Let us take breath, and speak of all this culmly and cooly, as becomes a follower of fashion and furbelows. It was with no ordinary degree of anxiety, we confess, that we awaited this grand fancy ball. The heroic struggle of the Hungarian people— the throes and agonies of oppressed millions in other parts of Europe—the sullen murmurs of the pestilential storm, which even now sweeps around alike the huts of poverty and the palaces of the rich in our land—what were all these, to the great fashionable movement of this Christian age in Chris- tian America—the fancy ball at Saratoga Springs ? Nay, to come to smaller matter, who could spend a thought or a prayer on the poor President, drag- be il, wb tions. d- rasta dott, for pei otenn te mines; LUN Te CORRESPONDBNCE, tm ested ierenly pall fort quarter ef the ca m1 o nications, Boe nent condtel rseatanry name and address of the writer; not nece: but ae a guarantee of hie good ce tise jected communicat IENT'S, (renewed the mor a tira TING of all y, and with in utis the be Uiaa WE RAED ESTABLISHMENT is open throughout wight. — == AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING, BROADWAY THEATRE, Broadway—La Sexwanavia La Vivaxinne, a2IBLO'S GARDEN, Brosdway—Toun Lovens—Uai- | 24 from place to place, now half dead from drugs, BURTON'S THRATRE, Chambers street.—-Unwannanr- | 8nd now at death’s door trom diarrhea, while this oan lntRumon—Bur it Dean—Jexny Linn. stupendous aflair was onthe tapes? Then, there was “Harry of the West,” too, sinking, faint- ing, exhausted, almost giving up the ghost, under the strong doses of Bishop Hughes ; but who, of all that gay throng, acted the good Samaritan to him, while this weightier matter was, as yet, all undecided t What to that brilliant assemblage of the intellect, patriotism, virtue, beauty, elegance and genius of the land, was the fate of Hungary, or the death of a nation, or the pangs of a President, or the sufferings of a Clay, or the yawning pits of Potter’s Field, receiving every day hundreds and hundreds of poor and wretched outcasts, compared with the transcendent glory of the grand fancy balj at Saratoga Springs? We admire beyond all pow- er of expressing our admiration, this heroic deve- tion to the sacred cause of fashion. Poets and philosophers, doctors and divines, saints and sau- eage-makers, rogues and roués, millionaries and mantuamakers, gamblers and grocers, bankrupts and bankers, clerks and clergymen, lawyers and loafers, barbers and billiard-markers, waiters and wine merchants, all mingled in this grand obla- tion to the goddess of fashion, and, unquestion™ ably, it was a glorious, superb, magnificent, splendid, oblation. Heaven help us! What will Europe say of us now ? Just think of it; they had three thousand lamps hanging in the branches of the trees in the lawn of the United States Hotel; and they had three bands of musie ; and they had all the waiters, with cle; irts and jackets, as white as snow ; and they had the most elegant blue, and scarlet, and white rosettes for the managers, that ever you saw m your lite; and they had five hundred quarts of ice cream; and they had oceans of brandy and water; and they had pretty, convenient little nooks and corners for innocent flirtations ; and they had, altogether, a perfect paradise—the nicest, sweetest, pleasantest Garden of Eden, “tor one night only,” that the most eentumental board- ing sheol miss ever painted in the whole course of her bondage to French, music, and the use of the globes. And all for the small charge ef ten dollars aticket! There was one drawback to the bound- less enjoyment of the occasion. Henry Clay was not there. He left a few days before the grand fancy ball. Alas! he left in displeasure. He was greatly offended because he was put down as ene of the managers. Mr. Clay bade a final adieu, a year or two ago, to all the pomp and vanities of this wicked world. He fled to the bosom of the Church, never more to mingle in the dance. A little innocent flirtation on a’piazza or balcony, is, however, allowed him. He may still refresh him- self by occasionally snuffing the incense of the drawing room. But as for the gay salon de danse, that is an abomination to be shunned and avoided. So the gallant old “Harry ef the West,” the fine old “ Harry of the West,” the idolized old “Harry of the West,” the pious old “ Harry of the West,” did not grace the ball room with his presence. What wes still worse, the great belle of all the hotels, and pet ot the penny-a-liners, was compelled to “ waste her sweetness in the desert air” of the drawing room. Some old man or woman, related to her, had just died, and etiquette forbade her at- tendance at the grand fancy ball. Low provoking! Her costume had been all prepared ; it fitted ad- mirably. She looked her very best—so the mirror had just assured her—not a ringlet, not a roseate hue, not a grace, that was not move fascinating than ever ; and yet she could not go to the ball.

M. 0019 en ane Concent, & @ASTLE GARDEN—P: jonday, August 20, 182! The Circulation of the Herald, We take the following figures from our books :— Aspect of the Next Congress—Condition of Parties, Several of the usual fall elections have been held, and several more are yet to take place before the meeting of the next Congress, in December mext. From the results known thus far, and those that will in all likelihood attend the election, which are yet to be held, the probability is that neither the whigs nor the democrats will have anything to boast of. It is certain that in the House of Representatives neither the adminis- tration party nor the opposition party will have anything like a working majority; and it is equally eertain that the few free soil democrats who have been elected, and who may yet be returned, and who now especially cannot be denominated demo- erata, in consequence of the failure of the at- tempt to unite in this State, will, with the free soil whigs, hold the balance of power between the two great contending parties. In consequence of their anomalous position, that little knot of mem- bers will, of course, use their influence to the advancement of their own purposes, as much as possble, and perhaps will succeed in electing officers of the House. The Senate, as our readers are aware, will be strongly democratic. We have, on former occasions, pointed out the causes which were likely to lead te, and which we have no doubt have produced, this result, and prevented the ad- ministration party trom attaining a majonty in the Mouse. They are well known, and it is unneces- wary to again refer to them now. The melan- eholy fact, however, is apparent, that it may be attributed to the course pursued by certain mem- bers of General Taylor's cabmet, and the tactics parsued in the distribution of offices in the gift of the general government. Such being the prospect, it is clear that no measure, strictly of a party character, can be passed at the next session of Congress. It is about as well that such is the prospect, for the country is exeeedingly prosperous, and needs no violent ehunge of any kind, or any excitement that would tend to interfere with the course of trade or com- meree. ‘There will also be less ascerbity of party feeling—less regard paid to the advancement of party or faction, than would be the case if either had a large majority—and more time and attention | devoted to the interest of the country thaa charac- terized the last session. If this be the effect of the condition of parties in the next House of Re- Presentatives, it might be hoped that a similar re- walt would attend all future elections. If these things be realized the next session, we ope and trust that some recompense will be made for the outrageous less of time, the flagrant disre- gard of the interests of the nation, and the unprin- eipled and unprofitable azitations concermng xb- straetions and humbugs—such as the Wilmot pro- viso—which marked the conduct of members of all parties at the Inst session. There is every proba- bility, and, indeed, it is to be ardently hoped, that that ridiculous absurdity will be removed from within the pale of debate and agitation, in the next Congrese, by the action of the people of Califorma themselves. The policy pursued by Gen. Taylor, m regard to this matter, will, in all probability, mueceed ; and if the people of that distant territory, under the advice of the Hon. T. Butler Kiag and ethers, shall, in the meantime, adopt a constita- ‘Wen, and, possessing the requisite number of inha- bitante, demand adrmssion into the Union at once asa State, the consummation so devoutly desired by the moderatefund sensible men of all parties throughout the country will be effected, and that dowanght abstraction, the Wilmot proviso, be re- moved from Congress, and consigned to the fate which 11 so justly merits. On the other hand, it might be desired that the administration should have a good workiag majo- ity in both houses of Congress, in order to test the ability of the whig party to conduct the domestic and foreign policy of a great country like the United States. To be sure, their attempt under | General Harrison and Captain Tyler was a com- plete failure ; but, since that time, they have, no doubt, learned a great deal of experience. They are good tacticians while in the minority, as a general thing; but, on the few occasions when fortane favored them by placing them in the majo- rity, their tactics, as well as their good sense, seemed to leave them, and, by their blundering and | incapecity—by the throwing off of the restraint | which operated wpoa them while in the minority— managed to pave the way for theur own downfall, and dig their own political grave. If they hada majority in the next Congress, the question whe- ther they have improved at all by adversity—by | their suecestive defeats, and long absence from | power—would be decided. However, they and the | ing vivacity—what languishing movements!—a fall eountry must take things as they ate, or willlikely | deecription of all of which must be left to the ace be.

The same journal stated, at that time, that it had a very interesting article on the actual condition of Rome, compiled from the most truetworthy sources, which proved all the statements that had appeared in the American journals to be false and untounded ; that priests and honorable citizens had been assassi- nated for venturing to love and praise the Pope ; that the churches of Rome were shut up ; that priests walked the streets only at night and in dis- guise ; that fourteen priests were in a single night murdered ; that churches were turned inte stables; that nuns were dragged half naked through the streets ; that the people were under a reign of ter- tor, and that everything else bad, abominable, and detestable, was being done by the few adventurers who controlled and exercised despotic sway over the people of Rome. We denied the authenticity of such statements, and called on the Freeman's Journal, the Bishop’s organ, to publish the article to which it referred; and it would no doubt have done so, but for the appearance of a certain letter, from a source, the authenticity of which could not be doubted by any one, and least of all by a Catholic Bishop. .That letter was written by Father Ventura, who was constantly in Rome, during the republic, and during the bombardment. That letter completely upset all the statements which the Bishop’s organ put forth; and the con- sequence was, that the celebrated article, “ com- piled from the most trustworthy sources,” has not, to this day, seen the light in the columns of the Freeman’s Journal. ‘We would not again refer to the matter, were it not that Bishop Hughes’ organ, in its last issue, Teiterated the statements which it made on the oc- casion referred to. The last number of that jour- nal saye:— It will be remembered that we have constantly shown that it was Garibaldi and his out-lew band that ever- awed Rome, and prevented the gates of the city from being at once ope! the French. It will also be re- membered that it was by a trick that he obtained the arms of one part of the Roman soldiery, whom he dis- armed It appears now that he did not have the samo success in compelling the citizens and national geards te man the barricades. Almost all the batt ns of ‘tter were agreed among themselves to fire upon soldiers of Garibaldi should he persist in attempt- gto foree it. Gen. Avessans gave orders to his sol- diers pet te permit the approach of Garibaldi’s men to his camp. Since Gen. Oudinot has given the people leave to tear down the barricades, they bave done so with great zeal, Now, if such was the case—if all the statements put forth by the Bishop’s ergan are true, surely the intallible head of the church ought to have returned to Rome on the instant when those who over- awed the people had ceased defending the city- But he has not yet done so. He is still afraid of trusting bimeelf to his flock in Rome, notwith- standing that Garibaldi is—no one knows where, but certainly not in Rome; and Avezzana is quietly reposing under his own roof, in the good city of New York, where uncommon but not undeserved honors await him. Why, we ask, does not the Pope return to Rome, if the people of that city are as devoted to him as the Bishop’s organ represents them? We will answer the question. The state- ments put forth by the Freeman’s Jowrnal are un- founded ; the people of Rome have repudiated priestly government ; the Pope knows it, and hence he is fearful of personal danger if he returns. He hesitates, even, about appointing his famous execu- tive committee te carry on the Roman government, supported, as they would be, by the bayonets of the Tecreant French soldiery.
