THE GRAND POLISH
Last night the annual grand fancy and ful
aid of the funds of the Literary Association of
Poland, took place at Willis's Rooms (Almack's), under the
most flattering auspices.
We were informed, from an authentic source, that there
were above 1,000 tickets taken, but the company did not ex-
ceed 850 in number, including some of the highest aristocracy.
The funds, therefore, will be materially increased.
The company began to arrive in quick succession at 10
o'clock, and about 11, when the ball-room boasted a large
muster, the band struck up the national anthem of Poland
"leszcze Polska me zgineba" (Poland is not yet lost).
The dancing then ;;commenced with the Marchioness of
Sligo's quadrille, which was followed by Lady Caroline San-
ford's " Rose" quadrille ; Lady Charles Fitzroy's quadrille of
the months and seasons; and these set dances concluded
with Viscountess Palmerston's lance quadrille and the Hon.
Mrs. Dawson Damer's mazourka.

The Callrroom,whentheleading company had congre-
gated, presented a superb coup d'ceil, the brilliancy and

Lord Dudley Stuart, whose untiring
every exertion to promote the charitable views of
unfortunate Poles, obliged from political • persecution to re-
pair to these hospitable shores, is deserving of the highest
admiration. Jullien and Kcenig's bands occupied the
orchestra. A pleasing manifestation of loyal and devoted
feeling to our gracious Sovereign was displayed at the hour
of midnight the band, even to the interruption of a
quadrille, striking up " Gcd save the Queen," in honour to
the eve of her Majesty's birth-day.
It was pleasing to observe that all the arrangements
were completely successful, and too much praise cannot be
awarded to the Secretary of the association for his endeavours
in facilitating the assembling of the several fancy quadrilles
in the different rooms, and otherwise promoting the comforts
of the company.
From the great number of splendid fancy dresses, it would
be impossible to particularise the more magnificent.
The young Baboo Nagundrowauth Tajore was present, in
the rich costume of his country, and Mohun Lal was also
among the distingushed strangers.
