The Belendoesa ;weaseled a mole eminsied end py nt

the occasion. It was lighted in excellent style, and several
'preexists crystal traseparescies, lit with gee jets, had a
very pleasing affect. Opposite the princtral esteems was
erected • raised dais ea which were pieced Addy gilt and
upholstered chain for the Prince sad Viceregal party. The
entire suite of rooms set apart to the purposes of the ball
were fitted up and furnished elegantlyasd every
means taken to ensure the oomfort and COSTOSIOOOII of
the pests. So numerous were they, however, that it wee
impossible to avoid crushing at times ; bat, onisideriog that
there were between 1,500 and 2,000 persons present, some
little inconvenience could hardly be &voided. Owing to the
very large number of carriages, and the wiener of the night
which rendered it neesseary that the ladies alseeld alight
beneath** awning in frost of the Maniou.houss, great
delay was created, and in some instances parties were
obliged to sit is their carriages for hours before they
were enabled to alight. In other respects, however,
the ball passed off with the utmost success. At Wi-
ped eleven o'clock his Royal Highness the Primes of
Wales, accompanied by his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
temant, Lady Wodehoase, and suite strived, mooned
by • detachment of the 10th Home" and was
received at the entrance by the Lord Mayor and • cumber
of the mast distinguished guests. His Royal Highness on
alighting was loudly cheered by a large crowd, who
thronged the approaches to the Manske-house, sad was
worded • similar demonstration of welcome by the guests
within, the band playing the National Anthem.
The Lord-Lieutenant wee attended by the following
, suite :—Lord St. Lawrence, Mr. E. R. Wodehouse (pri-
vate secretary), Mr. Arkwright (aidade-esmp in waiting),

Captain Boyle, Captain Howard, Dr. J. Hughes, Dr. J.
Sturm Hughes, Dr. Hatohell, Mr. De CAW (sidede•
°imp), Hon. H. Leeson, sad Mr. Lowry Balfour.
His Royal Highness was conducted by the Lard
Mayor to • seat on the dais, on which the moat
distinguished personages then seated themselves, in.
eluding the Lord Lieutenant, Lady Wodehouse, the Duke of
Cambridge, the Prises of Leiningen, General Sir George
Brown, commander of the fors; the Lard Oheacellor, the
Duke of Leinster, Lord Powencoort, Lord Thafferin, the

Mr. Vance, M.P. ; Right Hon. J. Whiteside, ILP. ; Earl
and Coaster of Charlemost, the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Drogheda, the Marquis and Marchioness of

Rieman opened the ball with Lady Wodshouae, the Lord
Lieutenant having for vis-a-vis the liarehiosess el
Drogheda; the Duke of Cambridge, the Counter cd
Charlemont, and the Lord or, May then Mof
Kildare. The Prince appeared to enter into the pro-
ceedings with spirit, and subsequently danced with the
Countess of Charlemont, the Marchiucem of Drogheda, and
Miss Whitiaide. As efficient string band was in attendance,
Mr. Harry Hardy skilfully wielding the conductor's baton,
and Mr. Daly acting as leader. The following programme
of music was played : Quadrille, " Mirella" (Goosed);
Vales, "Soldaten Lieden ;" Lancers, New; Oslop, "Irish

"Mabel ;" Quadrille, "Stirrup Cup ;" (Salop, "Billy Pat-
Upon." His Royal Highness and the Lord-Lieutenant left
shortly after two o'clock, and proceeded directly to the
Viceregal Lodge. Dancing was maintaisned with spirit till a
late hour in the monies.
A very marked (Wind of dissatisfaction has been excited
against those who assisted in arranging the movements of
the Prince of Wass in his progress from the Park to the
Exhibition on Tuesday. No official announcement was made
of the route he was to take, and it wee only rumour as.
'ivied • certain line of streets through which his Royal
Highness was to pass. Thousands of respectable and in.
fluental persons crowded the principal thoroughfare,
and waited patiently for hours to see and welcome the
heir-apparent to the throne ; numbers had travelled long
distancesfor the same purpose ; and when at length the
cork;e strived, not one in a hundred could catch even a
momentary view through the closed carriage. Had there
been rain, or the immediate fear of it, some moon might
have been assigned for • departure from the usual tale
observed on such occasions ; and even when the Queen was
in mourning, and while the piquancy of grief for the death
of the Duchess of Kent wee still nnallevisted by time, her
Majesty enabled her subjects here to recognise personally
her royal presence. Whoever may have had the ordering
of the details of the progress from the Viceregal Lodge
must have acted in ignorance of the wishes of the general
üblic.

Sego believed believed to be one of the beet they oinkd
y support. Oth of the peculiar ptheeiplaswhir ge-
versed this sorry was that its operations were °Deducted
in secret, and ebb principle was so closely observed, that
he could net otheeive there was say charity in this esentry
that was sFed with room direrion, or that was likely
to do mom Be wished it to be partimalsrly under
stood that &sired, above all thins, to gaud himeeit
opted the idea of * patathisiag " literature. The tire
for adopting snob • 0011Tellwas gone, never to retort. Lite-
rature, as an aaramete power, was quite • thing of modern
date. In thediye -ot Elisabeth Worthen wee quite • dif-
fered thing to what it was sow. At that time it wr re-
presented b • few stets, which would shine in any age and in
thy bet time was then no gresteconesoswedth
or remade° of leases, as there was at the reser period.
It was totally out of the question, therefore, to talk of
pattonthn • power or function of this kind. The days had
goers by when it was a ethemon thingfor a poet to wait °pot
a nobleman with a &dilation in the heed, and holding oat
the other for the reception cif a guinea. Literature was sow
a full parliament, sitting with its hat on, and knowing
perfectly well As own privileges and power; and wee
to the pen= who dared to eocrrch epos them. It was
gratifyfeg to think that literature was now very cheap, and
that it reached down tithe lowest &owes, odeenting them es
it educated people of serrier ratios. He was moreover
happy to be enabled to any that literature tended very
much to justice, and he believed that it was pure. The
dread of criticism which everybody meth or less lived ondert
was not, in his opinion, as unwholesome thing; and as to
the univezeally acknowledged power of the rest It was
proved, amongst other ways, by the =um in which It
freed the pulde from panics and false alarms. Thee
could not be s higher station than that of an
honest and Independent Merry man. Bat after
looking at the bright side of the picture they
must turn to the revere, and consider how often
it happened that men who exerted their brains to
any undue extent lost the power of working, and
being arable to lay by money for the support of those
whom they loved and &reed to cherish, thou widows and
children ford it sacristy to lipped to charity for athst-
art It was absurd to bilk of imprudence and so
forth; the Worry man who worked his brain as he de-
scribed found it Impassible to therein prudence and
forethought At this very moment there were
hundreds and hundreds is this great city who
were waking their brains to very death, for they
sew no means of giving them rest ; and it wen for thole as
thew, and for tires who were their se:vivre, that the Lite-
sury Fund Society exercised its benevolence. The institatier
bad already dose and was still doing such a vial amount of
good, and the elaborate upon it were deserving of sc* moth
parer sysipathy, that h. felt great pleasure and interest
in presiding upon thee ocoessos, sod he heartily commended
the toast to the benevoleot feelings of all present.
The
toast was warmly responded to, and was followed by "
The
Health of the Chairman," proposed by the Marquis of
Clanricarde. Mr. Gosehen thee gave ' The Literature
of Great Britain and the Dose of Westminster." The very
reverend Dean having acknowledged the oompliessat, Mt
Beradord Hope proposed " The Writer on Science and Art,
the Arrowroot -Royal, and Mr. Gabor Scott." The Mot
was responded to by

and that all clams be invited to contributeto it. He was
a sincere advocate of economy in the national expenditure,
