THE SUN,

quet, the committee have resolved to celebrate the
day by one, to take place in the evening at Highbury
Barn. An immense demand has been already made
for tickets, the price- of which has been fixed ex-
tremely low (half-a-crown, we believe), in order that
working rrin may be able to do honour to the occa--
szun. At the same time it is intended to divest it of all
parry character, and to show that such is their real
intention, as w‘,ll as from a sincere wish for a hearty
union of the eli.mea upon such au occasion, the com-
mittee have inviied leading men of the different par-
ties to become their guests, including amongst En-
glishmen—Lord DuWey Stuart, Mr. Cobden, Mr.
Ernest Jones, Mr. W. J. Fox, and Mr. Charles
; and, amongst foreigners, Ledru Rollin, Louis
Blanc, Joseph Mazaini, Arnold huge, and Ferdinand
Froiligrath, the ceh-braced Germen pstriotic poet.

THE POLISH AN D HUNGARIAN BALL
ill‘D CONCERT IN GUILDHALL.
On Sturdy the Committee of the Polish end
Hungarian Bali and C:mccrt assembled in one of the
committer-rcoms of the Guildall ; Mr. Deputy Holt

in the chair.
There were present—Mr. R. G. M'Donnell, Mr.
Goldsnaili, Mr. Read, Dr. Read, Mr. George Walter,
Mr. Deputy Britten, Mr. Lister, Mr. Hardy, &c.
The CHAIEMAN handed in a list of dietinguished
persons who had consent:Ed to patronise the charity,
and congratulated the meeting upon the promise of a
most lucrative night on the occasion of the splendid
entertainment, which it was intended should equal in
every respect any of the memorable efforts made in
the Guilrib,all in aid of the distressed. In the list
which will immediately appear in advertisements,
crowded with the names of persons of rank end sta-
tion, will be those of Lord and Lady John Russell,
Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord and Lady Beau-
mont, Lord and Lady Beauchamp, the Earl and Comte
tess of Harrowby, &c. &c.
Already many applications have been made to the
committee for tickets to the ball. The announcement
that the departure of Kossuth for America had been
postponed in order to afford him the gratifying oppor-
tunity of being present on the night of Thursday, the
13th inst., wil!, it is calculated, produce so extensive
a sale of tickets, that the committee will find it neces-
cessary to make such arrange ments as may counteract
the jobbing which often takes place when any re-
markable attraction is expected.
Upon the motion of Mr. APDONNELL, seconded by
Mr. READ, it was unanimously agreed, "that the net
proceeds tithe intended Polish and Hungarian Ball
and Concert be handed over by the committee to the
President of the Literary Association of the Friends
of Poland, to be distributed in such proportions, and
in such mode, as may be resolved on by the committee
of that association."
Copies of placards were produced announcing the
night of the ente'rtainnient, and containidelng the fhis
ol-
lowing paragraph :—" M. Kossuth has ayed
departure to America to enable him to be present on
the occasion." •
The tickets are to be sold at the old prices. •
At the next meeting the names of the concert vocal
and instrumental performers will be mentioned, as
well as several matters of additional interest.
