BALLS LAST NIGHT.-The dancing season
commenced last night in good earnest. Co.
lumbia Fire Company Nc 5 made the fine
hall of the Exposition building glitter with
youth, gallantry and beauty. The gentle
men of this company have few equals in
managing fancy dress and masquerade

add their testimony. Some of the fairest
ladies graced the occasion with their pres

pleasure

MEETING OF THE NATURALIzED CITIZENS
OF New ORLEANs.-This association met
last night at No. l66 Common street. From
the appearance Of the assemblage it is very
evident that the foreigners have at last
found that their interests are identified
with the Republican party. The wish was
expressed that all naturalized citizens
would at once join the party to which they
properly belong, the Republican party.

4 Halifax dispatch Of Saturday. says:
It is reported here on trustworthy author,
ity that a treaty exist. and has been sign
ed by the British and Canadian govern.
ment for the separation oil this Dominion
from the British empire. The terms
were agreed to when the confederation
act was passed 10y the imperial parlia-
ment, but the treaty was not to take
effect for some years unless the British
government saw necessity for action
sooner. Ever since the confederation was
established the British troops have been
gradually Withdrawn from Canada. until
now there is scarcely soldier in the Do
minion outside of Halifax. There is no
doubt, should the difference between
GreaI Britain and the United States be.
come more serious, the British govern
ment will publish the treaty and proclaim
the independence Of Canada, and by that
means be relieved OF the necessity of de.
tending these colonies agains, the United
