Jamison, Lieut. Wal- lingsford and Master Willis and Stcops, of the Seott Guards; and Lieut Chesney, Surgt Maher and Master Sengstack, of the Union {gfantry. The attendanceof ladies was quite large for the state of the weather, many of them being noted beauties and belles of such popular entertzinments. This ball was kept up until near day light, when al! retired as bappy as happy could be. An Imposter.—One evening last reek, a ‘son dressed asa mil ty Officer recorded ia name at Willard’s Hotel as Le Chevalier M. de Masi, and stated that be wished to have aroom. The proprietors had already refused several applications that day, ewing to their bouse beiaz full ereupon he stated he had the recommenidat of the Astor House, N. Y., to them, but which he omitted to produce. ‘fhe Messrs. Willard being well known for their hospitality, avd desirous to accommodate a@stranger thus commended to them, secured bim reom at Mrs. Cochran’s, where he stayed « couple of days, living in the best style, or- dering bis wines, &e. The day sfier he ar- rived here, he called upon Mr. Anderson, a boot and shoemaker on the Avenue, and tried ou a pair of boots, which he kept, and orderad @ pair of guiters and opera boots to be brought to hte toom that evening, when he would pay for tne whole. Mir. A. accordingly went there st the hour appointed, when, after having tried them on, and expressed himself pleased, be asked Mr. A. if be could change a $50 bill, te which he replied he could not, but would ge and get change; but no bill was ever shown. He then said he would go down and see if he could ebtain change, but returned without any He then told Mr. A. to eall on Monday morning, when he would pay him, but Mr. A. suspected all was not right; he tuok up the gaiter shoes and pumps, and said he would bring them with him on that day ; he could not get possession of the boots, as the Chevalier had them on his feet. Early on Sundey morning, whilst all were asleep, he aaess, broke the front door, and left. He ieft a letter on his ey ar tothe ope of the house, vetting that he could not have s pe terse with ber before leaving, but that be was unexpectedly called awa to join a ship lying at Boston. The following is Leite D of this swindler: height sbonc 6 feet 11 inehes, sge 25, had on a militar; eloak, gold epaulet on his right shoulder, a etar on his breast, a black silk band over his left eye, his waist encircled with a military sasb, such as is usually worn by officers of the French army Tus Fare last night was well filled, not- withstanding the unpropitious state of the weather. The gas seemed inclined to with- hold its assistance in bringing out the beauties of the exhibition, but the energy of the em- forced it to perform its office, after a of some twenty minutes. The gentle- a Sa tendent, Mr. Thos. C. Connolly, was igable in his endeavors to make visitorscheerful and comforiable ; music, both vocal and ee lent its oye to the varying scene, the gay laugh, flashing eyes, aud joyous faces of A young of both sexes, tolu of many happy hearts now enjoy- ing the heyday of youth. The Boon children were present, and favored the company — = couple of songs. A ty of gentlemen, 5 who as were rar at members of the Philharmonic Society, sang several giees, which were received with applause. Professor Sebeel accompanied them on the fine parlor deposited by Erben, of New York. At 10 oe ¢he band struck up the closing ‘otic air, the boys wheeled into line, keeping time with noisy tread to the martial strains, aud in a short time the vast audience had departed ; bat the laugh was wafted backed by the wind, seemed to around the turrets and towers of the noble building. Texarnicat.—The Union of tais morning gays: “We do not know whether the fault is in the theatrical world, or in the world of Ww but wedo know beg ege ae for a stock company for the Nation: Thetre in one of the New York papers for several days, the looked-for response cime wot. With one exception, the four theatres in Baltimore are indifferently supported, and it isa matte? of notoriety that the theatrical business is overdone in New York Philade- pais, and Boston. It seems strange that with @ sarfeited market in these cities, the failure already noticed should have taken p.ace; for Ww can and would afford a remunera- tive support to a properly conducted theatre. Tur Carrpewi Deceoatios.—This noble- looking body of Red Men arrived in our city last evening, in chi of Major D. B. Hern- man, their agent, tock loa; at Baker's Hotel, C street, between 4j and 6h.

Carriages —Wm. P. Hook has on exh:bi- tion a beautiful phaeton, which in point of workmanship, will fairly challenge comparison with any manufac urer in the United States. There is no extravaganc» about it, but ig both bent aud elegant, and is admirably adapted to the use of a gentleman of fortune It wust be tood that this carriage was not got up es Fair, since it is only one of a large number that he bas man- ufavtured during the past year, and which is placed there asa sample of the style of work that he produces.

Tin-Ware.—Mr. Joseph F Hodgson makes a fine display of tin-ware and stoves, both of his own and northern manufacture. The superier excellence of his own handiwork ia very apparent, a superficial examination of the different articles being sufficient to convince one uf that fact. He has beautiful coffee and 'Y | tea pots, the surface Ggured with varicua de- vices, which, as far as weight and appesr: go, Will readily pass for silver. A very unique je styles a Yankee nutmeg Grater, attracted the particular attention of the lady visitors, several declaring they must purchase it.
