TEI 87427 BALL.

The state ball at Buckingham Palace, on Monday,
wee far more numerously attended than the ball given la
Immour of the nuptials of the Prince's Royal, and much more
brilliant. The noble apartments are fully equal to accommo-
date 2,000 guests with ease; but at a state ball all the visitors
crowd round where her Majesty sits or dances, and ore's-
gamily the spacious and magnificent new boll-room was net
large enough, of itself, to accommodate the numbers that
into it. Hee Majesty sat on the hent-fres, with the
pretty, and charming young Queen of Portugal by
Semi were also placed for all the members of the
Royal Family, the Prince of Hohenzollern, end the Primers
MISS of Salt Weimar. The meats of the Queue were marked
on the host-par by a footstool, a distinction which was
omitted with the other members of the royal family. The
royal bride danced frequently during the evening in qua.
dnllce with the Prince Consort, the Duke of Cambridge, and
Prince Edward of fiaze-Weimar. In noticing the arrival of
the Dee de Makskhet, we remesked upon his " agile step
and it is gimlet cesihmedien of the fact that not only did the
Queen of Pareard bat our own gracious sovereign select the
duke as • partner fix a quadrille. The gallant marshal wee

ram be la met with is.. French gallantry. The duke
were the tall medium of a Marshal of France, but paid SI
the meeplimmt of illeplaylag the Ribbon of • Dread Cross
of the Order et the Batik Militant any other decoration.
The phew of ear Qum sad the Queen of Portugal, at the
sapper, were opposite to that famous work of art in the
pecker metals, " Hones at the Fountain," and imme-
diately on their Majesties' approach, the fountain cos.
mewed playing and throwing off the grateful odours of eau-
de-Cologne. The shield presented by the King of Prussia to
the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Wales's epergne. and the
South American salver were also displayed on • buffetitaced
opposite to the seats of the two Queens. Althea the
Queen of Portugal had • long days travel before er on
Tuesday, she remained with the Queen in the ball room till
two o'clock, dancing with the Due de Malakhoff immediately
after supper. The dancing continued with unabated vigour
until the Queen left the ball, and by ten minutes past three
o'clock the last of the guests bad departed from the palace.
