The following communication reached Us too
late for publication last week, when the subject
OF it would have been more fresh and readable
We give it place now, more from considerations
of gallantry towards the fair writer, than from
any apprehended good likely to result from its
appearance, at this late hour. The effort, oil
which it IS q criticism, few uphold, or are salts
fed with. Pro-slavery and auti-slavery hearers
alike, look upon it as an unfortunate affair, and
the gentlcmauly lecturer himself afforded ample
evidence, that his task was felt to be an uphill
and ungracious one. Whatever may have been
the object of thus introducing this subject into
the church. the result ought to he sufficient
ly satisfactory, we think to every opponent
of Southern Aid Societies. This view of
the matter, led US to feel that we could well af
ford to let the whole thing go by in silence -
AS, however, she looks upon it differently, our
fears of discussion are not such as to induce us
to deny her wish for the publication.

JUDICIAL DECISION AGAINST CRINoLINE.

don magistrate on the grave charge of hav-
ing, while seated IN a railroad car, run one
of his legs too far under the folds of la

magistrate, following the high example of
the United States supreme court in the
Dred Scott case, proceeded to give his
opinions on questions not directly involved
in the case He said:

in terms of the strongest disapproVal, my
opinion upon this fashion called crinoline

accidents which have arisen from its use,
coupled with the ridicule which a witty
member of the press has thrown upon it,
would have led to its discontinuance by
those who should set the example of a mod
est and suitable attire. Far from this be-
ing the case, it appears daily to increase
in abSurdity, and have come to the con-
cluslon that, since accidents have failed to
exert any influence, since moreover it would
seem that ridicule but gains it votaries,
from intellectual ladies to illiterate sculery
maids, it is necessary to take some other
means for its immediate suppression. 1t
