A BILIOUS ArrAcx.—" Too much bile in my stomach," as the teakettle said when hanging over a hot fire.—Anieri- can paper. THE EMPRESS ANNE OF RIJSSIA.—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.—Memoirs of the Princess Daechkaw. AN IRISH SEARCH FOR CHINA IN AIISTRALIA.—When Governor Philip first commenced the settlement at Sydney, many of the convicts were continually deserting into the woods. 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 beidg 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. _r • • a/ 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 arc 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 Alcazar at Seville, as these last, with all the care bestowed on them, are excelled by some neglected orange grove in Cuba or St. Domingo. Nor fs 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 out 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 ofevery 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. BRUNT, THE CAPITAL OF BOIINEO.—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 n/us as the natives call them. Here there is a large compilum, filled in various places with houses, wherein 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 all 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, morksieur le doctor, they did him a great deal of good, though he could not take them all." — "Take them all," cried our friend, " why how did you apply them ?"—" Oh, I managed nicely," said the wife, looking quite cont e bnu n udi t tt e em d t ehan % e v do i es t u l e k ageh l of : r: e ly r d, s o e , nci l .o f atnid ; iteei n ' uti f hem o de r r v. v e a r r i e sls t ee y ieci ' fikn s ra.s s t a sßh k o e e mu , tgelewthbdaoeti horror lwheade otvoenoreykhiryialaefli,l well, in the doctor's countenance ; " f or he she, wasbetter the next morning, and to-day he i s qu i te well." " Uinph ! " said shake hat ot they e t y h w e head, oald ia`v` have been e t e h n e they better have ci e n t ; the cured do himc vr , t h w a i t t with s a sapient ah applied externally." The woman replied she would do so next time; and no doubt, if ever fate throws _a score of unfor tunate leeches into her power again, she will make a poultice MPaLanA;lDl.;:vAingpefaosuainidt it,generally mores goes in a o f them.—TheDesultory his N trail, i4 ring some miles in circumference to make sure of having him within it. He then gradually contracts his circles till he out in inßEsAeanrcHhuoNf HUNT comes to the retreat itself of the animal. Weeks are some times expended i n this search ; the peasantry are then sum moned or governor of the n of the jagtmoe s t are , s them, and command s province, aand skall, a putl d l , i s b ta y rni c t d h te, e r it l hi a l o n e d i nd s hai directs or ranger of the their movements, The peasants are generaily formed into circles, and come armed w - ith whatever weapons they can procure. Though opposed singly to a whole host, the bear often spreads havoc among his assailants. Every ball that enters his huge carcase but adds fire to his fury, and woe to the individual whom his wrath has sin g led out. It ceases to be a mere pastime, and nothing but the greatest self possession can save him from a miserable death. While at Hernosand, I saw a representation of an event that took place at a skall in the neighbourhood e , q in 3 and which shows th a t b ear h un ti ng mus t be quite al in ex c it ement an d per il. Th e b ear on this occasion was very large ; nothing like an American bear, with which an I ndian u 18 to tiger l hunting can grapple, but an enormous beast, able to carry off a pony under his arm. His temper, probably never very good, had been ruffled by ten shots lodged in different parts of his body , all present entrenched themselves, and awaited some despe rate effort on his part, should not a lucky shot through the head bolder speedilythangive his companions, im hi s q advancingietus At . before this moment, them,ome t a the , man, bear rushed upon him, tore the gun from his hands, and began to wound him with his tremendous claws. The wretched man was unable to contend with his muscular anta g onist • already his wounds were letting out his life, wh en young Norr 'ander, unable to look quietly on, rushed to •his assistance. Besides the danger, which he himself incurred, and which, of bear without striking the man . As he advanced, cou rse, he had no feeling of, there was some diffi cu lt y i n the b shooting ear th ro e se on Hs hind legs to m ee t hi s new opponent; his victim dropped before him ; the N orrlander seized the favourable opportunity , raised his g un w ith both arms high above his head, to bring it in horizontal position on a level with the bear's head, and, trusting to feeling more than sight, discharged his piece. An immediate death wound could alone sage either from their enemy. The success which the brave man deserved, attended him, and the ball Passed through the brain of the bear, which fell dead on the reecucd man.—Dillon's Winter in Lapland, &C. THE , LIVERPOOL ‘•,-• GRAND FANCY BILL, 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 " tbe 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 arid 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. tive 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 visages, 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 tesults. 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 charitable object, is, therefore, peculiarly productive of good, and it leaves behind the most delightful of all rernini cences—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 a 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 inate 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 a private one, held at the Wellington Rooms, (ahandsome 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) havd, 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 festival produced its splendid fancy ball—for which the rooms of the Town-Hall were so peculiarly appropriate. That of October, 1827, 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 wp 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 conie 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, and 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 10G 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, andgalleries round three parts of the square above, from which doors lead 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 from the bauastres rise eight slender pillars 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. Theie 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 large folding doors. The length of the three is 96 feet. The roofs form a segment of a circle, divided into small and rich compartments, with ornamental mouldings and castings in relief, gilded on a light 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 are of elegant green pattern. The tables are of cor responding taste, and the grates and other articles in " the fire department" are rich and curious. The chimney pieces are of pure Parisian marble. Here there arc full length portraits of several of our late monarchs, 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 ornamented with crystal. The chimney pieces at each end of these rooms face each other, and over each is a magnificent mirror, the optical effect of which in enlarging the picture on occasion of a public festivity is admirable. THE SMALL BALL ROOM. This room adjoins the eastern drawing-room, and is used on occasions when the Mayor's company is not very nume rous, in place of the larger or assembly-room. It is oblong, rounded at the corners. The walls are decorated with pan nelled pilasters of Carniola, with ornaments in relief. The roof is coved or arched, and enriched by ornamental squares. The mouldings are white, upon a tint or light ground. The folding-doors are at each end, and on each side of one of them are two neat orchestras, in recesses, with cockle-shell roofs. The chimney-pieces, of white marble, are of neat de-. sign. The room is lighted (at night) by three handsome chandelias. TUN BALL ROOM, This room, which adjoins tho last at a right angle, oacuples I the whole length of the north front of the building. It is 89 feet long, 41 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 ball-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 life to his invited guests. The room is 50 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 shape, 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 ji:XCIIANGE NEWS-ROOM. This spacious room, the constant resort of our merchants in pursuit orbusiness or in search of news, occupies the whole of the lower story of the east side of the Exchange 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 inches in length, including the bar ; and 51 feet 8 inches in width. The height in middle is 31 feet 4 inches. It contains an area of 6,299 superficial feet, and is 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 fart 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 conimer- cial and 'political. news of the day. At one erid is ii clock, and at the other end 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 handsomely-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 decoratiaqs were beautiful, and the company were by no means chary of their frequent attendance at the sump ' tuous board, which was loaded with all manner of delicacies. The rooms on this occasion were but slightly altered from their usual appearance ; but the plan adopted of communica tion between the Town=hall and the .tipildr-room was a great imprciverpent..on thoSeAAformer.yeat'S - The pagsage'for the illustri4guests was through.'the .Council:chaMber, which not . only added an additiqiial apartment t 9, the general ac-: cormitodations, but rendered the trausitio,afrora one building to the other much less Arlipt apdpp i ye ,The passage. running dizigona* across die south-east cqrner of the exchange area, b&iutifully hung with drapery, and lighted throughout with gas; • TILE PREPARATION. No entertainment affords a liner 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 rave " 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 garments 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 have better become 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,—and the general result was such a display 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'clock the company began to assemble, and the roll of the carriages to the 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 dia.. 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 charitable objects. THE BALL. The rooms towards ten o'clock presented it very gay and animated appearance, but the attendance, whether from the season inviting parties to the country, or other causes, was not so numerous as on the last occasion of a fancy ball : the assemblage was nevertheless great, and in appearance most splendid. • Mr. Edwin Althorpe appeared as "Young Lochinvar," in a handsome dress : a black velvet jacket richly embroidered, with bonnet and plumes, and highland plaid to correspond. Mr. William Aspinall shone as an Albanian chief; and held delightful converse with Miss Harriet Jones, who ap peared as a veritable semblance of Titania, in white gauzy array, spangled with silver. Mr. C. 0. Baylie personated a Page of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, in a rich velvet costume embroidered with gold and silver. Mr. R. H. Dawson personated a German Forester in a beautiful dress, and sustained the character admirably throughout. Mr. Charles M`Call appeared as an Italian Bandit, in a beautiful green velvet tunic, richly embroidered with gold. Mr. Theophilus Smith, of Mount Vernon, a gentleman of commanding stature, personated a Greenwich Pensioner of 1720. 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 Spanish Boatman. .Mr. Pitt, o f M anc h ester , appeare d as Billy Waters, in Tom and Jerry, with a wooden leg, a checked shirt, a round jacket, and a cocked hat. This was a good personation. „, I VY- S. T. Win s t an l e y appeare d as a genu i n e Knight of Diana. He wore a black cloak, with a white cross on the left. shoulder. His under dress was white, with Maltese crosses in g o ld stu d s. The cap was of velvet, with jewels ' on the band, and .a plume of feathers. Mr. J. M. \Val thew, as " R unj ee t Sing , " the Afghaun, sustained his chara c t er w i t h admirable effect. He was array ed in a splendid purple velvet tunic, edged with ermine. lilr.

Mr. Lewin Y. Coleman, as a Grecian Nobleman, splen didly attired. Mr. Frederick Pooley, as Murat, King of Naples, in the precise slate-coloured and silver-embroidered dress, with a cap surmounted by a plume of orange feathers, Mr. Braithwaite Toole, as a Greenwich Pensioner, with a face exhibiting honourable scars. Like the old soldier al luded to by Goldsmith, he " shouldered his crutch, and showed how fields were won." 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, Mr. Samuel, of Manchester, 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.
