NUMBERS SECOND MAY BALL.-This affair
came of on Tuesday night, as beautiful and mag
nihcent in all its appointments as the first Among
the dances that particularly delighted us, in COM
mon with the entire audience were the follow
ing Pas de Trois, by Scott Towers Annie Nor
gan, and Kate Crozieri La Manola, by Jennie
Munder; the Scotch Dance, by eight small chill
dren; the crowning scene in the Shawl Dance
and the American Flag Dance, composed for the
occasion by Munder himself; Introducing all the
national airs, and performed by thirty two bows
and girls beautifully costumed. This dance il
truly q magnificent performance-at once immor-
taltzing the composer by becoming itself a per-
Petual American favorite. Ii is soon to be pub
IShed IN beautiful style, with stage directions,
when II will undoubtedly become very popular
We must not close our notice Of this ball without
mentioning the final performance which wa, the
Highland Fling, by Munder himself in full cos
tune IL Is probably needless to say that the ex.
ecution Of this dance excited universal and un-
bounded aPPlause.-Usioa.

MIR. EDITOR Having casually dropped in yester-
day evening to witness the performances of the ORA
matte Association, at Forrest Hall, Georgetown,
had the pleasure of not only witnessing some very
good acting, but of listening to very good music
Among the pieces played by the orchestra was
Polka Composed by Professor Esputa and dedicate ed
10 the ladies of Georgetown. The musicians did
Justice to the composition of the talented author
and really have seldom heard any music which az
forded me so much qualification.
rs TO be hoped that Professor Esputa will enable
the public at large to judge of the ceencies of this
musical gem. BY publishing il and if he does So
venture to predict for it very great popularity with
the lovers Of good music

MAsrILLAs AND SHAwLs.-The manufacturing Of
Manti!las ard Silk Shaws for ladies' is new thing in
this city. but the improvement in style, beauty and
alto'ss sere manufactured in Europe, and imported
into This country wiki heavy duty, which, with the
importers profit added TO the cost, made them very
EXP. nsive arccs and raised them beyond the reach
of all but the wealthy. Nor they made in this
cyuutry and are sold at less than half their cost ten
y,arS ago.
We copy the above from violent aud severely
anti Protective journal, printed in this City. The
Editor happened for moment to forget his poll
tee, and 50 bundered into telling the truth. What
be asserts Of Maptillas and Silk Shaws is true of
every ws.e or fabric which, having formerly been
almost exclusively imported, is now extensively
manufactured in cur own country.

HALIFAX, Wednesday, Aug. IL, 1851


The lines have been partially repaired, and wo now
transmit the concluding portion of the public DISPATCH
which has been delayed by the heavy storm, and con-
sequent arrangement Of the wires.
The following meagcr particulars OF the great race
for the Goodwood Cup, gather from the i.verpoo'
papers. None Of the accounts OF hand give the ame
of any of the horses. The French horse Monarque
won the race. The English horse Riseber Is placed
second and Fisherman third. Gunboat slipped ana
fell, and Gemmadi vergy also fell heavily. Monarque
won by head, and Riseber beat Fisherman by about
three lengths. Anton was placed fourth, and was
three lengths behind Fisherman. The Amsncan
horses Prior and Pnoress were placed fifth and sixth,
and the English horse Melissa seventh All the others
pulled up. The finish is said to have been the most
exciting ever witnessed. The English papers remark.
but without assigning apy reason, that the American
horses would have figured more prominently had they
been ridden by English jockeys.

The price Of beef cattle has now reached point
that must either have the effect to produce greater
supply, or the inhabitants of cities must lessen the
consumption Of meat. We have chronicled. dur
ing the lsst elk months, many most extraordinary
sales of bullocks in our regular reports of tae
Cattle Market, and noted days when all the cattle
in maj kct sold at prices such as theo butchers
In the city never had before dresmed of' and eer-
ta;nly no one supposed would be eqaa!ed again
In this all were mistaken. Two thousand head OF
bullocks sold yesterday at Balls Head at higher
prices for tie meat taking into account the quality
and the fact that hides and fat are one and halt
cents q pound lower than last Spring, than beef
wss ever sold for in August in the City of New.
York, If not in fact higher than beef of the same
quality was ever sold in America at any season Of
the year. Whole droves If Ohio steers, right from
the era.s in just fair condition to commence feed
ing TO n,ke sal-fed beef cold at prices equivalent
to l9A cents pound for the beef while hundreds
Of the best cattle offered none Of which were eI-
trsordnary sold at IL and IA cents pound for tue
beef. VIA. are We coming to
