PARISIAN FASHIONABLES.
PARIS, AIATICII 4.

The Carnival, with all its noisy revelry, is at end,
and it is argued, that for many years past we have not
had a gayer one. There have been more balls than in
former winters ; and it is worthy of remark, how much
politics here connect themselves with amusements, that
our dances have been subject to their influence.—Thus
dining this Carnival the Royalists have been the most
distinguished on ‘,‘ the light fantastic toe," while the
Liberals have, many of them, condemned themselves
to gloomy inactivity. Accordingly, Lafitte, who. was
wont formerly to give two or three splendid ballh'i
has not given one this winter. The .Marshals Soult •
and Suchet each gave a grand ball. Among the
Foreign Ambassadors, Rizzo di 'Borg° has outdone
all his brethren, by his fete on Saturday night.
Ile has a rival, however, in Mr. Rothschild, the.
banker, who, on Monday night, had collected at his,
house all the beauty and fashion of the Court and City,
and his ball may be put on a level wi:h that given by
M. de' Chateaubriand a week ago. As there are no
English here of high rank, there have not been any roils
to attract attention. Three weeks ago Lady Elizabeth
Stuart gave, not a ball, but a soiree dansante, to a smal
number of persons.

OR AY-ORR).
DRURY-LANE TIJEATRE.—The second Oratorio took
place L►st night at this Theatre. The first part consisted
of a Selection from the works of HANDEL. Miss STE.
PIIENS gave Angels ever bright and fair with so much
excellence, that the deepest silence reigned throughout
the House whilst she unbound

" the chains that tie
The hidden soul of melody."
A universal call for an encore shook the Theatre, and
was instantly obeyed. The same justice was done to
Luther's Hymn, which was sung with surprising taste
and effect by Mr. BRAIIAM, and was called for a third
time, though the humanity of the audience ultimately
prevailed over its thirst for gratification. At the end of
the first Act a Mrs. ANDERSON played Rule Britannia,
with variations by. Rico, and obtained much deserved
applause. The first part of HAYDN'S Creation followed,
after which Mr. NICHOLSON gave a Concerto on the
flute, in which he introduced the air of M lodging is
on the cold ground, which was rapturously encored.
A selection from vatious masters formed the• third
part, in which a young Lady of the name of MELvtLx.z
sang a duet with Mr. Bamialt, Amor possente nume, in
which she displayed great powers of- execution, with
much flexibility and sweetness of voice, and obtained
very bleat applause. A duet by Miss PATON and Mr.
SINCLAIR, Riccardeche vengo, was also much admired.
