The Birthday Ball, at Government House, was wholly and most pleasantly a success. The guests numbered upwards of 400, so that, while the company was somewhat less numerous than that of last year, it was numerous enough to fill each room of the suite, and to cause a "crush" in the ballroom, when the "invitation" to some favourite waltz or other dance was sounded by the orchestra. There was a capital band, the leadership of Mr. George Wright ; under and the selection of music was excellent. The ball was opened about a quarter after nine o'clock ; his Excellency dancing with Mrs. Vogel, and Sir George Arney with Mrs. Gillies. At this time, the ball-room was fairly filled ; and most of the guests had arrived by ten. o'clock. Amongst those who accepted the Gover-, nor's invitation, and who were present, were the following; but we must explain that the list is not to be taken as complete, as, in many instances, guests did not deliver their cards on entering : — C.
