THE HUNeARIAN BALL AT New YoRK.-The
great civic and military ball in honor of the Hun
garan refugees, which came of last night at Nib
los, was one of the most magnificent reunions OF
the season. All the magic efficacy of Aladdin
lamp had been put in rcquistion, and the spacious
theatre, embeshed in the most tasteful and uxu-
rious manner, was converted into glittering tenn
pie Of enchantment Every variety of national
emblem and military device, arranged in flowing
and graceful festoonery, were woven into a SPLEEN
did military tent, admirably adapted TO enhance
the blaze OF beauty and elegance which shonc be-
meath its superb canopy. The theatre was crowded
at early hour with all that is fascinating and de-
lightful in the fashionable ranks Of the city, and
with large representation of noble, patriotic
spirits, who came 10 express their sympathy with
the occasion. The dancing was kept up with inf
mite vivacity until the announcement Of supper di-
vcrted the attention Of the company 10 more sub
stantial considerations than " the poetry Of mo-
ton" This served up stairs in the usual ball
room, and surpassed in luxury and elegance Of ar
rangcment every former effort OF the accomplished
artists, Of whose taste il was highly satisfactory
specimen. Every part Of this unique festival APP
peared TO have received the most elaborate care,
and the whole effect no less crcditabe 10 the
energy Of the managers than IL was agreeable TO
the immense assemblage Of subscribers and guests.
The presence of many distinguished foreigners,
besides those in whose honor the ball was given,
great addition 10 the interest Of the occasion

CAN A MANI WITH A BALL IN HIS BRAlN.-Un
the 10Th OF last November, in the dastardly attack
with firearms made upon the house Of the William
Penn Hose Company Of Kensington, young CO.
lored man named Jesse Tomlipson, in the employ
of tho company, shot in the head by double
barrel gun in the hands ofone Of the murderous
sailants. The ball entered the Uranium, between
the of the eye and nasal bone, and penetrat-
ing 10 the depth Of some inches Gas ascertained by
the probe,) lodged either in the gh brain some
where else ia the interior Of the skull. The wounded
man was conveyed TO the Pennsylvania hospital in
state Of insensibility, and for more than month
lay in perfect stupor.
Al the end OF that time, he began TO revive, and
get better and il not long before he was able to
sit up and converse-at first rather incoherently,
but afterwards nationally. In the meanwhile a
quantity of the brain itself exuded from the wound.
The sight Of the injured eye was destroyed, and one
side of the body paralyzcd. The paralysis subse-
quently disappeared, though the vision of the eye
appears to be irrevocably gone. The wound has
healed over, the man is now walking about eats
heartily, is fast recovering his flesh and talks with
just as much sense as he ever did
The. questions that naturally arise are Did the
ball that made the wound penetrate the skull at all?
Could it have rebounded? Is il now in the solid
substance of the brain or has it found Judgment
in the inner plate Of of the bones of the cranium2
or has it sloughed out lastly, can man live with
| ball in his brain,
We leave the settlement Of these queries TO the
| medical world. The case we cannot help thinking
an extraordinary one - Philadelphia Bulletin.

A friend in Baltimore, says the Marlborough
(Md.) Gazette has sent us an interesting circular
from the house of Daniel Crommelin & Son, Am
sterdam. II is dated 2lst January, 1850, and con-
tans statistics Of the imports prices, &C., of tobacco
in that market. We copy the remarks on imports
and prices:
s'ToBAcco.--The imports of Maryland, not only
in Holland, but also in Bremen, show great in
to those in s4S; notwithstanding this prices
have gradually improved; already in the beginning
of the year there was good demand for ordinary
and middling descriptions at an advance of one to
two and "a half cents, and after some fluctuations
these kinds are four or five cents higher, while
there continues fair request, especially for the
lower kinds. The imports of Kentucky and Vir-
ginia were quite trifing, and hardly any thing is
left for the moment; these kinds have advanced
to eight cents. Java tobacco, of which 10000
bales have been imported here and at Rotterdam has
sharedin the improvement, being wquoted atfuly
twenty to two hundred cents against eight oeighty
cents this time last year. What we received of
other descriptions came mostly indirect, and met,
with but few exceptions, with ready purchasers at
D roportonatc fair rates.

The FLORIDA INDIANs.--The policy of President
Taylor in removing the Indians from Florida by
peaceful means deserves the hearty appreciation OF
the country. II was easy enough TO have provoked
war with those savages-a war of swamp fight
ing, ambuscades and slaughter, involving the ex-
penditure Of millions OF dollars. The last Florida
war, which continued for five or six years, and
was terminated in 1871, did not probably cost less
than thirty millions. The sacrifice of life was
great, and the hardships of the successive cam
pagns in the Everglades were of the severest and
most trying kind
General Taylor served in that war. He knew
the nature of the country and the character of the
Indians, and doubtless dreaded the contingency OF
another war. By the arrangement recently con-
cluded under the management of General Twiggs,
the whole Indian population is TO be peacefully re-
moved from Florida at an expense TO the Govern
ment not exceeding $225, o00-a sum which would
not suffice for the outfit and pay Of regiment for
one campaign.
We repeat that the President, by this pacific
policy, has rendered a service to the country wor-
thy of its most cordial approval. good is always
achieved by the avoidance of an evil. II may be
that the result Of such wise forbearanoe and cir
cumspect sagacity may not show forth with brill
liancy-but the patriotic and the obscrvant know
how TO appreciate it.-BGi. Amer.
