AN ENTERTAINMENT OF ANOTHER SORT. To-day at an early hour General Waco, the Gov- ernor of the Province, camo on board and invited the officers to a lunch at one o’alock, at the restaurant in the Park, which invitation Mr, Fox accepted with the condi tion that the officers should be perinitted to retire the moment a despatch was received from St. Petersburg. Vice Admiral Nordmann was so kind as to place the steamer Launch at the di of Commander Murray during his day, for the use of the two vessels, and alarge number of the officers availed themselves of it to go ashore and partake of the lunch, We found at tha con- cert room in the Park an elegant entertainment set and a large number of Russian officers and gentlemen, with not a small delogation of charming ladies, many of great beauty, to receive us. The room was tastefully decorated with flags and banners, among which the Russian and American colors were intimately blended, expressive of the friendly ties which bind the two great countries er. ‘On the tables, which displayed a variety and a number of wine glasses—vory suggostive-—was a largoquaatity of beautiful flowers and exotics, which and per- fumed the room, A fine band was present, which dis- courved our own national airs in capital style, inter- spersed with the Russian hymns and airs and selections from operas, delicately and brilliantly rendered.
