that no injury should happen TO them. My

turned, after having enjoyed the pleasures of

and what | was pleased to call my treasure.
The box was produced and opened-but, read

Now we beg tho patience of every honest

The OPENING BALL AT THE ALHAMRA ON FarpAY
NroHT.-This was in every respect one of the
most elegant affairs that has ever taken place in
this city. The splendors of the saloon-the love-
llness of the ladies-the excellence Of the music
the elegance Of the dancing--and the crowning
glories OF the supper, are the theme of universal
admiration in all the fashionable circles The
company was very select, and the scene was
rather that of an elegant private party, than
public ball. Good taste and experienced judgment
In these matters characterized the whole affair
1t is, We believe. very correctly said, that the sup
per table could not be rivalled for s elegance and
profusion, and that it was quite equal to that Of
any festive entertainment got up In the most re
chsrehs style in Paris. 1t is to be hoped that
series Of balls will be given in this magnifcen,
saloon, under the direction of Kcrponay, who on
this occasion seemed q if he were presiding al
some splendid festivity in the halls of palace,
with such admirable tact and elegance was the
whole affair conducted.
