The Lord Chief Justice of the court OF

Caution TO Ladies.-During one OF the late
thunder storms. lady residing in the neigh
horhood OF this town, nearly fell victim to
the present fashion of wearing steel, instead
of whalebone ribs, in front of that important
mart ofemale attire, called stays. She was
out walking at the time, and the electric
Auid evidently attracted by the metallic con-
-ductor already mentioned, played for two
or three seconds over the upper end Of the
steel. and actually scorchei the part OF the
lady's dress with which it came in contact.
The Pickering was so brilliant, we under
stand, for the moment, as to affect the sight,
and probably the danger was only ayerted
BY the intervening case of shammy leather
in which these pieces Of metal are always
enveloped. At all periods of electrical in
fluence we would, therefore, recommend our
fair readers, either to substitute whalehone
for the attractive stomachers alluded'to, or
to dispense altogether with what the above
fact proves be Il very perilous part OF a te-
male costume.-LeedS Intel.

consideration OF the Senate, stated that two years
ago, an attempt was made by one Of the Collec-
tors OF the Customs in New York, to subject the
boats used for the transportation on the Canals
In That State, to the operation of the act of 1893
requiring the enrolment and registering of vessels
employed in the coasting trade, and TO the pay
ment OF tonnage duties. Application was i'm
medlatel. made TO the Treasury DEPARTMENT bv
two OF the New York Representatives, for infor-
nation as 70 It's views and acts upon the subject,
From the aSewer received, it appeared that the
conduct of the Collector was in conformity with
the construction given by that Department TO the
coasting act.
The Legislature of the State being in session,
they immediately considered the subject, and passed
resolutions, with great unanimity, requesting
the representation of the State in Congress- TO use
heir utmost endeavors to prevent any such oppres-
sive and impolitc exacton from being carried into
eifect.''
The result was the introduction of bill in the
House OF Representatives ex.mp,ing the boats in
question from the payment of tonnage duties The
bill failed in consequence of differences of opinion
on the details, and the late period OF the session at
which it was introduced.
From that time to the present, or until yery re-
Gently, no steps have been taken by the Govern
ment to enforce It's claim, nor, in behalf of the
slate, to shield herself against its injustice From
unofficial and informal explanations, it was sun
posed mat the professions of the General Govern
ment would not be renewed. Mr.. Van Buren,
said, that he had read, in the public papers, th,t
Instructions had recently been given to the Colec
tor OF Buffalo. TO demand OF every boat navigating
the Canal, tonnage duty and an entrance and
clearance fee. He had understood the same from
other, though unofficial, sources This, he OBJ
served, was subject in which the PeopIe OF the
State OF New York, would aaturaly be sun
posed, took deep interest. They looked upon the
claim as, IN every view, understandable, and, if
submitted 10, destructive of their highest and dear
est interests. As, however, there might be
mistake upon the subject, though he feared there
was none, he would, for the present, forbear max
ing those animadversions, which, should the case
be as represented the duties of his station would
impose upon him. All that he would now saw
was that, in behalf of the State, he contepJed
that the act of 1893, was not intended to embrace
waters OF the description to which it has been at
tempted 10 extend it; that they are not embraced
by It's terms; and thai, 10 apply it to them, would
be an abuse OF power the part of the officers of
the Federal Government. That, if in this mis-
taken, the act itself was unauthorized by the Con-
sil'ution OF the United States, and an encroacb
men on the rights Of the State, which she OUGHT
and would resist to The last extremity.
The resolution was agreed to.
