The OPERA-THE FAsHIoNABLEs-THE GALA
NIGHT--THE FANCY BAIL.-The fashionable
world OF New York is as much disturbed at
this moment, and seems TO be in a. strong
state OF excitement, as the political world
The treaty with Mexico, and the Presi-
Dental election, occupy the dirty politicians;
while TIE gala night and the fancy ball fill the
hearts, and breathe from the lips of the elite
Some fear that the treaty with Mexico may be a
failure; there also fears, among the people of
fashion, that the opera will be failure too, and
burst up, even before the treaty with Mexico is
rejected by the Senate.
According to all appearances, the gala night
will be a decided failure, but the fancy ball NAV
be more successful. How should it be other.
wise p! There must be very moderate nor.
ton of common sense, animating the heads
OF those who have made this movement.
If they could suppose that they would be able
TO sell concert tickets under the name of
"a grand gala night at three times their or
binary worth, charging three dollars a
ticket to single person, for nothing but an
evening concert, in which will be given few
scenes and overtures from several operas. Ii is
mere concert, badly selected, badly advised,
and bedly managed. If this is the genius they
exhibit for raising the wind and touching the
charitable feelings Of the fashionable world.
That they may get money enough to pay their
debts, they ought TO be set down at the lowest
notch In the scale Of Jews or Jeremy bidders.
The only method which would be open. manly.
gentlemanly, as well as FASH onabc, is to come
out boldly and raise a subscription, each person
at hundred dollars. We have promised 10
play trump in this, and we adhere to our pro-
mise
On the other hard, the fancy ball to be given
the sixth of next month, we believe will be a
splendid affair. This is Legitimate under
taking, and must succeed but the grand gala
night, at three times it's worth, is a farce and a
shave, and should not succeed any where. Let
all the ladies' In fashionable society, therefore,
prepare for the fancy ball to be given at the
opera; and that we may give every inform alton

CAPITAL ILLUsTRATIoH.-The editor of the
Haverhill Mass Gazette, in dignifed and
sarcastic reply to an insulting communication
abusing him for supporting Gen. Taylor, thus
forcibly illustrates the position of "disaffect.
ed Wing" BY very striking simile:
sour writings against the nomination
of Taylor are quoted with all imaginable alb
surdity, as if they pledged us to oppose his
election after the question is reduced to him OF

can afford to be man, but not to be an idiot
and feel that we can no more justly be charged
with dishonesty and Inconsistency than the
man who would refuse TO take passage across
the ocean in packet ship because he had OBJ
jected for some reason to that particular ship
being put upon the line. According to these
wise casuists, he would throw himself into Q

balls, and false lights, TO wreck the ship tC

lions showed TO have been greundless.

The following are samples of the reports in

One is, that general murder of the members
of the Assembly is intended, means being or
ganized for executing this simultaneously at
their respective places of abode. Another is,
that an organized assault will be made on the
boarding schools, where young persons Of the
one and the other sex are educated; that these
shall be captured and kept as hostages to be de-
livered up only on the payment of a ransom in
money, and the concession of such political
measures as the insurgents may require
Other reported projects have for their object
the blowing up of portions of the capital, by
means of gunpowder deposited in the quarters
of the catacombs, sewer-pipes, cellars and
other excavations which already exist, besides
Excavations expressly executed for the purpose.
II is understood that the Pensioners and other
establishments for education have been placed
under careful surveillance. Again it is said
that column of &c, 900 ouvriers, without work
intend TO march to the National Assembly and
demand peremptorily to be fed or to be shot.
In Spain, the instruction in favor OF the
Count de Montemolin fills the Government
