10 BALLS LAST NIGHT. Notwithstanding the attractions of the theatres ‘and che many concerts ana entertainments now in Tull blast in the city, there appears to be no diminn- tion in the number of balls, public and private, Which are nightly held. Every public hall is en- gaged weeks in advance, and it would seem as if ‘the ball season would be extended far into the sum- mer. Last night the several halls of the metropolis ‘were occupied by happy couples, who tripped it to the music of excellent bands until morning, Ball of the Americus Club. ‘The politicians of New York are marvellous bein; Marvellous in their manner of working their party machinery; marvellous in the pertinacity with which they prosecute their personal or official schemes, and marvellous in the readiness with which they can lay aside the trappings of their tribes, close the party lockers and turn to the ‘social side of political life,” there to meet and mingle with their political oppo- nents as men of the world. Among the Circles in which the “social side” is most clearly shown and in which the promptings of manly sentiment and undoubted friendship are most forcibly given and persistently carried out the Americus Club of this city holds the leading place. This club, composed almost entirely of politicians, yet by no means a political club, calls together in the summer time a number of men representing almost all shades of political sentiment, At the beautiful quarters at Indian Harbor, near Greenwich, Conn., there assemble each recurring year numbers of the leaders and workers in the city and county govern- ments, Tired of the dust and drag of city life, wearied ‘with official cares or party contests, they come to- gether to rest their minds and bodies, to enjoy their otium cum dig. in reality and amid some of nature’s loveliest scenes—become, for the nonce, at least, better men. The reputation of this retreat of the Americus Club has already spread far and wide, and the grand receptions and hearty greetings which are given so readily to their numerous guests have thrown such a halo round the club that it is but natara! to expect that there would be many aspi- raats for adin.ssion to its hallowed circle and many more for opportunities to enjoy 1ts company and its muuificence. Bui while, during the summer months the mem- bers of the club disport themselves in most neglige, yet recherche style, it Could not be expected that the winter time, when life and pleasure are being en- joyed on every side, could be allowed to pass with- out some ifort being made by the Ameri cusans to show that the aforesaid social side exists only in the season of sand fies and mos- quitocs, They therefore wok their place in the line of winter amusement givers, and im a very short ‘ame were promoted by general acclaim to a position an the foreiiost rank. Year aiter ye: the occasions ior the the beauty and bri metropolitan so. to surpass iis pred e their winter reunions been thering of representatives of ney and the tact and talent of succeeding fete seems cessurs, and whether such an idea be produc solely by the fact that the last, being freshest im the mind, over. shadows the rememt of the others, now ty "y to determine. Suffice it to say that the immense throng which as- gsembled at ihe Academy of Music last night ap- peared to be unanimous in opinion that this re- union was far alead of any previous one. If sucha thing be possible 1t was so; but that ts saying noth- ing in disparagement of those of the past. It wasa scene of unsurpassable brilliancy, and to attempt to give an adequate ica of the ball when at its height would be [ruiless, ‘The decorations were exceedingly tasteful. There were no extTa ornaments in the body of the house, but the rear wali was covered by a master piece of scene painting, as regards truth- duiness, accuracy of detail! and exquisite finish, representing the house and grounds of the club at is not at Greenwich, Conn., with a handsome view of the | Sound, dotted here and there with clab boats, yachts and craft of various kinds. Ip the foreground of the “drop” is painted a handsome balcony rail, across ‘which, in a gracefutly careless manner, 1s thrown a beautiful American flag, aud the entire scene was so finely executed that a person standing at the main entrance, opposite the centre of the stage, and look- ang down the length of the ball room, would imagine the assembly beiug held on some spacious esplanade which bordered on a beautiful sheet of water. At a skort distance in front of the pic- ture hung the msignia of the club—a goiden tiger’s head, surrounded by a garter bearing the words “Americus Club” In jets of gas, and ateither side of the insignia a faming corkscrew told in an enig- matical manner of the part of the practice if not of ‘the purposes of the club, At the leit end of the pic- Ture, o1 some miniature rocks, stood a very haad- some tiger—perfectly harmless, however, as may be surmised, but adding greatly to the beauty and ap- propriateness of the decorations. At the bases of dhe columns between the proscenium boxes stood urns filled with flowers of such fine workmanship that several times during the night parties uttered exelamations of delight at the fragrance which they supposed the Nowers emitted; but they were unde ceived, as none of them seemed satiated by the odors their imaginations created, but approached the bouquets to get more, and of course got much Jess. Ball of the Mariners’ Lodge, F. A. M., Green- point. It would really appear as though the societies, Joages, clubs and associations in this city iad caught that peculiar disease which physicians say causes people who are aMlicted with it to dance perpetually, Every night, no matter whether the rain pours in torrents on our filthy streets or snow stops the way, the public halls are thronged with people who dance to martial or other music untii day breaks on their revels. Trombone piayers ache m the jaws, “cornets” have split lips and tidders’ elbows are weak with exertion. The amount of rosin expended in keeping fiddle strings 4m tune musé affect the market seriousiy. Should the present ball mania continne much longer the tired musicians who minister to the wants of the dancing public will have to seek relief and rest by employing those excellent German contrivances, of which every lager beer Cory! has at ieast one, to pour forth by machinery and by the hour the latest quadrilles, polkas apd redowas. It would seem eminently proper that these conventent German in- mruments should be employed at every “German,” at feast. But if it is hard on the mnusiclans who have to Dow and scratch nigntly for the amusement of their customers, the metal stragyie to which reporters ure subjected in endeavoring to write something new of each, bull is intinitely worse.

ANNIVERSARY DINNER OF THE CERCLE FRANCAIS DE L’HARMONIE. ‘This flourishing club, composed of the élite of the French colony in our cosmopolitan metropolis, cele- brated their third anniversary last evening, at thelr elegant rooms, 88 Clinton place, by @ banquet in every way worthy of the title which they have adopted. The menu, including polages, hors @wuvres, reléves, entrées rotis, entremets de legumes, entremets sucrés, surtout (embléme de Uharmonie) and dessert et fruits, did the mighest. credit to the chef de cuisine of the Hoffman House, who had been charged with the honorable task of preparing the dinner. More- over the guests were abundantly favored with “the feast of reason and flow of soul,” which was supplied by eloquent and brief 8] es, made by M. le Comte @’Abzac, the French Consul and president of the club; Mr. Di of the Sun, Mr. Salmon, Mr. Fromenthal, Mr. Mercier, of the Courrier des Brats Unis; Mr, ‘Saenger, of the Jewish Messenger; Mr. Schwab, of the Times, and Mr. Kinsler. A capital imitation of Messrs. Gabel and Bourgoin, in the grotesque scene of the gendarmes in ‘Genevieve de Brabant” by Messrs. Arnaud and Deschaux en- livened the dinner, which passed off in a manner most auspicious for the success of the more public entertainment promised for the 2ist of Rone ae 4 the club, in Lhe shape of the most brilliant mask of the winter at the Acad@®my of Music. The officers of the Cercie Francats de L’Harmonie are M. le Comte d’Abzac, President; Mr. Pottier, Vice President; Mr. Fromenthal, Secretary, and Mr. Baillard, Treasurer. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. PROBABLE INFANT MURDER.—Last evening James Dumphy, a newsvoy, residing at the Lodging House, Park place, founa the dead body of a female infant, apparently a week old, in the Park, rear of the City Hall. The body was clad mm @ white musitn dress, ‘The Coroner was notified, VioLENTLY INSANE.—Considerable excitement was caused last evening at the Hudson River Railroad depot upon the arrival of one of the down trains by a woman named Catharine Shay, one of the passengers, exhibiting symptoms of violent 1n- sanity, Her actions were of such @ nature that oficers McGaun and Ostram removed her to the ‘Twentieth precinct station, when a physician was called, who upon examination pronounced the case not dangcrous. She soon became quiet and advised the officer that she had a sister, Mrs. Winslow, living in the city. EXPLOSION OF GaAs.—Last evening about five o'clock an explosion of gas occurred in the cellar of the dwelling house No, 142 East Thirty-third street. Itwas caused by the culpable carelessness of a workman, who had been making some additions to the pipe in forgetting to re] or covering which he had taken off. The apartment, as a conseqnence, was soon filled with gas, and when a servant entered it with a light an explosion occurred, fortunately without injuring her. The building, however, was damaged to the amount of $100. An alarm of fire was raised at the time, but the services of tne firemen were not required. TH 101DE MaNiA.—Another case of attempted self-murder among that class of males—inhabitants of our city—who, from the pressure of pecuniary embar- rassment, or a firm conviction that the battles of life, aggravated by the pains of ceaseless and ill-requited labor, are too desperate for tinal triumph, occurred last evening in the Eighth ward. The latest indi- vidual who wished to change the care and certainly of incessant toil for the uncertainties of an eventful future is one Adolph Hillon, a German, aged twenty- eight years, residing at No. 94 Prince street, who severed an artery in his left arm last evening, sim- ply because of serious trouble which he had with nis partner, He was found and medical aid summoned before he had bled to death, Subsequentiy he was removed to Bellevue Hospital. THE TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE AT ROCHESTER. Fall Particulars of the Falling of the Floor of St. Peter’s and St. Pauls Church—Eight Persons Killed and Twenty Injured. {From the Rochester Chronicle, Jan. 7.] Itis with the saddest feelings that we find our- selves called upon to relate the particulars of a most appalling accident, which occurred last night about a quarter past nine o'clock, at the school house of St. Peter's and Paul church, on Maple street, An £ a festival and concert was be- in eld there for the benefit of the school, and without any wari a por- tion of the second floor, about twenty-five feet in length by forty in width, feli with @ crash to the fcor beneath, precipiiasing Its load of human freight into one mass with the brokéN joisia and beams.

EUROPE. TURKEY AND GREECE. A Review of the Enstern Question and the Policy of the Great Powers Regarding it. {From the London Morning Post, Dec. 19.] ‘The policy of the Western Powers is and must be the same as that which they pursued in 1854, when they formed a coalition to defend Turkey against a threat- ened Russian invasion. ‘To some extent it may per- haps be supposed that this policy has undergone a modification, inasmuch as both France and Engiand would not now so readily as fourteen years ago be induced to take an active part in the quarreis of other States. Non-intervention, so long as the national interests and national honor are not affected, 18 the ruling principle in regard to foreign policy which of late years these Powers, and especially England, have consistently pursued. It may be taken, there- fore, that the Western Powers are necessarily strain- ing every effort to preserve peace; that they seck to induce the Hellenic government to comply with the just requisitions of the Porte, and that in the event of war, so long at least as 1t is confined to the original belligerents, they will not interfere. The substitution of M. de Lavalette for M. de Moustier at the French Foreign Oilce justifies the belief that while the Emperor has secured the advice of a statesman who is perhaps more conversant than any other with all the intricacies of the Kastern ques- toa, he equally intends to leave no stoue unturned to prevent ‘a conflict the consequences of which must be more or less disastrous to those who are concerned in it, The posiion which Prussia has re- cently secured in Europe gives to her an Interest in the impending issue which she would not otherwise have possessed, and it ts gratifying.to learn that her representative at Athens bas veen instructed to co- operate with those of the protecting Powers in en- deavoring to induce the Hellenic government to act with moderation, and enter imto those engagements to respect the rights of Turkey which have been de- manded by the Porte. Nor is there any reason to question the sincerity of the Cabinet of Berlin in taking this course. ‘The neutral Power whose movements will at the present moment naturally excite the greatest atten4 ton is [oem Russia. No one affects to conceal the fact that if the attitude now assumed by Greece be dictated by Russia the position of aifairs in the east of Europe has become very serious indeed. While, on the other hand, Kussta has never directly or indirectly encouraged Greece in her vex- atious treatinent of Turkey since the outbreak ot the Candiote insurrection, 08 the other she is said to have abandoned the fatal policy wich theglate Czar attempted to carry out. It is of course only possible to judge of nations, as of individuals, by their words and actions, and, in the absence or evi- dence to the contrary, to give them credit of being sincere. And we are bound up to the present to believe that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has acted with perfect loyalty towards the West- ern Powers. Uf, however, we assume that there is, in fact, no conspiracy between Greece and any other Power to disturb the peace of Europe, we must refer the present complication to the perversity of the Greek nation and to thetr belief that any attack on them by Turkey would excite so much dis- content among the Christian subjects of the Porte as would ultimately lead to the disintegration of the Turkishempire. Contempt for the armaments of Turkey, confidence in their own powers of resist- ance, reliance on a possible revolt of the Christian subjects of the Sultan, and a hope that if placed tn jeopardy she may obtain the protection of some of the neutral Powers, are the cards with which the weakest Power in all Europe is apparently goin play fora very high stake. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, it is, perhaps, not surprising that, even in braving a war, Greece should pursue the same one-sided policy she has hitherto adopted in the management of her monetary transactious, GERMANY.

The Lombardia, of Milan, says that the authori- ties are taking legal proceedings against the parish priest of Coruo Giovine, near Lodi, who, in explain- Ing the Gospel to his congregation, 8: that “all who purchased the ecclesiastical property sold by the government would be excommunteaten.” ‘The marine of Greece at the present moment numbers one steam frigate, the Hellas, one steam corvette and two sailing, one steam tender and two steam gunboats. The other vessels are all under re- pair or being changed. Ajthough she cannot com- pete with Turkey in a regular war by sea, she can arm and equip any number of corsaira. The Fischtetto, of Turin, caricavures the Turco- Greek question by Turkey, held by France and Eng- land, biowing down a structure built of cards (general peace) by a strong breath (ultimatum to Greece), It has taken so much labor to construct that edifice, and now they persevere in supporting an invalid who by one breath can overthrow It.’’ The salt works of Wieliczka, in Austria, being threatened with destruction by the breaking out of & spring, the Prussian government hastened to offer any quaatity required from its own mines at Stassfurt at cost price. Baron Von Beust, however, declinea the offer, stating that Austria was not in want of salt, and moreover that the accident proved Jess impor- tant than at first suspected. The Wieliczka mi have an underground population of 1,000 souls and yied an annual revenue to the Austrian govern- ment ol $3,000,000 in gold. MISSIONARIES FOR CHINA AND JAPAN. A large congregation assembled last evening in the South church, corner of Fifth avenue and ‘lwen- ty-lirst street, to bid farewell tothe missionaries of the Reformed Church who are about to sail for China and Japan. The meeting having been opened with the customary religious services the Rev. Dr. De Witt introduced the Rev. Dante! Rappelyea, missionary to China, Mr. Rappelyea sald there were many people who objected to foreign missions on the ground that Christianity, like clarity, should begin at home, Cer- tain persons who professed to be Christians had told the reverend gentleman that New York was a field wide enough for the most ambitious soldier of Christ, and that he had better stay athome and leave the heathens abroad to be converted in God’s good time. But he had felt 1t his duty to go abroad. God had called him and it was his privilege to go cheerfully, In China, where he had labored before, there was a very interesting field. God was pleased with the work which had been done there. The light of the Gospel was snin- ing stronger every day. It was the pleasure of the Lord that the mission should be sustained by the Church at home, and therefore it, was to be hoped the necessary assistance would be icrthcoming. ‘The Rev. J, W. Davis, of the Amoy misglon, next addressed the meeting. He had alsu bee re¢om- mended to labor at home by those who discourag“4 foreign missions. Some people were in the habit of saying thac they felt no interest in foreign mis- sions. That was because they had made no sacrifices, Let them give their money and then they would feel aD interest im the cause. Mr. Davis concluded by exhorting the Members of the church to put their nahds deeper in their pockets, and was followed, much in the same strain, by the Rev, Henry Stout, missionary to Japan, = SS SY 8 The Rev, Chancellor Ferris having delivered a Jengthy address, Mr. Ganse read a letter from °~, uilkuown lady who had donated a broken ri) ang a few other trinkets of tri value tower, defray- ing missionary expenses. ie y ' unknown lady had been kali “hile Aghting for the Union, and the ring Was returned to her with his bogy, Mr. Gans; made some ver; touching remarks concerning the precious relic, and concludea by offering \ for sale. The Rev. E. P. Rggers at once came forward, and after an eloquent ah saneting 5 bh, which caused many of his lad; auditors to s a offered $100 for the ring, an said if any member of the congregation was partic- ularly anxious to 80 interesting a relic, and was Willing to give as much as he was, he would willingly forego his privilege as first bidder. Strange to say, ho one Was suMiciently anxious to take ad- vantage of this exceedingly generous offer, and con- sequently the ring was “knocked down” to Mr. ra. ‘The Rev. Mr. Steele, of Newark, offered a closing prayer, in which he wished a fervent Godspeed to the missionaries, and the Rev. Mr. Rappslyea pro- nounced the benediction. HON.
