THEArRk-THE MANAoKR's LAST 'KicK. We per- |
ceive that Mr.. Fry, under the authority of the |
Opera committee, has announced grand fancy |
dress ball at the Aston Place Theatre, to come of
on the eighte enth OF January. This is similar |
movement and springs from the same causes which |
produced the grand fancy ball of last season. The
treasury of the establishment, in consequence OF
bad manage ment, is empty, and some scheme must
be ado;,cd TO re plenish its Golfers This ball may
probably also be the signal for the abrupt termlna
ton OF the Opera season altogether. We remem.
Der how It was during the last season, grand
fancy ball got UP, and, under the supposed
eciat which attended 1t, the manages of that day
"burst ur,' and the subscribers who had inno-
Gently advanced money for certain number of
nights. were cheated out of about one third of the
amount--some eight thousand dollars.
How this fashionable movement will succeed in
the present condition of fashionable and general
society, we don't know but we shall endeavor to
give 1t all the aid In power, as the last resort to
resuscitate and set its legs fashionable society,
and contribute mite to the poor Italian artists
who have been SO dreadfuly sacrificed and dlsap-
pointed during the last two years. We understand
that it is intended to make this ball grea affair
In fashionable life 1t will witness the concentra-
ton Of all the brilliant elements of fashion, which
shone so glorsusly at the fancy balls given at Sa
ratoga and Newport laet summer. 1t will be a re-
union of all the characters, all the beauty, the
elegance, the wits who appeared on those occa-
slons, as well as Of some new characters who have
figured at private rehearsals during the last few
weeks. The famous polka, as it is danced in the
public gardens Of PARIS, and IN the Hungarian
camps on the Danube, will be the principal fea-

LATER FROM RIO JANERo AND LA PLArA-We
are indebted to Captain Dubert, of the handsome
baIk Kathleen, and also to Captain Sheppard, of
the bark Isabel for files of Rio papers to the 23d
OF November. The accounts are to the 9th
These are but three days later than previous ad-
wees, and do not contain anything of interest.
From Montevideo the dates are not later, though
some more details are gwen respecting the affair
between Mr.. Southern, the English minister, and
Rosas, the dictator. 1t appears that Rosas re-
fused to receive Mr.. Southern unless he was au-
thorzed to treat with Rosas on the bases laid
down by Mr.. Hood, the first special minister that
was sent out by England. Mr.. Southern would
not submit to be received on these terms, and
Rosas would receive him on others; so there
stands the affair. The result 1t is Impossible to
tell. Some thought that Rosas would probably de.
spatch Southern from the country, as he did Plco-
let, the French ambassador; others, that Mr..
Southern was only waiting for the packet to be off.
LATER FROM CAPTURE OF AN
AMERICAN STEAMER.---Captain Vinal, of the
bark J. A. Jessurun, who arrived on Monday
from Curacao, says that despatch had ar
rived from the blockade, at Maraicabo, which
states that the American steamer Scourge
had been captured passing the blockade. She
was short of fuel. The owner was in Curacao,
who despatched agent to our Minister IN
Laguyra, to take the affair in hand
