THE NEW YORK HERALD. eM NO. 5553. ‘THE GRAND FANCY DRESS BALL at SARATOGA SPRINGS. Fashionable Life in America. ‘TREMENDOUS DISPLAY 0? FINEBY AND POLLY. et aes awtenat: &e &. &e. ‘This grand ball, to which the fashionable visiters of ‘the watering places looked furward with great inter- est, and which many of them will look back upon with ‘Aolight, came off at the United States Hotel, Saratoga, ‘om Friday night last. The number of visiters at the ‘pprings increased vory rapidly for a few days previous tothe 17th, so that when that day arrived, the streets of the village were literally throoged with people; but up te this time, there was uo indication that the ‘pall would bea good one—indted the prevailing opinion seemed to be that there would be but a emall company ‘Present on the grand occasion. The tickets wero sold at $10, and it was supposed by some that this would have « tendency to prevent a large sale. De- jonge, the costumer, was at bis post, with a fine lot of ich dresses, but, up to the night of the 16th, he had Jet but very few. Dibbiee and Barker, the fashion- ablej hairdressers from tbis city, who are always at hand on these cccasions, had received compara. tively but few orders; and Signora La Fata, the enly costumer who bad Jadies’ dresses to let, had @isposed of but an in-ignificant number. Thug matters stood, up to the afternoon of Friday, when the rush of preparation commenced, and by its impe- tuosity overwhelmed everything else in the nel ghbor- hood of the principal hstels. The shop keepers were gun down with customers ; the milliners and mantus makers were in full and protitable employment, and everything was so entirely changed in appearance, that we began now to believe that the ball would be triumphantly sustained At dinner time the directors bad already disposed of 200 tickets—enough to war- want the success of the enterprise. The true cause of the previous apparent apathy was, that the fashion- ables had, for the most part, procured dresses before @oming to Saratogs, and were not, therefore, to be found et the costumers’ rooms,or in other places which Rave been their reverts in former years. Tho preparations ma-'e by the Messrs. Marvin, pro- ‘prietors of the hotel, were unexceptionable, The beau- tiful grounds of the United States were decorated with great taste. The trees were hung with lamps of va- rious colors, about 3000 of which were used for the pur- pose of adding beauty to the scene, already beautiful. ‘Tho trees were ehanged imto columns of sparkling Prightness. From the centre of the little mound front- ang the main piasza, rese a pyramid of these red, blue, yellow, green and other colored lamps, while fancy leoes, ingeniously wrought from colored paper, floated im the air in the shape of balloons, flags, streamers and ornaments of all descriptions, At sbout eight @’clock, a beautiful display of fire-works was made from the contre of the lawn. As to the buildiugs of the hotel, they presented a magnificent appearance. ‘The new ball-reom. whieh is probably unsurpassed im the Union, was lighted by two immense and superb Ghandeliers, whose light was aided by that reflected rom numerous mde lamps of great brilliancy. There ‘te no light more effective for a ball of this kind than ‘this one. The belt of minor luminaries is of necessity go disposed that a ray from some one of them will not fall to strike s gem, or gewgaw, 00 as to give it due ef- fect. The drawing-room was brilliantly lighted, and the dining-rooms were regularly illuminated with wax — eandles.

The course policy followed by the letter in the receot revolu- tionary movements, was one extremely hizardous; the intervention it had undertakeu in the German States tor the suppression of revolution in the then existing state of things, against the remonstrances. of the whole German nation, and in direct opposi- tion even te the will and opinion of the great ma- jonty of the Prussian people, was connected with the greatest risk and danger. One victory gaine over the slan troops in Western Germany, all the enemies of Prussia would have turnt against it. The position of the Prussian cabinet would have become untenable, and its influ- ence in Germany lost. The complete success of the Prussian intervention, however, has turned matters very differently. With the surrender of Rastadt, the conquest of Baden is completed, and revolution in Germany crushed. The fears of a recurrence of political disturbances in the Prussian capital are dispelled, and the state of siege in the latter 18 raised. This is the natural course of things. But the Prussian cabinet has of late gained another triumph, which has likewise in- spired it with a greater degree of confidence. Th result of the elections for the second Chamber been adecidedly favorable one for the govern- ment. The deputies who were returned, nearly all incline towards the ultra conservative par- ty. It cannot be doubted that the government will receive the strongest support from the Cham- ber, which is to meet again on the 7th of next month; and what, under other circumstances, would have been an impossibility, which the Bran- denburg ministry itself would have never venture to dream of—that it should actually command a re- spectable majority in the chamber—will this ume be the case, in consequence of the passtvity ob- served by the radical party at the recent elections. The democrats, in counting upon the delicate feee ings of the government, which they would wound by abstaining from the poll, have evidently made a mistake. ‘th ‘Their passive resistance has, on the forded the Brandenburg ministry inf- M ction ; it will enable it, for the first time, to govern in a constitational manner, whilst every protest they will enter against the acts of the overnment will be unconstitutional. Within the last few days, a modification in the cabinet has tak lace, by the appointment of Mr. Von Schlei Formerly representative of he Prussian govern- ment at Hanover, for foreign affairs, in the place of Mr. Von Bulow, who ha peemouey coaduct that department. Mr. Von Schleinitz, who hi been commissioned by the Prussian government ag its agent in the negotiations with Deamark, just brought to a conclusion here, has been rewarded for his assistance in bringing about a settlement, with this post. His entrance into the cabinet, at the present moment, in as indicating a change of policy on the part of the goverament, with regard te the union question now at issue be- tween Prussia and the other States of Germany. The new minister of foreign affairs is known to | in favor ef certain alterations of the constitution promulgated by Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover, and it is believed that the government, of late, haa become more inclined towards making concessiona to the States who are willing to join the Prussian league. The reluctance shown by the smaller States to declare their adhesion to the aew consti- tution, and the machinations of Austria and Bava- ria, may have tended to convince the jan ea- binet that, to obtain the supremacy in Germany, it must needs treat with the States as to the terms of cy rement. am informed on good authority, that of late am overture has been made on the part of Austria to the government here, for the purpose of eoming te some accommodation with respeet to the futare position of the two powers in Germany, and that the former has declared itself willing to recognise Prussia as the head of a separate league or deration in Germany, if it will, on the other le recognise Austria in the position the latter held um’ cogn stria posi bd the old German confederation. The si Austria, since it is becoming more and more im probable that it can succeed, even with the asmist- ance of Russia, in ee ad will bea most crit.cal one, if its relations to Germany are not be settled soon To the mediation of Germaay it will at last have to look jn its quarrel with Hun- gy, nd for its deliverance out of the grasp of rvssi According to the lntest accounts from Hungary, General Dembinski had taken up a pomtion with 50,000 men near Szolnok, on the Theiss, m the withdrawn again to Szegedin, o@ Gen.
