LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25. A CABINET MINISTER is • prophet not merely in his own county. The Duke of Nawcatrims has just been making a speech to the First Nottingham Administrative Battalion of Volun teers, and we cannot doubt that the remarks im• mediately addressed to the members of that corps were intended for a much wider audience. The interest of the Marin.= for the Cocorvias, and former MINISTER for WAR, in the Volunteer ques tion can indeed be scarcely lees than that of the Minister who is responsible in this country for the direction of the force. The movement, which commenced at home, was not long in extending to our dependencies, and their defence is now avowedly entrusted in a great and ever increas ing degree to Volunteers. Compelled thus to official reflection on the subject, the Duke of NEWCASTLE addresses his compatriots of Not tinghamshire with a far higher authority than belongs to the mere owner of Clam ber and of Worksop Manor. Nor can it be denied that in his speech he worthily fills the part at once of • county magistrate and of a minister of the empire. He has praise for the Volunteers of Notts, and with the praise is mingled advice and warning which are applicable to others as well as to them. We congratulate the First Nottinghamshire on the commendation they re ceived ; but we congratulate the country still more on the fact that those addresses to Volunteers are the most popular which are not wholly made up of commendation. The healthiest sign in the whole movement is that praise is felt to be de served only when it is combined with discriminat ing criticism. It is a proof that the youth of Eng land has taken to its task in no light holi day spirit, but that it is sensible of the responsibilities it has assumed, and honestly anxious to fulfil them. And the exist ence ef a fervent, deep-seated resolve thus evidenced, gives us assurance that the counsels and warnings which fall from the lips of the advisers of the Crown will not return void, and that when they come to be enforced by action they will meet the thorough support of the whole body of Volunteers. These counsels were in the main directed to a point which we have often before now brought under consideration. They referred to the dili gence of the officers as distinguished from that of the men—the distinction amounting practically to this, that if the men neglect their duty there will be no Volunteer army to take the field, while if the officers neglect their duty, the Volunteer army will in the field be annihilated. We shall not now, therefore, reiterate arguments on a theme so obvious, but content ourselves with quoting the words in which the Duke of NEwessme showed his appreciation of its importance. His Grace observed— if officers attended to their drill there was no fear of the battalion becoming efficient; if they did not, it was impos sible for the battalion to come up to the mark. The officers who did not attend to duty must necessarily labour under great di,ulvautages when they were called upon to act. There was no reason why this should be so now, seeing that any officer could go to Aldershott, where, in a very short time, he could acquire a good knowledge of his duty. That he never could acquire by the mere study of drill books; but if he would adopt the other course, the result would be of i mmense advantage, not only to himself, but to the men under his command. (Applause.) We had seen in another country, where a great war is now waging, the lamentable defect of a want of efficient officers. You might extem porise tolerable soldiers almost out of anybody. You take a few undisciplined men, and place them among those who are tolerably efficient.. The result is, they soon come up to the mark. So they become to a certain extent tolerably competent soldiers. But officers could not be made in this sudden way—they require time, skill, and study. Well, sow, look at that frightful struggle that had bees going on for a year and a half—and was it not pitiful to behold? He spoke not with regard to the army of that country, because he believed that it was composed of as fine a body of men as were ever seen—of as grand material as over an army was composed of ; but what were their offi• eon? He ventured to my that few of them were fit to command a regiment, much less a brigade or a division. He attributed that result to the fact that the men in com mand had not been trained to the work ; and it was against such disastrous results that be would warn volunteer offi. erns ci the imperative necessity of making themselves =eters of their duty. When opinions such as three are uttered by a Cabinet Minister we are certainly justified in believing that the Government of which lie is a member must speedily take measures to relieve the country from the apprehensions which he so war- L THE EXPRESS* SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1862. ratably expresses. Ass Duke, his Grace sumo% for remedy the giving of a prise to the best drilled company in Nottinghamshire .= but as Oalouill Secretary he must be prepared to support siltonger measures than such as would be applicable to the encouragement of turnip 'ausbandry. Neither the country nor the Volunteers themselves are dis posed longer to submit their efficiency to the caprices of some km among them who are content with playing at 'soldiers. There is, indeed, a real danger even in time of peace, arising out of the sufferance of irsoompetent officers. Not merely do they destroy the Volunteer spirit and effectually disband mraky a gallant company or bat talion ; not merely do they draw the ridicule of soldiers and civilians alike upon the very name of Volunteer, but they actually invite the enemies of the country to attack it, There may or may not be a possibility of our seeing realized the imagination which Lord Pautmerron annually conjures up when proposing the estimates, that some fine morning we may wake ep and find 30,000 Zousves thrown on our coast ; bat it is very certain that if anything could make that scheme appear practicable to a hostile general, it would be the knowledge that in the ranks of the opposing army there would be found regiments whose officers were incompetent, who might be safely relied upon to misunderstand and misperform the orders they received, and finally to lose their heads when the danger became most pressing. Better far were it for us that we were without Volunteers than that we should rely, or be sup posed to rely, in over so small a degree, upon Volunteers so led. And better far, if an invasion should take place, were it that our scanty force of regulars should be compelled to retire, than that it should be reinforced by the flower of England, to be mowed down in ranks because its leaders, as in America, knew not those simple rules of forma tion which are requisite for the safety of troops under hostile fire. The true remedy for this terrible peril is not far Ito seek. Every officer of the army has to stand an examination before a military board not merely on his first appointment but on every step of pro motion, and we do not usually consider officers of the army at all too highly educated for their work. Can we be content with less knowledge in Volunteer officers if we are to place them with regulars in the field ? Every officer in the army is moreover called upon daily to exercise his knowledge in the presence of a thoroughly qualified commander. It is, of course, impossible to obtain a like regularity of practice from Volunteer officers, but the neces sity is therefore the greater for securing the per fect efficiency of their colonels. Unfortunately, as a rule, the Volunteer colonels are the weakest links in the chain. Many never see their men, many are absent on all except some crack days of the season, still more habitually leave their corps to the command of a major or senior captain for months together. Thus negli gent, they cannot reprove negligence in others, nor have they even the opportunity of observing the faults of those below them. It is with them that the reform and the enforcing of responsibility must commence. Cost what it may in loss of political support to Government—in loss even of paper numbers of Volunteers—the country must have security—security for itself and for the lives of its defenders. We trust that the Duke of NEwcorrtz's speech indicates that Ministers have considered and resolved on this course. They may depend upon its receiving the unqualified support of all thorough Volunteers ; and they may depend also upon that class being largely aug mented so soon as they relieve it from the incubus and disgrace of those whose Volunteer service is a pretence and a sham. ebe Court.

We understand that thia event is to be cele brated with great splendour by the members of the York shire Union Club on the 12th of November. The members of this club comprise the leading aristocracy and gentry of the county, and the entertainment will take place in the York Assembly-rooms, which, as a suite of apartments for ruch a gathering, are perhaps unequalled in the provinoes. These rooms, designed by the Earl of Burlington, have been re. ceutly decorated at a great expense, under the direction of Owen Jones. The supper will be served in the Festival Concert-hall, which communicates internally with the Assembly.roorna. The decoration of the Concert-hall has been placed in the hands of first-rate artists. Conte and Tinney's quadrille band, comprising many of the best instrumentalists in the metropolis, have been retained to occupy the orchestra in the ball-room. The supper and other refreshments will be upon the most liberal scale ; and we hear that the various arrangements con ducive to the gratification of the visitors are being ener getically carried out by the gentlemen who form the com mittee of management. The invitation cards to the fele have been most extensively sent out, and, as may be ex • peeled, the fashionable world is looking forward to the event with considerable gratification. The festivities will be kept up by a second ball on the following evening, in aid of the County Hospital. The Lyons journals announce that the Prince of Wales and the Prince Royal of Prussia, during their late visit to that city, made considerable purchases of alike and velvets from the principal manufacturers.

The Londonaommittee of the Lancashire Opera tives Relief Fa:IMM their weekly meeting yesterday, at the Mantes-house, The Lord Mayor presided, and Mr. Alder rasa Has, the lord mayor elect, Mr. Lye" Mr. Hower', Mr. Morley, Mr. Armitage, and Mr. Otbbs were preesek It appeared from the floancial statement, that the leis/ amount which had been received up to Thursday afternoon, was 88,7421. 19s. 7d., of which sum the week's receipts amounted to 16,1951. Is. 6d. The total amount which the Landon committee have already remitted for distri• butioa exclusive of the grants made ymterday, was 43,4841. It was reported by the superintendent of the clothing dep6t at Bridewell Hospital, that eiuoe the establishment has been opened 240 bundles of clothing of every description had been received. For some time past the attention of the committee has been occupied by a difference which has arisen between two committees at Ashton-under•Lyne. It appears that a committee has been formed under Mr. Gartaide the town clerk of Ashtou-under-Lyue, which committee distribute relief round the out-districts of Ashton, as well as those in the immediate vicinity of the borough itself ; whereas the other com mittee, of which Mr. Hugh Mason is the secre tary, merely afford relief to the distressed in the borough itself. A deputation from the gene ral committee waited upon the Lord Mayor on Thursday afternoon, for the purpose of obtaining some assistance, and those gentlemen attended yesterday at the meeting of the ' committee, and after some discussion it was decided to make a grant of 1,000/. to the general committee of which Mr. Outside was secretary, sad 5001. to Mr. Mason's com mittee, with the understanding that the latter would have been 1,0001. but that they received 1,0001. from the central committee on Monday. Just as this arrangement was concluded, two gentlemen of Mr. Mason's committee arrived, and wished the grant of 1,0001. to the general committee to be deferred until after a meeting had been held which was convened for next Wednesday. The Lord Mayor and the committee, however, were of opinion that they could not go into the matter between the two committees, inasmuch as their only duty was to relieve the poor. in addition to the above grants to Ashtoomoder- Lyne the committee directed the following sums to be for warded :—Healey, 1001. ; Greet and Little Marsden, 2001. ; Birch, 75/. ; Failsworth, 200/. ; Haslingden and Musberry, 200/. ; St. Catherine's and St. Os vral4 2001. • Blsckley, 100/. ; Tongs, 100/. ; Baxeoden ' 1001. ; Heyward, 500/. ; Ilawtenstall, 2501. ; St. George's, Oldham-road, 1501. ; Droylesdeo, 150/. ; Hulme sewing elms, 150/. • Massey, 200/. ; Salebury, 501. ; St. John's, Chadderton, 501.; Hahne, 500/. ; St. Peter's, Oldham-rod, 3001. ; Glossop, 2501. ; Preston, 1,0001..

The committee have already received several applies time for clothing since the late change in the weather, but they cannot be entertained until they can command • greater supply than they have as yet. A bundle of coats, trowsers, boots and shoes, and women's gowns was, however, directed to be sent for the assistance of a clothing depot which has been established at Preston—that being the first issue of clothing by the London cummittee ; but they hope within a very short period to be able, through the assis tance of the public, to send large quantities. A letter was received from the Relief Committee at Hyde, stating that they wished, if possible, to release the bedding, clothing, he., which had been pledged by the distressed inhabitants, acd they bad applied to all the pawnbrokers where the articles lay, asking them to give up the articles upon pay ment of the money advanced, without charging any inte rest, and they had all, without one exception, agreed to do so.

The University of Cambridge (says the A thenerum) is getting on in arithmetic, and learning bow to apply it to the affairs of life and the topics of the day. The following questions are extracted from among those given at the " previous examination," • " little go," on the 14th instant:—" Lord Dundreary is now twentyais years of age, and be is two years older than his brother. In what year was his lordship half 'as old again as his brother? A publican sells beer at 21 a glass to University mon, and at lid. • glass to townsmen ; an undergraduate by not wearing his gown peones with the publics' for • townsman, bat but being caught by the proctors at the end of forty day; he finds his savings in beer will only just ray his fine of 6s.

Count de Paris awl the Duke de Chartres arrived at Hamburg on Tuesday from Mecklenburg. Despatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial-office to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Island.. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR owl./ PARIS, FRIDAY EVINDPG. Bullier's Correspondence asserts to-night that M. de Sartigues is instructed to demand from the King of Italy a public and unequivocal renunciation of his claim to have Rome for a capital ; and that, at the same time, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne will ask the Pope to accept aocomplished facts, and content himself with Rome and the patrimony of St. Peter for temporal dominions. This is the new policy of " conciliation " which M. Drouyn de Lhuys has taken upon himself the policy of nego tiating. Everybody knows—and no one better than M. Drouyu de Lhuys—that the double nego tiation will signally fail ; but as the failure merely means the continuance of the French occupation, with or without a new excuse, the Foreign Minister, as an ultramontanist and an enemy of Italian unity, finds his account in consenting to play the farce. M. Rattazzi, lam sorry to think, would accept the terms dictated by France, but he dares not say so openly because then he would be no longer minister. Bullier's Correspondence itself expresses the opinion that, whether Rattazzi resigns at once or appeals to the constituency, the " party of action " is destined to replace him. The France shares this opinion, but urges the King to take Massimo d'Azeglio for his minister and authorise him to make a coup It is not wonderful, under the above circum stances, that Viscount de la Gueronnibre's name should be in the first list of invited guests to Compibgne. The Emperor came to the Tuileries from St. Cloud to-day to preside at a sitting of the Council of State, in which was discussed the great and long vexed question whether any and what; change should be made in the laws regulating the supply and price of bread in Paris. It is be lieved that the Emperor inclines to throw the bakers' trade open ; but the mass of evidence taken by a committee of inquiry, which has been at work for upwards of a year, contains many contradictory opinions. The council sat upwards of two hours. According to present arrangements, the court goes to Compiegne on November 2, and on the 16th the Emperor will come to Paris for the inauguration of the Boulevard Prince Eugene, on which occasion he will make a speech. As his November speeches have been so important for the last two years, this one is naturally looked forward to with much curiosity. The Bourse was affected to-day by the report (which seems to be true) of an insurrection in Greece, and upon the principle of misfortunes nut corning singly, it was added that King Otho had fled, and, moreover, that the King of Prussia had abdicated. Although the latter news was not be lieved, the Bente declined, but recovered towards the close, with a fall of only 20c. and 15c. The Italian Loan fell 40c. In other securities there was little change. Mr. Dillon was buried to-day at St. Germaine. A large concourse of friends followed him to the grave. He was only thirty-four years old, and leaves a mother and sister, who are said to have been dependent upon him. An " instruction "is commenced against the Duke de Gramont Cade rousse, but it is reported that he and the four seconds have fled to Belgium. They will probably not be long absent, as the French laws with respect to duelling are extremely lenient, and the sentences in the rare cane of a conviction seldom more than nominal. A priest named Abbi Bieron, curd of Saint- Utomer, in the department of the Vienne, has just been convicted of debauching several young girls, among whom were some entrusted to him by their parents to prepare them for the first communion ; the scoundrel is sentenced to five years' imprison ment. It ig stated by the Paris correspondent of the Nord that the unfortunate Mr. Dillon, who was killed in the duel described in yesterday's !express, was entirely ignorant of the use of the sword, and that he was run through at the first pass. Walking the other day on the beach at Biarritz, the Emperor Napoleon, it is said, happened to meet an intelligent-looking boy, about eight or nine years old, who took off his hat as be passed. The Emperor courteously returned the salute, and said, " Are yuu English !°' " No," answered the boy very quickly, and drawing him self up, " I'm American." "Oh ! American are you? Well, tell me which are you for, North or South r " Well, father's for the North I believe, but I am certainly for the South. For which of them are you, sir?' The Emperor stroked his moustache, smiled, hesitated a little, and then said, "I am for both." " For both are you? Well, that's not so easy, and it will please nobody." Be Majesty let the conversation drop. and walked on. The Emperor Napoleon left St. Cloud on Thum day morning for Baron de Rothschild'a seat of Ferrires, on a shooting excursion, as announced. Before taking his de parture his Majesty reosived Sir John Bowring, who de livered his credentials as Envoy F e xtraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of the Hawaiian Ishieds. It is understood that the Italian government have contracted with the Millwall Iron Works for a war steamer of 2,030 toes, fitted with cupolas on the principle of Captain Coles. The engines of 700 horse power are to be by Messrs. fdaudslay and Co. The German journals are much amused at an error lately committed by the Augsburg Gazette. That journal, in publishing a despatch from Turin, which an nounced the amnesty granted to Garibaldi, concluded It by these words :—" It is on the intercession of the Pope that King Victor Emmanuel decided on this act of clemency." The above-named journal bad mistaken the name of the Pi:Moses Pia for that of the heed of the church. The A beilit du Nord, of St. Petersburg, exps- Cates with much severity against the acts of the cabinet of Berlin, and against its alliance with the feudal party. MORRIBLJF MURDER NEAR CIRENCESTER. Yesterday (Friday) morning a painful state of excitement was created at UrencesteL by the news th►t • barbarous murder had been committed it the pleasant vil lage of itendcombe, about four miles from this town, on the Cheltenham road, the victim being a young woman named Sarah Moss, and the murderer • man named Wm. Yealing, who was engaged to be married to her. The murderer, William Meeting, is about 26 or 27 years of age, and is au agricultural labourer. He is a tall, thin young man, with a stupid exprerion of counteciance and un gainly appearance, and with the stooping gait peculiar to 'men of his claw His White and mother are labourers in the same parish, and bear a respectable character. Sarah Moss, the unfortunate victim of this dreadful crime, was about 32 years of age, and had been for some time staying at the cottage of her father, which is situate in a secluded part of the road, neer the mange. She was formerly io the service of the Rev. Mr. Blossoms, of North Nibley, and while there she formed an acquaintance with • young farmer in the neighbourhood, which resulted in toe birth of a child, which has since been affiliated, and the father contributes ls. 6d. a week towards its maintenance. This child is now three years old. The mother of Sarah Moss was burnt to death some years since, and the house hold, until about last Chri s tm as , consisted of the deceased, her child, and her father, an infirm old man of about 80 and very deaf. Shortly before Christmas last the prisoner left his father's cottage and went to live at MOllllll house. A very close intimacy took place between Healing and Sarah, and the woman was at the time of the murder very near her confine ment. The banns of marriage between the parties had been put up at the pariah church, and the wedding was to have taken place immediately. The deceased had saved 61. or 71. for the occasion, and she asked Mr. Riddiford, the super intendent of police at Cirencester, to intercede for her with the father of her child, and try and get him to give ber 51. more. Mr. Riddiford, it appears, was in the habit of re ceiving her child's money from its father, and handing it over to her. On Saturday lut the parties quarrelled, and Meiling re. turned to his father's house, where he stayed until Thurs day, the night of the murder. On Thursday evening he went back to Moss's, and his mother and other persons were present. • A reconciliation apparently took place, and Mauling and his victim went to bed, her child sleeping in the same room. About 3 o'clock yesterday morning Mealing went to the house of Timothy Tarrant, the village blacksmith, who is also the parish constable, and having aroused him, informed him that he had killed a woman. Tarrant at first was in credulous, but at length he went to Moss's cottage, and there he found that it was too true, the poor woman being quite dead, with her throat cut and her child crying, as if it could realise the dreadful facts of the case. An alarm was created, and the prisoner, who bad gone to his father's house, was placed in safe char ge. Information was sent to Cirencester, and Mr. Superintendent Riddiford, Sergeant Eylea, and Constables Dash and Townsend were as soon as possible at the scene of the awful tragedy. Mr. Riddiford found the body of the ill-fated woman lying on her left side, with her arms crossed, and her throat literally cut from ear to ear. The bed was saturated with her blood, which was running through the floor into the mom below. From the calm and tranquil appearance of the body, and the absence of blood on her hands, it would seem that the murder was suddenly committed, while she was asleep. Mr. Riddiford hs possession of the instrument with which the fatal deed was perpetrated. It is a common black-handled razor, with the words " shilling razor" on the blood-stained blade, which is aka notched like a saw. The prisoner, after murdering the poor woman, robbed her of her purse and money. This money, =misting of six sovereigns, one half-sovereign, • threepenny piece, and three pennyworth of coppers, he gave to his mother, from whom Mr. Riddiford received it. The dreadful news was attempted to be communicated to the aged father of the deceased, but be appeared to persist in believing that she had only bees confined, for which he wan prepared, but the nal facts he could not be made to comprehend. The prisoner was removed to the police-station at Ciren cester, where be appears to be in a most dejected and miser able plight, and evidently fully alive to the horror, of his position. Hu face and bands were bloodstsioed. The circumstances which gave rise to the murder can at present only be guessed at, but the matter will be folly in vestigated both by the magistrates and the coroner, the result of which we shall duly make known. THE ULLINGSWICK MURDEP. INQUEST ON THE BODY. HEREFORD, THCHSDAY. This morning Mr. N. Sanikarne, the coroner for this division of the county, held an inquest upon the body of Diary Corbett, who bad been brutally murdered on the night of Monday last. The inquisition took place at the Prince of Wales Inn, whither the body was removed after finding it in an orchard, as already reported. The prisoner (Hope) has been previously convicted of felonious charges, and was in 18W sentenced tonven years' transportation, but only served three of that term, when he returned to Ullingswick on a ticket-of-leave, and has since been twice convicted of mis demeanour, for which he has served terms of imprisonment. Dr. Bull, of Hereford, made • post-mortem examination of the body, assisted by Mr. Hill, surgeon of Bodenhern. The clergyman of the parish, Rev. J. M. Wars, was in Kneed awe. The first 'Fitness called was Mrs. Elisabeth Skerrett, the mistress of the deceased, who deposed to the circum stances under which she had disappeared. Mary Bevan said-1 am a married woman, and my hus bend is a drainer. I live at the half-way house is Ullings wick, and keep a shop and beer-house. I knew Diary Corbett, from her having come to the shop. Mrs. Skerrett 's is about =yards from my house. On Monday night Mary Corbett came to my house for candles, about ten minutes before 10 o'clock. Any one going to the shop as a customer would have to go through the kitchen. The only persons there were Hope and John Prosser. Prosser was asleep, and Hope had some beer. As she was about to go out Hope asked her to have some beer. and she said she did not want any that night. She then left, and Hope, without speaking, got up and went out. He left about • glue and a half or two glasses in the jug. I did not 1430 him or 1110 deceased after. I never saw them together before, nor have I seen either of them since. Prisoner—Did I stop in the house ten minutes after the girl left? Witheas—No, you did not. By • juryman—Hope gave the girl • glass of beer when she was down before, when she came for beer for her mistress. I did not see him attempt to take any liberties with her. It was about eight o'clock. Richard Mapp said—l am • labourer, and live in this parish, and about 150 yards from Bevan 's beer-chop. .1 have seen Mary Corbett at Skerrett's, and I knew Hope, who got his living by labouring about. I did not see either of them on Mouday night. I went to bed about ten, and imme. diataly after I heard two screams. I got out of bed and went to the window. It was of a female calling out, "Oh dear, oh," as if is distress. I opened the window, but did not hear anything more, as the wind was very blnatenins. My cottage is about seventy yards from that part of the rued where the marks of struggling where. I fancied the screams to come sideways to my house, which would be in the direction of where the struggle took place. William Weaver-1 am a thatcher and live in Ullingurick, I have known deceased since she was *child. I also know Hope. On Monday night 1 slept at George Hope's, a brother of the prisoner. William Hope does not live with him. It rained heavily, and when I went oat to wash at 7 o'clock I found deceased in a field at the back of the house. I could see it was a person as if covered over with • black shawL I called George Hope, and said there was some thing lying under the hedge. We both went to see what it was. We went rouod through the gate instead of getting over the hedge. I saw it was a female quite stiff, and George Hope put his foot to her. She was sitting with her head hanging over her right shoulder. Her clothes were down, her face was covered with mud Had blood, and her hair was in • disorderly state all over her face. The shawl was thrown over her, up to about her face. The shawl was dirty and wet. She had the appearance as if she had been rolled in mud and blood. The shawl pro- duced by the police is that which covered her body. George Hope opened the gate and went to her, and only found some heel or toe marks sear the body. 1 went to fetch Insole, and thin. went after the constable. When bringing her up here I found the place where the struggle had taken place, iu a corner on the aide of the read, and picked up the net now produced, which I gave to the constable, Frederick Pugh. The net was as near as I could tell to where her heed was in the lump of dirt where the struggling we. Ifad no thought it was a native. Inquired if any stranger had been seen about. It seeniedlike a murder, and we took care not ta!disturb any footmarks, . . — Gearge Hope confirmed the evidence of the last witness. and added that he found the frail produced at a corner of the orchard full of turnips. The cord was them attached to it. He heeled that it was bin brother's frail, but he could not swear that it was. His brother did not live with him. Sarah Prosser said lam the wife of James Prosser, a sawyer, and live in Ulliepwick. I know Hope, who bad lodged with me four weeks. He worked at hedging and draining for anyone who could employ him. My rule was that Hope was to be in at ten or be locked out. We never lucked him out before Monday ni&t. I went to bed at half-past nine. If he bad come I should have let him in. He did sot come. I saw him on Tuesday morning, about half-past seven, when he said he was going to work for Mr. Hill, of the Green. I bad Dot seen him from Monday morning until that time; he then came for his breakfast. Did Dot observe that he was dressed when he went out. When he returned be had his short slop on and trousers in which he usually works. Did not see him go away from the house. He had not much change of clothes. I cannot say whether the frail produced is prisoner's, but be bad one similar to it, which used to be hung at the back of the house. Never noticed whether there was a cord attached to it. He used bis frail to carry his food. I did not see the frail on Monday. My husband has frail, which is bung up there now. Hope took the Jacket sow produced on Monday morning, and be did not bring it thick again on Tuesday. It wu not dirty when he took it out. . _ . ......._ .. ___. James Weaver, a thatcher, said—l reside in Ullispwick. On Tuesday, about four o'clock in the eveniog, while ea soy road home, and in consequence of what I had beard respect. mg the affair, I went into • piece of plantation to look fw the jacket that was missing, and near to where were tie MA/ of struggling I found a jacket (the one produced) rolled up tight and concealed in the stump o f an old tree I pulled it out, and on the morrow placed it io the WWI, of the police. It was about 110 yards or so from *lim e the struggle took plans. Daniel Harwood, superintendent of police at Bmniyard, examined—l was on my way to Hereford on Tuesday Is.; and from information I received I came down here, and found Simpson, in whose compaoy I went to where tie marks of struggling were seen. 1 examined the spot very minutely, but could not find footmarks, from previous nut and trampling, but found two places as if the toes of boot , had made indentations in the earth on some clay that h a d been thrown out of the ditch au impression of a pev at lying on her back. from the buttock and beck of the h ea d also (timid several knee marks, as if some one had b een kneeling. The knee marks were produced by a peculiar sort of ribbed stuff. I then got a spade and in tie pie. seance of Simpson I dug up the plainest of the impreasiots, which I now produce. I also produce impressions from the trousers of prisoner; the difference in the impresses. is accounted for by the trousers being worn in some put. I then wept to primmer and examined his trousers, now p re doced. I found them very dirty about the knees. It is k twill ribbed cord, and appears to have mode the impressions referred to. On the fall of the trousers I also found blood, and also upon certain portions of his linen ; also dirt u p on his shirt corresponding with the dirt upon his trousers an d upon the wristbands of his shirt ; also found dirt upon th e slop he was wearing ; also examined his boots and found several places as if nails bad been recently taken out. Mrs. Bevan was recalled—Hope had on a jacket when he went out after the girl. The jacket produced was titt which he wore at the time ; she knew it by a rent in the left-hand pocket. Mrs. Sarah Hill raid—My husband's name is Jacob Hal. I undressed deceased ; I also laid out the body on Tuesda ; morning ; her clothes were very dirty ; she had not been washed. I found blood upon her face, sod her outside gar. movie were wet. When I got the dirt off ber face I found two marks under the thin ; I found a great deal of blood upon the front tail of bar chemise. r Mr. Henry Graves Bull maid—l am a surgeon, living io Hereford. In conjunction with Mr. Hill I have, by the directions of the coroner, made a full postmortem examine. time. A most elaborate report was then given in. Afte•, speaking of the injuries inflicted upon the body it sad death resulted from asphizia or suffocation of the now. mouth and throat. The marks of violence had been pro duced by a left and right hand. No other signs to &mum for death were found upon the Cody. Violation bad ben completed with very great tome. Could not ay whether violence had been completed before suffocation. Some further evidence wu given, in which the fra produced was identified as having been in the possession of the prisoner on the night of the murder.

At the conclusion of Mr. Cobden's speech ye,. terday, at Manchester, several remarks were made io port of Mr. Cobden I views, and the chairman of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce hoped that Mr. Cobden would he able to deliver an address on this subject in Liverpool. The hon. gentleman, however, stated that after addressing his constituents at Rochdale, on Wednesday, be would be obliged to go into winter quarters to prewrve for voice for the meeting of parliament. A hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr. Cobden. One of the preachers at the " Gospel Hall,' o pposite the Exhibition building, writes in the Chapel Hag Record :—" On Friday, the sth, there was a commissionaire that was engaged in the Exhibition in some department ; he came and stood in front of the Bible stand; be was asked to come behind: I took him there ; the man was broken it heart. I put the gospel before him, and be embraced me, and went borne that night rejoicing in a knowledge of his sins forgiven." The conversion of the commissionaire has been corroborated by an official document The rote. missionairee have all been in the army, and are tho, roughly accustomed to the style of making reports to their superior officers. The commissionaire in guano& having been converted, felt it his duty to report the fact to his employers, and has, we (Morning Post) believe, sent to the royal commissioners a lengthy report upon the subject Apropos of cock-fighting and game-cock rearing, the following story is told by Mrs. Gordon, in the " Life d Professor Wilson," just published :—" On Sunday, is St. John's Chapel, Edinburgh, an old gentleman, a friend of my father's, was sitting gravely in his seat, when a lady in the same pew moved up, wishing to speak to him.
