Priee Two Cents, The Grand, Fashionable, Fouricrite, Metro- politan, Free-aud-Easy, Joint-Stock Faney Ball at Miss Sinuggins’. A FANCY SKETOH. The highly fashionable boarding house, over whose affairs the accomplished Miss Smuggins pre- sides with unequalled tact and digaity, was the scene of the greatest confusion and excitement for afortnight previous to yesterday. A grand fre and-easy Fancy Ball, under the management of some half dozen old bloods and young bankers’ clerks, was on the tapis, and ineffecting the neces+ sary arrangements, the whole house was neceseari- ly thrown into considerable disorder. 1t was, how: ever, submitted to with the greatest possible good nature by the “boarders,” amongst whom are some of the very sweetest, nicest,:most fashionable, most good-natured, and affectionate ladies in the city ; and amongst the gentlemen, several who are proba- bly unsurpassed any where for the luxuriance of their moustache, and the fertility of their resources for effecting that beautiful and very philosophical process, denominated “raising the wind.” The “boarders,” then, without a murmur, ate in the basement and kitchen, slept three in a bed in the garret rooms, and submitted to a thousand inconve- niences rather than hinder in the slightest degree the:progress of the magnificent, judicious, every- sort-of-shift preparations for the grand “free and easy” joint stock Fancy Ball. The whole of the second floor was thrown cpen, consisting of the dining room, Mrs. Green’s bed- room, Dr. Epsom’s apartment, and the two closets occupied by Mr. Seedy and Count Blowmynoseofl. Nothing could have been more brilliant than the tout ensemble of this elegant suite of rooms just be- fore the company began to arrive. Five Astral lampa with only two broken shades amongst them, had been borrowed for the occasion, and in addi- tion to the three belonging to the house, haifa dozen of Judd’s best sperm candles on the mantel pieces, and six very neat tin “sconces” nailed up between the folding doors, illuminated the apart- ments witha brilliancy far exceeding that of the noon-day sun. The decorations were remarkably unique and tasty. Tissue paper of all the colors of the rainbow had been cut into fantastic shapes and hung suspended from the ceiling in graceful fer- toons, The carpetshad been taken up, all the old tacks carefully nailed down, and after a tremen- dous expenditure of soap and water, the floors had, under the superintendence of Miss Molly O’Flana- gan, assumed a really clean appearance, and did not indeed look at all like boarding-house floors. — A very liberal supply of lemonade and any quanti- ty of delicious “dough nuts” and ginger bread,were placed on one of the large kitchen tables which had been transferred to the lobby. In the hurry and bustle before the ball commenced, a number of children, ostensibly belonging to some of the boarders, made a sortie on the gingerbread, but were fortunately repulsed by Count Blowmynose- off, who was then on his way from the kitchen with a shirt collar and wristbands, which Sally, one of the chambermaids, had kindly washed for him that afternoon, The third and fourth floors were also “thrown open;” and the attic suite of apartments, three in number, and usually tenanted by the goddesses of the spit and broom, were fitted up as dressing rooms. Altogether the ‘‘arrangementse” were in ad- mirable style, Miss Smuggins declared that every, thing looked charming. Mrs. Green said the same, and so did Mrs. Blown, andso did Mrs. How), and sodid Mrs, Splutter, and so did Mrs. Everybody, and all assured Miss Smuggins that she would posi- tively ‘‘astonish the Browns.” Miss Smuggins and all the lady boarders were now dressed und waiting | § up stairs in the attic, in a dreadful state of nervous excitement. They were all in a perfect flutter. Mr. Twitcher, Count Blowmynoseoff, Mr. Greens, and Mr. Diddler, the fashionable bank clerk, who had been particularly interested in getting up the ball, were also a little fidgetty. Like generals on the eve of a decisive battle, they were uneasy "till they saw how the thing went off. At length the company began to arrive, and in a very short time, the roomson the second floor were all aperfect jam. Such a motley crowd and such a various gathering has never been seen in this city since the eelebrated O’Degherty Fancy Ball, in 1840. All New York was there ; that is, allthe distinguished fashionables of the present refined, elegant, moral respectable régime. Ac- complished dry goods clerks and druggists—genteel barbers and bakers—elegant bar-keepers and but- ton-makers—charming Warehousemen and watch- stuflers—refined tobacconists and tailors—polite shoemakers and shirt-venders were there ; but the greatest portion of the males consisted of elegant men about town, who follow the highly fashion- able profession ot living by their wits. The ladies presented an equally agreeable and fashionable diversity of social condition. Division street, the Bowery, Waverly Place, and Broadway were all represented. Every caste and every style of beauty, from the saucy soubrette of the east end, to the dignified jady of a retired green-grocer up town, were there. It was a charming, republican, intarearak amusing, philosophical admixture of youth and wrinkles, nature and art, verdancy and cuteness, down-town and up-town—all seasoned and spiced with a prefusion of New York morality, decency, virtue and retinement. ‘Such a crowd! ‘Turks, Spaniards, Greeks, In- dians, Chinese, Irish, Swiss girls and Jersey girls, queens, ceases, peasants, loafers, brigands, nuns Valletta gypsies, all sorts of characters which the wardrobes of the Chatham, Olympic and Park, and the warehouses of Chatham street could furnish. The rooms were so small that the most amusing scenes occurred in ¢onsequence of the pressure. One fat, red-haired woman of forty, who appeared as Queen Victoria, vas crushed almost to death in a corner, where she was driven by an In- dian chief, and a fellow who appeared _in the very ropriate character of a jackass. Her majesty, after vainly struggling to cecape, at last went into hysterics, and was carried off in. the arms of the ickass, who emptied a tumbler of lemonade in her ce, effectually washing off the chalk and red paint, and sending her majesty shrieking to one of the rooms up stairs, when she again fell into the arms of Mr. Diddler, who persowated a pickpocket, and who was just then embracing a tall thin lady, dressed as Queen Esther. Mr. Diddlerimmediate- Ly disappeared, leaving the rival queens to arrange their regal robes, and recover their majestic digni- ty as they could. | There was evidently no squeamish—no affect- ed—no mock modesty amongst the ladies. Most of them made a most liberal displmy of their person- al charms—snowy Te Me are 4 busts—white round arms—divinely chiselled amkles—and limbs of faultlesssymmetry, were seen im all their naked loveliness, or half-concealed by the fascinating dra- pery of the thinnest guaze. | And their conduct was equally liberal and bewitchingly free from prudery, of each it might have been said— “' Favors to all—to all she smiles extends, Not once ever once offends.” They bore the crushing and the crowding with charming good nature, and altogether exhibited “THE FEAST | i a itt \ her real sex, and convulsing the crowd around with laughter. “To-morrow, then, my dearest’ “Do meen Jone hands off me, sir”’— “ What a bust!” “¢ Will your Majesty accept my hand ?”— “Sweet nun smile upon your slave”—_ “Come now, Jack, iell me where she is—— ‘Come hither: Ah, you precious pander ! villain, ‘Where is the lady ?— “Good lady, hear me with patience, and” — “Tell me, who is that voluptuous creature dressed as Queen Mab 3” “Oh! he, he, that “ Hush, ] see that Turk coming’ ¥ ‘Why, my eyes, Jim, that ere gal ia one of — “Oh! look there, what a woma tous- meure !” said an old, withered votary of yl dressed as ltomeo. ‘* What, do you mean the ‘No, no—the delicious creature—the Millinei"-— The Milliner. “ Oh!

We have castles in the air by the thousand, and surely there must be roads leading to them, We recullect a very leng publication, by BishopWilkine, maintaining the practicabii and even facility of travel- ling to the Moon, This Bishop was relly o learned man, and the friend ot Sir Isaac Newton, who, when the i established, made the prelate a member the subject of going to the ghable exposures of learned illusion. He first proves thut there ixa Moon, and then there is aworld in the Moon.

It will hardly be believed that even as late as 1802 the works of this Prejate were published in London In two thick vo ‘umes octavo. Perhaps it was Dr. Johnson's praises that induced the London trade to venture npon the rpeania- tion. Thesketch we have made is not only laughable, but may be turned to great ac for numerons scheme PAN WALTR Ve scheme youty afloat, fuily as absurd as Bishop Wilkina’s modes of travelling to the Moon.
