The following appointments were made at the Admiralty
yesterday :---

The ball, as our readers are aware, is to be given
in the picture galleries of the Exhibition—that is
to say, in the eastern half of them ; the portion
which last year was devoted to the display of
works of the British School. We need say nothing
more about the noble proportions of these galleries.
The most captious of the enemies of the Exhibition
never denied that they were the loftiest, hest pro-
portioned, and best lighted picture galleries in
Europe, and we believe the experience of Friday
next will show that they will appear to equal ad-
vantage in their new festive capacity. At all events,
when the Guards' officers charged to carry (At the
details of this fie cast about to find a suite of
apartments suitable for the purpose, which should
be at once very large, very lofty, very well venti-
lated, and completely under their own control, they
found there were none in the metropolis which
offered these facilities in such perfection as the
Exhibition picture galleries. Of course a good deal
has had to be done to make even these fine rooms
suitable to a great State festival such as this is, in
fact, to be; but by the combined exertions of some
200 or 300 soldiers, aided by various corps of deco.
rators, trophy fitters, and carpenters, the rooms are
at last emerging out of their chaos of dust and
chips, and assuming sufficiently the aspect of their
final decorated state to warrant us in giving some
outline of what they will be on Friday evening.

To begin at the very commencement, the entrance
for all visitors is to be in the Cromwell-road, where
the width of the approaches admits of such admi-
rable police arrangements that the whole of the
1,400 guests who are invited can set down in an
hour and a half, if they will only come within that
time. The wide, ample awning from Buckingham
Palace will make a sheltered porch over this
entrance—

" Where tender beauty, waiting for her coach,
Protrudes her gloveless band and feels the shower,"
and where, if the shower does really come to make
the porch useful, all, either on arriving or departing,
will be under its cover. From this porch the wide,
entrance which used to give ingress to the main
body of the Exhibition building has been screened
off with hangings of red, white, and blue, the colours
of the brigade. On the left a beautifnl cloak-room
will be fitted up for the Duchess and Princess Mary
of Cambridge and the ladies of the late Royal family
of France, &c. The cloak-rooms for the general
visitors will he beyond this again, on the right and
left. From the porch lining the Entrance on both
sides and up the stairs leading to the ballroom will
be stationed a picked detachment of the Guards—
the finest and most distinguished of the private sol-
diers in this magnificent brigade. The staircase
will be carpeted with the same red, white, and blue,
and the walls draped with festoons of similar tints.
Along the gallery where the stained glass used to
be shown during the Exhibition will be hung
screens of the same kind, and this outer gallery will
be used as a sort of cool promenade and a place for
such light refreshments as ices, tea, coffee, &c. On
the right, just before the entrance to the rooms, an
octagon boudoir, in the form of a pavilion tent, is
being erected for the Princess of Wales. This
; to be a perfect gem of de-
apartment is, it is said
corative art, Mr. Nosotti, to whose hands it has
been committed, having been required only to suc-
ceed in making it supremely beautiful. The entrance
to the ballroom has been divided by lofty draped
screens which reach the roof into an apartment of
about 40 feet by 40, where the Duke of Cambridge
and all the chief officers of the Brigade will receive
the general company, their guests, before the arrival
of the guests of the evening. Their Royal High-
nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will, of
course, be received upon their alighting at the
entrance, at 10 o'clock.

As some misapprehension seems to have arisen as
to whether gentlemen are to wear uniform or Court
dress on this occasion, we have been requested to
state that all gentlemen, whether in the service or
not, are expected to appear in plain evening dress.
The only Exception xception to this rule will be the officers
of the Brigade of Guards, who as hosts and enter-
tainers, appear in uniform ; but all guests, even his
Royal Highness, will, as we have said, wear even-
ing dress. Of course, all of the company who ere
honoured with invitations are expected to assemble
in the ball-room to receive their Royal Highnesses,
who are to arrive at 10 o'clock. Not a single in-
vitation beyond the 1,400 originally invited has
been issued for this splendid fie.

The 19th annual meeting of the shareholders of
the Association for Improving the Dwellings of the
Industrial Classes was held yesterday afternoon, at
the cffices, in Coleman-sti est, City, Lord Claud
Hamilton, in the chair. Tne ..ssociation has
for its object the erection of dwellings for single
men and families belonging to the working classes,
combining in their constrticticn every possible com-
fort and sanitary improvement. The sets of rooms
are let out at rates as low as is consistent with a
moderate profit. The business was commenced by
the re-election of the retiring directors, after which
the chairman moved the adoption of the report. In
announcing to the meeting a dividend of 3 per cent.
be congratulated the society on being the pioneers
of the movement. Since their establishment in 1841
numerous other societies, having similar objects in
view, had been established in London and in dif-
ferent parts of the country. He was sure that he
spok the sentiments of the meeting when he wished
these societies the success they deserved. When
first their own association was established they had
great obstacles to contend against, in the form of
certain legal enactments then existing which com-
pelled them to obtain a royal charter at a very
great expense, not to mention the total want
of experience in such matters, all of which
difficulties had been made smooth to the new
societies. The dividend declared showed the
society to be in a prosperous condition. They had
414 families in occupation of their tenements, only
nine of which were then vacant. The lodgings for
single men were not so successful ; in fact, a small
loss had been incurred in the Soho-chambers, They
had still £9,000 of unsubscribed capital, and he
trusted the shareholders would do all in their power
to assist them in getting out of this difficulty. He
begged to move that the report be confirmed. Mr.
Hill, in seconding the motion, gave an account of
the labour they had to create a taste for clean and
commodious dwellings among the working classes,
who were notoriously apathetic in this matter. In
supporting the motion, Mr. Baker, a shareholder,
said that, looking at the number of aristocratic
names among the shareholders who had taken up 10
shares and less, he thought that the £9,000 in ques-
tion might be easily raised if a deputation or even

ments.

the secretary were to call upon and properly repre-
sent to them the disadvantages the association lay
under by having so much unsubscribed capital. He
also called attention to the large mortality among
the Spitalfields tenants. He thought it might be
reduced considerably if a committee were formed to
inspect the premises. By taking such a step a few
years since, they had reduced the rate of mortality
at the Nelson-square houses to 14 per 1,000. The
mortality in the Spitalfields premises was 44 per
1,000, or 20 per 1,000 over the ordinary rate of the
district. Mr. Price, a shareholder, considered that
the association did not pay as well es it ought. A
private speculator in houses would think 3 per
cent very small profit on the capital invested. If
the property did not pay, he thought that, as busi-
ness men, it was their duty to get rid of it. Another
shareholder considered the expenses most dispropor-
tionate to the rent, being in several cases from one
to two-thirds of the amount received, He did not
think the shareholders should be content with 3 per
cent. on the capital. The Soho-chambers were a
yearly loss to them, and ought to be at once got rid
of. Mr. Scottf, a director, stated that they had
taken legal advice on the subject of the unsubscribed
capital, and it had been determined that they could
not raise any more capital except at par, and he
feared that, with so small a dividend, very few
persons would feel disposed to subscribe for it.
Lord Claud Hamilton reminded one of the speakers
who had mentioned a society with which Alderman
Waterlow was connected as having proposed to pay
a dividend of 10 per cent., that this sum was only
hypothetical, and had since been reduced by Mr.
Waterlow to five per cent. The secretary further
explained that insuperable obstacles stood in the
way of disposing of the Soho-chambers. They had
much to contend against in the way of heavy rates
and expenses of superintendence. After some
further discussion the motion was passed unani-

Passing beyond this reception room, which is to be
exquisitely decorated, the remaining long length of
apartment which constitutes the gallery proper has
been divided into three portions; the first is called
the conservatory, the central portion is the ball-
room, and the last will be the supper-room. The
conservatory and the supper-room, the Alpha and
Omega of the fete, are to be the most charac-
teristic and the most beautiful salons, if we may
use such a term to a conservatory, ever seen of the
kind. In the first the walls, almost up to the very
ceiling, will be hidden with palms from Kew, with
banks of ferns, heaths, and rare exotics in full bloom,
and the background of wall, where it can be seen

mously. A dividend of 3 per cent. was then agreed
to, and the meeting separated after the usual votes
of thanks to the chairman, directors, and officers.

STATE OF TRADE.

From this beautiful apartment, in which also re-
freshments win be served, a draped entrance leads to
the ballroom, a room having a dancing floor 200 feet
long by 38 wide. or rather more than double the size
of any known ballroom in London. Over the whole
extent, a pitch fine floor has been carefully laid,
smoothed down, and finely planed so as to make it
as level and as smooth as a sheet of satin wood. In
the centre of the room is a raised dais for the guests
of the evening and the members of the Royal family.
All round the room, except in the space fronting
this dais, there are raised seats for those who wish
to enjoy the brilliant scene without fatigue. The
background to these seats is scarlet drapery, the
walls above are tinted of a light maize colour with
the emblems of the brigade in wreaths and garlands.
The ceiling has simply been left as it used to be,
and immediately below the glass lights a kind of
ceiling is formed by a stretched screen of main-
coloured cloth. At the west end of the gallery, about
midway up the wall, a spacious orchestra has been
built, and will be beautifully decorated. The whole
apartment is lit from above with triple rows of cir-
cular burners, and every pains has been taken to
make the ventilation as perfect and as ample as pos-
sible. This ballroom will afford sufficient space for
800 guests to dance at the same time. Beyond the
ballroom is the supper room, the brilliant glories of
which have yet in a great measure to be arranged
and developed. Just now they are only prefigured
by groaps of colours or by awnings on the walls,

fully screened from the dust. Military accoutre-
ments of all kinds strew the floor as if a desperate
skirmish had just taken place, an idea which
is made more suggestive still by stiff-look-
ing human figures stitched up in blankets—figures
which must call up dismal memories to some of the
officers superintending the preparations. These
rather ghastly-looking objects, however, are only

THE ARMY.

MANCHESTER, June 23.—There has been rather
more firmness in the yarn-market to-day, and some
few sales have been effected, chiefly in 16's to 24's
and 40's mule twist There has been a much better
feeling experienced than prevailed last week, and
prices, so far as there is any change, are generally
rather stronger. Buyers still show a great amount
of timidity; but spinners, in many cases, being still
under order, do not press sales. Where there are
sellers anxious to realise, prices have still a drooping
tendency. There are telegrams to hand from India
extending over about a week. The earliest are
dated the 29th of May. These report imports quiet ;
twist easy. An undated postscript says, 0 Sales of ,
twist at fair rates; imports improving." Another
of the 29th says—" A little more doing for local
consumption at 2 annas (3d. advance on cloths, and
Id. per lb. advance on yarns. Rather more busi-
ness." These telegrams have been delayed owing
to an interruption in the telegraph to Alexandria,
and there are later telegrams to the sth of June,
stating that there was still more business doing in
cloths, but at no further advance in price, and yarns
were lower again. Another telegram from Calcutta
on the sth reports a more favourable market in
cloths than on the 30th ult., and that rather more
business was doing, at better prices. In the Man-
chester market we have had one of the dullest days
for business that have been known. There seems to be
no disposition on the part of buyers to operate,
but manufacturers generally, having no stocks, are
unwilling to give way. There is no improvement
of demand for India arising out of the telegraphic
advices, and prices are irregular. In some cases
prices are lower than on this day week, but to what
extent it is difficult to report, as in reality buyers
hold so much aloof that there are no offers making
such as would fully test the strength of the market.
The position of affairs in America has still a de-
pressing influence on all classes of commercial men
connected with this market, and merchants appear
disinclined at present to enter upon any fresh en-
gagements till they have further news as to the
probable issue of the conflict upon the Mississippi.
LEEDS, 23d.—The markets in the cloth-halls to-
day have been of a better character than for some
time past on a Tuesday. The improvement in the
demand noticed on Saturday has been continued
to-day, and a fair amount of eloth,including a good
bulk of pilots, witneys, and meltons, has changed
hands. The purchases for autumn, both by the
home and the foreign houses, indicate a sound state
of trade, being made with care and firmness, and
in considerable quantities. The various depart-
ments of the woollen manufacture throughout the
district are reported to be as active as usual at this
period of the year, and are better than they were a
month ago. Wool maintains last week's
prices.
ROCHDALE; 22d.—There mr,",s a good attendance
