THE ball given bv the British Benevolent Society
at the Music Hall last Thursday evening. was 4
happy success, both financially and socially. The
music was excellent, all enIoved themselves
thoroughly and the occasion will long be remem-
bered by those present IS altogether pleas
ant. II was noticeable. however, that there
were more gentlemen than ladies, which was
doubtless accounted for by the fact that other
meetings took place in the city at the same time.
The price Of fish in the market at present is
higher than it has been for ONE time before. We
do not understand how it is that a single ordinary
sized fish costs one or two dollars here, when in
San Francisco the same may be bought for one
third or at least one-half that amount. The high
price Of this article of food surely cannot be owing
to scarcity. for there are any amount of fish in our
waters. and if they. continue so high priced it
might pay for somebody to form n company and

We have heard Of a man in this city who don't
know how to drive a horse although he is an irwin
chile driver of the pen. This " curious specimen -
it seems was on 4 8 tramp " last Sunday and was
picked up by a person riding in a carriage who
him to drive, but, in his hands the steed
unmanagable or rather, as he declared, the
streets were too narrow and the blamed lamp
posts ought not to be so near the road" After
such an excursion and casual exhibition of skill we
expect the modest author of ga country ride -
will give MS another choice literary morsel entitled
"a modest tramp taken from the road and given
the reins runs foul of a telephone post"
VERY few vessels make ready to leave this port
having stowaways discovered on board.
The class who undertake to evade the law of the
Kingdom by failing TO get a passport and endeavor-
ing to steal away are generally hardly worth re-
tanning. OF late there have been more stowaways
discovered than usually, and there can be no
doubt but that some are successful in getting out
of port before they are apprehended, for %notwith-
standing the utmost vigilence Of the police, it is
possible with the aid Of a confederate among the
crew Of a vessel. for a person tn secrete himself
among the cargo. so that it would be all but inn
possible to find him. 7
