THURSDAY NIeHr.-This elegant and fashionable
affair went off with immense eoat on Thursday
night. The beautiful location OF Belmont House
SO near the city, and yet entirely removed from
the busting scenes of busy life-lhe excellent ar
ransemens OF the amiabe and attentive hostess, the
select and agreeable character of the company as
sembed, all rendered the scene one Of great and
unmixed enjoyment. The columns Of ne piazza IN
front OF the house were very tasteluliy fesooneG
with flags, whose gay coors contrasted agrseaby
with the dark green verdure of the shrubbery. The
ball room was also decorated with great neatne IS
and proprety
Dancing commenced about nine o'clock Amongst
the company we noticed the following ladies and
gentlemen Miss A-d; the handsome Miss
Eth; Miss A. L-ch; the pretty Miss r
L-ch Miss B-n; the Misses Eds, daugh.
ter of distinguished Judge; Miss F-gh; Miss
FIX; Miss R-t Miss G. S-ns; Miss
M. St-son; Mrs. W-pe; Mrs. DR.. r. 5
KIN; Mrs. f. B. C-g; and host of others
whose names we cannot enumerate. Amongst the
gentlemen the navy was well represented by Lieut.
CT; Passed Mid. D-r; Mid. 1t, St
R-w; Mr.. A of the Waverly House. Mr.
HI. Mr. B--th; Mr.. R-ch MIR. D-n;
Mr.. W-p; Mr.. C-is; Mr.. St; Mr.
Fly; though last notle Mr. L--ch, the mas
ter OF the ceremonies, and never were these impor-
tant duties discharged with greater ability and sue
cess.
The appearance of the ball room when the gay
scence was at its height, was peculiarly attractive
White dresses had been chosen almost universally
by the ladies, and this uniformity gave an
air OF purity and angelic grace TO the fair
assemb!age. which was, indeed, we'll sustained by
their beaming eyes, bewitching smiles, and grace
lul demeanor The band was full and complete;
and seldom have the wooded hills of Staten Island
re-echoed such inspiring music Amid such an array
OF feminine loneliness and grace it were vain for
TO attempt to 2arcularize. One thing struck us as
peculiarly attractive about this ball it had the air
of pleasant family party; and everv one, conse-
quently, seemed at home and happy. There werc
not, indeed, any whiskered and mustachioed crea
lures, apeing the airs of foreign noblemen and dis
gushing every one with their impudence but the
gentlemen present really deserved that somewhat
abused designation and were not unworthy of the
society Of the fair ones assembled. Can we say
more for them!
We do hope that another ball will soon be given
Such elegant, attractive, and well conducted occa-
