HIS MAJESTY'S GRAND BALL. The KING gave a Ball at his Palace in St. James's, do Monday evening, to which the members of the koyal Family, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers and their Ladies, and a numerous party of the Nobility and Gentry, Mere invited. Preparations for the accommodation of the party had been made in the State apartments and other parts of , t h e Palace. The room adjoining the ball room was', converted into a second ball room, in order to give a mple space to the dancers. Both rooms were chalked pi t h repte.entations of foilage in various wreaths and devices. The orchestra for the quadrille band was equally divided between the two rooms one half being en either side of the partition which separated them. The windows of both the ball rooms had Italian Canaletti blinds, on the outside, and fine gauze blinds, a arwhich his Majesty's armorial badges were painted in the in,idea By means of these blinds the windows could be left open d u ring the night, and the apartments well ventilated, without the slightest inconvenience being experienced by any of the company. The Throne room was used as the drawing room, and the King's closet as a card room. In the Banquet room additional ventilators had been formed for the better airing of the apartment, the heat occasioned by the chandeliers Ste. being found very oppressive at the late Juvenile Ball. The recesses in the windows of the whole of these apartments and the different fire-places were filled with the choicest e 'wets and plants. The Armoury Leading to the Presence Chamber was, in the present instance, set apart for the Band of the Life Guards; who were stationed here in their State Dresses, and who played several pieces in the course of the night. Soon after nine o'clock a detachment of Life Guards, preceded by their Band, in their State Dresses, took up their station at the eastern entrance to the Palace, in a line parallel to the Royal German Chapel. The Under Porters, the Mar:halt:vs), and the Gentle. men Porters, were in attendance, as were also his Majesty's Pages, in their State Dresses, together with Messrs. Messenger and Dobell, the State Pages. A party of the Yeomen Guard were on duty, and were stationed at short distances in the avenues leading to the two grand staircases, and also from the top of the staircases to the entrances to the State Rooms. The party appeared in their coronation dresses. The company began to arrive a few minute: before tee o'clock, and continued to set down very rapidly, nll eleven. The Duchess of KENT, attended by the Bareness de 6,tacith and Sir John Conroy, arrived in the Palace Court Yard about ten o'clock. The band of the third Regiment of Foot Guards, which was stationed with the King's Guard in the Court Yard, received the Royal Duchess on her arrival, with " GOD save the King," which was repeated by the band of the Life Guards as the Duchess passed through the Armoury, in which they were stationed, to the State Apartments. The Duke and Duchess of GLoucesrut arrived about the same time with their Suite, in two carriages, at the en trance in the Ambassador's Yard. Their Royal High wises were attended by Lady Caroline Legge, Colonel Higgins, and Major Forster. Prince LROPOLD. attended by Sir Robert Gardiner, and the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCR, successively arrived, and were severally re..l cured by the bands playing 4, GoD save the King."--.. The Duke of CUMBERLAND entered by the Kings pri vate entrance. The KING entered the State Apartments a felt minutes after en o'clock, dressed in the uniform of a Field , Matshal, and wearinz the insignia of three different Order,. His MsJerry received the company in the mug condescending and gracious manner. About half-past ten o'clock, the Kato, having taken his teat in the Ball Room, surrounded by his Royal Relatives, dancing commenced. The Band consisted of thirty performers of the first-rate talent. Owing to the superior accommodation afforded by the addition of the second Ball Room, four sets were enabled to be danced. Quadrilles, with waltzing at intervals, were danced during the night. Refreshments were served to the Company in the Picture Gallery during the evening. At one o'clock it was announced to his Majesty that the supper was served in the Banquet Room. His , Majesty left his seat and led the way to the apartment with his Royal Sister, the Duchess of GLot:desraft, followed by the company. The Band of the Life Guards commenced at this moment playing a march, and continued to petforin several pieces during the repast. The supper was laid out in the Banquet Room, in a style similar in most respects to that of the Juvenile' Ball; in the present instance there was a greater supply of plate. A sideboard was fitted up at the south end of the apartment, with damask drapery, on which were arranged several splendid specimens of gold plate. Atter supper dancing was resumed. At three o'clock his Majesty retired ; the Quadrille Band played " Gon save the King." as his Majesty passed through the suite of State Rooms. The Ball then concluded, and the members of the Royal Family and the test of the com pany took their departure.

About five o'clock this morning great alarm was pro duced by its being discovered by the watchman that part of the 4prensises of Mr. MYLOY, silversmith. oppo site Exeter 'Change, in the Strand, was in flames. The alarm soon caused the arrival of the Exchange, the Sun, other engines, and plenty of &alien, when, by their (unions, the fire was subdued, being confined to one room in the house. RoaaaaY.---A young man of smart appearance con trived to insinuate himself into the good opinion of a simple countrt girl, who is in the service of a Gentle man in Manchester-street, Mary-la-bonne, and who was left to take care of the house in the absence of the fa mily. He drank tea with her on Sunday, and then per• suaded her to take a walk, proposing to put the key of the house into his pocket. He afterwards desired her to wait at the top of a street, while he left her for a short time, and sever came back ; and, when she re turned, she found the house wairobbed of a gold watsh, several gold chains, many valuable rings, necklaces, ,brooches, &c. Among the presents destined to the Schah of NUM by the Emperor of Russia, and which are customary in the East atter the conclusion of peace, is a bedstead of extraordinary magnificence, and which has been ex posed at the Emperor's palace of Tauride, in the ca pital, for public view, preparatory to its being sent to Persia. It is entirely made of crystal, and is accessible by steps of the same material, all worked in imitation of large diamonds incrusted in solid harm Oa each side there are spouts meant to eject scented Water, which, by its murmurs, invites sleep. It is crowned by a large chandelier, which spreads light in such a man ner over itself and the rest of the frame, as to give to the whole the splendid appearance of millions of dia monds reflecting their brilliancy at once, THE THEATRES. . . DRUM:ANL Last mains, m Comedy in three AM, tolled Ups 1 and Downs I or, The Ladder of Life, was performed for the first time at this Theatre. We subjoin a list of the characters: Rail Warner. . . . . Mr. Hoona. Mr. Hammonton . . . Mr. Coons. Mr. Felix Mulberry . . . Mr. Limas. Jack Pointer . . . . Mr. Jonas. Cristorber Higgins . . Mr. J. Ream. Comte,. Dowager of Delmore . DAVISON. Lady Cliatiewood . . .ilia. I. Pawn. Amelia Mammonism . . . Miss Bun Tags. Kitty Corderoy . . Miss Lon. Mrs. Corderoy . . . . Mrs. C. Jona. Livros is of course the hero of the piece. He pea sonates a Mexican merchant, who, born within the sound of Bow bell, has followed the chace of Fortune through the New World with some degree of success, and, returning home, resolves at once to change and better hi, condition. With him matrimony (in accord. ance with the derivation of the punster.) is neither more' nor less than a 44 Matter-a• money," and he fixes his af fections on the portion of Kitty Corderoy, daughter and heiress of a substantial dealer in cottons in the city. Bat an unexpected stroke of good luck occurring, Mudberry determines upon looking higher, and trans fers the stock of his affections to another account. With this view, he addresses Amelia, sister to a wealthy banker, from the pursuit of whom he is only diverted by the intelligence that his uncle has recently died, leaving him the successor to a fortune of half a mil lion. Felix is not only fortunate bat ambitious, and the banker's sister is abandoned like the cot. ton.seller's daughter, for the pursuit of a Lady of qua lity. 111 appears to see no reason why the aristocracy of wealth should not identify it s elf with the aristocracy of blood, and accordingly addresses Lady Charlewood, the young and beautiful widow of a man of rank. Our hero has no o reached the topmost round of the ladder; but, like many other celebrated persons, only for the purpose of being " turned off." His fall is more rapid than his ascent. A ship which, through A cunning but improvident penuriousness he had neglected to insure, is, after its safe arrival in harbour, burnt to the water's edge: and a will is discovered, by which his deceased uncle bequeaths the bulk of his property to the slighted Kitty Corderoy. Mr. Madberry's proposals for the hand of Lady Charktoood are rejected, that Lady uniting her fortunes with Mr. Mammonlon. He retrogrades to the now wealthy Kitty with equal ill success, for the cotton seller's daughter has dedicated her affections to Chris • topher Hiins, her father's confidential clerk and prin. pal warehouseman. By Amelia, who prefers an insipid Earl, the hapless Mudlierry is also repulsed. LISTON'S part is an amusing mixture of vulgarity mid conceit, and the performer made the most of it. As usual, he looked unutterable, and did inimitable things. We have seldom seen any thing finer than his mode of blending together the opposite and apparently iireconcileable qualities of shyness and selicomplacency which enter into the composition of the character of ' Felix Mudberry. He is disconcerted by the merest trifle, yet thinks himself irresistible, and presents his mistress with a nosegay, rivalling a may-bush in size, and a winter sallad in beauty and variety, by way of delicate attention. Jack Pointer, an agreeable factotum and fashionable match-maker—one who starts game for for others to run down—was played by JONI!' with his 'customary polish and vivacity. Mr. RossaLia Chiis gopher was duly insipnificant, and conversant with stay laces. Mrs. DAVISON assisted the dramatist in carica turing s Countess. Coors* dressed his banker worse than a banker', clerk. Miss I. PATON looked pretty, and Mips Tare proud in their repective characters. Miss Love's Kitty was redolent of the boarding-school ; and Mrs. Jwisis played a city Malaprop with great vigour. , The piece, which, we believe, is in part an importa tion from the othei side of the Channel, can boast of some amusing situations, some striking characters, and some smart dialogue. In fact, it is a farce in three acts, but a diverting one; and in the absence of better things, will continue to amuse the frequenters of this theatre for a time, as it did last night. COVENT-GARDEN. A new opera, under the title of Carron-side, or the Fete Champetre, was last evening produced at this theatre, the music of which is the composition of Signor Literati. His opera succeeded to the fullest extent— and when its repetition was announced, there was not a single dissentient truice—a gratifying proof, not only of the composer? merit, but of the capability of au Bnglish audience to appreciate it. The result is not,, however, wholly attributable to the composer—the author has done much—the plot is well arranged, the language exceedingly pure and agreeable, and the poetry of the songs more than usually beautiful and expressive. The following sketch will afford some idea of the plot. Tt.e scene is of course in Scotland, by the Carron-side— ana the characters exclusively Scotch. Colones' Camp bell (Mr. BLANCHARD), has one fair daughter, whom he loves passing well, and determines to marry to a young naval Officer, Captain Allan Lindsay (Mt. SA• Pro) but the affections or the gallant sailor are already engaged by a pretty protege of the Colonel's, Blanch Mackay (Miss STEPHENS) who is a reputed grand. daughter of an honest old trumpeter of the Scotch Greys, and a faithful follower of the Campbells (Mr. BARTLEY). The sailor has a brother, a gay Cornet, to whom the heart of the Colonel's daughter is secretly plighted. • Poetic justice is therefore easily accorded, and, after a variety of eventful incidents, all parties are made happy—the Pair Blanch turning out to be the daughter of Mrs. Campbell by a former husband. The less prominent personages of the piece are Sandy Sato derson (Mr.Kaaurv), and his wife Janet (Miss GOWARD). The first act of the Opera passes somewhat heavily, redeemed only by the singing of Miss STEPHENS, Miss CAwsa, and Miss GOwARD. In the second act there are some very spirited and effective scenes, in wkiCh BARTLIT, Mias STE PHENS , B LANCHARD , and min Gowarco, performed• with very great ability. lbe composer is under very considerable obligations to those who bad to give effect to his production. Miss STEPHENS was in excellent voice, and exerted herself to the utmost. She was tapturously encored is several of her songs, especially in one, in the first act, commencing " Boot and Saddle, Bonnie Scot," and la her con cluding song of the second Act, I 4 The die it cast) in vain I strove." SAPIO and WOOD also gave the composer and author very efficient support. A Duet in the first Act, commencing " O'er the billows let me roam," was extremely well executed, and rap turously encored. A concerted piece in the second Act, "Row the bit boatie fra' Clachan to Coie," in which Miss Cnersar Miss STEPHENS,' Miss GOWARD, Messrs. WOOD, SAPIO, and KEZIAT, took pans, was applauded, and de s e rve dly so —it possesses rllsT sufficient of itself to e s t a bli s h a reputat i o n for its meritrsptu author. BLANCHARD played the Old General in his best style. BARTLRYWAS atrexceUent Donald Mach, and Miss Gowano and Kluane did all they could tot the author, who has done nothing for them. The Piece was announced for repetition on Thursday, and the : announcement recoiled with uoadmeus approbation. S SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SETTLING FOE THE DitWilt AND OAkg. The amngemenri of the steams' for the *bore Stakes tool d pine yesterday at Tattersall's, the room and yard being crowded daring the whole of the afternoon. Addi t ional leconunodadoos were peotided foe the occasion, tables having been placed In *adage parts of the yard, and the doors kept well guarded, to keep out all, those who were not subscribers, unites on the payment of Gad sovereign, by which meahs much confusion was avoided. The. settling occupied the whole of the day, and, as usual, was disturbed by an occasional wrangle I but the most enpleseant part of it wee the absence of a Gallant Captain, whose deficit Is stated at between thirty aid forty thousand pounds, and of whose paying small hopes are entertained. That much &Imlay and inconvenience was occs sioned by this, may be easily credited; foe, besides being of ityelf very heavy sum to keep out of the market, it had the effect of dis arranging many other accounts, and preventing their adjortment: Some of the betting men are kit very hard by she absentee--otte of the principal loses about £7.000 by him, another Gentleman suffers by him to the amount of near 03.000, and a third near X 4,000, and many others in serious sums; some who were good winners by the races are, in consequence, losers in balance; and a select few are fortunate enough to profit by the circumstance, having been losers to the Gentleman alluded tot his engagements oa the St. Leger being very limited, the books in that race will not suffer muck. The amount lost on the Derby is great, and would have been still heavier but for the dead beat, which afforded many, who stood to lose on one or other of the horses, an opportunity of hedging. Th• Yorkshire people are the greatest sufferers. The Colonel having been backed by them to a large amount; the winnings go chiefly to the west end of the metropolis, and the Newmarket people are also good winners. Looking at the amount of money depending on die Derby and Oaks, and the amount paid yesterday, we should say al least one-third remains to be accounted for. Towards the evening, a few bets were made in the Great St. Leger, 3 to 1 being taken about Velocipede, 6 to I offered agst The Colonel, and 7to 1 agst limy Bedlam. In the course of the after noon, Mr. Molony sold Upas to Sur Lewitt Glyn for ,E2OO. _ _ ROWING MATCH. Monday a very interesting Rowing Match, which excited great attention, tookplaee between some of the apprentices to watermen, at Hammersmith, for a sweepstakes of AEI° and some minor prises. The baits started from u the' Crab Tree Tavern, to the West Middlesex Water Works and back to the Hammersmith Bridge. Several heats took place; but the chief attraction appeared to be the last heat, between Charles Fribourg and James Mallet, which was contested in a very e xc e ll e n t st yl e , an d was won by iriboora by about a boat's length. PEDESTRIANISM. Sheppard, the Yorkshire runner, attended at Lord's Orieket. ground, on Monday, to perform his match of running ten *lke within an hour, fur a wager of £2OO. The ground was in very bad condition, in consequence of the rain, but the terms being 4 * play or pay," no postponement could take place. He lost the. marsh by one minute. GOLFING. • . The Gold Medal given by th e H onoura bl e Edinburgh Comsat of Golfers was played for over Leith Links on Saturday week,aud after a been competition, won by John Taylor, Esq. EX ECUTIQN OP JOSE DOLORES BONILLA, FOR THE MURDER OF MR. O'REILLY, ins MAJESTY'S CONSUL AT GUATEMALA. In our former numbers we gave an idea of the atro cious crime which occupied public attention, whets speaking of the assassination committed on the person . of Mr. John O'Reilly, his Britannic Majesty's Consul. We related that Judge Manoel Betita was commis• ' sioned to bring the inquiry to the speediest issue ; and after complying with the forms requ red bylaw, the unhappy criminal was condemned to the pain of death,' from which sentence he appealed to the Chamber of Second Instance. • Bonilla was fully convicted of the assassination 'and robbery ; and the Judge of the First Instance, taking into account the enormity and atrocity which constitute the first crime, and show the premeditation with which it was executed, and the previous measures and sub sequent precautions that characterised it, considered that, to commit the second crime, he bloke open the trunks and locks; that both acts have violently ex cited publie.indignation ; and, considering the s ein e d .. law, 21st title, 12th Book of the latest summary, it. Doctrine of Guittierez—a writer on criminal lap and the enactments of the fifteenth 'Article of the law of September 11. 1820; and holding that the effect of punishment is the more certain in the same pro portion as the application is more prompt • and' that the delinquency of Bonilla is aggravated .6y the violation of domestic confidence, by reason of which it is become necessary to add to the actual punish.' ment—circumstances that might perpetuate the me• mory thereof in the most appropriate manner, according to the advice of the Jo' isconsult Bentham—he said that, under the I,t and 2d articles of the Constitution,. and the injunction of the law, title Bth, part 7111....66 He ought to condemn, and did condemn the culprit, Jose Dolores Bonilla, to suffer death, which should be -ex ecuted by the baiter, in front of the very house where the crime was committed; and ordered, atter the eleco. l tion of this punishment, that the head should be cut off frohs the Irscly, and fixed on a lance, with'the inscripa Tien of— , Justice lor the atrocious assassination of his Britannic Majesty's Consul ; which lance is to be fixed_ on a sent: y box. This sentence being pronounced on the 11th instant, the culprit appealed to the Court of Second Instance, which, after bearing his Counsel and the fiscal, confirmed' the same. In observance of the law of the 9,h October, 1812, which is still in force, the execution vests carried' into effect, and the prisoner put in capilla on the 19th instant. After having received spiritual comforts, the' Judge of the First Instance caused him to be conducted, on the 21st, to the place of execution—where he was shot, because the proper instruments of execution could not be procured with requisite speed. For the remainder the tenour of the sentence was duly fulfilled. CHILD Srorms.—Sunday morning. between nine and ten o'clock, a little boy named Thomas, three years old, was stolen froth his parents, residing in George place, . Vincent -street, Regent -street, Westminster. A distressing accident occurred this morning at the Sauey side of Westminster Bridge. by the upsetting of. a small chaise-can, which contained between nine and ' ten persons, returning from Greenwich. The portico-, lan of the accident are as follows :—the horse, in a very jaded state, halted and refused to proceed, when the man having charge of the animal proceeded to beat it .in a dreadful manner: the horse became violent, and suddenly plunged and kicked in such a manner that . the cart upset, and the horse, still struggling to extri cate himself, unfortunately kicked several persons in the cart l and when the animal was at length secured, it was found that four of the persons were neatly lifeless from the injuries received. Two of them were women ; one bad her scull fractured, and the scalp over the Itit side of the head torn in a shockihg manner. The other 'appeared to have bad her neck dislocated. The iniu ries of the other persons were considerable. They were all removed to the Hoipital, and the driver of the cart was taken into custody and lodged in.the watch house, and his horse and shattered cart placed in the Green.... yard.
