The annual ball OF the Neptune Club was given
last evening at Ferreros Apollo Hall, Twenty eighth
street and Broadway The festivals OF this associa-
ton are always looked forward TO as among the
events OF the season. aud each annual recurrence OF
Its Tcrpsichorean demonstration is always hailed
with gladness by highly select circle.
The ball last night had excited the usual
interest, and the occasion had been marked
with white stone by dozens OF fair hands, but even
the most sanguine were agrccaby surprised at the
brilliancy and seectness OF the assemblage that
gathered last night to do honor to the yearly fes,-
val OF this favorte association. The members OF
the Neptune Club long since demonstrated their
but until last night did they really know how
large a number looked to them to provide winter
recreation for their friends.
The elegant hall in Twenty street last night
presented the most brilliant appearance II has ever
exhibited since It's opening AS early as ten O'Clock

number present was large enough TO Nh every avail

gramme OF twenty -four dances, enclosed In silver
shell, was handed TO each iady w she entered the
room, and each dance was followed by promenade
music. To these unique programmes the eyes OF the
devotees Of Terpsichore were eagerly turned, aud
each dance In turn was engaged In with q gusto
which was truly enthusiastic. The ladies seemed to
know no such thing as fatigue and their fortu

their more sombrey dressed cavaliers moved In the

would be an impossbility; all that can be said is
that O rule they were elegant to the last degree.
To picture the politeness or the gentlemen or the
beauty OF the ladies would be work OF supereroga-

The spanish Revolution.

The one new and striking feature of the
Spanish revolution is the affection which is
manifested towards America, Americans and
American institutions. The part which was
played in Cadiz during the recent struggle in
that city by Captain Farrell, our Consul there
rebounds to his honor and the honor Of the
United States According to our special
cable dispatches the Captain, in uniform and
holding the American flag in hand, mounted
one of the barricades, and when the ARRAY
was at its height called upon the combatants in
the name of liberty to desist and shed not
brothers blood. The appeal, which was noble,
was not without success, for soon hostilities
the insurgents loudly proclaimed in favor of
republic and enthusiastically cheered the
United States. The influence of our free insti-
tutions on Europe and the world needs no
higher proof than this. The report of our late
war and the echo of its magnificent result have
reached the obscurest hooks of Europe and
kindled hope in every bondmans heart.
Everywhere now where there is oppression
and where there is wrong the name of the
United States is associated with the home of
liberty. 1t is no longer possible to refuse to
admit that whatever may be the feelings and
desires Of the acknowledgements, or the
feelings and desires of the upper classes, or
the feelings and desires of Churc hmen, the
humber classes in Spain go in for repub-
lie. Our example is thus telling, and will
tell more and more The oDnressed If all
lands look to us for sympathy. 1t is our
duty to give it. Our success woke up the
slumbering energies of the great German
people and secured for them unity, plan and
power. Spain, awaking from the slumber of
ages, now seeks the light The contagion will
spread until confederated Europe, dispensing
with kings and kaisers, shall rejoice in new
found liberty, in nobler enterprise and ever
increasing comfort.

HAVANA, Dec. IL. 1868.
The Dtdrto de Ia Marina the leading journal in
the Spanish interests here says that within the u
rlsdiction OF Santiago de Cuba crops will be
gathered this year. The insurgents carry OF the
coffee as fast as IL rlpens and feed the sugar to
their horses
IL also publishes accounts OF the restitution pre-
vailing In Santiago de Cuba, which 1t says is heart
rending and whichever party wins 1t is certain that
the prosperity OF tho Eastern department Is ruined
for years to come.
The same paper says that the volunteers in Santiago
ask OF the government that arms be given them i'm
mediaely so that they may be led against the revou
onists now infesting the country in the vicinity OF
that city, and adds that these parties not revou
tonists, but common robbers. 1t also states that
the accounts OF the capture OF the village of Cobre
by the insurgents, as published in the New York
Journals, Is untrue
The Dtarfo also charges that there have been
many cases Of violation OF women by the insurgents;
but the Cubans Indignantly deny these reports ana
say that, that journal does not publish the names
OF any OF the persons or the localities in which the
acts said to have been committed the statements
are undoubtedly false.
