ST. ALBANS ELECTION.

The Mowing is a return " of any account transmitted
by messengers employed under the authority of this
House relative to the apprehension of witnesses sum-
moned by,the St. Albans Election Committee who have
been induced to abscond":--

" House of Commons, May 19, 1851.
" My Lord,—ln compliance with your Lordship's di-
rections I proceeded to Boulogne on Friday last to en-
deavour to obtain information respecting the witnesses
in the Se Albans case who have absconded. On my
arrival at that place I waited en the British Consul, who
accompanied me to the police and passport offices. From
the official books I there learnt that George Seeley
Waggett was lodging at 52, Rue de and that
James Skegg and Thomas Burchmore were at a small
public-house on the Port, called the ' Anchor and Hope,'
and that the only other lodger there was a Mr. Frederick
Edwards, age 26. I also learnt that John Hayward bad
been at the Hotel des Rains for two nights, but had left
for Paris about 10 days since.
" I desired Inspector Beckerson (the officer employed
to watch the parties at Boulogne) to call on Waggett,
which' he did, and gave him a copy of the proclamation,
offering a reward for his apprehension. After reading
it Waggett stated that he certainly should not return to
England, as he understood the Speaker's warrant was
of no avail at Boulogne, and he thought of moving to
some place in the interior of France if he could obtain
a passport. Waggett further stated that he was not
aware of Skegg and Burchmore being at Boulogne, but
that he had seen Hayward, who had gone to the Paris
races, and had not returned. The inspector observed
that he must have been at considerable expense in coming
fromandhe w
adb remainingbeeaes getting in a foreign place; to which
he as
yet' living on a small in-
comeetting very short of money,
and replied
must send him some without delay.' He then
tEnglandhoef yhi thatso n h,e but
seemed to think he had said too much, and changed the
subject of conversation.
" With reference to Skegg and Burchmore, I had
been made aware that it would be very difficult to secure
an interview with them at their hotel; I therefore made
a point of meeting them on the Sands, where they daily
take exercise, and endeavoured to enter into conversa-
tion with them, but it was of no avail.
" I beg further to state that the police authorities at
Boulogne have been most active in watching the parties,
and have afforded Inspector Beckerson every informa-
tion and assistance. " I have, &c.,

HER. MAJESTY'S STATE BALL.
The State Bail last night at Buckingham Palace, so gra-
cious'y designed by her Majesty to give an impetus to the
trade of the metropolis, could hardly have failed to have
effected its object even if the nobility had not been endued
with the same patriotic spirit that animated the Sovereign.
The period selected by the Queen for this ball was hap-
pily chosen, in being about midway, (in point of costume)
between the two previous fetes of similar character given in
the present reign—when the martial and chivalric costume,
at its zenith in the time of the third Edward, had entirely
passed away, and before the advent of William of Orange had
. .

changed so completely the brilliant and elegant character of
the dress of the English Court. The period represented last
night at her Majesty's Ball—the restoration of Charles ll.
was one when in matters of costume the Courts of England
and that of Louis XIV. were identical, and may be regarded
as almost the termination of that time when elegance, costli-
ness, and variety in dress tended so much to the splendour
and influence of the Court. The alteration from this period
was very rapid, every succeeding Sovereign gradually de-
nuding the Court dress of some of its elegance or splendour.
Velvet, silk, satin, feathers, &c., ceased to be the materials
for the gentlemen's Court dress, anl, lastly, gold lace and
embroidery were removed from it.
The revivification of this gay Court could not therefore
but have a very material effect on certain classes of trade.
Some of the dresses displayed a remarkable degree of taste
as well as splendour, and many were strictly historical. The
baldrics worn by the gentlemen displayed very many beau-
tiful specimens of gold embroidery, and the patterns were
designed with great taste, and varied with nice effect with
dead and bright geld. Velvet, satin, and gold and silver
tissues formed the staple of most o the dresses, and the con-
sumption of ribands must have been enormous; not only
were the doublets, trunks, and sleeves ornamented with
ribands, but each gentleman wore, from where the modern
waistcoat terminates, a great mass cf looped ribands, sus-
pended much in the same way as a Highlander's phillibeg ;
the coat-sleeves, too, terminating at the elbow. The shirt
sleeves were also bound and ornamented with ribands, and
this, ssithout counting the quantity employed in trimming
the ladies' dresses, must have formed a vast aggregate.
Many of the gentlemen so thoroughly entered into the
feeling that prompted this Bal Costume that they repudiated
the attractions of old point, and procured b •autiful specimens
of Honiton point lace for their collars and ruffles. Lord Over-
stone displayed some beautiful Honiton point lace in this
way, made for the especial purpose, and the beautiful silver-
watered tissue of the Duke of Norfolk's dress was manufac-
tured at Spitalfields for this occasion.

The company began to arrive at a very early hour—twenty
minutes before nine o'clock—and continued to arrive in one
uninterrupted stream for above two hours.
. .

One of the first things that struck the eye in this gay and
brilliant assembly was the greater effect produced by the cos-
tumes of the gentlemen than those of the ladies; for the dress
of the latter did not appear so far removed from the fashion
of the present Court dress as that of the gentlemen, than
which nothing could be a greater contrast. Some of the
dresses of the ladies displayed extraordinary splendour, and
with the costumes of the gentlemen produced a living and
truthful picture of the period presented.
Among the earlier arrivals was Miss Burdett Coutts, who
displayed some most rnagnitieent jewels. MiseCoutts wore,
among other ornaments, a broad band of emeralds and dia-
monds, worn in the same manner as a gentleman's b aldrick,
over the right shoulder to the left hip, where it terminated in
a very large clasp of diamonds, used to fasten back the
dress, which opened in front and displayed the petticoat; a
bandeau of large single stone brilliants passed across the
back. Mrs. John Towneley displayed a very elegant
costume of cloth of gold trimmed with bows of purple
riband and pearls. The American Minister displayed a very
handsome dress of blue velvet, richly trimmed with gold lace,
a golden baldrick, and a scarlet velvet mantle. The Mar-
chioness of Londonderry's costume was exceedingly splendid.
A girlie of diamonds and a diamond border or berthe on the
top of the corsage were among the profuse display of jewels
on this magnificent dress, which was of dark crimson velvet.
Her headdress was also peculiar, being a sort of cap or co-
ronet of jewels. Sir William and Lady Molesworth both
displayed very beautiful costumes. Her Ladyship also wore
a beautiful band of jewels across the shoulder. The Marquis
of Clanricarde, Colonel the Hon. George Cadogan, Lieutenant
Seymour Darner, and many others, displayed beautiful cos-
tumes of the period. The national costumes of the Turkish
Minister, his Attaches, the Prince A. de Vogorides, and that
of M. de Lodoriki (a very beautiful Greek dress), produced
a great effect irons their singularity in such as assemblage.
Among the dresses not of our own Court, though of the same
period, were those of Lord Ernest Bruce, who wore an ex-
tremely beautiful dress as a Venetian nobleman; Lord Hol-
land, who wore a dress, apparently Venetian—e long mantle
completely enveloping the figure, of a materiel resembling
Utrecht or uncut velvet on cloth of gold, and a square velvet
cap edged with fur.
Lord Campbell, the Chief Justice of England, appeared in
the costume of Chief Justice Hale; and BaronPurke wore
the dress of a judge of the time.
The suite of the state rooms thrown open for Ms ball were
the Green Drawing-room and its ante-room, the Throne-
room, the Picture-gallery, Ball-room, Saloon, Yelow Draw-
ing-room, the State Dining-room, and the Gaier-room.
These beautiful apartments were illuminated and decorated
in a manner to display their magnificence and filar artistic
treasures with the most consummate effect. A tirone was
erected for her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prime Albert
in the middle of the west side of the Throne-roon. The
throne was surmounted by a square canopy of crimson velvet,
surmounted with a gilt cornice; from the velvet defended a
double row of gold bullion fringe. The outer draperies were
of ciimson velvet with gold fringe; the inner drateries of
muslin were worked in coloured flowers and trimmd with
silver. The interior of the throne and canopy were lined
with white flowered satin and barred with silver fringe.
The chairs of State were placed on a haut- pas, which was
covered with crimson, the chairs themselves being of crim-
son satin and gold. Some of the choicest and most leauti-
ful flowering plants were placed behind and around the
chairs of state. Seated on this throne, her Majesty aid his
Royal Highness Prince Albert received their nunerous
and distinguished guests at the commencement of the lall.
The Throne-room and the Ball-room were appropriaed to
dancing—temporary orchestras being erected in each fir the
Quadrille Bands. Tne Garter and the Green Drawing-rooms
were set apart for refreshments during the evening and
supper was served in the State Dining-room.
Her Majesty's Body Guard, under the command of the
Marquis of Donegal, was on duty in the Palace—his Lord-
ship as Captain—Sir George Lee (Lieutenant), and the four
Exons or Capitaines Exempts de /a garde du Corps, Captains
Kincaid, Phiebs, Bellairs, and Bickford, wore the splendid
uniform of the Corps during the reign of Curies 11.
Her Majesty and his Royal Highness tie Prince Albert,
attended by the Ladies and Gentlemen in Waiting, were con-
ducted by the Lord Chamberlain and the Vice-Chamberlain
to the Throne-room.

Her Majesty wore le grand habit de cow of the fashion of
the Court of Louis XIV., introduced from France by
Charles 11. The skirt of the dress was composed of rich
grey watered silk, trimmed with gold and silver lace, and
ornamented with bows of rose-coloured ritands fastened by
bouquets of diamonds. The front of the dress was open, and
the under skirt was made of cloth of gld, embroidered in a
shawl pattern in silver, scolloped and trimmed with silver
fringe. The gloves and shoes embroiderer alternately with
roses and fieurs delis in gold. Her Majestywore on the front
of the body of the dress four large pear.staped emeralds of
immense value.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert worea coat of cloth of
gold, ornamented with bows of rose-coloured riband and
jewellery ; a hat trimmed with rose-colourid and white fea-
thers ; stockings of grey silk.
Her Majesty being seated on the Throne the general com-
pany were ushered into the royal preserce, entering the
Throne-room from the green drawing•roon, where they had
previously assembled.

The numerous and brilliant Court walkel in procession up
the whole length of the room, and making an obeisance be-
fore the Throne, passed into the Picture Gailery from the en-
trance to the west side of the apartment. This being con-
cluded a Herald of Arms (the llon. LeePrlcl Ellis), in the
