Io the main, notwithstanding these drawbacks, it was worthy of its honored object, and worthy of the motro- polis, and our distingwished visiter cannot but carry ‘away with bim the most pleasing reminiscences of bis ftoy in New York, The topography of the Academy, tn its almost llim!- table details, has already been fully deserived; but there tea general picture, brilliant and beautiful in ita various aspects, which yet bangs upon the wails of memory, and requires to be seen before a complete idea can be bad of thie most magnificent epoch in the fashionable record of the metropoiis, To convey this idea concisely le the ob- Ject of the present review, Firat, then, tet the :caior imagine himself one of the” favored three thousand.

It seems as if you were standing on the threshold of an immense conservatery of Gowers, where ir gathor- ed a world of tintand scent that has been brought from the gardens and bothouses of the vielnity. They abound everywhere. Not a jutting cornice, a pillar or a peudaat lamp but had wreathed around it these offerings of fair Flora. Immense vases of china, mighty with pyramidal bou- quets, loom up in air; feetoons arc suspended from the galleries, a semi-circle of cool, green foliage of growing planta, contrasting brilliantly with large crystal globes, filled with gold and silver fish, extends around the outer row of seats, while myrisds of pots and vases, flied with floral clusters, occupy every spot where their preseaco can add beauty or fragrance to the scene. ‘The prosceatum is effulgent under a now coat of gild- ing, the private boxes have been readorned with new curtains of amber satin, trimmed with lace, and, aside from their artificial decorations, contain boquete of female loveliness, in which bright eyes, Dashing diamonds and elegant attiree, predominate abore all cise. A noticeable feature, attracting the upward giance of the spectator, is an allegorical representation, peodant from the ceiling about the middle of the room, of the entente cordiale between Great Britain and the United Statee—the handiwork of Mr. H. W. Calyo, the artist of the Academy. On tbe left of the picture America, an Indian equaw, i¢ shaking baads with Britannis, on the opposite side. Immediately below this friendly grasp are the arma of New York, surmounted by a figure of Peace, while the colors of both countries, blended in amicable Felationship, and the crest of his Royal Highness, recall o mind the part he is st present acting. Al the extreme end of the ballroom, opposite the en. trance, behind « red velvet dais or raised platform of three feet, a superbly painted arch overlooks a garden, in which is represcuted & long vista of trees rich with fo- lage, and forming a fitting terminatioa to the picture as ecen from our standpoin}. Over the stage a splendid marquee has been arranged, covering the operatic machinery that would otherwise be visible, and in the centre of this bas likewise beoo painted an elegant design. Around the room on either side of the stage, aod on ‘he dais, are crimson cok red sofas, jounges and seats, al ready occupied by the creme de la creme, while the two ‘upper tiers of boxes absorb « few hundred more, whose Presence from the throng below is hardly missed. A brilliant and beautiful featare of the evening is the ight shed from myriads of gas jets that rise circle apon cirole to a distance that appears almost immeasurable. Brightness \s the grard jocident of the festival, and not a Dook or corner in the broad area of the bal! but is illumi pated by the penetrating rays. Gradually the Academy bas gained the only additional attraction It required—that of the magnificent men and women who are moving en masse from point to polat ‘We, as common people, have entered on Irving piace; but the invited guests have come in by the side door on Fourteenth street, and we catch glimpece of fay uniforms, pendant orders, dancing plumes, fiasbing diamonds, clouds of lace, and elegant women, as they drop | from the side doors into the great sea. There towers the | majestic form of Ltont, Gen. Scott, supported on either side _ by bis eccomplished daughters, Mrs, Soott and Mrs. Gould Host, to whom the crowd yield the way with a respect- ful admiration that met to be concealed. There, too, moves, modest and unassuming, the handsome Sgure of Millard Fillmore, ex-Presi¢ent of the United States, ac- companied by bis estimable Indy; Professor Moree, of telegraphic fame, with coat decorated with badges of honor, mares only & little behind, while celebrities, male | and fe » Of greater or lean pote, come within range of every glance. All the profeesione, save the cler!. al, have their representatives, There are judges, law. Jers, profersors, men of war and men of peace; men in uniform and out. Some wearieg imaginary titles, ant donors of their own choosing, and others decorations whose names bave been eecured by nothing but their own stern deeds or mental excellence. The wealth of | the metropolia ie aleo largely represented. Gidiog Among tbe crowd may be chught occasional glimprea of the principal Moancial greybeards of the city—thore who have contributed to the ball, and take it for granted that they are to monopolize the biggest share of the spre. There too are ladies of every type of elegance, mind and beauty—fasbiopable divinities—females of the Flora Temple order, walking dismond admiration pointe young girls in all the glory of half sculptured woman. hood—authoreeses, female diplomats, middle aged and supermamerary dowagers, und a few gelatinoas Looking | Old ladies, such a» take ap a whole cartings or = #0'a to Ubemeelver, api personify good appetites and good health generally. ‘Of their dresses it ie almost impossib'e to give a gon. eral idea, bat they are distinguished by a splendor that can only be rivalled by the glories of fairy land. The firet effect upon the serses is indeed so darzling as to render it impossible to separate any distipot or indirid- wal effete, Flowers reposing in follia of fleecy ince, Ince rising and falling in rich foam like waves, jewels paling defore the fire of bright eyes, or flashing back radiatly from velvot beck grounds, gold and silver elit toring im the transparent tarlatane fabrics fo thickly om | broidered with the same precions snbstance that they locking kindly on the wtiffand stately moire; Lowers, rib- bons, jewels, fans, feathers and the odorof « thousand | partorres, all mingling with the lighta, the music and the graceful moving throng. Never was more taste or costliness expended upon toi- Jettes than those of the present ogcasion, At sbout ten o'clock the cheering outside announced the arrival of the Priace, and almost instantly, dressed in full evening costume and accompanied by bis suite, he entered the building by @ side door, and proceeding | along the crimson passageway behind the stage reached bis dressing room. The crowd surged towards the dais {o obtain a glimpse of his Royal Highness, and ina mo- ment a tlatier of excitement runs through the house, that speaks the deep curiosity which seemed to be uppermost ia every heart. ‘The Prince and suite finally emerge from their apart- ment, and condneted by the Committee on Re- ception, who have informally received the royal party, he is soon st the head of the room, wnd{the band strike up “God Save the Queeu.” The jam in that violnity becomes tremendous. Dignifed old ghades stand on tip toes, stretch their nooks, and Mount every elevation that will command « view. Parties press forward for presentation, A few succeeds ‘but while the pleasing process is going on ‘‘crash!” goes ‘the floor, and in a moment a broad opening yawned widely upon the frightened beholders, An upright, placed cariessly apon the boards beneath, has been driven through the lower or stege floor, and the whole fabric, to the extent of twonty or thirty feet, has given ‘way. Somethiog must be done, however, and very quick. Policomen are called in, carpenters set to work, ‘and the melodious ring of hammer and axe mingles with the insinueting wave of music that reassures the crowd. Meanwhile Mr. Poter Cooper, who has taken {t upou himself to aot es master of ceremonies, or some- body cise, aunouaces that the supper rooms are thrown open, and requests all whocan do g0 to yacaio that pert of the room, We follow sult and spend a short time in this agreeable department with the Prince, and @ display greets our eight seldomeen in the demo- cratic city of New York, or even in monarchcial and aris. tocratic Europe. There are vases of Sevres porcelain, the decorations of whioh are sufficient t induce the casual visiter to inquire, ‘From whence all this wealth?’ There is the cut gines of Venice und Bolomia, the gold anc ail- vor plate of both continents, aad, in fact,a dizplay of gorgeous yeesels for the festive board which far cxoced the luxury of a Sardanapalus, and which would have well become the palace of the great lady whose eldest son ig thd honored guest of the evening. Here, too, are rich viands, exuberant fruits, thouaanda of forms of the confeotioner’s art, the geaerous wines of France, Spain, Portugal, Germany aud Madeira, all gathered in lavieh profusion. The array of choice food, fruit, wines and other delicacies exceeds anytbing of the kind ever attempted in this country, and Delmonico, who has charge of the department, may rest well con- tent with the success of the eveniog. The manaer of eerving the supper, also, through a line of active wait- ers, not a foot apart, rendered the pleasant taek of re- fresh ment additionally agreeable. Half an hour at supper and the Prince and party re. ‘urns to the ballroom. Fully two hours elapse, bow- ever, before the repairs are complete, and thea the Prince, belng introduced, leads upon the floor Mrs. Gov, Morgan as bis partner for the first cance. The arrange- ment of the quadrille is ag foliows:— ‘Toe Prince and Mra. Gov. Morgan. Mr. J. W. Gorard and Mrs. Howjand. Mr. W. Langdon and Mrs, J. J, Astor, Jr Mr. Schermerhorn and Mrs. Belmont. Mrs. Morgan’ cress was of white reps silk, nearly oo- vered by biack Chantilly lace Gounces. Headdreag, white featber and diamonds. Ornaments, pearl and dismonda, Mra. J. J.

Strong's dress is pink silk, trimmed with biack Chantilly lace flounces; headdress, pink wreath, Vis a-visto the Prince is Miss Rose, of New Orleans, dreesed in white and blae. Owing to the intense crowd around the royal qustrilie party it is impossible to @ce and describe the dreases of his fair partners, and we, therefore, only give their ames, a8 follows:— Miss Fish, of New York. Miss Helew Russel, of New York. Mire Augusta Jay. ‘Mra. Belmont. ‘Mrs. Edward Cooper. Mrs. Kernochan. Mrs. M. B. Field. ‘Mirs Van Bare. Mies Butler, ° The dress of Miss Helen Russet was of white lamé mus- lim, with @ crown of flowers. Misa Field, daughter of D. D. Field, Beq., wore a dress of white tulle, trimmed with blee flowers; headdress and wreath to match. Her vid @-bts was Miss Elliott, whose drees was of blue sit. ‘Miss Belden danced in the same quadrilie. Her dress was of white tulle, trimmed with rose de chene ruches, wreath of deep colored roses and gold stones around her head. Miss Berriman was the fourth lady, in white tulle, trimmed with green leaves and crimson berries ‘Miss Auguste Jay was the partuer of the Prince for the sixth dance, a polka. ‘The arrangements for dancing are of th» most miserable dercription, and each was the impoliie curiosity of the crowd that at one portion of the evening a rope had to be extended around the Prince's quadrilie to prevent intra sion and siford room. Aferwarda this was dispensed with, but not until a majority of the people bad left the boure. Little credit fe due to these who permitted such a state of affaire to exist, and left it to the royal visiter himself to maintain all the dignity observed. During the evening much speculation existed as to the Dumber of people in tye house, and suspicions were Goally #0 etrovgly expreesed that the committee desided fo Count (be tickets, when the fact was revealed that 2,026 were taken at the door, including those of invited vette, but exclusive of police, musicians and attendants | Thirty-one hundred and ninety-five tickets wore issued | altogether, #0 that 170 tickets less were delivered than isgved—a fact that may be accounted for by the abseace of invited gueets and other causes. Every ticket passed under the supervision of four persons before it was do | tiver6d up, and not a single spurious ticket was found, or a single person in the houte, male or female, who ob. tained & ticket, to the koowledge of the committes, in any other way than the preseribed channe's In this conpection credit is to Mr. Theodore Mow, for the excellent arrangements which marke’ the en- trance of the company, The public greatly m'scoaceire ‘the size of the house, and the fact that over seventeen bundred seats were tcreened off will account for the ex. traordenary preesure that reeul!od. A gratifying feature of the occasion ie, that bolh the fete and Deimonico’s super will Probably cost lees than the original esti nate. Altogether, with the exceptions Mmertioned—nameiy, the breaking of the oor, the inefficiency of the managers in providing space, and {t may also be added, the mo” nopely of the Prince by a set of old fogies during the eve. birg—the ball may be set down as a most picasurabdle af. fair, and im point of magnificent diaplay, of eleganoe wealth and beaoty, aa the most magnificent ovation o the kind ever teedered iv the metropolis. THE NUMBER AT THE ACADEMY. TO THE RDITOR OF THE HtRRALD. Tt bas been stated, In one or more of the ne esapers, that the members of the Committee on Poliee and Car- riages, at tbe ball on Friday evening last, believed that a large number of pertons not entitled to cards of thvitation bad gained admiseion, and that they therefore ordered » count of the tickets received at the doors; als>, that charges bad been made of collusion on the part of the committee's doorkeepers and the potlee—two of the former awd one of the latter—botog etationed a\ each door. Sack ¢pinions or charges were not entertained or expreesed by the committee; but from the relia vie chart. ter of the persona employed to receive the tickets of admirsion they most positively dissented from the opinispe expressed that the number present exceeded the legitimate freue of cards of invitation, and they ordered the count only #88 precaution to prevent the surmises 1d meet the openly avowed charges of irrogularity or collusion on the part of any persons connected with the istue or collection of ticket, At two o'clock, by the re. quest of Edward Prime, Req, and myself, members of Ht He rT H i i it j i & tee, only 3,025 wore received at the door, and persons had not availed themselves of the invit sented.
