London. . . March 23. . . The ball at the Mansion House was
opened on Thursday night about 10 o'clock by the Duke of
Devonshire and the Lady Mayoress; the dancing continued till
half past four yesterday morning, and before five the whole
company left the Mansion house, greatly pleased with the
grandeur and elegancy of the entertainment, as well as the
order and regularity with which it was conducted. The
