The ball given by Prince Napoleon and the Prin-
cess Clotilda at the Palais-Royal, on Saturday
night, was of a most splendid description. The
company comprised the Ambassadors, Ministers,
members of the Privy Council, elite of the fashion-
able world, and all the illustrious of Paris in litera-
ture, art, and science. Not fewer than 22 rooms were
thrown open on this occasion, and still the space was
not by any means too great for the number of per-
sons present, not fewer than 2,400 invitations hav-
ing been sent out. At the entrance, the grand
staircase seemed to disappear amidst a profusion
of flowers disposed with the greatest art, a similar
style of ornamentation having been adopted in the
rooms above. The first arrivals took place a little
after nine, and in another hour the rooms were
crowded. The Princess Mathilde arrived at ten,
and shortly after their Majesties entered, having
been received by Prince Napoleon and the Princess
Clotilda, at the entrance of the salons. The
Empress leant on the Prince's arm, whilst the Em-
peror conducted the Princess. On their Majesty's
entrance, the orchestra played the national air of
Queen Hortense. The Empress wore a charm-
ing dress of sea-green tint, and a rich suite of
sapphires on her neck and head. The Princess Clo-
tilda had on a white dress, with a complete suite of
emeralds and diamonds. The Princess Anna Murat
was also in white, with diamond ornaments. In:fact
the display of jewels was extraordinary. The Em-
peror, the Prince, and all the male guests were in
plain evening dress. Two orchestras played during
the evening, one disposed behind the grand stair-
case, and the other conducted by Strauss, placed be-
tween the two large rooms reserved for dancing, and
situated in the gallery looking on the inner court
of the palace. A buffet with refreshments was
placed in the large marble dining hall, and a grand
supper was served at half-past twelve in the pro-
longation of the gallery. By the Prince's express
orders no change was made in the apartments ex-
cept such as were indispensable for the fete. Every
one admired the numerous pictures, arms, busts,
and objects of art arranged with exquisite taste.
The Emperor more than once went through the
rooms, regarding the various beautiful objects.
Their Majesties left at a little after one, but dancing
was kept up with great spirit until after four o'clock
in the morning.

Address to King Victor Emmanuel.

TURIN, Feb. 1.

The following address to the King from the
Turinese youth is in circulation, and has already
received numerous signatures
Sire—Attached to your august person, born
and brought up in this city in which you also have
first seen the light, we, who better than any can
testify to your virtues and your love for Italy, are
deeply affected at your departure, and believe it our
duty to lay at your Majesty's feet the :sincere ex-
pression of our regret. Sire, if we are sorrowful, it
is because we have seen you depart in sorrow. You
are too generous, sire, not to forget the facts which
have afflicted you. Yes, sire, we implore you to
forget them. It has been truly said, sire, elsewhere,
that the people of Turin—the true people—have dis-
approved what has occurred. The proverbial de-
votion of Turin to the House of Savoy cannot be
supposed weakened owing to a moment in which an
erring handful of her inhabitants forgot their duty.
The youth of Turin, sire, loves you. It is proud to
have so generous a monarch as its fellow-citizen. It
would gladly hasten by its wishes the day when it
will be able to show you that the remembrance of
the benefits received from your Majesty is inefface-
able from the hearts of the inhabitants of Turin."

At the first ordinary meeting of the shareholders
of the Oriental Financial Corporation, held to-day,
the report stated that the gross profits from the
commencement of the business in April last
amounted to £21,762 13s. 2d., which, after deduct-
ing expenses of management, rebate of interest on
bills, and all other charges, and carrying 10 per
cent. to the credit of preliminary expenses and office
furniture, left a balance of £16,975 18s. 11d. Out
of this sum the directors had appropriated £706 3s.
to the payment of ad interim interest to 30th June
last, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, and
£3,298 12s. Bd. for dividend to 31st December,
1864, at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, leaving
the sum of £12,971 3s. 3d. to be carried forward to
the next account. The operations in India were
upon a satisfactory basis, and are capable of consi-
derable extension, but the commercial uncertainty
which had existed during the last few months has
induced the directors to restrict business.
