also was lower at the end of the week, the price

information received confirms the previous intel-

must still farther decline.

LORD GRANVILLE% STATE BALL.
MOSCOW, Sen. 25.
Knowing that your regular correspondent has
left Moscow, it has mined to me that your readers
would be glad to learn some particulars of Lord
Granville's state ball, which may justly be pro'
flounced one of the crowning fêtes of the whole cern.
menial. It is already known that through the pre-
vious exertions of Sir John Acton, his lordship'.
nephew and secretary, the British Embassy was the
best lodged of all the distinguished strangers, in the
magnificent palace of Prince Oraziani, an Italian
nobleman, who I believe consulted more his taste
than his finances in fitting it with costly furniture
and articles of art& The magnificent suite of
rooms had been newly decorated for the present
occasion, and a new dancing room extemporised, in
the shape of a pavilion of regal dimensions, erected
by our old friend Ben Edgiogton, of London-bridge.
The rooms, although smell an comparison with the
vast saloons of the Kremlin Paler*, are
still of handsome proportions, and when decorated
in warm glowing colours and well lighted—nothing
like plenty ot light—have a truly splendid appear-
ance. It is hardly necessary to ay that last
evening they put on their beet aspect, when, set out
in grand parade, and filled with everything that
was noble, distiaguished, or well-dressed in
Russia. The imperial party was, of course,
received at the principal entrance by the noble
host, and conducted to the throne, or rather seat,
which had been prepared for his Imperial Majesty's
reception. Every man was in uniform. and every
woman in plumes and diamonds; the finest music
filled every settle, and the walls exhibited a perfect
galaxy of wax-lights. Yoe may, therefore, imagine
what must have been the effect of the picture, when,
at a signal from the imperial guest, the ball com-
menced. The Czar danced often and well, honour-
ing in succession Lady Granville and Lady Emily
Peel by selecting them for his partners. The sup-
per was laid in the poroelain.room, the scene ot
hour friend M'Allister'e exploits; but for the Emperor
imself a magnificent repast was spread in one of the
saloons that fill up the long front of the building.
To this room none but the most select of the guests
found admission. Ia order that his Imperial Majesty
might not be incommoded, the invitations were under
eight hundred; but so greet was the anxiety
of the Russian noblesse to "assist" at Lady Gran.
villa's ball, that it is thought his lordship will be
obliged to have an encore, at which, I believe, his
Imperial Majesty will also be present. Nothing could
exceed the gracious friendliness and condescension ot
the Emperor's deportment. Ifs chatted freely and fre-
quently with his distinguished host, and danced very
often ; in short, threw himself with complete abandon
into the spirit of the evening's entertainment.

THE IMPERIAL VISIT TO LOMBARDY.

To get op the requisite amount of loyal demonstra-
tion for the Emperor of Austria's visit to his Lombard
dominion', a long letter of instructions has been
addressed by M. Anelli, delegate governor of the
province of Como, to his subordinates, the district
commissaries, desiring them to exert all their in-
fluence to induce the municipalities and communal
deputies to make a great show of zeal, and prepare
an enthusiastic welcome for Francis Joseph and his
consort, who are expected about the end of November
or the beginning of Member. HT. Anolli prescribes
the erection of triumphal arches along the Emperor's
route, the stationing of bands of music at the entrance
to all the towns and villages, the illumination of
conspicuous buildings, and the attendance of the
podestas or mayors, the municipal congregations,
the communal councils or depleies, headed, of
course, by the commissary of each district
or by his adjutant, to welcome the imperial visi-
tors at appointed places; and he also directs that
the government officials, the clergy, the nobles of the
province, the different corporations ;and public insti-
tutions, and the principal trades, shill send represen-
tatives of their respective orders to greet the
Emperor at the gate of every palace in which he
proposes to sojourn. These specifications are worth
noticing at the present moment, as they will inform
us what we are to expect from the spontaneous
loyalty of the Lombards when the Emperor arrives.
M. Anelli orders each commissary to convene a special
meeting of the communal deputies, and propose to
them some means of providing for these festivities.
He is anxious that the commissaries should, as early
as possible, inform him of the result of these endea-
vours; and he signific ntly remarks, "I need not
remind you that, where the royal commissary knows
well how to prepare and direct the communal assem-
blies, the deliberations of the latter have always a
sa'isfactory result."
