MRS. rOLls CAR EAV'S MASRF.I)
This splendid fete was given on Monday last, in'
New Cavendish-street. The front plrlour of this
lady's elegant mansion was appropriated to danc-
ing, and the back parlour for refreshments. The
ball was opened at twelve o'clock, and continued
with great spirit until four, when the company be-
gan reluetantly to depart. In the circle of cha-
racter, the Pioturr-g,TI, were very numerous, in-
cluding_ Mrs. S. OwEN, Miss KLENE, Miss Cr*.
SiElt, Miss KNIPE, and Miss MAYNLSS ; the ri-
valship in sweets was of course considerable,
but Mrs. Ot%tx seemed to be the favourite

Pomona. Mr. K rrst, as a Drov-r, was very anxious
to make a Smithfield bargain, between a Tull and
Gypsey, in the perms of Mr. .1. Coo: and Mr..
; but the Turk insisting upon the privi-
leges of his nation, the match was defeated. Miss
DVEIEWOATISI Col. Houtas, Mr. J. Bt-ri Ls, and
Mrs. Dv itt were Pi.4rimt, but with very little dispo-
sition for a visit to Loretto. Mr. KING was an
and a very poor one, if we may judge
from his thr:ad-bare coat, but he displayed a rich
vein of wit, and a well-cultivated mind. Miss
131iCii, as an Old Maid, and several Nloll' repre-
smted by Miss CoLvii.c, Miss GAGE, Miss BAKE*,
Mrs. Gooormounit, and several others, flocked

round him, to request a list of his new novels, as if
be had carried about him a circulating library ; but
he was agreeably relieved from their persecution by
the more attra.cii%c powers of the black whisker.; of
Mr. COORS in the charadet of a German Hussar. The
three Wien! Sitters At ci c adniirahly personated by the
Dowager Countess of Et v, Mrs. BoNrov, and ?Miss
MCLEAN ; their appearance was most seasonable,
as it was attended with thunder and lightning. Lady
Lucas made an excellent Mother Sktistaon; we never
saw a mose complete witch. Mrs. Boo vv. au. and Miss
YORKE appeared Haymaiers, but they had no rakes,
which was the more extraordinary, as there were
many in the company. Colonel Bui i.zs made a
good Pantaloon, and Mr. GORDON a very good Old
Woman. Mr. BLAND WaS a Highland Cbief, but he
had no clan with him ; hence some supposed that it
was the new Treasurer of the Navy. Some beautiful
fancy-dresses were sported by Mr. and Mrs. But-
Lts, Mrs. and Miss Mitts, and Miss FOOTE, and
Mrs. 111.111AHON. The two Miss Warts were two
pretty personages of the domestic order of beings,
commonly called Housemaids. Captain Bisuor and
Mr. Dr I. Loa: were in dominos.

MR. GOLDSMID'S BALL AND SUPPER.

This Gentleman's elegant mansion at Roehamp.
ton, was, on Monday night, a scene of splendid fes-
tivity. The house was a blaze of light,'and viewed
om the bottom of the hill on which it is situated,

k appeared like the sun breaking through a cloud,
while the brilliant caariages seemed so many planets
revolving round it as their centre. The Company
amounted* to more than 600, of whom, such as de-
voted themselves to the pleasures of the dance, found
ample room for disr.aying their graceful agility in
two large dining parlours which were prepared for
their accommodation. The sitting parlour, library,
and breakfast room, were laid out for supper in a
very splendid style ; but the apartment of greatest
beauty and attraction was a Turkish marque, creel-.
ed on a level with a dining parlour, and communi-
cating with it through one of the bow.windows. It
contained an oval table for 60. The drawing-
room contained tables for 160. They were beau-
tifully ornamented with flowers and various devices.
Six other rooms opened their splendid doors for the
reception of the rest of the visitors to the number of
300 ; and, at one o'clock, 560 sat down to supper.
A more delicious fiesta was never laid upon a table.
It comprised 190 dishes of pines, melons, straw-
berries, cherries, grapes, apricots, apples, pears,
and plums, all furuislied from Mr. Goldsmiti's own
~rarden, and that of his brother, at Mitcham. The
dresses of the Ladies displayed a great profu-
sion of diamonds, and were uncommonly eleant.
A more splendid scene, whether viewed within or
without, has been seldom witnessed. All the
avenues leading to the house, and the walks
through the lawn, were brilliantly lighted up with
variegated lamps.

FEMALE SCANDAL.
sLIVARDI SPINSTPI, V. WILLIS.
M. PLOXLIt stated, that this vas an aelion
I rousht, not only for the vindication of a young
lady s honour, virtue, and cheraifter, but to recover
damages for an attempt, on the part of the Defend-
ant, to deprive her of one of those tides, by one of
the most wicked calumnies ever uttered. To speak
of the importance of charaeler to an Fnglish Jury
was unnecessary ; they perfes.gly knew how to ap-
preciate it ; but, if charmfter.was important to the
merchant, how much more so was it to a young un-
married female, whose hopes of a respeCtable set-
tlement in life, by means of marriage, depended
upon her preserving an unsullied reputation.
The Plaintiff, in this case, was a young lady,
as beautiful and accomplished as she was virtuous ;
she resided with her uncle, at Alton, in Hampshire,
respacled and admired by all who knew her. It
happened, that a Mr. Rawlins, a clergyman, aurae)
ed by her beauty and manners, courted her, vae,
the honourable view of obtaining her hand in ar-
riage ; she encouraged his addresses, and it N. s ge-
nerally believed, that their union was on the eve of
t.iki.sg place. 'I he match was, however, suddenly
broke off, in consequence of the slander uttered b.
the Defendant, Mrs. Willis. This good lady, win
was a milliner in the town of Alton, perhaps envi-
ous of the good fortune of Miss Seward, informed a
person of the name of Love!, who was the friend of
Mr. Rawlins, that Miss Seward had had a child he
;t gentleman of the name of Pelton, who laid lodged
in her father's house. She added, that she had the
fleet from the nurse, who attended her upon the occa-
sion, and that she had seen Mr. Pelton take inde-
cent liberties and familiarities either in or upon the
bed. Mr. Lo el, of course, communicated this in.
tenigence to his friend, Mr. Rawlins, who immedi-
ately, and very properly, declined fulfilling his pro-
mise of marriage to the lady, in consequence of
which, she had brought this action, to repair the in-
jury she had received by the loss of her marriage.
If Mrs. Willis had any foundation for the slander
she had uttered to the prejudice of this young lady,
she would have an opportunity of stating it to the
Jury. lf, on the contrary, she was ur.able to state
any authority or fad, in justification of the slander,
;he Jury, he trusted, would give suds damages as
would nut only restore the Plaintiff to her former
rank among the virtuous part of society, but punish
the Defendant for the licentious abube of her tongue
at the expence of her neighbours.
It was proved, that this young lady was on the
point of being married ter the Rev. Mr. Rawlins,
even to the purchase of the wedding-dress ; but that
the solemnization of the nuptials was interrupted by
the report circulated by the Defendant. It was
',roved that the Defendant had said, that Miss Sew-
ard had had a child, and that she had been seen in-
dulging the most indecent familiarities with this Mr.
Pelion. It was also proved, that, when this slan-
der had had the die& of breaking off her marriage,
the Defendant had been applied to to give up her
authority. She appeared much confused ; she said
she did not know who the nurse was, and that, if it
was not a nurse who had told her so, it must have
been somebody else.
Mr. Rawlins was examined, and stated, that he
had declined marrying the Plaintiff, in consequence
of the aspersion on her character; but, it appeared,
he wholly disbelieved the report ; that he still con-
tinued his visits, and that it was his intention to
make her his' bride, as soon as her charalter should
have been cleared by the verdift of a Jury.
Several witnesses were examined to Miss Sew-
ard's chareder, and, among the rest, the lady at
whose boarding school she had been brought up ;
they all described her as a young lady of most vir-
tuous inclinations, and they were fully persuaded
that the. report %Vas a calumny, invented by the
Defendant to injure her reputation. (It appeared,
upon the evidence, that the Defendant was a wo-
man in very moderate circumstances.)
The case having been clearly made out on the
part of the Plaintiff,
Mr. LIATOR addressed the Jury for the Defen-
dant. He lamented that the cause should have
been brought before the present tribunal ; he could
not conceive for what season the witnesses had been
brought up to London, at so considerable an ex-
pence, when the cause might have been tried at the
assizes for the county, where the Jury would have
been composed of persons who must have had• bet-
ter means of being acquainted with the charaeler
and conduct of the Plaintiff. He observed, that it
had by no means been clearly made out that the
Plaintiff had sustained any injure whatever ; for it
appeared, upon the evidence of Mr. Rawlins, he to-
tally disbelieved the fad, and had continued his ad-
dresses to the Plaintiff, with a view of making her
his wife as soon as this cause should he over. He
regretted that the Defendant should have given ut-
terance to what, upon the evidence, now appeared
an untruth ; but there could be no doubt she had
heard, from some one whom she could not recol-
lect, that Miss Seward had indulged in these fami-
liarities with Mr. Pelton, which she had ascribed to
her ; that a pledge of love had been the consequence.
It could not possibly be supposed that this lady, the
Defendant, could have invented such a slander, or
have circulated it without having previously been
impressed with a convictions that it had some founda-
tion ; if so, she was the more to be pitied, for hay-
ing herself been imposed upon ; he repeated, that
Miss Seward had, in point of feet, sustained no in-
jury whatever, and that neither her friends, nor her
intended bridegroom, thought the worse of her. It
appeared the Derendan was a woman in very hum-
ble circumstances, and of course incapable of paying
large damages; lie hoped, therefore, that the Jury,
it they should find it necessary to return a verdict
for the Plaintiff; would give such moderate da-
mages as would not have the effect of entirely ruin-
ing the Defendant.
• The LORD Cuter 'hum summed up the whole
of the evidence, observing, that this was a case of
extreme importance to the Plaintiff, and that upon
the result of it depended the happiness of an Amia-
ble young lady, who appeared to tuns to have been
most unjustly calumniated, in the tenderest point
that could affeCt an unmarried woman's feelings.
True it was, she had not by this foul slander lost the
affeections of the gentleman who had courted her
with a view to making her his partner for IA s but

the Defer/J:lDi had done an in her power to of ea a
separation between them, and she had at least sue;
seeded in iielayihg her Yearriage, and placing her
tot a considerable period in a state of anxiety and
distress of mind ; fur k Wit 5 not to be supposed that
a calumny of such a nature could have failed having
its influence apon many persons in the circle of a fe-
male's acquaintance, who *ere oftesi too mttch,dis.
posed to give credit to scandalous insinuations. He
thought the conduel of the Defend:tut highly repre-
hensible, and much argravated by the excuse she
bad made for it ; to had said, that if she had not
heard of the circumstance f‘oin the nurse, she must
have heard of it from somebody else; it was evi-
dent, from this observation, that she had no source
of infiirmation whatever, except what originated in
the invention of her own malignant imagination.
It appeared; 'however, she was a woman in mode.
rate cii cumstances ; he wished it had been other-
wise; if it had been so, he should have kit it his
duty, in'a case of so fiakrant a nature, to have di-
rot the Jury to have kund very ample damages
indeed. As it r as, he could only recommend them
to rive such damages as would operate to the com-
pl2te restoration of the Plaintiff's character, at the
same time proportiatiing them to the Defendant's
situation in life, and her meal,: of discharging them.
The Jury consulted a Env niiattses,- and returned a
verdi& for the Plaintiff—Damages hyty Pounds.
We trv-r SAW a Court crowded vnth such a, levy
of 114anties as upon this occasion. The town of
Alum is proverbial for its handsome girls, and they
,ti vvinel to h:tve made it a point to .assemble to

When the verdiet was given, they shook each other

the Litlnan anxiety and solicitude.

Byre Lord ELDON*

LE•g V. lIRA.Y.
This cause has been tried before, and therefore
we shall be very brief in our account of it. It was
an aetion brought by' the Plaintiff, a gentleman at
Stockwell, to recover damages of the Defendan:
for negligently driving his chai,e against the Plain-
tiff's curricle ; by means of which, his servant, who
was driving him, was thrown out, and himself much
injured, and the curricle broke. It appeared, that
on a very dark night, in November last, the Plain-
ti . servant was driving him in his curricle towards
ocockwell ; they were on the proper side of the road,
and going at the moderate pace of abou: sir miles
an hoar; they had just passed a return chaise from
London, and had.again got into their right trait on
the left side of the 'road, when the Defendant's
chaise, which was on the wrong side of the road,
and coming in a contrary direEt'on, came in contact
with the curricle. The collision frightened the
horses, and they run upon a bank, the Plaintiff's
servant was thrown out, and for a few moments
kept hold of the reins, but was obliged to quit them,
the horses ran away, and the Plaintiff was compelled
to throw himself ow. of the curricle, in order to
avoid personal destralion ; he broke his collar bone,
and was otherwise much bruised. It clearly ap-
peared, that the accident was owing to the darkness
of the night; but as the Defendant was on the
wrong side of the road, the Jury gave a verdia for
the Phun'iff, with Nine Guineas damages, the amount
of the Apothecaries Bill, and the charge for repair-
ing the curricle.
