Celebration of the Anniversary OF Robert
Owens BIrthday-Fourfer Stock the
Rise.
Last night there was quite reunion OF the varl-
Gus phlanthropsts, Socialists, Fourierites Brisbane
ties, Conltes, and the different disciples of the ma
ny chques that have for their common object the
Augean task Of remoldeling human nature, and
the present desperate condition Of society. The i'm
the clans, the celebration OF the seventy-fourth
anniversary Of the birth day of their great leader,
Robert Owen but we suspect that apart from that,
there existed lingering wish to try the effect OF one
more social meeting on the old plan, previous to
their giving their final plunge into the cold water
bath OF the new order OF things, proposed by this
Spartan band OF regenerators. Be that as il may,
there is doubt that all the various clques were
most energetic in showing their complete abandon
of feelings on the occasion. The party was held in
Franklin Hall, In Chatham Square, and the room
brilliantly lighted up, and adorned with banners
bearing the various notices OF the sects. There
was full orchestra, and about seventy couples OF
both sexes kept up the dancing with much spirit
country dance, Spanish dance, cotlllion and waltz
following in rapid succession. Refreshments were
handed round in the intervals, and the ''young Anne
rca of the regenerators evinced the great perfec-
ton to which good breeding has been cultivated
among them. In consequence of the absence OF Mr..
Owen, the speeches which anticipated still re-
main unutered, though address to their leader,
their father, and congraulatory in its pur
port, was read by gentleman. Altogether, we
think this one OF the most recherche parties that has
taken place during the season, and pittlng the So
cialists against the sugar hogshead arstocracy, we
decidedly think the former are ahead In the race OF
getting up entertainments, though some allowance
must be made for the time the latterhave lost in their
education in qualifying themselves for the wearing
of the ribbon of the court of bankruptcy.
