Twenty-second Regiment Ball. For some months past what is known as “society” has been in a state of anxious expectation for the bail and promenade of the Twenty-secona regiment. Young ladi¢s have been overlooking their wardrobes and selecting their costumes, gentiemon have been engaged in finding ladies to accompany them, and old and young have had their minds engrossed with arrangements such as would ft them for the festi- val. The evening long looked for at last came round, and with it came such a crowd as has seldom been seen even during this unusually brilliant ball season. To say that the Academy was crowded is scarcely sufficient to convey & just idea of the numbers in attendance. As early as nine o'clock the co mpany commenced to arrive in such numbers that those who had been exercised by anxiety as to the success of the affair were fully satisfied that thetr most sanguine expectations w ould be realized, and that a crush would reward the efforts of the committee to secure @ large attendance.
