baron de Brunnow, a copy of which your excellency was instructed to deliver to M. Dronyn de Lhuys. " The French Minister of Foreign Affairs admits himself that several of these measures form part of the plan our august master had traced. I will add, that the greater number of them have already been decreed by order of the Emperor, or prepared by later developments on which his Majesty has re served his decision ; but their principle has been clearly indicated. " I must, nevertheless, state that experience has proved to demonstration how illusory it would be to rely on the efficacy of these combinations for the moral pacification of Poland before material order and respect for authority have been reestablished. " As long as the present disorders continue, as long, above all, as the hope of an intervention from without, which is the most powerful support of the insurrection, exists, this position of affairs will in evitably have the effect, on one side, of seriously impeding the application of every measure taken by the Imperial Government ; and, on the other, to cause their rejection by the Polish insurgents, even should they receive all the extension indicated by the Foreign Minister of France. Certainly it is not the shades, more or less distinct, that the six articles mentioned by M. Drouyn de Lhuys , introddce into the amnesty—an administrative independence and a national representation, already established in part of the kingdom, that will induce the" insurgents to lay down their arms. They will rather see in them another step towards the constant object, of, their hopes and efforts, which is to lead the sympathies expressed for them abroad to an active intervention in favour of their most exaggerated aspirations. They will see in them, consequently, an encourage ment to persist in their present attitude. The con. elusion they would draw from them would be diametrically opposite to the result proposed. It would tend to prolong and envenom the painful Position of affairs to which the solicitude of the French Government, as well as that of the Imperial Cabinet, wishes to set a speedy term. " We find, besides, two other ideas in the despatch of M.Drouyn de Lhnye—that of a provisional paci fication, based on the maintenance of the military status_ quo, and that of a conference of the ei g ht Powers who signed the General Act of Vienna in 1815. "As to the first, however ardent may be our de sire to see th e cessat a on o f bl oo d s h e d, w e have some difficulty to conceive the practical value of this suggestion. We believe that the French Govern ment would feel no less difficulty than ourselves in defining the charact er , the extent, and the mode of carryingout. any negotiation having the object of determining a military status quo, which evidently a cannot exist between legally constituted Govern ment, supported by a regular army, and a secret committee, based on terrorism, y, proceeding by crimes and served b gbands of rebels dispersed in the forests. Between such elements there can be only one transaction consistent with the necessity of order, the dignity o f t h e E senti ments of the Russian mperor, and the people and arm ; this is the submission of the insurgents. When that hastaken place our august' master will Consult the of his clemency, without any prompti ngs other limit than the strictest duties of the Sovereign. "As to the second suggestion--that of a Con ference,—we in no way dispute the right of the Powers signing the Treaty of Vienn a to interpret, according to their own conviction,' the terms of the act in which they have concurred. " Though everything has been said oe Article I. of this treaty without leading to Any practical re sult, we are still disposed to receive in a spirit of conciliation and respect the views that may be com municated to us by the ordinary channel of diplo matic relations. "But an appeal to a Conference would much ex. seed the limits of this right of interpretation. Such an assembly, having for its object an examination of questions connected with the most intricate details of internal administration, would be an interference that a great power can the less admit, that it is neither in the spirit nor the letter of the existing t r eaties. Far from contributing to the settlement proposed, it would only render th e insur g ents more intractable and the (lover= ent less res pected in 1815 appears to ua to in " The course follo wed dicate clearly enoug h the na ture of the deliberations that may be established on quest i on s touching, on one side, a general interes t, and on the other , or the "ns exclusively administrative details of the doinai on the frontier. belonging to the Sovereign States practically, between A distinction is now drawn , these two kinds of interests. The first have been the object of separate negotiations betw een the Courts of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, between which historical traditions, permanent contact, and immediate vicinity have created a close solidarity. All the arrangements for the regulation of the in ternal administration of the mutual relation of the Polish territories placed by the Congress of Vienna under the , respective Governments are specified' in the separate treaties concluded directly between the three Courts on April 21, 1815.' They ii se beer• successively completed in a series of speci , ,l conven tions, whenever eireumatances rsquired. The general principles mentioned in these treatiei hich might have an interest for Europe are inserted only in the Act of the Congress of Vienna, signed on May 27, 1815, by all the Powers required to concur in it. " These general principles are not now in ques- tion, but the administrative details and the internal arrangements would usefully furnish matters for discussion between the three Courts, for the purpose of placing the respective position of their Polish pos sessions, to which the stipulations of the Treaty of 1815 extend, in harmony with present necessities and the lapse of time. The Imperial Cabinet declares itself ready to enter into such an under standing with the Cabinets of Vienna and Benin. " You cannot repeat too often that the issue of the lamentable position that occupies us, no less than the Government of the Emperor of the French, must be sought on our side, and, above all, in the benevolent and enlightened views, inspired in our august master by the anxiety his Majesty expresses for the welfare of the Kingdom of Poland, as well as that of the rest of the empire ; and on the other, in the combined influence the great Powers should exercise, morally, to disconcert the plots of a party that seeks the total confusion of the European Continent. " Beyond these indispensable eleMents of a prac tical solution, there is nothing but dangerous mis understandings for the future of the Kingdom of Poland and the general peace, or the criminal in trigues of a party ready to sacrifice the repose of its country and Europe to the realisation of its most chimerical plans. " Nothing would be more prejudicial to the work Of order and conci.iation that engages the attention of the Cabinets, than a disagreement between them; nothing can better promote it than their good un derstanding. " This is why we have expressed to the Emperor of the French the desire to obtain this good under standing by friendly explanations. The shades that distinguish our mutual appreciations are not so dis• tinct that we ought to renounce this hope. It gives us satisfaction to find an additional pledge for it in the sagacity with which his Majesty the Emperor appreciates the interests of France and Europe, no less than in the confidence the French Minister of Foreign Affairs expresses with regard to all the acts of the reign of our august master. " You will read this despatch to M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and leave a copy of it with his Bacellency. "Receive, M. le Baron, the assurance, &c., GORTSCHAROFF." Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution. The twenty-fourth annual festival of this institution was celebrated on Tuesday evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. Benjamin Webster, supported by Mr. Mark Lemon, Mr. Watkin, Mr. W. S. Johnson, Mr. Borlase Child, and Mr. Leger. About one hundred friends of the institution sat down to an excellent dinner, and several ladies were among the guests at the table on this interesting occasion. The usual loyal toasts homing been gracefully introduced and heartily responded to, _ _ BORLASE CHILD spoke to the toast of " The Army and Navy," and Mr. MARX LEMON, " one of the fullest privates in the service" as he dese,ribed himself, returned thanks for " The Volunteers," pointing to the glories of Wimbledon as an illustration of the very effective manner in which foreigners who attempted to invade our shores might naturally expect to be " peppered" on beating, as they assuredly would, a hasty retreat. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Niwsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution," Ile said—Had I been on my own ground, that is, dramatic ground, I should not feel so nervous as to my ability to do sufficient justice to what is termed the toast of the evaaing—(hear, hear)—the advocacy of the in stitution for the interests of which we are here assemble& Remembering who havefilled the honourable post—first and foremost my friend, Mr, Charles Dickens, a host in himself —it is not affectation to say I know, by comparison, my task to be a very responsible one; but, as Dogberry says, "Com parisons are odorous"—(laughter)—so do not, for my sake, think of the past, but the future—of those who may need your help ; consequently, I shall not endeavour to interest your feelings on the bygone exertions of newsvendors of the .deta _Diurna of ancient Rome, nor the Gazette of Vienna of the 16th century ; nor the English 21 - ercury of the time of good Queen Bess, published by authority for the contradic tion of false reports, though Mercury is presumed to be the father of lies, So that even then all was not true because it was in the papers. (Laughter.) Nor for the vendors of the first weekly newspaper in 1622; nor for those who cir culated the quarto-sized papers during Charles the First's rale—one called "Discoverers Stript Naked, which I trust will not bs the fate of Messrs. Spoke and Grant—nor the sellers of the fi rs t d a il y of Queen Anne's reign, nor the first country newspaper in 1706, published at Norwich, and called the Norwich Postman," at the price of one penny, but stating that a halfpenny would not be refused—(hear, hear)—which fact informs us that penny and halfpenny newspapers date back for more than 150 years; and how they did # for the money without the aid of machinery appliances is curious to contemplate. These ere of the past. But I shall, if not " bestowing all my tedious ness on you, come to the immediate purpose of our meeting. In 1838, the year before this institution was founded, the annual sale of newspapers was nearly sixteen millions. Since that time it is not exaggerated to assume that that number must have quadrupled, which would give considerably over 60,000,000 of newspapers circulated through the agency of newsvendors to the public in a year. Therefore the institution is one which ought to enlist the sympathies of every class that loves its country and its po sition in the world. (Hear, hear.) To know that every day, in every house of this vast metropolis, a paper can be furnished containing the news of what is passing, not only of our own home and the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised and uncivilised world almost to the hour of our waking in the ram ning for our daily avocation—to know that the news is forwarded to every village, town, and city of this kingdom, and every country on earth, and all through the untiring and Indefatigable agency of the newsvendor, is a claim that, is irresistibl e on t h e b ounty of the pu b l i c. Vi'hat wonld become of Reuter's Telegrams; what would become of that intellectual analysis of events with which our public press enlighten mankind, but for these agents of universal dissemination—the newsvendors? To them we not only owe the chief comfort of our morning meal, but the in formation and guide for our daily mercantile and political operations, which have tended to make this the chief nation of the world. Are we not bound then, high and low, to take into, our dearest consideration the early and late toil of those who conduce to all these. ends ?—when it is known that at the early hour of the morn when many sleep at their ease, dependent upon their success on the knowledge they derive, after a good night's repose, from those who are obliged to steal rest by snatched.moments from their cares, and who, exposed to the inclemency and every variation of the Inatome engender those ills to which man is heir.

GREAT POLISH DEMONSTRATIONS That evening a meeting in favour of the cause of Poland was held at Sr. James's Hall, Piccadilly, and was most numerously attended. Sir J. V. Shelley, Bart., M.P., occupied the chair, and amongst those present were Sir H. A. Hoare, Bart., the Hon. Mr. Wynn, Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., Gen. Count Zimoyski, Major Gulgud, Major Szulcyew ski, the Rev. Dr. Worthington, Rev. Dr. Eaton, U.S., Mr. L. G. Adolphus, Mr. Vigne, Mr. W. A. Francis (New York), Mr. P. A. Burr, Mr. Wim• piries, Mr. Mulvany, Mr. J. Baxter Langley, Mr. M. R. Barry, Mr. Joseph B. Franklin, Mr. J. A. Nicholay, &c. A deputation from the French Polish committee were also present. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, read a number of letters from the Marquis Townshend, Lord Ilchester, Mr. R. B. Sheridan, M.P., Sir Harry Verney, M.P., Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., and others, regretting their inability to attend, but expressing their sympathy with the movement. He then said that it must be most congenial to the feet ings of every lover of freedom and liberty to find that such meetings were held as that he now pre sided over. (Hear, hear.) They could freely boast of their free institutions in this free country, and their object in meeting that night was to ex press their feelings as Englishmen in sympathy - with that spirited and unfortunate people now at tempted to be trodden down by the Russian Em percr. The question, so called the Polish clues- tion, was not a new one, for it had been for many years surging to the surface, and had threa tened the peace of Europe. Therefore there could be no doubt thßt they as Englishmen were justified in meeting in large numbers and expressing their sympathy with those who were struggling to free themselves from the unbearable yoke which was now upon them. Earl Russell had stated in the House of Lords that the spirit of the Polish people would never die out, and he (the chairman) hoped that it never would die. (Applause.) That hope alone fully justified them in heartily and cordially expressing their sympathy with a people who for a century had been oppressed and trampled upon. He was rejoiced is this crisis to hear of these meetings, not only for the cause of Poland, but because he felt that the peace and welfare of Europe were involved. He had no hesitation in eaying that the manner in which the Poles had been treated amounted to a great crime. England had not taken of the spoil he admitted, but she had stood by and seen the spoil taken ; in fact it was a great blot on her escutcheon —(applause)—and it was for us to wash our hands clean of it. (Hear.) He said that it was the duty of every man to lose no time—looking to the liberty of the country—in telling Russia that politically and diplomatically under the treaty, she (Russia) had not scrupled to trample en the Poles, and, there fore, she had now no claim to Poland. They should tell the ministers that it was their duty to see that the peace of Europe was maintained, and above all that the honour of the country must never be for gotten. He believed that such meetings as the present would tend to add strength to the hands of the Government. (Hear.) He had been asked if, for the sake of Poland, he wonld have the country go to war again. He thought if her Majesty's mini sters took steps in this matter they would be sup ported by her Majesty's subjects. (Cheers.) He therefore hoped that steps would be taken to relieve the oppressed from their oppressors. In conclusion he said he had great pleasure in introducing a de putation from the working men of Paris. (Renewed cheering, during which the members of the depu tation advanced to the front of the platform and amidst loud applause shouted " Vive la Pologne"). Mr. EDMUND BEALES then moved the following resolution :—" That the devoted and self-sacrificing heroism of the Poles in their previous struggles in defence either of their own rights or of the liberties of other nations, as well as in their present struggle forthe recovery of the freedom and independence of their country, entitles them to the warm and active affection and support of every free people, while the atrocious conduct of the Russians in their past misrule and oppression of Poland, and in the war they are now waging for its renewed subjuga tion, is an insult to Christendom and an outrage on humanity." He was glad that the resolution pledged the meeting to something like active as sistance. The time had gone by for offering mere sympathy to Poland, and it wa9 now for them to give the Poles that support which they had a right to receive at their hands. That unhappy people had been treated by the Russians with a savagery unparalleled in the annala of history. Her sons had been dragged to the scaffold because they had loved and fought for their country, and Poland's daugh ters had been subjected to the knout because they bad loved and mourned for their country. He re pudiated the immoral doctrine that was advocated in high quarters, that England might interfere for the Poles, but that they had no moral obligation to do so. Ile denied that. (Cheers.) England had a mighty obligation to assist Poland. (Hear, hear.) She had once interfered in 1815 for the sake of maintaining peace, and though we stipulated for a constitution for that country, it was no sooner given on paper than it was violated in substance. We, therefore, not only confirmed the partition of Poland, but gave Russia a much larger share of it. (Cheers.) The working men of France had addressed a memorial to the Emperor, which ended with these remarkable words—" Sire, let the sword cut what diplomacy is powerless to solve," and In that he entirely concurred. He hoped he had said enough to convince them that the time was come when they should give to Poland more substantial assistance than mere sympathy. (Loud cheers.) He trusted the resolution would meet with their hearty and unanimous concurrence. (Loud cheer.) Mr. G. ODGERS seconded the resolution. Mr. FRANKLIN supported the resolution. It was put and carried amid great enthusiasm. Mr. W. CBEmER, joiner, then proposed the second resolution, which was as follows :—" That this meet ing deprecates all negotiation with Russia on the subject of Poland, except upon the btre,a of the im mediate cessation of the hostilitke now raging, the withdrawal of the Russian troops from every part of the Polish soil, unitthe establishment of a separate and independent Polish State, and is convinced that if an Reared intervention should become necessary for effecting these objects the sacrifice which such intervention might entail upon the English people would be cheerfully borne by them." Sir H. HOARE seconded the resolution, and said he was at first proud of the man who held the reins of our for sign affairs when he took up the cause of Poland, but he must say that he was equally dis appointed and disgusted at the infamously low tone of the position he took up. (Hear, hear.) He felt that the British public was far in advance of the House of Commons—(bear, hear)—and also of many noble lords of the other house, but he was sure that there were some members of the Government who were willing to support the English demand by force of arms, and only wanted the public support to carry out their views. (Hear, hear.) If the House of Commons would not listen to the voice of the people, he hoped that they would remember that this was the fifth year of the present Parliament. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that political cowardice would not allow the Government to abandon the Poles. The resolution was then carried unanimously. General ZAMOYSKI then addressed the meeting. He was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and said it was no easy task for a Pole to address a meeting while his countrymen were fighting far from him. (Hoar, hear.) But it was a duty he had to perform, and he had yielded to the solicitation of the leading gentlemen on the platform. (Hear, hear.) He thanked all those present for the expression of their feelings in favour of Poland, and ho trusted that it would have an important effect upon the destiny of his bleeding, fighting country. (Cheers). With regard to the diplomacy that had been attempted, he knew what the result Would be long before it took place. If the rebuff' Were bitter to bear it did not follow that it was to be borne patiently. But while that negotiation was therefore going on his country was bleeding, and he had a right to ask that if we did not help them we t should at least not injure them. The struggle that was the no t: tnselves must be settled be twee ; they g ey -o m in u r' st o h n 'ght for their free bra and g ain it by the strength of their arms. (Cheers.) He called on England not to assist Russia by counteracting their unlawful possession of Poland. Lpt the English Government say to Russia We sanciioned your possession of Poland on cer tain conditions; we hare waited 50 years for the fulfilment of those conditions and have waited in vain, and now we withdraw our sanction to your retaining that country any longer." Let England make that declaration, and he would pledge him self that by the end of this year every Russian soldier would be driven out of Poland. (Cheers,) Let them make that declaration and he was autho rised to say that Frauce would follow. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Austria was willing for the reconstruction of Poland, because that would secure her frontier from the attacks of Russia; but she was afraid to offend that power until she had some guarantee against any attack that might be made upon her. Austria would give up Galicia willingly, and with the 100,000 which that province yielded the driving out the Russians from Poland would be but the work of three months. (Cheers.) He con cluded by urging the people of England to press their Government to withdraw their sanction to Russia holding Poland any longer. The gallant general retired amid enthusiastic applause. M. Tolain, one of a deputation from the working men of France, next addressed the meeting. Mr. M. BARRY, a barrister, moved the following resolution That a deputation, consisting of the chairman and the movers and seconders and sup porters of the resolutions adopted at this meeting, and of such other friends of Poland as may be will ing to attend, be appointed to wait upon Earl Rus sell, her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and communicate to him such resolutions, and the purport of the sentiments unanimously ex pressed at this meeting." Mr. STAINSBY seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1803 THE ROUPELL FORGERIES. SIXTH DAY. CHELMSFORD, July 22. (Before Mr. Baron Channell and a Special Jury.) ROUPELL AND ANOTHEE V. ROWS AND ANOTHER. The evidence for the defendants was again proceeded with yesterday morning. As on the previous day, William Roupell was brought to the court in custody of two warders, and he took his seat in the dock, and remained there during the whole of the pro ceedings. He appeared to pay close attention to the testi mony given by the different witnesses who were examined. Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. J. Brown, and the Hon. Mr. Thesiger, appeared for the plaintiffs. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were for the defendants. Mrs. Emma Lovejoy said—l was a tenant of Mr. Richard Roupell, and received many receipts for rent from him. (The witness produced a number of the receipts given by the deceased). Mrs. Randall, another tenant of the deceased, also pro duced receipts for rent. The amount of papers produced as evidence in the cause had by this time become enormous, and in order to identify them every letter in the alphabet had been exhausted, and the alphabet was recommenced, with figures added, A large box was placed by the side of the learned judge in order to receive the different documents. Mr. Hawkins said that a great number of tenants of the deceased were in attendance, ready to produce their receipts, but he did not propose to call the whole of them unless the learned friends desired to cross-examine any of them, and in that case any witness he desired should lee placed in the wit- ness box. The jury appeared to pay particular attention to the evi. deuce as to the handwriting, and the foreman of the jury brought with him a very powerful magnifying glass, for the purpose of being enabled better to examine the different signatures and compare them with the signatures that wore alleged to be forgeries. Mr. John Nash, clerk to Messrs. Druce, law stationers, proved that he was a tenant of the deceased from 1851 to 1856, and was well acquainted with his handwriting. The signature to the deed of gift was shown to him, and he said that, to the best of his belief, it was a genuine signature. Mr. John M'Call, a tenant of the deceased from 1849 to 1856, also expressed his belief that the signature was genuine. Cross-examined—Witness had compared his own receipts with the signature to the deed, and he noticed that the sig natures were diversified as much as possibly could be. He did not pay particular attention to the flourish at the end of the word Roupell. It was, of course, possible for him or any other man to be deceived as to handwriting, but he did not think he was in this instance. Mr. W. Steer, alsO a tenant of the deceased, likewise ex pressed a confident opinion that the signature was genuine. Mr. W. Clark said he was employed to collect some of the deceased's rents for 12 years, and had seen him write hun dreds of times, and was well acquainted with his handwrit ing. He had looked at the signature to the deed of gift, and he had no doubt it was the handwriting of Mr. Richard Roupell. Cross-examined—Witness used to see the deceased gene rally every day, and he was aware that he had made a will, and had made him executor and trustee, but he did not say anything about a legacy. In July before his death, the de ceased told him to come to his office and see him execute his will, and he did so. Witness never saw anything more of that will. On the morning he died witness was sent for, and he remained in the house until Wm, Roupell and his mother arrived, and a bed was made up for Wm. Roupell in the parlour. About two years and a half after the death of old Roupell. William Roupell gave him £l5O. Witness had seen the will of Sept. 2, 1854 (the will alleged to be forged), and believed that the signature to it was genuine. He never entertained any doubt of the fact,and he certainly did not shake his head when he first saw it. (A laugh.) He did express a doubt in the first instance to a gentleman named Dyke, who resided at Kingston, whether the signa ture was genuine. He said that it was a very good imitation, but that .the signature was not genuine, or he did not think it was his. He went to Mr. Dyke afterwards, accompanied by Mr. Harvey Linklater, and he told him that if he would sign some paper or agreement he would guarantee him £l5O from Mr. Richard Roupell. He was advised by Mr. Dyke not to sign the paper, and he did not do so. He understood that the paper he was required to sign contained a renuncia tion of the trusteeship under the old will, At first he was asked to join in the action as a trustee, but he refused, and then he was asked to renounce the trusteeship. In answer to a question put by the foreman of the jury, the witness said that although he had taken some time to examine the signature, this did not ari se from his entertain ing any doubt; and in his conscience he believed that the signature was a genuine signature of Mr. Richard Palmer Roupell. With regard to the " flourish" to the signature, he had as often seen him sign his name without that flourish as with it. Mr. W. H. Smith, clerk in the drawing department of the Bank of England, said he had been in the habit of paying the deceased's cheques for twenty years, and was well ac quaintedwith his handwriting, and he believed the signature to the deed of gift was the genuine signature of Mr. Richard Palmer Roupell, and he should pay a cheque upon it. In the signature of the decease to their signature book there was no flourish at all. Cross-examinnd—Prior to the trial at Guildford he had given an opinion upon the signatures to several documents to Mr. Linklater. rhis was the first time he had seen the deed of gift. The signature in the signature book was written by the deceased in 1838, at which time he opened the account with the Bank of England. At the Bank of England the custom would be to judge, from the general character of the handwriting, whether the signature was genuine or not; and they would not give any effect to the fact of the absence or presence of a " flourish" at the end of the signature. By the Jury—Witness had seen the deceased at the Bank of England, but he could not say whether he came there often or not. Mr. W. Dudley said he was a solicitor in the Southwark bridge-road, and with his partners acted in that capacity for the deceased for a great many years, and was well acquainted with his handwriting. He believed the signature to the deed of gift was a genuine signature. Cross-examined—Witness had been commissioned profes sionally for the purchase of one portion of the property of the deceased. Several deeds were then shown to the wit ness, and he identified his signature as the attesting wit ness to them. They were the deeds executed by the de ceased. Re•exaneined—Witness had attested the signature of the deceased to a great many other deeds than those now pro duced. Mr. Alfred Henwood. clerk and cashier in the London Joint-Stock Bank, where the deceased also had an account since 1833, said that he had, personally, only paid two cheques of the deceased, but he had compared a great num ber of genuine cheques (about 100) with the signature to the deed of gift, and be was of opinion that this signature was genuine, and if he had seen it upon a eheque ho should have paid it. Cross-exemined—Witness formed his opinion from a com parison of the cheques,and also from looking at the signature of the deceased in the signature-book. He considered there was no difference between the signatures, and although there might be some slight distinctions in the signatures, the gene ral character of the two signatures was precisely the same- Witness was not an expert. When a cheque was presented, he did not look for minute particulars, butexereised his best judgmdiat whether the signature was genuine or not in order to protect the bank. The witness added that it had for ten years been the practice to submit doubtful signatures to him, and he never once failed in Ihe judgment he had given. Mr Tills, an engraver, employed in the Bank of England in en awing bank notes, said that he had had a great deal of experience in matters connected with engraving and handwriting, and he had examined the deed of gift, and compared the signature with those upon a number of receipts signed by the deceased, and he believed it was the genuine signature of the persDn who had signed the receipts. Cross-examined —Witness had sometimes been asked to give his opinion as to a particular handwriting, but he was not an expert, and had never given evidence in a court of justice until the present occasion. He had observed that there were small differences in some of the signatures, but formed the conclusion he had arrived at from a general im pression of the different signatures and the character of the handwriting. In some cases the "o" was made like an a," but in others it was made like the ordinary letter " o." Re-examined—Witness spent several hours in a careful examination of the signatures and the handwriting, and the conclusion he arrived at was that the signature to the deed of gift was a genuine signature. He attended to give evi dence on this occasion by special permission of the direc- tors of the Bank of England. Mr. E. Widford, a gentleman engaged in the National Debt-office, deposed that he had great experience in connec tion with handwriting and signatures, and he was of opinion that the signature to the deed of gift was the genuine sig • nature of the person who wrote the receipts. Mr. T. Haymers, who had been employed for 31 years in the General Post-office, and was for a great many years an inspector of franks, and that his present employ ment in the establishment was that of inspector of official correspondence, gave similar evidence with regard to the signature of the deceased to the deed of gift. In his opinion it was free and natural, and a genuine signature. Cross•examined—There were some slight differences be tween the signatures that were shown to him and that to the deed of gift, but the result of witness's experience was, that hardly any one ever wrote his signature always in the same manner. Mr. G. J. Pickett, who said he had been occupied in the business of an engraver for more than half a century, and was principally engaged in engraving bank-notes, also stated that in his opinion the signature to the deed of gift was a genuine signature, and he said he came to this conclusion irrespective of any comparison of handwritings. He had, however, compared the signature with the signatures to the receipts that had been shown him, and this confirmed the conclusion he had arrived at. In cross-examination, this witness, like the others, said that he bad paid particular attention to all the peculiarities and deviations in the signature, and he still came to the conclusi n he had mentioned. Mr. Edwin Whitaker said—l am a solicitor, and carry on bnsiness with my brother in Lincoln's Inn-fields. The deed of gift now produced was prepared in my office, and I at tested the signature of William Roupell that appears to it, and at that time the deed was complete, and bore upon it the signatures of Truman and Dove as attesting witnesses to the signature of Richard Palmer Roupell. I had written the words "signed, sealed,aud delivered in the presence of" before the deed was se nt away for the father's signature. My brother acted as the solicitor for Win. Roupell, and he prepared the deed of gift, which was to be given to him as security for money he had advanced to Wm. Roupell. Cross-examined —l am not in the firm with my brother, but I carry on one portion of the business on the footing of a partner. I have attested a g reat many deeds for William Roupell—perhaps 100. I have never known a deed to be at tested in my office with a dry pen being drawn over a signa ture already written. I will swear that William Roupell never attested a deed in that manner in my office. I was acquainted with W. Roupell when he was an articled clerk to Mr. Rees, of Copthall- court. Mr. Watts, his uncle, in troduced him to our firm. I know that Mr. Watts had been abroad for several years prior to 1833, but I am not aware that he was in pecuniary difficulties. I have not acted with Wm. Roupell in procuring money to relieve Watts from his difficulties. I know that my brother received money for Wm. Roupell, but I know nothing about this money being raised to pay off judgments against Watts. I know that money has been raised, and I have myself prepared mort gage deeds for the purpose of raising money for W. Roupell• I cannot state what amount of money was actually raised, and I cannot say how much money William Roupell owed our firm in January, 1856. The leases relating to these farms were prepared, I believe, in our office, but I had nothing co do with them. I remember there was some ne • gotiations with Mr. Longman for a loan upon the Great Warley property, but I am unable to say how these nego• tiations went off. My brother acted in these matters, and I knew very little about them. Re-examined —My brother was subpceaned as a witness for the plaintiff, but he was merely called upon to produce certain deeds. Mr. J. B. Gabb, secretary of the Alliance Marine Insur ance Company, proved that Mr. Richard Palmer Roupell was one of the shareholders in that company. He produced several receipts for dividends signed by the deceased, and also some transfers of shares. Mr. J. P. Bacon, manager of the business of Messrs. Bacon and Co., bank-note engravers, deposed that he had made handwriting his study for the purposes of his busi ness, and having examined the signatut es to the receipts and that to the deed of gift, he was of opinion they were all signed by the same person. Mr. Joseph Beck, one of the Society of Friends, stated that he was an optician, and he had carefully examined the name of the attesting witness, John Truman, to the deed of gift, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the letter " e" in Roupell was under or over the "h" in the name John, and he had ascertained that the loop of the "h" was above the "e."—(The object of this evidence was to contradict William Roupell as to the mode in which the attestation —I am a builder at Grebaist bailiff executed.)War ley, and in June, 1855, k e pt an inn there, and w of the manor. Lord Ileadley was the lord, and Mr. Gapp was his agent. I remember a court being held on the 12th of June, 1835, at which Mr. Richard Palmer mer Roupell and Mr. Gapp were pres ent. During the day Roupell made a statement to me. I was aware that his object at this time was to enfranchise h is copyhold property ; and he said he could not come to terms with the stward, but he would wait till the at% ernoon , a nd if they den ot then come to some arrangement ho would give the estate to his son William. In the afternoon I heard him ask Mr. Gapp if he would take the money ho had offered, and Mr. Gapp said he could not m ake any alteration in the terms ; and upon this Mr. Row. pell said, " Hand me over the rod, and surrender it to my son William at once;" and the rod was handed to him, and he did eo. Cross-examined— I had previously ear olhde Mr. Roupell s ay that if they w ould not agree to his terms weuld sur render his estat e to his son, who was a lawyer, and who would soon make them come to terms. He d i d h is notransacti rememboner ever having seen M r. Richard Roupell aftert. Mr, Gapp deposed that he was stew rd of ur the t Great War ley manor, and remembered holding the co on the day mentioned by the last witness, the 12th of June, 1855. A person pointed out to him as Mr. Richard Palmer Roupell was present at the court, and there was a discussion as to the amount to be paid by him for enfranchising a portion of his property in the manor, which was copyhold, but no ar rangement was come to, and the deceased forma to his son lly surWil ren- l i d ere d the copyhuld portion of his property liam on the 12th of June, 1855, and the surrender was COlL pleted on the Ist of September, 1855. Mr.W. Downes, the agent for Lord Headley, proved that the sum of £420 was required from old Mr. Roupell for the enfranchisement of his copyhold property at Great Warley. Mr. W. Roupell afterwards paid him £320 for the enfran chisement of the property. Old Mr. R o upell would not give more than £4OO for the enfranchisement. Mr. Beck, the witness who had been examined, having prepared, at the request of the Court, the binocular micro scope with which he had examined the alleged forged deed of gift in an adjoining room, the jury retired for the purpose of themselves looking at the document through the same instrument. This closed the case for the defendants. Mr. Bovill then proce eded to sum up to the jury the case which he believed he had established on behalf of his clients. He said he was glad that he could congratulate them upon the approaching termination of this protracted inquiry, and he hoped that in the result he should also be able to con gratulate his clients upon the decision they would arrive at. When he last addressed them the only evidence which was before them was that of the witnesses for the plaintiffs, one of whom undoubtedly, Mr. Surridg, madee to the deed the important admission that in his opinion the s e ignatur gift was the genuine signature of the deceased ; and he said it appeared to him that the evidence he had laid before them on behalf of the defendants had completely answered the cas e for the plaintiffs,parti c ularly upon the important ques tions of handwriting, and whether the signature to the deed of gift was a genuine signature or not. His learned friend Sergeant Shee had stated in a tone of triumph. Richard that he s h ou ld prove that the genuine signature of Mr Palmer Roupell was never written without some peculiar characteristics, one of which was the flourish at the end of the name ; but by an almost special interposition it actu ally turned out that in one of th in deeds produced by the p l a i n tiff the very thing occurred the signature which his learned friend so much relied upon as having never name;ex bd itself in the " flourish," as it was termed, to the n and not only this, but Mr. Richard Roupell, who according to the case of his learned friend was so very careful in writing his signature, had actually spelt his name with one "1." [The learned counsel handed the document to which he referred to the jury, in order that they might inspect it.] He called their attention to this fact as an answer to the suggestion on the part of his learned friend; but it appeared to him that the eet that was so much relied upon in suppOrt of the plainti f ff's case was really of very little, if any, importance, and that the bundles of receipts that had been produced made outin the clearest possible manner that Mr. Richard Roupell had no uniform mode of signing his name, and that he signed it in all sorts of ways. The learned counsel then proceeded at considerable length to comment upon the peculiarities in the different signatures that had been produced, and he contended that, with re gard to this portion of the case, the plaintiff had entirely failed. After some further observations, he said that it ap peared to him that the facts to which he had directed the attention of the jury were a complete answer to the evidence that had been given by the experts, and especially to that of the gentleman who had bothered his father—(a laugh)— and who might probably have succeeded in bothering them if they had not fortunately been able to obtain possession of the mass of receipts that had been put in, and which showed conclusively that the points upon which he professed to rely were not of the slightest value in the world as affecting the present question. The learned counsel next called at tention to the evidence that had been given by the clerks from the Bank of England and the London Joint-Stock Bank. men who, he said, were not hackneyed experts, but men who were in the habit of paying large sums of money upon their knowledge of handwriting, and who by their great experience were able to detect a forgery in an instant, and he urged that it was impossible not to give the greatest possible effect to evidence of such a character. He next went on to give a general outline of the case that had been set up for the plaintiff, and asked the jury whether they thought that upon the facts before them they would be justified in re turning a verdict that would deprive the poor ladies who were the real defendants in the action and their children of this property, and enable Mr. W. Roupell to obtain £20u,000 worth of property for his family, upon the sup position that the deeds by which he had passed the property away were forged and counterfeited. Mr.Bovill had not concluded his address when the court rose. The Attempted Murder in a Railway Carriage. On Wednesday morning Michael Lyons, aged 40, of Bampark, Btalymal§call, near Dundalk, Ireland, was brought before the magistrates at Newp'rt Pagnell, charged, under the 20th section of the 24.4 and 25th of Victoria, cap. 100, with having unlaw fully and maliciously inflicted grievous bodily harm upon the persons of one James Worland and Peter M'Llean. The magistrates present were Mr. M. G. Duncan (chairman), Mr. C. M. Chester, Mr. J. C. Maul, the Rev. C. Selby Lowndes, and the Rev. J. Tarver. Tho prisoner since he has been under confinement has appeared to be perfectly rational. He has re peatedly stated that he had no reason for committing the assault beyond the belief that the two persons whom he assaulted in the carriage were about to rob him. He has written two letters, one to his wife and the other to a solicitor at Aylesbury, who ap peared for him. Upon the prisoner being placed at the bar Mr. Inspector Cox, of the S division, who had charge of the case from the Marylebone Police-court, stated, in reply to Mr. Powell, the clerk to the bench of magis trates, that the medical gentleman who had been attending the two sufferers, De. Bain, of Blackwall, had handed him a certificate at the Euston station jnst prior to the starting of the train. It certified that Mr. M'Lean and Mr. Worland were both so ill as to be unable to leave the house, and that Mr. M'Lean had that morning lost a child. Inspector Cox added that he had no evidence to offer at pre sent, and that he had to ask for a remand. John Orpen, the constable who took the prisoner into custody, was sworn to his information, and the following letters were handed to the bench for perusal : • " Ravensdale-park, Newry, July 20. "Sir,—Having just been informed of the arrest of Mr. Michael Lyons, a schoolmaster, residing on my estate in the county of Louth for assaulting persons in a railway carriage while in a state of insanity, I beg leave to say that I am aware that upon another occasion, about three years ago, Lyons was attacked with insanity. His wife goes by the steamer to-night to try to see him, with a hope to be allowed to do so. As he is a respectable man, I trust he will be treated with every consideration under the unfortunate cir cumstances int) which his dangerous malady has misled him.—l am, Sir, yur obedient servant, " CLAREMONT. " To Inspector Breary, Fenny Stratford," Inspector Breary said that letter was from Lord Claremont. The next letter was in the following terms :- 4 , University of London, Burlington-house, July 20. Sir,—Having read an account of the assault committed in a railway carriage by Michael Lyons, and having seen that he has been brought up before you, and is to appear again on Thursday next, I think it well to inform you that I have reason to believe in the correctness of his statement, that he was on his way to undergo an examination here. He had requested me to enter his name as a candidate for the first Bachelor of Science examination, which commenced this morning, and had furnished to me the necessary certi ficates, and I consequently expected him here yesterday. I shall be ready to put his communications on the subject in evidence if it should be considered desirable. It seems to ILO not unlikely that his brain has been unsettled by overwork and by anxiety about his examination.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM B. CA.EPENTER, M.D., Registrar. " To - Lowndes, Esq." The solicitor for the defence applied to have a sum of money, amounting to £8 3s. 81d., given up to the prisoner for the purposes of the defence. After some consultation the Bench agreed that the sum of two guineas might be given up for the purposes of the defence. The prisoner said ha would willingly undertake his own defence if the money could be given t o o his wife, whe had no means of support either for her self or the four young children she had left. Lord Claremont hod generously given her money to get to London, but she had no means of returning. He (the prisoner) desired to ask the Bench whether the railway would let her use his return-ticket home. The Chairman said that the company would de cide that, and the Bench desired Mr. Orpen to state to the proper officials of the company the suggestion which the Bench wished to make, that the company should take into consideration the con dition of the woman and act according to their dis cretion, Mr. Orpen undertook to convey to the railway authorities the opinion of the Bench, and the far ther hearing of the case was adjourned for a week. It appears that the old lady who was in the car riage was Mrs. Eaton, of 21, Herbert-street, Ilox ton. Although 80 years of age, she so far preserved her presence of mind that on recovering from the shock which induced a sudden faintness, she bound up Mr. Worland's forehead with the handkerchief, and that she took two ()there out of the bag she had with her, in order to stanch the blood, and she maintained her self possession throughout the jour ❑ey, and was enab!ed to tell Orpen, the constable, what had taken place, It was Orpen who secured the knife which the prisoner had firmly held in his hand, although both *Lean and Worland had managed to keep him down on the floor of the car riage, by kneeling on him for an hour and a quarter after the ferocious attack had been made. Death by Violence. Ann Sullivan was charged before Mr. Leigh with manslaughter, at the Worship-street Police-court, yesterday.. The prisoner, who is about 26 years of age, not ill-lcoking but of short stature, was brought up in custody a week since, but the evidence in sup port of the oharge was so slight as to be barely sufficient for a remand. Since that time au inquest has been held, and the testimony now was substan tially as follows : On the night of the 24th ult. the prisoner was in the Nagg's Head public-house, opposite the London Hospital, Whitechapel-road, and endeavoured to pick the pocket of a person there. Mr. C. White, the landlord, perceiving the act, frustrated its corn. pletion, and directed the barman to turn her out. This was done, and Mr. White, after seeing it done from the door-step, was speaking to police constable Chandler respecting the matter, when he suddenly received a fearful blow on the back part of the head. His hands, on placing them there, were in stantly covered with blood, and the constable heard something heavy fall near him, which, on picking it up, proved to be a piece of granite stone nearly 31h. in weight. The prisoner was close by, and, when charged with the assault, replied, " I did it, and wish I had killed the --," usi ng a shameful epithet. The suff erer was taken to the hospital, where it was seen that a large incised wound on the part mentioned reached to the bone. Mr. White refused to remain in the establishment after the in jury had been carefully dressed, and expired on the 14th inst., fatal symptoms having set in on the day previous. In reply to the usual questions the prisoner said, " I did fling the stone at him, but had no intention of killing him. Before I did it he struck me, knocked me down, kicked me, and called me a pros titute and a common thief. lam not a prostitute, and can't be a common thief, for I only came out of a lunatic asylum in May last. It is understood that this is true, she having be come insane in consequence of the loss of an illegi timate child. Mr. Leigh fully committed her for trial at the Central Criminal Court on the charge of man slaughter.

A con siderable free-on-board business has been done iu Riga fhtx at very high rates, and at all the Russian ports supplies are small and prices very firm. On the spot there has been less done to-day, but hole.- ors are very firm in their demands, and look for a:, still farther advance. Tow and cedilla are in good. request, and prices hig►her for fine and medium qualities. There was an active demand for jute to.- day, and a good bustuess done, with prices against buyers. Yarns are in improved request, all kinds being much wanted, I.,nd prices rather dearer. To day a large quantity changed hands, and more would 'have been done had spinners been so in clined. American advices bring considerable sales; of heavy linens, but little had been done for a day or two before the mail left in consequence of tlie , olitic..%l excitement. It is not now expected that ;ha war will be soon terminated, and this has 4 increased the inquiry for linens suitable for that market. To-day a large business was done in such goods at very full prices. The home trade demand also keeps very active, and the supply of linens of all qualities is not at all equal to the present, de mand. LEICESTER, 22d.—The hosiery trade, both as re spects the fancy and regular branches, continues int a healthy condition, and the demand for both classes of goods remains tolerably active. Ir the rural dis tricts there is more doing, and when the harvest begins the surplus hands will be engaged in reap ing. Yarns are firm, and high in price. In woels there is no important change. NOTTINGHAM, 22d.—There has been hardly as much doing in the lace trade this week as last. The demand for cotton goods has fallen off, and the fancy trade continues extremely dull. In the silk departments there is still a fair amount of business doing in laces and edgings, which the prevailing fashions keep in demand. There is not much altera- tion in the hosiery trade. A little is doing both for the home and foreign market, and manufac turers are generally working to order. Yarns re main firm in price. There are no stocks of lace or hosiery on hand.
