THE QUEEN'S STATE BALL.

The Queen gave a state ball, the first this season,
yesterday evening, in Buckingham Palace, which was
very numerously attended; the invitations including
the royal family and foreign princes in England, the
whole of the diplomatic corps and foreigners of dis-
tinction at present in town, the ministers and officers
of state, the ladies and gentlemen of the royal house-
hold, and upwards of one thousand of the nobility and
gentry. Half-past nine o'clock was the hour named
for the company to assemble, but before that time the
distinguished guests began to arrive ; the foreign
ministers, privy councillors, and the Queen's aides-
de-camp, alighting at the garden entrance, and the
general company at the ;ntrance to the Palace in
Pimlico. The members 4of the royal family were
ushered on their arrival i o the royal closet, where
the Queen and Prince Allkrt received their illustri-
tiogs visitors, and the general company were conducted
the grand staircase to the picture gallery, each
end of which was tastefully filled with rare and
eautiful shrubs and plants. The recesses in the
ftaircaies were also tastefully grouped with plants
'n flower. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the
grand staircase, commanded by Sir W. Bellairs, the
Lion in Waiting. The officers of the corps present
were Sir. G. P. Lee, the lieutenant, and Capt. Sadler,
the Exon.
The Prince of Prussia arrived at half-past nine
o'clock, attended by Count Goltz and Baron Boy en.
The Duchess of Kent was attended by Lady A.
Bruce, Baroness de Speth, Sir G. Couper, and Lord
J. Murray.
The Count of Syracuse was attended by his Ex-
cellency Prince Castelcicala, the Chevalier Colons,
and M. Canofari.

The Duke and Duchess Bernhard of Saxe Weimar
were accompanied by Prince Edward and the Prin-
cesses Anna and Amelia of Saxe ►`'eirnar, and were
attended by M. Hergt.
The Duchess of Cambridge was accompanied by
Prince Frederick William of Hesse, and was attended
by Lady A. Cadogan and Mr. E. Mildmay.
The Duke George of Mecklenburg Strelitz was
also present.

Soon after ten o'clock the Queen and Prince Al-
bert, preceded by the Lord Chamberlain and the
Lord Steward, and attended by the Mistress of the
Robes, the Lady in Waiting, the Maids of Honour,
and the principal officers of the household, entered
the saloon from the white drawing-room, followed by
the royal guests.
Her Majesty wore a very chaste and elegant cos-
tume; the dress Was of white crape, trimmed with white
roses and pearls, over a white silk slip. The Queen
also wore a wreath of white roses. The august party
passed through the saloon, and entered the ball-room,
followed by the general company. The Lord Cham-
berlain conducted her Majesty to a seat in an alcove,
lined with white silk embroidered with gold, with
draperies of amber-coloured satin, and ornamented
with a variety of the choicest and rarest exotics. The
seats for her Majesty and her royal visitors within
the alcove were elevated above the rest of the apart-
ment.
The ball was then opened, the first dance being a
quadrille, " Haydee" (Musard), which was performed
by the quadrille band, led by Mr. Henry Barnard.
Quadrilles, waltzes, and polkas followed.
Dancing having commenced in the ball-room, the
numerous assembly shortly afterwards formed into
sets for quadrilles, in the Throne-room, where a
second quadrille band, conducted by Mr. Charles
Coote, was in attendance. Quadrilles, waltzes, and
polkas followed in succession. The following were
danced :—Quadrilles—Attila, Henriette, Fountain,
Pomeroy (Coote), Cavendish (Tinney). Waltzes—
Oberon, Rachel (Tinney), Emmeline (D'Albert),
Concordia (Strauss), Romelie (Fessy), Matilda
(Coote). Polkas—Evelyn, Belfast (Tinney), Co-
quette (D'Albert), Clara (Coote). Galop.
Both the ball-rooms and the entire suite of state
saloons were brilliantly illuminated.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
THE HEALTH OF TowNs BlLL.—Yesterday, a special
court was held, in consequence of a requisition, most
numerously signed, to the Lord Mayor, "to consider
how far the Public Health Bill, now brought into the
House of Commons by her Majesty's Government, is
likely to interfere with the right of self-government in-
herent in all local representative bodies, and to take such
steps therein as may be deemed expedient." After the
transaction of some routine business, Mr. Blake intro-
duced the following resolutions by a long speech:—
" That although the City of London, and the metro-
politan boroughs generally, are exempted from the
operation of the Bill introduced into the House of
Commons by her Majesty's Government, intituled, A
Bill for Promoting the Public Health," yet this Court
considers itself called upon to express its opinion upon
a measure so deeply affecting the well-being of a large
portion of their fellow-subjects, being satisfied also that
in vindicating and supporting the rights of other local
representative bodies it best consults the maintenance
and integrity of its own.
" That this Court desires to express its deep and un-
feigned regret that her Maiesty's Ministers, professing
generally their attachment to liberal opinions, should
have introduced into Parliament a Bill which virtually
deprives the people of their just share in the administra-
tion of matters purely local, placing the same in the
hands of Commissioners, to be appointed by and re-
sponsible only to the Crown.
" That the provisions of the Bill in question, which
place an uncontrolled, unlimited, and irresponsible
power of taxation in the hands of such Crown Com-
missioners, are, in the opinion of this Court, unwise,
impolitic, and contrary to the spirit of the constitution ;
and if unhappily they should receive the sanction of the
Legislature, this Court is satisfied they would sap the
foundation of the liberties of the people, and tend
materially to impair and to loosen the attachment of all
classes to the most valuable institutions of the country.
" That this Court would rejoice to see passed into a
law a well-advised, comprehensive, and efficient measure
for improving the administration of sanitary affairs, and
desire to see carried out, from time to time, such im-
provements as the advance of science shall point out and
dictate with the view of promoting the health, happiness,
and social well-being of all classes of the community;
but it is of opinion that these most desirable objects
would be dearly purchased at the expense of any sacri-
fice of the liberties of the people; and this Court depends
upon the wisdom of Parliament to devise such amend-
ments in the measure now before the House of Com•
mons as shall provide for sanitary improvement by
means consistent with the preservation of the existing
rights of municipal, parochial, and other local represen-
tative bodies."

_ ...._,.........
Mr. Wire seconded the resolutions, and Mr. Alderman
Lawrence and Mr. R. Taylor (who regarded Lord Mor-
peth's Bill as nothing less than " an exhibition of gross
folly and quackery ") having addressed the Council, the
resolutions were then put and carried unanimously,
amidst cheers, and a petiti9u Nunded upon them Wu

With Jenny Lind all nights are equal. The long
Thursdays have disappeared—with a host of talent, she
suffices alone, and the I,,ast fashionable night boasts of
as great an assemblage of rank as any other of the week.
Thursday night, her Majesty, accompanied by theirßeyal
Highnesses Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, and the
Prince of Prussia, honoured the performances with
their presence, and Mdlle. Lind exerted herself still
more than her wont, and her success was, if
possible, greater than in general. The scene, when
recalled before the curtain, was in the highest
degree amusing, from the excitement that prevailed
and the variety of manners in which it was manifested
On her second recall the shower of bouquets was over-
whelming, and, probably at a loss how to carry them
off; or to express le r acknowledgments sufficiently, on
the third recall Mdlle. Lind did not return. A curious
Neapolitan characteristic dance was admirably executed
between the acts, and Rosati and Marie Taglioni ap-
peared after the opera in Fiorito. The choregraphic
troupe is now complete—Carlotta Grisi is arrived. Her
Mitt was the subject of much anticipation on Thursday
but still more the debtit of the great soprano, Tadolini ,
who appears for the first time on Saturday with Reeves,
and with Schwartz, Coletti, and Lablache in the same
opera—a most extraordinary cast!
In the suite of her Majesty and the Prince Consort
were the Countess of Charlemont, the Earl of Morley,
Colonel Grey, and Captain Gordon.
The Prince of Prussia was attended by Copain Boyen,
and the Duchess of Kent by Lady Augusta Bruce and
Sir George Couper.
The general company included the Prince Galitzin,
the Princess Balasilosky, his Excellency the Russian
Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, his Ex-
cellency the Sardinian Minister, the Baroness de Brun-
now' the Baroness Rehausen, the Marquis of Donegal!,
the Marchioness Dowager of Sligo and the Ladies
Browne, the Countess of Sefton, Viscount Enfield,
Viscount Cantilupe, Lord Ossulston, Lord Gardner, Sir
T. and Lady Barrett Lennard, Sir James and Lady
Stirling, Lady Smith, Sir F. Thesiger, Lady Beauclerk,
Lady Vincent, Count Aymer de Courcy, M. C. Kou-
driaffsky, Baron Nicolai, Count de Barke, M. de Berg,
General the Hon. H. Cavendish, Admiral Sir Edward
and the Misses Codrington, Lieutenant-Colonel and
Mrs. K. Tynte, Lieutenant Meynell, Mr. and Mrs.
Sandford, Mr. Hubert de Burgh, Mr. John Townley,
Mrs. Hodgson, &c.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Literary Association of the Friends of Poland,
Sussex Chambers, Duke street, St. James's,
May 19th, 1848.
Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to the
Editor of The Sun, and would feel obliged by the inser-
tion in that paper of the accompanying letter which has
been addressed to him by Lord Beaumont.
" 18, Curzon-street, May 18th, 1848.
"My dear Lord Dudley Stuart,—l perceive that you
have availed yourself of the opportunity afforded by the
debate on Russia, to correct the statement I made with
regard to the atrocities committed in Posen, and to re-
move the impression my observations at the Polish
Association were said to have produced. My version of
the subject was founded exclusively on the information
obtained from the German papers, the article being so
minute in their details and so positive in their tone, that
I believed them to be a correct, though strongly drawn
picture, of the scenes then enacting in the Duchy. The
pr i!at.e. letters however, which have since been sub-
mitted
to me, give a different character to the insurrec-
tion, and, though they leave much to be deplored in that
ill- judged
.and ill. conducted movement, tend to remove
the supposition that an internecine struggle between the
landlords and peasants (in other words a Jacquerie) bad
disgraced Posen as it did Galicia. lam happy, there-
fore, to find that inapplying that phrase to the disturb-
ances in Posen, I
than they deserved. as giving them a worse character
" I am, my dear Lord Dudley, yours faithfully,
" BEAUMONT."

CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT MOTTRAIVI. -- On
Monday last a meeting of the friends of Mr. Cornwall
Legh was held at the Angel Inn, Mottram; W. Side-
bottom, Esq., in the chair. The principal business of
the meeting was the appointment of the canvassers for
the district. In the course of the meeting, a placard,
signed by Mr. Cheetham, was brought forward, which
alluded to the compromise made with Mr. Astley's com-
mittee at the late election. The whole of the gentle-
men repudiated the transaction, declaring that the
parties who made that agreement had no power or autho-
rity to enter into a contract to bind the electors, and
they therefore did not consider themselves in the least
hound by that contract. Another meeting of these gen-
tlemen will be held in the same house on Thursday even-
ing to receive the report of the canvassers.—Manchester
Guardian.

MURDER.—On Friday great excitement was created
in Calton on account of a murder having been committed
in 12, New-street, on Thursday evening, under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—James Gray, a man of about 45
years of age, who has for some time been employed at
Townhead as a stone-breaker, went with his wife on
Thursday afternoon, after his work was done, to a public-
house, where they partook pretty freely of liquor. On
their way home they had a slight quarrel, but of no
consequence, considering that they were intoxicated.
They were both seen to enter their apartment, to get
into which they required to pass through that of a man
and his wife named Steele, who were also understood
to be the worse for liquor ; and about ten minutes
afterwards their only child, a boy of about twelvo
years of age, came running out crying that his mother
had been murdered. The poor woman was found lying
on the ground on her face, and as there are discoloured
marks on her neck it is evident she must have met her
death by strangulation. The murderer, who has hitherto
been of rather industrious habits, was taken into cus-
tody by the Calton police ; and next morning, when he
came to his senses, and was made aware of the whole of
the circumstances, he exhibited deep penitence and
cried like a child. The poor boy, who has been in the
habit of working along with his father at stone-
breaking, seemed to be fully aware of the frightful na-
ture of the case, and for fear of being called to bear
witness against his parent ran off, but was taken by the
police yesterday afternoon. The case is now undergoing
investigation by the sheriff.—Glasgow Citizen.
RIGHT OF VOTING BY FREEMEN AND LIVERYMEN
OF LONDON.—It is important to the right understanding
of this question to observe that very erroneous opinions
are entertained by many as to the effect of the Reform
Act on the ancient rights and privileges of freemen,
being also liverymen of London. Those rights and
privileges remain precisely as they were before the pass-
ing of the said Act, with this exception only, that. the

of
the corporate officers, such as the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs,
Chamberlain, Bridge-master, &c., freemen of London,
being also liverymen, are entitled to vote in the same
manner as before the passing of the statute, and without
any reference whatever as to the distance that they may
reside from London. All children born after the ad-
mission of their father into the freedom of the city, as
well as apprentices who have been regularly bound, and
have duly served their time, acquire on taking up their
freedom and livery the same rights. Any persons taking
up their freedom and livery with the view of obtaining
votes for Members of Parliament for the city of London
should be careful to do so before thelast day ofJuly,in order
to be placed on the register in July of the succeeding
year, otherwise a further delay of twelve months mast
take place before they would be qualified to vote.
HULL, THURSDAY.—A preliminary meeting of
liberal electors was held here last night, to promote the
movement in favour of retrenchment and reform. Many
Chartists were there, and several of the most moderate
politicians belonging to the middle classes. Ou the mo-
tion of Mr. J. Foster, Belgian Consul, a resolution was
passed, setting forth the desirability of such a move-
ment as has been set on foot; and then came another
resolution, approving of household suffrage and the
three other points propounded by the Manchester Com-
mittee. The Chartists entered into the discussion with
much good humour, and seemed to be far from united
on the question. Ultimately, the moderate party pre-
vailed, and the resolution was agreed to. An associa-
tion was then established, to be called the Hull Reform
League, to co-operate with similar bodies in other
towns. The Committee were also requested to consider
the propriety of convening a formal public meeting to
strengthen the hands of Messrs. Cobden, Hume, and
others friendly to electoral reform.
THE SURVEY OF THE METROPOLIS.—Yesterday
a corporal and two carpenters belonging to the Sappers
and Miners, assisted by six labourers, were busily en-
gaged in fixing up the first portion of the scaffold on
which is to be built the shed on the cross of St. Paul's
Cathedral, from which the survey of the metropolis and
surrounding country is to be made.
