GRAND CHARTIST"BALL.—On Tuesday last:
- the second Chartist Ball of the season, for the benefit of
the National Rent, came off in the hall of the Temperance
Hotel. Dancing commenced at eight o'clock, and endured
until three o'clock on Wednesday morning, with en&
mieished spirit. The turn-out of ladies was not so copious
nor so excellent and beautiful—it is with the most paintfeelings of reluctance that we are compelled to state this
melancholy fact—as at the first affair; but we must war°
our readers not to imagine for amoment that the concern
was anything of a failure. How the "rent" stood we have
not as yet been certeriorated. The dances were various
and numerous. An Irish jig, danced in character by to°
of the company as man and wife, was a real specimen
the "cover-the-buckle " style of dancing, and even 31fti
Thomas Ryder could not have equalled it. The Highlen
Fling, also, was twice executed by. persons fitted up ie
tartan—but this was nothing to the Irish jig already re;
ferred to—in which the performers " handled their feeti
