Caution against tight stay l acino. A late London paper gives the following striking case: On Tuesday evening an inquest was holden ’ fore Mr. Baker, at the Rose and Crown . üblic house, Charles street, Stepney, on ow of the body of Miss Betsy Harris, a tine uni" woman, 21 years of age, who came to r death under the following circumstances : Mr. Richard Pater, a Surgeon, residing in ihe Commercial road, stated that on Sunday • veiling last he was sent for to attend the de ceased.

New 1 ark Daily A<lc, 0/ A Miss Mk:\ t gi.e, of Reading Penn, was dancing with a number of young persons and fell suddenly dead, caused, as ’tis said, by fight lacing and excessive fatigue. Why wiH not these repeated and awful warnings lead to moderation in the indulgence of any p.casuro ? How freqently do we hear voting ladies declare that they danced in every co°. til lion, that is from 9 probably until 12 or 1 o clock. Is it not reasonable to infer that tour or five hours on the floor, occupied in the fatiguing mazes of the dance, must pro, duce great excitement and consequent pros tration of strength—that the head must be giddy—the muscles unbraced—the limbs ja ded, and (when we see the refreshment eaten at intervals.) the stomach overloaded and dis ordered ! \\ hy will not young ladies agree to dance every other or third cotillion ? Why, when the music ceases, do they persist in oc cupying the same place with another part ner a™ l going through the same steps—the same fatiguing exertions? In old times it was to guard against such boisterous, hoyden and jading exercise, that minuets were invented and made fashionable, and nothing Could be more graceful than an elegant couple walk ing a minuet with taste and delicacy* If we were to introduce the Spanish contra-dance, we should avoid the fatigue of the English or French cotillion. But of all sins which mothers stand ac countable for, that of permitting .their daugh ters to lace inordinately tight, is tire most crying. If mothers would attend a few lec tures oh practica. anatomy and the formation of the chest they would be shocked at the inevitable destructive results of compression or tight lacing,and be convinced that every pull of the fatal cord is as ruinous to life as the noose is to the condemned malefactor. But what is intended by tight lacing? To exhibit a fine person. What constitutes a fine person: A shape naturally delicate and finely proportioned. Such a shape re quires do artificial pres ure. Take a young lady in robust health, inclined to obesity and lacc her uncommonly tight, instead of approving the figure it gives it the appear ance ol an Hour Glass, X, which bulges out at the top and bottom—the circulation of the blood is stopped, the whole system deranged, and then dancing drives the blood to the head, i and appoplexy and death ensue. This fash ion is a great despot, and possesses a danger ous eccentricity. In Turkey it is the fash ion for ladies to be fat, consequently they take no pains to check dame nature in heir free and successful course—there, they are all fat, not proportronably so, but our ladies are only miscellaneously thin—they thin their waist, the most dangerous- part of the human structure, and thus walk or dance a moving monument or statue, composed cf whalebone, stay, tape, and buckram.—[.V.

EX-PHESI 1 )ENT MONROE. In approaching this gentleman, it seems as if we were treading upon holy ground. We recol lect his patriotic services with gratitude, ami arc proud to place him among the Benefactors of tlie Republic—but there are some circumstances con nected with his official station, which we do not know how to reconcile with our ideas of propriety. Delias condescended contrary to the usages cf cur government, to become tlie recipient of the charities of Mobile and New-Orleans, and in do ing so, he has at tributed to himself a degree of po litical consequence injurious fo the we 11-earned fame of Andrew Jackson. Mr. Monroe, it is true, is in the “ Lean and slipper’d pantaloon”— and wc would impute his strongccouducttoFiippr annuation, did we not recollect that when Presi dent of the United State*: he tent ale” “of A j General Jackson, w hich was afl-important to a right understanding of the Seminole Campaign. The intense interest of that affair, is well known to every one acquainted with the cotemporaneous history of our country. How then can it be sup posed, that the then President of the IS. States, could forget a document of such agitating impor tance, and one too which was so immediately connected with the political reputation- el’ our country? W e cannot conceive how it could be, unless there was, even at that time, an understand ing, betweetr Messrs. Monroe and Calhoun, to destroy the public character of Andrew Jackson. Taking these circumstances altogether, we believe that Me. Monroe is in league with Henry Chy and John C. Calhoun. The following is the letter of the New-Orlenns committee, and Mr. Monroe’s reply to it, w hich w - e extract from the “Argus” of that city of the | Cth inst. Erom the New Orleans Argus.

J.v::::s Monroe, Late E resident of the United States. Gentlemen*, l have received your very interesting letter of the 4th of April, with the remittance spe cified in it. 'File generous sentiments which my follow citizens of New Orleans have ex pressed of my conduct in the service of my country in the various important trusts in which 1 have been placed, and in the most difficult conjunctures through which we have passed, as well as of their zeal to relieve me from the losses and embarrassments to which 1 have been exposed, have in a high degree excited my Sensibility, and command my most grateful acknowledgments. I never presented any claims on my Gov ernment and Country untH my retirement trom office. I had al.vays indulged a Strong hope that by the sale of a great portion of rny property, 1 might be able to redeem the loss es and sacrifices to which my missions abroad had exposed mo, leaving a remnant which would secure comfort to myself and my fami ly for the remainder of our days. In this I was entirely disappointed, the evidence of which is established by the sale of all my property in Albemarle and Kentucky'. Ire grot to add, that the reparation which has been made to rnc lately by Congress not only failed to prevent the sale of my property, but left me under difficulties which have tmccas ingly annoyed tne since. In the claims which were presented lor losses, sacrifices and sub sequent services, I asked no favor, and I invi ted scrutiny with the utmost rigor, in all the instances on which they were founded : nor did I ask that any thing should he allowed me, which was not due on sound principles, and which my country owed it to itself to al low'. In a review of the emergencies through which we have passed, it affords me great con solation to know that a zealous and faithful [attention has been paid by me, in the stations which I have held, to every portion of the country, according to the nature of the press ure on it. At a very early period, l became satisfied that the peace, if not tlie preserva tion of the Union, depended on the command of the Mississippi. The whole Western country, from the Northern extremity of Lake Erie tiv our Southern limit, was vitally inter j estdd in the free use of its waters. Of my i services in promoting this object, which corn ! monced in the Revolutionary (.’degress of i 1786—were renewed in my mission to Prince |in 1795—and made the special object cf the second, in 1803—with the happy 'results which attended the latter, aut’ic-.,tic dccu-j merits, already published, afford you a view.

The packet ship Birmingham, at New York trom Li verpool, luings London papers to the evening of the 6th May, and Liverpool to the Ihe Journal of Commerce, Evening Post and American furnish us with the fob lowing interesting items. 1 he account from the scat of war in Poland arc to the 21st April. The Poles, it will be seen, though without any well authenticated account ol new business, arc still on the nd \ ance, and acting offensively, having occu pied Siedleo, the late head quarters of the Russians, who, in their turn, re-crossed the Bug, a retrograde movement, that indicates great weakness or apprehension. The War saw papers .of the.2lst -April, contain.an ac count (given below) of.a most hazardous at tack made by 6,000 Poles against four times number of Russians. They were compelled to retreat of course ; hut it appears Rom bkrzynecki’s account of the affair, that they retreated with credit, not having lost any of their artillery. The courage and spirit of this gall int nation, continues unabated. The Nuremberg Correspondent, quoted in the London Coutier of the 6th May, says,in an article from Bucharest of 10th April, that the Russian troops, with the exception of a small force to garrison that town, were to withdraw over the Prutl), and go into cantonments in lo.lolia, Lllhuana, and Volhynia. The with drawal of those troops was looked upon ufi in dicative of the confidence of Russia, that no disturbances were to bo apprehended on the part of the Turks-. The Courier finds a more, probable explanation of their movement in the insurrections which have broken out in the old Polish provinces, and that it is doomed important even at the risk of evacu ating Wallachia, and leaving it open to the Turks, to hasten troops into the revolted pro vinces. RETREAT OF TIIE RUSSIANS. The■ Messager ties Chambres of 2d of May has this paragraph : “The news arrived this morning affords three remarkable facts ; the occupation of Seidlec by the Polish General Lmi.-iski, announced in the official Gazette of Warsaw ; tlie retreat of the left wing of the Russmns, stationed at Kook upon Vieprcz and Radjicujan ! the retreat of Marshall Dic bitseh across tlie Bug,announced in the Whir saw Courier ot the 9ih -Nothingcan explain these remarkable and serious facts which would decide the freedom of Poland, but the insurrection of the Lithuanians, Yolbynians and even among the Russians themselves, which have obliged Dicbitsch to march to the assistance of the Empire, menaced with dis memberment by a revolution, which appears to extend from Livonia to Podo.ia, and which perhaps at this moment disturbs PetciTbur'di itself.” . The account received from Merne’l, at Dun dee, in Scotland, repeats the rumor of a g.eat battle on the 15th,in w hich 16,000 Litlmnian are said to have gone over to the Poles, and that the Russians had been completely routed, losing military chest, Ac. As, however, there is direct information from Warsaw, four days later than the alleged battle—it is probabiv only a minor. Paris Mcssager dr s Chambres of sth May, contradicts, oil the authority of the Mo niteur, the warlike construction put upon certain movements of tl Austrian Army in Italy, and the consequent match of French troops. ihe elections in England go on triumph ant y. lor reform.

Some riotous proceedings ensued, which Mr. Jef frey took the greatest-pains to suppress—in forming the mob which ho liarrangued, that he had taken Jt upon himself to countermand the military force that was called out, and there fore relied upon the citizens not to create dis turbances'. It needed, however, all the civic force to dispel the rioters. Mr. O’Conncl is said to be elected for the borough of Dungarvin. • In Ireland, great distress continues to lie experienced. The Limerick Evening Pest announces fresh outrages in the county ol Clare. Air. O’Connell was about travelling through that part of Ireland, with a view to exert his influence to quiet the people. Revolution has extended to Greece too,and Capo d'lstras has been obliged to abdicate the Government. Marcho Marchali had been iffiiced at tin head of a temporary Council of government. In I’ ranee, all was quiet. The French funds were rising, being quoted on 4th May, for 5 per cents, 83 70, 3 per cents. 62 33.' - In Italy, it appears that the success of the Austrians in checking the insurrection had been complete—Some diplomatic conferen ces are, how i ver, to tuke place at Rome.

Extract from an Official Despatch addressed to the National Government cf Poland. The enemy, whom our troops obliged to j abandon the right bank of the Vistula, and who concentrated his forces on the Siedlec I road, uneasy at seeing his communications with Bialyatock by the way of Grame cut off, dctatched against Gen Uminski the corps of Gen. Ugrowroow, consisting of the fifth regi. meat of infantry, one division of grenadiers, one battalion of sappers, two of cavalry, and two batteries of artillery, or#c of a large calibre. At sight of so superior a force Gen. Uminski thought it advisable to recrosa the Li wire, leaving only one detachment to defend the hastily constructed bridge head, which the enemy attacked vigorously. Gen- Uminski ordered the Ist Hulans to ford tho river and attack six of the enemy's squadrons w liich were posted on the opposite bank.— This order was successfully executed. Onr cavalry repulsed that ofthe enemy, killed 53 men, made 509 prisoners and captured 20ft horses. Observing, however, that the enemy was renewing his attacks on tho bridge head with continual supplies of fresh troops, Gen. Uminski gave orders % evacuating the post, and then Major ChleWski and 50 wounded soldiers were made prisoners by the Russians. The engagement terminated by a heit\y cannonade, and on this occasion our artillery gave proofs of extraordinary courage, having only a few field pieces to oppose <aa nunrt'r-' ous artillery of a large calibre, Qur loss hi these affairs has been 20 officers, 160 sub-offi cers and men, and 20 wounded.
