The Gay World was on Saturday very much .
pleafed by a Breakfail from Earl WESTMOICE:
LAND. The vilitors amounted to nearly zoo of
the fir dillinftion in town.

A moft fplcndid Ball and Supper was given oil
Friday by the Hon. Mrs. BOSCAW EN, at her apart:
ments in St. lamcs's Palace, at which all the beauty
and falhion in town were prefent, to celebrate the
birth-day of her charming Eleve, the amiable ,
Mils TICKLE, the acce.mplifhed niece of R. B.
SHERIDAN,ECI. M. i . whn yefterday completed her
fixteenth year. The ball was opened at elc:•en
o'clock by Mr. SKEFFINGTON, and the youthful
Miftrefs of the Ceremonies, in a minuet, being both
attired in the ti,:andh coftume on the oecafiun.
Mils TICKLE was drelfed in a dark Spanifh robe of
brown filk, with Beeves vandvked, after the fafhion
of that country, relieved by a petticoat of white•
Patin, richly embroidered with foil aid filver, her'
hair limply egid d'un d'or, gracefully let off a
chapeau de Madrii, in which a fuperb plume of oh,
inch feathers was becomingly arnirzed.
Mr. SKEFFINGTON, on his entrée, was prefented
by his blooming partner with an elegant chapeau
Glanc retrosli, which agreeably contrafled the
fable plume with which'it was adorned; a black
fattin manteau d'Efpagne completed his metamor-
phofe for the evening. The graceful cafe with
which they both acquitted themfelves, excited ge-
neral admiration, and the bewitching and conde-
fccnding affability with which the lovely rofi-lui
of the evening conduacd the entertainment, falci.
natcd every brhilder, and &fluted the mna fen&

affembly, which unwillingly feparated at a late
