Superintendent James Adams, of the Stafford shire constabulary, deposed that he arrested Cooper on Friday night. fle said nothing. The billhook produced had blood stains upon it, and the luncheon bag belonging to the prisoner was also stained with blood. PILICF 4d. STAMPED sd. Police-Sergeant Bradshaw, who accompanied the ast witness, corroborated him. Ile added that Lhere were stains of blood under the arm of the should be supported at all hazards, and every en couragement sfiould be extended towards the inven tor of any machine destined to confer advantages upon mankind. He had a labour-saving machine which would require no space for its exhibition ; and yet, in its beneficial results to mankind, in its e3onomy of labour, and in its general importance, it was unsurpassed. It would stimulate agriculture ; it would furnish a new impetus to manufactures ; it would cause general businesstobe active and profita ble ; it would increase our exports; it would put money in the T reasury ; it would st..,atter plenty over the land ; and it would give active and profitable em ployment to the labouring classes. _Furthermore, the machine cos t nothing, there was no patent on it, it was free to all, and it w as already perfected and could be put in operation at once. By this time the curiosity to know what labour-saving machine Mr. Delmar intended to introduce was aroused to the highest pitch. Slowly drawing from his coat pocket the resolutions in favour of a revenue tariff, which were published in yesterday's Evening Post, the speaker 'concluded, " The machine which I have ventured to eulogise so highly is nothing more nor less, gentlemen, than free trade --or rather, that near approach to it which is to be found in a tariff which has for its object revenue, and in which pro tection is merely the unavoidable incident." The New York correspondent of the Ti me; who has always hitherto insisted that the people of the United States were substantially in accord with the President andopposed to the Congress, now says I d t ica is t m io y ns d l u e t a y d to to in th fo e rn c i on y c o l u usi t o h n at ti t ta h t e the country and in is no longer going with the President. Almost every man, from almost every State, receives letters warning him daily that Mr. Johnson is going over to the Copperheads, and that he must not support him. This kind of communication between mem bers of Congress and their constituents is very com mon, and it influences greatly the treatment of public affairs. After gathering together the opinions of many classes of representatives and well sifting them the residuum is this—that the people are afraid the President is going too fast. But a slight occurrence may change this feeling ; one vic tory or two on the part of theTtadicals would probably have that effect, for the people do not want to see them carry everything all their own way. It is an intensely difficult situation. It is so impossible to get at the real bearing of public opinion in this country (except by the general Congressional elections) that any judgment which could be ex pressed as to' the probable upshot of the present struggle would be untrustworthy. 'Which way are the people going ?' is the question in every-one's jacket which the prisoner wore. When in custody at Stafford the prisoner, suddenly taking witness's hand, said, " You attacked me first." Henry T. Lour;,x, surgeon, deposed that, in con junction with Mr. Cookson, he on Saturday after noon made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased. On the right cheek there were two wounds, about two inches in length, the upper one superficial and the lower one pawing through the cheek into the mouth and under the tongue. The lower jaw -bone was shattered into fragments. There was another large wound, extending from behind the right ear to the thyroid cartilage in front. It was very deep, and exposed the vertebral column. The point of the instrument had separated all the main vessels. On the left and back side side of the neck was another large wound, and there were other small wounds. He should think that they were produced by a billhook. Upon that produced there was blood, as also was there upon the coat. The wounds had apparently• been given from behind. Mr. S. Cookson, surgeon, gave similar evidence. The Coroner then summed up. He said the jury had heard all the evidence which the diligence and assiduity of the police could place before them. The case was one which rested upon circumstantial evi dence. No one except the Almighty saw the deed committed, and, therefore, if they came to the con clusion that the deceased came to her death by be ing murdered they would be acting upon circum e e s v t d n e t i n a c l e e s v t i a d g e e n c b e y . T a g h e e r b w u would a t go of t t h h e r o t u w g o h 8 r t h g in e o t n h s eir vi mindsoul d, hea s to t the h u h p t 0 , l r e a w v o e m v a e u ry h l a i t v t i l u e o. d b o u e b e u t murdered. The evidence, from the first, pointed to the man John Cooper. On the day of the murder he had suddenly left his employment after dinner, and he was afterwards seen with a billhook, which he had left at Mrs. Buckley's, in hi s hand, ' so that he must have called there. The • jury,h owever, must take one thing with another, and, link by link, form a chain of facts which would enable them to come to some conclusion. --- The jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against John Cooper. Naval and Military Intelligence. An official announcement was received at Wool wich on Sunday evening, from the Horse Guards, informing the officials of the garrison that the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief would visit the departments on the following morning, at 10 a.m. A portion of the Royal Artillery troops was accordingly brought out and paraded at the review ground an hour in advance. Major-General Warde, C. 8., Commandant, attended by his aide de-camp, Capt. Williams, and the official staff of the garrison, and accompanied by Major-Gen. Sand ham, Lieut.-Governor of the Royal Military Aca demy, Col. Maxwell, commanding the division of Royal Marines, and the officers commanding bri gades and divisions, comprising a numerous assem blage of mounted officials, mustered and received the Duke on the Royal Artillery parade. His Royal Highness, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Clifton, Aide-de-Camp in attendance, rode down to Wool wich, having been preceded by Lieut.-Gen. Sir James Hope Grant, Adjutant-Gen., Col. Gambier, C. 8., and Capt. Forbes, Deputy, and Dep.-Assist.- Adjts.-Gen., and other officers. After the cus tomary ceremonies of reception the duke was escorted to Woolwich-common, where the following were drawn up in line :—Three troops of Royal Horse Artillery, two batteries of field artillery mounted, and one battery of garrison artillery dis mounted. The proceedings consisted simply of the usual general reception, an inspection of the line, and the marching past, which occupied an hour, after ' which the troops retired to quarters, and the duke and attendants proceeded to an inspection of the Herbert Hospital. At half-past 12 his royal high ness lunched at the mess quarters, and, as his oourob ject in visiting Wool w i c h was s t a t e d t o b e princi pally to inspect,epratn at the o for Ha lifax, e new guns a n thed equipments ue i n so of preparation rode down to the Arse na l f or th a t purpose. These guns consist of 12 9-inch and 20 7-inch calibres, two of which, having been complet e d and mounted on wrought iron carriages manufactured on the new principle, were deposited in the pattern-room for the special inspection of the Commander-in-Chief, and appeared to meet his thorough approbation. The carriages are fitted with elevating arcs, fixed securely to the gun, so as to render the movement a work of much greater facility than by Col. Clark's old system of loose bands. The duke also inspected the 600- pounder Armstrong gun split a short time ago under proof at Shoeburyness, and now in the gun factory at Woolwich to be _taken to pieces. The duke afterwards went over the gun-mounting department attached to the Royal Carriage-square, and inspected the various ambulance and general service wag gons about to be despatched to Halifax, and wit nessed the method of mounting the heavy guns by means of the hydraulic crane, and calling the atten tion of Sir J. Hope Grant, inquired if proper ap pliances for that purpose were provided in Halifax, or whether a man-of-war could Supply the emer gency.

HYDE LEA, Monday. Mr. William Morgan, coroner, held an inquest at the Crown Inn, Hyde Lea, near Coppenhall, onthe body of Ellen Buckley, who was found murdered in her cottage at the last-named place on Friday evening. Colonel Hogg, the Chigf Constable of Stafford shire, was present on behalf of the police authorities. James Buckley, son of the deceased, deposed that he was a farmer's labourer, and that he lived with his mother at Coppenhall. She was a widow, aged 78 years. He left her in her usual good health at half-past five o'clock on Friday morning. A man named John Cooper had for the last three years been in the habit of eating his dinner at their house, and of late had spent a great deal of his time there--too much of it, in fact. He did not know the billhook produced, but he was aware that Cooper worked with one like it. There had been no quarrel between Cooper and Mrs. Buckley, although the latter had been rather sharp with him lately because of his disposition to stay too long at his meals. _ _ Mr. John William Moore, farmer, of The Tol Dunston, deposed that he was passing through Coppenhall at 20 minutes past 6 o'clock on Friday evening. He observed a ground roller lying in the road, and thinking that it might occasion an acci dent he went to the cottage to request that the last witness should remove it. Upon opening the door he saw the deceased lying on the floor. Much alarmed, and thinking that she had ruptured a blood vessel, he went for assistance. On his return with a shepherd named Salt, he turned the body over, and then found that her neck was fearfully cut in two places, and that her face had been gashed across one cheek. A handkerchief she wore round her neck had been cut in two or three places, as if pierced with some sharp instrument. Suspecting the man Cooper, he at once sent for the police. Samuel Mainwaring deposed that he is a labourer working for Mr. Ward, farmer, of Coppenhall. John Cooper, of- Dunston, was also employed there. Cooper and he went to dinner at twenty minutes to one o'clock on Friday, and when he (witness) returned to the farm the deceased re quested him to come and turn Cooper out of the cottage. Cooper was then sitting on one side of the fireplace, smoking, with thebill-hook produced dangling between his legs. He would not return to work until his master fetched him, and then, after having tied straw for about half an hour, he suddenly left. Cooper was sober, but did not talk much. Arthur Ward, farmer, of Coppenhall, deposed to having fetched Cooper from the deeeased's house. He had then nothing in his hand. As Mainwaring left the cottage the deceased said, " The master's coming," and before he (witness) entered Cooper would have time to put the billhook away. Francis Handley, wheelwright, in the employ of Mr. Ward, deposed that he saw Cooper leave the rick-yard at about half-past 2on Friday afternoon. He went in thedirection oflMrs. Buckley's house. George Allsop deposed that on Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock, he saw Cooper about 300 yards from deceased's house, walking very sharply in the direction of Dunston. Thomas Pickstoff, farmer, gave similar evidenc e. He then had a billhook in his hand. Aaron Mincher deposed to seeing Co u pe o rv;l r l i Z g . towards his own home at about 3 o' clock He had something under his left arm. Edward Pursall, shoemaker, heath, also saw Cooper about t with Cooper's had a billhook under his , u a n n st d ol i i i - e Hannah Glover deposed ,i h v o h n a l t e b o r n in F g r s id y a o y u thatai . , s h h e e same w aswatiti hen Ward has turned me away. afternoon. r m at I , l r i h s .do h g o “ u ir le isr w l.i woman.

She no ticed blood on the back of one of his hands, and he trembled very much, while the perspiration dropped from him. Patience Hill, servant to Mr. Ward, deposedthat early on Friday morning Cooper remarked to her that he felt very queer.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dlead of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availin e ,r , 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 system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a specialite ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal lttters 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. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. bets from sto 25 ga., warranted. T II E U X F OR D, 6, OXFORD-STREET, W.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise *ould have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they aro homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, e ac h night numbers of young wom en, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittauce, 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 sum of at least .1,1,000 more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for, the pur pose will allow, to give bread and co als to poor tanailies in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun andll you help to give shelter to the really homeless, food to the really starving ?

While nearly all English ; and 10, MOSLEY-STREET, MAN- men love freedom, the immense majority at th LONDON ; 50; BOLD-STREET, 7EIIOOOI, o same time are convinced that it is best secured t e CHESTER. • us by the Constitution under 1 - thich we live. The only foes to liberal principles are to be found among those who really love tyranny, whether under th e forms of despotism or democracy ; and the only party that can be considered a s truly anti-Conser vative is that which candidly a ssumes to itself the designation of Radical. And it is worthy of note, in passing, to observe that the only party that by the principles on which it is based has precluded itself from any right to the title of Reformers, is this very aggregation of democratic politicians. For inasmuch as Reformers necessarily implies a restora tion of what was good and a correct ion of what is bad in the subject of its operation, it is clearly possible-for one who strikes at the root of an existing state of things to adopt with any semblance of truth, a name that is the actual opposite of his real title. A destroyer cannot be said to reconstruct, nor an innovator to reform. It is a totally different thing to repair an ancient edifice and to pull it down in order to erect a different building in its place. Hence it is that a Reformer in the true sense of the word must necessarily be a Conservative, though it does not of course follow that all Conservatives should at all times be desirous of initiating reforms. Opinions of the American Press. The mercantile letters from New York complain strongly of the uncertainties caused by the delay in settling the question as to the consolidation of the national debt, and the New York Journal of Commerce gives the following summary of the posi tion in which the matter stands :—" Congress met. in December, four months ago, and as yet not one step of advance has been made in providing a solu tion of the great financial problem involving the dearest interests of the whole people. There are many theories about the cause of the delay, but the real difficulty may be stated in a few words. The Secretary of the Treasury asks for unlimited power to manage the consolidation of the debt entirely at his own discretion, and appears to be unwilling to accept anything short of this absolute control. This Congress seems to be unwilling to concede, the opposition being composed of various elements. Some oppose it in the interest of one set of specu lators, because they are afraid of a contraction of the currency ; others, in the supposed interest of the present bondholders, for fear that a new issue of securities may depress the price of those now held by them. The most, however, oppose this unlimited grant of power for two very substantial reasons : one is a general unwillingnes to leave in the hands of a single man, and he only an executive officer, the selection of a financial policy by which the whole nation is to be governed, while the Congress, upon whom such a responsibility properly rests, is in session, with no good excuse why it should not attend to it. The other reason is, that if it were absolutely certain that the Secretary would follow precisely such a course as Congress might select the concession of the power to him would decide nothing, and would leave the country still afloat upon a sea of doubt and uncertainty. It would be far better to fix upon something definite, and thus confine the action of the Secietary to such minis terial functions as are properly within his province. If this would be acceptable to the Treasury Depart ment, as we think it would be,.the whole difficulty might be easily adjusted at an early day, for the best thing to be done in consolidating the debt is not the point of dispute with any very considerable portion of the people." The New York World, commenting upon the present position of affairs, says that the Radicals are in most deadly earnest. There can be no doubt that the President is. If they pass unconstitutional laws over his veto, he will not feel bound to execute them. Jefferson long ago taught that the executive department must interpret the Constitution for it- self in matters pertaininc , to its own functions. Jackson repeatedly acted on that maxim. The President is sworn to support the Constitution. When any law clearly conflicts with it, be must, of necessity, elect between the two. The inferior law must yield to the superior. But when the President refuses to enforce laws which the Radicals have passed they will attempt, his removal, relying upon the same two-thirds which overruled the veto to convict on impeachment. It is in vain to say that the grounds for impeachment would be insuffi cient. The Senate is the sole judge of that. There is no court of appeal by which an unjust decision could be reversed. If the Radicals find they have the power, they will turn out President Johnson with just as little compunction as they have turned out Senator Stockton. The New York Post says :--" There is a good deal in a name, the fair Juliet to the contrary not withstanding. The Freedmen's Bureau is a case in point ; this useful department has become an object of hatred to a considerable number of unthinking people, and a cause of offence to pro-slavery and negro-hating politicians, because of its unlucky name. It is called the Freedmen's Bureau, but it might more properly have been called a bureau for the relief of distress and suffering resulting from the war. For its agents have relieved white and black alike, and in some States and districts the number of whites receiving rations and supplies from the so called Freedmen's Bureau was and is considerably larger than the number of blacks. For instance, in August, 1865, 8,417 whites, and only 2,540 negroes, received relief in the Department of Missouri and Arkansas, and 3,777 whites and 3,785 coloured people in that of Tennessee and Kentucky. In October, 1865, 2,878 whites received rations from the Freedmen's Bureau in Alabama, and only 2,151 blacks ; and in Missouri and Arkansas the Bureau relieved 1,593 whites and 1,517 negroes. In November, 2,257 whites and 1,914 blacks were relieved in Alabama, and 809 whites and 1,227 blacks in Missouri and Arkan sas. In December, 3,329 whites and 2,223 blacks • received rations from the bureau in Alabama, and 1,356 whites and 114 blacks in Missouri and Arkansas. In January, 3,329 whites and 1,223 blacks received rations in Alabama, and 2,998 whites and 547 blacks in Arkansas. These num bers, taken from officers' reports, show that we might with as much justice speak of the " white men's bureau" as the Freedmen's Bureau. It is true that in other States and departments the number of blacks is greater in proportion, but this does not alter the fact that the bureau deals with the poor and distressed of the South, regardless of colour. The New York World, commenting on the result of the Connecticut election, says :—The Connecticut election has resulted in great gains for the D emocratic party, yet not sufficient in amount to elect Mr. Eng lish. It is probable that his opponent, Hawley, slips into the Governor's chair, but by a majority which counts fewer hundreds than his predecessor had thousands. Buckingham was elected by a majority of over 11,000. Hawley will not have a majority of 700. Besides this gain of more than 10,000 on the popular vote, the Democrats have achieved very substantial gains also in the Legislature. Judging by our lateSt despatches, it appears that we gain 8 or 9 Senators, and 15 to 17 Representatives. These gains are pretty evenly distributed throughout the State, and show such a general and permanent re action against the reigning fanaticism, as to guaran tee the future triumphs of the unwearied and faith ful Democracy. In estimating the value of this result it must be borne in mind that this election took place in a New England State ; that New Eng land is the stronghold of Radicalism, the last part of the country where a reaction would naturally begin ; and that a considerable reaction in a New England State is a symptom of a wider and deeper change of public sentiment in States less given over to political fanaticism.

TIDIES.--The hoarseness under which Mr. Bright suffered last night, and which towards the close almost impeded his utterance, diminished the effect of a speech which would have been great coming from another man, but which could in no case have been remarkable as delivered by Mr. Bright. It is not in argument that he principally shines, and yesterday he condescended to reason with his op ponents. There was little trace of the passion and, we may add, none of the vituperation which add power to his provincial oratiens. At the outset, in deed, he was careful to apologise for an unintentional misrepresentation at Rochdale of Mr. Lowe's famous speech before the Recess, but no word was uttered in explanation of the graver charge which he had brought against the members of the House collec tively in his Sunday morning's letter to the people of Birmingham. One thing, however, he did ex plain. It is now confessed, for we have the authority of Lord Russell and Mr.' Bright for it, that the method of dealing with Reform in fragments is due to the advice of Mr. Bright, tendered in a chance conversation with Lord Russell six or seven years ago and repeated in his speech at Rochdale last January. Br. Bright did not, indeed, use in the House of Commons the word " leverage," which had such an awkward appearance in the Rochdale speech, but he entered at length in the subsidiary argu ments in favour of separating a Franchise Bill from a Bill for the Redistribution of Seacs. It is worth while to examine the arguments by which Mr. Bright defended the introduction of the Franchise Bill separately, and which he evidently thought sufficient to demolish the position of Lord Stanley. The gist of them lies in the notion that the power of giving a vote for a member of Parliament is a right, and that any concession of this right is but au instalment of justice long delayed. The Fran chise Bill and the Redistribution Bill rest, he says, on different principles, and while the first is an act of justice to an excluded class, the second is a matter of political expediency . . A measure which introduced 300,000 or 400,000 new voters ought therefore to be welcomed by itself, and any ques tions as to what may come after only betray the dis trust of territorial aristocrats. This mode of argu ment laid Mr. Bright open to the easy retort of Mr. Whiteside, who inquired why the member for Bir mingham had joined in rejecting the bill of Lord Derby's Ministry, which proposed to enfranchise more than 500,000 voters ; but we do not press the question, because we protest against the hypothesis which justifies it. There are, 110 doubt, fundamental principles of Government, but to suppose that any principle can be carried into operation without respect to the special conditions of each political society, and to suppose teat there is any principle requiring the suffrage to be conceded as an act of justice to every inhabitant or every householder, are notions to be entertained in what, with all respect to Mr. Bright, we must call the babyhood of political science. The Government of the United Kingdom is a very com plex machine, in which the real motive power is often concealed beneath the machinery ; but, as a matter of fact, the determination of the national policy rests with the will of the House of Commons, which itself represents the will of the people. By checks and counter-checks every opinion held by any important section of the community obtains expres sion in the House of Commons, though, as we have always frankly declared, not in proportion to the properweight which ought to be attached to each. To redress this anomaly is the true end of reform. The ,Government has brought in a bill of mere enfran chisement, which of itself could do nothing towards it. If passed, it would enlarge the numbers on the register, and so far would increase the stability of our institutions, were it not that the numbers are proposed to be added in large and small boroughs alike, and would thus exaggerate the anomalies of the distribu tion of power, deteriorate those constituencies which are already bad, and corrupt some which have hitherto resisted temptation. But a bill which has thus little or nothing to recommend it in itself is only a part of a great scheme ; and Lord Stanley, looking upon politics as a science, very properly objects that it is impossible for the House of Com mons to sanction such a part standing alone. Voters cannot but be considered apart from con stituencies. As Mr. Bright himself said—and Mr. GOschen, strangely enough, repeated the statement later in the evening, as if it were an argument for, instead of against, the Government plans—it does not much matter what the votersmay be ; the power of any class of them depends upon the distribution of seats. This is sufficient to justify a demand for the entire scheme, for if the branches of reform are separated, the necessary consequence is that the de cision of the second branch, whatever it may be, will turn on an appeal to condemned or to provi sional constituencies. It is beside the mark to point out, as Mr. Bright did last night, that enfranchise ment was the main portion of Lord Derby's Reform Bill ; however small the redistribution proposed by it, that bill was a complete bill, and those who had to discuss its enfranchising clauses were invited at the same time to determine the distribution of seats. Mr. Walpole disapproved Lord Derby's Reform Bill for reasons fairly s t ate ti , to which Mr. Bright ap consider them. IIEtReA Mr.L v._ pealed last night ; Mr. Walpole, however, at a later bill, and we, in our turn, may ap pealc, period of the evening ex p la ined the reasons why he hb e violent out cry b y w hi c h it i s on every d ev u ery ty disapproves ß this riTgh in lependent member of passive obedience to the Chancellor of the E xchequer, appears (to as es o f u t g h l e i t Liberal e inculcate ral party as sume the most charitable hypothesis open to us) to be founded u pon a singular misapprehension of the real significance of existing terms of political no menclature. And, indeed, a spectacle hardly to be rivalled in ludicrous absurdity, were it not at the same time a portent of sinister import, is to be ob served in the circumstance, that those who arrogate to themselves the exclusive claim to be considered pure Liberals are busily engaged in daily demon strating to a wondering world their absolute igno rance of the fundamental principles which con stitute Liberalism. It is one fault in the some what too philosophical definitions, which, about the period of the Reform Bill, superseded the old fashioned titles of Whig and Tory, that both Liberal and Conservative are, in point of fact, appellations that embrace many besides those who can be reckoned upon as habitual supporters of their respective party chieftains. A Liberal is, of course, in the first and obvious meaning of the word, one who loves liberty ; a Conservative, one who appreciates so fully the value of our established institutions that he is averse to measures of organic change. But it is at once evident that so far from being contradictory, these two descriptions can be 7•A It; !I NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " JOHN HALIFAX."
