THE HARVEST, &C.—lll most parts of the country
the harvest has partially commenced, and will be general next
week. The weather for the last eight or ten days, with the
exception of a few light showers, has been beautifully bright,
and every way calculated to bring the crops rapidly to maturity.
The country at present wears the most delightful aspect, both
as regards scenery, and the promise of autumnal abundance.
The crops appear to be ripening so equally that extra hands
will be required to cut them down in proper time, and we un-
derstand that in East Lothian, where harvest has very gene-
rally commenced, the number of Highland and Irish shearers
that have arrived are not nearly equal to the demand at pre-
sent for their services.—Scotsman.

ELECTION OF A CURATE.-A severe contest

took place at Willenhall, Staffordshire, on Tuesday, in the
election of a perpetual curate for that place. There were
three candidates—the Rev. Messrs. White, Howells, and
Fisher, and the former was declared the successful candidate
by a small majority. The place of election was the vestry of
the church, and the church-yard and neighbouring streets
were thronged with the populace, who saluted the voters as
they came up, either with cheers or hisses and groans, accord-
ing as they were expected to vote.
EAST GLOUCESTER. ELECTION.—The nomina-

tion of the candidates for the representation of this division of
the county, in the room of the late Member, Sir Berkeley
William Guise, Bart., took place on Thursday morning. The
friends of each party mustered pretty strong, and the Shire-
hall was excessively crowded very soon after the doors were
opened. The writ having been read, and the usual prelimi.
naries being gone through, the Hon. George Rice Trevor
proposed Christopher William Codrington, Esq., which was
seconded by Walter Lawrence Lawrence, Esq., f Sandywell
Park. Sir John Wright Guise, Bart. (brother of the late
Member), then put in nomination Charles Hanbury Tracy
Leigh, Esq., and was seconded by Robert Canning, Esq., cf
Hartpury. The two candidates next addressed the freehol-
ders ; after which Thomas Gray, Esq., of Cheltenham, came
forward, but could not obtain a hearing. A show of hands
was then called for, which the High Sheriff declared to be in
favour of Mr. Leigh ; and a poll being demanded on behalf of
Mr. Codrington, the Sheriff appointed the same to commence
on Monday next. The gentlemen who proposed and seconded
Mr. Leigh were so frequently interrupted by the discordant
noises of the Blue party, that it was with very great difficulty
they could be heard.

A few days ago the inhabitants of a house in the
Rue Bouchier, in Paris, annoyed by a mephitic odour which
infected the staircase, at first attributed it to some stoppage of
the pipes that carried off the culinary water. These were ex-
amined and found to be perfectly clear, and on further inves-
tigation it was ascertained that the smell proceeded from the
apartment of an elderly single woman, who resided on the
second floor, and who had not been seen for several days. As
the door was fastened the Commissary of Police was sent for,
and it was forced open, when the poor woman, who lived alone,
was discovered dead upon her bed, with her left foot upon the
floor, as if she had attempted to rise. The medical men called
in declared, that from the state of the body, she must have been
dead a fortnight, and were of opinion that she had been struck
with apoplexy. A parrot and a canary bird which she kept
were found starved to death.

EXTRAORDINARY OPERATIGN.—On the Ist of
June last, an extraordinary operation was performed by Mr.
H. Barrow, veterinary surgeon, Thorne, upon a beast belong-
ing to Mr. Geo. Ranshaw, of that place. The beast, after
lingering for several weeks, under different professors of the
veterinary art, until nature was nearly exhausted, Mr. Barrow
undertook the case. He made an incision into the stomach,
and took therefrom the sole and heel of an old shoe. To the
great satisfaction of the owner, and astonishment of several
eye-witnesses, the beast is completely recovered.—Doncaster
Gazette.

MURDER BY TRADES' UNIONISTS.--Joseph Mosley, aged
34, and William Garside, 25, were indicted for the murder of
Mr. Thomas Ashton, at Werneth, on the 3d of January, 1831.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. In the year
1831, great excitement prevailed among the manufacturers in
the neighbourhood of Wernerth, Ashton, and Stayley, in con-
sequence of a dispute between the masters and their work-
men, and there were no less than 52 mills standing still. Mr.
Samuel Ashton, one of the master manufacturers, had two mills,
one the Apthorne Mill, and the other called the Woodley
Mill. The superintendence of the Apthorne Mill was com-
mitted to Mr. J. Ashton, and that of the other mill to Mr. T.
Ashton, the sons of Mr. Samuel Ashton. On the 3d of Jan.,
1831, Mr. T. Ashton took the superintendence of the Ap-,
thorne Mill for his brother James. On the evening of that
day Mr. Thomas Ashton was seen approaching towards the
Apthorne Mill through the Apthorne-lane with his great coat
on, and at the same time three men were seen going in the
same direction. Immediately afterwards the report of a
pistol-shot was heard. No notice was taken of it, as nothing
was suspected ; but soon afterwards Mr. Thomas Ashton was
found lying on his back on the road, and quite dead, from
the effect of a pistol-ball which passed through his body.
There was no doubt that the shot was fired by one of the
three men ; and to establish that fact it would be necessary
for him, for the ends of justice, to call William Mosley,
one of those three men, of whom the 'prisoners are the other
two. This William Mosley would distinctly state that Gar-
side was the man who fired the shot, and that he and the two
Mosleys had agreed with one Samuel Scholefield, one of the
Unionists, to perpetrate the deed, for which they were to re-
ceive 101. supplied from the funds of the Union. The learn-
ed Attorney-General also said that there was a confession made
by the prisoner Garside in Derby gaol; but as there might be
some question raised about the admissibility of it in evidence,
he should abstain from further adverting to it until it should be
fairly before the Court.
William Mosley, the accomplice—l am the brother of
Joseph Mosley, one of the prisoners at the bar. I have lived
at Romiley, about a mile and a half from Mr. Ashton's, and
four miles from Marple. I have been a boatman. I knew the
prisoner Garside at Marple. I remember meeting Garside and
Joseph Mosley at the Stag's Head, at Marple-bridge, on the
Wednesday before Mr. Ashton was shot. We had something
to drink. Both of them asked me, Garside first, if I had anything
to do. I said I was out of employ, and was going over to Mac-
clesfield to look for work. Garside said I had better stop a few
days, and I should have a better job than I could get at Maccles-
field. We agreed to meet on Sunday, at Marple-bridge. I went
there between 12 and 1 o'clock. Garside and Mosley were
there; we remained on the bridge there about half an hour.
They told me they were going to meet two men on Comp-
stall Brow, and that I must go with them. While we were
standing on the bridge we saw Samuel Middleton and
Jones. We went to Compstall Brow, that is not far from
Werneth Low, a high hill. We met two men, one was called
either Scholefield or Stanfield. I knew them by sight before.
Scholefield was a joiner, Joseph Mosley told me to stand a
little on one side, while he and Garside talked together with the
other two. I did not hear all that was said ; but I heard
something about "the Unions." They talked together about
half an hour. After the other men went away, Garside and

far as his own house. I did not find the prisoners at Wright's
Tower, and went on to the Gravel Pits, where I found
them. They lard each a loaded pistol—one large, like a horse-
pistol, and the other a small one. Garside had the large pis-
tol. The small pistol had a bright barrel. I went over the

which, it was one of them. They appointed for me to meet
them the next day at the Bull's Head at Marple, and we parted.
I slept that night in a boat of J. Bennett's, of Hatherlow. I
saw them about dinner time on the sth of January. It was
agreed that I was to go to the seventh lock on the canal if I
did not find them at the Bull's Head. That was to receive
my share of the money. We did meet at the Bull's Head,
and the man I have before named, James Scholefield, or Stan-
field, was there. He said he had settled with the other two,
and be would settle with me. He then pulled out three sove-
reigns. I would take only two, saying I would be content
with that. They then signed a book and I put my mark to it.
I cannot read. We then all went down on our knees, and,
holding a knife one over the other, said one after another,"We
wished God might strike us dead if we ever told." The man
who paid the money did it first, and then Garside.
A great number of other witnesses were examined, who
gave a variety of circumstantial evidence tending to fix the
imputed crime upon the prisoners.
The Jury, after having ' retired from the box for a few
minutes, found that Garside was the actual murderer ; and
returned a general verdict of Guilty against both the pri-
soners, who instantly fainted in the dock. Several females
in the Court also sobbod aloud.
Mr. Baron PARKE, evidently much affected, and amid the
most deathlike silence, proceeded to pass sentence in the fol-
lowing terms Prisoners at the bar—the providence of God
has so ordered the course of human affairs that there are
very few crimes of the atrocious and bloodthirsty nature of
that of which you have been found guilty that remain
unpunished, even in this life. You have been very pro-
perly convicted of the dreadful crime of murder ; and
there cannot be a single doubt on the mind of any one of this
large auditory that you are the men who perpetrated the deed
of which you have been found guilty. Your conduct in the
commission of it was most dastardly. Under the shade of night
you laid wait for, and cut off, a young man in the very prime
of life ; one who was unknown to you, and against whom you
bore no ill-will. You gave him not a moment's time for re-
flection or opportunity to prepare for eternity ; and what
stamps your conduct with greater infamy is, that you did it
from the basest of motives, for money. For either of you,
therefore, there cannot be a moment's hope of mercy in this
world. I should be unworthy of the situation which I fill—l
should be abandoning my duty—if I were to hold out to you
the least hope of mercy. You have only forty-eight hours to
live ; and all I can do is to entreat you, in humble dependence
on God, through the merits of Christ, at a throne of grace, to
seek for mercy at his hands. No one dares to hold out hopes
to you here—but no one dares to say that the gates of mercy
are shut against you even at this late hour." The Learned
Judge then passed sentence in the usual terms.

THE FIRE AT NORTH TAWTON.—In our paper
of last week we stated that three persons, father, wife, and
son, and two men named Ford, had been under the examina-
tion of the magistrates, on suspicion of having occasioned this
terrible fire. On Saturday last the three Taylors were com-
mitted to our county gaol. It appears that the fire originated
in the house of John Taylor, the son. Two other persons, on
whom considerable suspicion rested, have absconded.— Wes-
tern Luminary.

the defendant's identity.
Elizabeth Ann Dawes deposed that she lived in Stanhope-
terrace, Gloucester-gate, Regent's-park, in the house of Mr.
Porter. Witness had lived with Mrs. Dorothea Wells, and
was present at the marriage of that lady with the defendant, on
or about the 24th of December last, at the parish church of
Charlton Kings, near Cheltenham, in the county of Gloucester,
Witness signed the book as a witness to the ceremony.
The LORD MAYOR asked whether the defendant was desirous
of saying anything ?
Mr. Flower advised his client to be silent, in the present
stage of the proceedings, and Mr. Haywood followed his advice.

The LORD MAYOR said that he was bound to commit the
defendant for trial to Newgate.
Mr. Flower requested to know whether his Lordship would
take bail for the appearance of Mr. Haywood at the Old Bai-
ley to take his trial.

The LORD MAYOR declared that he could not think of ac-
cepting bail in such a case.
Mr. Flower then said that his client was anxious to know
whether he might be allowed to remain in the Giltspur-street
Compter till the day of trial ?
The LORD MAToa---Certainly not. Ido not see anything
in the case to entitle the prisoner to any indulgence of the kind.
The lady who was so unfortunate as to marry the defendant
at a time when the ceremony could have been of no avail, is,
it was mentioned, in a state of extreme wretchedness.

The depositions having been read over and signed, the de•
rendant was fully committed for trial.

GUILDHALL.

William West, a cab-driver, Edward Jones, his acquaint-
ance, and a young woman named Jane Lockyer, were brought
up on suspicion of having stolen a silver watch from a gentle-
man unknown, who hired the cab at Vauxhall-gardens at an
early hour on Thursday morning.
The prisoners falling out in Holborn, about dividing the
spoil, were taken to the watch-house, where it came out that
the owner of the watch, being very drunk, was lifted out of
the cab in Piccadilly, and left stuck up against a wall._
