Mr. w.+-+1+.. Miss W....'.'
All Of whom were well dressed, and all Of whom
looked particularly imposing and beautiful.
There were a great many other very beautiful
girls both from New York and Brooklyn, whom our
limits will not allow us to particularize The wines
Of course, this momentous occasion, were Of the
very finest kind and the arrangements all the
most i'm proved fashionable system that has recently
reached us from Europe. But the most peculiar and
novel feature in this highly respectable, intelligent
and fashionable affair was the exquisite taste with
which castles and tastes and ranks were blended
or example, there at end Of the large audi
eHce room the highly respectable, intelligent and
wealthy fsancier Of Brooklyn, the Honorable Mr..

Baron Middleton, Of Middleton, county Warwick,
Hereditary High Steward Of the royal town Of SUIT
ton Coldfed, claiming descent in the right line from
the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas Of Eng
land and through him from the last Lord Of Eresby.
The talents and high birth, and lustrious birth and
breeding Of this gentleman are well known. His

On the face Of this, it is unnecessary to say more

store in this city, with his wife and family Then
was seen, for the first time in American fashionable
society, store porter shaking hands and chatting
costly, in drawing circle, with a wealthy and
titled fnancier,-and a porter's wife promenading
arm in arm with bankers wife. The honor Of
bringing about this new view Of fashionable society
belongs exclusively to Brooklyn; and is doubtless
intended to break up the odious monopoly Of rank
and fashion which the parrenxs Of New York have
so long prided themselves preserving, and Of
splitting into piecemeal the exclusive sets with
which wealth. and ignorance, and folly, and fashion,
in this magnificent metropolis. have hitherto sur
rounded themselves.
The idea is purely Partisan, and must, we feel
certain, meet with general appreciation, after the
bold example Of the Brooklyn fashionable circles,
and hereafter we must not feel surprised at an intro
ducton in the first circles to own shoe blacks,
washerwomen, and scullery maids. That ladies can
be made Of these latter the examples Of Ann Hyde,
Countess Of Clarendon and the first wife Of Coutts
the banker, sbundantly prove. The only question
for ration now is, "who will bell the catl'
In other words, who will cross the rubicon in the
city % New York, and initiate the purely Pari sian
and republican example Of the Brooklyn haul ton and
invite their own doncstics to hob and mob with them
like old familiar friends. That il will be attended
with most beneficial results none can deny; for the
young ladies at Mr.. Dssssssss party declared that
for thews and sinews the porter bore away the palm
from all the gentlemen present, and that far real
originality went, (that infabe test Of high birth,
good breeding and rare gcnus,) the porter was the
most original person in the room. At any rate, the
admxture and subsequent intermarragc Of the hardy
domestics with the feeble females Of fashion might
improve the breed, blood, and bone, Gas we say Of
race horses,) if il did not mend their manners.
o. MozARr's REQUIEM will be celebrated at 81.
Peters Church, on Friday next, the 18th inst, by
the whole strength Of the orchestra from the Ma
tonal Theatre. This celebrated piece Of religious
music has never before been performed in this coun-
try. Bishop Hughes breaches the sermon, and
Bishop Dubsis sings the ponti6cal mass. II will be
one Of the greatest exhibitions ever got up in this
country.
