HEBREW Ball, in aid Of the charity tund, came of
last night at the Academy Of Music and the mana

The Academy was filled with the wealth beauty,

SaSo. An these commingled aud moved without stint
thTouRh the vast reservoir OF the Academy. The
BALL IN the aggregate, was certainly the most mag.
Hi1oent Of the season, and every lady who was any
SOdy was there.
The parQuette and stage were boarded over for the
modation of the dancers, the dress circle and
gallenes being crowded with ladies and gentlemen
IN full dress. We regret exceedingly that we have
not space to devote 10 the description of particu ar
dIesses-a point on which we we're prepared to
crafty the taste and curiosity of readers gene
rally, and OF the ladies particularly.
Those who dOte on loveliness in dress as we'll as
iOveliness IN person and manners, will scarcely
content with the admission of the broad fact that
the Hebrew Ball of last night In this special essen
tialty Of dress, exceed, IN an eminent degree, any
Of the entertainments yer gwen
We have attended the balls of this society in years
gone by, and can say with positive knowledge that
although those of former years were considered
excelsior, and attended by the creme de Ia creme of
the Israelites of the CITY, with fair proportion of
the opposite iaith-the one of last night was the

MI Isaac BinswanRer oficiated as Master of CerS-
MONIES discharged the duties of ms position in
the most gentlemany and satisfactory manner. He
was assisted by Messrs. h. w Arnold, Il. Gunsen-
hauser Henry Cohen, H. Weller, NJ Rosenbach,
and Dr. Judah Isaacs as Floor Managers and from
the commencement of the exercises until the close,
these gentlemen gave incessant attention to the
comfort and wants of their patrons.
Mr.. mark Hassler was chef d' Orchestre, and the
orchestra itself was composed of the first insru-
mentalists Of Philadelphia, which might OF course
be expected from the simple fact of the Hasslere
being IN the ascendancy, The fine music was
marked and prominent feature of the evening and
gave great satisfaction. Towards 10 O'Clock the
bali was opened by the performance of the Lrand
Coronation March, by Meyerbeer, which was
played with regularity precision, and we'll accented
movement. MeyerbeeT. though at tpeg a rather
hoiGestible and sOmeW hat msipld composer TO the
muses., has in his composition met Ioyalty with
rePai, harmonious splendor.
The programme was carried through as prepared
by the committee, consisting of twenty members,
well selected, fairly divided as to grade and cha.

most approved authors with a sprinkling of Hass.
