Their most favor- ite amusement is balls. We believe there is no people in the world who are so fond of this spe- cies of amusement, as the middling aad respectable classes of New York. They make it, in fact, a feature—a characteristic—of our metropolitan soci- ety; and the amount of money which they spend in this way, in the course of a single season, would, if it could be reduced to figures, astonish the public. The honest and industrious mechanic, who toils from sunrise to sunset, aad earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, will not think of allowing a week to pass over without taking his sweetheart to one or more of these bulls, and in- dulging im the mazy windings of the polka or co- tillen, ‘* till daylight does appear.” The prospect of the enjoyment before him, while it cheers his heart, hghtens his labor, and forms the principay subject of his thoughts, if not of his dreams. The passion for these amusements is equally as strong with the females. Poor, indeed, must be the con- dition of the young womam who has nota beaw to tuke her once or twice a week to a ballat Tam- many Hall, or the Chinese Rooms; and deplorable would she think it, if she could not aflord to spend alittle money, to enable her to make a befitting appearance on the occasion, A ball dress isan essential part of her wardrobe. That mast be | paid for—so must her snowy white gloves, her | jewelry end trinkets, to say nothing of the rouge, | with the man; he, too, must be prepared and | properly rigged for such reunions. We have ne means within our reach of meking an accurate estimate of the amount of money which is anou- ally expended by the middting and respectable classes of New York society in this manner. It must, however, be very large, when we take into consideration the number of balls which are given every year, and the rich and costly appearance ot those who attend them. Then the refreshments, too, must be paid for, and the music, too; for it is generally understood that “ those who dance must pay the piper,” and the rule is invariably followed at these balls, We might take another view of this subject. We might estimate the numerous branches of industry which are supported and encouraged by these balls. We might give an estimate of the number of per- sons employed in making kid gloves, in manufac- turing cosmetics and pomatums, in making dancing pumps, jewelry, and the other et ceteras which go to | complete the toggery for a New York ball; but in- asmuch as we would be without accurate data in each case, we will not attempt it. It may be safe, however, to say, that at least half a million of dol- lars are annually spent in the city of New York in this way aione. The ball season is about commencing, and, with | it, the period for match-making. These reunions are prolific of marriages. The male attendants | ; show off their best manners, as well ag their best clothes, and the females display their beauty to the j greatest advantage. The consequence is, that a | prodigous number of marriages result from these | social gatherings.

Anything relating to the supply and consumption of cotton is at thismoment of interest and importance. The recent advices from Europr, showing an advance in prices and an unusual activity in the Liverpoel mar- ket, have created considerable excitement in thiseoun- try, and produced much epeculation in the public mind, as to the probable course of the trade. ‘The two great questions (probable production and consumption) are at this moment far from being definitely settled; and so long as so much doubt exits relative to th tent of each, 80 long will there be a wide margin for fluctuations in prices. The circular of Messrs. Frazer. Son, & Co, of Manchester, dated the 224 of Augast’ 1849, contains some rewarke in reiation to this subject, which correspond so closely with our own ideas, that we give them a place. “ A spirit of epeculation has exteted in cotton, mora, or lees actively, throughout the year; and »pinions are entertained and freely expressed, that the from seen its limit, aud that whatever be the course of. our market, higher prices will be established for that staple.

A few individusis may take advantage of the advance in prices produced by such reports, but the great planting interest is injured; and weare, there- fore, oppored to everything tending to produce an artificial inflation of prices. So far as the planting interest is concerned, we would like to see high prices conviction that those who realize at current rates will reap a richer harvest than those who hold om until the season is more advanced, We may be wrong, but, so far as we can judge from the present position of things, there appears nothing to ju:tity a different eonelusion, The report of the Commissioner of Patente for the year 1849, gives some very interesting statistics relative to the operations of the department The whole num- ber of patents iseued duriog the year 1848, ig six hun- dred and eixty, including twenty-three re-issues, three additional improvements, and rorty-six designs.
