M. ‘Tho general rule that aman who stays on shore is a great deal more clever than a man who gocs to sea, may De applied almost invariably to the participants in public Dalls, of whatever nature and in whatever locality. “Per- haps your correspondent, writing at this hour, when the lights are fled, the banquet, &¢., and the guests—you know tho rest—would be, under ordinary circumstances ‘the first to give in his adhesion to such a rule. But the Napier ball was not an ordinary circumstance. In the first place, the propriety of the compliment was acknowledged, not only in a general way by the country at large, in view of the able way in which Lord Napier had discharged his duties as the re- presentative of the British government in the United States, but particularly by those who had had the pleasure of his lordsbip’s ‘acquaintance, and had enjoyed his free and generous hospitalities. His predecossor, Mr. Crampton, was a rather rusty bachelor, who entertained hardly any one except a few boon com- panions, and who succeeded admirably in making himself almost universally unpopular. The manner of his exit from the country contrasted with the flowers thrown be- fore Lord and Lady Napier, affords the best indication of the difference between the two diplomats. ‘Thef{ ball to Lord and Lady Napier, now just expi- red, with other things of the past, must be recorded aa ‘one of the moet brilliant and successful fetes ever given in ‘America. Tendered by a few prominent members of Congress and private citizens of Washington, it at ouce enlarged itself to the proportions of a national demonstra- tion, and became a prominent public topic throughout the country. It was placed exactly at tho height of the sea- gon, when Washington is full of fashionable people, and when the dining out, visiting and dancing and flirting portion of the community is at the top wave of its exist ence. The extra excitement of this ball summoned nume- s A. Delafield, Major Ragset?, Mre. 8. W. Paris,” Major General Jesup, { a jus Schell, J. W. Cammerou, . Wilson, J, 0, Stn) 3 Willkio, Bi ohn G.

The Senators from South Carolina and Massachusetts, the Representatives from Texas and Maine—from the North and the South, the East and the West—joined heartily in their adieur to the popular diplo- matand his accomplished wife. And now we are supposed to be at Willards. Alighting in torrents of rain, terrible to crinoline, and not alto- gether the thing for patent leathers, we pick our way to- warda the Fourteenth street entrance of Willards, for the ‘fite is to take place in the new wing. This hotel bas been before !kened unto the British constitution—both having received so many additions, alterationsfand amendments that but few traces of the originals remain, Our ball- room is'n one of these additions—the grand dining room, which is tbree hundred feet long, and about sixcen feet high and twenty-five wide—not exactly the ehape for a ball, as you see, However, let us get on as well as we can, remembering that we are im Waash- ington, not’New York. he cloak and <drevsing rooms are on the second floor, wher the pas gages are musical with rustling crinoline flitting here and there, to the great wonder of gaping serwants. There eas been some talk about reducing the circumference of ‘the ladies’ dresses. That news has evidently mot pene- ‘trated as far as the national capital. rous butterflies of fashion from the other cities, and the ‘Washington hotels were quite overrun with guests. ‘The number of subscribers, originally limited to three hundred, ‘was at once deubled—eo that an opportunity ‘was offered for every one who desired to participate. ‘The price of the tickets was fixed at ten dollars each. ‘These billets admitted a gentleman and the ladies of ‘ais family only, and it was required that each lady should be supplied with a ticket bearing her name. The nember of tickets so issued amounted to nearly twelve hupdred> ‘and necessitated a jam. The sale of tickets was obliged to be suspénded #t noon yesterday, and the office of the Secretary-ef the Committee, Mr. Ken- nedy, was besieged by applicents long after thet hour. In the fashionable circles of Washington there was nothing talked of but the bell—the ball—the -ball! Other topics were for the moment laid aside. Nobody thought of the troubles of Mr. Phelps in the House; everybody ‘was thinking about waye and means for the “ball. Thurs- day was the reception day at the houses of the Ca- Dinct “Ministers, and there one heard of nothing but the ball. Milliners, dressmakers, coiffeurs went srazy abeut the ball. The people at Willara’s Hotel, ‘where'the affair was to come off, assumod a dignified British aspect, wonderful to behold. The roar of the Lion ‘of Albion was heard in every shout of tho waiters. The ‘lue and red ensigns of Great Britain, and the flag of the ‘United States floated in grand style from the flag staffs of ‘the hotel. It was high holiday for the belles and the ‘beaux, the hairdressers and the millimers, the tailors and ‘the cooks, the tavern keepers and the hackmen. It was a time of sorrow to slow husbands, and heavy fathers, and over-taxed servants. And Jenkins, too, was in tribulation. Jenkins must pay for his ticket. Horrible thought! Everybody paid, but Jenkins he was nobody, and why he should be required ‘to disburse passed his comprehension. But he resolved mpon revenge. No” doubt the outraged Washington edi- tors, who for once have been presented the stern alterna- tive of either paying for a thing or going without it, will have full and due retaliation. Bat the eventful hour came, as all eventful hours will ‘come, if-we will only wait long enough. As¢he Hrnatp has already printed the correspondence between the committee and Lord Napier, as well asa list of thednvited guests and other preliminary proceedings, ‘this account may be appropriately opened with a list of ‘the chief subscribers to the ball:— SENATORS.

Some Zoung, men are leas "active than the veteran Premier. rd Napier is rather a handsome man, and has that well bred air which marke the finished man of the world. He is the Leau ideal ot a society man. Mrs. Conrad is the Louisianian widow who has made such a sensation in Washington this winter. Not strikingly beautiful, she is still handsome, and has that fascination which is the more dangerous from the impossibility of defining in what its rlicular attractions consist. Certain it is, that the lady 8 excited the bile of the crinoline world here to a tre mendous extent. Near this set I shall show you Mrs, Roosevelt, the dig- nity and refinement of whose manners give her 4 nataral ‘ent of nobility. - She is talking with Lady ‘Napier, who the sweetest smile in the world, and the Countess de Sartiges, one of the American belles who have anuoxed themselves to foreign Powers.

Thus has been given a slight and imperfect sketch of a most brilliant féle in honor of a kindly, pga sland cor teous noblemad. It is Impossibie, however, to puurecupi such a scene, to reproduce or déecribe the lively ey purer. sation, the sparkling bon mot, the silver laugh of the Indies, the gayety and polish of the well bred man of tho world, the corru: of beauty, or the thousand and one witcheries of an affair which had all the pleasant sur roundings of a large private party. Probably such a col- lection of refined, cultivated, well bred and well dressed men and women bas never ‘before come together in any public ball in this country. It was a festival of which we ‘ag well as Lord Napier ought to be proud. Police Intelligence. A Vicrot oF MisrLacep Conripgyce.—A man known as Jobn Williams was arrested yesterday by officer Yale, of the Fifth precinct, charged with having, on the 8th inst., stolen a wallet containing $257 75 from the prem‘ses of Edward Gilmore, No. 113 Mott street. It is alleged that the accused, the day previousto the theft, saw Gilmore gecrete the money between two beds, and that the follow- ing-day he broke into the house and stole {t. Previous to his arrest he confessed the larceny to Gilmore, stating that fhe had divided the money with one Chas. scott, a mutual ‘acquaintance, and had $60 left, which he would return if Gilmore would not lodge a complaint against him, The prisoner was brought before Justice Connolly and locked up for examination. It is stated that all three of the par- ties had jointly come in possession of the money ina dis. honest manner, and that Williams helped himself to it be- cause Gilmore refused to divide it between them. Tho case is to be investigated. Aviecep Heavy Emperziemest or WATCHES AND JEWEI- ny.—Richard Moore, a journeyman, who for two years past has been in the employ of Mr. Herman F. Timme, watchmaker, at No. 252 Bowery, was arrested on Friday, charged with having, daring tbe past six months, embez- zled watches and jewelry to the amount of about $1,500. It appears that for some time past Mr. Timme has missed goods from his store, but could get no trace of the thief until Thursday, when he learned tuat Moore had offered a watch worth $18 for $9 to an acquaintance. He then had his premises, No. 92 Sixth street, searched, and found about $1,200 worth of watches and jewelry, which Moore admitted he had etolen from the store. $97 in cash and a credit of $58 in a bank Look were also found and admitted to be part of the procee:s of the sale of some of the stolen property. The accused was arrested, and Justice Keily locked him up for further examination. SivcuLaR Way oF SkLuNG Goops—On Friday morning Wm. H. Palmer, regiding at Mamaroneck, Westchester county, called at the clothing store of Simon Fox, No. 65 Bowery, and after looking at several articles, stated that hd would not then purchase. He was then about to leave, when, as he alleges, Robert Ginthall, the clerk. who had walted upon him, ‘seized him by the throat, aad rushing him to the back part of tho store, told him that unless he took the goods he bad been looking at (amount- ing to$23), or paid hit $2 for his ‘rouble, be 4 should not leave. Tho countryman fearing violence, paid the price of the clothing, and then called upon Justice Steers for redress. Ginthall was promptly arrested, and the magis. trade held him to answer a charge of obtaining money by means of threats of violence. A Pickrocker Nicrty Cavonr.—About half:past ton olclock on Thursday night, Mr. Thomas Tuore, an elderly gentiemen, doing Dusiness at No, 68 Fulton street, was Paseing tbrough the Park, when a man, named James Halligan, seized his watch chain and started off with the chain and watch. Quick as thought Mr. Taoro drew @ revolver, and ordered the thief to stop or elee have a ball put. through him. The fellow was so taken aback that he stood still until a policeman came up and arrested him. Justiae Connolly yesterday locked him up for trial, Passive Countkwmnt Monsy.—A man named David Hanford was arrested yesterday by policemen Riordon and Woolridge, of the Sixth precinct, charged with passing counterfeit $5 bills on the National Bank of this city to Nathaniel Davisen, of No. 36 Chatham street, a's0 on Joseph “recat ot No. 214 Wiliam street. The ac- cused, on Tuesday last, passed two of the counterfeits to Mr. Davison, and on’ the ist ingtant another of them. ‘One only of the bilis was Passed to Mr. Besthuude. The accused was taken before Justice Brennan and locked np for trial. Tho counterfeita are but poor imitations of the genuine issue, Aunou Graxp Lancrey.—A man named Richard | Muibr, a clerk in the jewelry establishment of H. F.

The body of deceased was encased ina rosewood coffin and placed ing superb hearse, drawn by neatly capari- soned horses, and escorted by the company of which he was a member. Lapis’ Five Pomts Misswn.—Prof. 0. M. Mitchel, whose lectures on Astronomy created such a furore a few weeks ago, has kindly consented to deliver another lecture to-night, at the Academy of Music, for the benefit of the Ladies’ Five Points Mission. Subject—‘' Astronomi- cal Inquiries in the Book of Job, especially those con- tained in the thirty-eighth chapter.” The nobie object for which the lecture will be given, and the wel! kaown ability of the lecturer, will, no doubt, cause the Academy to be crowded, New . York Sanirary Association.—This association held its regular monthly meeting on Thursday evening. ‘A memorial petitioning the Legislature for the passage of health laws, based upon ruies of well known sanitary science, was considered and adopted.

The democrats have a majority in both branches of that body. They insist on re-apportioning the State in order to throw Senator Trumbull out of his seat, to which the republicans ‘will not submit, and between the two business is blocked. Bucuaway anv DovGias mm Missount.—A few days ago Mr. King, of Ray, introduced into the House of Represen- tatives of Missouri resolutions endorsing the democracy of Senator Douglas. They were rejected with decided emphasis. Shortly afterwards Mr. Churchill, of St. Louis, introduced into the Senate resolutions endorsing the policy and acts of President Buchanan. Tuesday these resolu- tions were passed by twenty-five ayes to six nays. Anotugn PresipentiaL Ticker.—The Carrolton (Ala.) Courier has hoisted the Presidential flag for 1860, with the following names upon it:— FOR PRESIDENT, ALFRED IVERSON, of Georgia. FOR VICR PRESIDRNT WILLIAM LOWNDES YANCEY, of Alabama. The Courier says:— With such men for our leaders, every true friend of State rights would rally around the standard. The con- test, under their lead, would be one of principle. The lust and spoils of office would cease to be an element in the canvass, and the question of the rights of Southern States, ‘as equals in the confederacy, would be presented with a point and clearness which would leave no room for doubt ‘Or migconstruction. The result of the election in 1860, with such a ticket on the one hand and the nomi- nees of the Seward opposition on the other, wouidde- finitively settle the question, either for or against us. We wish to see euch a contest; we are heartily tired of com- yromises and compromise candidates. Give us a pitched attle in 1860, upon a clear, well defined issue, and if we are beaten then, wo will know that our enemies have re- solved to become our masters. POSTAL DIRECTORY.
