But let us tel you OF the ladies'.
There wa &c arcely lady who might not claim
to be handsolns IN the comp my, lhe pan r was asa :
and papable hit. For instance, i1efe was the
daughter of Major D--(don't know who) OF
this city, most exqusltey attied IN ient PINK sa'ln
and gossamer muslin, with circet OF pearl beads
and York roses round her head, diamond brace
lets upon her arms, &c.; observe the harmonious
contour of her face and figure, liite as she s An!
my good fellow, we can't allow you an introduce
ton, especially as that conceited pedagogue in
specs IS so very much absorbed and Miss Lite,
half sister OF Com. Moore, naval hero OF Texas
the lady IN white yonder,
"The langnid lustre ofwhose speaking eye,
The fitting smile Of whose bewitching mouth
(Which more than all betray ed her natal sky,
And left US dreaming Of the sammy South;)
and Miss W., that's lisht:formed airy creature,
with the pearls around her fair browa true blue,
you may rely uponit; and Miss B, with her
full and elegant outline and bright eyes and that
elegant wallzer, Miss S-t--n, and those ladies OF
the French and Austrian embassies, now simply
they are dressed, and yet how be comisRly, except
ing those funny velvet caps, which scarcely re-
deemed by the diamonds with which they are but
toned; and there was also Miss T-br-ke, OF Va,
scion of loveliness worthy the old common
X WI at al q n
gure, and what warm and oriental mouth she
has TO tempt us wherewihal /; and the little Miss
NJ, late of New York. SO delicate, so pale,
sweet she seems as one
"Who loves-but knows not whom she loves,
Nor what his racs-por whence he came"
There is such pleasant melancholy expression in
her hne eyes. But In our individual judgment, the
queen OF the evening was Miss Chr, OF Fau-
toned, with that lively radiant and transparent
complexion SO pecullarto Virginia and
'Her eyes sweet charm twere vain to tell;
But look on that OF the gazelle,
twill assist Thy fancy well"
And there was also her pretty cousin Miss R,
IN blue Miss G. danced La Polka with
Mons korponay very charmngly;
Her cousin in blue.
Among the gentlemen were the French and Be-
gian Ministers, Array and Navy officers, Lieut.
Pope, and DR.. Heisken, of Va, among them !;
John Tyler, jr of Va, one OF The handsomest and
most graceful men In the Union Hon. Messrs
Broadhead, OF Pa. and Brown Of Indiana; Mr..
Burton, late of the National, and other distinguish
ed characters, and strangers.
There was supper of substantials spread below
at an extra charge of fifty cents whilst the ladies
were provided for in a contiguous room to the sa
loon, tree OF extra cost, as usual. Many gentle
men, we are sorry TO say, in taking advantage o
the ladies' privilege, escaped the necessity of that
extra half dollar, and the number who took supper
down below was, therefore, like the Yankees gold
eagles, "mighty skace."
BY and large, from first to last. this Benefit Ball
was an elegant and charming affair. 1t could not
Pope, Porter, and others equally an fat were the
Board Of Control. Consequently
when next ball like this comes Oh,
