A BILIOUS ATTACK.—" Too much bile in my stomach," as the teakettle said when hanging over a hot fire.—Ameri- can paper. THE EMPRESS ANNE OF RUSSIA.—The Empress Anne sometimes mingled in her practices so much of oddity that it was impossible not to be entertained. Once she decreed that a certain Prince G— should become a hen to punish him for some trifling misdemeanour ; and for this purpose she ordered a large basket, stuffed with straw, and hollowed into a nest, with a quantity of eggs inside, to be placed conspi cuously in one of the principal rooms at court. The prince was condemned, on pain of death, to sit upon this nest, and render himself to the last degree ridiculous, by imitating the cackling of a hen.—Mesnoirs of the Princess Daechkaw. AN IRISH SEARCH FOR CHINA IN AUSTRALIA.—When Governor Philip first commenced the settlement at Sydney, many of the convicts were continually deserting into the woo. At one time forty persons were absent from the settlement on their way to China. These travellers consisted principally of Irish convicts, who were convinced that China was not far distant to the northward, and were always mak ing up parties for the purpose of decamping thither. Most of the wanderers perished of hunger, or were speared, and pro bably eaten, by the natives. An anecdote is told of one who, after traversing the woods, near Sydney, for several weeks, endeavouring to find his way to China, had not only lost his way, but, as is often the case when - the traveller is bewildered in a forest, lost also his senses. As good luck would have it, Pat, almost finishing, reached what he thought a Chinese town. Instinct drew him towards one bark hut in particular, which he cautiously approached, and was most agreeably as tonished to find his wife, whom he hailed with joy, exclaim ing, " Och, Judy, dear, how did you find your way to China?" He had wandered back again to Sydney. SAWN SLATE PAVEMENT.—Experiments have been made to ascertain the applicability of Slate to other uses than the covering of houses. The result has been the discovery that as a material for paving the floors of warehouses, cellars, wash houses, barns, &c. where great strength and durablity are re quired, it is far superior to any other known material. In the extensive warehouses of the London docks it has been used on a large scale. The stones forming several of the old floors, having become broken and decayed, have been replaced with slate two inches thick • and one wooden floor, which otherwise must have been re-laid, has been cased with slate one inch thick, and the whole have been found to answer very completely. The trucks used in removing the heaviest weights are worked with fewer hands.' The slabs being sawn, and cemented closely together as they are laid down, unite so closely together, that the molasses, oil, turpentine, or other commodity which is spilt on the floor, is all saved ; and as slate is non-absorbent, is so easily cleaned, and dries so soon, that a floor upon which sugar in a moist condition has been placed, may be ready for the reception of the most delicate goods in a few hours. Waggons or carts, containing four or five tons of goods, pass over truck-ways of two-inch slate without making the slightest impression. In no one instance has it been found that a floor made of sawn slate has given way ; in point of durability, therefore, it may be considered superior to every other commodity applied to such uses. The consequences of this discovery have been, that full employ ment is found in the quarries which produce the slates, and that additional employment has been given to the British shipping engaged in the coasting trade . —Penny Magazine. - • - ORANGES AND COFFEE. - Of all the new enjoyments of which the knowledge is acquired by a visit to the intertropical regions, those that reach us through a sense which, in the old world, is productive of as many painful as pleasurable emo tions, are in my opinion the most exquisite. Without leaving Europe, a traveller may learn how delightful it is to take his early walk in an orange grove during the season when the trees are in blossom. The garden of the Tuilleries may give him a faint idea of it, just before the ancient denizens of the orangerie have been despoiled of their crop of blossoms, that the distiller may convert them into orange-flower water. But the fragrance of the Tuilleries is as inferior to that of the Moorish gardens of the Algazar at Seville, as these last, with all.tbe care bestowed on them, are excelled by some neglected orange, grove in Cuba or St. Domingo. Nor is the rich fra grance of the orange grove to be compared, for a moment, with the aromatic odours of a coffee plantation, when its hundred thousand trees have just thrown oat their unrivalled display of jessamine-like flowers, reminding you of what you might have read, in eastern fable, of the perfumes of Araby the Blest.—Turnbull's Travels in Cuba. THE HAlR.—Grey hairs, the proverbial attendant upon age, exemplify the operation of the principle of defective nourishment and suppressed secretion. Early and vigorous in their growth, the hairs of the head are generally the first to show symptoms of decay. Great differences may, how ever, be observed in different individuals as to the period when the hair exhibits change of colour, or falls off ; in some it grows gray at thirty years of age, or even earlier ; with others this change does not take place till the less equivocal indications are manifested. Many causes which affect but little the general constitution, accelerate the death of the hair ; more especially the depressing paSsions, corroding anxieties. and intense thought. Fevers are often destructive to the vi tality of the hair, when they do not permanently affect any other part of the body. There is, however, an essential dif ference in the effects of disease and of old age upon the hair, inasmuch as the former seldom destroys the bulbous capsule, from which the hair is formed ; and accordingly, a new crop of hair is often found to spring up, after a certain time, when the syStem recovers its vigour. But the death of hair from age is hopeless and irretrievable, for it implies the destruction of every part of the root as well as the shaft ; and the conse quent separation of the hair is attended with the obliteration • of:the canal which it occupied, and which penetrated the true skin. The loss of colour in hair begins in'the shaft, which first becomes grey, then white, and lastly transparent, giving to it that silvery appearance which is esteemed so venerable a mark of age. Baldness generally commences over the upper parts of the temporal and occipital bones, particularly in the male sex, and thence spreads over the whole upper surface of the head. The hair on other parts of the body suffers corre sponding changes with those of the head, and also falls off partially by age.—Dr. Roget. BRUSI, THE CAPITAL OF BORNEO.—The houses extend on both sides of the river about a mile and a half, in a triple, and often in a multiple row, so that it is not easy to guess at their number with a hope of coming near to the truth. On the south side there. are, perhaps, seven hundred and fifty buildings, which, by assigning ten individuals to each, will make the number of persons there to be seven thousand five hundred. This allowance is not too great for each building, as it is often divided into several apartments, and augmented by appendages for the accommodation of as many families. On the north side there is a row which runs in a corresponding manner about half a mile to the eastward, to which I reckon three hundred houses and three thousand in habitants. But here there is a large devarication of the river, which, after a little distance, branches into several beautiful sources, or ulus as the natives call them. Here there is a large compitum, filled in various places with houses, wnerein the people live in dense crowds, and certainly do not amount to less than five thousond. In the western conti nuation of the houses on the north side, we have at least five thousand more: these several sums, being added together, give twenty-two thousand five hundred, which is under the true number. One of the most striking singularities at Bruni is the floating market, composed of a multitude of canoes, which ply along the lines of buildings, and from one side of the river to the other. In most places the buyer must go to the market • but here the market comes to the buyer, and he realises al the advantage of choice and com petition without stirring a step from his door. The medium of exchange is usually large pieces of bar iron, without any stamp or superscription upon them, every man being at liberty to have a mint under his own roof. NOVEL MODE OF APPLYING LEECHES.—During the mania for leeches which prevailed some years ago in France, a country doctor in Britanny had ordered some to be applied to one of his- patients, suffering from a sore throat. On calling to see the effect of his remedy, the first person he met on entering the house was the peasant's wife. " Well, my good woman " said the doctor, "how is your husband to-day ? better, no doubt ?"—" Oh, yes, surely !"- answered the woman, •` he is as well as ever, and gone to the field."—" I thought so," continued monsieur le doctor, " the leeches have cured him! Wonderful effect they have ! you got the leeches of course? "—" Oh, yes, monsieur le doctor, they did bird a great k e deal th e o m f g a o ll o , d , , ctilimeduguhuhferircnod, ,: whyuld, not how did them take 3.ot all."— ly them ? "—" Oh, I managed r nicely, said the wife, looking . quite contented with herself ; " fOr variety's` sake, .1 boiled one half, ~a b n u od i rtem t ehA l i lo e s uea g ehof in ,7 d , of the other'. ' 'The first he got down . emadeunti continued v sh ery e,wsae s s i e c i l l c ibt.7 . ,s ß om ulw i h io a r t r h o e r very y k sr% el i l would" hdav t e er bh the next in the doctor's countenance ; " for he morning, and to-day he is quite well." the doctor, with a sapient shake of the head,they e have " rO i r t ) , " said would do better applied cured him that is sufficient; but they applied externally." The woman replied she nex t time; and no doubt; if ever fate th rows a score of so unfor tunate leeches into her power again, she will ma k e a poulti. ofthent.—TiteD A B esultory Man. • . RUNT I. La,PLANn.—A .peasant gener a ll y goes out in search earehOf his trail,,and, basing found it, moves in a ring some miles in circumference to make sure of having him within it. He then gradually contracts his circles till he comes to the retreat itself of the animal.

THE LIVERPOOL 6RAND FANCY BALL, April 30th, -1840. This delightful entertainment, which excites many pleasing reminiscences, took place last night, (or rather, is now, while we write, still going on), and did time permit, we might be tempted to expatiate in introducing the subject, and, endea vour to furnish some historical account of " the rise and pro- gress" of an amusement, which, so far as " conquest" is concerned, has, in peaceful life, done more for humanity than ever was achieved by the prowess either of the Greeks or Romans,--who are still held up to us as fathers of " clas- sical" taste and propriety. Suffice it to say that, in England, the Fancy Ball has taken the place of the Masquerade, with which our jolly forefathers were prone to amuse themselves withal, and that, too, for sundry good and substantial rea sons. Where the " mask" was permitted, deceit, cunning, and licentiousness walked within the mazes of the ball-room ; characters of doubtful worth found their way within its pre cincts ; words were uttered by those incognito, or " soft ac cents whispered," which, though perhaps, at first innocently meant, had reference to the private pursuits of men, or the department of women ; the doors of familiarity were thrown open ; the bonds of society received a shock, and even the ruffian or the seducer found scope for the indulgence of his dishonourable and destructive propensities. Modern so ciety has done well to interdict a custom pregnant with so many evils, and substitute for it a species of entertainment of a chaster and more truly English character. Concealment is abhorrent, in guise or in words, to the generous spirit of our country, it is " foreign" to their feelings ; for in general or domestic intercourse, as well as in their courts of law, they like everything to be open and above board. That the change from the masquerade to the fancy or dress ball has been con ducive to the suppression of the evils alluded to, and produc- Lye of a more refined taste amongst the higher classes of so- ciety, there can exist no reasonable doubt. Where all must appear at a public assembly in their own proper v isages, how ever otherwise disguised, there can be no object, but to gratify a natural desire to be elegant or correct in costume, or to gratify others by a momentary assumption of distin guished character. The fancy ball has, however, nobler uses as regards its final results. The people of England are considerate, humane, and charitable beyond the inhabitants of any country in the world. But they have so many drains upon their purses, that unless the objects worthy of their beneficence be actually before them in person, they require some degree of stimulus to rouse them to that liberality which isotherwise spontaneous. The blending of a blameless pub lic amusement, of comparatively trifling cost of admission, with a charible object, is, therefore, peculiarly productive of good, and it leaves behind the most delightful of all remini scences—the consciousness that whilst we have been enjoying ourselves, we have contributed to the health, the happiness, or the relief of our less fortunate fellow creatures. There is in the " fancy ball," as in all other public entertainments, an insepa rable degree of levity scarcely compatible with the stern morals of the philosopher, or the cold and apathetic feelings of the stoic ; but if it bring into friendly and harmonious contact, thou- sands of our " honest men and bonny lasses," it affords s. temporary freedom and delight from the cares of business and the turmoils of life; if, above all, it produces-a fund, cheerfully bestowed, for the relief of the distressed, which would else be denied, or reluctantly bestowed,—then do we say of the " fancy ball"—that light, and in itself unimport ant as it may be,—" vive la bagatelle." Fancy Balls are of comparatively modern date—at least in Liverpool, but with the quickness of perception and mate energy of the inhabitants of this our northern metropolis, we have already become second to no town in the kingdom, in this magnificent and classical production. The first fancy ball, of which we have any remembrance, was aprivatc one, held at the Wellington Rooms, (a handsome subscription establish ment) in Mount Pleasant, the 13th March, 1821. It was given by a number of gentlemen, about thirty in number, bachelors, who had become weary of single blessedness, and not a few of whom found partners not only for the night, but for life: The ball created a good deal of interest in the fashionable world, was exceedingly splendid and well conducted, and may :)e said to have formed the nucleus of and given the tone to future entertainments of a similar description. Such was the popular feeling on the subject that our musical festivals, which occur triennially, for the public charities (com mencing on Monday and terminating on Friday) have, since their commencement, (soon after the period alluded to,) always been wound up by'a like entertainment, which, in deed, has not only been found to give more general satisfac tion than the oratorios of the week—though the most extravagantly expensive vocalists have been engaged—but to be more productive of pecuniary return to the charitable fund. The first of these was, if we remember aright, in October, 1823, and was exceedingly splendid. Each suc ceeding festivo produced its splendid fancy ball—for which the rooms of the Town-Hall were so peculiarly appropriate. That of October, 1821, was exceedingly gorgeous. On that occasion, as on the present, the Exchange Newsroom was united, by a covered passage, with the suit of rooms in the Town-Hall, and was appropriated as a refectory. The num ber of guests assombled we have heard estimated at nearly four thousand ; and never was there a more gorgeous display of taste, fashion, and beauty. This gave the tone to suc ceeding balls of a like kind, and each more splendid than the last. Occasional private fancy balls have taken place in the interim at the Wellington Assembly Rooms. The last was on the of March, in the present year, and was exceed ingly well sustained, both as respected classical taste and correctness of costume, and the deportment of character. But we must proceed to the entertainment immediately before us, and which had for its object the replenish ment of the funds of those admirable, humane, and, amongst such a people, indispensable institutions—the "Infirmary," the respective "Dispensaries," and the "Dis trict Provident Society,"—for the cure and relief of the diseased or injured of the poorer portion of our population. The pecuniary resources of these establishments having be come nearly exhausted by the drains upon them occasioned by a long continuance and heavy depression on the labour market, and the inroads of those diseases which are the con comitants of poverty and privation, —our worthy Mayor, backed by the Corporation, set on foot the present ball, in the hope, which has not been disappointed, that the result would be gratifying to those who attended it,' and beneficial as regards the benevolent object in view. In order that our readers, who were not present on the occasion, may be enabled the better to appreciate the magni tude and elegance of the ball, we supply the following brief account of the rooms in which it was held, and which, taken as a suite, are not surpassed, if, indeed, equalled by any others in the kingdom,—not excluding even the palacial buildings of the metropolis : THE. LIVERPOOL TOWN-HALL This princely structure was founded in 1749. It is of a square form, with four fronts, and immediately behind are the Exchange Buildings, forming three sides of extensive square known as " the Exchange," of which the north front of the Town-hall forms the other. The interior of the building is too well known to require description here ; but it may be stated that, though one of the oldest, as a public structure of magnitude, it is still, as a whole, perhaps the handsomest yet extant. The dome, which rises to a great height from the centre of the pile, and is surmounted by a colossal figure of Britannia, seated and holding a trident, is a striking and beautiful object, by no means eclipsed by the heavier and somewhat similar overtopment of the new Cus tom-house at the other extremity of the same street. The order is Corinthian, of the embellished or florid style, and the architect was the celebrated Sir Christopher Wren. At the principal or south entrance there is a handsome portico, surmounted by .a pediment, and rising the full height of the building. THE GRAND STAIR CASE. This is considered one of the finest in the kingdom. It is covered by the dome, aud is lighted from a large window in the perpendicular portion of that erection. The height from' the floor below to the interior top of the copula is 106 feet. The stairs rise from the Centre below to a half story landing, and thence turn right and left, leaving room for a spacious landing place, and galleries round three parts of the square above, from which doors leiul into the several rooms forming the circuit or suite. Round the interior base of the dome there are a number of frosted gas-lamps. The railings are of a handsome Grecian pattern, topped with burnished brass, and froin the banastres rise eight slender illars bearing , gas . lamps. The . whole is spacious, and reverberates the sound of the musical band stationed at balls in one of the galleries. THE DINING ROOM. These occupy the whole of the south front above, and are three in number. They are on theSe occasions thrown, as it were into one by the removal of lgrgefolding doors. The length of the three is 96 feet. The roofs form &segment of a Circle, divided into small and rich compartments, with ornamental moulding and-castings in relief, gilded on alight' green. The roof of the centre room is what is called pen dentive. The furniture is superb. SofaS are fitted into semicircular recesses, and these as well as the- couches and chairs RrE of 'elegant gteen pattern. ' The tables are of cor'..; responding taste, andrfhe grates and other, articles in "the fire depaitinent!! are rich and curious. The chimney pieces are of pure Parisian marble. Here there - are full lentil 'portraits of several of our late MoriarelA, of the royal dukes, &c. The window curtains are of satin daMask, pending from massy gilded , cornices, From-the centre-of each of the rooms hangs a massy chandelier,'richly orn ame n ted with crystal''The chimney pieces at each end of these kown§fiwe each other, and over each :is ;.a .magnificent mirror, the optical effect of which in enlarging the picture on occasion of a public festivity isadtnl s r m ab A le z THE i, BALL ROOM. This room adjoins the eastern drawing-room, and is •used. on occasions when the May Or's company is not very n • rpus, in place df the large' : or assembly-room. .It is 0 61 9 4, , , rounded at the corners. The walls•,are .decorated nelled pilasters of Carniola, with ornaments in reliel..;The•• roof is coved or arched, and enriched by ornamental sqla'res.:; The mouldings are white,uppn a tint or light ground.. • Th . e: folding-doors• are at : each end, •and on each side of one. of them are two neat orchestras, in recesses, with cockle . 4lell roofs. The chimney-pieces, of white marble, are of neat ,de . - sign. The room is lighted (at night) by three hAndsorneH chandeliers. THE GREAT BALL ROOM. This room, which adjoins the last at a right angle, occupies I the whole'length of the north front of the building. It is 89 feet long, 411 broad, and 40 feet in height. Round the walls, and, as it were, supporting the cornice and roof, there are twenty Corinthian pilasters, of imitation Carniola, beauti fully polished, richly variegated, and topped by capitals of the most flowery and elaborate order. The roof is coved in a gentle segment, and is laid out in ornamented square com partments, with bold and 'chastely gilded mouldings and de corations. The cornicing is also richly gilded. There are three immense chandeliers, formed of an immense quantity of crystal, and having a superb effect. The orchestra is on the centre of the south side, and is recessed, with a light pro jecting balcony. The chimney-pieces are, with the exception of the tops, of pure statuary marble, and..are beautifully cut. The furniture comprises a number of elegant sofas, mounted on platforms, a few inches from the ground, so as to afford the ladies who recline in them a better opportunity to view the dance. The area of the bll-room is so extensive, and its height so great, that the visitor feels a sense of his own comparatively diminutive figure, from the insignificant space he occupies in so large an apartment. What, then, must be his admiration when this room, and all others which com municate continuously with each other all round the build ing by folding doors, are filled with a moving throng of indi viduals, arrayed in the most splendid costumes of every clime, and representing every character celebrated in history or in song. Immediately adjoining there is a refection room, and the visitor thence, passing a staircase, reaches THE DINING ROOM. Here the chief magistrate, from time to time, dispenses to his guests the good things of this lite to his invited guests. The room . is '5O feet in length, 30 in breadth, and 26 in . height. The walls are relieved by twenty polished Corinthian pilasters of imitation .Cornish marble, supporting an elegant cornice, from which springs the roof in a segment of a circle, divided into compartments, with richly guilded mouldings. The furniture is extremely elegant and massy. In two re cesses on the west side are sideboards of antique Grecian design : each of the legs is formed of a caduceus in brass ; and the cornicing is studded with tigers' heads of the same metal. The wine-coolers are of a sarcophagUS shape, with flowered brass ornaments at each corner, terminating above in the neck and head of an eagle. There are. here, in niches, two elaborately chased and plated metal stoves, of a monu mental sbape, and also two large ornamental marble vases all supported on square pedestals, with, open brass-work pannels.. The usual dining table is thirty feet in length, and will accommodate- fifty guests. It is supported on eight large pillar-and-claw feet, which for richness of design may challenge comparison with the finest furniture of royalty itself. The massy plate, candelabra, plateaux, wine coolers, china, &c., here displayed on festive occasions, are all of the 'richest design and workmanship. We have now gone the round of the rooms in the Town hall but as even these, large as they are, were considered inadequate to the accommodation and comfort of 'so large a concourse as were last night present, we must notice another room, which was also brought into requisition on the oc casion : THE . CTIANGE NEWS-ROOM. This spacious - room, the constant resort of our merchants in pursuit of business or in search of news, occupies the whole of the lower story of the east side of the Jxchange Buildings. It has recently been enlarged, some apartments at the north end of the building having been added to it; and, in making this addition, the style of architecture has been preserved. The room is 130 feet 9 inchts in length, including the bar and'sl feet 81'inches in width. The height in middle is 31 feet 4 inches. It contains an area of 6,299 superficial feel andis certainly one of the largest and finest public rooms in Europe. The style of architecture is Grecian. The ceiling, or central portion of the roof, is supported by 20 ,lonic columns, ten on each side ; forming as it were aisles on each side. The shaft of each of these columns is composed of one entire and beautiful stone. A magnificent colonnade is thus formed in the middle of the room, and the whole has a most striking effect when viewed from either end. Between the rows of columns the roof is elevated in a curve or arch seve- • ral feet above the roof of the adjacent sides, and divided into decorative,. compartments, The walls are ornamented with pilasters opposite each column. There .are seven arched windows on the west side, eight on the east, and two of smaller size at the east` end. At the West end is the bar, where all the nautical, and much of the commercial news of the port is regularly posted on large slates, boOks, &c., and where the newspapers, from every town in the kingdom, and every part of the world, are filed and arranged. The centre of the room, from .end to end, is left open as a commercial pro menade. 'The reading tables, of massy mahogany, are ranged along the sides, and amply stocked with the latest commer cial and political new: of the day. At one end is a clock, and at the 'other ena a weather-Clock, or indicator; of clock appearance, of the precise direction of the wind, the handle being moved by communication with a vane on a pole at the top of the building: In the centre there are five chandeliers. This room was last night used as the principal refection or supper-room. The tables were placed in the centre, the sides being left open for the promenade. " A handtamely-fitted and , well-lighted covered-way, or passage, was erected from the back of the Town-hall to one of the entrances of the room, so that the whole might be said to have been thrown into one. The' decorations were beautiful, and the company were by no means chary of their frequent attendance at the sump tuous bolted, which, was loaded withrall , manner of delicacies. The rooms on this. occasion Were but slightly altered from' leir usual appearance ; put the plan adopted of communica tion between the Town-hall and the supper-room was a great improvement, on those olVirmee yeqrs. The passage for the illustrious gitesii was 114' ouncil-chamber; not only added'htf- additional apaitinetit to the general ac'. commodations - ; but.tendered the transitiOntrom one building to the ether muchless abrupt and more interesting. The p4ssage, running. diagonally aqess ; the south-east corner . of the exchange area, was beautifully hung with drapery, and lighted throughout with gas. TILE PREPARATIONS. No entertainment affords a finer scope for the exercise of taste and ingenuity than a fancy ball, whether as regards the aristocratical parties who attend it, or the less wealthy indi viduals, whose presence ,is not the less welcome and bene ficial. For several weeks previously all gave " note of pre paration." Books illustrative of classical or quaint costume were largely and dilligently consulted, and tailors and mil- liners have known. no respite in their several callings for some Weeks. Ancient garmenta were drawn from their reposito ries, where they had long lain neglected, saving by the moths ; and new drapery, of every quality and colour, was liberally purchased,, wherewith to fashion new and striking habiliments. The embroidered vest, and the hooped petticoat, were all put in requisition, and happy were those who lighted upon a veri table dress that had been worn by king or queen, or distin guished robber or grandee. Laces, feathers, trinkets, jewels, tassels, and other gew-gaws, were also in great requisition ; military uniforms were eagerly sought for by some who would hive better beconie the garb of " Bob Acres;" and those who aspired to knighthood gave some employment to gunsmiths, braziers, and tinmen, in furnishing their respective alarming accoutrements. Numerous specula tors from the metropolis, also visited the town with fancy dresses of all descriptions ; and the richest embroidery and ornaments of the gorgeous days of olden times were captivatingly exhibited to the gaze of those who had the ambition to strut the hero or the'debauchee, or the magnate for a night. The, fancy shops provided also abundance of gay and glittering ornaments : ladies at home busily plied their brains and their needles in the concoction and produc tion of what was characteristic, novel, or tasteful,—ard the general result was such adisplay of elegance in costume, and of beauty, both manly and feminine, as has never been sur passed on any former Similar. occasion. • About eight o'clockthe company began to assemble, and the roll of the carriages athe scene of action was loud and •continuous for many hourS: - The rooms towards ten o'clock became crowded with a .brilliant and motley assemblage— " the famed, the fair, of * every age and every clime." It would be impossible to convey an adequate idea of the splen dour and varied interest of the scene, which combined all that was gorgeous with all that was rustic in costume ; all that. was dignified or fearleSs in man ; timid in woman. The music gave an enlivening stimulus to the whole. Some did not at first :recognize their intimate friends in their . assumed attire, and felt as if within-•an enchanted circle. The cha racters, where an approach to " performance" Would be in troduced, were well supported; and all seemed to be highly delighted with the prolonged amusements of the night, which were enhanced by the reflection that the proceeds were to be devoted to charitablebbjeCts; •• THE BALL. The rooms towards ten o'clock presented a very gay and animated appearance, hut the attendance, whether from thd season - inviting•parties td the - Country, or Other causes, was not so numerous as on the lasi occasion of a fancy ball: the assemblage was nevertheless great, and in appearance -most splendid. •' • '• • Mr. Edwiri Althorpe appeared as `Young Lochinv3r,, in a handsoMe dreis: a black velvet jacket richly enibroidered,. with honnetliridpliirnes, and highland plaid to correspOnd: Mr.Williani A4inall shone as an Albanian chief; 'and held delizhtful cOnverse with Miss Harriet Jones, who .ap peared as everitable semblance Of Titania, in white gauzy - array, spangled With silver: Mr: C. 0.• Baylie personated a • Page .. of .Ferdinand an d Isabella of Spain, in a rich Velvet costume embroidered with gold and silver. , Mr: It.

He was dressed in the true old-fashioned costume of the superannuated tar, with a huge pig -tail, and a sprig' of flowers in his breast. This was one of, the. best dressed and best sustained characters in the room. Mr. J. Platt looked well as an Italian Prince. Mr. Chas. Platt was equally characteristic in the Simple but becoming guise of a Sprinishßoatman. Mr. Pitt, of Manchester, appeared as Billy - Waters, in Tom and Jerry„ with a wooden leg r a checked shirt, a rviuid jacket,'itivd - a cocked hat. This was a good personation. Mr. S.

There was in the room an excellent personation of Ras selas, Prince of Abyssinia, in search of happiness, but we did not ascertain his name. 74r. Samuel, of Markcbester, ably sustained the character of a Spanish Smuggler, in a beautiful dress, embroidered in silver. He wore in his belt a brace of pistols inlaid with silver.
