Mastarguarm.—A Masquerade was given last night, at
the King's Theatre. As the genuine spirit of masking, whe.
ther of tun dr of intrigue, is not to be found at public exhibi-
tions of this nature in London, an extended spate, and a
numerous assemblage are advantageotta—they at least increase
the chance, that if true whim and humour be wanting, show
and bustle will he substituted. This Theatre is well adapted
to 'ltch a purpose, and the arrangements were so contrived as
to render its capabilities available. A platform was placed
over the pit, making the whole interior into one large saloon,
at each end of which, in an elevated orchestra, was placed
a band, the orchestra at the back of the stage Wag slur.
mounted by a large illuminated crown, with the letters G. R.
The effect en the whole was striking, and well suited
to such an occasion. In the room adjoining the' boxes,
fitted up as a Theatre, another band played quadrilles.—
The company was of the usual kind, and their deportment of
the usual cast. The gentlemen obviously felt the mask only as
an incumbranec, and were little disposed to avail themselves
of its protection for the indulgence of waggery and mischief;
and to the ladies it would be unjust to deny that bounteous
good nature, which withhold unwillingly from mankind in ge-
neral the pleasure that may be derived from the contempla-
tion of beauty. The characters presented no novelty; and
indeed moat of the persons who supported them are as
well known to the frequenters of masquerades as the
regular performers to the frequenters of Theatres.—
The dresses were generally good. There were some Spa-
niards superbly apparelled; a Mexican very accurate in
attire, a '.lurk decorated In the true Ottoman style, and
others not less successful in costume. *Rubor the feats too were
tolerably well sustained. ArtinngsA9l,yrerptiJer„tiffid.ll,er,

a Mull Flaggoos. •Of romps, Gift*** ail" r*bb*,
rustics, there was a prat abundance. The exhilgtion, which
on the whole was tame enough, was varied and adiVened by
the displays of 11 Dinvolo Antonio on the slack rope, and M.
t/ouffi, the celebrated monkey of the Surrey Theatre. De-
tween one and two o'clock, a great portion of the motley all-
semblnge recruited their spirits with a sapper, and Nireight'a
champagne, and afterwards returned Metre Sway; if not raft
witty, to the scene of their amusement, where they continued
at an advanced hour of the morning,
Catet.vrwttast, JAN. 19.--. Lord Dunallpy and las bride are
expected daily, at his Lordship's /*Unto. an, this place, from
Dublin. Lord and Lally EbringMn have left ,111; they will
be much regretted by the poor of Cheltenham, to whom they
distributed considerable sums in charitable donations during
their stay here. The fancy ball at Alstone-lawn has been sue-
(-ceded by a second, which was given by
~the lion. Airs. Frank-
land, and by a third, which was kept up last night to a late
hour, at Mrs. Hamilton's; many of the characters were good,
and all three went off with much spirit. We never recollect so
nitwit gaiety, and at the same time such social feelings which
pervade the society in the winter, the town being very full.—
The improvements at the Montpellier Spa are upon a very
extended scale; they are proceeding very rapidly, and arc ex-
pected to be cempleted 1y the litter end of may.
On Wednesday evening Air. Secretary Peel left town on
visit to the Earl of Verulam, et his seat at Verulam, near St.
Albans, to join a shooting party for a few days.
The Lord Mayor gave a splendid dinner to the Court of
Aldermen sod City officers on Tuesday.
Mr. Rayne has retired to the Continent. The establishment
in York-terrace is but II months old. The plate is very superb,
and among the articles classed under this head is a presenta.
(ion gold snug: box, with a portrait of Littonaparte, which is
understood to have been a gift from him to Marshal Ney.

WATERLOO ROAD.—The hint WO the week
cave the trustees of this road, with regard to an
imperfect fence placed over a dangerous preci-
pice, between the Bridge and Stamford-street,
has been since substantially secured by an efficient
railing, boarded high enough to prevent a chance
of accident.

RPMAttICATILE DAY.—ThiS day h tho annivera
miry of Saint Fabian : he was the nineteenth Bishop of Rome,
and ascended the Papal Chair in $4.36, Wag the successor of St.
Anterus. Having .held the dignity for fifteen years, he was
martyred at the commencement of the persecution under Dc,
tilts. lie was a Roman by birth, and remarkable for the purity
of his life and zeal in promoting Christianity. This day.is also
remarkable as the anniversary of tiw execution of Elisabeth
Barton, commonly called the Holy Maid of Kent, a religious
impostor, with her contederates, in the tisne of Henry VIII., at
Tyburn, 1b34; of the meeting of the third Parliament of
Charles the First, .1620; death of David Garrick, 177:t ; and of
America being declared an Independent State by England,
1703.

The Moniteur of the 13th inst. says—the
failure of M. lixttnvr, Mayor and Notary of St.
Denys, who has disappeared, carries ruin and
desolation among a number of families in this
Commune. lie wits the depository of fortunes
both great and small, and both parties are the
dupes of his knavery. Widows have lost their
dowry, minors their fortune, workmen their
hard-earned savings,and capitalists their moneys
which they fancied they had deposited out of the
reach of the trickery of stock-jobbing. M. BAtt-
DET'S appearance being that of a sage rather than
a sinner, and withal very reserved, the most ge-
neral confidence was placed in him. Ile was ad.
dieted to no species of luxury—he had no taste
for expense of any sort, either as to his house or
his person—in short, ho was, as it turns out, a
very Mafia Te. It is to be hoped the laws will
yet be made to reach this arch-hypogritet
SEA GULLS.—Yesterday morning an immense
flight of sea gulls were seen in the neighbour-
hood of Brantford ; several of them were shot
near Twickenham Ayot, by some bargemen.
These birds are very rarely seen so high up the
river, and is said to be indicative of the approach
of severe weather.
