DiStressing.-We learn from Capt. Mayhem
Of the ship Warren, (says the Bristol Gazette)
recently arrived at that port that Captain
Charles Spooner, of the ship Erie, of Newport,
whose extraordinary marriage to Miss Kinga-
tara Oruruth, native of Otahete Island, has
been lately noticed in most of the papers of this
country, was deprived of his bride soon after
his marriage, under the following painful cir
cumStanceS:-
She had gone into the water to amuse her hus-
band with an exhibition Of her extraordinary
feats of swimming, for which she is said to have
been very remarkable, when she was attacked
by large shark The shark first seized her by
limb, but releasing his hold he made another
attack, and with one effort of his powerful jaws
severed her body in two. The unhappy husband
was spectator Of this awful scene, but could
render no assistance.

In reading a chapter on Exercise as means
of maintaining Health" in the invaluable Ply
Biological work of DR.. Jackson, of Philadelphia,
Ca work not long since published,) was struck
with the following paragraph as forcibly depict
ing the ravageS committed on the female sex by
practice which is as ridiculous as it is unheal-
thy. To the long long list ofSocieties in which
the ladies take so active a part, will take the
liberty of suggesting the propriety of their add
ing an Ant-Tight-C orsetting Society, which
should engross their attention more than the
Temperance or any other Society. NJ
The practice of corsetting young girls, by
condemning the muscles of the back, intended
to support the spine, and the muscles of the chest
employed in respiration, to state Of almost to-
tai inaction, prevents them from attaining the
size or energy requisite for the performance Of
those offices The necessary consequence is,
that curvatures of the spine result from the
bones composing it losing their natural support,
and the back becomes crooked; the chest is pre-
vented from expanding; and the lungs and
heart, being crowded and compressed, cannot
execute their functions in manner requisite for
the maintenance of the healthy actions of the
organs, and are themselves subjected to disease.
To this practice is to be ascribed no inconsider-
able amount of the rapid increase Of pulmonary
affections and diseases Of the heart, affecting
females in most undue proportion; and of the
defOrmities observed in fashionable circles in
the large cities Of Europe and this country At
least one female in six, at this period, is in the
condition have described, and relies on artfi-
cial means to conceal the defects, originating
in an absurd and tasteless fashion, acting in op-
position to nature, destroying the symmetry of
form, and the grace of notion that can ema-
nate alone from the full development ofthe frame
and the unconStrained freedom of its move
