A Her telegram Majesty states ' s , ship that , Monarch a ball was , are given being to them , last week at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis , which was largely attended by the American Naval officers and Government officials , and that dancing was kept up till daylight . While we do not wish to grudge the officers of the Monarch any decent amusement , when we remember the mission on which the vessel has been employed , we think that balls and festivities are entirely out of place . It is not often that a British Man-of-War acts as a hearse , for the conveyance and of the this corpse fact of alone a private if the gentleman of home Mr . to Peabod his native was land not , sufficient to command , a decent memory bearing , should have y prevented Captain Gommerrel from merry-making while yet employed upon a sad and mournful duty . In ordinary funerals it is a tradition that the hired mutes pass the evening at the public house occasions ; but has , tm not til been now , tolerated the introduction in civilized of land dancing . We on such our American cousins are getting above common-place suppose prejudices—at all events , they seem to have lost their sense of incongruity .

The mysterious individuals who have made the arrangements , their and Royal who scheme Commissioners , up to a profound the present of 185 secret 1 time who , , are have having no succeeded less some a bod money y in than on keep their the ing hands to get rid of , have entered , into , an arrangement with the Royal Horticultural Society with presumedly this one object in view . Already the Horticultural Gardens are in a state of partial annihilation . The arcades have been pulled down , piles of bricks and cement have taken possession of the flower beds , and confusion reigns supreme- It seems that the idea is that the permanent exhibition buildings shall extend the length of either private selves side of being the occupation gardens divided . behind from Added the the to road old this arcades b a y new a terrace , conservatory the buildings of houses is them to , for be - built on the summit of the circular , arcades at the top of the gardens of Arts and , which Sciences will connect which the the Exhibition Royal Commissioners with the Albert in their Hall report vaguely suggest , may come in useful , in some way or and other enormous , but how failure they do . not International hint . Now Exhibitions all this points , if anything to a gross is to be exhibited in them , above all things want advertising , and putting the propriety of the present scheme out of the question , the Commissioners are lamentably neglecting this most important consideration . We suppose running up a few hundred yards of public buildings is " good for trade " when money is forthcoming to meet the cost , and moreover the funds in the possession of the Royal Commissioners have been so persistently dwindling away in renewed efforts to memorialize the memory of the late Prince Consort that perhaps it is as well before all the balance in hand has been disposed of in that service , that some more original use should be made of it , but beyond this we think that the Commissioners might as well build a theatre , discover method of a diamond ridding themselves mine , or adopt of their any other capital reasonabl , as invest y certain in an International Exhibition . At the best , such shows are out of dozen date , and will so scarcel what y can bear be repetition the fate of even an Exhibition at intervals which of a recurs like years the , Whitebait seasonor Ascot races .
