CALCUTTA, FEB. 15.—(MRS. CASEMENT'S PAUT Y.)--rt
seems that the approaching departure of the cold season but
gives a fresh spirit of hilarity and festivity to thefew days which
as yet remain. Yesterday Mrs. CASEMENT again gave an
entertainment which could not but have delighted every indi-
vidual who was there. In describing fancy dress and masqued
balls the language of hyperbole is often used ; but to express
the delight every one experienced yesterday in such terms would
be to out hyperbolify pyperbole herself. In fair set and sober
terms then, Mrs. CASEMENT laid out her extensive house in a
manner which would have done honour to the most refined taste;
the terraces were arched over with boughs and flowers, while
several shady and retired bowers added much to the scenery.
The day was St. Valentine's, and in several of these recesses
were kisses parfait amour, 4e. 4c., advertised to be sold ; if one
might judge from the customers, these bonbons were highly
esteemed—their efficacy remains hereafter to be proved. The
decorations anti the house itself were admirable, and it would
be wrong to say that the characters were not so likewise ; the
worthy hostess had taken care nothing should be wanting on
her part, and her guests were not behind hand on theirs. Every
person supported their characters with spirit, and merriment
was the order of the evening. There were two or three groupes
which had a very pretty effect ; a party of archers appeared in
dresses which did credit to the taste of the inventor, and some
knights of the order of the golden fleece were pre-eminent in
the gorgeous splendour of their apparel. A group of Savo.
yards singing French chansons attracted very general at-
tention, and their early departure was much lamented._
A Chinese party in admirable costume could not fail
of exciting admiration, while a party of recruits with drum
and fife and singularly ridiculous appearances caused much
laughter. There were many individual characters excellently
well supported, among which may be noticed Moll Flaggon
capital to the life, and a country fellow in a smock frock ;
neither was Jehu with his box-coat, or Jack and his wife, one
whit behind the rest in fun and excellence. Notwithstanding
the numbers who were present from the capacity of the house,
those who preferred dancing to joining the Masques had plenty
of room ; and so what with quadrilling, waltzing, singing,
laughing, eating and drinking, this certainly was one of the
merriest evenings which has been spent for a long while.
Mrs. C.'s parties are celebrated; but this one was outhetod-
ing Herod. Ido not tell of the supper, for where every thing
was excellent such an essential could never be forgotten. If
the pleasure and happiness of the guests be the test of their
host's attention, I am sure Mrs. Casement must have felt gra-
tified, and be paid for all the exertion she incessantly made for
their amusement.—(Hurkaru.)

The Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford arrived on Satur.
day at their eeat, West Hill, Surrey, from Trentham Ball,
Staffordshire.

The Duke of St. Alban's, Lady Charlotte Beauclerk, and
Mrs. Coutts, are expected to leave the Earl of Lauderdale's
seat in Scotland, this day, for the British Hotel, Edinburgh,
where they will entertain a large party on Friday next, in ho.
nour of Mrs. Coutts's birth-day.—There is no truth in a state.
ment, that, on Thursday se'nnight, Mrs. Coutts Was married,
at Edinburgh, to the Duke of St. Alban's.
Mr. Serjeant Pell was absent yesterday from the Court of
Common Pleas, in consequence of severe indisposition ; and
we are extremely sorry to hear, that the Learned Gentleman
has been induced, on that account, to retire from the profession,
distinguished member,
of which he has been so long a very
