(pelt to preparations, expence, and company. the
molt Iplendid thing of the kind feen in the faftrion-
able circles this feafon.
The houfe is one of the heft adapted to give vela
to fuch entertainments, being very extenfive. The
ball-room is 40 feet by a 6, and it was on the above
night uncommonly brilliant. The chandelier in
the center of the room was magnificent. The
chalked floor was more than nfually beautiful; the
centre piece reprefented an Imperial crown, with
the Admirals of England under, incircled by a
mantle compofed of red and white roles, the thiftle,
and the fltamrock. Other fanciful devices were
introduced, among which were the Pato cs's fen
then, at the four corners of the room. The
whole had the appearance of crayon painting. The
ebmpany began to affemble at ten o'clock ; and
about half an hour after the ball was opened with
Sir David Master Blair, by Captain MURILAY, and
Lady H. Tows {HIND; next followed,

The fecond dance was Parifat's fierapile, and at
the conclufion of the third, Sir Char let Douglar.—
The company who danced amounted to about 25
couple. About the time of the Patrice's arrival
(Coon after twelve o'clock ), the crowd was fo great,
that although the mufic continued, the dancing
was put a flop to, and the harmony of the whole
fcene would have been deftroyed, had not the no.
ble Earl of A110'0414 with his fpirited partner.
made an opening, by dancing down the centre, to
the great difcompofure of Opera hats and fans.—
At half after one (upper was announced, which
was in every refpeet elegant. In the grand flipper
room, the library, and the parlours, (upper was
laid for tivo • hundred, but in confequence of the
company being more numerous than was expea-
ed, additional tables were fet out for too more :
there not being fttlficitnt, feveral of the tables
were replenifhed, and it was near near three before
the company returned to the ball-room. The
dancing recommenced with Se. Kilda's Berl, intro-
duced for the firft time aslt country dance ; reels,
and Strathfpeys. followed, until a quarter after fir,
when the mufie eeafed, and the company retired
to tha lower rooms, where tee, coffee, and choco-
late were leveed out. It scas nearly half after (even
before the whole of the company had retired. The
party amounted to above four hundred, and the
crowd was fo great that the Patrice of WALSS
could sot get to the ripper end of the ball room.
The greatprefure made the room excelfively warm,
many Ladies nearly fainted, and it was not with-
out great difficult.y they could get out of the apart-
ment. After flapper a part of the company retir-
ing to their carriages save room for the ref to pars
the evening to the purples for which it was de-
fined. tt was remarked that the Ladies were all
extremity well as well as richly deeded. The
blarclionefs of Semsever was attired in white
facia, with a head-drefs compofed of the Paradife
plume, a diamond crefcent and Ray in the front,
and a diamond gar behind ; the fleeces of her
Ladyfhip's chefs were feftooned up by rubies and
diamonds. The Counters of CLONDIELL wore a
white embroidered drefs ; her head-drefs was by
far the moll brilliant, being eompokd of a bandeau
of black velvet, enriched by numerous diamond
Bars around the head ; in the front. her Ladyfhip
