The Bal Masque of the "Yotms Mtcnnerchor"
passed off In splendid Rtyln at the Academy last
night tt Is to say, this niornlnR. It was the
first real masquerade and carnival we have had
this Bcoson, literally speaking. Every person
who stepped upon the duuclnst-tloor, or occupied
parquet circle seat, wai either masqued or
fancifully costurneJ, of necessity, and the most
grotesque leatures ot the ancient Venetian car
nivals were faithfully reproduced. In fact, this
reproduction was so. faithful, that it almost bo
came tedious. 1
In some respects the bull did not coitoe up to
the general expectation which advertising had
crcau d ot 11; in other rog,K?oM it was as fuliy a
success as any ball ot ' the kiud we nave ever
had lnrhiliwlaiuhia; aud in still other respoct3
it surpassed all predecessor. It had buen
announced that the number of ticket sold wai
"limited," so that uo inconvenience or crowding
need be anticipated; but the limit must have
been a most comprehensive and liberal one, for
very many ladles were compelled to stand all
through the entertainment.
The inusicnl arrangements were in charge of
Mr. Curl Scctz, musical director of the Manner
chcr, who had as coadjutors Messrs. Mark Hau
ler, Cunnlngton, and Bergman. So far as it went
the music was excellent; but, like the Issue of
tickets, it was ycry "limited," especially during
the early portion of the evening: and for five
minutes at a time, or longer, the throng upon the
floor would cither bo motionless, or mixed up in
laughable contusion, waiting or hunting tor a
chance to dance.
It must be confessed, that in the early part of
the evening there wtu a,i apparent mismanage
ment or lack of management iu tho floor busi
ness. Nobody scorned to be iu chief command,
and nobody seemed to kuow what was to be
done or to be expec.e 1.
The arrival of "Prince Carnival," aboutlO P.M.,
was likewise In the nature of a, fiasco, aud rather
ludicrous than imposing by its allegorical splen
dor. The curtain rolling up, revealed the Prince
and an unknown Princess on his arm, descend
ing Irom the clouds in a supposititious chariot.
Heither the Prince nor his Qi-een of Folly were
masked, as they should hvo been; and they
were permitted to alight upon the floor, from
their celestial trip, in almost unbroken silence
tho audience breathlessly waiting to see whit
they were going to do. The only ovation or
reception they were tendered was a trio of
ohecis from the society and promenaders. Then
a ring was formed, aud the Queen struck out iu
fancy dance, which was well done, and very
interesting.
' lint, notwithstanding these drawbacks, the
ball was a most brilliant affair, and, considering
that it was the first one given by this society, it
must be admitted a great success. There was
almost infinite Variety of entertainment. The
floor was crowded with costumes of every con
ceivable texture, hue, and shape, 'tram paste
board to -velvet, and from pill-boxes to stutfed
elephants.
Perhaps the mo.'t comprehensive way to de
scribe, in our allotted space, an aflair of sucli ad
mitted grandeur, will be to regard it as appealing
in turn to each of the five senses sight, hearing,
smell, touch, and taste.
' To the eye, most of all, the grandeur of the
ball irresistibly appealed. The home had been
adorned most Kitistlcally by Mr. William Rolin
and assistants. Around the front of the balcony,
family circle, and amphitheatre, tri-colored
banting was tastily festooned, the claspings
being carved, with shields containing the coats
of arms of the States, and ot various foreign
nations. A row of chandeliers along the sides
of the stage made the illumination of tho build
ing complete. Pretty arrangements of ever
greens and variegated lanterns adorned the
proscenium and lent freshness and cheerfulness
to the gay scene." -The auditorium was comfort
ably filled with,' gayety arid fashion, and from
the upper circle $he view to be enjoyed was
Bparkling, varied, and comic. An army of ludi
crous characters moved in most amusing con
trast with thousands of couples dressed in fanci
ful and rich attire. .
So much, In a general way, for the coup (Haril,
which embraced the brilliant hues of innumera
ble prisms; the ball-room throng, especially, in
their fresh .and pretty colors outrlvalling the
attractions of a royal parterre. The sounds of
the ball, too, wer curiou", yet grateful to the
eense. The lively and inspiriting strains of the
orchestra, the rattling and shuffling of feet in
"poetic measures," tlij, jingle of (ester's bells,
the crack of tho huntsmen's whips, the thump
of heavy Yorkshire clogs, the piteous outcries of
apes, the bleating of calves, and the "silvery
laughter" of plantation darkies, making a sort
of harmonious babel long to bo remembered.
The sweetest perfumes also were commingled
in " a balm of a thousand flowers," the perfumes
of bouquets, cologne, otto of roses.and bergamot
making grateful concord with the odor of fried
oysters and coffee. The supper was like all such
affairs no' worse,' perhaps, than the carnival
supper, and decidedly no better. Everything
that was not eaten up was cold. Walters des
patched on 'hurried. missions came back "no
more forever;" and the few who went out of the
Bupper-room. wltU wil-ouuiplaoeut fcatisl'uction
lighting up their visages, were foitunate excep
tions. . , ; , .
One oftheprintValfeiit lire's of tho entertain
ment was the grand . niiuxh which opened the
ball. The musicians headed the line and were
followed by the floor managers. Ail "elephant,"
which vas almost the natural size of the
"crater" itself, was borne by two men. A youncr
lady of rare beauty was seated on its back, and
elicited considerable applause aud admiration.
The w hole affair w as one of the most pleasant
and successful of the kind that ever was given
in tho city, and its repetition will be bulled with
delight and satisfaction.. '
One of the principal features of the Masque
jade Carnival was the costumes assumed by the

floor managers of the Association. , They were ,
dressed In plain black suit, trimmed with silver '
and gold, their hats being dork felt adorned with
long flowing cords of gold. They presented a
handsome appearance. .
"Waddilove" also made hUdebut on the boards,
the same gentleman taking that character as
represented it at the ball of "La Cotene Carni
val." . Various kinds and sizes of the ape apeoles
were aUo there in goodly numbers, performing
numerous antics, and particularly taking plea
sure in tripping the clown and making the most
distrcssit g grimaces at the fairer part of the
monkey sex. ' .
Numbers ot "Daughters of the Regiment" were
visible, leaning on the arms of "Richards," and
innumerable quantit es of 'Pocahontas" waltz
ing with bears of every description. "King
Charles Ii" was deeply interested in vUitlng tho
box whore the charming '"Ophelia" was resting
her weary limbs, afttr having danced with, the
meditating "Hamlet," as she declared, the
forty-flfih time. "Bcami-h McCoul" escorted
tho beautiful "Arrah-na-Pogue," and "Colonol
O'Grarly" appcored deeply jealous at the Insult
offered bv th aspiring young Fenian "McCouL"
Politicians were also visible, a Copperhead
having two faces (which is significant or thu
fratcrnitj) laking a prominent part In the mass
meeting of clowns and asBes. The negro portion
of the community particularly avoided this inter
esting member of one of the "F. F. V.'b," aud
who was looked upon, not as tho glioat of
("Hamlet's" father), but the last reminiscences
of the "Great Confederacy," and that soon will
be defunct.

St. Thomas, W. T., January 12. Secretary W.
Ii. Seward anlved here in the Desoto on the
9th instant. On the 10th he paid a visit to the
ex-President of Mexico, Ant -nia Lopez de Santa
Anna. They hud a coulerence of an hour.
Report Ray that the Secretary of State told him
that the Monroe doctrine would be enforced,
and on no account would tho United States
peimit im empire in Mexico.
Alter this interview he returned on board, and
at 6 o'clock lauded again and drove to the Gov
ernor's manfcior, where he dined. He left lor
bt. Croix on the" Jlth, at about 2 o'clock.
It is probable that Mr. Seward will proceed
from St. Croix to St. Domingo, where he no
doubt will make the acquaintance of tho re
cently inaugurated President Ot the Dominican
Republic, Luenaveutura i3ez, and at the ss-oaa
time villi take a glance at the anciont residence
ot Colun'bus, bu dungeon, us well as several
nntiquit.es oppertainiuc to this memorable
h, dividual, the most prominent feature among
which U the pruull chapel where tne first mass
was rend by Columbus and his clergy.
A singular incident worthy ot not ce occurred.
When the De IScto anchored somo boats boarded
the steamer; in one of them was a black woman
(washer by tiade), who, seeing a man standing
at the bulwark, n )t knowing him to b3 the Se
cretary, handed him a paper, crying, "Massa,
please hand my credentials to the ollicers." The
Secretary obeyed most kindly and promptly.
The lollowiuET extract is iroin the St. Thomas
lUende of the 10th instant:
The United Btates war steamer De Soto, Cap
tain Walker, arrived hero yesterday morning
direct from the City of Washington, which sh
lett on ine morning ot me istinst. it is witn
much satisfaction we announce that she has on
board the Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of
the State Department of the United Stales, and
Mr. Frederick Seward, Under Socretary, with
two ludicf. The honorable and venerated states
man and f'nmily visiteil our shore yesterday fore
noon, anc on leaving lor the ship, made known,
through the American Consul, that he would at
three o'clock be willing to receive on board any
gentlemen w ho might be desirous of an inter
view with him.
In accordance with this intimation many gen
tlemen, and more especially the greater part of
the Consuls accredited here, availed themselves
of the rare opportunity of lorming the acquaint
ance of so distinguished a personage His ex
cellency the Vice-Governor aiso went on board
and received a salute, to which Fort Christian
replied. The Fatisfaetion experienced at the
reception given to those who went on board, we
believe, is unanimous, and the pleasurable feel
ings which this occasion has brought torth will
remain indelibly impressed on the minds of all
who participated therein.
It would read as stereotype were we to attempt
to allude to the courteous, affable, generous, and
frank manner of this exalted statesman, since
enough of that is known to make it needless on
our part, Mr. Seward intends to be here forty
eight hours from the time of his arrival, and it
is our most sincere wish that he may during that
time find enough on our little ibland to tntceBt
and aroufce. From all we can learn, the visit of
Mr. Seward and family to the West Indies is one
purely of recreation, and we trust and hope it
may prove amply so to them. From hence we
believe the l)e Solo proceeds to 8t Domingo.
Havana, January 23. The steamship Creole
arrived hire yesterday from New Orleans, and
leaves to-day at noon for New York, carrying
from me but a single item ot interest, which is
tne arrival here, on tbe United States steamer
De Solo, from Port au Prince, Havti. of Mr. Sew
ard and party, who are staying at the Almy
Hotel. The distinguished, visitors nave Deen
shown every atientiou by the authorities here.
and it they all woke up this morning without
headaches it is a great wonder; for no later than
last night they were entertained Dy the captain
General, who gave them a most sumptuous ban
quet, at which all the notables ot Havana were
nresent to do them honor.
It is vmDOssible tor me at this time to elve a
detailed account of the sayings aud doings at the
palace, w hien was in a blaze ot unlit inside aud
out, as it tne Queen's birthday or pome other
national lettivui were being celebrated. A grand
serenade is spoken of ns quite likely to come oil'
to-night, which will be quite a9 much, enjoyed,
no doubt, by the crowd outside as those within
Mrs. Almy 's walls a most excellent quality in
all serenades. e ehall expect Mr. Seward to
pre sent himself to us on the balcony and bow his
ibanks, in return tor which there shall be an
muonrious clapping of hands, or even something
like three cheers mav be attempted. The music
will be good, the compliment graceful, and every
one mil go home pleaded with himself and his
neitrhnors.

THE ADAMS EXPRESS R0SBERV.
Trial of TrlHtram aad Clarfe Trlntrani (
Plead entity Clark IrpoM to
right.
The announcement of the trial of the men :
urpectcd ot the robbery of the Adams Kxpresa !
Mini pan v'g treasure-box attracted a ereat crowd
ot people to the intensely qutet but enterpriiing
iit i unagepon, uonn., yesterday morning.
nun tne main features ot mm most extraordi
nary case the public Is passably familiar. If it
knew all about the details, It would be wmcr
than tim Company, its counsel, and its detco
tives, all of whom are as yet literally in the dark
as to tne men wno tooK the money from tne car.
the place where it was taken, and the time at
which the crime was committed.
Americans are known th world around as
cute, smart, and careful of their own, but for all
thai they are the most reckless, inconsiderate,
and trusting people on the face of the earth.
A moment's glance at the history of the past
year win convince us that the men "who
went it blind" in oil, copper, gold, and
timber stocks are much more confiding than
cute, but to no more perfect, illustration or ex
emplification of the national inconstderatencw
can we point than to the absolutely reckless
patronaue of expresses. exDrcstuncn. and ex-
prefcs-wagona in this and every great city.
Let a man call himnclt an expressman, let
him have a horse, wagon and badcre. and we
trust him with cold and silver, with apparel
and goods, indillerent to his name, character.
or rcaponsibility. Who of tho thousands that
daily patroni.e the dozen or more expresses
that run between thin and the adjacent cities
Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, and
so on It lows or cares about the integrity or
responsibility of those he trusts? And yet
trunks filled with valuable dresses, boxes with
presents, packages with the result of a "day'j
(mopping" an manner ot trucit are given into
the hands of these parties with tho most im
plicit luith, simply because they have od their
caps the magic word "Express."
lo a more notable extent this has been lostered
by the patronage of expresses going to and fro
between this and cities far remote. Nearly
every company originated its enterprise with a
carpet-bae and trunk:. Mono ot them bad capi
tal to any extent, and a loss such as this borne
by the Adams Express Company, would not only
have crippled the majority of them in days gone
by, but to-day they would find it dithcult with
assets and credit to meet the eight months' notes
they would try to give as satisfaction to their
patrons.
it i only. then, when some tremendous shook
like this comes upon the community, like a clap
of thunder Irom a clear sky, that the public is
brought to a stand-point oi observation and re
flection : and it is to be hoped, and indeed pre
sumed, that for awhile at least we will tuke care
that the parties to whom we intrust our goods,
erreenbacks,' and gold will be those who can
mako Kood its potsible loss rather than those
who, like ourselves, would be utterly upset and
carried dqwn the river of destruction by the
calnnnty. "'
with the capital, accumulations, wealth, and
credit of the Adams Exoress Company we have
nothinir to do, beyond chronicling the fact that
it is, as it bus been for many vears, ever able.
prompt aud ready to meet its obligations, never
yt deeming it policy or finding it necessary to
put oil' a ecttlement until a more convenient
season. On the night ot the 6ch of January,
18(iC, the Boston mail train from this city took
out the regular Adama Express car, undercharge
of Messenger Moore,
Besides the oidmarv amount of freight, the
iron safe contained a lai co amount of money
several hundreds of thousands ot dollars the
exact amount of which it is not deemed desira
ble, for police reasons, to place before the pub
lic, on tne arrival oi tne train at new Haven
it was found that the car bad been opened, tho
sa'e rined, tne money ana government bonds
taken, and that the thief or thieves were eone.
The Company had two duties ti per form
one to the public and one t" itself. Itdischatged
them first at sight paying every dollar of tho
loss, without a momeni's hesitation or a mo
ment's delay; the other, the discovery, capture,
and punishment of tho criminals, was at once
begun, and yesterday, at Bridgeport, one of the
flnxl scenes in the melodrama was enacted.
The stoiy of the suspicion, arreBt, and confes
sion of one ot tbe parties will be detailed at
length on the trial of the other, though it is
very doubtful if the actual facts of the robbery
Itself are nisclosed for many months to come.
The two unhappy men who were caught at the
time, and who are now in the clutches of the law,
were by no means the actual handiworkcrs of
the crime, nor do they participate in the plun
der, though it would look a it they alone are to
bear the .consequences befoie the courts of
Justice.
The two men charged with the robbery are
Augustus Tristram and Thomas Clark, both resi
dents and possibly natives ot this city. Tristram,
who has confessed his narticination in the
aflair, and thrown himself upon the clemency
ot the court, has a lovely young wife, who
stands nobly by him with true womanly devo
tion in bis hour of.need, and two very interest
ing children. Ho is a young roan, not over
thirty; was formerly an expressman in some
city 'employ. His family reside in Horatio
street.
The other man, Thomas Clark, probably an
alias, Is about the same age, Bingle, and of a dif
ferent mould. Tristram is apparently peniteut,
appreciates the fearful gravity ot his position,
and begs piteouf ly lor mercy. Clarke is bound
to tight it out, and the company propose to
atlbrd him the opportunity.
Clarence A. Seward, Esq., and Mr. Beardsley
are the counsel for the Express, and Judge
Stewart, whose name seems to be a household
word in all homes ot crime and trouble, appears
tor the accused. The 8 A. M. train to Bridge
pert vesterday was crowded, of course, tho cars
were hot and close, the passengers annoyed and
uncomlortable.
The witnesses on the part of the prosecution
were numerous, and came from Washington,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, includ
ing bankers, clerks, detectives, and employed of
the company; the witnesses lor the defease were
nil, and the only partisan of either defendant
was tbe tearful wile ot the confessed' criminal
Tristram.
The defendants admit, because they could not
avoid it, that they hud the money, aud account
tor it by saying that after tbe robbery was com
mitted by others whose names as yet ate undis
closed, tbey were in the place of deposit, duz up
the money, took it to old man Tristram's in Nor
walk, and sent it by him to the rendezvous in
this city. To Mr. 'Spooner, tho Superintendent
ol the New Eue-land Division, is due much ot the
ciedit attaching to the prompt discovery and
arrest of the robbers.
When the New Haven aircnt. Mr. Webb,
entered the car he found two money packages
on the floor, one contaiuine $130,000, the other
$80,000. lie at once procured a policeman, who
went by the down train to Bridgeport, where the
cars were detained three-quarters of an hour lor
Mr. Fpooner, who searched the cars there, aud
carefully wuiched the passengers who got on at
the other stations. . .
One was inuillednpin a most extraordinary
manner, and attracted the attention of Mr.
Spooner, who caused him to be "shadowed," as
indeed were many others, the result beinir the
diKfovcrv of Tristram's house and leading to tho
subsequent developments. The cae will be of
the greatest interest, and it is by no means cer
tain that Clark will .ptatid as linn w he docs
now when ci.lled upon to plea ,
The trial wa iot down for yesterday, before
Judge Butler, and JuiV.ro Stuart was prepared
with Tristram to plead" "guilty." In cosine
nuenr of the death iot a. member of the local
bar, the Court adjourned until to-nay at nine i
o'clock, at which time Tristram will enter his
. plea, and C'ark will bo arraigned for trial.

"Money is more active, and loans on call
under 6 per cent, are exceptional. In commer
cial paper there is moderate business at 7?i58 per
cent, for best names, 9 lor good, and 1015 for
ordinary. The bank statement shows more
activity, and indicates hieher prices lor money.
As the season advances money on call promises
to command legal rates' ,and be in request at that
rate.
"An extensive forgery of checks on tho Chat

About 9 o'clock, an individual hailing from Bal
timore, who was in this citv on buslntwa. fell
into the hands ot a gang of roughs who makn
their headquarters in the neighborhood of
Ninth and Chesnnt streets. The srentleman In
question had met tome friends during the after
noon, and had, perhaps, Imbibed more than
prudence would dictate. The pleasant ad ven
turers who are continually on the lookout for
pigeons to ' be plucked, took ' charge of the
atranier and introduced him to several of the
' tigers" that are caged In that immediate vici
nity. The result of the whole was, tbat in gain
ing his experience the Balttmorean was loser in
a sum ranging from $60 to $75. After draining
the purse of the unfortunate, they induced him.
to go to a neighboring drinking saloon, and then
inaugurated a fleht. which was continued npon
the sidewalk after they had been elected by the
bartender. The Baltimore rentleman sustained
ereat bodily injury in addition to hut financial
. Mayor McMlchacl would add Tery considera
bly to the comfort or the citizens residing in taa
neighborhood, if he would pay special attention
to a den of thieves and reprobates in a very pro
minent position at the comer above-mentioned.
It is a notorious lounging place for persons with
out visible means' of supoort. and several nnr.
sons have been attacked bv its hahUues. The
safety of the lives and property of our citizens
is endangerod nightly by tae gentry that issue
ftom its portals. The place has a local habita
tion, but no name, but certainly Its character
must be known to the police. Outrage on our
most promineLt streets are becoming altogether
too common, and it is to be hoped tnat the au
thorities will look after some of the alsrooutabln
nnaereround holes with which our city abounds.
A general breakine-up of a tew of tho placei of
resort for scoundrels would add greatly to the
moral health of the city. ' .
