HIS MAJESTY'S GRAND BALL.

The KING gave a Ball at his Palace in St. James's,
do Monday evening, to which the members of the
koyal Family, the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers
and their Ladies, and a numerous party of the Nobility
and Gentry, Mere invited.

Preparations for the accommodation of the party had
been made in the State apartments and other parts of,
the Palace. The room adjoining the ball room was',
converted into a second ball room, in order to give
ample space to the dancers. Both rooms were chalked
pith repte.entations of foilage in various wreaths and
devices. The orchestra for the quadrille band was
equally divided between the two rooms one half being
en either side of the partition which separated them.
The windows of both the ball rooms had Italian
Canaletti blinds, on the outside, and fine gauze blinds,
aarwhich his Majesty's armorial badges were painted in
the in,idea

By means of these blinds the windows could be left open
during the night, and the apartments well ventilated,
without the slightest inconvenience being experienced
by any of the company. The Throne room was used
as the drawing room, and the King's closet as a card
room. In the Banquet room additional ventilators had
been formed for the better airing of the apartment, the
heat occasioned by the chandeliers Ste. being found
very oppressive at the late Juvenile Ball. The recesses
in the windows of the whole of these apartments and
the different fire-places were filled with the choicest
e 'wets and plants.
The Armoury Leading to the Presence Chamber was,
in the present instance, set apart for the Band of the
Life Guards; who were stationed here in their State
Dresses, and who played several pieces in the course of
the night.
Soon after nine o'clock a detachment of Life Guards,
preceded by their Band, in their State Dresses, took up
their station at the eastern entrance to the Palace, in a
line parallel to the Royal German Chapel.
The Under Porters, the Mar:halt:vs), and the Gentle.
men Porters, were in attendance, as were also his
Majesty's Pages, in their State Dresses, together with
Messrs. Messenger and Dobell, the State Pages. A
party of the Yeomen Guard were on duty, and were
stationed at short distances in the avenues leading to
the two grand staircases, and also from the top of the
staircases to the entrances to the State Rooms. The
party appeared in their coronation dresses.
The company began to arrive a few minute: before
tee o'clock, and continued to set down very rapidly,
nll eleven.
The Duchess of KENT, attended by the Bareness de
6,tacith and Sir John Conroy, arrived in the Palace
Court Yard about ten o'clock. The band of the third
Regiment of Foot Guards, which was stationed with
the King's Guard in the Court Yard, received the Royal
Duchess on her arrival, with " GOD save the King,"
which was repeated by the band of the Life Guards as
the Duchess passed through the Armoury, in which
they were stationed, to the State Apartments. The
Duke and Duchess of GLoucesrut arrived about the
same time with their Suite, in two carriages, at the en-
trance in the Ambassador's Yard. Their Royal High-
wises were attended by Lady Caroline Legge, Colonel
Higgins, and Major Forster. Prince LROPOLD. attended
by Sir Robert Gardiner, and the Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCR, successively arrived, and were severally re..l
cured by the bands playing 4, GoD save the King."--..
The Duke of CUMBERLAND entered by the Kings pri-
vate entrance.

The KING entered the State Apartments a felt minutes
after en o'clock, dressed in the uniform of a Field,
Matshal, and wearinz the insignia of three different
Order,. His MsJerry received the company in the
mug condescending and gracious manner.
About half-past ten o'clock, the Kato, having taken
his teat in the Ball Room, surrounded by his Royal
Relatives, dancing commenced. The Band consisted
of thirty performers of the first-rate talent. Owing to
the superior accommodation afforded by the addition of
the second Ball Room, four sets were enabled to be

danced. Quadrilles, with waltzing at intervals, were
danced during the night.
Refreshments were served to the Company in the
Picture Gallery during the evening.
At one o'clock it was announced to his Majesty that
the supper was served in the Banquet Room. His,
Majesty left his seat and led the way to the apartment
with his Royal Sister, the Duchess of GLot:desraft,
followed by the company. The Band of the Life
Guards commenced at this moment playing a march,
and continued to petforin several pieces during the
repast.
The supper was laid out in the Banquet Room, in a
style similar in most respects to that of the Juvenile'
Ball; in the present instance there was a greater supply
of plate. A sideboard was fitted up at the south end
of the apartment, with damask drapery, on which were
arranged several splendid specimens of gold plate.
Atter supper dancing was resumed. At three o'clock
his Majesty retired ; the Quadrille Band played " Gon
save the King." as his Majesty passed through the suite
of State Rooms. The Ball then concluded, and the
members of the Royal Family and the test of the com-
pany took their departure.

About five o'clock this morning great alarm was pro-
duced by its being discovered by the watchman that
part of the 4prensises of Mr. MYLOY, silversmith. oppo-
site Exeter 'Change, in the Strand, was in flames. The
alarm soon caused the arrival of the Exchange, the
Sun, other engines, and plenty of &alien, when, by
their (unions, the fire was subdued, being confined to
one room in the house.

RoaaaaY.---A young man of smart appearance con-
trived to insinuate himself into the good opinion of a
simple countrt girl, who is in the service of a Gentle-
man in Manchester-street, Mary-la-bonne, and who was
left to take care of the house in the absence of the fa-
mily. He drank tea with her on Sunday, and then per•
suaded her to take a walk, proposing to put the key of
the house into his pocket. He afterwards desired her
to wait at the top of a street, while he left her for a
short time, and sever came back ; and, when she re-
turned, she found the house wairobbed of a gold watsh,
several gold chains, many valuable rings, necklaces,
,brooches, &c.

Among the presents destined to the Schah of NUM
by the Emperor of Russia, and which are customary in
the East atter the conclusion of peace, is a bedstead of
extraordinary magnificence, and which has been ex-
posed at the Emperor's palace of Tauride, in the ca-
pital, for public view, preparatory to its being sent to
Persia. It is entirely made of crystal, and is accessible
by steps of the same material, all worked in imitation
of large diamonds incrusted in solid harm Oa each
side there are spouts meant to eject scented Water,
which, by its murmurs, invites sleep. It is crowned by
a large chandelier, which spreads light in such a man-
ner over itself and the rest of the frame, as to give to
the whole the splendid appearance of millions of dia-
monds reflecting their brilliancy at once,

Livros is of course the hero of the piece. He pea
sonates a Mexican merchant, who, born within the
sound of Bow bell, has followed the chace of Fortune
through the New World with some degree of success,
and, returning home, resolves at once to change and
better hi, condition. With him matrimony (in accord.
ance with the derivation of the punster.) is neither more'
nor less than a 44 Matter-a• money," and he fixes his af-
fections on the portion of Kitty Corderoy, daughter and
heiress of a substantial dealer in cottons in the city.
Bat an unexpected stroke of good luck occurring,
Mudberry determines upon looking higher, and trans-
fers the stock of his affections to another account.
With this view, he addresses Amelia, sister to a wealthy
banker, from the pursuit of whom he is only diverted
by the intelligence that his uncle has recently died,
leaving him the successor to a fortune of half a mil-
lion. Felix is not only fortunate bat ambitious,
and the banker's sister is abandoned like the cot.
ton.seller's daughter, for the pursuit of a Lady of qua-
lity. 111 appears to see no reason why the aristocracy
of wealth should not identify itself with the aristocracy
of blood, and accordingly addresses Lady Charlewood,
the young and beautiful widow of a man of rank. Our
hero has no o reached the topmost round of the ladder;
but, like many other celebrated persons, only for the
purpose of being " turned off." His fall is more rapid
than his ascent. A ship which, through A cunning but
improvident penuriousness he had neglected to insure,
is, after its safe arrival in harbour, burnt to the water's
edge: and a will is discovered, by which his deceased
uncle bequeaths the bulk of his property to the slighted
Kitty Corderoy. Mr. Madberry's proposals for the hand
of Lady Charktoood are rejected, that Lady uniting her
fortunes with Mr. Mammonlon. He retrogrades to the
now wealthy Kitty with equal ill success, for the cotton
seller's daughter has dedicated her affections to Chris •
topher Hiins, her father's confidential clerk and prin.
pal warehouseman. By Amelia, who prefers an insipid
Earl, the hapless Mudlierry is also repulsed.
LISTON'S part is an amusing mixture of vulgarity
mid conceit, and the performer made the most of it.
As usual, he looked unutterable, and did inimitable
things. We have seldom seen any thing finer than his
mode of blending together the opposite and apparently
iireconcileable qualities of shyness and selicomplacency
which enter into the composition of the character of
' Felix Mudberry. He is disconcerted by the merest trifle,
yet thinks himself irresistible, and presents his mistress
with a nosegay, rivalling a may-bush in size, and a
winter sallad in beauty and variety, by way of delicate
attention. Jack Pointer, an agreeable factotum and
fashionable match-maker—one who starts game for
for others to run down—was played by JONI!' with his
'customary polish and vivacity. Mr. RossaLia Chiis-
gopher was duly insipnificant, and conversant with stay-
laces. Mrs. DAVISON assisted the dramatist in carica-
turing s Countess. Coors* dressed his banker worse
than a banker', clerk. Miss I. PATON looked pretty,
and Mips Tare proud in their repective characters.
Miss Love's Kitty was redolent of the boarding-school ;
and Mrs. Jwisis played a city Malaprop with great
vigour. ,
The piece, which, we believe, is in part an importa-
tion from the othei side of the Channel, can boast of
some amusing situations, some striking characters, and
some smart dialogue. In fact, it is a farce in three acts,
but a diverting one; and in the absence of better things,
will continue to amuse the frequenters of this theatre
for a time, as it did last night.
COVENT-GARDEN.
A new opera, under the title of Carron-side, or the
Fete Champetre, was last evening produced at this
theatre, the music of which is the composition of Signor
Literati. His opera succeeded to the fullest extent—
and when its repetition was announced, there was not
a single dissentient truice—a gratifying proof, not only
of the composer? merit, but of the capability of au
Bnglish audience to appreciate it. The result is not,,
however, wholly attributable to the composer—the
author has done much—the plot is well arranged, the
language exceedingly pure and agreeable, and the poetry
of the songs more than usually beautiful and expressive.
The following sketch will afford some idea of the plot.
Tt.e scene is of course in Scotland, by the Carron-side—
ana the characters exclusively Scotch. Colones' Camp-
bell (Mr. BLANCHARD), has one fair daughter, whom
he loves passing well, and determines to marry to a
young naval Officer, Captain Allan Lindsay (Mt. SA•
Pro) but the affections or the gallant sailor are already
engaged by a pretty protege of the Colonel's, Blanch
Mackay (Miss STEPHENS) who is a reputed grand.
daughter of an honest old trumpeter of the Scotch
Greys, and a faithful follower of the Campbells (Mr.
BARTLEY). The sailor has a brother, a gay Cornet, to
whom the heart of the Colonel's daughter is secretly
plighted. • Poetic justice is therefore easily accorded,
and, after a variety of eventful incidents, all parties are
made happy—the Pair Blanch turning out to be the
daughter of Mrs. Campbell by a former husband. The
less prominent personages of the piece are Sandy Sato
derson (Mr.Kaaurv), and his wife Janet (Miss GOWARD).
The first act of the Opera passes somewhat heavily,
redeemed only by the singing of Miss STEPHENS, Miss
CAwsa, and Miss GOwARD. In the second act there
are some very spirited and effective scenes, in wkiCh
BARTLIT, Mias STEPHENS, BLANCHARD, and min
Gowarco, performed• with very great ability. lbe
composer is under very considerable obligations to
those who bad to give effect to his production. Miss
STEPHENS was in excellent voice, and exerted herself to
the utmost. She was tapturously encored is several of
her songs, especially in one, in the first act, commencing
" Boot and Saddle, Bonnie Scot," and la her con-
cluding song of the second Act, I 4 The die it cast)
in vain I strove." SAPIO and WOOD also gave the
composer and author very efficient support. A Duet
in the first Act, commencing " O'er the billows
let me roam," was extremely well executed, and rap-
turously encored. A concerted piece in the second
Act, "Row the bit boatie fra' Clachan to Coie," in
which Miss Cnersar Miss STEPHENS,' Miss GOWARD,
Messrs. WOOD, SAPIO, and KEZIAT, took pans, was
applauded, and deservedly so—it possesses
rllsT
sufficient of itself to establish a reputation for its
meritrsptu
author. BLANCHARD played the Old General in his
best style. BARTLRYWAS atrexceUent Donald Mach,
and Miss Gowano and Kluane did all they could tot
the author, who has done nothing for them. The Piece
was announced for repetition on Thursday, and the:
announcement recoiled with uoadmeus approbation.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
SETTLING FOE THE DitWilt AND OAkg.
The amngemenri of the steams' for the *bore Stakes tool
dpine yesterday at Tattersall's, the room and yard being crowded
daring the whole of the afternoon. Additional leconunodadoos

were peotided foe the occasion, tables having been placed In *adage
parts of the yard, and the doors kept well guarded, to keep out all,
those who were not subscribers, unites on the payment of Gad
sovereign, by which meahs much confusion was avoided. The.
settling occupied the whole of the day, and, as usual, was disturbed
by an occasional wrangle I but the most enpleseant part of it wee
the absence of a Gallant Captain, whose deficit Is stated at between
thirty aid forty thousand pounds, and of whose paying small hopes
are entertained. That much &Imlay and inconvenience was occs-
sioned by this, may be easily credited; foe, besides being of ityelf
very heavy sum to keep out of the market, it had the effect of dis-
arranging many other accounts, and preventing their adjortment:
Some of the betting men are kit very hard by she absentee--otte of
the principal loses about £7.000 by him, another Gentleman suffers
by him to the amount of near 03.000, and a third near X 4,000, and
many others in serious sums; some who were good winners by the
races are, in consequence, losers in balance; and a select few are
fortunate enough to profit by the circumstance, having been losers
to the Gentleman alluded tot his engagements oa the St. Leger
being very limited, the books in that race will not suffer muck.
The amount lost on the Derby is great, and would have been still
heavier but for the dead beat, which afforded many, who stood to
lose on one or other of the horses, an opportunity of hedging. Th•
Yorkshire people are the greatest sufferers. The Colonel having
been backed by them to a large amount; the winnings go chiefly to
the west end of the metropolis, and the Newmarket people are also
good winners. Looking at the amount of money depending on die
Derby and Oaks, and the amount paid yesterday, we should say al
least one-third remains to be accounted for.
Towards the evening, a few bets were made in the Great St.
Leger, 3 to 1 being taken about Velocipede, 6 to I offered agst The
Colonel, and 7to 1 agst limy Bedlam. In the course of the after-
noon, Mr. Molony sold Upas to Sur Lewitt Glyn for ,E2OO.

ROWING MATCH.
Monday a very interesting Rowing Match, which excited great
attention, tookplaee between some of the apprentices to watermen,
at Hammersmith, for a sweepstakes of AEI° and some minor prises.
The baits started from u the' Crab Tree Tavern, to the West
Middlesex Water Works and back to the Hammersmith Bridge.
Several heats took place; but the chief attraction appeared to be
the last heat, between Charles Fribourg and James Mallet, which
was contested in a very excellent style, and was won by iriboora
by about a boat's length.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Sheppard, the Yorkshire runner, attended at Lord's Orieket.
ground, on Monday, to perform his match of running ten *lke
within an hour, fur a wager of £2OO. The ground was in very bad
condition, in consequence of the rain, but the terms being 4* play
or pay," no postponement could take place. He lost the. marsh by
one minute.
