HANOVER-SQUARE ROONIS.—The second sub-
scription ball of the season under the superintendence of Cap-
tain Marshall, Master of the Ceremonies of Bath, took place
last night at these rooms. It was honoured by the presence
of her Royal Highness the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg,
who arrived shortly after eleven o'clock. She was attended
by Lord and Lady Beresford, Lady Codrington, and the Do-
wager Marchioness of Salisbury joined the Royal party in the
course of the evening. Dancing was kept up with consi-
derable spirit by a fashionable and select assemblage of about
200 until an early hour this morning. The third dance, at
the express desire of the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg was
a country dance, with which her Royal Highness seemed consi-
derably amused. Both on her entrance and departure the
National Anthem was performed.
We understand that a difference has arisen between
two Societies, which have more than once acted in concert,
and that offence has been given in a high quarter, by the as-
sumption of both objects in one Society, each, it seems, pa-
tronized by the Queen, for very different objects ; and the
monopoly of both, by either, is at variance with the etiquette
which prevents the King or Queen from patronizing any two
rival Societies. It is also likely to lead to an investigation,
whether the Royal patronage has not been obtained for a
`'trading establishment belonging. to proprietors, instead of a
Society for scientific purposes, it being also contrary to eti-
quette for Royalty to patronize any trading speculations.
THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NOVEL.—" It is a
pleasure to meet with a work like the one before us," observes
a contemporary, " there is so much vigour united with grace.
The characters arc such as cross our path every day ; there is
nothing of that high-flown absurdity which too often disfigures
works of fiction; and thus its interest, from its very nature and
home feelings, is perfect ; while in the heroine there is so
much truth, beauty, and reality, that we cannot imagine the
sketch, with its accompanying incidents, is wholly the work
of invention. We congratulate Mrs. Norton on her success,
which must be complete."
EDITORIAL GALLANTRY.—" We understand that
almost 'the first act' (says the Dublin Register) of our thea-
trical Chief Governor, was to dispatch to Miladi Morgan,' a
vase containing in the interior a large quantity of pickled
tongues. We acquit the Viceregal Romeo, of every failing,
such as generosity in this transaction—the object of the pre-
, sent can be best understood from its nature. This vile female
has now got her orders to give tongue to her unbridled abuse,
of all that is religious and respected amongst us. Sooner
would the lamented Haddington have bitten his tongue to
pieces than have formed, in such a manner, a league with this
she Jacobin."

M. DE LAMARTINE'S PILGRIMAGE TO THE
HOLY LAND.—In recording his " Pilgrimage to the Holy
LAND," M. De Lamartine has not confined himself to such
descriptions as might illustrate the New Testament (though
in these he is unusually copious), but has explored, with holy
zeal, and untiring research, the scenes rendered for ever me-
morable in the books of Genesis and Exodus, and in the su-
blime prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. He wan-
dered through the whole of Syria and Canaan ; visited the
plain of Tyre and the wells of Solomon; ascended Mount
Sinai; crossed the Deserts; viewed the mysterious ruins of
Baalbeck ; and traversed those wildernesses where the angel
pointed out to Hagar the hidden spring, and where the spi-
rits of heaven were seen ascending and descending Jacob's
ladder.
EXTENSIVE AND MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.—At
the anniversary meeting of the London Missionary Society at
Exeter Hall yesterday, a robbery to a large amount was com-
mitted. The Home Secretary of the Society had received
from many present, donations. Some sent Bank notes, very
many their one, two, or three guineas, while others, who
having prudently abstained from carrying to a crowded public
meeting a sum equal to that generosity their means afforded,
and their will inclined them to, passed up their I 0 1..1's for
50/. 10/. and 5/. 8:c. In hard cash and good securities up-
wards of 600/. had been placed in the hands of the Treasurer.
These monies and papers were put in a bag, which after being
tied up, was placed on the table behind the Chairman, and
which was on the raised platform, to which none but known
persons have access. The business over, 4 Psalm Was sung,
the people standing. When the singing began the hag was safe,
at its conclusion it was looked for in vain, Consternation fol-
lowed, but no Ow to the thief.
