AND THE IRISH CHARITY BALL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

tin—A statement has been circulated by Mr. Belzoni, and
'has appeared in several Papers, concerniaglbis arrest at the
Opera Horse on Thursday evening; in tins Mr. Belzoni
states that the ticket which otessitord this disagreeable cir-
cumstance was poiehaseil room Mr. nen. Tido is main.
Flatly correct; but it was I believe uaknowa to Mr. Belzur.i
that I was the immediate seller of the ticket to his friend,
loving pwrishosed it for that porpoise (rum Mr Elora; this has
been taken advantage of to throw ea me the impotatiou of
lonia' procured it from the person who must ►ave come by
It surreptitiously. I therefore lake leave briefly to state the
real facts, which I shall do without soy comment. A friend
I of Mr. Belzoni applied to me the day before the ►all fur •
ticket, which I them could sot procure. On the monitor of
Thursday, in consequence of the twit* of addstiouil tickets
being issued, out to be had of Mr. Mors, t►is gentleness
again came to me. Although he was, I believe, commission•
ed by Mr Belzoni to go to Mr. Ebers, which will account
foe Mr. Belsoni's supposition that it was procured direct
from him ; I bed not a ticket, but rest my clerk to Mr.
filters to get one, which he did, sod gave it into the hands
of the Gentleman who waited for it. This is ill I had to do
with the ticket, which I have thus sbewn I porrhased front
Mr. Elora; in fact, Mr. Eben ►as acknowledged that be
sold me the identical ticket presented at the Opera.boure by
Mr. Belzoni. I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
