The Fancy Ball at ALMACK'S, on Wednes-
day evening, afforded a new proof of the rapid success
with which this species of amusement wins its way in the
Fashionable World—it was altogether in the first order of
taste and elegance. At ten o'clock the company began to
arrive ; at eleven the muster exceeded three hundred ; and
before midnight there were present about four hundred and
sixty persons, all in character dresses, with a very few ex-
ceptions. It was expected that the " Court of Elizabeth"
would have attended; but, with the exception of Mary
Queen of Scots, and a few others, the circle was not
graced by that distinguished coterie. The Ladies, how-
ever, all wore their diamonds, though not the costume.

DIED—On Sunday the 6th inst., at Ham
Court, in the county of Worcester, the Rev. JosErn
MARTIN, in the 72d year of his age.
We see by an advertiseent of Mademoiselle
Maas, that M. I...trollix is not behaving generously. At
his own benefit be put in requisition all the talent of the
theatre in its various branches; he refuses to this accom-
plished actress the assistance which she cheerfully afforded
him. This may be very clever and business-like, but is it
handsome, and will it succeed ultimately ?Times.
HAYMARKET.—A new candidate for thea-
trical honours made his appearance here last night as Shy-
lock. lie is a personable man enough, but went through
his part with very indifferent success. Miss KELLY made
an interesting and intelligent Portia.

At the peace of Tilsit, NAPOLEON accom-

the Emperors embraced, and NaroLzoN took from his
breast the cross of the Legion of Honour, and attached it
to the button-hole of the grenadier on the right of the front
rank of the Russian Guard, saying, " You will remember
that this is the day on which your master and I became
friends."—Memoirs of the Duke of Rovigo.

Yesterday Lord FARNBOROUGH, accompa-
nied by several Members of Parliament, on viewing the
works of the New London Bridge, and improvements in
that quarter, had their attention directed to a nearly rect-
angular piece of ground, in the vicinity of St. Saviour's
Church, which easily might be made to extend 1300 feet.
His Lordship and the gentlemen accompanying him, taking
into consideration the New Bridge, the beautiful structure
of St. Saviour's, the New City Halls, and other buildings
to be erected consequent on the general improvement of
this part of London; gave it as their decided opinion that a
snore appropriate site than this piece of ground afforded
could scarcely be found for the King's o:ilege.

TOM SPRING, host of the Castle Tavern,
vice Ezt.citEn resigned, has hi., opening dinner on Thurs-
day next, under Corinthian patronage. SPRING'S conduct
in the Ring has never been impeached, and no doubt he
will have a strong muster; all the Nobs of the Fancy
will be there, and several new matches are expected to be
made.

Away with ye, bugs and fleas ; welcome bride and joy !"
