of the real .state of the concerns of the Company.—
• To this bill the defendants demurred, nia the grounds
Of want of parties, and* want of equity.. The case
was argued at great length in the course of last

MU an appeal allowed thew to the Ptley Council if the

a service of the aatere of pilotage. The 'salvors were
pilots, and were employed as, pilots ; although it had
been represented on the other side that the distress of
the vessel distinguished the service from mere pilotage,
and that the vessel could not have got on without the
pilot's assistance. 'But the distress of the vessel made
no material difference in the natOre of the pilot's duty.
Afier consulting with the Trinity Masters, the Learned
Judge announced the opinion of those Gentlemen to
be, that the General Palmer could have reached fit.
Helen's without assistance; that it was the bounden
duty of pilots to go on board all vessels in digress, and
to pilot them into a place of safety, without making a
claim for salvage on such a ground. The Learned
Judge Concurred in this opinion, and pronounced the
tender of 501. sufficient, directing the question of 'costs

GRAND FANCY BALL.

Yam' "2 Donn! 1111MAIM= ADVIRTIII2II.
Among the many •aplandid -neves of gay festivity
which it•has fallen to us to witness since the arrival of
the Marquis of ANGLISR! in this Country, the Grand
,Fancy Ball arthe Rotunda, in aid of the Funds of the
Idendicity Institution, iv entitled to hold, perhaps, the
most distinguished place. The vast extent of the as-
ernblage of rank, wealth, beauty, and fashion, that
Umbined to grace this fete,' •was such as to render it
onrivalled by any former similar occasion. The pre-
parations were on a scale that evinced at once a liberal
and refined taste. • The great Round Boom, the princi-
pal apartment, was brilliantly lighted up. by a pPoto-
mion of rich chandeliers, which shed a. lustre .over the
gay scene that moot be well described. In short, the
numerous and brilliant throng—at eir superb and varied
dresses--;thegrandeur of 'the whole entertainment, were
such as to delight the mind, and 'impress it with every
feeling of gritification whirls taste and pleasure can in-
duce. There were at least 1,000 persons present, from
irhich may be inferred the •gratifying amount of the
receipts.
At precisely a quarter past ten o'clock his Excellency
the LORD LIROTZNANT, the Ladies PAORT, the Coun-
tess Of ERROLL, Lord GEORGIC HILL, Baron, TUYLL,
Colonel GOSSITT, Sir COLQUHGUN GRANT, &c. &c.
entered .the room. His Excellency was received, on
alighting from his carriage at the principal entrance,
by the LORD MAYOR, Sheriffs, and entire body .of the
Stewards, and conducted round the room,.the orchestra
playing .4 GOD save the King."
Amongst so multifarious an assemblage of charac-
ters, we scarcely know how to select a few. The cha-,
rulers were assumed from the Drama, from nature,
and from fancy, to which were added uniforms and
Court dresses. The following were, perhapkamongst
the most conspicuous that contributed to the gaiety and
amusement of the joyous throng:
Mr. Lucas looked Williams to life; was the first who attracted
his Excellency's attention. " Mr. Williams. bow do your “ Very
well, please your Excellency; will I have the honour of seeing you

" Only nne penny a piece, Opulemen," cried Mr. Ames Mt Ma.
bon, an Irish ballad singer; "and here is the Mal:gals; won't
your Ificellency take a ballad r With pleasure, Sir."—" And
sureirryoursilf that's welcome (rejoined the ballad singer), but
your fikscellency and the Ladies will bear the remainder of my
song." lie then continued his song, and soon disposed of his Wadi
to advantage..
Mr. Onerftiseyo3tephen'ogreen, se Judy O'Doyle. a housemaid,
! search of a situation, gave, ample specimens of her Industry and
cleanliness by sweeping off the floor whatelret dusts bad the Misfor-
tune to come in contact with her long brash, while ever and anon
" romp losing Judy" was healed about by a' group of jolly tars in
" gallantry robust."

• We cannot conclude this hasty and, conrquetuty,
imperfect sketch, without noticing, io terms of the
highest praise,: the us banity of manners and polite atten-
tion which characterised the Stewards in every particu-
lar that could add to the accommodation and enjoy-
mein of the company, which excited general admiration;
and at the boor of separation, nothing but expressions
of unalloyed 'delight and gratification were heard.
A division of the 7th Hussars patroled the streets to
preserve order, while a strong party of police, from the
bead office, succeeded, by their active and well directed
cautions, ih maintaining the most perfect regularity
and even tranquillity in the passages at the principal
entrances, mod wherever they were stationed.
