Ball at the St. Louis.

Evening before last was the most brilliant of
all previous evenings in this city in the way of
balls. The first was grand fancy dress and
mask ball at the St Louis Hotel, which assem-
bled great proportion Of the beauty Of this
city, and displayed choice selection Of dresses
and attires, and a quainter and more varied
assortment of masks than we have ever before
seen collected. The great ball at the st.
Charles melted every to attend its successor,
and all those who could be present thanked
their good fortune and endeavored to do them
selves honor. The characters assumed were
unusually well sustained, and much of the
olden masquerading spirit seemed to be re-
newed for the occasion. The best drest and
most ably sustained personation which we saw
was that of Mrs. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO
| be represented by lady of this city whose
wit and ability renders her an ornament to the
circle in which she moves, and great addition
to any festiyity to which she contributes. The
character was admirably performed and won
the admiration of all who saw it. Two rival
oueens reiened in the rooms, Mary of Scots
and the beautiful Isabella. !, The mastering Of
their attendants was proportioned to their own
great personal beauty, and the natural man
| ner in which their royal robes hung on them,
proved the wisdom of their taste in the choice
of characters
There were an unusual number of characters
taken from romance and the drama; and the
former were carefully attired to suit the stories
from which they sprang, while the latter walked
around as though they had just quit the stage
for the ball room. Our old friend lngomar was
present with gentlemanliness Of demeanor and
bearing that contrasted somewhat strangely
with his savage appearance. twas evidently In
4 gonaar after learning what love is, and not be.
1 fore. Or, if we are mistaken as to that fact
we assuredly cannot be as to his learning much
Of loves lore from pair of bright eyes and rosy
! lips that walked alongside him-as little tim
oroas as Parthenia's self. Robert .Macaire and
| Jacques sStrop must have made fortune and
! been able this morning to divide rich assert
nent of articles they had ''prigged" in the eley-
er and industrious pursuit of their profession
The champagne bottles at the supper table suf-
fered greatly from the adroitness and dexterity
of the former, while the latter converted the
| napkins into wipes" in the most natural and
easy manner conceivable. We met Flora Mac
donald in her plaid and tartan polking with the
Devil, while her brother Fergus, in seeming IN
concern, was chatting to little ladye, who, from
theiblueness Of her eyes and the beauty of her APP
pearanee seemed worthy to enlist his readily
yielded attentions. There were the usual nun,

of DR.. Sherman In this painful and dangerous
malady is, in the main, but just and we copy
it with pleasure from the Courier of Sunday
LAST
Death from strangulated rupture is frequent
ly reported in the medical journals, and attri-
buted by physicians who have been called upon
to attend the unfortunate ia the hour of distress
and anguish to the use of inefficient Trusses,
vended by mercenary wretches, whose only OBJ
ject is money, without any regard for the suf
ferings and fatal consequences attendant on the
use Of worthless devices. Rupture is more pre-
yalent than many suppose it to be; in almost
every family, case is to be met with, and it's
frequent occurrence leads many to believe it to
be unworthy their special attention, and, eonse-
quently to neglect it until it is in a condition to
battle the skill Of the most experienced surgeon.
Then they feel the necessity of seeking perma-
nent relief and bestowing some care on what
they had hitherto considered harmless in
trinity.
Our friends and neighbours are blessed with
the presence of q gentleman of scientific attain
ments, who has devoted years most successfully
| to the treatment of the complaint in all its
stages.
| We allude to DR.. Sherman he requires from
us no puff; his labors have preceded our
thoughts, and speak louder of his success than
we possibly can. His patent truss, his expe-
| rience, his knowledge of ruptures, fully per-
suade us to believe him to be the safest person
in this section Of country, at whose hands one
| would receive benefit from the application of a
truss, and be placed beyond the liability to
| strangulated hernia.

allowed Baldwin to transact business as n parts

Later from Havana.

By the arrival of the Philadelphia we have
| received dates from Havana to the 9th inst.
The papers by her contain little news, and
none of any interest, except the following.
Though they come down to a date four days
later than that of the rumor received at Char
lesion of slave insurrection, they make no
mention of the fact, which, had it been true,
must have reached them.
The Diario copies, with much satisfaction,
various English documents, to prove that in all
the colonies where introduced, it has been found
that the introduction Of apprentced Chinese, as
agricultural laborers, has been highly success
| full; that the Chinaman is as industrious as the
| Cody, more adroit, and much stronger is
easily governed, sober, frugal mild, and Us
eager to work on Sunday, for pay, as the negro
is ayerse to laber, paid or forced, at all times.
They seem, in short, to be convinced that, in
point of oheapness and efficiency, there are three
grades-the negro standing lowest the Cody a
good deal higher; the Chinaman, q good deal
the highest of all, And, indeed, from what is
| reported of the Chinese in California, there may
be more truth in these statements than there
usually is in those which abolitionists usually
make
On the 2lst, the Captain General issued an
order forbidding the practice of calling back
fayorite actors and dancers, and forcing them to
repeat performances which have pleased the an-
dience. He says that it is cruel thus to over
task the poor performers, in climate like that
Of Havana; and that it is unjust thus to exact,
by calls often capricious, tasteless, and proceed
ing from the worst part of the spectators, more
than the actors have bargained for All this
is, certainly, wholesome enough doctrine: but
We doubt if the parties interested will thank his
Excellency
The Government is much charging and ex-
tending the mole of the port of Havana, This
fine harbor will thus be rendered still more Sc
cure to the greatly increasing trade which is,
every day, more and more attracted thither.

account of the magnificent manner which it was

was carried out. ball when Julien finds the
