Our Readers will perceive, from an advertisement in another part of our Paper,:that the increased charges have been ordered I. be suspended, and thit the plaining parties are even freed front the itoisble of at tending on the Commissioners to prosecute their s appeals. The attempted augmentation is altogether imputable to the self-interested motives of the inferior oSters, who' derive their incomes from apes tentage in the sums they collect.

Tickets of invitation were issued yesterday to a Ball at the Palace this evening, all the tickets expressing, that.the children of . the parties invited were expeCted to be present. The assemblage was certainly very nu merous—perhaps upwards of two handled, including a great proportion of-the juvenile branches of the No bility, with, at the same time, a still greater number of adults, so that the scene was of a mixed character with respect to the age of the parties. The Ladies, both young and old, were all splendidly attired, and pink or white satin, with slips of point lace, was the prevailing dress among them. There was no great display of ostrich feathers, but diamonds blazed IR profusion, and the little Ladies and Misses of more tender years, had their little tresses braided with studied ,elegance, so 'as to exhibit their pretty smiling faces to the greatest possible advantage. There was, as may be supposed, a conspicuous array of military bean:, and their rich, glittering uniforms, dazzled every eye as they were dispi-tyed in splendid 'contrast with the liglitkr drapery of the Ladies. The tend ensembk presented associations which even the sourest cynic could not contemplate without' de light and admiration.
