Ball at the Palace.

His Majesty the King entertained 3 large company
at Iolani Palace on Thursday evening last, At i soiTee
dansaHts and supper. 1t was the first really general
assembly since the accession, and WAS 8 perfect sue
cess in every particular. \ spacious pavilion for
dancing had been erected on the east end of the
main building and adjoining the Reception Room,
where at least a hundred couples at a time found
space for the saltatory exercise. On the west side of
the pavilion was a raised stage for the music, where
our own Military Band and that of II. B. MS 5.
Repuise. alternatei their enlivening strains The
pavilion itself was admirably constructed 50 as to
allow Of q free circulation Of air, was csrpeed with
canvas, and brilliantly Illuminated with brty-two
globe burners. The room was very tastefuly decor
ated with flags, flowers and evergreens, the result of
the e~xertious of Marshal Parke, ably assisted by the
signal-master and FIVE seamen of the Reprise. His
Majesty, accompanied by Queen Emma, received the
company with his usual graceful and corJal manner,
at the east end Of the pavilion, where the Royal
Standard was displayed. Dancing commenced at o
little before 9 O'Clock, and was CONTINUED with but
brief ~intermission until past midnight. To say that
the company was brilliant, will give bat an made
quate idea of the scene. The toilets If the ladies
were dazzling and quite bewildering n variety of
exquisite taste aud richness. 4 thoroughly accom-
plished Jenkins would have had ampe opportunity
for the exercise of his peculiar talent or description.
The glittering uniforms of the King'sstaff and of the
officers of the Repulse added to the 'plendor of the
scene. Ike supper tables were sprad in what was
formerly known as the Queens Huse, and were
loaded with every fruit and delicey to tempt the
appetite. Among the guests we ndiced Mr.. Peirce,
the American Minister Resident. Ar. Davies, H.. b.
MS Acting Commissioner and Cnsul General ami
lady, Admiral Hiilyar, Capt. CunR, and the officers
of the Reputse, and all the Foreigl Consuls resident
in the city. Rarely has the old 'alace, even in the
palmiest days of the Kamehauehas, witnessed a
gayer, more festive. or better contacted Royal Levee
than that of Thursday night.
