Last Thursday evening, a superb ball was given at Concert-
Hall, by General Hancock, at which were present, His
Excellency Count D'Estang, and a number of Officers
belonging to the French fleet.  There were upwards of a
hundred of the principal ladies of the town present, who
being richly and elegantly dressed, added a most inchanting
brilliancy to the evening, and in the eyes of their
countrymen, at least, gave no bad specimen of American
female grace and beauty!
