The Masquerade Ball came of at Numbers As
sembly Rooms last night with great eclat. Though
not as largely attended as some there was select
appearance about the assembage, even before the
company unmarked, that is seldom seen at a dress
ball. va tal
The characters assumed were, as general thing,
well sustained and the dresses rich ~ could be
asked OF this point it is enough to say, that the
costumes employed were made by Marshall Son,
of Baltimore, and that they did not disgrace the
reputation they have hitherto borne for being
fat in designing the dress of any period of history,
and for making 1t distinctive as to be recognised
by any one.
The principal characters assumed were the
Daughter of the Regiment, the Genius Of Liberty,
the Highland Lassie, Oinska from Mazeppa, and
the Flower Girl, ON the part of the ladies' Among
the gentlemen, 0mer Pasha and Charles II were
seen in earnest conversation, while Corkonian
and the gigantic Metamora were tripping I" on the
light bombastic toe" as Mr.. Florence says and
Hamlet, Buckingham, Richmond and his beautifully
dressed page were in another part of the Even
the Emperor Of China gave the dancers the honor
of his celestial company The finest dresses were
Don Cesar de Bazan, which worn by PROBES
sor Munder and that Of Richmond, which
suit of light mail, similar to that worn by j. u.
Howe In his representation Of that character in
Richard III.
PERSONAL REscosTRE AND Strict FIsHT. Yes.
terday afternoon about o'clock, soon after the
adjournment of Congress, the Hon. VIM. Smith,
NJ G. from Virginia, met Mr.. Wallach, the editor
Of the Star on the Avenue near the corner OF
Eleventh street, and, accosting him, pronounced a
statement in the Star Of the day previous In reln-
ton TO himself TO be false. Mr. Wallach replied,
that II Mr.. Smith made that assertion, he pro-
noupced his assertion false whereupon Mr. Smith
struck Mr. Wallach, and both combatants grappled
a. - r.. -.
At length they fell to the ground with a mighty
shock and by the force of the fall, as in
formed, Mr.. Walsch's bowie knife fell out Of its
hiding place. and was thrown 10 some distance.
When the parties fell Mr.. Wallach was upper
moss but Mr.. Smith turned hin, and maintained
the upperhand until separated.
After minute or two Of severe humping and
scratching, the belligerents were separated. Mr..
Smith with his face badly bruised and marred, and
Mr.. WfIlach with one Of his fingers "catawam-
pously chawed up.n @
We have not heard that either of the parties
concerned in this fight have been arrested.
The article in the Star which led TO this rencon-
tire, consisted OF statement TO the effect that Mr..
Smith received the support Of the American party
at the late election in Virginia; the Star having
assumed that Mr.. Smith had said In the House the
day previous that he owed the American party no
thing, or words TO that effect Which assumption
was not supported by the facts.
