sous of the first distinCtion and fashion—never was,
andthe elegant plan. We never witnessed such a
varied display of ornament as was exhibited in the
(lifiererit apartments.
About eleven o'clock the Company began to
assemble, and were received at their entrance by
band of music. The lower rooms were su_
Pa iy erblighted up. There was a band of mu_

nowci, however, did not allow of much dancing,
indeed did there appear much disposition to do

's friends, while others were employed in exciting
Ibirth, provoking the sprightly repartee, or in eit_
. dilating flashes of wit that set the circle in a roar.
The sumptuous Ball.room,Promenade,and Avenue,

sP,ar ; the compartments painted in relief and gild-

distant view of London, another of Paris from the
Seine; the whole illuminated by eight beautiful
chandeliers.
The Promenade was eonneeted with the Ball-
; ,I°.°m, the roof of which was supported by trees of
utfferetit
ho
kinds, and the whole lighted' by transpa-
411st lamps
of a sexigon figure of different colours,
Fended from the trees.
t, The Avenue reaching from the Promenade to the
to arc was lighted with coloured lamps, and rtrini-
kred by a large Transparency, representing War
ibdtled by Peace.
oThe walls on each side the Avenue were cover-
," with trees, on which were hung cherries,
'ranges, and grapes in abundance.
