THE PILGRIMS AND MRS. JARLEY.-The beau
tiful cantata of the Landing of the Pilgrims, at
City Hall, tonight promises to achieve a sue
cess equal to that of its first presentation last
week. Some of the leading parts have been
committed to new hands, rendered necessary by
the absence from town of several of the ladies
and gentlemen who originally appeared but
the piece will suffer nothing on this account,
as the new people are well qualified as every
body knows, and they have been studying care
fully. Chandler and his orchestra will furnish
the music, and 80 render the cantata more effec-
tive.
Chas Dickens inimitable creation of Mrs. JAR
ley and her wax figures is very suggestive to an
Soriginal mind and has prompted some of the
quaintest conceits and most humorous charac-
tiers that can be conceived Of In this instance
Dickens's model has been closely followed, and
the collection of curiosites 10 largely increased
innumbers, and they will be found fully up to the
standard. The show-woman's lecture is full Of
wit, humor and wisdom, and has some neat To-
cal hits that will be sure to bring down the au-
dience. We promise this after witnessing a
very amusing rehearsal

THE CALICO BALL-The dancing season cul-
minated last evening in one of the choicest and
most elegant parties that has assembled this
winter at City Hall. Promenade concerts, as
sembles, fancy dress parties, and masquerades
have abounded, and the newest notion was the
revival of genuine calico ball, where ladies'
costumes were confined to modest prints, and
silks, velvets and costly apparel was for the
hour almost rigidly tabooed. The company
was large; if we count only the dancers, then
there was as many of them as the spacious floor
could conveniently accommodate, while the
galleries were crowded with spectators who
watched with interest every varying scene be-
fore them, or criticised good-naturedly the
dresses on the floor below. Light and gay COL
ors predominated among the ladies' trains were
generally dispensed with, and simplicity and
neatness were the prevailing characteristics.
There was fine opportunity to study individ-
nal tastes, for memorable ballroom fashions
were disregarded; and truly, brighter, more
cheerful or sensible party is seldom seen in a
public ballroom than that gathered last night.
Quite number of the gentlemen it was OBJ
served, literally followed the rule and appeared
in full calico suits, while calico shirt bosoms
and neck-ties were abundant Staid fathers
and mothers, who thought 'their dancing days
were over" long ago, mingled with their sons
and daughters in the pleasures of the floor I'M
til late hour. Chambers full orchestra fur
p;ahad tho choioast music and an a1euant sun-
per was spread in the Reception Hall, to be
partaken of as the gay couples felt in the mood.
The object of the ball-a most praiseworthy be-
nevolence-will reap great benefit from this
festival
