The following is an extract from the
proceedings of a Court holden in London
Jmtmry 5, 1709, sent us by a friend for
publication :
Tbe court being prepared'for proceeding
on the cause of the pettidNtf, 1 g v« orders
to bring in a criminal who was taken up
a «be went out of the puppet show about
three nights ago, and was now standing in
the stieet, with a great concourse of people
about her. Word was brought me that she
liad endeavored twice or thrice to oome in,
but could not do it by reason of her petti,
coat, which was too large for the entrance
of my house, though 1 had ordered both
the folding doors to be thrown open lor
its reception. Upon this, I desired the
Jury of Matrons, who stood at my right
hand, to inform themselves of her condi-
tion, and know whether there were any
private reasons why she shoyld not make
her appearance separate from her petticoat.
This was managed with great discretion,
and had such an affect that upon the re-
turn of tbe verdict from the Bench of
Matrons, I issued an order forthwith that
tbe criminal should be stripped of her in-
cumbí anees until she became little enough
to enter my lfouse. I had before given
directions for an engine of st-veral l«g f
that could contract or open itself like the
top of an umbrella, in order to place the
petticoat upon it, by which means I might
3risureiy take a survey of it as it sfiould
'appear, in its proper dimensions. This was
•all done accordingly, and forthwith upon
'* ing of the engine, tbe petticoat was
Cuurt . Í then ordered the
to be set upon tbe table, and di-
late in such a manner as to show the gar-
ment in its utmost circumference; but my
¿rest hall was too narrow for the experi-
ment, for. before it was half unfolded, it
«fwcribed so immoderate a circle that the
lower part of it brushed in my face as ! sat
in ray ehair of Judicature.
1 then inquired ffr the person tJist be-
longed to the petticoat, and' to my great
surprise was directed to a very beautiful
young damsel, with so pretty a face and
form that I bid Iter come out of the <rrowd
and stated her upon a little crock at my
left hand. 44 My preltty maid," eaitf 1,41 do
you cwn yourself to have been ihe inhab-
itant of tbe garment before us ?" The
girl, I found, hid good sense, and told me,
with a smile, that notwithstanding it was
her own petticoat, she should be very glad
to see an example made of it, and that she
jwora it for no other reason but that she had
a mind to look as big and bus!:y as other
parsons of her quality, that she bad kept
out of it as long as sfce could, and until
she began to appear little in tbe eyea of
her acquaintance* , that if she laid it aside
people would think she was nftt made like
other women.
I always give gr<?at allowances to tbe
fair sex on account of the fashion, and
therefore was not displeased with the de-
fence of my pretty criminal. Í then or-
dered the vest which stood before us to
be drawn up by a pulley to the top of my
great ball, and to be spread open by the
machine it was plsced upon in such a
manner that it formed a very splendid and
Ample canopy over our heada, and covered
the whole Court of Judicature with a kind
of silken rotunda, in its form not unlike
the cupola of St. Paul's^ I entered upon
ihe whole cause with great satisfaction as
I sat under the shadow of it. The conn
id for the petticoat were now called in,
Md ordered to produce what they had to
my against the popular pry which was
raised against it. They answered the ob-
jections with great strength and solidity of
argument, and expatiated in very fluid ha-
rangues, which they did not fail to set off
and furbelow (if I may be allowed tbe
metaphor) witli many periodical sentences
and tones of oratory. The ehief arguments
ft tlieir client Were taken, first, from the
great benefit that might arise to our wool-
Am manufactories from this invention,
*hieh #ar Calculated as follows: Tbe
common petticoat has not above four yards
in its circumference, whereas, this over out-
head had more iu its semi diameter; so
that, by albwing it twenty four yards in
tbe circumference, the five millions of
woollen petticoats which, according to Sir
William Petty, (supposing what ought to
be supposed in a wéll-itoverued State, that
all petticoats are made of that material)
would amount to thirty millions of those
of tKe ancient make, a prodigious improve-
ment of the woollen trade, and what could
not fail to sink the power of France in a
few years. To introduce tbe second argu-
ment, they begged to read a petition of
the rope makers, wherein it was repre-
sented that tbe demand for cords and the
price of them bad much risen since this
fashion came up. At this, all the company
who were present lifted up their eyes into
the vault, and, I must confess, we did dis-
cover many traces of cordage, which were
interwoven in the stiffening of the drapeiy.
The third argument was founded upon a
petition of tbe Greenland trade, which
likewise represented the great consumption
of whalebone which would be occasioned
by the present fashion, and tbe benefit
which would thereby accrue to that branch
of the British trade. To conclude, they
gently touched upoa the weight and un
wieldiness of the garment, which,, they
insinuated, might be of great use to pre-
serve the honor of families. These argu
ments would have wrought very- much
upon me, as I then told tbe company in a
long and elaborate discourse, had-'I not
considered the great and additional expense
which such fashions would bring upon
fathers and husbands; and, therefore, by
no means to be thought of until some years
apace. I further urged that it would be a
prejudice to the ladies themselves, who
could never expect to have any money in
their pocket if they laid out so much on
the petticoat. To this I added the great
temptation it might give to virgins of actr
ihg in security, like married women, and
by that means give a check to matrimony,
au institution always encouraged by wise
societies; at the same time, iu answer to
the several petitions produced on tbat side,
I showed one subscribed by the women of
several persons of quality, setting forth
that, since tbe introduction of this mode,
their respective ladies had, instead of be
stowing on tbein their cast-off gowns,
cut them into shreds, and mixed them with
the cordage and buckram to complete the
stiffening of their petticoats: for which
and sundry other reasons, I pronounced
tiie petticoat a forfeiture ; but to show that
I did not make the judgment; for the sake
uf filthy lucre, 1 ordered it to be folJed up
and sent as a present to a widow gentle
woman, who has five daughters, desiring
she would make each of them a petticoat
out of it, and seud me the remainder,
which I design to cut into stomachers,
facings for my waistcoat sleeves, and other
garnitures, suitable to my age and quality.
I would not be understood that, while 1
discard this monstrous invention, I am an
enemy to the proper ornaments of the fair
sex; on the contrary, as the hand of na
ture has poured on them such a profusion
of charms and graces, and sent them into
the world more aminble and finished than
the rest of her works, so I would have them
bestow upon themselves all the additions)
beauties that art can supply, provided i*
does not interfere with, disguise, or perver*
those of nature. I consider woman as a
beautiful, romantio creature, that may be
adorned with furs and feathers, pearls and
diamonds, ores and silks. The lynx shall
cast hih skin at her feet to make her a tip-
pet, the peacot-k, parrot and swan shall pay
contributions to her muff, the sea shall be
searched for sheila, and tho rocks for gems
and every part of nature furnish its share
towards the embellishment of a creature
that ia the most consummate work of her
hands; all this I shall indulge them iu—
but as to the hooped petticoat I have been
speaking of, 1 neither can nor will al-
low it.

FROM, its commencement, .this Journal, has
. been conservative in principle, national ~ in
character, and single in its great object of ele-
vating the industrial employments—Agriculture,
Manufacturing and the Mechanic Arts.
Regarding Agriculture a$ the cornpr stone of
national prosperity, we have, sought to advance
it* interest, by, an earnest advocacy of'the far
mers' rights, by encouraging a just self-culture
as thq true means of elevating his position, and
by diffusing the best information for the manage-
ment of the .farm, the garden, the stock, the
dairy, and whatever pertains to rural economy
and thrift.
But deeming Agriculture flourishes best, and
reaps its richest rewards, in closc proximity with
¿he Mechanic Arts, we have devoted to these a
ion of our space, condensing information of
reat value to the Mechanic, and of nearly
equal value to the farmer, becausc more or less
direotly connected with his cmp'ovment. Our
motto is Onward, not only in farming, but with
whatever gives the farmer a quick return and. a
fair price for his produce; and this the cultiva-
tion of the Mechanic Arts will most certainly
accomplish.
VV ith tln'se principles' always paramount, we
have ever maintained a l]igh moral position,
avoiding everything offensive to good taste, as
also everything sectarian, or bearing upon party
politics, or scctionnl feelings or interests, thus
making our work a fit family visitor for all parts
of the country, and «-ecuring for it a selector and
wider patronage than often happens to journals
of the kind.
The Plough, Loom and Anvil is published
Monthly, each Number containing 64 pages of
reading mailer, and au.advertising"supplement,
making in all from 80to 30 pages, pri.itcd with

other at a low price, with manv subscribers. We
have chosen the latter, because tye had rather

THIS machine was introduced and used for
the first time during the harvest of 1856,
ai d, though new, it has already established for
itself a reputation which has never been reached
by any combined Reaper and Mower in a single
season, and it now occupies a position far in ad-
vance of all its competitors. Nearly two hun-
dred and fifty machines were Bold during the last
harvest, and the. demand not supplied, in the
States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Arkansas, Alabaiha, Georgia, South
Carolina and Texas, establ* jhing the faet most
conclusively, that, for universal use, economy,
strength and efficiency, this machine, both a a
REAPER AND MOWÉR,
is everything that, is detirable. Price, including

arc all of Vegetable and Southern origin. 7 hey
act very gently producing no sickness or disa-

patient from eating drinking anythiug de-

the forerunner of all diseases, a purgative dose ef
these pills, two or three taken at ted time, will
prevent all the common diseases of the country.
