The following note, neatly printed, was received ince, which will explain how I happen to be writing from this place, and will serve a8 an introduction to the brilliant féte which came off here last evening—in relation to which I propose to send you these hasty remarks. The note is as follows:— “The U.S. Co1 Misses (&e. &c. kc.) com} given at West Point on “West Point, N. ¥., August 17th, 1844.” Tt was signed by ten managers.

Weentered, and the first coup d’@il of the immense and ele- gantly decorated saloon prepared for the occasion, was such as to strike the beholder with astonish- ment and rapturous enjoyment. The saloon com prised the entire ground floor of the building, with the exception of the left wing, which was reserved for the supper room, and embraced an area of up- wards of one acre; the place was hung round with various flags, banners and ensigns, and was very tastefully decorated with evergreens, interspersed with roses, woodbine and myrtle; and the whole was illuminated with several thousand variegated lamps and numerous chandeliers.
