Fancy Balls in abundance appear to have
been given lately at the North. A similar
opirit hu been displayed in Charleston.
During the present Mutton several Masuue
ratio Balls nave taken place at Jh'ayolle't,
and one of superior magnificence and taste
very recently at St. Andrew's Hull. We
observe that a bill wits lately introduced in
the Common Council ot Mew York to pm
hlbit entertainments of this description.
Some of the members were in fevctr of the
prohibitloii~others thoujcht that the time
might come when it would be necessary to
pass an ordinance on the subjcct, although it
might not be required at present. Matters
ot this kind* we think, had better be lelt en
tirely to public feeling and opinion. They
are not proper subjects for legislative ac
tion.?( hurlrtton Mercury.

MH. EVERETT.
" Mr. E >? m 4ii orator, or rather, a
fine dcclaimer. He has practiced hi the pro
fessor's chair, and in the pulpit, till Ills elo
cution hastjccomc agreeable, and his man
ner captivating. Mr. E ? I.a* labored
to acquire the nri? of oratory, rather, 1
should think to produte effect than convic
tion?more for display than pi\/fit Hi* at
titudes arc studied; hut they are, neverthe
less easy and jraccfu'. In all he huvh, the
orator in somewhat too apparent?in'all he
d?* ? you sec the action?net .on ?action?of
Demosthenes, and you hear and arc pleated
with the dulcet and mellow tones of hu
voicc?
" Masicnl at U <A|>oll i'i Ivlit."
When he becomes heated with the subject
and stimulated by the ttase of those uround
him, his declamation assumes the character
of eloquence; and is|x>ured with so much
power, and with such propriety and gi.tccful
ncs*, that every hearer is delighted; but,
upon analysing his feelings, he finds that he
has been mure delighted by the fascination o|
the in?nuer, than by tlic peculiar thurnt or
beauty of thv- aibjcct.
" Mr- E i* a fine scholar, and has
read and reflected a great deal His forte
does not however lie in political spcculatmns.
His inclinations and peculiar bent of mind,,
have, 1 suspect, led liim more to the study of
subjects connected with his former profess
ion, than to those of legislation; and the
refined and elegant pleasures of literature.
" Calm <-<>nti-ni|>liition uinl |><xii<: mw,'1
have engrossed more of his time than the
abstriu-t principle-, of government, or the
bickerings of party politics. Mr. E is
always prepared by previous research and
reflection, when he addresses the House, tun!
this he docs but seldom, and only when
'j'i?.?t?ons of deep inteiest and importance
a, c '^'"Cht up for discussion. His style is
nci.t, flowing and oratorical, but somewhat
d.ficient in vigor and point. His speeches
Iroir. their great accuracy, wo?ld appear to
have been labored, and committed before]
they are delivered; and, depending on a me
mory naturally vigorous and improved by
cxcicise, he has thus an opportunity of giv
ing to what he saysall theeharmsof elocution
and all the imprcssivcncsi of action, in both
of which lie excels.
I ) MR. M'DUFFIE.
And |n.iy said I, who is th at now address
ing the Speaker, whose gesticulation is so ve
hement.'
" '* Mr. M'O i , a leading member of I
the opjio^ition. He is a gentleman of Hue tal
ent, and an able, and occasionally^ an elo
quent speaker. Iiis manner, however, as
you may observe, is rather ungraceful, and
the vehemence of his gesture, instead c.f giv
ing impressivenessto, tends to lessen the pow
er of his eloquence. His action is uniform
and violent; Ins right arm is drawn back md
thrust forward with energy, as if he was
hurling the truth nt the speaker, which
gives him the apuearance <fa pugilist, in the
act of striking his antagonist a blow. His
voice too wants power and modul.lion: he
cannot regulate his cadences or adapt its
tones to the sentiment ht utters. Hut, what
he stys.comis with great force and effect on
the mind. He moves along with fluency, and
?lecluinis with vehcmrncc. H.s reasoning
is often solid, and always ingenious?his *ar
cusm is keen,and hit satire biting. He hast
an earnestness and fire a!>out him, that gives |
to nil he says the appearance of sinctrtt\,t
and the force of truth. He doc* not dislike !
ornament, and his imagination is sometimes;
railed upon for images, and his memory fori
illustration*, which are often apposite and'
felicitous. Possessing the warmth of feeling j
common to the South, lie is occasionally, per-1
ha|?s too intempert.te in language and ex-1
travagant in sentiment, and may, sometimes,'
44 o'trstcp the modesty of nature;** but there j
is, notwithstanding, a rt deeming spirit in the I
operations of his mind, which throw these i
minor blemishes into shade. We lose si^ht j
of the manner, in the soundness and occa- j
sional elegance of the nutter. Mr. M'l)
always makes himself well acquaioted with f
the subject on which he means to nddrcsNthe I
House*, and by reading and reflection, stores
his mind with images, arguments, and facts,
calculated to enforce and defend the (.ositions |
he may advance. Hut his temper is, 1 think
somewhat too ardent to render him influrn* I
tial as the leader of a party : although his
tmwers c?f intellect, ami the political bent of
his mind, eminently qualify bun for such a
station."

Mr Randolph.-? The \J. 8. Telegraph
Sublishe* the following as a speech which
tr. Kaudoph intended to make on the Cum
berland K"ud lltll; but at the time he rose,
the question was not debate.dile, according
to the piles of the house. Thin is the only
speech he bus even intended to make this
session.
j1 fev> word* intended to h.:ve been taid Ay
Mr. Randolph, on the postage of the Cum
berland Road Bill.
Sir:? I have bad as little inclination ns
ability to partake in the discus* ons on this
bill; but, 1 cannot let it finally pass without
my solemn protect against it.
If 1 were unrestrained by other considera
tions, and wished to superadd to an angre*
uion upon the right* of the states, insult tho
most offensive tu their pride, I would vote for
this bill. If 1 wished to bring akiout e? Mis
and di*?co?d between the federal and st^tu
authorities; but almve all, If I had it most at
heart to embroil the administration ju*t com
ing mt?> power, and to embarrass tluir very
first official movements, I would vote for this
bill.
What, Sir! shall the federal authority
seize upon the great pusses ami thorougfiiicK
of our land, ami construct harrier* which no
man shall he pcinrnmd to pass to mill on
market, to church, to court, or to an elec
tion, without paying unto Cb<m?* such t- ibuto
as the imperial pleasure shali prescribe? If
wc are to erect a splendid imperial go? em
inent, let us at least endeavor to emulate tho
virtues of j.hc Roman despots, sinc e we will
copy their '.rimes. It never entered into the
hcadot Tiberius himself,thnt perfect mod* I of
a tyrant, to levy toll* upon the Appiun or
A^nilUn. Sir, when these gates shall ho
erected within her territory, it will be iho
bounded duty of the commonwen'th of Vir?
ginia to abate the nui?nncc. Thi* must
hring her intodirect collision with the federal
power. Y?ai leave her no alternative?for
Mihmission cannot hecuduted, even in suppo
sition. 1 shall pursue ?bis subject no farther,
it is too paintul to be dwelt u|k>h.
Accident.?An open canal boat started yes
terday morning from this city fot Columbia,
with a cnrno of one hnn'lrcd sacks of salt on
boiird. The wind, which blew violently
from the westward the principal paitof the
day, drove her ashore in the marsh, oppo*
site Cad-DKn's whatf, where sh?* now hes.
The sea in the harbor was wen from the city
to break over her, and a boat with bands, a
cable and anchor, was sent to her ass'sstan. c;
the boat has since rsturmd, with the men of
thee.analbo.it, and we understand the cargo
it lost. We learn this is a peculiarly unfrr*
tuimtc case. Hanidai., the owner of the
boat and cargo, is a coloured man, of very
good character. It was only on Tuesday
lost, that the name Invit having or hoard
at that time 12J sack* of salt, was, by the vuk
Icncc of the wind, sunk m one of our docks.
On that occasion, 5S sacks of salt weic lost,
laud the balance somewhat injured. Haki
n.M. paid the shippers of the snlt the
lull cost of the *ho(c,and took the damaged
part to bis own account, and to make op a
cm go purchav d 30 sacks more. Now ihc
whole t argo, and probabl. the boat, will be a
lot tl b-ss, amounting to 5300 on cargo, mid
cJloO on the boat. She was new,on hci first
v.?\ .gf, and cost the above sum in Columbia,
