London, April 1.  Extract of a letter from St. Andrews, in
Scotland, March 15.
There was given here this evening, by a person of
distinction, a masked ball, where there was a brilliant
company of ladies and gentlemen.  The novelty of such an
entertainment, in this part of the world, attracted even
many who were unaccustomed to frequent other public
diversions.  The several characters were admirably
supported, and many bon mots passed upon the occasion.  Mr.
D. appeared in the character of a Highland Chieftain, Mr. A.
as a Merry Andrew, and Miss H. as a Shepherdess, which were
well supported.
