• - - strange appearance, requested him to leave. _The-, man did so, and went home, fullowelb ; daughter, who, knowing him *eak.lva 12e might do some harm with the biltitirokitooptor, upon arriving at his home, asked for his wife. He was told that she was at work in a field near, and he went up to her and said, in the presence of ano ther woman, " Wife, I have done something which will hang me ; the police will soon be here." His wife, thinking that he had been drinking, took him home, and one of his daughters then took the bill hook from his hand. He remained in his house, sel dom speaking, until nearly 8 o'clock, when he was arrested ,by Superintendent Adams and Sergeant Bradshaw on suspicion of having murdered the de ceased woman. He did not answer the officers, and maintained silence on the journe ye y ve t r o a S l t s a p ff o o t i s .d o . f Ü bl i o -, o on a cted stains of b th lo e o e d oa ll t ,e h r e e i w ou o n re d b u e p in on g imt,iannudtesl inspe were also observed on the billhook, which bore the appearance of having been washed. It is, just the description of instrument which could inflict the gashes on the face and neck of the deceased. The police think that after the murder Cooper went to some stream, washed his hands, and the instrument referred to, and then proceeded on his way home. He is about 45 years of age, sft. 3in. in height, and his appearance is _very uncouth. Mr. Moore says that he is a man who, from his position, could not drink habitually, but who would nevertheless in dulge when he could. For some time past his con duct has been exceedingly strange, and his manner of addressing the inhabitants of the village where the murder was committed has, in several instances, led to the conviction that he is not sane, and this belief is strengthened when it is considered that he could have had no real motive in murdering the old wo man, who always treated him with the greatest kindness. It has been said that Mrs. Buckley was anxious to get rid of him on Friday ; but this asser tion has no foundation. Cooper has a wife and four children, the youngest being only a few months old, and his wife was in the habit of adding to their income by labouring for the different farmers in the neighbourhood of Coppenhall. The prisoner was brought up before Sir S. Villiers Surtecs and Mr. E. Mayne, at the Shire-hall, Staf ford, on Saturday morning. Mr. H ye c. on suspicion ue the(s pe crime, e c p r i k or ni s o o f oinlf t oe h trw e h ee j p v e owe ahr wilful was Cooper, s s sad d un ro h dt e e known a wno p ohf p e owr a nwu r eeta was th c ß h u a p e r r t g o l e e s d the police until late on the previous day, so that they had not been able to collect sufficient evidence to insure a committal that morning.

The half-yearly meeting of this company Was held at the offices, Moorgate-street, on Friday, Mr. 11. T. Frere, the president, in the chair. Mr. Smith, the secretary, read the report, an ab stract of which has appea red in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the lessees had kept the line in a highly satisfactory condition, looking forward probably to future profits to recompense them for present improvements. Ile was glad there had been a general improvement in the traffic, and he hoped it would continue. The directors proposed to declare a dividend of 4s. .9d. per share, and to carry over a balance of £2,463. This they were enabled to do in consequence of a resolution passed at the list meeting rescinding the reservation of a certain number of bonds under the agreement. There was nothing said as to the terms for parting with that privilege, and the directors agreed that the Societe d'Exploitation should pay the company £3,000 for giving up the privilege. So far it was like so much put into the shareholders' pockets, giving them certain funds in hand. The interest on the bonds falling due on Jan. Ist had heretofore been met by borrowing from the banker, which was undesirable. It acted against the com pany to be obliged to borrow money to pay interest on debentures falling due, and therefore they did not-increase the dividend, but thought it pradent to keep, the balance in reserve. He mentioned that 78 out of the 143 shares that were in excess of the sta tutable number had been received and cancelled. The shares in excess were not a question of fraud ; and they, had now 65 shares to replace those that were out, and as they came in they would be cancelled. The 143 shares had been bought in by the company as a reserve. They had but five direc tors, and since the last meeting death had taken two from them—Mr. Till and Mr. Blunt. They greatly appreciated the business talent of Mr. Till, and as for Mr. Blunt he never missed attend ance at any meeting of the company in London or Belgium except only on one occasion. It was most important to carry on the business of the com pany economically. The necessity for keeping up the establishment of the company to comply with the Belgian law involved a certain expense. They must pay their servants fairly, and the Board had voted £5OO per annum; if they found that four directors could do the business the allowance could be reduced to £4OO. Three directors were neces sary for the transaction of business. The directors had with great pains sought among the shareholders for a member to fill one of the vacancies, and had elected Mr. Thos.

TEETH AND PAIN - LESS *DENTISTRY.- The fear 01 pain and dread of operation inherent to all detcr very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a tystem of dentistry . perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite t ertaming, only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience.

Dixon in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, au abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, said this was now the second time the direc tors had asked the shareholders to agree to a divi dend on the ordinary stock of the company, and they had little doubt they would continue to go on gradually progressing from 1 per cent. to a more satisfactcory dividend. They were now closely con nected with the North British interests, which were steadily prospering. They had not divided more than they were justified in doing, and by taking that course they had laid by what would be a satis factory dividend for another half-year. He believed that next half-year they would have a dividend' of equal amount, if not more. (Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES seconded the motion, which was agreed to. A dividend was declared of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference stock, and 1 per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, less income tax, payable on the 18th inst.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly. 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and B r eakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &e., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, .but to accomplish the work a isum of at least £l,OO more will Ile required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is prop,)sed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, m your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and feed to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS ar earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22, . Finsbury-circus N.C. CITY OF GLASGOW UNION. The .half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Glasgow on Thursday ; Mr. J. R. Stewart in the chair. The report stated that the directors had obtained possession at M2rtinmas last of a portion of the property required for the main line, extending from Govan-street on the south to Bridgegate-street on the north (with exception of the slaughterhouses), which they cleared of buildings and handed over to the contractors on the Ist of January, 1866. The contractors accordingly had been actively engaged with the requisite preparations for carrying forward the works, and had commenced the viaduct at Adel phi-street. They had also made some progress with the piling necessary for - the construction of the bridge over the Clyde, and had, besides, sunk seve ral of the cylinders required for the piers. The re mainder of the property for the portion of the main linefrom the junction with the Glasgow and Paisley joint railway on the south, to East Nile-street on north, would be in the company's hands at Whit- Sunday next, and would be banded ovor to the contractors immediately thereafter. Tile requisition by the Glasgow andtouth-Western Railway Com pany for the construction of the passenger station at St. Enoch's-square had engaged the earnest at tention of the directors. The properties required for the southern approach to the station would also be in the company's hands by Whit-Sunday next. The company were also proceeding with the acquisition of the properties required to afford station accom modation to the Glasgow and South-Western Rail way Company. The latter company now held the statutory amount of the Union Company's stock, and they were now represented at the board by three directors. The report was unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors, Mr. J. Orr Ewing and Mr..J. Kink, were re-elected, and also Mr. H. Kerr, the retiring auditor. TRENT, ANCROLME, AND GRIMSBY. Col. Rich, R.E., has officially inspected this line. A great bridge over the Trent, which has been a work of some difficulty, was tested by six engines, weighing 160 tons, passing over it. The passenger traffic is to be commenced on the Ist of May. WIVENIIOE AND BRIGHTLINGSEA. This short line was opened last week, and worked by the Great Eastern. The only work of any im portance on the new line is a swing bridge at Aires ford Creek, DEMERARA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. A. Tinne in the chair. _ The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN said it was very satisfactory to the directors to meet the shareholders with an in crease in the dividend. It showed the favourable working of the concern, and the receipts from the Ist of January to the 23d of March showed an in crease of $3,004 as compared with same period' of 1865. Considering that they had made a reduction of 30 per cent. in their fares about two years ago, that increase showed that their affairs were in a good state. The line and rolling stock were in excellent condition, and the demands of increased business had rendered it necessary to provide additional sta tion accommodation, g nes They n had d ad tru s and also additional rolling k. T ordered two additional locomotive gc made an increase in the number of tnoanr He thought they might seeiahah look forward to the future for a suitable return on that outlay. lle concluded by moving the adop tion of the report. Mr. CHAMBERS, deputy-chairman, seconded the motion, and stated that he thought the improvement in the receipts on the railway fully justified the di rectors in the completion of the railway to Mahaica. lle bad recently received a letter from his partner in Demerara stating that the colony had vastly im proved, that the Chinamen and Coolies were work ing satisfactorily, while the blacks, from their idle ness and depravity, were dying out.. The railway was going on well, and there could not be a better man than Mr. Martin for its manager. The local directors were doing everything they could to benefit the concern. The estates in the district through which the line passed had improved more than those f an ywhere else, owing to the advantages afforded by the railway. The report was then unanimously adopted, and a dividend of 4 per cent. for the past half-year, 'being at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, was declared, payable on the 24th inst. M. BRAND said he was very well satisfied with what had been done by the directors. The retiring directors and auditor were re-elected. The proceedings concluded with the thanks of the Mr. GREIG seconded the motion. Mr. S. HER/OATH remarked that the surplus lands when sold would probably form a sufficient item to meet the requirements of the company, and thus leave the rent free for the payment of dividend. He considered that the charges against revenue were very heavy, and thought they might be reduced. The expenses for London and Belgium amounted to £3,111 a year. Mr. GoEz said it would be a great advantage to know whether any of those expenses were tempo rary, so as to guide them in calculating future re sults. It was right to keep a reserve in hand to pay the interest on the bonds when due. The CHAIRMAN explained that the Board had offered to sell the whole of the surplus lands at a fair price to the leasing company, but they had declined to purchase them. The plans of a vast number of small pieces of land belonging to the company had been prepared with a view to sell them. The managing director believed they would realize a much larger amount than they had asked from the lessees for them, but the company would not get so much as they had paid for those lands. The ex penses could not be reduced for many years to come, and would average £3,000 a year. The report was unanimously adopted ; a dividend of 4s. 9d. per share was approved, payable on the 15th of May ; Mr. T. D. Edwardes was elected a director of the company ; and-the proceedings con cluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. LEIMERG-CZERNOWITZ.

Copeuhall is a village containing scarcely 100 houses, situated on a slight eminence about three miles from the town named, and to the right of the Wolverhampton-road. At end of the village, and hardly 50 yards from the house and farm occupied by Mr. Ward, a widow woman named Ellen Buckley, who would have attained her 80th year had she lived a few months longer, has rented a small thatched cottage, containing only two rooms, for the last 20 years. Her husband, who was a labourer, died in October last, and Mrs. Buckley has since been supported by her two sons. one of whom lived with her, while the other is employed near Liverpool. She was a woman of exemplary character, and since the death of her husband has been in the habit of allowing a man named John Cooper, who worked as a labourer for Mr. Ward, and who lived at Dunston, about a mile and a-half away, to cat his dinner at her house. Cooper was seen to go there a little after 1 o'clock on Friday, and a passer-by, half an hour later, ob served Mrs. Buckley at her door. She was not seen again until half past 6 in the evening, when Mr. J. W. Moore, the proprietor of a neighbouring farm, called at the house to request her son to remove a ground roller that had been placed in the middle of the road in front of the cottage. Upon entering Mr. Moore found the woman lying on the floor, but, thinking she was in a fit, with which she was at times afflicted, he did not closely examine her then, but went away to procure assistance. When he re- turned he noticed that the woman was surrounded with blood, and, upon touching her arm he became aware that life was extinct. Au alarm was raised, a messenger was despatched to the police office at Stafford, and two officers were soon on the spot. The deceased was lying on her face, her head touching the fire-place, and her body in a straight position. ju s st a eaeAhnsoidffiecoiafltehxeampoinoartwioonmraevne,salendectkh,e fact utlniadterupho: pparently j a gged ears, there were two large Near the right arm theb odyinflicted w ; i w t hh while a shintentionarp cutto.oai a cross the e righta d cheekfrom had almost cut the jaw tthbreorusid% of the body was a lay a knife, and on the,ioth only one slice out of it, large loaf of bread, supposition that the deceased was cut leading to the r n n g m slice of bread a t h t e the o t d i time ea sheand (i l front i a u s struck,tile fae t blood ti upon the shoulders or the that there was no breast, the police have come to the conclusion that a the position l\lrs.

Cooper had then a billhook in his hand, and Wright, alarmed at his The third and last of thecourse of early spring flower shows of this society was held on Saturday in their grounds at Regent's-park. For the time of the year the show, though not unusually large, was eminently beautiful, and some of the specimens brought together were equal to any ever exhibited in the great displays of the full spring. They were arranged partly in the society's grand conservatory and in a large marquee erected near it, and the ex quisite taste and skill with which the various plants and flowering shrubs were grouped and so arranged as to set off their various colours and excellencies cannot be overpraised. The eye was almost dazzled by the immense variety of carefully blended tints, and the air was heavy with the fragrance of their bloom. The great charm of the collection was its magnificent display of roses. Some of these, con sidering the earliness, and, we may add, the unusual severity of an English spring, were really wonderful specimens of successful floriculture. It would be difficult even to summarise the names and merits of the many kinds shown. Suffice it to say, therefore, that they ranged in colour from white to pink, from pink to scarlet, and from scarlet to almost black. One called the Tea-scented President was a magnfr cent white flower, and attracted a great deal of at tention. There was also, as might be expected at this time, a fine collection of stovehouse dwarf rho d.odendrOns,- sonirlN v iiver were literally covered, and their foliage •ylasses of bloom.- The soft looking flowers of the pelargonium, too, were very Tine, though altogether not equal to the magni- ' flowerliec t excited splaonwtss. aof this class which, like the azaleas , are exhibited in their greatest perfection at the May Ago.o,edry deal fine of pineapplea ttention, amongas v Igo fruits been brought all the way from the Azores in the most perfect condition, and as the product of a plant which had been grown in England and transplanted to the Azores.

There were also excellent collections of auriculas andcalceo 'arias, and the size and beauty of the heartseases ex hibited attracted the greatest, admiration. The wea ther was all that could be wished for for the display, and the gardens, in the first light green of their spring foliage, looked beautiful.
