A NAHRATTA DINNER PARTY We subjoin gra-
phic and amusing account of an entertainment, pure
y in Mahratta style, lately given by the Rash Of
Nag to the British resident and portion of the
society OF that station, CHI ely for the purpose Of in
Producing the ladies 10 the Rance. The very novel
tv of the assured had Lively charms for
all present, gave additional zest 10 the entertain
ment: " An enter taiDnent was given lew days ago
by the Rajah Of Nagpore 10 the British resident and
his suite, and invitations were also extended TO visi
tiers at Nagpore. The party principally for the
purpose of introducing the ladies to the RANGES, and
allowing the gentlemen TO pariake of a dinner purely
the Mahratla Style in fact, his Hghness express
ed wish that the Sshib Log should be dressed as
Mahrattas. On reaching the palace at seven z. NJ e,
the Resident was received by the Kajah al a small
door IN the primer pal street The ladies' having
shawled themselves we were told TO follow our lead
or IN Indian file. After twisting twirling, and near
knocking heads off against the low door frames
ascending and descending at last gained our OBJ
Ilect, and were comtortab seated shoes off, be-
fore group of Matches, old, by the way as the
hills Of Seetbuldee. Some time elapsed before the
khana was announced, during which the Resident
RECALLED San Antese with a description Of the battle
Of Gwslior. The apartment allotted for the repast
was exactly opposite to that III which we were, and
on arriving there we perceived five silver stools suf

was a separate dinner for the ladies near us, and
whilst they were being exhi arated with cham
payne, queuries, Sc, our modification was much
increased by their passing remarks on us, cramp-
ed as we're, and, moreover having nothing TO
wash down the strange meal withal but water
any stronger beverage having been decided anti
Mahfa,ta. Human nature could not bear this very
long, 20, one by one We stole of to the amply
furnished table amid loud and hearty laughter NJ
cooks avished Il err attent upon the party
and Of course thought, the bringing all kinds of dsin
ties in their fingers, hard and soft quite correct.
The Ralsh at length led the way to our former places
and the ladies were ushered into the RANGES pre-
sence. Whilst this was going on, servants entered,
bearing trays, each side of which was a complete
Mahratta costume. The tray underwent the cere-
mony of being touched by bis Highness, which was
followed up by similar mark from our digits and
then alas, past out Of our sight forever The cere-
moDy was INTERESTING, and the same presentations
made inside 10 the ladies, Of Xix dresses but
according TO hookum, were consigned to other more

SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.

The friends of Ireland in New York assembled
at Washington Hall in overwhelming numbers on
Tuesday evening, at the call of the Repeal As
ISOLATION. GANsEvooRT MELVILLE, Esq, was
called to the chair, and on taking it addressed the
vast concourse with animating and electric elo-
quence. The books were then opened for contr-
buttons to the Repeal Fund.- and contributions,
ranging from 1926 to 25 cents, we're poured in by
eager thousands, as fast as two secretaries could
take them down, till near 10 o'clock. AS, owing
to the crowd, and the intense heat of the room,
many could not get near the stand, two Secreta-
ries were placed at a table in the outer hall,
where great numbers made their humble but
hearty offerings to the cause of Freedom and
Humanity. At 10 O'Clock, II. Greedy briefly ad-
dressed the immense and enthusiastic concourse.
Contributors to the Repeal Fund still eagerly
pressed forward, and it was found necessary to
adjourn the meeting over to this evening at the
same place. The collections of the evening, in
GLIDING none from abroad but small sum from
the adjacent village of Astoria, amounted to
$l026 74-the largest sum ever collected in
this city at single meeting. So rolls on the
wave of Sympathy for struggling Ireland = Trib.

LoUIsIANA.-Our brethren in this State do
dot seem to be at all ticked at the notion which
Mr. Greedy seems to have gotten into his head
that it will go for Polk and Ruin. Hear what
the Tropic says on this head:
New York Tribune set down Louisiana as "pOs-
sibly for Polk" We beg they will do no such
thing. Louisiana cannot, under any circumstan-
ces, support Mr.. Polk, and we dislike to see her
placed in any such category. If we have been
unfortunate heretofore--if we have slept upon
our arms, and allowed the enemy to take possess
sion Of our outposts, we have already been pun
ished sufficiently. 1t is too bad to have Louisi-
ana put down even as "possble" Polk State,
and we insist that our friends will alter their
figures by placing us under the banner of Henry
Clay, not "possibly" but positively!
