COMPANY AT BADEN BADRN.—The hotels are so
full that china closets have been converted into charabres d
toucher. The tables d'hlle are as crowded as those of the
Margate steamers in the "husband's boat." Cabinets for
private parties are out of the question, unless bespoke •
week beforehand, and it requires a considerable amount of
stratagem to secure • table under • tree in front of this
charming hotel, which is as prettily situated as the Castle
at Richmond. The salons are crowded, but Garcia, the
hero of last year, is ao absentee, and I bear has ' lost all his
form," as he is merely playing florin. at Homburg. Gene-
rally speaking the play has been mild, and I believe there
have been none of those sensation scenes which are
especially got up for the benefit of our country cousins who
might be tempted to flirt with a few Napoleon. at either
rouge et noir or roulette. The lions of the place are not
numerous, but Paris has contributed her quota of journalists,
including Emile Ginsrdin with his beautiful wife, and MM.
Ashard and Claudio of Les Debate. The Valais Royal and
Okra Coenique are well represented with actresses. Vienna
has sent her masters of the horse and her alanscuses, sod
Berlin her Jockey Club and leading musicians. Our Ame-
rican cousins have not been kept away by the President or
Stonewall Jackson; and, judging from the elegant nature
of their toilettes, they are not likely to make those sacri
furs for their country which the Boman matrons were wont
to do in ancient times. With the Russians, Baden is Aiwa,*
• very favourite spot; and the Ladies' Club which they have
instituted is now placed on as permanent a foundation as
either Brookes 's or White's. In the meanwhile the belles
of St. Petersburg, with their olive complexions, citron
coloured dresses, piquant hats, and charming tournoure, as
they group together on the promenade, or in the saloons,
add immeusely to the varied nature of the scene, which is
not a little heightened by accessories of nature, in the
shape of trees and flowering shrubs. There are no balls so
recherche as those given by the Russians, and the spirit
they infuse into them makes one doubt if they oars •
single rouble about the emancipation of the serfs. Among
our own countrymen are—Lord and Lady Cardigan, Lord
! Listowel, the Marquis of Douglas, Lord Charles Hamilton,
the Hon. George kitzwilliam, Colonel Gipps, Col. Astley,
I Mr. Hey, llr. 3 B. Angell, lir. Knox, Stc.—" Argus" of
the Port. . .

EXTRAORDINARY FRACAR.—An event is reported
to have occurred lately which is making no smaU sematiou
in the Highlands, within a hundred miles of the new line of
railway from Perth to Inverness. One of those festive
gatherings such as are common at this mason of the year,
and which are alike attended and enjoyed by the aristocracy
and democracy of a country aide, bad passed off with great
spirit, and was very appropriately wound up with a ball.
At this ball—as the phrase is—all the besot) and fashion of
the district might be seen, and it was especially graced by
the presence of • noble marquis, the heir to • still nobler
title, as well as • vast estate. There was also present
a worthy baronet, who, as the evening wore on, proceeded
to escort his lady from the ball-room to her carnage. The
mange was somew hat crowded, and in the crowd was the
noble marquis. The hon. baronet finding egress difficult
requested the crowd to make way for his lady, which it is
saulther all promptly did, with the exception of his future
grace, who blocking up the passage, the baronet pushed him
aside, for which he was repaid by •volley of abusive epithets,
altogether unlit to be heard by ears polite, or printed io the
columns of • respectable paper. Sir 0— paid no attention at
the moment to the abuse with which be was thus assailed,
but having seen his lady to her c•rriege, returned and asked
the marquis what he meant by such language. Being
treated in reply to • repetition of the same style of abuse,
Sir G— at once gave it to bins " right and left," com-
pletely Owning the scion of a noble house, and iuforming
him that he would be read to meet him anywhere else,
and answer for what be bad dens. It is said that the
duchess is much grieved at the affair, not that the marquis
was punished, but that he should so far have forgotten the
bearing of • gentleman, while the duke says " it served him
right, and will, perhaps, teach him better manners."—
