It was fully anticipated that the unionist Schofield, who was apprehended in consequence of the disclosures made by William Mosley, the accomplice of the murderers of Mr. Ashton, in his evidence at Chester Assizes, would have un dergone an examination before the Magistrates at the Court House, this day, but as the prosecuting parties were not ready with their evidence against him, the hearing of the case was postponed until Saturday next. The accused, however, was brought up from the New Bailey to the Court House, before Sir Salusbury Humphreys, K.C.H in order to be remanded. In appearance, the prisoner, who was handcuffed to an officer, is about 35 years of age, of sallow complexion, and has very much the look of a hand- consider- nue(' in s, i n the .ally bad. Div°.

LEWIS'S CATECHISMS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. ELEMENTARY BOOKS like the following must of necesssity be, in a great measure, mere compilations, and the principal portion of originality to which the Editor can lay claim, consists in his plan, and in the introduction, of Etymological and Pronouncing Vocabularies of the technical terms. The great advantages resulting from the introduction of the Technical Vocabularies, are too obvious to require any observation. The Editor, however, may be allowed to remark, that technical terms being for the most part derived from the learned languages, the reason of their application is completely unseen by the mere English student • and the consequence is that he finds them ex ceedingly difficult to remember. The Greek characters here fore, represented by English letters. In these Catechisms the questions do not precede the answers, as the series by Dr. Irving, & c ., but are printed at the end of each part. To avoid, however, any difficulty, each question is numbered so as to answer to its corresponding, proposition, which is also num bered. By this plan th e t u t or ma y e ither teach by interrogation or not.; and persons, who may use the work for their own instruc tion, or for the purpose of reference, will not be confused and in terrupted by a number of superfluous questions. As school books they will be found to •possess many advantages over the common catechisms ; not the least of which is their capa bility of being used as reading books for classes ; in which case, if the tutor employ the questions in interrogating his pupils, they will be found peculiarly useful in exercising the memory, as well as in enforcing attention to the subject. It is a remarkable fact that the some of the best books in our language have remained unneticed for years, until some fortui tous circumstance has brought them before the public, when they have at last met with that patronage they had so long deserveds No class of books, perhaps, is so liable to sink into unmerited oblivion as books on education, if not properly introduced to the public on their first appearance. That the intrinsic value of the Catechisms, by Mr. W. G. Lewis, offered to the public a few years ago, would long since have insured their adoption, for the junior classes, in most of our respectable Schools, there can be no doubt, had it not been for the unfortunate embarrassment of their first publisher soon after their appearance; since which they have remained upon the shelves of others, unno ticed, because their merits were unknown. The present publisher, however, who has now their entire ma nagement, promises that nothing shall be wanting on his part to bring them properly before the public ; and he feels assured that he is not too sanguine in expecting they will be very extensively pa tronized.

GERMAN PAPERS. Auoseuao, AUG. 9.—The Political Gazette of Munich has the following article respecting Greece Letters deserving of credit affirm that the trials of the other persons imprisoned on an accusation of treasonable intrigue, are concluded and decided. The accused were acquitted and set at liberty. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, JULY 29.—We live here in a state of suspense which has a very injurious effect in every respect. Public attention, which was drawn to the late negociations between the English and French Ambassadors and the Porte, is turned with more attention than ever to Constantinople, though we hear nothing positive respecting the course of the negociations. The strangest reports are in circulation respect ing concessions which the Porte is said to have made to the two ambassadors. This uncertainty causes a degree of anxiety in the commercial world, as it makes it difficult to know how to regulate its plans. The retirement of the English men of war from the Asiatic coast almost leads us to conjecture that the Porte has shown some compliance with the French and English demands ; yet, on the other side, it is too closely bound to Russia to allow us to believe that any important concession can have been made without the con sent of that power. It is certain, however, that something is passing which it is difficult to explain. It is said that a diplo matic agent from Paris is expected at Constantinople, who is to bring to Admiral Roussin important information respecting Mehemet Ali's connection in the empire, as well as with fo reign countries, and that the Porte being already informed of the coming of this agent, and of the nature of his mission, has abated something of its aversion to France, and that it is in consequence of this that the sending of a Turkish ambassador to Paris has been resolved on.—Allyeineine Zeitung, Aug. 10.

THE MISER PUNISHED.—Under the reign of the first caliphs, there was a merchant in Bagdad, equally rich and avariciou s . O ne d ay h e h a d b arga i ne d w i t h a porter to carr y home for him a large basket of porcelain vases for ten paras. As they went along, he said to the old man, " My friend, you are young and I am old—you can still earn plenty—strike off, I entreat you, a para from your hire."—" Willingly," replied the porter. This request was repeated again aid again, until, when they reached the house, the porter had only a single para to receive. As they went up the stairs, the merchant said, iIC If 1 , you will resign the last para, I will give you three pieces of advice."—" Be it so," said the porter. " Well, then," said the merchant, " if any one tells you it is better to be fasting r th ou an nd fastin t g, e do not believe him ; if any one tells you it is i and h better t o b e poor t h an r i c h , d o not b e li eve him : if any one tells you it is better to walk than to ride, do not believe him." —" My good sir," replied the astonished porter, " I knew these things before, but, if you will listen to me, I will give you advice su c h as y ou never h e a r d." The merchant turvied , , porterlf rany o t n h e ro t w el i l n s g y t o h u e tbhaastkeotnedom of dour v st a ai se r s case said t o hi m , re main unbroken, do not believe him."

In the last one tried it was disco vered there was no legal tribunal, Mr. ROTCH, M.P., the Chairman being the only Magistrate, on the Bench, and two Justices being required to form a Court. After a delay of two hours Mr. HALSWELL, a county Magistrate, entered the Court by chance, and a verdict of Not Guilty was returned. The Chairman then said that Mr. Halswell was compelled to attend his duties as one of the prison committee, and therefore the remaining cases must stand over to the next session. After a discussion between counsel, and a protest from several prosecutors, the Court adjourned. The West Indies are 177,140 square miles ; they contain 74,240 white, and 884,600 coloured inhabitants; their revenues amount to 541,500 L, and their expenditure to 551,6001. ; their imports are worth 5,806,4001., their exports 9,932,500/. ; the property yearly created is 21,972,5491., and the whole existing property, moveable and immoveable, is esti mated at 126,690,0001. Mr. Holcroft was an excellent reader of his plays, and always believed he would have succeeded as an actor. Asking Lewis if he remembered him on the stage, and what was his success,—" I remember him," said Lewis, " only when acting with him as the original representative of Figaro, in his own play of the 6 Follies of a Day;' on which occasion, at the fall of the curtain, old Harris came up with great good humour, and, shaking him by the hand, said, " I give you joy; the play has got over your acting, and nothing can give a stronger proof of its intrinsic merits." MECIIANICAL TRlFLlNG.—Boverick, who made chains to " yoke a flea," must have possessed exquisite pa tience. Besides a chain of 200 links, with its padlock and key, all weighing together less than the third part of a grain, this indefatigable minute artificer was the maker of a landau, which opened and shut by springs ; which landau, with six horses harnessed to it, a coachman sitting on the box, with a dog between his legs, four inside and two outside passengers besides a postillion riding one of the horses, was drawn with all the ease and safety imaginable by a well trained flea. The inventor and executor of this puerile machine bestowed on it, probably, as much time as would have sufficed to produce Watt's steam engine.-117echanic's Magazine. KEEPING A PLEDGE.—Mr. Clark Irish, of La fayette, in this state, shot himself a few days since. He had been intemperate for some years past, and was recently in duced to join a temperance society. Within a short time, however, he returned to his old habits, and, on being told that he had broken the pledge given on joining the temperance society, he replied that he should never do so again. Imme diately after this he took his gun, went into his garden, and blew out his brains—American Paper. HARVEST.—Harvest-labour commenced last week, and is now pretty general in all our earlier and more fertile districts. The stock everywhere falls well to the sickle, and although the weather is rather unsettled, a great deal of work is done " between hands." Stooks are rife enough in the vallies, and before the lapse of many days will be seen dotting the bleakest hill-sides. With the single exception of early-sown barley, all the grain crops are beautifully pickled, awned, and eared ; and we hesitate not to say that wheat, quality and all things considered, is a full average, and oats, as near as may be, a crop and a fourth. Rain necessarily leads to retardation, but should the elements prove propitious, as the glass seems to indicate, great will be the joy a month hence—inviting the appearance of every barn-yard, and most exhilarating the sound of harvest-home. The pasture, turnip, and potato fields profit by all the rain that falls ; and viewing the truly bounteoue corn-fields which woot he husbandman on every hand, the stets of the revenue and the country altogether, it would be difficult to name a season during which were set more prominently be fore the eyes, hearts, and gratitude of tliF British people the inestimable blessings of peace and plenty.—Dunifries Courier. DREADFUL FIRE IN ASIILIN'S-PLACE, DRURY LANE.—Last evening, about seven o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Howard, an extensive cow keeper in Ashlin's-place, a narrow thoroughfare running from Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, chiefly inhabited by the poorer Irish. The flames made such a rapid progress that it was with the greatest difficulty that the cows could be removed. On the arrival of the engines the cowhouse presented one immense sheet of flame; but, by the great exertions of the firemen, it was got under. There is great reason to fear that this fire has not been unattended with the loss of human life, as it was reported that two children have perished in the flames. The shrieks of the persons who had escaped from the house were truly horrible ; from the combustible nature of the building, and the quantity of straw, &c., on the premises, the flames spread with incredible swiftness, scarcely leaving them time to reach the street, much less to save any article of fur niture. A person is in custody on suspicion of having set fire to the house, but whether from design or accident remains to be ascertained. POISONOUS SNAKES.—The death, or deaf adder, is an ugly creature, and is considered highly dangerous. A case of death caused by the bite of one was communicated to me by a very respectable person, who had the account from the comrade of the deceased; and, if it be correct, of which there is sufficient reason to believe there is little doubt, the death of the unfortunate man must have been peculiarly dreadful, as blood gushed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Immediate decomposition commenced, and in a very short space of time, the body was in such a state, that it was with difficulty removed to where the grave had been dug. Aly informant, who had been twenty-two years in the colony, emphatically added, that when a person is bitten by a death adder, he has scarcely time to say, " Lord have mercy upon me 1" before he becomes a lifeless corpse. It is affirmed that, in Africa, there are several, the bite of which will cause a most horrible death. The person bitten feels drowsy, and the form melts at once into a mass of putrefaction. The burning snake of India can cause instant death, the blood flowing from the eyes, nos e, mouth, and ears, and exuding from the pores. An American serpent, called de la crux, is said to kill in the same manner; finally, the bite of the naja is represented to be so fatal, that a person bitten by one will die in the course of half an hour, his flesh falling off his bones in a semi.rdissolved state.—Excursions in New South Wales. DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On the arrival of the Telegraph coach from London to Exeter at Deptford Inn, Wilts, on Wednesday last, the passengers were shown to the usual room for taking refreshments, when one of them who stood at the head of the table seized a carving knife, and in stantly cut his throat in so dreadful a manner as to nearly sever the head from the body. He had stopped the coach and got up at Staines—expressed a wish to go to Honiton—gave the guard a sovereign—said he was very short of cash, and requested an inside place ; he spoke little during the journey, and nothing transpired to induce the other passengers to think he was con templating suicide. He was a fine black whiskered man, about thirty years of age, and five feet eight or nine inches high ; had on a dark green coat with velvet collar, black waistcoat, grey trowsers, and a shirt which appeared quite clean, marked with an Hebrew character (Mem. ) and No. 2, his boots having been lately vamped, his hat light and nearly new, no maker's name to it. He had a watch with a tortoise shell case, with only one hand to it, to which are attached, by a black ribbon, three seals, one of which is very small, having the impression of a swan. On the little finger of his right hand he wore a gold ring, with a white stone, bearing the name of Eliza : in his pocket was found a red silk purse, containing six shillings and sixpence ; he had no luggage, nor was there found upon his person either letters or papers to indicate where his friends may be found. Mr. Whitmarsh, one of the Coroners of the county, held an inquest on the bcdy on Friday. Verdict accordingly. loom weaver. He seemed rather dejected. The prisoner was then re-conveyed to the New Bailey. By Saturday, there is every reason to suppose, that seve ral others connected with the Mule Spinners' Union Com mittee of Ashton and Stayley-bridge at the period of the murder, will be also in custody ; but it is not the intention of the authorities to apprehend one of them until they are enabled to lay hands upon the whole, as by so doing it would be the signal for some of the guilty parties to escape. The inquiries that are progressing are conducted with the utmost privacy, but it is thought they will be completed before Saturday. The convict Garside still persists that Schofield was not the man who paid them the money to butcher Mr. Ashton, and he has made a communication of the names of two individuals, whom he says were the parties that paid them the money, and, consequently, many think that Schofield is entirely innocent, and that 'William Mosley has been swearing falsely:. On the other hand, Joseph Mosley, the murderer, denies all knowledge of the men whom Garside accuses, and also says that Schofield had nothing to do with the murder ; therefore, with such complicated and contradictory statements, we should imagine that there will be great difficulty in arriving at the truth. The members of the Trades' Union—that is, the Consolidated Trades' Union of the kingdom—feel highly indignant at the Mule Spinners' Union being iden tified with theirs ; they say that they are quite separate bo dies. A gentleman, who has had some conversation with several of the consolidated unionists, respecting the recent horrible disclosures, from what he has gleaned says : " When Schofield was taken into. custody by Barrett, the deputy-constable of Stockport, and William Darling, the superintendent of the fore-en g ine department, of that town, lie exclaim e d, 4 I k now what you are come about.' Barrett asked him what it was, and he said, Why, it's about Ashton's murder.' Barrett acknowledged the fact, and the prisoner, who was in bed at the time, changed countenance, and seemed to shrink aghast from those who were about to conduct him to prison, and has since doggedly refused to answer any questions. He will now scarcely speak to his fellow-prisoners, so cautiously reserved has he become. It has generally been under stood that the Consolidated Trades' Union was the body to which allusion has been made in connection with this horrid affair ; but it is only fair to state that such is not the fact. The parties suspected of the crime of hiring assassins on the occasion in question were members of the Mule Spinners' Union, at Ashton, which body was entirely distinct from the Union. The members of the Spinners' Union co-operated with other unions of the same trade all over the kingdom, and were qualified for admission into the Consolidated Union ; but with them, as a body, the union had nothing at all .to do ; and no set of men can evince more apparent anxiety for the detection of all who have been concerned in this atrocity than the members of the Union.' It is conjectured, however, that the insti gators are happily not so numerous as many imagined. The greater number of the contributors to the funds of the Mule Spinners' Union were ignorant, illiterate men, and those of them who were better informed, and had the cun ning to get the possession and management of those funds, combined to mystify the accounts in such a way as to defy the nicest scrutiny in their examination ; and thus they were enabled to devote secret service money for whatever purposes they chose." LATEST PARTICULARS-FRIDAY. ANOTHER MURDER SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN COMMITTED BY TILE MURDERERS OF MR. ASHTON. From accounts received from Chester Castle, it appears that Garside feels disposed to make a second and last con fession of the circumstances attending the barbarous murder of Mr. Thomas Ashton, of which he was the principal perpetrator. He has mentioned the names of two men whom he states positively were the parties that employed him and his accomplices to commit the deed. One of them resides at Marple, and the other at Hyde, and they will probably turn out to be the men he alluded to on Saturday last, when remarking to the gentleman who visited him, that there were two nearer home who knew most about the murder. The one living at Marple whom he accuses is a spinner, who for a long time had been out of employment, excepting when making himself conspicuous by carrying the union flag in their different processions. The other is a clothes dealer, and we understand, in consequence of the disclosures, that measures have been taken for their imme diate apprehension. The remorse of conscience which Garside appears now to feel is also likely to lead to the elu cidation of other crimes committed by himself and his com panions in guilt, and he has gone so far as to charge his fellow murderer (Joseph Mosley), with the com mittal of another murder, hitherto veiled in mystery, but which, until this time, was not considered to have been a murder. The facts of this newly-discovered atrocity, according to Garside's statement, appear to be that a man named Nadin was murdered about three years ago by the convict Mosley, near Mellor, in Derbyshire, who waylaid his victim, and having dispatched him, threw the body into the canal. He afterwards cohabited with Nadin's widow, and continued to do so until the period of his apprehension for the crime for which he is shortly to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. The circumstance of Nadin having been found dead in the canal is fresh in the recollection of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body at the time, and it appearing to the jury from the evidence then adduced before them that it was probable that the deceased might have fallen by ac cident into the canal, they returned a verdict of " Found drowned." A considerable time subsequent to the inquest, however, a legal gentleman received an anonymous letter, stating that Nadin had been murdered in the way de scribed, by three men, whom the writer named; in conse quence of which the men were apprehended and examined before the Magistrates, but there was no evidence to crimi nate them. The writer of the letter was advertised for and desired to come forward, but as he never made his appear ance the men were discharged. The affair caused consi derable excitement, , and the gentleman who Deceived the letter was indefatigable in endeavouring to trace the writing, but without success. However, since the apprehension of Garside and Mosley, the writing has been found to resemble that of an acquaint ance of Joseph Mosley's, who is also supposed to be impli cated in the murder of Mr. Ashton. If, therefore, it turns out to be so, the fact is strongly corroborative of the state ment of Garside, and leads to the conclusion that Mosley and his friend had, by sending the anonymous letter, at tempted to throw suspicion upon others to avoid being sus pected themselves. Nadin, it seems, was a cutting spinner, employed at Clayton's mills, and an acquaintance of Mos ley's. It is, we understand, a fact that Mosley did cohabit with Nadin's widow, subsequent to his apprehension. We are in possession of other statements which have been made by Garside, implicating persons who have hi therto been unsuspected ; but, as it might be thwarting justice at present to give them publicity, it is better to omit them. Of course the disclosures made are causing great sensation in the manufacturing districts, and yesterday (Thursday) a private meeting of the master cotton manu facturers was held at Hyde, for the purpose of adopting means further to investigate all the circumstances contained in the convicts' catalogue of crime, and to take the best mea sures for apprehending the suspected parties now at large. The dispute between the Sheriffs is not yet amicably ar ranged. The term of respite expires on Monday next, and the theme of general conversation is how they intend to act on the occasion. It is considered that the recent Act of Parliament, which does away with the Palatinate, causes the duty to devolve on the High Sheriff of the county. The high Sheriff is determined to think otherwise, and there the matter rests. THE WEATH ER—THE CRO P S.--Every account we receive from this and the neighbouring counties assures us that the crops present the most flattering prospects of an abundant and early harvest. Wheat cutting has commenced very generally in the vicinity of this city ; a few days ago we observed some of a very fine description, on the way to Tra more, in stook. The weather has been for some time. with the exception of Thursday, most favourable ; on that day a slight rain continued the whole day, till about ten o'clock r.m., when it came down in very heavy showers, which continued till about twelve. It has since cleared up, and we are happy to learn that the crops have sustained no injury in consequence. Potatoes are very good, and brought to market in great abun dance, as are also vegetables of every description. Some new oats of prime quality, which appeared at market this week, brought from 9s. to 11 s. per barrel ; and new barley from I Is. to 12s.— Waterford Chronicle.
