Washington Gaiety—Grand Ball at the Capital—Dis. tinguished Quests Present—The Revels of the Night— Beiles of the Ball— The ‘Feast of Roses’ —de., de., &c. The ball of Washington was given last night, and a description of it is just what thousands of the readers of the HERALD would like to have, especially those who jive for the fashion of the world, whose hearts palpitate or ballrooms, and whore souls yearn for no higher bea- ven than a never-ending whirl in the polka or the waltz. ‘The gaiety of Washington reached its culminating point last aight, in the annual ball of Willard’s Hotel. The sun of tashion then rose to its zenith, and for the ‘rest of the season wil be moving to its setting. This ball hus been eagerly looked forward to by all tbe dovotees of pleasure for the last two months, and all expectations of it have been fully realized. Everything was done on an extensive scale, The preparation was extensive, the women were lovely, and the whole ‘‘make up’ was grand. Young and old, grave and) gay, all com. ling for awhile, let’ slip the grasp of care, giving memory up, that her'babbling tongue might not intruce to break the sweet dissipation of the hour. Dar ing thy day tickets were in great demand, aad at the ‘hour for opening the ball, twelve hundred invitations had bean sent out. The number present during the evening waa estimated at fifteen hundred, comprising the pride, the brave and fair of Washington. Representatives from abroad, members of the Cabinet, Seustors, mem- bers ot Congress, Genert merable. In the assemblage especially obse: Ma}. eueral Winfleid Scott, Mr. Crampton, British minister, Secretary Cushing, Senators Douglas, Toucey, Brown, Seward, Houston, and a large repre-eatation from tbe other house of Congress. ‘The large dining halt of Willard’s Hotel, the ball room, was something almost beyon! deseription when filled with tue company, ready forthe dance. ‘This hall, the largest in Wasuing- ton, about one hundred and fifty teet long aud fifty wide, was decorated with all the skill of the artist and the taste of the connoisseur. ‘The floors for the occasion were painted with all the colors ot the rainbow, set off in different figures for the arrangement of the quadrille, and the frescoed ceilings tent bewaty to the scwne, with its groups of angels and its cups of roses. A fine band ot musicians oceupied & iain in the centre of the hall, and sent forth its enli- veuing strains to the most distant ear within the room; six gorgeeus chandeliers ranged through the xall, and from therr hundred jets of gas light sent forth a bril- liancy, flashed back with interest from glittering gems and robes bedecked with gold. At ten o'clock precisely, tie door of the ball room was thrown open, and the promenade commenced. very variety of beauty, every vuriety of dress, mingled ip the march; here siles aud wating with ease encased the belle, and ‘There the tightened stays too straightly laced, tu whalebone bondage, galled the slender waist ‘The chilling wintry winds whistled through the wiadow lattice from without, but all was summer an‘ delight with- in, It was feared by some dumng the dy, that the uopro- pitious weather would lessen the pleasures of the bail, and keep away wany whose presence would increase the beauty ot the sceme, as mew tound stars add beauty to the ccusteliation, There fears the result proved were unpecessary, tor, of the tickets divtributed, there were wnret.scned but five or six.

At haif-past eleven o'clock supper was announced in the ladies’ ordinary, where was spread one of the most sumptuous tables that ever greeted the eye of epicure. Pyramids and ornaments stood in tempting line along the boards, spread with all the delicacies that the appe- tite could ask for. Suspended from the ceiling over the tables were baskets of flowers; bouquets end japonicas were strewn in profusion throughout the room, calling to mind Moore’s ‘feast of roses." Supper lasted from halt-past eleven till nearly two o'clock, guests continually filling the room, eating and ‘drinking and retiring for rest.

These eccentricities were regarded as the natural consequence of the supper potions, thet saint happen to members of the best regulated families, and were forgiven by the ladies with true womanly generosity A little impatience, perhaps, found vent in extravegant use of the fan, which, by the way, is A wondrous engine, that by magic charms, Cools the owner’s breast, and every other warms ; but beyond this there was no manifestation of dis- pleasure. ‘The supper ended, the company for an hour longer kept up the dance, and then ali retired to sleep, and dream upon the events of the evening.

The claims of American citizens upon the governient of Mexico, which were noticed in the President’s late message, amount to six or seven millions, and can be paid in no other way than by a cession of territory, worthless to Mexico, but which, in our hands, would become as valuable as California. ‘The new purchase cannot take the name of Arizonia, as was Proposed, until it embraces its namesake, nor is it to be called Fi dia, as “X” christened it. It has proved to be a valuable acquisition, ow account of its mines of silver and copper. It is becoming settled, on one side from California, andon the other from Texas.

All the vessels that came up from sea were brought up by steamtugs. At Throgg’s Neck the ice is fast across to the Long Island shore, which will account for there being no arri- vals by way of the Sound. The United States revenue barge, in charge of officer Leach, ween about to board the ship Leila, from Rotter- | dam, in the Fast river, was caught in some heavy ice, just under the ship’s bow, and but for the timely sid rendered by thel captain of the steamtug Jacob Ball, who had the ship in tow, a serious accident, no doubt, would have been the result, As it was, the boat was but little injured. Some of the boatmen taking to the | water and others to the rigging of the vessel they were all saved, and are particularly anxious to return to the captain of the Jacob Bell their sincere thanks for his very timely assistance in backing his boat, and for his other attentions to them. City Intelligence. Onsrrcetep AND DANGEROUS SipEWALKS.—The recent snow storm bas bad one bad effect, at least, in the dan. gerous condition it has left our sidewalks in. The ice and snow partially thawed as it is about noon, becomes, later in the afterncon and evening, a cake of hard, flinty, treacherous ice, which is extremely difficult of naviga- tion by pecestrians. Accidents of a most serious nature are constantly occurring; indeed the only wonder is that the bodily injuries done are not more numerous. Last Saturday evening Mr. Theodore Van Houghton fell at the corner of Thirty-second street and Eighth avenue, and broke his leg, besides otherwise injuring himself. A number of cases of this never get into the papers, but from what we have a posi- tive knowledge of. there can be no doubt but that a snow storm in New York is equivalent to twenty broken limbs, besides an indefinite quantity of barked shins and injured elbows. Were the captains to attend to their duties, and seo to it that the city ordinances are enforced in relation tokeeping the sidewalks cleared and unobstructed, nv doubt msay of the casualties that pow occur would be prevented. Captain Carpenter, of the Fifth Ward, made the following return to the Chief yes- tercay. The suggestion it contains is important. He say s— Mithe snow in the principal streets in this ward (the Fifth), is pretty weil cleared off the sidewalks; but I pe a to assy that, notwithstsnding the efforts of my officers yesterday, andthe day before, many places re- main obstructed, as are also tenant houses, and houses where from three to five families live—the several foun- dries that are closed in West street, and some unoccu- pied stores. Where a number of poor families live in the house, I have found it quite impossible toclear off the sidewsik and gutter. We may report to tle Corpora- tion Attorney the oceupants and vwners, but still the nuisance remains, I would resvectfully suggest an ef- fectual remedy. Pass a law authorizing the Street In- spectcr, or Captains of Police, that in all cases where the snow and ice is pot cleaned off the sidewalks or gutters, within a given time after the storm haa ceased, to em- ploy men for the purpose, and charge the owner of pro- perty couble the amount paid.”’ Tux Weatuer iw Tar Puirit —Dr. Chapin preached yesterday morning, before a large audience, on the (to New Yorkers) interesting subject of the weather, The hyperborean horrors we have passed through during the past week were described with great force and beauty of expression. He read an impressive lesson to Christians of their duty to the poor in this the hour of their extre- mity; and characterized, in severe language, the ctilpa- ble carelessness of the rich, in allowing men and women to perish in our midst of cold and exposure, while they were rolling in luxury. The fall of the snow was describ- ed felicitously, and with great m{nuteness, and the moral drawn that God’s providence was as visible in falling snow flake 9s in the whirlwind or the earthquake ‘The address was most interesting, and, we understand, it is to be repeated. Fine iv Sixta Avenur.—About 1 o’clock on Saturday night a fire took place in the hat and cap store No. 569 Sixth avenue, near Thirty-third street, occupied by Derich & Gauter, The fire originated in the basement, and burnt up through the store to the second story, where its progress was stopped by the firemen. The fire would, in all probability, bave been confined to the basement, had it not been for the hydrant in the imme. diate vicinity being frozen, delaying some fifteen or twenty minutes before it could be thawed; and not un- til the wood-work around was completely consumed did the water make its appearance.

[From the Packet, Nov. 18.] ‘The official cocuments recorded in this and the pre- ceding number, present a succipt, but an animated and engiossing history of the memorable episode. ari- sing ont ot the iniquitous invasion. The simplicity and truthiulness of Gen. Horno’s narration, whilst ab en- hhance his personal merit and characteristic ity, intensify our interest 10a conflict on which the fate and respects of this State ¥ ‘he result has out the ministerial assurances and predictions to their fullest intent; and now that we can deliberate! appreciate the fruits and consequences of so splendi and decisive a triumph, we readily admit that the price at which it was purchased is cheap, albeit in b) and pea that dignify this new holocaust to Argentine Li- | erty. ‘This brings um to the all engrossing question of th day. How are we now to arrange with the prime inst gator of the invasion? Atter the opinions distinctly re- corded in our article of the 1éth September, we need not say that the really responsible party is General Urquiza. With our chilling’ experience of tke negotiations at Pa- lermo, San Nicolas and the treaty of the 9th March, 1858, is it possible to confide in his honor and sincerity ? We unhtatatingly answer, no; and efore any pew appeal must te adéresred to his fears and backed by armed force. This is the only attitade that corresponds to Buenos Ayres, from the proud vantage ground achiev- ed by her arms on the Sth inst., in 2 quarrel forced upon her by the perfidy of a relentless enemy. After the claasic events of the 11th September, 1852 of the 1ith July, 185%, and the 8th November, 1854, she in amply entitled to dictate the terms of an accommoda- tion; ard let the nnconditional disappearance of General | Urquiza from the public scene, be the cheap and easy | price of a cordial reunion of ull the members of the con- federation.

Shall we, then, follow up the decisive | advantages gained on the blood stained fields of the Tala, or till he has recovered from his fright, mar. shalled his scattered forces, and can dictate both the time and piace for the encounter? On either hypothesis, the immediate prospects, as re- gards foreign commercial interests, are bleak and repul. rive; for if there be much to fear from war, there is little to be h for from the peace that may be proposed by General Aken and the Congress of the Parana. To a social point of view, we regard the effect4 of the invasion in a different light. It has been an opportane test to our nascent institutions, and has the in- habitants of our rural districts an tunity of ac- crediting their sound sense and patriot loyalty. Dur- ing the few months of a constitutional regime, they have tasted the sweets of a rational liberty, and by their con- duct on thia occasion shown themselves worthy of it.

Believing such views to be in full accordance with those of the American party, I accept the nomination thus tendered me, and will give my aid in sustaining and promoting its principles, wheneve: and wherever | can CO #0.

In relation to the temperance quastion, I am convinced that some more efficient law than we now have for the suppression of the unlicensed sale of spirituous liquors is necessary, and at all times I wou'a most readily co- operate with the friends of such a measure in the pas- ¢ of any law, (constitutional, of course,) that would promote so salutary an object. the pleasure to be, gentlen our friend and servant, OW NOTHING CAUCUS FOR C.
