THE POLISH BALL AT GUILDHALL TO-MORROW, WED-
NESDAY.—The committee for conducting this entertain-
ment have nearly completed all their arrangements, which
are on the usual scale of splendour and magnificence. Lord
Chief Baron Pollock has kindly consented to transfer his
Court for the day of the ball to the Sheriff's Court, thus to
afford more accommodation to the numerous company ex-
pected on the occasion. The floor of the hall will be co-
vered with cloth manufactured for this purpose, and every
comfort provided for the visitors. The concert, which
will be held in the concert chamber, under the direction of
Mr. Lindsay Sloper, will be supported by Mrs. Endersohn,
Miss Ransford, Miss Messent, Miss Cicely Nott, Miss Kate
Hickson, Miss Lascelles, Madame Weiss, Mademoiselle
Coulon, Mr. Wrightson, Mr. T. Williams, Mr. Weiss, and
Bodda. A great number of officers from the New
Militia will appear in their dazzling uniforms, and the
ball will be as brilliant_as all its predecessors.
