we put our pen to paper, to record one OF the
most delightful affairs that has come off this season
at Charraud's celebrated rooms in White street. on
Thursday evening last. Ourtricksy Ariel was there,
ana rendered his account the ensuing day, but cir
cumstances prevented its insertion before We do
not recollect any thing that has given more sasac
tory pleasure than the one now allude to- and it
does infinite credit to those engaged in the manage
ment.
Among the many beautie, present were Miss D.
OF Hudson street. whose graceful cments in the
waltz excited universal admiration. Miss M,
