THE NEW FEMALE COSTUME IN AMERICA.--The
American papers contain scattered items of news upon the
revolution in female attire of which a literary lady is said to
have set the example to the sex in the United States. " The
first example," says the 111ilwankie Wisconsin of May 19,
" of the short skirt and Turkish trousers has made its appear-
ance on East Water-street this afternoon. The dress is of
green silk, and the trousers of white linen, full and gathered
into a band at the ankle with a short ruff. The appearance
is extremely elegant and graceful. The young lady 'who
has had the courage thus to face the Mede-and-Persian law
of long established custom, and discard an awkward and
useless style of dress for one both becoming and com-
modious, deserves the highest praise. We trust that
a host of others will follow her example, and leave
street-sweeping to its legitimate professors." " Yesterday,"
says the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald of May 22, "two
young ladies, of fairest reputation and attractions, donned
the new costume, and though the observed of all ob-
servers,' made their afternoon promenade. Their -dress
was elegant and beautiful. Skirts reached to the knee, and
loose trousers of white." The Philadelphia Ledger of May
26 says :—" Chestnut-street was thrown into a singular
state of commotion on Saturday. last, by the appearance in
the public streets, for the first time, of a pair of trousers upon
the lower limbs of one of the fair daughters of Eve. The
sensation produced was great." The Boston Mail of May
26 has the following :—" Last evening, or late in the after-
noon, our citizens were gratified with a sight of the new
costume. A sweet Miss of some sixteen summers was out
on promenade,' the observed of all observers.' She had en
pink coloured pants, a coatee, a belt, and nice little hat. The
Turkish dressed beauty was accompanied by a gentleman
who, carrying a big cane, formed her protection. They
marched and counter-marched the streets, and went upon the
common." And the Hartford (Connecticut) Chronicle, of
the same date, says :—" Several ladies appeared in our
strseets on Saturday with pantaloons, short dresses, and flats.

except on very stiff soils, where they have rather a sickly
appearance. What crops there are of bere and barley are
looking well, as also beans. There is a great breadth of po-
tatoes planted ; the early planted are strong, and give ap-
pearance of an abundant crop. Hay, ger ierally, is very
light, and field pasture generally scanty as yet. There ,is
some Swedish turnip sown here and there:. Farmers are

PAPAL AGGRESSION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Although I feel ulyelf not properly competent
to write on such a subject, in consequence cf want of
time to look into the various pheses of the past, yet if
we are.allowed to reason cn this matter, as on all others,
I may he allowed a few worth.
My forefathers were Scotch Covenanters, they suf-
fered much from the persecuting spirit of their time,
hut they, in their turn, to the fulness of their power
became persecutors.
We, their children, look upon the persecutions prac-
tised by our fathers as emanating from the heated and
barbarous spirit cf the time, and in so doing, as it were,
excuse all sections of persecutors.
Had we the power, we now disclaim the right to
persecute. If any persons professing our opinions do
persecute, either by inflicting pain, or in suppressing
discussion, we step forth and proclaim that they do not
belong to us.
We believe we have the truth, and we further believe
that the more truth is sifted and discussed the more
clear it becomes.
Now, Sir, although but a humble individual, I ask, in
all respect, do the Roman Catholics profess such doc-
trines and such discipline?
Are they agreeable to proclaim that I, a Scotch Co-
venanter, ought to have the same right to promulgate
my opinions in Rome, in Spain, in Austria, &c., as they
now demand of us ?
If they do so, I ask them to let it be known ; we
should then have a fair chance of rivalry in the work of

truth and philanthropy.
But while the masses read of Protestantism being
treated with harshness, if not cruelty, by Roman Catho-
lics, whenever they can do so, we must be excused in
wishing to keep their physical power a little in check
in this country—not from a wish to persecute, but
merely in self-defence.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
London, June 9. A TIN-PLATE WORKER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,--W ill you kindly afford your protection to the
ladies against a rudeness shown them in (of all places i
in the world) our Opera Houses?
On most nights you may observe them standing and
struggling for a humble peep at the stage, behind the
brawny shoulders of comfortably seated gentlemen, who,
I am ashamed to say, rarely offer a few minutes rest to
their delicate and pretty neighbours.
Can it be that in these days of refinement, we forget
the old and honoured law, place pour les dames, or is
it that we wish to show foreigners now sojourning here,
that we are, indeed, far behind them in those courtesies
w hich,throwlso great a charm over good society elsewhere?
Pray, Sir, jog our gentlemen's memories on the point,
and thereby oblige very many of your countrywomen.
I am, Sir, your ohedient servant,
Mornington-crescent, June 10. A VISITOR.
[lt would be a matter of satisfaction to all English
gentlemen if the hint of our correspondent were taker.
We trust, therefore, that all our fellow-countrymen in-
discriminately may afford the foreign visitors to the
metropolis evidence, however tardy, that in some respect
at least the people of these barbarous islands are pro-
ecients in politeness.—ED, Sun.]

FIRST REPORT oF THE DIRECTORS OF THE LAW
PROPERTY ASSURANCE AND TRUST SO-
CIETY, 30, ESSEX- S TREET, STRAND, LONDON.
At the Annual General Meeting, held on the 30th May,
1851, at the Society's Offices.
At this, the first Annual General Meeting of the Law
Property Assurance and Trust Society, the Directors
have great pleasure in submitting to the shareholders
their Report of the proceedings of the past year.
The advantages of the novel application of the prin-
ciples of Assurance to Leaseholds, Copyholds, and Life-
holds, as well as the Redemption of Mortgages and of
Loans, and the Security of Building Societies, in addition
to the contingencies of Life, have been more extensively
appreciated than as expected, and your Directors refer
with much gratification to the transactions of this So-
ciety during the first year of its existence. 313 Pro-
posals have been received, of which 192 have been completed,
and are now in force, yielding an Annual Income of
2,234/. 16s. 3d. In addition to these 27 more have been
accepted, and are in process of completion.
Your Directors congratulate the shareholders that not
a single Life Policy has become a claim.
The confidence with which the plans of this Society
are viewed by the public is evidenced by the fact that all
the Shares in the Capital Stock of the Society are sub-
scribed. And your Directors, continuing to receive ap-
plications for further allotments, have found it expedient
to declare forfeited such Shares as had not been taken
up, and in order to extend as widely as possible the In-
terests of the Society, they have resolved to issue the
few remaining forfeited shares only in small lots.
The management of the Office has been carried on
with the utmost caution and prudence, regard being bad
rather to economy than display. The entire fixed An-
nual Charge upon the Society's funds, including the
Salaries of Secretary, Medical Officer, Clerks, and
Porter, with rent and taxes, does not exceed 8001. per
annum. Thus already the Annual Income is much more
than double the fixed expenditure. The Society therefore
offers the almost unprecedented instance of having become
self-supporting at the end of only one year.
On reference to the List of Agents of this Society, it
will be seen that the services of a highly respectable and
influential body of gentlemen of the legal profession
have been secured, and the assistance of the shareholders
is particularly requested in increasing their number in
localities not yet represented.
Your Directors invite special attention to the peculiar
and great advantages offered by 'this Society to those
effecting Life Assurances on the participating scale, in-
asmuch as they receive Eighty per Cent. of all the profits
arising from every branch of the Society's business on
the participating scale.
The Assurance of Titles is now beginning to be under-
stood and appreciated. Many proposals have come before
the Board, some of which have been accepted, and your
Directors anticipate a very extensive and advantageous
business from the plan they have adopted, in cases where
large estates are sold in small lots, for assuring the title
to each of the purchasers, and thereby saving the expense
of a separate investigation of the whole title, and of an
attested copy of the title-deeds.
In conclusion, your Directors offer their congratula-
tions to the shareholders on the en tire success which has
attended the Society. Feeling assured that the advan-
tages offered by it are so manifest as to require only to
be well understood to be universally adopted, they beg
to impress upon the shareholders the necessity for active
co. operation in making known i'ts; plans to their friends
and the public, and thus to assist in placing the Law
Property Assurance and Trust Ssciety in that position,
which the experience of the past year assures your
Directors it may shortly occupy,--namely, in the fore-
most rank of Assurance Societies in the United Kingdom.

THE QUICKEST VOYAGE EVER MADE BETWEEN
EGYPT AND ENGLAND.—The On el tal Steam Company's new
steam-ship Ganges, 1,200 tons an d 500 horse-power, con-
structed by Messrs. Todd and II 1: Gregor, of Glasgow, and

the Southampton and Alexandria 'fine, made her passage out
from Southampton to Alexandria. in 11 days 2 hours steam-
ing, being an average rate of 11.4 knots per hour for the

ties of the firm were 65,0001, to n ieet which it was calculated

the retirement of Mr. Smith, Nho is a creditor for 7,0001.,
there was a loss of 6,0.001. on the concern, and that the com-
pletion of contracts then on han.l had since entailed a further
loss of 7,000/. The bank of Liv erpool is well secured, as also
Mr. Geach, of Birmingham, wb ao had advanced 10,000/. on
account of Chepstow-bridge ; bi at the creditors of Finch and
Son are also creditors to this e setate to upwards of 20,0001.
A committee, consisting of Mr. :Pearce, of the firm of Jones,
Bland, and Co., Mr. Ledward, ar d Mr. Langton, was appointed
to wind up the concern as speed ily as possible.
MDLLE. RACHEL.—Not 'withstanding the incle-
mency of the weather, the M islinee Literaire et Musicale,
given yesterday at the Castle :Hotel, Richmond, was bril-
liantly attended. The chief pa rt of the entertainment con-
sisted of dramatic recitations by Mdlle. Rachel, aided by
M. Raphael and other artists of the St. James's Theatre.
Her scenes, which were acted # not merely read, produced
a great impression, especially the celebrated one from An-
dromaque, in which she first to( IL the English by storm when
she made her debiit at her Blajesty's Theatre. The in-
tervals were filled up by the delightful singing of Mdlle.
Charton.
