Among the bellies of the evening was Miss
Woodbury., Of N. Hampshire, who wore plain
white dress. The same simple color was worn by
that trio of home beauty, the Misses Greenow.
Macgruder, and Ada Smith Miss Gould. of
Cambridge, Mass, wore pink brocade, and
Miss Hart, of Brooklyn, white, embroidered in
colors. Miss Grimes, of n O., was with her
sister, Mrs. Sam Ward, who wore superb Jewels.
Refreshments were served up during the
evening at tables in the long corridor behind
the house, where the fine plate of the Minister
was displayed. Here the Guelph of Whiggery
and the Democratic Ghibbeline joined in a
social cup Of tea, while some fascinating belle
destroyed at the same time an ice and an add
mlrer 5 heart. In another room warm friends
opposed each other at the card table, while
dowagers discussed the fortunes of marriage
able NJ. Cs. But the centre of attraction was
the large dining room, where fine band in.
spired the poetry of motion Bright eyes and
fairy forms, jewels and laces, uniforms and
epaulettes; silks and satins, whirled around in
the dizzy waltz, or threaded the mazes of the
quadrille.
Up stairs to supper. The tables, ornamented
with profusion of flowers, were loaded with
game oysters, jellies confectionery, wines and
cordials. There was q luxurious profession of
every thing, and the repast was discussed with
due honor. Dancing was then resumed with
few quiet firtations, many compliments to
Monsieur Andrada on the success of his sis

New Appointments by the President.-We
have reason to believe that, to-day, the Presi-
dent made the following nominations of very
recent appointees to the Senate, viz:
Michael Stock, of New Mexico to be Indian
Agent in New Mexico, vice James NJ. Smith,
deceased.
United states Consul at Tumbez, in Peru,
vi:e Samuel j. Oakford, recalled
Arnol Graef, of New York, to be United

NJ Fessenden, declined.

Monies at Batesyille. Ark, vice ] T. Soto ri

A New First Assistant Postmaster Gene
ral-We have every reason to believe that to-
day the nomination of Horatio King, Esq, Of
Maine. SO long clerk in the Post Office De-
par,ment, to be First Assistant Postmaster
General vice Major Selah K. Hobbie, deceased,
was sent to the Senate. This appointment
will emphatically reward merit. Mr.. King
has faithfully discharged his duty to his
various trusts in the Department, until he
has come to be regarded as one Of the
most efficient and serviceable officers under
the Government in Washington. His Sc
lection is IN earnest that the Postmaster
General looks only in the discharge Of his
public duty, to the true interest of his charge.
Public Lands in California understand
that the Land Office Bureau contemplate bring
ing the public lands in California into market,
as fast as the Board of Commissioners adjud-
eating upon the conflicting claims and titles
there. dispose Of such questions. That is, to
bring in market these lands, by districts, a.
lie com nissioners close their labors in con
neeiion with each succeeding district. In the
meanwhile, settlers can obtain e-emption
rights to them, by squatting on lands not
legally covered by existing titles or claims.

The war-.Gontradictors Runlors,

The war now raging in Europe exhibits
some curious facts, England and France,
which have been enemies. and which have
never ceased hosllitles, for any great length
of time. since the Norman Conquest are
now associated in arms, and fighting side by
side. Ono Is Protestant aud the other Cath.
ole but, this at present. is no ground of
disagreement. although ii has in former days
caused oceans of blood to flow. Moreover
these two nations, always. hitherto opposed
to each other. are now battling conformity
with the Turk, follower of Mabomet.
against the Russian, a Christian Emperor.
The swords and bayonets of the eombat.
ants are cert ainly impelled by no religious
fanatieism. The obstinate devotion Of tie
Mabomeian, the cold sel6shness of the
Greck.ehurchman the domineering asSump.
tion of the Catholic. and the ennseeniiou.

has oceasioned SO much deadly strife, and
been the cause of some Of the most horrii
aud inhuman outrases ever recorded in hisio.

riors are prompted by other motives than
those which have ever been their strongest
incentives to action. The struggle now i,

England aud France would still have aided

Of Russia, and their object Is to maintain
the balance Of power in Europe. The con.

to be injured or promoted by the issue.
