Catholic Beneuolent Society.--This pros
porous benevolent association held another of
its usual weekly meetings at its rooms last
night. 1t was exceedingly well attended, but
not crowded. The discussions were at once
ample aud diversified. About twenty-five new
members were elected and admitted. Commit
tees of management, arrangements, receptions,
&C., were agreed upon and appointed to make
preparations for it's inaugural ball, which will
come off at "Assembly Hail." on Wednesday,
the 26th instant. And we believe that of all
the balls that have for a long time been held
here, this promises to be among the most pc,
cuIiarly genteel and attractive. As we have
stated in former notices, the object of the So
ciety, while it is religious, is purely benevo-
lent, and although the ball in question is to be
given with the signal view Of defraying its pri.
marily incidental expenses, we prophesy that
its success will be no less grand than it will be
exquisite. But we will recur to this commen-
dabe and interesting subject anon.
