THE NAVAL BALL AT THE CITY HALL,
ARRIVAL OF THE FRENCH
The Messageries Maritimes Company's steamer Ava, Captain Hernandez, with the Louden mail of the 28th December, arrived here this afternoon.
The Ball given by Admiral Hillyar and. the Officers of H. M.'s ships in Harbour, which came off in the City Hall last night, proved to be one of the most successful assemblies of the season. When our Naval friends resolve upon doing a thing, they generally do it with a will; and the fête of last night formed no exception to this hap py rule. Invitations were leaned for nearly four hundred guests, and as nearly all ac cepted, the ball was the largest that we have ever seen in Hongkong, except the famous Masonic assembly of $74. The Ball-room was so full that some difficulty was at times experienced with the round dauces. Among those present were and to protect British interests." When H. E.
