tune OF Hey Jim along, Jim along Josey," and all
the police officers of duty joining in full chorus.
INCORRECT SrArEMENr.-A statement was publish
I'd in one OF the city papers YESTERDAY, that little girl
had been run over by one of Kipp & Browns
stages, and both her legs and one arm broken =
The truth OF the matter is, that woman, while In
endeavoring TO run past the horses heads, was
thrown down and slightly inJnred. No legs or arms
were broken and every attention was given her by
he gentle manly proprletors of these stages, who
Immediately ordered physician to attend her al
their own expense, although the driver vas blame
less as 10 the cause OF her slight injury.
Grand Fancy Dress Ball at Gothic Hall.
This much talked of assembly came of on Mon
day evening" the 2Sih ait, with all the Susto with
which gentleman Cotter's admirable arrangements
are always attended. We entered the hall at an
early hour, and were much surprised in finding so
numerous and respectable a concourse of people
present, among whom we recognised many familiar
countenances, particularly among the iadies-a
more brilliant array Of female loveliness we have
seldom met with. The company were generally
dressed with taste and precision, and as is eusto-
mary we must be INDUCED in particularizng some
of the most prominent characters represented.
The Brigand, by Mr.. T., was decidedly the most
correctly dressed charac er present-but would
have been much better sustained had the gentle
man been more easy and graceful Hamlet and the
Ghost of his father were dancing side by side with
Robert Macaire a'd his interesting companion,
Jacques Strop; near them was the Duke of Clos
ter, Paul Ply, Napoleon, and the great Moea',
(Which latter character was represented In the
person OF very elevated young man, whose pro-
portionately tall head-dress which was flaming
re1-added so mach to his own heighth that such
Of the small fry as we're ambitious Of holding con.
verse with his grace, were under the necessity Of
doing so by deputy,) tripping Glands all Round"
to the tune Of James along Joseph" Rolando
had apparently forgotten his aversion to the entre
race Of woman kind" and seemed to enjoy the
smiles Of the fair equally with those who pro.
fessed more fondness. RhoCerick Dhu was obser
while the impetueus Timour having cooled his
rage, was completely convulsed with laughter at
the Yankee eccentricites OF Ezekiel HomesPun.
The bold Rob Roy and his bonnie Helen had forgot
with apparent delight. Two monks Of the Jesuit
ical order were objects Of much curiosity, and ad-
mirably did they preserve the mystery for some
time, when by some mischance their hoods were
able contributors to the newspaper press in this
city. MIR. S-m, as a sailor, looked exceedingly
well above the hips, but black cloth pants strapped
down are not exactly in keeping for jack tar
sustained, and the absence of any ose Of them
would have MARE the novelty OF the scene:
And now for the ladies-they must pardon our
leaving the mention OF them to the last-but we
always make rnle to reserve the cream of arIi-
Gle for its close. With whom shall we begin-we
are puzzled. The enchanting Miss Fig, Of Ca
nal street, looked beautiful than ever, and all
appeared crazy to become acquainted with her, but
Mr.. +. was the favored one, and excited a con-
siderable degree Of envy. Miss b of Ludlow
street, q charming creature, dressed in plain
white, was in excellent spirits, and seemed not
in the least displeased with the attentions OF
Mr.. l.. The petite Miss Tt, of Pearl street,
dressed in white satin, was the most graceful
dancer present. The charming vocalist, Mrs.
s., AID ker modest and unassuming sister, Miss
Be, had score Of admirers, and were We to
Judge from the poetry of smiles and glances, GER
tain Mr.. G. was rayther" smitten with the WI |
low, whose waltzing with the handsome MIR |
Sc, of Water street, was uRexceptionasle. The
svely Miss W-k, of Prince street, was much |
ought after, and seems to have made complete |
quest of Mr. r of Pearl street, with whom she |
vas company Miss B., also Of Prince street, |
wore black velvet bodice, with blue skirt, and |
one of the most fascinating young ladies we have
,ver met with. Miss Is, of Broome street,
vas the observed of all observers, and also Mrs.
s-r, of Duane street, and Miss Al, whose
'esidenee were unable to learn-together with
hundred others, which we regret eur inability to
EN- ember at present. ALL all, contributed to make
his one continued scene of harmony aud delight.
The management of the floor, by Messrs. Van
3-n and Cd, was properly attended to; the
music was excellent-supper unexccphon-inf tact,
every thing was it should be, AID we sincerely |
nope Mr. Cotter will favor the public with another
similar ball before the close of the season.
