A CAUTION to the Fair Sex.
(From a London Magazine.)
THE /wallowing of pins, &c. has often been
the cause of many grievous and dangerous ef
feds, and it is presumed often fatal; for upon dif
fering patients who appeared from the symptoms to
have died of the iliack passion, colick, &c. they have
been found to have been killed by pins, &c. In A
pril 1777, a young woman who had swallowed a ve
ry large pin (which stuck faft in that part of the xfo
phagus, which enters into the thorax) was brought
to the hospital at Bambrough Castle, in Northum
berland. As I then had the honour of the principal
management of that hospital, I was sent for, and
found the patient in very gjeat pain. Having some
time before considered the nature of this accident, and
concluding that if any thing could be given, that would
pass easily, and when in the stomach coagulate into a
glairy mass, it might probably bring up any thing
lodged in the passage. I immediately gave her four
grains of tartar emetic dissolved in warm water, and
then made her swallow the whites of fix eggs, and in
about three minutes (he brought up the coagulated'
mass, with the pin, and was effectually relieved.—
The fame method was attended with similar success
in an instance nearly resembling the above. A maid
servant to the Honourable Mr. Baillie, of Milerftain,
in Scotland, went to bed with twenty-four pins in
her mouth. —The consequence of which was, that in
the night the family were alarmed with her cries.—
Mr. baillie ordered her an emetic and the whites of
eggs as above, and the whole number of pins came
up, and are now preserved in the family, as a curio
sity. The fame method I have used with success for
fifh and other kinds of (harp bones.

Some time ago Ministers were in treaty with Sir
Guy Carleton, for the purpose of investing him with
the civil and military command of the province of
Quebec, and also of Nova-Scotia. The negociation
is for the present broken off, and Sir Guy is gone into
the country in disgust. The terms required by Sir
Guy are said to be an English Peerage, and the en
tire patronage of the two provinces. To the firft
condition Ministers had nothing to objed. A peerage
was a boon which they refufed to nobody. The pa
tronage, however, was of a very different quality.—
They could not exist without patronage; it was the
corner stone of their system ; and refuting it peremp
torily, Sir Guy declined all further correspondence
on the fubjed.
Ministry have it in contemplation to divide Canada
into two governments, as they have done Nova-Sco
tia, and appoint a Governor-General with authority
similar to that possessed by the Governor of the Lee
ward Islands.
Extrafl of a letter from Utrecht, June 26.
" The assembly of this province has given frefh in
ftrudions to its deputies in the States-General, to
give their utmost assistance to procure an answer to
the last memorial of his Prussian Majesty, concerning
the affair of the Stadtholder, the time fixed being
nearly elapsed ; and the most disagreeable conse
quences are to be apprehended, if it should be per
mitted to expire without a determination.
“ The Prussians are already preparing a camp to be
Rationed on the border of the Dutchy of Cleves, the
particular occasion and circumstances are not declared;
but it is easy to guess the meaning. However, it is
hoped prudence may still avert the numerous dorms
that seem to be gathering."

" The House of Assembly have passed the Bill for

The Legislature have granted the sum of £. 300
for procuring buildings for the accommodation of the
Hon. the Congress of the United States, who are to
meet at this place on the 31st day of October next.

AS the credit and utility of the paper-money
emitted by the aft of the Legislature ofthe 20th
December, 1783, for railing a revenue of Thirty one
Thousand two Hundred and Fifty-nine Pounds Five
Shillings per annum, for paying the interest and prin
cipal of the publick debts, depends principally, if not
wholly, upon the Arid and punctual collection of the
taxes, all townlhip and county collectors are called
upon, in the most pointed terms, to make their pay
ments at the day. The fubferiber is determined, as
far as depends on him, to execute the law to the ut
most; the county collectors have a proper remedy
against the townlhip collectors ; and the latter against
the taxables.—On the execution of the law depends
its use and effeCt ; a compliance with it is easy; and,
after this notice, no person can complain of conse
quences. JAMES MOTT, Treasurer.
