Mr. Thompson, of Phila., personated the Dissipated Gentleman, or “The Hard Young Man,’ and_so well did the seedy individual perform bis part, that the | room managers were actually inclined to think him no | mre imitator, but a genuine specimen, who had, by some ineans, intruded himself upon the company, and | it was deemed advisable to address him in person, and | to demand how he obtained admittance ; a word, how- | ever, was sufficient to place matters right, and the hard ‘un was left to himself and his assumed character, Col. John R. Thompson, of Princeton, N. J., sustain- ed the assumed character of Wm. Penn, adding much | to the hilarity of the occasion, by his excellent delinea- tion, His “thee-ing” and “thou-ing” was inces- sant; and while he could see “no way to put a stop to the dissipation and wickedness ” which “ grieved ” him so “sorely,” “the spirit moved’? him to “lift up” his voice at all times against it. He appeared, however, to enjoy the scene quite as well as his less primitive aseociates, Major Talcott, of the U.S. A., who was severely wounded at Cerro Gordo, appeared in the full dress uniform of the Voitigeur Corps. The Major has a sol- dierly figure, but the effects of his wound evidently interfered with his waltzing E. G. Taylor, Esq., of Washington, D. C., “ Earl of Moret,” Courtier to Louis XIV.

Besides the dishes, substantial and ornamental, which are mentioned above, there was upon the board every delicacy of the season, and an unlimited supply of champagne, of the real brand. In short, there was no want of anything which could be consistently sought at such a time and place. The very best order prevailed, notwithstanding the great quantity of corks which bestrewed the floor at one o'clock. The dancing was kept ug with great spirit for some time after supper, and the last ladies did not retire from the room till about hall-past two o’clock, After their fair companions had left the ball, the gentlemen who were not disposed to retire, got upa small figure on their own acc: it was, however, conducted in good order, nagers being present. But an end must come things, and at a quarter before three o’clock, the grand fancy dress ball, of the 11th and 12th of August, became one of the things of the past. When the floor was clear- ed, and the musicians had left their places, the man- agers assembled and partook of the usual ‘managers’ repast.?” They made it the occasion to congratulate themselves upon the very happy result of their labors, and pledged each other, and drank the health of their guests, in sparkling Heidsickfand then retired, and silence soon assumed the place of the late notes of re velr, In relation to this very pleasant affair. it only remains to be said, that it takes ence over all similar balls which have gone before. ommittee disposed ofelev- enortwelve hundred dollars worth of tickets,and the roprietor of the house must have been well repaid fer is enterprise in going his part handsomely.

Any person who knows anything of human nature, will understand the ferocity with which the Irish will fight under such circumstances. Hence, we say, it will be, in case the s ruggle be delayed, one of the bloodiest on record. If the government be worsted at the onset, it may, considering the peculiar and dangerous condition in which Eng- land is placed, withdraw from the contest, and en- deavor to save the empire by giving up a part We shall see. We are happy that tranquility reigns in France. A httle while longer, and the republic will be safe, and beyond all peradventure. We refer our read- ers to our telegraphic intelligence. We shall probably receive our foreign files in the course of this forenoon, If they arrive in time, we shall publish copious extracts in the afternoon and eve- ning editions. Cana, Banx or ALpany.—Granp Exrose.— We give, in another part of this day’s paper, the report of the special agents appointed by the Comp- troller, to investigate the affairs of this “Little Monster,” and the evidence of teller, book- keeper, and general clerk, relative to the general business of the Bank, and the movements of the president and cashier, and some of the directors, on the afternoon and evening previous to the sus- pension. The cashier, und the discount clerk, (whois brother-in-law of the cashier,) refused to be examined. The whole affair is, without ex- ception, the richest exposé of the machinery of banking, ever presented to the public; which is saying a great deal, when we take into considera- tion the numerous explosions during the past ten years. If the facts here presented are not suffi- cient to condemn to eternal infamy the perpetrators of such gross and glaring frauds, bank directors, presidents, and cashiers, can swindle the public, hereafter, with impunity. What course the authorities will pursue in the premises is yeta matter of much doubt. The cashier has already been arrested, upon the charge of an individual, for extracting money from him under false repre- sentations, and it is very probable that the grand jury of the county will plaee the subject in a proper position for judicial investigation. The modern sehool of financiers, will, without doubt, take much interest in this affair; and it will afford them matter for reflection, and, per- haps induce some of our banking institutions to put their houses in order, to avoid, if possible, a similar result. That there are at this moment, dozens of banks in this and many other States in the Union, in no better condition than the Canal Bank of Albany for months previous to its final suspension, there is no doubt, but the period of their explosion depends entirely upon the depth in which their managers are involved in their affairs. As soon as the officers and directors have drained them of all the assets, we may expect a collapse ; and such is our opinion of the history of bank di- rectors and officers generally, that we are pre- pared at all times for developements, calculated to alarm those not so intimately acquainted with the machinery of banking in all parts of the world. ‘Theatrical and Musical, Bowery Tuxatne.—Opera and ballet are to be the chief amusements at this house, this evening ; and Signora Ciocea, Miss Turnbull, and Miss Taylor will all appear, as also Mrs. Phillips and Mr. G. W. Smith, Signora Siocca is well known as a most elegant and beautiful danseuse, who, since her arrival in this eoun- try, bas been an immense favorite wherever she has yerformed. Mr Hamblin has done well and liberally to engage her at this time, and thus afford his patrons most elegant amusements, To-night Signora C. will appear in the grand ballet of the «Magic Flute,” as Lisa, a part sheyfills to perfection, Miss Turnbull also, will appear in the course of the evening, in the “Polka Nationale,’ which she will dance with Mr. G. W. | Smith, and thus, will afford an opportunity to the ad- | mirer of both of these beautiful danseuses, to compare their different styles of dancing. Both are excellent— | both are beautiful, and both have troops of admirers; | consequently, an exciting time may be anticipated. | Previous to the ballet, the opera of “Cinderella” will be performed, Miss ‘Taylor playing Cinderella. All | the music will be given, and we doubt not the opera will be well perse. The farce of‘ Nix, the Cabman,” in which John Wirans is so comical, will conclude the entertainments. Nivxo’s.—The “ Merry Wives of Windsor,” will be nutes past 3 o'clock, and finished at 10 minutes past 6 o'clock, —— Interesting from Washington. ‘We give under the head of “ Intelligence by the | Mails,” all the Congressional proceedings of Satur- day, received to the hour of going to press. They are not complete, in consequence of the rupture in | thegtelegraph line, and there being but one mail from Washington on Sundays. What we have re- ceived is of considerable interest, The session | closes to-day, and we are in the hope that the tele- | graphic wires will bein order, to enable us to give the closing scenes in our afternoon edition. ‘The Forelgn News—The Antlelpated Revolu- tion in Ireland. We are in receipt of one week’s later jntelli- gence from Europe, by the arrival of the steam- | ship Acadia at Boston, yesterday. As it was ex- pected that this steamship would bring intelligence of the highest importance from Ireland, her arri- val was anxiously looked for; anda tremendous excitement existed frem the time when she was telgraphed until the Extra Herald was issued. This excitement was not at all calmed when the | news was published. It was, in fact, rather in- | creased, and the general impression prevailed, that a collision between the people of that country and the government was inevitable. | After carefully weighing the intelligence*brought hy this steamship, we are decidely of opinion that the aflairs ot Ireland have, really and at last, reached a crisis. The streets of Dublin and of other cities may, and in all probability have, ere | this, been drenched with blood. We do not see how-such a state of things could be avoided. As will appear by the extracts published in to-day’s pa- per, the government have determined, if possible, to | Meagher, Dohery and others. If this1snot actual re- yolution, itis something in its immediate neighbor hood. Tous, it looks as if danger was imminent,and | mined to avert it if possible. But can they do so? Rewards may ve offered for the capture of O’Brien and his fellow patr.ots, but we mistake very much the Irish character if they will be of any effect. But even ef they be captured and tried by packed juries, and transported to Bermuda or New South Wales, will the anticipated revolution be checked? Notabit. There ave men in the back ground— men who have not yet been named even, who are prepared to take their stations when the proper time arrives. Kevolutions never go backwards. Even adimutting that thére are people in Ireland base enough to yield to the temptation that is ofiered to them, one, two, three, aye, a hundred, are ready and prepared to strike against the gol yernment. It will come to this ere long, or it will come to nothing, and the next steamship wil furnish ws with data sufficient to enable us to form an accurate opinioa. One thing, however, of the government are on a gigantic scale, and be stronger, wider, and more powerful than ever. | We adhere to the opinion which we formerly expressed, that this impending revoluion wiil be either one of the bloodiest on record, or it will be the least ploody.

THE CRISIS IN IRELAND. Tranquillity in France. THE MARKETS, &e, he. &e. The steamship Acadia, Captain Stone, arrived off Boston yesterday noon, in fifteen days from Liverpool. She sailed thence on Saturday noon, the 29th ult. She anchored in Broad Sound, in a thick fog, where she remained throughout last mght. Our correspondent says :— Boston, Suxvay Evenina, 8 O’Clock. ‘The steamer is still at anchor off Nahant, in a thick fog, and will not be up till morning. The agent has sent a steamer for her maile, The mails may reach this city to-night, by the New Haven route ; it is not certain, however. We shall know positively this morning. The Boston telegraph line worked beautifully and rapidly. ‘Two wires were in use through to Boston. All the news published this morning, came over the lines in three hours working time: There had beenno open outbreak in Ireland; but the affairs of that country had reached a crisis. The greatest preparations were making by the English government to meet it by a tre- mendous force. The authorities had offered a reward of $2500 for the arrest of Smith O’Brien, and $1500 for Thomas F.. Meagher. Consols closed at 86} Everything was quet in France. The Crisis in Ireland, [From the London Chronicle, July 28.] No outbreak in Ireland up to Friday, July 27. It seems tolerably certain that we are on the eve of an insurrection, whether it has actually ex- ploded ornot. Reluctant as we are to say any- thing inculpatory of government at such a time, we cannot but express our surprise that Lor Clarendon should have allowed the leaders of tne movement to leave Dublin, knowing, as he must have known, that the announcement of Lord, John Russell's measure would be the signal to the crisis. If he should not have arrested them legally, he should have exer- cised his legal powers to do so, and asked for an indemnity. However, that is feet now, and they are at liberty to fight. We have always given them credit for being bold, unscrupulous rebels, and we think so still. Indeed, they chose it; they could not retreatnow. Their Giaddened followers would keep them by force at their head, and we understand that they have fully compromised them- selves with government, by their proceedings of the last tew days; so we cannot avoid the conclusion that the conflict is impending; and certainly never will the government ot this country engage in one with a clearer conscience of right, or a more unanimous concurrence of all loyal and thinking men. It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the vast amount of passive disloyalty which exists in Ireland, the actual excitement of the more danger- ous character is very much less widely diffused than might have been expected. ‘The west and north are comparatively free from the contagion, though for very different reasons. The accounts which we receive from Kerry, Clare, and nearly the whole of Connaught, are favorable as regards present tranquillity, and the apparent absence of excitement among the people. In these counties the people are more primitive, more sub- ject to the influence of their clergy, which 1s atpre- sent exerted to prevent rebellion, and more af- jected by physi al depression, of extreme distress. The organization of the clubs has, in very few in- stances, been established to the west of the Shan- non; nor have we. heard, except in Galway, of any preparations being made for insurrection ; cer- tainly, no alarm is felt among the gentry. Ulster is safe: The demonstration of loyalty and of phy- sical force made by the Orange men, on the Toth of July, has precluded the possibility of any gene- ral outbreak in that province. We do not expect even partial risings there. In the northern and midland counties of Leinster, the case 1s different ; the people ar an energetic, de- termined race, the descendants of the Snglish, comparatively well off, and the great majority Ro- man Catholics. Their character and organiza- tion render them less prone to the wild exc:te- ment of the Celtic South; but they are thorough- ly Anti-English in feeling, and feill ek sure to rise “it they see a chance of jsuccess.. Accordingly, though not immediately menaced, we should not be at all surprised on hearing of the movements in Louth, Meath, West Meath, and even Dublin and Wicklow. On the whole, however, there seems reason to suppose that at firstthe insurrection will be confined to six or seven counties, namely: Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Tipperary, and Kings. Nothing that we hear gives us reason to apprehend that it ought will be either a difficult or tedious matter to deal with. In the two menaced provinces there are nearly 30,000 troops and 5,000 constabulary ; and notwithstanding all rumors to, the contrary, we are convinced that the latter will fight as well as the former. On the other hand, the rebels cannot muster even an equal number of armed men, and among them there must be the most hopeless de- ficiency, not only in military leaders andjin mutual confidence, but in amunition, provisions, and eflective weapons, ‘There will be pikes in abundance; butin the open fields the pike, in the hands of undisciplined men, 1s a yery ineflective arm. It is probable that bar- ticades may be t.ied in Cork, Waterlord, and Limerick ; but we believe that the naval and mili- tary forces which command those towns are such as to puta lengthened résistance out of the ques- tion The insurrection will then resolve itself into a guerilla warfare, and in that case we fear that a great injury may be done to life and pro- perty ; but even this cannot last long. The sea- son of the year is against them, Every one who is familiar with the aspect of rural “districts in Ireland, knows that in Tul there is hardly any cora left in the country, ‘There are not potatoes this year, and we have no doubt that a long notice which we have had of what is now coming, has allowed a large proportion of the farmers to take measures for placing their stock in places of safety. A very short time, accordingly, will suf- fice to starve the rebels out of the mountain fas' nesses in which they will take refuge, and wi which, indeed, if it be necessary to pursue them, the constabulary are as well acquainted as them- selves. If the improvable contingency of an‘ ex- tensive and prolonged rebellion arise, all other considerations must be sacrificed to the preserva- tion of life and property in Ireland, and ef the integrity of the empire ; but as we firmly believe that the regulars and constabulary will put down the rising at once, we cannot agree with those who advocate making the affair a civil war of re- ligion by arming the Orangemen of the North.— Such a course would lay the foundation of future evils analogous to those of which the present cri- sis is the natural result and commencement. The Lord Lieutenant has issued a proclamation for suppressing the clubs. The Luropcan Times, says:— ‘ During the past week Liverpool has been in astate ot great excitement, consequent upon the present aspect of political affairs in Ireland, and the numerous body of repealers and confederates who reside here. Their designs have caused the local authorities to set about preparing for any outbreak, should such be attempted. During the week, the mayor and magistrates have been actively engaged in swearing in special constables, and this body now numbers 20,000 ‘The authorities are increasing the police force, which is to number 8300. The men, in addition to their usual duties, have been drilled to the use of the cutlass and firelock, on the principles of the Trish hl ta aig The military force has been greatly augmented. On Friday evening, a company of the Royal Horse Artillery, with their guns, arrived at Monk's Ferry, by railway, and at 3 o’clock on Sunday momiing, were conveyed over to Liverpool. Be- sides, there are the nisth foot, two companies of the Sist, and an entire battalion of the 6th rifles, and a squadron of the 4th Dragoon Guards. The $9th also arrived, but has since embarked for Doblin. ‘The correspoadent of the London Chromele, Dublin, July 26, says:—The admiralty steamer Benshee entered Kingstown Harbor this morning, with a Queen’s messenger, who we express from London, with a copy of the act for suspending the haleas corpus. A special train was at once provided, and & messenger proceeded by Jo: teeth Government number of drrests, r persons heretofore not counected with the Reroiionaie maze to be taken up. At this hour (half past 4 o’c! the Attorney General and Solicitor General are at the Castle, and it has been arranged that the: warrants are to be issued this afternoon, Mr. Smith O’Brien, ond several other leaders, pow organizing the clubs throughout the country, are to be taken into custody to-night, and if the attempt to arrest them should not lead to an out- break, they will be brought up to Dablin to-mor- row. The accounts trom the South this morning are really most alarming;.the confederate leaders appear to be so insane us to contemplate an insur- rection; and, indeed, already they have gone little short of an actual outbreak. The deepest anxiety and apprehension prevail. é Amongst the gentry and the well disposed of all classes, gentlemen have come upto make ie eae sentations to the government of the state of their’ districts, and requuing arms for their tenantry to defend their families and property against any in- surgent movement. Lord Farnham, trom Cavan, and magistrates from Wicklow, Meuth, and other counties, have been in attendance at the Castle to- ay. The danger is imminent, but the Lord Lieute- nant is well prepared, and determmed promptly to crush, if he cannot prevent, any insurrection forced on by the wicked men who are now en- deavoring to produce a convulsion. Troops are constantly arriving from England, and departing for the South, where the danger is most pressing. At one o’clock to-day a regiment of eavalry re~ ceived a sudden order for Kilkenny. Atroop of the 8th Hussars, en route from Cork to Newbridge, has been ordered to halt at Kilken- ny, Where it is to be stationed for the present. Four companies of the 89th, which landed thi morning trom England, marched direct for Ki kenny ; the remainder of the regiment on its ar- rival here, will proceed to the same destination at an early hour. m At an early hour this morning, the troops of the 17th Lancers, with two pieces of ordnance, left town for Dunshaughlin, county of Meath, where disturbances are apprehended. The police in the out stations in the disturbed eounties, who would be comparatively defenceless in case of outbreak, have been ordered to concentrate at the chief sta- tions. The government securities have declined fully 14 per cent, at our Stock Exchange, to-day. Cor sols fell from 85 to 83§. Notwithstanding all this alarm, for which, unfortunately, there were ample rounds, I shal! cling to the hope that there will be no insurrection. ndlaed, my belief is as strong iL as before, that there will be no serious out- break, and that the government willbe able to crush at once any insurrectionary attempts. ‘The squadron of Sir Charles Napier has arrived at Cove. Her rune the Countess of Claren- don, with some of the children of the Lord Lieu- tenant, left Kingstown this morning for England, T have seen letters from Galway, Roscommon, and even trom Tipperary, which state the conviction of the writers that there will be no outbreak. The troops are located in various parts of the town, and can be at any point on the shortest no- tice. The proceedings of the disaffected have been such that a petition has been sent to Parlia- ment, signed by the Earl of Sefton, the Mayor, and a great number of the respectable merchants and inhabitants of the town praying that the provision of the new Irish habeas suspension bill may be applied to Liverpool; but this is a matter upon which the government had not yet decided. In consequence of Smith O’Brien’s proceedin, at Mullinahone, where a large meeting was late! held by Doheny, the government have issue orders tor the formation of a camp there, as well as at Pilltown, already formed near the seat of the Earl of Desborough _ At the Irish Mining Company’s works, near Bal- lingany, county peta; the workmen all re- turned to their work yesterday, and arms that were taken trom several parties the day before, rendered to their owners. Our latest accounts from Ireland state that ar- rests for training and dulling had taken place at Drogheda ; that it was rumored that Smith O’Brien had been captured ; that the police had made a search for arms im forty-jhree houses at the same instant of time. _ Stamps were refused on Thursday for the Felon and the Nation, which, therefore, could not appear yesterday, inasmuch us they were not to be trans- mitted through the post-oflice ; if despatched otherwise to the provinces, the police were to seize them at every point. ‘Warrants were positively sent to the South on Thursday, for the arrest of the jnarges leaders. ‘The names are mentioned, including Mr. Meagher, Mr. J. Dillon, Mr. O'Gorman, Jr., Mr. Doheny, Mr. Darcey, Mayo, &c. Mr. Devin Reilly has re- turned to the North. Mr. Lalor has gone to the Leinster border. Mr. Mayo is also breathing country air; and the whole “ mens phalanx,” as Mr. S, O’Brien once termed the Confederation, seems broken and routed. [From the European Times, July 29.) The state of Ireland has been the absorbing theme of interest during the week. The confederates in all the fury of despair, now entirely throw off the mask, and declare their unequivocal purpose, first to kill and capture the, 40,000 troops station: in Ireland, and then establish a real republic. The events of the last ten days have opened the eyes of every genuine lover of order and real liberty; and all disguise Veing cast aside, the only question 18, in what mode to crush the foul rebellion which has. almost broken out. : After the announcement in our last number, of the intention of Lord John Russell to propose a suspension of the habeas corpus act as respects Ire- land. Our readers will be prepared for the most vigorous measures. Accordingly on Saturday, the 22d inst., his lordship, in a clear, unanswera- ble speech, which was only interrupted by the ap- proving shouts of almost every member in the Hroure of Commons, moved for leave to bring in a bill, which is known as e suspension of the habeas corpus act, by which the Lord Lieutenant of Ire- land, for the’ time beaks 1s empowered to appre~ hend and detain, until the first of March, 1 such persons as shall act, against the queen and government. One of our London correspondents describes the scene in the House of Commons, as one of the most exciting ever witnessed. The quiet, resolute tone, of Lord John Russell, who spoke in his best style, was not more admirable than the timely and judicions observations of Sir Robert Peel, who cordially supported the ministers; nor could any: better proof’ be given, of the practical character of our English institutions, than the universal appro- bation which cheered every sentence of the minister of the crown; whilst, when Mr. Fergus O'Connor spoke, almost every member rose and quitted the House. The bill was passed through every stage on Saturday, and was carried to the House on Monday ; then the rules or orders were suspended, which, from its not being a money bill, was unnecessary in the Commons; and the bills passed the Lords ut that sitting, and royal assent on Thesday. The news of the demonstration on the part, of the government created an extraordinary sensation in Ireland; and at the moment the bill was actually in progress through the Commons, the felon jour- nals of Dublin were vomiting forth the last con- centrated venom of their anger and despair; and various articles appeared in the confederate jour- nals, bearing the initials of the parties now in Newgate, and surpassing in violence anything which has hitherto appeared in either the Felon, Tribune, or Nation. Now, or never, is the watch- word of the rebels ; and little doubt ean be enter- tained that the contlict, will be what they have so long and so ardently wished—short and decisive. We think, however, that the 40,000 well trained brave fellows, the Queen’s soldiers, who are to be captured and killed, will give a good ac- count of themselves, and will not so readi ly yield. to these empty brawlers, as we really believe they will turn out tobe. After all, it is generally cre- dited that warrants have been issued against Smith O’Brien, whose chance of becomin king of Munster 3s marvelously diminished. He has left Dublin, and was occupied by the last ac- counts, in the town of Enniscorthy, on Saturday, in organizing the club movement. is It is said that Wextord is peaceably inclined, but the counties of Tipperary, Kilkenny, Cork ‘and Limerick are all ripe for‘an outbreak. ‘The alarm seems hourly to increase, and no one entertains a hope that the excitement can away without some trifling effusion of blood, A camp has been formed in Pheomx Park, Dub- lin. Several additional regiments with an eflective force of artlllery, have been poured into Ireland; and our own town, where so many Irish are located, not having escaped the disafection, has received a large accession of. troops, ready to put down a spirit of rebellion, which was beginning to manifest itself. The ample civil and military measures adopted, must, however, sup- press any mad attempt to disturb the peace of our town. The Lord Lieutenant has issued a further proclamation, placing the city and county of Kil enny, and the remaining portion of the counties, Cork'and Watertord, under the provisions of the crime repression act. . Large quantities of arms are said to have been removed from Dublin Hyland, the extensive pike. maker, has quenched his fires, and removed the scene of his labors elsewhere.
