RECOLLECTIONS OF THE STATE

BALL.

Whatever mign have been the motive which led to the choice
of a period so heavy and unpicturesque in costume as that of
George 11. for the state ball, the success of the experiment, bold
and hazardous as it was, far exceeded any reasonable expectation.
The English are said not to understand masquerading. They have
one character, which they fill well, but they cannot pass out of
that character and enter into others at pleasure. The exhibition
at Buckingham Palace on Friday, however, went far to show that
not even the French themselves could excel them in the aptitude
with which they adopted the costume of a defunct age, and ren-
dered that which at first sight appears amost grotesque capable of
the most graceful varieties. The contrast between the costume
of the present day and that chosen by her Majesty for the
state ball is so decided, and the manners incident on
those costumes are so totally different, that the success
of the experiment is the more remarkable. But whether that
success would have been so great had the costume been confined to
the Court of George 11. alone is extremely doubtful. Many of the
noble masqueraders who figured in the English dresses of the
period looked well no doubt; but much of the picturesqueness and
variety of the scene was contributed by the dresses of the French
cotemporary Court, and those of the Highlanders attached to the
Pretender. To the ladies, as usual, the chief praise must be given.
Almost without exception they looked remarkably well ; and,
what was infinitely more difficult, they very generally fell with a
natural ease into the gait and courtly stateliness of the period.
With the gentlemen it was often different. They looked well the
characters they represented, and their costume was perfect, but they
failed to catch the peculiar manners of the time, and there-
fore did not so completely realise the picture. Perhaps the most
amusing part of the scene was to notice the singular effect which
the different costumes had in changing the character and general
appearance of those who would be among the most distinguished in
modern society for elegance and grace. Some of those upon whom
one would have fixed as being the most likely, from their fine
forms and intellectual countenances, to set off the peculiar dress,
so associated in our minds with the greatest names in war, politics,
and literature, turned out the most insignificant and disappointing;
while others, whom one would have expected only to look at and to
laugh at, proved very respectable courtiers or very formidable war-
riors. It is not often that great warriors and statesmen, in this
age of formal plainness, can be caught wandering from the range
to which their caution limits them ; but if the Royal will was
potent enough to induce them for the amusement of the hour to
don such unwonted habiliments, it is worth while to ob.
serve how those who, perhaps, do not entertain the
highest opinion of the wisdom of their great.grandfathers ac-
quitted themselves in those ancestors' clothes. The most promi-
nent men were, however, not those who attempted this kind of
hereditary personation. And perhaps we need not be so surprised
at this when we reflect how rarely great men transmit their talents
as well as their titles to their posterity. More interest was felt
about the living Sir Robert Peel, or Lord Palmerston, or Lord
John Russell, than in the descendants of the Pelhams, the Shel.
burner, or any of those who, during the last century, have guided
public affairs. Sir Robert Peel, though in a comparatively plain
Court dress of the period, looked remarkably stately ; he might
have stepped out ef the frame of a cotemporary portrait. Lord
Palmerston, strange to say, seemed to shrink under his ample
costume; while Lord John Russell looked twice his ordinary size
in the full wig and capacious coat. We pass over a multitude of
really excellent specimens of costume, which were inter-
esting only because so remarkably striking and correct,
to enumerate a few which were interesting en ac.
court of their wearers. The Duke of Wellington ap.
peared in a field marshal's uniform of the era. It is said to have
been intended for that ef the Duke of Cumberland, but there was
nothing particular to distinguish it. As if to show how unfavour.
able the peculiar style of costume was to some of those in whom
the most interest was felt, this dress of the Duke so utterly dis-
guised him that, but for his well-known features, recognition would
have been impossible. Almost any close-fitting military dress of
the period would have been preferable. As it was, the scarlet coat
I hung loosely about him, and the nether garments were-so ample as
to give him a muck more aged and shrunken appearance than he
would have had in a more becoming costume. On the other hand,
I the Earl of Cardigan excited no little attention. He wore the uni.
form of the 11th Dragoons at Culloden, and with the costume,
which became him extremely, he contrived to assume the
portentous bearing and the true jack-boot stride and swagger.
The Marquis of Londonderry, also, upon the same prin-
ciple, looked very dashing and imposing as a cavalry officer of
the period. Lord Morpeth presented a very grave burlesque of
some ancestral Howard ; and Lord Stanley might have been Mis-
taken for the resuscitated spirit of one of his noble forefathers, so
complete was the illusion. Lord Ellenborough was a very con-
spicuous character. He wore one of the most stiff and angular
court dresses of the time. His Lordship, since his return from his
eastern Imperatorship, has shorn those luxuriant locks of his on
which his satirical opponents were wont to snake merry. Perhaps
it was to compensate himself for the loss that on this occasion he
invested his head with an outrageous wig of gigantic capacity,
under which even his large features shrank to nothing. The me_
dusa submitted to a course of hair-powder could not have pre.
seined a more monstrous spectacle; and, mounted on the strange
and ungraceful costume his Lordship chose, this wig appeared still
more absurd.

BANKRUPTCIES SUPERSEDED.

gate-street, City.

Sir James Graham, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, the Duke of Bucking-
ham, Mr. Hallam, and Lord Denman, were among those who best
supported the assumed character. Lord Lyndhurst came in his
Chancellor's dress, and when the circumstance was remarked
upon, his answer was, " Ohl the Lord Chancellor, you know,

Not many years since, a few enterprising individuals enter-
tained the project of running Iron Steam.boats between London-
bridge and Chelsea, calling on the way at Blackfriars'-bridge,
Waterloo-bridge, Hungerford -pier, Lambeth.stairs, and Vauxhall.
The public soon discovered the convenience those beats afforded,
and have since most liberally patronised thern. This encourage-
ment could not fail to stimulate and encourage the Directors to the
attainment of greater objects; and a short time since, they deter-
mined upon making an increase to the number of their boats, in
order to extend their journey to Kew, one of the most delightful
villages on the river. This spot it is intended to reach in the
short space of forty minutes, at the moderate charge of fourpence,
so that the distance from London-bridge to Kew may now be ac.
complished for eightpence. On Monday last the Latta Rookh and
Childe Harold, two of the new junction boats, made their first
voyage on the bosom of that river whereon they are henceforth to
ply. The directors availed themselves of this opportunity to give
a grand entertainment to a large party of friends, and upwards of
)20 ladies and gentlemen were invited to partake of the festivities,
and join in the pleasure associated with the excursion.
The Lalla Rookh and Childe Harold took their de.
parture from the Cadogan Pier, Chelsea, between twelve and one
o'clock ; the Lallah Rookh conveying a military brass band, and
the Childe Harold the Directors and their guests. The vessels
then pursued their way up the river, amidst the firing of grenades,
and the rejoicings of the villagers, passing between scenery of the
most lovely description, and with whose charms scarcely an inha-
bitant of this great metropolis is unacquainted. The speed of the
vessels was found to have been so great on arriving at Kew, that
the Directors determined to gratify the company with a sight of
Richmond. ♦ccordingly the steam was put on, the vessels were in
motion, and in an incredily short space of time they arrived at the
spot; and here we must not forget to mention, that under a broil-
ing sun, an ample supply of delicious ices was prepared by the ser-
vants of Mr. Sweeting, the eminent fishmonger of Lad-lane, by a
machine which has been patented by Mr. Masters. The party then
returned to Kew, and on the lawn of the Rose and Crown tavern a
spacious marquee was erected for their reception ; but previously
to partaking of a splendid dejeuner-a-la-fourchette, which had
been prepared, a ♦isit was proposed to the Botanic Gardens,
which are daily open to the public. Here most of the
individuals assembled who had accompanied the Directors, and a
more beautiful sight we never beheld. The walks are delightfully
laid ont, and the thousands of exotic plants to be seen here, there,
and everywhere, excite:the admiration and elevate the contempltive
mind to the glory of the great Creator. On the return to the
marquee, the table was found to groan under the most luxurious
viands, together with the choicest wines. The Directors had
evidently spared no expense to render their banquet acceptable;
and certainly no entertainment was ever more handsomely served
up, nor more generally done justice to. The delicious wines of
France flowed in abundance, and every one present was in the
highest spirits. After the deje finer, several toasts were proposed
and appropriate speeches made. W. Chaplin, Esq., the Chairman
of the Directors, and to whose exertions and politeness the corn •
pany were particularly indebted for the enjoyment experienced by
the excursion, observed, in a very neat address, that if the public,
and especially the ladies, would patronise the new undertaking as
liberally as they had done the old, the Directors were prepared,
before finishing their labours, to push their enterprise to Ox •
ford I Mr. Leman echoed the Chairman's sentiments, and said
that as one of the Directors, he would not be found back-
ward in promoting any scheme for the advantage of the
public ; the cheap rate, he added, at which it was determined to
run between Chelsea and Kew, would secure patronage, and be the
making of those little villages which nestle on the banks of the
Thames. At 7 o'clock several gentlemen began to think of re.
turning home; but the chairman having intimated that they had
no " Caudle Lecture" to fear, inasmuch as they were almost to a
man accompanied by a female protector, in the shape of a wife, a
quadrille party was formed on the lawn, and there to "Jullien's 1
first set," the ladies and gentlemen tripped it to measured time,
until the declining sun warned them to depart. The boats were
then got in readiness ; the hand preceded the company, and in a
short time, the vessels were on their way home, amidst the huzzas
of the whole population of Kew. The Lalla Rookh and Childe
Harold did their duty delightfully. These beautiful iron steamers,
draw only fifteen inches of water ; they are by far the swiftest
boats on the river, and are admirallg calculated for the navigation
abo►e bridge The boats were built by Messrs. Ditchburn and
Mare, at Black wall, and for symmetry, elegance and workmanship,
are unsurpassed; their engines, which were made at the mann
factory of Messrs. Penn and Sons, worked with chronometrical
precision. Both Mr. Ditchburn and Mr. Penn were present to 1
hear the praises bestowed upon their skill and exertions.

The infant son of Lord and Lady Charles Welles-
ley was christened on Saturday at St. George's Church, Hanover-
square, in the presence of a se►ect fatally circle. The ceremony
was performed by the Hon. and Reverend Gerald Valerian Welles-
ley, the infant receiving the name of " Arthur." The Duke of
Wellington, the Earl of Manvers, and the Marchioness of Exeter,
were the sponsors, all of them attending in person.

SALE OF A CADETSIIIP.—Mr. John Henry Drew,
auctioneer, King William-street, and Mr. James Ballet, of Bay
water, were charged before Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough street,
on Saturday, with being concerned in negotiating for the sale of a
cadetship in the East India Company's service, in violation of the
theee James
49th statute of George 111., sec. 126, which makes such proceed-
ings a misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson attended to prosecute on be..

Coppard. The amount of the sale of this cadetship was one
thousand guineas, which was to be paid by Mr. Coppard
into the hands of Mr. Sprye, on the part of the two parties
at the bar, and other parties who were not, but who would
shortly be, before the Court. A gentleman named Mr.
Shank, formerly a director of the East India Company, was the
person through whose intercession and influence this appointment
was said to be promised by the parties accused. After a lengthened
investigation, Mr. Hardwick agreed to admit both parties to bail,
upon entering into their ewn recognizance for 500/., and ending
two sureties to be bound in the sum of 9001. each.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--A most melancholy
and fatal accident occurred on the line of the Birmingham and
Bristol Railway, about two miles on the Bristol side of the
Berkeley station, on Thursday last. The express train, which
leaves Bristol for Birmingham at four o'clock, was coming up the
line with great rapidity, having obtained the maximum speed of
about sixty miles an hour, when Mr. Slaughter (who was driving
the engine at the time) saw a woman standing on the bank, as if
about to cross the line : he instantly reversed the engine, and let
off the steam, and the engine-driver, who was standing near him,
blew the alarm whistle, but in an instant the train was upon and
over the poor woman. As soon as possible the train was
brought back, when a most shocking scene presented itself the
mangled remains of the woman lying along the rail in all directions
for as much as forty yards from the spot where she was struck.
The fragments of the body were picked up in a basket and a sack,
and removed to a cottage near the spot. The poor woman proved
to be an old person of the name of Elizabeth Nott, a widow, aged
84, living at Stinchcombe, and whia had been to see some friends
at Woodford, and at her return was crossing at a road (not a public
one) at the time of the fatal occurrence. The wind was blowing a
hurricane at the time, and the engineer observed that she had both
her hands up to her bonnet. An inquest was held the next d
before 'William Joyner Ellis, Esq., and after a
most I ay
patient and
protracted inquiry a verdict was returned of accidental death, with
a deodand of Is. on the engine. It is worthy of remark
that the
g
train had gone 400 or 500 yards after passing the
e spot of the
accident before it could be stopped, notwithstanding
the engines
had been reversed '2OO yards before coming up' to the place.--
Gloucester Journal.
On Saturday an inquest was held 1l
i etore Mr.
Wakicy, at the Royal Standard, Frederck.street, Hampstead.road
concerning the death of Mr. William Chadwicke, aged 40, the
proprietor of an extensive brewery in the neighbourhood. The
deceased had been married only a few weeks to a beautilftal woman.
From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Chadwicke had of late
indulged in habits of intoxication. On Wettnesday last he left
his eounting.house about three o'clock, telling, his clerk that be
should return in an hour. Nothing, however, was heard of him
till nearly one o'clock on Thursday morning, when he was brought
to his residence in a cab, in a perfectly stuptheel condition. A
surgeon was sent for, who pronounced Mr. Chadwicke to be la.
homing under the effects of poison. Emetics and the stomacb.purnp
were used but without effect, and the deceased expired about seven
o'clock the same morning. It was stated that the deceased was
somewhat embarrassed in money matters. A police-constable de-
posed to having seen the deceased at the door of a public house its
Dean-street, where he had been asleep for some time, but had
taken nothing to drink. The landlady had found under his chair
a bottle marked " Black Drops," and labelled "One drop equal to
four of laudanum." Two other bottles were found on his person
containing poison, equal altogether to half a pound of opium. The
wife of the deceased was sent for, who stated that she was unable
to account for his taking laudanum unless he was in trouble about
his business. The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased
died from the effects of an over-dose of laudanum, but whether
taken accidentally, or with a view to destroy life, there WU laa
sufficient evidence to prove."

AWAY COMMITTEES
(YESTERDAY.)

GROUP A.

SOUTH-EASTERN LINE.

The Committee met this morning at the usual hour, when the
following witnesses were called in favour of the above line :
Mr. Davis, surveyor, at Woolwich, who spoke to the advantage
to the people of Woolwich which would be derived from the
South_Eastern line, and to the inferiority of the North Kent line,
General Lord Bloomfield was then called, and stated that the
proposed North Kent line would interfere with the practising
ground for the artillery, and that as this was the only artillery
school in the kingdom, it was vitally important that the practice
should not be interfered with. His Lordship then gave evidence
as to the superiority of the South_Eastern over the North Kent
line as a means of communication between the Arsenal at Wool-
wich and the coast of Kent.

Colonel Barnly was then examined, and corroborated the evi.
.fence of Lord Bloomfield.

Major Sandelans, Deputy-Quartermaster-General at the Military
School, Woolwich, confirmed the previous evidence. He stated
that the ground at present used for military practice was not suffi.
cient for the purpose, and that any interference with that ground
would be highly detrimental. If the level of the ground was inter.
iered with it would destroy the school as a place of practice fur the
army. The concourse of people at the station would be a great
inconvenience.

'"*Mr. G. Warrener, tenant at the Pier Hotel at Erith, gave his
opinion that if the North Kent line were established, it would
destroy the trade of Erith, which would be improved by the South
Eastern line. Witness, having been some time ago owner of th
pier at Erith, read to the Committee an account of the annua
number of persons visiting Erith.
Other witnesses from Erith were then called, and confirmed the
opinion of Mr. Warrener.

Several witnesses from Stroud, Chatham, and Feversham were
then called to prove the general feeling in favour of the South-
Eastern and against the North Kent line.

Mr. AUSTIN, on the part of the Croydon Railway, handed in the
answers to the questions which had been asked by Mr. Merrewether
in the course of last evening, which, he said, they had no objection
to reply to.

After the examinatio❑ of several witnesses from Canterbury ,
from whom no point of any interest was elicited, the Committee
adjourned at four o'clock.

GROUP FF.
THE EDINZUR.GEL AND NORTHERN
RAILWAY.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usu
hour this morning, and proceeded with the negative evidence
this case of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway.

Mr. Nasmyth, Mr. Graham, Mr. Michaelson, and Mr. Drysdale,
were examined by Mr. AYroN, to show that the proposed line would
not bring coals from Lochkelly to Perth and Dundee. Coals
would be brought cheaper by the carts to Perth than they could be
by the proposed railway.

The case of the opponents closed at half-past three, when the
Committee adjourned till to-morrow.
Mr. Sergeant Bellasis will reply tomorrow.

GROUP GG.
GLASGOW JUNCTION'

The Committee, consisting of the Chairman, air. Evans, Mr.
Ncwdegate, Viscount Giiinston, Mr. :duntz, and Mr. Miles, sat
this day at twelve o'clock, at the Guidhall, Westminster.
Mr. George Bell was called by the promoters of the Bill to
speak to the amount of property which would be required for the
purposes of the line. He estimated the amount at some 96,0001.
The witness was cross-examined at considerable length by
Mr. SANDFORD and Mr. RUSSELL as to injury done to particular
houses, and the amount of compensation allowed in each case.

Mr. John Knight, manager of the goods traffic on the Glasgow
and Ayr Railwry, was called to speak to the number of passengers
who uPght be annually expected to travel by this junction line, if
completed from the termini of the different railways. The num.
ber, he estimated, was 3,000,000 of persons.

The witness was cross.examined by Mr. S►NDFORD, to show the
mode in which lip had taken the numbers. The whole was done
under his immediate inspection.

Several witnesses were called to speak to the trade which might
be expected on the line, the total of which was, that from pas-
-sengers, minerals, and a prospective trade, a sum of 24,0001. might
be calculated on.

This was the case for the promoters of the Bill.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then addressed the Committee for the
Clyde trustees. He contended that this project, if carried oat,
would materially injure the city, because it crossed the principal
streets by means of a viaduct, which, while ungainly in itself,
greatly incommoded the traffic of the city, and particularly of the
port, by travelling along the quay upow a level. It would be his
duty to bring another plan before the Committee, and he trusted
that after hearing the evidence of Mr. Walker, the eminent engi-
neer, they would feel it their duty to reject the project.
The Committee then adjourned at four o'clock.
