THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1851. gig Court. of AA , the ladies were dressed in blue silk clonal* with rose coloured and gold ornaments ; the gentlemen in scarlet, geld, and blue velvet. The page wore the livery of the King of England. In the Scotch quadrille, conducted by the Marchioness of Stafford, the ladies wore a very elegant riding habit of pale !green taffeta ornamented with bows of pink ribbon, grey hats ornamented with white and pink feathers; the gentle men, were in Highland costume ; the page in a Highland i dress el royal Stuart tartan. I In the French Quadrille, conducted by the Gemstone de i Flahault, the ladies wore white satin dredes with bows of I light blue ribbon. The under skirt of cloth of gold trimmed with silver fringe. The gentlemen wore the uniform of " Les Mousquetaires Noire." Scarlet coats trimmed with silver. Jacket of dark blue trimmed with silver Gold crosses or. Demented with flour de lye, worn upon the chest and back. Red stocking*, and red feathers in the hat. The page wore the livery of the King of France. In the Spanish Quadrille, conducted by the Countess 1 Granville, the ladies wore black silk dresses, with black Spanish veils. The dresses trimmed with gold lace and coloured rosettes. The under dreNses were of grey amok, ornamented with grey and gold fringe. The gen tlemen were in black velvet, ornamented with gold, and all I wearing the order of " Galatrava " embroidered in red s ilk upon the coat and cloak. Grey silk stockings, black velvet huts with red and yellow feathers. The page wore the livery of the King of Spain. Each Quadrille then singly advanced to the throne and tendered its homage to the Queen ; when all the Quadrilles bad saluted her Majesty, the Bull was opened by the English and Scotch Quadrilles dancing togctner. . The next dance was that of the French and Spanish Quadrilles. The four National Quadrilles having danced, lines were formed by ladies of the English and Scotch Quadrilles, and ladies of the French and Spanish Quadrilles, who advanced to the throne and made their reverence. The gentlemen of the National Quadrilles formed in like manner, and having advanced, salute at the same moment, all retired by the door leading to the Picture Gallery. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were conducted to the ball-room, when the Countess of Wilton's Quadrille was formed u follows TILE STATE BALL I'he state ball last night at Buckingham-palace, so graciously designed by her Majesty to give an im t etus to the trade of the metropolis, could hardly have failed to have effected its object, even if the nobility had not been en dued with tits same petristie spirit that animated the sore-' reign. The pried Weis& by **Qom kr this bail was so happily obsess, in Wag sleet midway (in point of I costume) between the two preeiomferas of similar charm- I ter given in the preset reign, when the martial and chi-1 valise costume—at He ammith in the time of the third Edward—had entirely peeps& gamy sad Ware the advent ' of William of Orange, had *Vase eampletely the bril- 1 liant and elegant character the dries of the English court. The period represented last night at her Majesty's ball—the restoration of Charles ll.—was one, when in mit ten of costume the courts of England and that of Louis XIV. were identical, and may be regarded as almost the termination of the time when elegance, costliness, and variety in dress tended so much to the splendour and influence of the court. The alteration from this period was very rapid, every succeeding sovereign gradually denudithe court dress of some of its elegance or splendour. V elvet, silk, satin, feathers, he., castled to be the materials for the gentleman's court dress, and lastly gold lace and embroidery were removed from it. The revivification of this gay court could not, therefore, but have a very material effect on certain classes of trade. Sane of the dresses displayed • remarkable dezree of taste as well as splendour, and many were strictly historical. The baldricks worn by the gen tlemen displayed very man y beautiful specimens of gold embroidery, the patterns designed with great taste, and varied with nice effect with dead and bright gold. Velvet, satin, and gold and silver tissues, formed the staple of must of the dresses, and the consumption of ribbons must have been enormous. Not only were the doubled, trunks, and sleeves, ornamented with ribbons, but each 1 gentleman wore, from where the modern waistcoat termi nates, a great mass of loop'd ribbons, suspended mach in the same way as a highlander's phillibeg ; the coat sleeves too ter:pinata/1g at the elbow. The shirt sleeves were also bound and ornamented with ribbons, and this without counting the quantity employed in trimming the ladies dresses, must have formed a vast aggregate hinny of the gentlemen so thoroughly entered into the feeling that prompted this Hal Costume that they repudiated the attrac tions of old point, and procured beautiful specimens of lio niton point lace fur their collars and ruffles. Lord Overstone displayed some beautiful lioniton point lace in this way, made for this especial occasion, as the beautiful silver watered tissues of the Duke of Norfolk's dress, manufac tured at Spitalfields for this occasion. The company began to arrive at a very early hour, 20 minutes before 9 o'clock, and continued to arrive in one _______ lady neraldlue Sweeten. Earl of Alrlie. Lady Harriet Herbert. Lord Newark.

One of the first things that struck the eye in this gay and brilliant assembly was the greater effect produced by the costumes of the gentlemen to that of the ladies; for the dress of the latter did not appear so far removed from the fashion of the present court dress as that of the gentlemen, than which nothing could be a greatcr contrast. Some of the dresses of the ladies displayed extraordinary splendour, and with the costumes of the gentlemen produced a living end truthful picture of the period represented. Among the earlier arrivals were Miss Burdett Cootie. who displayed some most magnificent jewels. Miss Coutts wore among other ornaments a broad band of emeralds and diamonds worn in the same manner as a gentleman's baldrick, over the right shoulder to the left hip, where it terminated in a very large clasp of diamonds, used to fasten back the dress, which opened in front and displayed the petticoat; a ban deaux of large single stone brilliants paned across the back. Mrs. John Towneley displayed a very elegant costume of cloth of gold, trimmed with hews of purple ribbon and pearls. The American Minister displayed a very handsome dress of blue velvet, and richly trimmed with gold lace, a golden baldrick, and a scarlet velvet mantle, The Mar• chionessof Londonderry's costume was exceedingly s lendid. A girdle of diamonds, and a diamond border or berthe on the top of the corsage, were among the profuse display of jewels on this magnificent dress, which was of dark crimson velvet. The head-dress was also peculiar, being a sort of cap or coronet of jewels. Sir William and Lady Moles worth both displayed very beautiful costumes. Her ladyship also wore a beautiful band of jewels aerom the shoulder. The Marquis of Clauricarde, Col. lion. G. Cadogan, Lieutenant Seymour Darner, and many others displayed, beautiful costumes of the period. The national costumes of the Turkish minister, his attaelii-s, the Prince A. de Vogorides, and that of M. de Lodoriki (a very beautiful Greek drew). produced a great effect front their singularity in such an assemblage. Among the dresses not of our own court, though of the same period, were theme of Lord Eruest Bruce, who wore au extremely beautiful dress of a Vene tian nobleman; Lord Holland, who wore a dress apparently Venetian—a long mantle, completely enveloping the figure, of a material resembling Ltreeht, or uncut velvet. on cloth of gold, and a square velvet cap edged with fur. Lord Campbell, the:ChiefJustice of England, appeared in the costume of Chief Justice Hale, and Baron Parke wore the dress of a judge of the time. The suite of State rooms thrown open for this ball-room. were the Green Drawing-room and its anti-room, the Throne-room, the Picture Gallery. Ball-room, Saloon, Yellow Drawing-room, the State Dining-rums, and the Garter-room. These beautiful apartments were illumin ated and decorated in a manner to display their niaguill cence and their artistic treasures, wills the must consum mate effect. A throne was erected for her Majesty and Prince Albert in the middle of the west side of the Throne room. The throne was surmounted by a square canopy of crimson velvet, surmounted with a gilt cornice ; from the velvet depended a double row of gold bullion fringe. th , outer draperies were of crimain velvet with gold fringe, the inner draperies of muslin, worked in coloured flowers, and trimmed with silver. The interior of the throne and canopy were lined with white flowered satin, and barred with silver fringe. The chairs of State were placed on a /tout par. which was covered with crimson ; the chairs themselves' behest of crimson satin and gold. Some of the choicest and most beautiful flowering plants were placed behind and around the chairs of State. Seated on this throne her Ma jesty and Prince Albert received their numerous an-1 dis tinguished guests at the commencement of the ball. The Throne-room and the Ball-room were appropriated to dancing, temporary orchestras being erected in each for the quadrille bands. The Garter and the Green Drawing rooms were set apart for refreshments during the evening. and supper was served in the State Dining-room. Her Majesty's body-guard, under the command of the Marquis of Done-gal, was on duty in the Palace. His lord ship as Captain, Sir George Lee (Lieutenant), and the four Emma, or Capiaines Exempts de In Garde do Corps, Cap tains Kincaid, Plubbs, Belluirs, and Bickford. wore the splendid uniform of the corps during the reign of Charles 11.

Her Majesty being seated on the throne the general company were ushered to the royal presence , entering the Throne-room from the Green Drawing-room, where they had previously assembled. The munerom and brilliant court walked in procession up the whole length of the room, making on obeisance before the throne, passed into the Picture Gallery, from the entrance au the west side of the ent. This being concluded, a Herald of Arms, the on. Leopold Ellis, in the full costume of his office of this period, followed by the four pages of the four national quadrilles, Lord 'Vaughan, Hon. Seymour Egerton, Lord Richard Grosvenor, and Mr. Fraser, each in the charaete ristic dress of the nation represetatea,'entered the Throne room, and approaching her Majesty made a prolatmt. reve rence.

'file ratio of increase among the free population has been about 34 per cent. ; that among the slave population only 1.2 per cent. It must, however, be kept in mind * that immigration has contributed largely to swell the num bers of the whits, andthatthere has been no import tation of slaves. The numbers of the coloured por tion of the free population have not increased with the same rapidity as those of their dusky brethren held in slavery. In 1840, the free coloured po pulation of the United States was 380,293 ; in 1830 it was 419,173, an increase of only 32,680. or 7.84 per cent. The emigration of free people of colour to Liberia, and the evasion- to Canada. are insufficient to account for a so much more tartly rate of increase. The ratio of increase among the slaves is not indi cative of a very low state of physicai or animal com fort among these unfortunate creatures. 'The truth would, therefore, appear to he, that, in so far as mere feeding, clothing, and lodging are concerned, they are tolerably well oil; and that stripes and other bodily tortures arc less frequently - inflicted in excess then is generally supposed. ' lbis guilds with rea son. No slaves can now be imported into the United States from abroad, and there is a steady growing demand for them in the slave states of more recent origin. The slave is too valuable a commodity to be wantonly tortured or killed, unless in exceptional cases; he is petted and taken care of as a good horse is with us. It is the moral contamination that is the crying evil of slavery in the United States. Laws have been passed in slave states prohibiting the slaves to be educated; in respect of the sexual inter course, all decency and decorum are set at defiance where slaves arc concerned. Not only is the negro, but the coloured man or woman with the least pos sible admixture of African blood, treated as a mere animal.

The balance of political power between the slave and the free states in Congress is still too closely adjusted to afford any prospect of a speedy termina tion to negro slavery by any measures that would not endanger the permanence of the Union. In the Senate every state has an equulite of representation with every other; and the Jive states are 15 in number, the free states 16. In the House of Repre sentatives the altered relations of population have increased the representatives of the free states by 3, and diminished those of the slave states by the sumo ' number since 1840. But there are other considerations to be taken into ' account besides the me re aggregate numbers of the re presentatives of slave states and free states. In the 32nd Congress eight of the old Atlantic free states will have fewer members by 20 than they had in tho 27th, and six of the old Atlantic slave settee by 25. On the other hand six of the new western free states will have more members by 20 in the 32nd than they had in the 27th congress, and six of the new western slave states by 11. The old steady going Atlantic states are becoming less powerful in the House of Representatives ; the inure reckless pioneers of settlement in the fur west are becoming more powerful there ; and the ratio in whielt the re presentatives of the western free stales ale increas ing exceeds that at which those of the western slave states are increasing even more than the ratio at which the representatives of the Atlaatic slave state,, is decreasing exceeds that at which those of the Atlantic free states are decreasing. Political ascendancy is passing from the eastern to the western states ; the slavery question which now convulses the whole union will he contested among them at u greater disadvantage for the slave states; and the struggle will be less cotitrolki by sentiments of conventional decorum, and the trantmels of pro prietary consideration/5. It is not, therefore, to be wondered at that the conservative statesmen of the republic regard, at this moment, with intense anxiety and alarm, the anti-slavery agitation at present in progress through out the republic. There can be little doubt thut the stability of the Union is seriously endangered by it; and there can be us little doubt that the disruption of the Union would not only lower the republic in the scale of nations in respect of political power, but would in all probability retard the development of the tuitional resources, and diminish the security of life and property. This sufficiently accounts for the vehemence with which Mr. WEIP•TER is at present playing the part of an itinerant apostle of union in the state of New York. Prevented by the illness of his son from taking part in the presidential demonstration at the opening of the Erie Railroad, and the progress to and from that solemnity, Mr. Weisrre has cm braced the first moment of his soa'a convalescence to commence a supplementary progress on his own account. The burden of his song at every place where he has addressed the assembled citizens has been the duty of loyalty to the constitution, and the fully and criminality of the uncompromising anti slavery agitators, who are periling the existence of the Union. So well has he played his part that the glories of the presidential office have paled before the glowing oratory of the Secretary of State, and, in so far as the wings of New York are concerned, Mr. WEUSTER appears to have a better chance of being the party's candidate for the presidency at the uext election than Mr. Fittmente. Upon us who read Mr.Weesten's orations instead of listening to them, and who, moreover, read them some weeks after their delivery, and with great tracts of sea and land intervening, they have not produced quite so overwhehnitqr an effect as they appear to have done upon his unmedntte auditors. There is too much of special pleading, and too much of exaggerated emphasis about them, to be entirely satisfactory. Mr. WEBSTER'S arguments ure not of a nature to be perfectly convincing to a mind so acute as his, and his violent and frequent appeals to the Supreme Being as witness of his sincerity and good faith, weaken rather than strengthen our con fidence in both. Mr. WelisrEit takes up his stand upon the Fugi tive Slave Bill as the only means of preventing a breach between the slave and the free states. He seeks to palliate that measure by alleging that its provisions are less stringent than those of the law passed for the same purpose under the auspices of WAsuitegrole. In reasoning thus Mr. WEBSTER for gets that the hostility . against slavery both on the part of slaves and impartial freemen, has become much more inveterate and uncompromising since WASHINGTON'S time. The conservatives of the New World, if Mr. WEBSTER is to be taken as a fair spe cimen of them, arc committing the same error as the conservatives of the old; they look only to the letter of the aid law as compared with that of the new, and leave out of account the altered feelings and convictions of the generation for whom the new law is framed. There is danger, doubtless, for the United States in attempting to abolish slavery, bat there is infinitely greater danger in shrinking from the enterprise' TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Mr. Scarlett is thus once more left charge erafalres at the wart of Tuscany, and it ii a matter or no little doubt and anxiety with us here whether Lord Palmerston will finally suppress the Tuscan mission, as far as a plenipotentiary is concerned, and leave affairs in the hands of Mr. Scarlett, or appoint a successor to Mr. Shell in the person of some liberal protestant diplomatist who may be sufficiently near to Rome to let his arguments be heard and felt at the headquarters of papacy. Another death has taken, place this week in Rome amongst the members of the Sacred College, Cardinal Vizzardelli, prefect of the studies, having departed this life after a long ill ness. He lay in state for three days at the Laute Palace, and his funeral obsequies were celebrated on Wednesday at the church of San Lorenzo in Drunaso, _the Pope assisting. Ilia Holi ness, when questioned with respect to the successor whom he should appoint to Cardinal Vizzardelli's office, inquired who was generally supposed to be fitted for it, and, on hearing that public rumour pointed at Cardinal Fernery he replied, " Ah ! I see he is the man d la muds ; ho was to have succeeded A ntonclli also as secretary of state!" Besides the above funeral service, his Holiness has twice made his appearance in public this week—on Monday at the Chime Nuova, in honour of the festival of San Filippo Neri ; and on Thursday at St. John Lateran, to celebrate the Ascension, on which occasion he ascended into the balcony, and invoked the blessings of heaven upou his loving subjects collected in the piazza below. On all these occasions the attendance of people is tolerably numerous, for the Romans are reat holiday keepers, and fond of pomp and show : but not the slightest approach to joy or loyalty is demonstrated when the Sovereign Pontiff with his gorgeous . cortege and military escort, sweeps through ' the se rried ranks of spectators. A chilling silence now greets the once popular Pie None, and fear has taken the place of love in the hearts of his subjects. This feeling is just:fied by the merciless severity just now shown by the pontifical authorities. Be side Signor Politi, a member of the Roman Assem bly, another member of the republican government, Colonel Calandrelli, who occupied the post of trium vir for two or three days after the resignation of Maraud, Seth, and Armellini, and has been ever since in confinement, has just been condemned to death, but it is hoped that the sentence will not be curried into effect. The comparative cruelty of the Austrians and the priests may be judged of by the re diffence of their sentences for the same offences. For instance, at Ancona, an individual was recently condemned by the Austrian authorities to fifty blows of the stick, for preventing another from smoking, but as he was weakly, and unable to bear corporal punishment, it was commuted to two months' impri sonment, with bread and water three times a week ; whilst for the same offence, not half so clearly proved. the ecclesiastical authorities here sentenced that unfor tunate Ercoli to twenty years of the gales. besides which the abirri gave him a bastinadoing fully equal to the fifty blows which formed the whole condemna tion of the Austrians. The liberals still abstain from smoking, but the demonstration will doubtless die a natural death ere long, and so Prince Torlonia will return into the pecuniary benefits of his monopoly. The rumour of his receiving compensation for his losses, by an increase in the price of salt, has re ceived a contradiction front the official piper. SPORTING. MANCHESTER ItACES--Tuu itbDAY.

General Gemeaa's panic has been momentarily calmed by arresting, bastinadoing, and sending to the galleys, or in exile, some scores of Romans, much in the same manner that Achilles' wrath of old was ap peased by the immolation of some hundreds of Tm sans. Sow that the greater part of the Roman sol diers are beyond the limits of the capital, and the few remaining fowling pieces and thick walking elicits confiscated from the citizens, the general ap pears to breathe more freely, and to consider himself an oomparative safety, after the imminent danger of a Sicilian vesper, which he affirms to have hung so recently over his devoted head. It is useless to state that these terrors on the part of the general, whether the liana ficbc offspring of timidity, or whether put forward as a mere pretext for oppression at the sug gestion of his ecelemastical masters, have no founda tion whatever in fact, since the Romans, much as they mar groan under the double inflictions of their own and the French governments, understand too well the nature of their present position to at tempt changing it by a roup-deinnin. And, in deed, disarmed and re-disarmed as they have been by the caution of successive commanders, where are they to find weapons, even if they should find the inclina tion to use them? The rnirers and Conatitrationnel state that the " factious few" (who are still upper most lifter the thorn ands that have been shot, exiled, and sent to the galleys throughout the state) are certainly not more than a hundred in number, and that their will dictates law to the whole city, with respect to abstaining from smoking and other de- 1 ministrations of political feeling, but is it not evi dently absurd to attribute so powerful an influence to the agency of terror? Is it not absurd to suppose that, if fear alone were to be listened to, a hundred unarmed, although " factions" individuals would obtain the obedience of the whole city sooner than General fiemeau at the head of his troops, and Mon signor Itnfini at the head of a band of merciless ahirri, wheat: bayonets and bludgeons are ever ready to enforce the compliance of the citizens? The plain went is that the sympathies of the Roman people are neither with the French nor with the priests, nor ham the conduct of either been such as to induce syinpatliy or con fi dence since the restoration of the Papal throne. The pemecutions of the police and the French pa trols have in some degree ceased in consequence of the complaints of several (reign ministers,. as sub jects of all foreign powers were indiscriminately comprised in the insulting measures of the shirri.One of our countrymen, who pawed through Rome on his way to Florence, about ten days ago, and was proba bly: unwed to the brutal handling of the shirri, ad dressed a redi tar hing•Tr remonatrance to one of the confraternity, which will leave u lasting impres sion on his visage US well as his mind. The English gentleman to whom I allude had just arrived from Naples, and wore a white travelling hat of the wide awake form, with a black ribbon round it, which enormity aroused the fury of a shirr°, who caught hold of the offending article, tore it off the gentle man's head, and dashed it contemptuously to the ground. John bull's was not long forthcoming. He had doubtless that Rome was not a very safe place to walk about in at night, for he had a *short life-preserver in his sleeve, which he immediately produced for the benefit of the sAireo, to whom he dealt one blow, only one ; but so well directed that the front teeth of that worthy instantly paid the penalty of his indiscretion, and the Englishman picked up his hat and walked off, leaving his aggressor to howl with pain and', surprise. All parties have been o ff ended by the barbarities of the shirri, even to the Homan princes and mibles, whole residences are usually considered ill be free from the visits of police underlings. A good deal has been said here about Prince Iforia's having had a domiciliary visit at his villa, in conse quenee of which he had complained in strong terms to Cardinid Antonelli. and had received a very cavalier reply from his eminence, who informed the prince that those who did not approve of the pro ceeding's of the ecclesiastical goveniment were quite at liberty to leave the country and take up their nsidence in some other state. The case was this. Home shirri went to the Villa Pamfili-Doria, and demanded admittance, which the porter refused, as the prince had given orders that only visitors re viving in carriages should be let in, except by special peiniession. 'rho shirrs, unused to take a denial, Immediately attacked the porter, and gave hint a revere cudgelling ; after which they marched in, inquired of the coachmen present the names of their masters, and examined the premise' with their u. u nl insolence. The porter subsequently enniplained to the prince. and the prince to the car dinal, demanding reparation, with what effect I have niready stated. Not only Prince villa has been visited by the police agents, recently. but al most all those in the vicinity of Rome have been thoroughly searched for arias, very few of which have been found after the threatening expressions of , General Gemeatie edict. The rural habitations of farmers and vin dressers are subjected to the sane kind of perquisitions, which arc generally performed by night, by detachments; of French dragoons under the direction of shirri di rampayno. These worthies, like their brethren who ply in the city, affect the houryrais costume, and to all appearances are honest Compuena farmers, but their long cloaks conceal muskets and pistols, and some kind of military ac coutrement may usually be observed about their home trappiugs, Their knowledge of the environs probably renders their guidance necemary fur the petrols of French cavalry, but in the city the scamilm lous sight of French infantry patrols under the ca n mand of Human sbirri is no longer to be beheld, in tonsequence of the strong remonstrances of the Elena officer); themselves. This affair of the *km is not the only one which peso recently excittsl serious diaeonwnt amongst the officers of the French army of occupation. Cardinal Antonylli's note. whether genuine or apocryphal as published in the Independence R e ly e , of the l ath inst., and the National. her greatly roused the ire of the whole army, and even moved M. de Rayneval himself, to demand an explicit disavowal of the do cument from Cardinal Antunelli, as the idea of the Papal government being engaged in secretly plotting with the Austrians and the Neapolitans for the ex pulsion of the French from the Eternal city, after all the sacri fi ces made by the latter to effect the rester& tion of his Holiness, was sufficient to awaken the national sensibility even of the most devoted French upholder of clerical regime. The cardinal's disavowal In the official paper, Gdooraale di Roma, is in the fol ios Mg words- ." A supposititious note from the Se cretary of States office having been published in Teri. OILS foicign journals, andespecialle in the Belgian paper thideprialaner .
