Tho Evening In Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 2-lOP. M.
The snow fell from ten o'clock up to six in the
evening, at Washington. The Presidents levee
was held, and tolerably we'll attended. The
Washington Monument ball was failure.

This Card is to be presented at the door.


The whole, we understand, was very splen-
did and magnificent affair. We could not attend,
In consequence of indisposition; but we have
been promised full account of the proceedings
on the occasion, with graphic description and
display of the beauties and beaux who were pre-
sent. This ball, it is said, was got up by the
members of the Club, in order to pay off some
old scores, which we are happy to hear was &C :.
compished, and handsome surplus left to con-
stitute fund for future fun.
The Astor Opera Club, established for the sup
port of the opera, is now engaged in preparations
for grand fancy ball, next Monday evening,
at the Astor Theatre. The proceeds of this brill
liant aft r to be appropriated for the liquida-
ton of the deficiencies of the opera season, and
of debts still due. When the arrangements are
completed, we shall be able to say more on this
subject
The other fashionable club is the Empire, the
president of which is the famous Captain Ryn-
ders, whom Mr.. Clay thought he would be able
" to whip" but which we doubt much. We
would even make bet upon Rynders against
Clay, in the matter of whipping" But avast !!
This club is now coming into the field with
ball in the highest fashionable style, probably at

the scientific pugilist, and most gentle
manly but-ender of the present age-aso is
a member of this club, and has already been
to the opera, and has approved of the whole
troupe, particularly Truffi. In fact, we are
even given to understand that Captain Ryn-
ders, Yankee Sullivan, and whole bevy of
the fashionable boys of the Empire Club, intend
to frequent the Opera, regularly once week, in
white kid gloves, and mean to cut out, in every
way, both the Union and the Racket Clubs, and
all or any of the members Of any other club in
town.
Fashionable movements never were so flou-
rshing as they in this city land all classes
are focking to the Opera, led on as they are by
all these clubs-the Union, the Astor, the Rack
ct, and the Empire Club, with its brave and ge-
nerous boys. God and liberty! Bright eyes and
