Miscellaneous. informed you of an intend
cd ball, to be given by the midshipmen at. the
naval school in this city. 1t came off last
night. For some days previous, ladies and
gentlemen were arriving here to attend the
ball. The steamers JeweSs and Jefferson, ar
rived from Baltimore, bringing a number of
guests in the afternoon, and the morning cars
brought others. The cars from Annapolis, in
the afternoon, that were to connect with the
Wash. and Bait. train, ran off the track, the
the train did not return to this city till between
one and two o'clock at night. A large num-
Der of ladies, intending to visit the ball, arrived
in this train from Baltimore and Washington
among those from the latter place, was Ro-
ger Jones, Adjutant General of the U. States,
and Hon. Mr.. Yancey, of Ala. The marine
band, from Washington, with cotlhon music,
were in attendance. The members of the
Legislature, with host of invited guests from
various sections of the Union, participated in
the festivities of the occasion. There has been
some dissatisfaction, in various quarters, grow
ing out of, perhaps, some want of proper man
agement i'll the preliminary movements; but it
could not be expected that all should be pleas
ed. The "wee small hours of morning." were
fast gliding away, when many gay spirits quit
the festive scene, to seek reposo, perchance to
dream, and waking, feel how false the hope,
that it would act as "Natures sweet restorer."
