This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals, Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels ; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will eonviaee the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box. These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary Passages ; aud, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness, Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dan gerous symptoms will be entirely carried oft by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to tile complexion. To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medi cine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no restraint of diet, or confinement during their use. By re gulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be re quired ; and for Elderly People they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hitherto prepared.

On Friday morning, the 15th of October, she took the child out about eleven o'clock, and was absent about an hour. On her return the child was asleep. It continued iu 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 bad 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 name of Wallace proved the ph i goner told him she had sent a little girl to purchase some laudanum; that she gave half of a small bottle full to the baby, and the rest she threw away. (This witness haul asked the girl how she did it. Ha was reminded by t! Judge it was not his duty to ask the p‘isoners ans questions.) O.t a post mortem examination being made, it we found there were about two teaspoonfuls of liquid in the stomach. One half was milk, the other appeared to lie laudanum; if it was, it was quite sufficient to kill the child. 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. /V ORTHERN CIRCUIT;.York, March 18. CROWN COURT. —(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Jos. Cochin Hoatson, late a share-broker at Halifax, was indicted for the forgery of a transfer of twent) shares of the Eastern Counties Railway, with intent to lefraud 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 WILKINS (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 Howson, 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 no broker at Halifax. He never gave any directions to sell certi &Wes of any particular numbers. When the last trans fer was tendered to him for execution he at first objected to execute it. He thought the transaction unbusiness like, and improper, because he had signed a transfer before for 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 Parkinson, sharebroher 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 stook certificates, the new evidences of ownership. He afterwards received instructions from the prisoner to sell them. He did so for 4501. 10s., 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 pactical injury woulu result from his act, but as the act done was one of serious consequence, he could not permit it to go unpunished, notwithstanding the very high character he (the prisoner) had received. As, however, he believed that he had committed the 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 Y o rk Castle for two calendar months. The next case ended the Crown business of the as sizes here, and there is only one 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 ,tale, consisting chiefly of weavers, or men who have been such. Many of them employ from two to twelve looms, in a wooden or frame 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 woollrn textures, of flashy colours and patterns; coarse gingham handkerchiefs and crankies, which are coarse fabrics of cotton, woollen, and mixed materials, having stripe and check 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 beir:g about No. 20's, and the warps are all throstle yarn, spun upon the Danforth frame, a n d d ye d pr i nc i pa ll y fugitive colours; the goods counting in the main about 48 shots in an inch. The goods, on coming from the looms, are measured, picked, folded, tied at each end of the folds, and then %sell 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 mouths' 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 dime in that meth. 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 fa.!ed roguery. Most of the weavers and their bosses (masters) are Irishmen, from the north of Ireland. Some are Scotch, from Glasgow or Paisley, and some English from Lancaster, Yorkshire, and Carlisle. __ _ The whole number of weavers 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 prd, and ea, n 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 inch, 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 tue 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 is more general than could have been expected in this district; very many of the large farmers having planted no inconsiderable breadth of land. As far as the indications go, there is a probability of a productive crop, the shoots exhibiting tokens of great health and vigour. We are 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 loss 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.—SouMern Reporter. r 'Y. ~1. ~~_ ~, _ r // C~Z% ~~ '~~~ PRICE SD.

Will be Published on 25th March, Part 1 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 magaz‘ne 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 bute to preserve that freshness of novelty which toms 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 llcation 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 , IYie highest available literary talent. Each Part of the " Book of Entertainment' consists of Six Sheets of post Bvo, printed in a new and beautiful tyre, and accompanied by two Illustrations by eminent artists, on tinted paper.

He asked him what-be wanted, and whether it was about a robhery, and be, : said it was.

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 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 g statement, which witness took down in writin , He said that he was at the Coach and Horses public-house, near itochester, and had some 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 wept in and set the stack on tire with one limiter 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 yards from the stack. He then said he stayed for some time to see the fire, and afterwards went to Rochesterlo give himself up. The prisoner then told him that if be made a search he would tied the lucifer box in the plane he described, Witness again asked him to give his name, but he refused, and upon his examining his clothes to see it 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 or 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. Chief Justice WILDE asked the witness whether he found any money on the prisoner? He replied only one halfpenny. He 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 he had taken down was true, he did not say that hc 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 everythin g I said." Chief Justice WILDE inquire d of the witness whether ho had any further conversation with the prisoner ? The witness replied, that when he was conveyin g hi m 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. Ile likewise said that he had been married, but that his wife was dead, and he had 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 furth er que s ti ons f ro m the Court, the witness said that the prisoner refused to sign 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 th e publi c -h ous e, mentioned by the prisoner, was then examined, to show that he was at his house at the time he st a ted ; and e vidence 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 t h e n 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 breaklatt. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, ou being called upon for his defence, ad dressed the Court, and said he would first he had refused to state his name, or to g ive any explai e n la w e h t y o his connexions. He had two children who had been stood t o d d he didbrought w u i p ah re th sp e e m et t a a bl k y a , o a w s htheahtatdhebireefnathheimr shealdf, the bar of a court of justice as a criminal.

Chief' Justice WILDE, in summing 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 up, said this was 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. He 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 hare bad 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, itahehilseast Idea 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 time, returned a verdict of Not aunty. Chief Justice WIL DE said, he thought this was the safest conclusion to come to under the peculiar that he d circum stances e of the case , a nd if he had been u p o n the jury he s h ou ld have delivered the s a me verdict.

Boz's LAST WORK.—It must be a matter of sur prise to the public generally to perceive how varied are the opinions expres se d by th e l ea di ng newspapers , with respect celebratedto thatM rs. some e Dickens'sadversea authors tho last r s criticisms a y proceed uponpublication. ft rhlotem worksma personal well t educational prejudices. Th ese , h owever , cou ld a ccount for hbi feelingses and imaginedothr e or but a few. The m a j or ity, as we h ave t h e b es t me di ca l au• thority for stating, may b e ascribed to irritability of temper, generally arising from aderanged state of the liver and other viscera, and which could easily be remedied by the occasional use of Frampton's Pill of Health, h whic is gentle in its operation, and unfailing in its effect. 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. Ott 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 freely worked here. It is a subject of much and growing importance to the trade and town of Not tingham at large, and leads to the wish that for the sake of such large interests, and where numbers and capital are deeply involved, that such an issue could be arrived at as might secure substantial justice to all parties concerned, and throw the manufacture open to the whole trade. Both efforts and regrets may. before long, be thrown away. When a busi ness emigrates it seldom returns. Since writing the above, we understand that some lair American orders have been re ceived by the packet of yesterday. —Nottingham Review. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. --On Monday morning a vixen fox was found dead on the line of the Didcot and Ox ford branch of the Great Western Railway at Radley, her head being partially cut off by a side blow from a passing train. The tribe of Reynard are generally wide awake upon • matters of self-preservation, a nd this casualty can only be accounted fur 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.

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, in 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 wite of a hair•dresser at Spittlegate, who had been married eighteen months, and had a child nine months I old, had been afflicted with a tumour on the under part of her left thigh for about twelve months, which had gradually increased in Sin until, from its situation, it became a perpetual torment to her, as she was unable either to sic down or lie in bed with 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 m e di ca l 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. ltobbs 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. Hobbs (who acknowledged he bad 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 different vessels were being tied up. When she was taken from the table and laid on the bed, she bad 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. On the following day she remained in the same low state, and Mr. Hobbs saw her more than once, and sent her medicine, which was administered, and a little thin gruel and tea was given her by his directions, which was all the nourishment she took On Wednesday she com plained of a numbness in both legs and the lower part of her back, and hot bottles were applied by Mr. Hobbs' directions, but she was not relieved. On the Thursday morning, about twenty minutes past five o'clock, she died without uttering a groan. From the time the operation was performed till her death she never moved by her own power. At the conclusion of the evidence, the CORONER, having duly cautioned Mr. Hobbs, requested to know whether he was desiroib of m,king any statement relative to the case? Upon which that gentleman described the man ner in which the vapour had been inhaled, and stated n cl übdeing ing the occupied tying the inhale ion and the necessa r y banda g in g , &c. He n t that attbteh vessels, e o s operation titremai n lasted 2 re(sler m i nutes, of the also stated that he believed the deceased felt as much p a in as if she had not inhaled the vapour, as she cried out and straggled at each cut. He then proceeded to read accounts of the numerous operations which had been performed by the most eminent surgeons in the publio hospitals and other places where the ether had been used with success, and stated that nothing had bean done in this case but what bad been fully warranted by the practice of the leaders of the profession. He also stated that he had attempted to produce reaction 'oy the exhibition of ammonia and other applications with out success. The CORONER then summed up, and the jury, having deliberated a short time, pronounced a verdict, " That the deceased Ann Parkinson died from the effects of the vapour of ether, inhaled by her for the purpose of alle viating pain during the removal of a tumour from her left thigh, and not from the effect of the op era ti on, or from any the conclu s ionoth er au f the case Mr. H o bb s stated that e he fully concurred in the verdict, as he had no doubt whatever that the ether alone was the cause of death, and it was a duty he owed to the public to say s o. The verdict was then sign e d, and the nated. inquiry termi nated. ----------------_—_ —___ ALGERIA.—The 111oniteur Ali erien publishes the following statistic of the European population of the French possessions in Algeria at the end of the last year :.---, The total of the populution in the provinces on the coast is 107,168 souls, of whom 47,274 are French ; 31,528 Spaniards; 9,440 Angl o -M a l tese and English : 8,175 Italians; and 5, 386 Germans.
