the office of Commissary-in-Chief and Auditor a the
Civil List.' He wai Secretary to the Treasury from

A ball, for the benefit of the funds of the Institution
for the Relief of the Indigent Blind of the Jewish Per-
suasion, took,placo last night at Willis's Rooms, which
was brilliantly attended. A period of three years has
elapsed since the last ball was celebrated, or an appeal
madelor further support of this excellent institution ;
and from the patronage it received last night it is to be
hoped a great addition to the funds will be made, as the
committee state that the number of pensioners who
have received the benefit of the institution is be-
tweea eighty and ninety, and the amount expended
for their support has exceeded 16,000/. It is
most praiseworthy to remark of this charity that
it has removed the melancholy spectacle which formerly
existed;of witnessing the blind seeking alms in the public
street. Many members or the most distinguished fami-
lies of the Hebrew persuasion were present. Notwith-
standing the demise of the father of the Baroness Lio-
nel de Rothschild, the friend and patroness of this and
every other Jewish institution, not only prevented her
.welcome-presence, but was the cause of some absentee;.
The committee and the stewards, headed by their excel-
lent chairman, B. S. Phillips, Esq., used every exertion
to make the gathering pass of Erilliantly, and the com-
pany separated at a late hour, highly delighted with the
results of the evening, the collection_ having exceeded
4504, •
