at Odd Fellows Hall. The room was crowded with
brilliant assemblage of the youth and beauty of
the city, while Georgetown, Alexandria, and Ma
ryland, added many TO the festive crowd. The va
rious military organizations of the District were
well represented; and delegation from the Guards
of Fredericksburg, Virginia, in the handsome uni
form of that corps, and several of the Baltimore
companies, were in attendance. The Infantry were
unremitting in attentions and hospitality to their
guests; and the ball pronounced TO be equal to
any of the excellent ones heretofore given by that
we'll established and popular corps. The compa-
ny's band, led by Signor Garcia, performed during
the evening a series of new quadrilles, polkas,
waltzes, &C., arranged expressly for this ball by
Mr. Bergman, a member of the band and the d.
rector OF the ball music. The refreshments for the
ladies and guests, furnished by Mr.. Columbus, con-
fectioner, were bountiful and well served Never,
in so large ball assemblage, have witnessed

managers were excellent, and carried out with ex-
actness. During the evening the company were
gratfed by sailors hornpipe, danced in fine lyle
by young gentleman of Baltimore, and a fancy
dance by f'La Petite Carman,' of the Adelphi, not
yet five years old, which was truly astonishing for
one young, and was received with hearty plau-
dts. The dancing kept up to very late hour,
and the company separated in fine spirits, and loud
in their praises of Captain Tate, and the mana
gers of the Infantry ball.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN GooDs.-Through the &C
tivity of Captain Goddard of the Auxiliary Guard
nearly all of the valuable property recently stolen
from the house of Mr.. Washington Berry has been
recovered and restored. The robbery after a
searching scrutiny by Mr.. Goddard, traced to
black woman, slave Of Mr.. Berry's, who was
arrested on Thursday, and committed Yesterday
she confessed her guilt, and stated that she was
prompted to the offence by white man, who pro-
missed to convey her to Pennsylvania and give her
freedom, for her aid, and to allow her part of the
spoils. He furnished her. she states, from time to
time with skeleton keys, which she fitted to the
locks of the chambers; and, when all was ready,
assisted him in conveying off the booty. The white
thief has not as yet been arrested. Mr.. Berry
offered liberal reward for the recovery of his pro-
perty, which we suppose will be received by Cap
tain Goddard and the police officers who aided him
in the matter.
NoN-coNNExIoN.-Thc mail train Of cars from
Baltimore due here yesterday morning at o'clock,
failed 10 connect with the southern mail line which
left at 9 a. m, and passengers for the South were
thereby compelled to spend a day at the Capitol,
which we hope of them had any reason to re
greet. The detention of the cars was caused by p
trifing accident to one of the cars.
