There was a large number of cases, of a

turbance.

The Fancy Dress Ball.
The Grand Fancy Dress Ball, which lias
been talked of for some weeks, came off at
Lancaster Hall last eveuing. It was got up
under the management of the gentlemen who
have had the direction of the Temperance
Assemblies, and was a full success in every
particular. The hall was handsomely decorat
ed with flags and streamers. The floor, with
Its gay aud festive dancers and the crowd that
lined the sides of the hall, presented an ani
mated appearance, while the gallery was (tiled
to repletion with those who atleuded more for
the purpose of looking on, than participating
in the scene. Such a brilliant affair has never
before been witnessed in Lancaster Hall.
Every ticket was sold and applications for
more were made, but the managers very judic
iously declined to sell more than the accommo
dations of the hall would wairanL
There went, as near as we could judge,
something like two hundred different costumes,
representing almost every age and nation.
The Firemen and the Military were also well
represented. It is impossible for us this
morning to give all the “Character dresses,”
but we wiil particularize a few.
Mrs. J. H. B—k, in Turkish costume; Mrs.
P—s,in Indian costume; Mr. McC—y as Lady
Teazle; Misses S—n and G—s as Night and
Morning; Mrs. L. C—t as Highland Mary;
Mrs, G. R—h as Queen Anne; Mrs. F—d
■» uWfcbgarlan Lady; Mbs S—e as Martha
Washington; Miss S—has Di. Vernon; Mrs.
J. B—d as the Goddess of Liberty; Mrs. T—y
as America; Mrs. D—n as a Greek girl.
Mr. J. H. B—k as Duke Aranza; Mr. W. II.
P—« as Rob Roy; Mr. T. R. R—t as Hamlet;
Mr, C. G. H—« as a French Courtier; Mr. M.
McC—y as a Spanish Bull-flghter; Mr. W.
R—s as a Shaker; Mr. J. A—tas Conrad de
Cousey; Mr. O—dis an Indian Chief; Mr.
R—h as Don Caesar de Bazan; Mr. B—e as a
Sailor; Mr. S—n as a Turk; Mr. C—r as a
Clown; Mr. 8—r as a Greek; Mr. W. H. S—h,
chief officer of the North American, as l’aul
Pry; Mr. R—sand Mr. O’B—n as Yankees;
Mr. F—d as a Chinaman; Mr. B—n as a Mouk;
Mr. D—o as a Continentaier; Mr. P—e as a
Sailor.
The above U but a small proportion of the
Fancy costumes on the floor, but the limited
time we were there would not permit us to go
further into the business. We had almost
forgotten one,and that was the “devil,” with
horns and tail. He was there dancing as hap
pily with the Flower Girl as any one in the
room. Paul Pry created a great deal of sport,
and the character was carried out to perfec
tion. In short everything went off as happily
as possibly could be, and the whole affair re
flects the highest credit on the mauagers. who
have taken unwearied paios to get up the
ball with as much splendor as possible.
Accident from Careless Siiooti.no.—
Last. Saturday, just before the close of tlie
public school st Ferry Village, Cape Elizabeth,
kept by Miss Merrill, a lad uained Collins was
in a garden adjoining the school house, firing
at a privy, with a musket. One of the bails
passed through the walls qj the privy, through
the wall of the school bouse and the dash
board inside, striking tbe leg of a lad named
Lombard, who had it stretched out in the aisle,
passing through his leg, and through a piece
of dec ou the wall behind the stove and tlieuce
through the partition wall into another room
where the ball was found in a flattened condi
tion. Dr. Wright was called to attend tha
wounded lad. He fouud that the hall had
made a large hole in the leg just above the top
of the boot, but no bones were broken, though
be feared some of them might be splintered.
It was entirely an accident on tbe part of the
lad who fired the musket, though he should
have known better than to have been firing in
so close proximity to a school-house. He
null have had a heavy charge in the gun to
have sent the ball through so mauy obstacles
as mentioned above.
Portland and Forest Avenue Horse
Railroad.—In another column will be found
the report of the committee of the City Coun
cil on this important local measure. The
members of the committee feel the lack of
experience and of practical knowledge in re
lation to this enterprise, and though the com
mittee have considered the subject with much
care, the Council do not deem it wise to act
hastily, but have published the report with its
amendments for the purpose of calling the at
tention of our citizens to the matter, and par
ticularly the attention of those whose private
interests are to be affected, or who may feel
jealous of the city’s interests, and wish to have
them properly protected. In other words, the
members of the city government iuvite the
suggestions of their lellow citizens, and par
ticularly tbe ocjectious of those who may see
anything objectionable in the measure as it is
now proposed; for it is the desire of all parties
that an enterprise of ao much importance
should be so well laid out and begun that it
may need no change and lead to no regrets.
Mi •
M. L. Lecture.—Last evening the City
Ilall was crowded in all its parts by an appre
ciative audience, who, for two hours and a
quarter, listened with wrapt attention to that
wonderful man and natural orator, John B.
Gouoh, Esq. Mr. Gough's subject was Brit
ain, her classes, customs, etc. The lecturer was
evidently laboring under the disadvantages of
a hoarse cold, and for a time we feared Ills
voice would fail him, but he gradually warmed
up, and long before he had reached the middle
of his discourse “ Richard was himself again.”
His descriptions were exceedingly interesting;
his persouations perfect, and his humor irre
sistable. The peroration was surpassingly
eloquent, and his reference to our own great
national struggle, ami his whole-hearted sym
pathy for the loyal cause of Eight, Trutli and
Justice, were responded to by the most enthu
siastic and long-continued applause.
The next, and closing lecture of the course,
will l>e on Wednesday evening of next week,
by Weudell Phillips, Esq.
In behalf of the ladies of "East West
brook Soldiers’ Belief Society,” I would most
gratefully acknowledge the receipt of forty
dollars from the members of Co. E, enrolled
militia of Westbrook. And may their noble
example be followed throughout our land.
May we all remember those who have sacriltc
i Home- and its comforts, and periled life for
a common cause. In rendering aid to cheer
and bless the suffering we but respond to the
iflrttinct of hmnnnifv
Over three thousand articles In hospital
stores and clothing have Iteen forwarded by

Westbrook, Feb. I7th, 1863.
Tonnage Duties.—In reply to an enquiry
made by the Collector of Customs of tills Dis
trict, we learn that the Secretary of the
Treasury has decided that a vessel entering
from a foreign port, with a cargo for two or
more American ports, pays tounage duty only
at her first port of entry; the voyage or
voyages to her final port of discharge being
considered as one and the same voyage, ending
at her last port.
Mental Science.—We bespeak for the
lecture of Mr. Stewart, at Mechanics' Ilail
this eVjeniug, on Mathematics, a liberal patron
age. It is an important subject, and will lie
treated in an interesting manner. The avoid
able causes of insanity will be hinted at in the
course of the lecture.
Bo ard of Tr ade.—Members of the Board
of Trade are reminded that the anuual meet
ing will take place this evening, at the rooms
of the Mercantile Library Associaton. A lull
and punctual attendance is requested as im
portant business will come before the Board.
How it Looks to Outsiders. — Lookers
on see most of the game, says the proverb:—
and the reason is obvious — they watch the
movements without risk or passion, and with
no absorbing purpose of their own to divert
attention from the plans of an adversary. The
St. John (X. B.) Globe of the 4th instant
quotes in full the peace resolutions now pend
ing in the ‘Maine House of Representatives,
offered, it will be remembered, as an amend
ment to Mr. Kingsbury's resolutions sustain- ;
ing the national Government This is
what the Globe says of the amendment
proposed by the member from Westbrook :
It seems to us that dehating a set of resolu
tions like these is a useless waste of time. They
cau do no good, if passed, for the rebels have
declared through their newspapers, and quite
lately in another way, in reply to the Tamma
ny Hall Democrats at New York, that peace
is not to be thought of by them, with “the Un
ion as it was and the Constitution as it is,” for
a basis. Nothing but a recognition of their,
independence will satisfy them; and if Mr
Smith is in facor of that he ought to come
out like n man and acote it. His" resolutions,
however, can do a great deal of harm, as the
very discussion of them, even if they are not
passed, must teud to embarrass the general
Government.
The editor of the Springfield Repub
lican says he has a receipt signed by Nathaniel
I’. Banks, in 1836, for money received by him
from Sargeant M. Davis, of Roxburv Mass, in
whose employ he was. as a machinist, at *1.33
per day. The same Nathaniel P. Banks, since
that time, has beeu Governor of Massachu
setts, Speaker of tile United Slates House
of Representatives, and pronounced the most
accomplished, with a single exception ( Henry
Clay) that ever held that place—and is now
a Major-General in the United Stales Army,
and in command of the Federal forces at New
Orleans.

General Foster’s Expedition—Command As
sumed by Gen. Hunter.
New York, Feb. 17.
The Herald's Port Koyal letters are to the
effect that some difficulty occurred ns to the
right of command to the troops of Gen. Fos
ter’s expedition to that place, the latter officer
presuming that although in the jurisdiction of
Gen. Hunter's military department, the su
preme command of his own men still rested
in himself, as being a portion of the 18th army
corps. But Gen. Hunter has settled the ques
tion by assuming command of Gen. Foster's
troops, regarding them as reinforcements to
the 10th army corps, of which he is chief, and ;
requiring Geu». Neglee and Terry to report to I
him.
