THE POLISH BALL.

The ball and concert in aid of the fluids for re.
lieving the distressed Polish exiles took place onTueldsl
night at the Guildhall. The fittings-up and decors'
tions were the same as on the occasion of the Lord
Mayor's annual dinner on the 9th inst. The nn
was brilliantly lighted with gas and chandeliers, 1133'
at the west end there was a large star of frosted Os,
lighted by gas, surrounded by the motto of the grate,,,"
which had a very beautiful effect. Around the van
were suspended banners bearing the arms of IP;
several City companies, and at either end a mat°
of flags and union-jacks tastefully grouped, and inter"
spersed with these were figures in steel and gilt sr
mour, and a variety of other devices. The floor Ws°
chalked, or rather painted, upon a novel plan, to Po'
vent the inconvenience experienced on former oces-
sions from the dust. It was divided into four core;
partments, the two centre ones representing the „..1111
of the Lord Mayor and the Polish arms, and at eitw
end the Prince of Wales's plume, the whole stg.;
rounded by a tasteful arabesque border. The Batt
in the ball-room was Mons. Jullien's unrics",:"
quadrille band, which was stationed in an orchero
erected near the centre of the hall, and perforinetc.
variety of quadrilles, waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, .
during the evening, including Semiraniide, .1";
Bouquet Royal, 'Lampe, the Bird of Paradise, onclit,o
Le Pas du Diable, the Butterfly, the Royal Polloflt
The company began to arrive shortly after
o'clock, and the carriages continued to set d°wni, „8g
most without intermission till near eleven o'clec", -
which time there were, as well as we could estjulAtel
between 700 and 800 persons present.
The concert took place in the Council Chitral°
shortly before ten o'clock, under the direction of Air'
Benedict. Amongst the vocalists were Signor lirizzo
Mr. J. Bennett, Signor Ferrari, Mr. Mashin, Aliss
Graham, Miss Steele, Miss Sarah Flower, Miss Ails,
sent, Mrs. Rodwell, Miss Dolby, &c. The perforni
ances were loudly applauded, more especially the ca:
vatina " Sotto it fraterno tetto," by Miss Flower, Os
"
trio, " L'Usato ardir," "By the sad sea waves b!
Miss Steele, and " Quando it core," by Miss Dolby
Shortly rafter the concert had commenced the LI
Mayor and Lady Mayoress entered the ball-room, Al
were loudly cheered. His Lordship proceeded to tfe
,
concert-room, which was densely crowded in ever.
part, with repeated cheers.
Among the company we observed the Right .4e.!.1

great spirit during the night, although at times, ejoi
withstanding the immense size of the hall, there "ble
some difficulty in obtaining a sufficient space to ellso
the votaries of Terpsichore to display their greeLr
evolutions. There were a few fancy costumes it1:01,
mingled with the naval and military uniforms P
court dresses, which gave variety and picturesqueeeo .
to the scene. There was an ample supply of refrecl,
meats during the evening, and the stewards were
defatigable in their exertions to provide for the eeirt
fort and accommodation of the company. The re're s'or,
was at its height when we left the gay scene, et bf

THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.—e still connue
to osperience very boisterous weather,W the wind blowintig in
fitfui gust; accompanied with heavy showers of rain. Yes-
tcriay morning it blew a perfect hurricane, which we are
4fraid must have done considerable damage, torrents of
thin falling a tfv‘ same time. During the forenoon, how-
ever, the Bunts hone forth, giving indications of a change
for the better, but shortly after mid-day the sky became
overcast, and a pelting shower commenced, which con-
tinued for some time ; and while we write there is little or
no appearance of our having dry weather. We learn that
there are upwards of 200 sail of vessels still vvindbound
in the Frith of Forth, which have taken shelter there
from the fury of the gale, and cannot yet put to sea
in consequence of adverse winds and the extremely
turbulent state of the German Ocean. The Clunie,
