A Ball of The French Empress

On The l7lh of April, her Majesty the
Empress of The French gives grand fam
cy dress ball al the hotel of her mother,
the Countess de MonIijo, in the Champs
Elysees, Paris. Invitations are already
issued, and it is said that some of the cos
tunes ordered viii be Of fabulous beau
" and price. The dress of her Majesty,
although simple enough in material, will.
oG course, surpass all others in msgnlti-
cence of precious stones. The Empress
intends 10 personaIe Diana equipped ioi
the chase. The dress is composed OF a
short skirt of ,ulle, embroidered with sill
yer stars and crescenls. The body is
made OF fesh-colored silk. She will
have suspended behind her golden quiz
er filled with arrows, the feathers Of
which will sparkle with diamonds. A
simple gold band encrcles the head. with
a large diamond crescent and two small
stars in front, pink silk boots with golden
ankels set with diamonds. Ii is said
that her Majesty, 10 ge, the diamonds in
the shape requisite for this dress, has
been Obliged to have. in conjunction with
her private Jewels. several Of the largest
pieces belonging TO the Crown diamonds
unset and re-mounled, and that the pauUre
complete will be estimated as worth more
than ten millions of francs. The already
beautiful hotel Of the Countess de Monn-
10 is undergoing alterations and arrange
mems for the feie, which will give il an
appearance of fairy-like magnifcence and
splendor. and i, is understood that the

The engineers, Mr.. Buchanan and Mr..
Owens, assisted Capt. Lacey and his wife
to the shore.
A large number Of the deck passengers
threw themselves overheard, and many
were drowned. One German most inhu-
manly left his two young children in their
beds TO be consumed by The fire while he
made good his escape 10 shore.
One poor Irish woman, who was con-
fined to her berth by The ST. ViIus dance
was lost.
Another Irish woman, with whom the
maternal feeling was as strong as life itself,
wrapped her little babe in a blanket and
safely reached shore with the precious
bundle in her arms. Her anguish may
be imagined when, 10 unwinding the
bIankel, she found her child sufocaled
and dead.
The number of cattle on board was one
hundred and sixteen. The groans and
howlngs Of these poor animals as the fire
ran along their backs and roasted them
alive, all tied by their horns to the for
ward and after guards, with no way of as
cape, IS described as most awful aud dis
lressIng.

this company 10 consider US not as Mary

| We arrived at Msrlinsburg for dinner
and there we were welcomed by two com
panes of volunteer soldiery, with their
music. One Of the companies was ar'Il-
lery, who were stationed al the cePo', and
welcomed US with national salute. Both
companies, considering the time lhey
have been organized, are excellently well
IdrIlled.
AT this point part of our train was
sent on TO Harper's Ferry TO dine, as The
Hotel at Marlinsburg was too small Tor
the accommodation of the entire crowd.
After dinner Col. SwilzIer, of the Lex
inglon, Mo-, Statesman, the orator ct The
guests, made few remarks 10 the citizens
of Mariinsburg, thanking them Tor the
handsome reception, and their unbounded
hospitality. He was followed by b. ii.

can of this city.
Tie train after this was soon on It's way
TO Harper's Ferry, where we arrived at
, p. NJ. Each guest, both lady and gen.
rleman, seemed anxious 10 view the place
made famous by The late "John Brown
Affair" Over half an hour was granted
the guests 10 inspect the engine house and
armory. At this point the guests were
met by i've companies OF military, COM
posed Of The workmen of the armorIes'
who acted as an escort 10 the patty IN
viewing the grounds. Here Col. SwlIzIer'
of Missouri, addressed the citizens, thank
ing them for their kindness and courtesy.
Capt. Duke, Of the military, responded
upon the part of the soldiers and citizens
in most beautiful manner, and was well
received by the entire crowd. Hon. Z.
Yellou beng called upon, made lew re-
marks in his usual eloquent style.
The train was soon again in motion Tor
our city, and after stopping al The Monoc'
acy and at Sykesville, we arrived al The
Washington Junction, where we were
met by John w. Garrett. Esq, the Pres.
iden, of The B. & o. X. r. Company and
some of our merchants who had, upon the
invitation Of Mr.. Garrett, come out III

We have never seen the Baltimore and
