WHEN men wore tight taHtaloons, women
wore simply Pettieoats. II was ct this time that
the French bord cgleby, in farce, giving his
his skin ends with this warming "Mnd, that
if l can get them on shall not take them" To-
wards the end of the last century the French
revolution shook, with all other things, the en-
pire of dress. 1t gave liberty to the limbs of
men. 1t emancipated them from tight clothing,
hair powder and pigtails. 1t banished breeches
and buckles, and introduced trousers. At this
period the female fashion was behind the male
in ease. The petticoat was SO narrow that it was
difficult to walk in it, 1t was, in fact, panta-
loon of one leg for two legs. The waist was just
under the armpits This thraldOm was broken
by the Peninsular war, which introduced what
was called the Spanish dress. As 4 to indemni-
fy themselves for their long restraint in the mar
row clothing, the ladies then shortened their
peticoats very iiberally, and ankles were no
mystery But emancipation was yet partial to
them and imperfect, the parallel to the trouser
being still wanting; but 1t came with a VEN
geance with the crinoline. The crinoline is the
peg-top trouser exaggerated, and turned the op-
posite way-the peg at the waist the. wide end
downward. Women now live in tents-under
canvas as it were. All their ways are uncon-
fined. They walk up and down within their
premises They have succeeded in the encroach-
ment which would be described by Blackstone
as making a larger estate than they are by lay
entitled to. They have enormously aggrandised
themselves. They are geographically thrice
what they used to be in circumference.

MERcER's CoNDUcT IN NKw YoRk.-A CORES.
pOndent Of the New York Evening Post furnish
es that paper with the following: .,
The story of some of the sufferers by the Mer-
Ger emigration scheme, for whom it happened
lately to me to appear as one of the counsel,
must excite pity wherever known. Mrs Eliza
beth Thor1 and Mrs. Sarah BaIch-tbe former
from Pennsylvania the latter from Maine-with
their families, are now at boarding house in
Jersey City, where their baggage is held for
ooetd money, which it is said, Mercer promised
to pay. The scheme was commended to them
by those in authority, including clergymeu. In
the aggregate, more than one thousand dollars
were paid by them for their passage tickets;
while Mrs. ThorI's bedding furniture was placed
upon the Continental, which carried off Mercer
and his property, they were not permitted 70
sal, and are left destitute among strangers, in
this Wintry tine. .., ..-
think Zone gentleman, whose name was with
held presenting himself to them and to me, with
promises of partial relief which caGnct doubt
will be fulfilled, has given to me the best reason
to believe) that there are those in New York who
will right this wrong if apprised of it, and with
such am glad to recognize your influence.
The Post adds:
Mercer brought from the Pacific coast certia-
Gates Of good character and social standing; and
the Governor of Washington Territory gave him
a commission as Emigrant agent. He was ap-
proved by Governor Andrew Of Massachusetts,,
who recommended his scheme to the New Eng
land public. Il seems that he has mal-treated
and deceived a considerable number of respect
able persons. Several cases of suffering, besides
those mentioned have occurred; and the contrt-
buttons of the benevolent should be so distribu-
ted as to relieve the immediate necessities of all
who were deceived and impoverished, and whose
claims upon the public sympathy are estab-
lished,

RAnRoAD AcclDENrs.-By statistics which W
published yesterday we learn that the number
of railroad accidents in this country during Ne
past year was one hundred and eighty-three,
against one hundred and forty the year pre-
vious. The fatality, however, was in favor Of
1865, the number Of lives lost during that year
being three hundred and thrty-flye, against
four hundred and four In 1864. We here find
some reason for congratulating the public.
Although the number Of accidents the past year
was above that Of the previous year, it seems
that the fatality was considerably less We do
not know to wha. cause this may be attributed,
other than that railroad companies arc oecofn-
ing more careful about the lives Of passengers
a consideration, no doubt, superinduced by the
amount of pecuniary damages they may bt'
mulcted in.
