THE ACADEMY FILLED.

The Academy, at ten o'clock, was filled, and those who
arrived later sank unregarded into the throng, like rain
I drops into the ocean. The private boxes were full ; the
tiers were occupied by those who preferred to overlook
the brilliant assemblage which moved restlessly beneath.
The Japanese hall was crowded ; but there the crowd was
divided into sections by the various rooms, but here in
one vast area was collected the elite of New York society.
Beneath the thousands of gaslights the crowd surged
backwards and forwards, shifting and changing like the
figures in a kaleidoscope, or like the ocean rippling be-
neath gentle winds and bright sunshine. A throng, a
crowd, mobile, vzriable, versatile, fickle, quick, changing.
A sea of heads, but btsidts• a sea of colours, the light
flashing back from the gayest and richest of dresses,
from pearly white shoulders and brilliant complexions,
from jewels iris-hued and rivalling in brightness the
eyes which flashed above them. The fall dress black
coats absorbed the superfluous light and softened the
blaze of the thousand lamps. The rich military uni-
forms, ornamented with gold lace and epaulettes, relieved
the uniformity of the gentlemen's toilettes. The throng
seemed to diminish the size of the house, and yet, by a
common, but singular paradox, aided one to appreciate
its greatAtxtent. Filled, but not jammed ; crowded, but
with plenty of room for all to move comfortably and
without disturbance—for separate entrances were re-
served for egress and ingress—the Academy was ready
for the arrilal of the Prince.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE

was greeted with load and uproarious applause. His
Royal Highness entered by the private door on Four-
teenth-street, and the' people, who seemed to have heard
that he was coming that way, gave him some very
hearty and enthusiastic cheers. He arrived at about
a quarter past ten o'clock, and was accompanied by
several distinguished gentlemen of his own suite, and of
the city of New York. The arrival was attended with
no display whatever, and it could scarcely be said whether
the royal guest or any other had come up.
ENTRANCE OF THE PRINCE.

A shouTeaside, followed-by repeated cheers, an-
nounced the arrival of the Prince, and almost instantly
the royal party, dressed in full evening costume, entered
the room by a side door. There was no cheering, but a
simultaneous motion of the crowd evinced the anxiety
of the company to see their distinguished guests. There
was no rush forward. A few ladies stepped gracefully
upon the chairs near them to overlook the throng, but
the rest of the company retained their positions with
well-bred composure, the spectators in the upper tiers
rising, not from curiosity, but in honour of the Prince.
The royal party remained standing before the sofas at
the extremity of the stage, beneath the pavilion ; and as
soon as they had taken their positions, the bands struek
up the stately anthem, "God Save the Queen," following
it by the more triumphant strains of "Hail Columbia.'
There was no formal reception of the Prince.
A WARNING AND A CRASH.
While the royal party were observing the throng and
the decorations of the room, a sudden rustle and move-
ment of the crowd backwards announced that some acci-
dent was about to happen, and in a moment after one
of the flower vases upon the front tier fell with a great
crash to the floor, scattering its roses upon the people
standing by, but fortunately injuring no one. There
vas a moment's confusion, and then the company, pru-
dently returning from the neighbourhood of the vases,
remained silent, while the committee presented the
Prince with an order of dancing.
Scarcely had the Prince taken his card when another
flower vase fell, and the moment afterwards a portion of
the dancing floor gave way with ,a great crash, fortu-
nately injuring no one, however. As the crowd retired,
frightened, to various parts of the floor, it gave way
beneath them. - This was three times repeated, two per-
sons being precipitated to the stage beneath, but not
being injured. The floor rather sank than fell, the
props beneath it being insufficient to sustain the weight
of the throng. The gentlemen of the committee gene-
rally, of the sub-committee of the house and decorations
particularly, must divide the blame of this contretemps
with the carpenters, who should have understood and
completed their work much better.
For some moments the greatest confusion ensued ;
li
many determined to leave, and a rush was made for the
door, but the real nature of the accident being dis-
covered, the company resumed its coluposare. The
promenade and the music diverted the attention of the
company, who were kept off the dancing floor ac Much
as possible ; the police instantly surrounded the
opening with a rope, which they guarded so that no one
should pass. A.s far as we could ascertain, those who
left in the first fright and confusion either returned
or stopped at the door ; and gradually recovering their
good humour, the company seemed to remembr the
proverb, wittily quoted by one of the' .fairest ladies
present—
" A bad beginning has a good ending,"

and that Shaksperean adage retorted by a rival wit and
beauty—

"All's well that ends well."

And so passed the time during which the repairs were
progressing, in conversation, promenading, and flirta-
tions, and patiently awaited the time when dancing
should begin. Only the patience and good humour, of
the company prevented this accident causing this grand
ball, so anxiously expected,, and so splendidly prepared,
from being a complete fiasco: • '
Half an hour at supper, and the Prince and party
returns to the ball-room. Fully two hours elapse, how-
ever, before the repairs are. complete, and then the
Prince, being introduced, leads upon the floor Mm'. G.
Morgan, as his,partner for the first dance. The arrange-
ment of the quadrille was as follows :—The Prince
and Mrs. Gov.- Morgan ; Mr. J. W. Gerard and Mrs.
Howland ; Mr. W. Langdon and Mrs. J. J. Astor, jun. ;
Mr. Shermerhorn and Mrs. Belmont. Mrs. Morgan's
dress was of white reps silk, nearly covered
by black Chantilly lace flounces. Headdress, with
feathers and diamonds. Oinnments, pearl and diamonds.
Mrs. J. $":- ASter ;ivore a white corded silk, trimmed ;
ancien ppint d'Angleterre ; ornaments, diamonds. Mrs.
Belmont's dress . was of rose-coloured tulle, trim with
blossoms 'of sweet peas; ornaments, diamonds. The
second dance—a waltz—is with Miss Mason. The
third—Lancers—is with Mrs. Gould Hoyt, second
daughter of General Scott, as the Prince's partner.
Mrs. Hoyt is dresSed in pink silk, with a tull dress,
trimmed with flowers of Honiton lace ; headdress, pink
wreath. Mrs. G. T. Strong's dress is pink silk, trimmed
with black Chantilly lace flounces; headdress, pink
wreath. Vis-a-vis to the Prince is Miss Rose, of New
Orleans, dressed in white and blue.
Owing to the intense crowd around the royal quadrille
party it is impossible to see and describe the dresses of
his fair partners, and we, thcirefore, only give their
names, as follows :—Miss Fish, of New York ; Miss
Ellen Russell, -of New York; Miss Augusta Jay, Mrs.
Belmont, Mrs. Edward Cooper, Mrs. Kernochan, Mrs.
M. B. Field, Miss Van Buren, and Miss Butler. The
dress of Miss Helen Russell was lame muslin,
with a crown of flowers. Miss Field, daughter of D.
b. Field, Esq., wore a dress of whine tulle, trimmed
with blue flowers ; headdress and wreath • to match.
Her vis-a-vis was Miss Elliot,. whose dress was of blue
silk. Miss Belden danced in the same quadrille. Her
dress was of white tulle, trimmed with rose di chene
ruches, wreath of deep coloured roses and gold" stones
around her head.

THE LADIES' DRESSES.
The Reporter says :--,"Of their dresses, it is almost
impossible to give a general idea, but they are distin-
guished by a splendour that can only be rivalled by the
glories of fairy land. The first effect upon the senses is
indeed so dazzling as to render it impossible to separate
any distinct or individual effects. Flowers reposing in
folds of fleecy lace, lace rising and falling in foam-like
waves, jewels paling before the fire of bright eyes, or
flashing back radiantly from velvet back grounds; gold
and silver glistening in the .transparent tarlatan fabrics
so thickly embroidered with the same precious substance
that they look like cloth of gold ; silver brocade, fair and
shining, looking kindly on the stiff and stately moire ;
flowers, ribbons, jewels, fans, feathers, and the odour of
,a: thousand parterres, all mingling with the lights, the
music, and the graceful moving throng."

COTTON.
(From TV. P. Irright 4 Co.'s Circular.)
NEW Yoxc, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 1860.
We have had an active warket in this city during the
pa,l;,week, chiefly on speculotion, caused by reports of
injury by the late storm, bean' rains, and more recent
cool weatialr in the South. Prima are fully maintained,
and in some ewes the prices ore rather higher. The sales
for the week have been 14,000 &Ales, closing firmly at
the annexed quotations. The deem :aces have been—for
Liverpool, 2,369 bales ; Glasgow, 16.1; Havre, 2,940 ;
Antwerp, 472 ; Hamburg, 150. Totai" 6,092.
Transit cotton has been more sough.t after, and the
sales have amounted to 8,000 hales. Tihe prices have
been on the, basis of 101-c fer Low Midd.ling, Ilc for
Middling, and 11-le for Strict Middling Otleans, with
freights at 0. Mobile cotton in transit is slowCr of sale,
at about to ,Ze below these figures for similar grades.
No sample of Upland cotton yet received. We lo,ek for
an active business;in transit cotton if proper eare,is
with samples.
By telegraph for a week later we hear that moderate
sales have been made at full in the Southern markets, and
in some cases slightly higher, prices. The business
would have been larger but that negotiations, except of
the better class, are difficult : hence many buyers are
reluctantly compelled to keep quiet.
Quality does not improve very much with later re-
ceipts ; sand and dust is general; but the greatest defi-
ciency in this crop, so far, is the poor staple and light
body of the cotton, evidently the effect of a too rapid
forcing to maturity, and want of sufficient moisture.
Good, heavy bodied, well stapled cotton is, and must
continue to be, scarce, and worth more relatively this
year than usual.

THE WAY THE RADICALS DO It —On Friday last
H. W. West, Esq., revised the South Lancashire
Register for the Rochdale polling district. On reaching
the objection list for Wuerdle and Wardle, Mr. Bremner
called his Honour's attention to the fact that they had
now a different objector for the Liberals. In the
objections hitherto Mr. Brumfit had signed, and by a
previous decision that gentleman's objections had
been declared invalid. Now, however, the objections
were signed by James Taylor, of 86, York-street, and
he wished to ask Mr. Brumfit to prove the service
of the objection. Mr. Brumfit remarked that he knew
nothing about it. Mr. Bremner :He is represented
being on the register for the parish of Bury. He is not
so ; he is on the register for Heap township. His
Honour having called in vain for James Taylor, said—
If this is the way objections are to be carried on in the
southern division of Lancashire, it is time that an end
was put to it. Here is a large number of people
brought here from their occupations and their duties,
and the objections are so frivolous that the very person
who makes them dare not come -forward to say a word
in support of them. After some conversation, bin
Honour decided to hear on oath those who had been
6bjected to by Mr. Taylor, and consider by the next
aften-noon about the costs, Mr. Johnson being requested
to get the best possible proof of Taylor's writing.
