Upwards of 700 cards had been sent to the principal English, Portuguese, and Armenian families, at or near the Presidency, inviting them to a Masquerade. The following bachelors of Madras are the persons to whom the Settlement It indebted for this magoiticent Free : Lint ,„ aat .cohmei Lkelesant-Calosel Campbell, Lleateseat-Cetret Leitk, 14 1088 aut-Colonel Brace, Ma- Nape Thaearese, Copesia Otto, Captain Mer captaie Halms* Maness. lkett, Tbackeray, Jabs 5i 0 ,, Balfour, Ideendik Oils, Henry Hall, Arip•th. eig, Waite, pule, sad Gebsgem. The company began. to asensable aeon after nine o'clock, and, on approaching the Pantheon, their ululation was in no small degree excited by the splendid appearance of the building ; the whole ex terior of which exhibited one cuntioued blase of The iulldre of the portico iu front were co vered with clotl of blue and orange. and decorated with coloured lamps, placed spirally round thews. lo the centre of the top of the building was a bril- Midterm cros., and the whole appeared as if a palace raised by enchantment.

The ceiling, decorated with orange silk, fringed with silver, was ianst elegantly lighted op. sad the Boor as wu g u ily pontel, exhibiting a drawiog of the Devil eloping e/ith Hymen, and the motto-- "Die* easporte Hytirs. . l The pallor the Theatre usually appropriated to the stage, was formed into as arbour. Thia WAS completely the " Bower e/ Beeches," being cover ed with vines: from the ceding hung innumer able benches of grapes, at once grateful and en- ' uciog. The Theatre was made to resemble a Gothic hall. A transparency covered the gallery. representing Gothic windows; and, when lighted up. had at► effect no less splendid than novel, exhibiting correct taste and great execution. The windows had each a transparency, representing the insignia and orders o f knight baud. In these ithartments, thus elegantly decorated, and to which we have not been able to do any thing like justice, the motley group assembled.— It is nut in our power to give a description of every rharactrr. Such, however, ati caught our attention, either from the excellence of their pirformance, or splendour of their dress, we shall endeavour to bring to the *ails...la:lnce of our readers. A Charity Schoo!•Miateas so Crade4es. by Lady Barlow, is not only deaerving ni particular notice, but rec.•ived peculiar attention. Her Ladyship was dressed in a'black gown, a white apron, with a htb is from, and a black bonnet. Sue was at tended by 111 of her athol.tr., amused in blue gowns. with white aprons and bibs. These were permuted by Miss B irfoit,• Capt. Balmain, Major Thompson, Major Vernon, Mr. Balfour, and Cornet Chase. . .

Mrs. Marray appeared as. a Niadoe Lady, attended by Lieutenant Johnson, rick', au' tired ass Ralllne Tile dress of the former was nil oily correct in costume. but the most splendid that could well be im &gilled, and the profusion of jewels that adorned her person, rove a lustre to they charms of which nature bas been so prolific. Amongst the attempts deserving of peculiar praise was the performonre of Miss Gehagait. as Lady Lofty, She never for a moment lost sight of thecharseterocoldin g to admiration all who offended her, or presumed to dispute her right to the title she had assumed. The port of Lady Bowlful was person ited by Cant tin Gall in the happiest manner. —The mach minuet with Lady Lfty was quite unique, mod called forth the molt deserved plaudits. A group of America* .oar 'es was moat correct- Iv drea.ed, and &dr personated, by Mrs. Ogilvie, Mrs. Nlunt, Mrs. Win. H ire, Mr. Balfour, Capt. Otto. Capt. flay, :mil Lieut. Evans.

As Quakers, weubserved Niro. Orme, Mrs. Neale, Miss Barlow, Mr. Ord. Mr. tVyinix, and Captain Forsteen. Gravity being a eh:tract-aline of persons of this sect, little more is required than to dress the character correctly, which was the case with the Friends present. Spanish dresses were much worn, and were at once costly and elegant. Those moat admired were— Mn. Dent, Mn. Fligginson, Mn Ddrterwnwl, Mrs. Itnrr • ley, Mn. Diorama, Mrs. J. Untlertevud, %Ifs. Irving, Rawl, Mrs. Gronabe, Mrs. J. Junes, and Miss thlibortun. As S'pantsis Getalealen, the most conspiett.ons were Lieut. Power, (who played correctly on the castanets). Mr. %V. Hall, Mr. Sarjeaut and Lieut. As a Spaniard, we also perceived Mr. Roberts. the effect or whose heautiful high culotte, and sym metry of countenance, aided by a little burnt cork, we will not attempt to describe. Many Ladies appeared in fancy dresses ; of these the most conspicuous were worn hy— Mrs. Floyer, Mr. Mortimer's., Mrs. Ricketts, the Honour able Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. Porter, Miss Casssimaijor, sad the Mils A young and very fashionable Lady, by Mr. Babiligtea ; e Yorkshire Lass. by Mr. ‘sioncktott and an Old WOOdN. by Mr. Flower. were well dressed and represtnted.. Of the characters persecuted by Gentlemen, that of Mr. Higgiusem as a Quack Doctor, deserves a conspicuous place. His skill extended to the cure of all dissrders. and his nostrum+, tvi he e:till, were infallible. Mr. W. Mackenzie, as a Phuricill of the sixteenth century, wins a formidable rivet to the empiric, as he defended his dogmas with obAmacy.

Our limits will not allow of our entering into a particelm description of each character. it were injustice, however, not to mention, as deserving of high cominendauoa. the followipg characters:— A Hintioo, by the Hon. 1...

Three were many other characters, of whom our recollection dues not serve, or whom we were unable to recognise. We must mit, however, omit to give • tkocription of the Coati of an Hinds Ramer, personated with the greatest accuracy, by Mr. Ellis. The dotes way extremely costly, and the j-wets he wore of intro-nee valor. Him nu Cone r.—Tbis hit/igloo was not, as er roaeotisly stated. isteuded to represent the Court of the Rojo of Tao**, but the Sabha of the an emia Royer" of lie Caroatic ; deremations and drams tys.re, therefore, in a deffrimst style. and in a purer Ifisirlu taste, than that of the Mabratters, which has ever hero* more or less adulterated by i'ritl"l" of 1bk4 ,114 n4 Persian usaoges. The principal distracters of the Sabha were the Bayer, the Vora R.jeh, or Heir Apparent (Mr. Frayer), whole peewee', oceording to Hind.r om tin" was owner, on all oce..simis of Court cere mony: the Prudhoe's, or Prime.

Mr. Slid d) ; their respective Chamupatis, or Lteuteitants (pother). The space occupied by the Mara was divided front the rest of the rooms by a rail ; the centre was the throne, raised on a 'pedestal of gold, and surmounted I.e the peculiar ensign of regal dignity among the Hindus, die Sams Chhatram, or white umbrella it was encompassed by attendants, bearing Charnarams (those were held by Kith.), Mayoarapitiobtiams, Kitikanipiticharos, Alvattams, &c.; the Munster was seated on the upper step of the Throne ; the Heir Apparent on a ratosP4l seat to the right, sod the Generals and Lieutenants un tile floor, to the right and left ; the Poirohita, agreesdle to former usage,. had also art elevated %est, covered by the skin of a tyger, on the right side of the Court. On the fluor, below the Throne, stood the principal Officers of the Conchukes (Delovets), Charas (Hircarras), the Vaunt Megadhas (Eulu gigs), &e, One of the principal Deloyets was represented by Captaia Ashton, and one of the prin. ctpll Hircarras, by Mr. Howarth. We understand it was intruded to have given to this exhibition a dramatic effect, by representing in succession the busine-s and amusement of a Hindu Court, but front the want of peevinois rehearsal, the coldioed space, and, indeed, the itscompatabilitv of this idea with the general amusements of a Mrs qiierade, where each is himself an actor, and none, consequently, spectators, it Kati necessarily aban doned—musicians, singers, maskers, boiffoons. &c. &c. were introduced, though in no regular plan. Captain Ashton, whom we have mentioned as one of the Chanchnkes or Head Deloyets, was so exact a representation of a Mahratta of this description. that his most intimate acquanstauce could not re cognise him. The Right Hon. Lord Minto honoured the party with his presence, lets Lordship wia not masked. and retired before supper. 1 Mr. Oakes, Mr. and Mrs. Canimaijor, Genera Gowilte, Mrs. Gahagan. Mr. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Mrs. Teesdale • Afr. and Mrs. Churchill, Colonel anti Mrs. Mnort,, Miss driller, and* long list of rank mid fashion were unmasked, partaking of the leptivities of the night. Shortly before supper, the subscribers retieed for • shoo t time, and, nu I he. r re-appearance, were ino.t splendidly dressed in the costume of Maltese Knights —the mantle being ornamented - with a rich star on the breast, with the motto Tosioars pret. The company were now led to the Panda!, which had been erected for the supper, by far the most elegant and splendid building we ever beheld ; eleven tables, with the names of the subszrffiers affixed on boards, prepared the company for the party they wished to join. Every luxury that India or England could produce, covered the tables ; the wines and viands were selected with a taste and judgment, all must •ppiove, and the Royal arms, , supported by star,. with the motto Toitioors pee, which blazoned from the northeru extremity of the Pantheon, was a most happy device. Cowards of four hundred sat down to table, and it war com puted that more than a thousand were at one time in the rooms to partake of this splendid, superior, and elegaut amusement. After supper, the company proceeded to the ball-room, and country-dances were led at by Mrs. Oakes and Mr. B. Conliffe, and continued with great glee until near four o'clock, Ashen the Ladies began to take a reluctant leave of this en chanting entertainment ; which was conducted throughout with hospitality unbounded, splendour unrivalled, and a munificence not to be emulated. The Gentlemen then retorned to the supper table, where good cheer and some excellent songs detained part of the company until eight o'clock on Tuesday morning. All the doors of Birmingham Gaol were lately open for a week—so much for the honour of that great manufacturing city. Sir RD HAIM KEATS prOCeilted on Thursday to Portsmouth, for the purpose of embarking in the Implacable, Capt. G. Cocchi:ow, to take the com mand of the British squadron at Cadiz.

It is very true, as our cntempn caries have stated, that • negociation for that pur pose was some months since commenced ; but we can orature to say, that the discussion between the two Governmeuts has not yet reached that state which can authorise the expectations so confidently expressed of its apec.ly and successful termination. ••• Ths negocialion still continues; end et is much desired, for the sake of humanity, that it may be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Nothing of conciliation, and even concession, as far as it is jus tifiable and consistent with national honour, will, we trims and believe, be wanting on the part of the 'British Government; but before the friends sod relat;ves of the prisoners, and the detained in ri'her cot atry, flatter themselves with assure/lees of the spk:edy release of thin! pers.-mi, they should tell& lect, that it may be doubtfed whether the other party to the aegociation tonne. into it the sane conciliatory temper, the same moderate pretensions, s.r even the same ausions desire for its completion. 1 1 1 , t will, we trust, he Wood to have marked the couduct of the British Government." _ • , LAW INTELLIGENCE.
