DEAR Sm:-
Inc grand ball OF the Irish Repealers, given bv
'he ci'izens who are advocates Of the repeal proved
10 DC perfect Jdus pas. A great deal of noise.
newspaper puiilng and blowing had caused the peo-
PIE 10 De on up-toe anxiety for the coming grand
display; an array OF some of the most respe ctabir
citizens names was given 10 the public as managers
the elite and fashion of the city were to be he,~
The ben ton and exquls,es 10 honor the com,
pany by their presence-a splendid hand of music
was to be engagec-a very sumptuous repast was
to be given-epicures and connoisse urs were 10 bc
nonp!ussec-every body was TO be satisfied and
pleased, no one was TO have the slightest cause for
dissatisfaction or disp!easure; the hall was to be
brilliantly Illuminated and gorgeously decorated in
few words II was TO be the most splendid ball ever
given in the city OF Louisville, but with all their
noise and putting, proved to be N. G. Ono COY the
company was by no means select, the music poor.
and the supper very inferior; very few who were
there that did not regret having visited The ball ROOM
and not little put out at being completely DONE
While the musicians Were at supper, Pat Mooney
enlivened The company with song, that is If his
vocal abilities could produce SO happy an effect, tho
which very much doubt twas truly laughabe to
see them endeavorng TO ape the manners and polite
mes. of the higher grades Of society.
The failures that have taken place within the last
TWO or lnree weeks, are many, very many and un-
looked for; they are principally those who have
long been in business, and hitherto enjoyed the high
est reputable character as 10 the falihfulness and
honesty OF their dealings. Their failures have pro-
we'd 10 be Of the most disastrous kind. Many are
involved IN their ruin. Each day adds another 10
the already extensive catalogue Of failures. When
they will cease one can possibly conceive.

out Of Hartford, and raised the same IN bowdoh
