LIAM S. HASTINGS, Esq. in a manner unusual
ly impressive and eloquent. The clerical per-
formances, by the Rev. Messrs. Doggett and
Long, added solemnity and interest to the oc-

numerous collection of ladies of the first re-
spectability and taste, witnessed all the per-
tormances with great appreciation.

was conducted to the table, furnished by Capt.
William Green. It is but justice to observe,
that the entertainment, for the richness and
variety of its provisions, the taste, regularity,
and order of its arrangements, has never been
surpassed, and rarely if ever equalled in this
part of our country. The company were oc4
casionally extremely gratfed with Duets and
songs, by Col. Newhall and Mr.. Perry, which
were performed in style of elegance that
elected an unanimous vote of thanks to those
gentlemen for the important assistance which
they rendered in promoting the festivities of
the occasion.
