Will be Published on 25th March, Part I of a Series of Volumes, in tended to appear Quarterly, under the title of the BOOK OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR OLD AND YOUNG. The . ‘Book of Entertainment " is Intended to occupy something of a middle place between the magazone and the ordinary book. Like the magazine, its contents will be varied in character, and its pe riodical appearance at regular intervals, will, it is expected, c ,ntri bate to preserve that freshness of novelty which forms so considera ble a feature of attraction in the magazine literature of the day. On the other hand, each Part will be an entire book in itself, complete in every respect; and the interval which will elapse between each pub lication will afford time for a more elaborate preparation and careful selection of papers, than can usually be afforded in a magazine. No expense consistent with the possibility of a remunerating sale, has been or will be spared, to secure in its servic , the highest available literary talent. Each Part of the " Book of Entertainment" consists of Six Sheets of post Svo, printed in a new and beautiful type, and accompanied by two Illustrations by eminent artists, on tinted paper. l'rice Is.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 19. CROWN count A person of very respectable appearance, who, it ay peered, has since his apprehension refused to give his name or any information respecting himself, and who was described in the indictment as " a man whose name is unknown," was arraigned on a charge of fel setting tire to a stack of wheat, the property of Tho mas Macey. oniously Mr. Rose conducted the prosecution; the prisoner him self cross-examined the witnesses, and evinced a great deal of tact during the inquiry. Mr. Macey deposed that he was a farmer at Strood. and on the 21st of February he had a stack of wheat standing in a field near the high road. He saw the stack safe at half-past five o'clock, and between seven and eight o'clock he heard an alarm, and found that it was in flames, and the whole stack was eventually consumed. The stack had contained between forty and fifty quarters of wheat. George Wilson, a tailor, residing in Rochester, said he was on his way home when he observed the stack on fire, and when he got up to it he saw the prisoner stand ing about ten or twelve feet from the fire. Witness ,poke to him and remarked that it was a very bad job. eid the prisoner paused a little and then said, ' Yes, to burn corn when so many poor families are starving fur the want of it." Wm. M`George, a Rochester policeman, said he was on duty in the High-street about a quarter to ten o'clock on the night of the fire, when the prisoner came up to him, and asked him where the station-house was? H e asked him what he wanted, and whether it was about u robbery, and he said it was. They then went to the station-house together, and when there the prisoner addressed the night-inspector, and iaid, "I suppose you have heard of the fire this evening—l am the person who did it." Witness then sent for the superintendent, and upon his arrival the prisoner repeated the statement that he had set fire to the stack, and said that he did it with one lucifer-match, and that he had his reasons for doing it, which he would never tell tow: one. While he was talking he took a quantity of snuff train a paper, and continued to do so until he had emptied the paper, and he then threw it into the fire-place. He was then asked to give his name, and he answered that he hoped they would not think him rude, but he must decline giving it. Mr. John Tuff, the superintendent of the Rochester police, deposed that in consequence of a communication he received from the last witness, he went to the sta tion-house, and found the prisoner in custody, and im mediately he saw him he said that he had come to give himself up, for setting the stack on fire. He asked him his name, but he refused to give it, and upon wit ness reminding him that it was a very serious charge, and asking him if he was aware of the conse quences, he replied, that he was perfectly aware what he was doing. After this caution the prisoner made a statement, which witness took down in writing. He said that he was at the Coach and Horses public-house, near Rochester, and had same refreshment, on the evening of the fire. He left the house about seven o'clock, and as he was passing the field where the stack was, he went in and set the stack on fire with one lucifer match from a box he had in his pocket. He then threw away the box and the remainder of the matches under a hedge, about a hundred yae ds from the stack. He then said he stayed for some time to see the fire, and afterwards went to Rochester to give himself up. The prisoner then told him that if he made a search he would find the lucifer box in the place he described. Witness again asked him to give his name, but he refused, and upon his examining his clothes to see if there was any name marked on them the prisoner smiled, and said he had taken care of that, and pointed to holes at the top of his stockings where he had cut the name out. Upon a further examination of the prisoner's person, he discovered a faint trace of the letters M. C. A., a dart, and an anchor on one of his arms, and the prisoner said this was done when he was eleven years old. The prisoner afterwards said that he had no wish to remain in this country, but that his friends were very respectable, and no one should know who they were. He asked the prisoner to sign the state ment he had taken down, but he refused to do so, al though he said it was all true. Chest' Justice WILDi asked the witness whether he found any money on the prisoner? He replied only one halfpenny. lie added that a search was afterwards made at the spot indicated by the prisoner, and a lucifer box was found there, which he produced. The prisoner asked the witness whether, when he asked him if the statement be had taken down was true, he did not say that he had correctly taken down what he had said, and not that it was true? The witness did not appear to understand the distinc tion suggested by the prisoner, and the Learned Judge explained it to him, and remarked that there was a very material difference between a man saying that a state ment was correctly taken down, and saying that the statement itself was true. _ _ The witness admitted that the prisoner might have made the answer in the form he had suggested, The prisoner here interfered, and said " What I said was, you have taken down correctly everything I said." Chief Justice WILDE inquired of the witness whether ho had any further conversation with the prisoner ? The witness replied, that when he was conveying him to Maidstone, to take his trial, the prisoner told him that he had been to sea, and that Tawell, the Quaker, who was hanged for murder,'sailed in the same ship with him to Sydney to look after his property. He likewise said that he had been married, but that his wife was dead, and he hail two children, a boy and a girl, one seven and the other nine years old, but he said he had not seen them for two months. In answer to further questions from the Court, the witness said that the prisoner refused to sig❑ the state ment, and when writing materials were offered to enable him to communicate with his friends, he declined to make use of them. _ . The landlord of the public-house, mentioned by the prisoner, was then examined, to show that he was at his house at the time he stated; and evidence was also given of the finding of the box of lucifers in the hedge close to the spot where the fire happened. A statement made by the prisoner when under exami nation before the magistrate was then put in, and it ap peared that upon that occasion he asserted his innocence of the charge, and said that his object in making the ac cusation against himself, was merely to obtain a night's lodging and a breakfast. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, on being called upon for his de ence ad dressed the Court, a n d sa id he would first explain why f, he had refused to st a t e hi s name, or to give any clue to his connexions. He had two children who had been brought up respectably, as he had been himself, and he did not wish them to know that their father had stood at the bar of a court of justice as a criminal. The prisoner then addressed the jury, and in earnest terms asserted his innocence of the crime, and asked whether it was likely that, if he had really committed it, he should have remained upon the spot afterwards, or have given him • self up, when he might so easily have made his escape? He concluded by declaring, that finding himself without money, he was induced to make the cha r g e against him. tn to e self in order to obtain a night's lodging, exPecteag st e - d b a discharged in the morning, and not havingthe that it would be the means of placing him in his present degrading position. Chief Justice WILDE, in summing up, said this was certainly a very extraordinary case, and but for the fact been very well known that there had been many cases where persons had charged themselves with crimes of which they were entirely innocent, the confession of the prisoner might be taken as conclusive against him. It was the duty of the jury, however, to consider that statement with the one that he now made, and to look at all the other circumstances of the case, and then to say whether they considered that the charge was clearly established against him. The conduct of the prisoner had, no doubt, been most extraordinary. Ho was evi dently a man of some education, and his manners showed that he had filled a respectable position in society ; and it appeared that he was an entire stranger in the neigh. bourhood , knew nothing whatever of the prosecutor and therefore could have had no motive of to in duce him to commit the offence. Both the statements made by the prisoner were very improbable, but the jury would consider them together, and see whether, under all the circumstances; they could feel that the guilt of the prisoner was clearly proved. He concluded by observing, that if the verdict of the jury should be adverse to the prisoner, he would have no one to blame but himself for such a result. The jury, after deliberating for a short ti me, returned a verdict of Not tjuilty. Chief Justice WILDE said, he thought this was the safest conclusion to come to under the peculiar circum stances of the case, and if he had been upon the jury he should have delivered the same verdic t. The Learned Judge then addressed the prisoner, and told kim that he had tried a very dangerous experiment, an d h e should advise him never to repeat it. Soon after the Courts sat this morning, it was an nounced that the six actions of ejectment involving the question of gavelkind tenure, and in which Sir F. Thesiger and Sir F. Kelly had been specially retained, would be postponed till the next assizes. In consequence the ence ef the state of business , Mr. Sergeant Channell a request of the Lord Chief Justice , disposed of several common jury causes in the Record room, and Mr. Ser geant Dowling tried prisoners in the grand jury -room. room .). The latter sergeant sat nearly twelve hour s and the assistance thus rendered was a great Jle s f e t r o d the , business of the assize, and a saving of expense to the county, by releasing a great number of witnesse Before the postponement of the actions above referred s. to quite determined upon, the Judges decided upon was adjourn ing the commencement of the business at Lewes from Tuesday to Thursday next, and business will be com menced on the latter day in beth courts at • nine o'clock.

THE LACE TRADE.—The demand for plain nets since our last report has been less than usual. Some fancies of most kinds have changed hands. On the whole the trade is not good. Working short time being on the increase, prices are maintained. Some anxiety prevails as to the issue of the patent question. Serious thoughts are entertained of transferring a body of fancy machinery to the Continent, unless it can be more free:y worked here. It is a subject of much and i m portance to the trade and town of Not tingham at large , gi'°wing and leads to the wish that for the sake of such w here numbers and capital are deeply • l • involved, that such an issue could be arrived at as might secure substantial justice to all par ties concerned, and throw the mauufacture o p en to the whole trade.

The tribe of Reynard are generally wide awake upon matters of self-preservation, and this casualty can only be accounted for by the circumstance that close to the line was a flock of ewes and lambs, and that the fox had cautiously stolen across the line towards the fold, for the purpose of seizing a lambkin for her cubs—which it was evident she possessed—but that hearing the train, she retraced her steps, and was unable, or too much terrified, to escape the wheels.—Devizes Gazette. \ji-101TRED PHOTOGRAPHIC POR - -- - „, TRAITS; by 3lr.

It continued in that state about half an hour. and when it awoke it looked curious in the eyes, and it appeared to be in fits. I observed a peculiar smell, and thought the child had had ale. I asked the prisoner what she had been giving to the child. She said she had given it a little sup of beer; and afterwards she said she had given it a little ale out of a jug in Mr. Wysehall's brewhouse. I nursed the child all the afternoon, keep ing it asleep as well as I could. From time to time it appeared to have the same kind of fits again. The child died. A constable of the namo of Wallace proved the pi i soner told him she had sent a little girl to purchase some laudanum; that she gave half of a small bottla-full to the baby, and the rest she threw away. (This witness had asked the girl how she did it. He was reminded by the Judge it was not his duty to ask the prisoners any questions.) On s post mortem examination being made, it was found there were about two teaspoonfuls of liquid in the stomach. One half was milk, the other appeared to he laudanum; if it was, it was quite sufficient to kill the child. The JUDGE put it to the jury, whether the girl knew it was poison, or that it was a wrong act she was doing. In the latter case she would be guilty of manslaughter. If she did it to comfort the child, or at the suggestion of any other person, they would acquit her. The jury, after considerable hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. IVORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Jos. Cockin Hoatson, late a share-broker at Halifax, was indicted for the forgery of a transfer of tweet} shares of the Eastern Counties Railway, with intent to defraud Robert Anzelark Pilling. There were counts charging the intent to defraud severally four other indi viduals, and also with intent to defraud the Eastern Counties Railway Company, making, in all, thirty-six counts or separate indictments. Mr. Sergeant Wit.gaNs (with him Mr. Cowling and Mr. Overend) stated the case, and called George Fleming, a boy, who said that after last Mid summer, he was employed by James Hoatson, also a share-broker at Halifax. About that time the prisoner came into the office one day, and presented a paper (the transfer) folded up, and told him to sign the name Ro bert A. Pilling, upon a place which he pointed out. He did so, and then the prisoner called in another boy, called Thompson, and told him to write his name on the same paper. Robert A. Pilling examined—He is a retired trades man. The signature to the transfer was not his, nor had he authorised ony one to make it for him. Cross-examined—ln July, 1844, he sold 200 shares of the Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. Fernyhough, of Manchester, was the broker. In August he executed fifteen transfers, amounting to 297 shares. In Novem ber he executed seven transfers ; and in April, 1845, he executed a transfer of 20 shares. Witness had DO broker at Halifax. He never gave any directions to sell certi ficates of any particular numbers. When the last trans fer was tendered to him f}rexecution he at first objected to execute it. He thought the transaction unbusines like, and improper, because he had signed a transfer before fur the same numbers. lie was told before he executed it that Glover repudiated the former transfer, which was brought back to him, and witness's signature cancelled. . Thomas rarkinson, sharebroker at Halifax, proved that the body of the transfer was in the prisoner's, handwriting. Witness received the transfer and two corresponding certificates from the prisoner on the 14th August. He sent them to the office of the Eastern Counties Railway, and received in return in a few days stock certificates, the new evidences of ownership. He afterwards received instructions from the prisoner to sell them. He did so for 4504 103., and settled with the pri soner for the amount. Mr. BLISS (Mr. Hall and Mr. Pickering with him) addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that the shares were the prisoner's own, and by forging the transfer he could have no intention to defraud, and could in fact defraud no one. The prisoner received the highest character for honesty and integrity from a number of magistrates and other persons from Halifax and the neighbourhood. Mr. Baron ROLFE having summed up. The jury retired, and after being absent some time, returned with a general verdict of Guilty. On a question arising as to which count the verdict should be entered on, Mr. Baron ROLFE asked the jury if they found that the prisoner intended to defraud all the parties he had called their attention to, or, if not all, which of them ? Whereupon the jury said, they had not decided that question. They were then sent back, and remained out some time longer, when they found the prisoner Guilty on the counts intending to defraud Pilling and the railway company. His LORDSHIP said the prisoner probably thought that no practical injury would result from his act, but as the act done was one of serious consequence, he could not permit it to go unelkiiished,Liotwithstanding the very high character he (th prisoner) had rec • , aWd. As, however, he believed that he had committed tilt offence rather from a mistaken notion of his right, than from a deliberate intention to violate the law , he should only sentence him to be confined in York Castle for two calendar months. The next ease ended the Crown business of the as sizes here, and there is only ene special jury cause re maining on the Civil side. HAND-LOOM MANUFACTURING IN PHILADELPHIA. (From a Correspondent of the Economist.) Philadelphia is the great seat of hand-loom manu facturing and weaving. The manufacturers are nume rous, and, with some half-a-dozen exceptions, on a very small scale, consisting chiefly of weavers, or men who have been such. Many of them employ from two to twelve looms, in a wooden or framo building, attached or adjacent to their dwellings, which are worked by journeymen and women (and in some instances by a part of a man's family), who board and sleep in the same house as the employer. By this plan the small manufac turers economise their little means. They pay the weavers in meat, drink, and lodgings, obtaining credit for the supply of food to the household; and the balances coming to each weaver are paid in money once a month, six weeks, or two months. They are engaged in manufacturing imitations of Scotch and Carlisle goods ; 7-Bths and 9-Bths blue and white checks ; two, three, and four-coloured ginghams ; 7-4ths, 8-4ths, to 12-4ths shawls, of cotton and woollen textures, of flashy colours and patterns; coarse gingham handkerchiefs and crankies, which are coarse fabrics of cotton, woollen, and mixed materials, having stripe and cheek patterns upon them, and are used for summer coats and pants and boy's jackets, &c. Much the larger portion of the goods produced are of low qualities, woven in 600 to 1,200 reeds, and made from yarns varying from No. 8 to 40, the bulk ben g about No. 20's, and the warps are all throstle yarn, spun upon the Danforth frame, and dyed principally fugitive colours; the gouda counting in the main about 48 shots in an inch. The goods, on coming from the loom!, are measured, picked, folded, tied at each end of the folds, anti then well pressed in a screw press, and sent off immediately to the commission agent or auction sales, advances obtained to the utmost extent, in three, four, or six months' bills, sometimes in cash, and the goods are sold with all con venient speed, to pay back the amount of monies advanced. Some of the commission merchants have yarns to sell as well as goods, and furnish the manufac turers with warps and weft, by way of advances on goods, or upon credit. The credits are not open accounts, but in the shape of promissory notes, at three or four months date, and endorsed by a friend. Endorsing is a common practice, and done upon the principle of reci procity. A few of the manufacturers upon a large scale give the work out ; the weavers carry it home, find their own gears, return the material in cloth, and are paid once a month for all the work done in that month. The charges of the agents or commission merchants, are much higher than in Great Britain, and the manufacturers who buy upon credit have to pay dear for it ; so that the bulk of them fail, and, in some instances, exhibit the most bare fmed roguery. Most of the weavers and their bosses (masters) are Iri,htnen, from the north of Ireland. Some are Scotch, from Glasgow or Paisley, and some English from Lancaster, Yorkshire, and Carlisle. The whole number of w eavers in and about Philadel phia is over 4,000. They are (unlike those of Great Britain) the best paid of any operatives engaged in the manufacture of cotton, woollen, and mixed fabrics. They are paid by the yard, and earn at this time from 3s. to Bs. a day ; four-and-a-half to twelve dollars a week. The best paid work is wide three and four shuttle, plaid shawls ; and the worst is, 26 inch 70 end, 48 shots on the inc, blue and white checks. As a whole these hand-loom weavers are ignorant, reckless, and dissolute; steady good customers to the taverns and dram-shops; spending one day or more a week in drinking, and go to work so much toe harder to make up for it. THE POTATO.—It was stated in a short paragraph in our paper of Thursday, that the unexpected quantity of seventeen loads of potatoes appeared, for sale, in that day's market. The circumstance appeared to us singular enough, and we caused an inquiry to be instituted, through which we learn that the increase is owing to the disposal, by small farmers preparing to emigrate, of the seed they had struggled to preserve from the ravages of the distemper, and had ab stained from consuming, though themselves assailed by want. We understand the quality of the tubers thus brought to light from dark corners and places of concealment, some of which, we are told, were formed under the very cabin floors, is not good, some few small parcels only being sound, and re taining the farinaceous properties of the root. We may add, that potato culture i 5 more general than could have bean expected in this district; very many of the large farmers 'having planted no inconsiderable breadth of land. As far as th e indications go, there . is a probability of' a productive crop, the shoots exhibg tokens of great health and vigour. W e ar e glad, at all events, that the experiments are pretty numerous. There is no likelihood, we fear, of plenty for an age to come in Ireland, unless the potato flourishes. No i 0.38 can ensue, even suppose the whole of the present set tings turn out a failure; but if they prosper, a material ad- dition will have been made to the bulk of home-grown food.— Southern Reporter.

A case of considerable importance, as affecting the practice lately introduced into the medical world of subjecting persons about to be operated upon to the influence of ether, by causing them to inhale its vapour in order to render them insensible to pain, has just occurred at Spittlegate, in the county of Lincoln, bi n which death has resulted from that mode of treat ment. It appears that a respectable woman of the name of Ann Parkinson, aged twenty-one years, the wife of -a hairdresser at Spittlegate, who had been married eighteen months, and had a child nine months old, had been afflicted with a tumour on the under part of her left thigh for about twelve months, which had gradually increased in size until, from its situation, it became a perpetual torment to her, as she was unable either to sit dower or lie in be d wk.b .any degree of comfort. Under these circumstances, having read of the many successful cases of operations per formed without pain under the influence of the vapour of ether, she expressed a wish to her medical attendant, Mr. Robbs. of Grantham, to have ether applied, and the tumour removed. To this, after consult ing other medical men, he consented ; and on Tuesday, the 9th inst., at one o'clock, she was subjected to the influence of the ether, and the operation was performed by Mr. Robbs in the presence of three other medical men. Unfortunately, however, the poor woman never rallied, but remained in a state of complete prostration until five o'clock on Thursday morning, when she died without the slightest reaction having taken place subse quent to the operation. At the inquest, held on Monday, evidence was given that the deceased was of an extremely delicate constitu tion, and that ether was administered to her several times previous to the day ,fixed upon for the operation, in order to try its effects, and she was found to bear it very well. On the appointed day, Mr. Robbs (who acknowledged he had no faith in the ether part of the affair) performed the operation, in the presence of seve ral medical man. For about ten minutes Mrs. Parkin son was reduced to a state of unconsciousness, when the operation of removing the tumour commenced, and she appeared to feel the first cut, as she made a deep moan, whereupon ether was again applied. The ope ration proceeded during the time the vapour was in haling the second time. Mrs. Parkinson was laid upon her stomach upon a table, and upon every incision made during the operation she moaned, and appeared to feel it ; but, she did not appear to feel anything when the diff,reitt vessels were being tied up. When she was taken from the table and laid on the bed, she had a little brandy and water before the operation was over, which she swallowed readily, and a little more when she was put to bed. She did not appear to lose much blood, and the wound was dressed after the operation and ban daged, and when put to bed she appeared to be conscious. She did not appear to rally at all from that time.
