On Friday evening a eamplnont tapper was provided, and a large camber were preecnt to partake of the delicacies, which tha delicate hand* of the ladies bad provi. tied. As large a company, probably ..never . waa aeated at the "ComerciaT before, and e doubt whether as rich a repast was ever before spread upon that table, or detoured with a .better appetite, if we may jndee others by ourselves. The eepper tickets

were flfly cents.

In another room was a table loaded with eakea, ptet, confectionery. nnU, ice-cream ite.; and on another table wer' varices ar ticlea of seedlework, Ac. Ac., tha hJodi. work of the nimble and indostrions fingero 1

The dinner was • deliciOB* one, coasuting of every delicacy nf the season, aniTdid 'honor to the far. men of tbe Lower and Middle Townships^ throegh whoee generosity many of the culiHsiy articles wsie faraished, and the cnlinatj skill of the ladies who prepared them for tfastsbls. The Bomber who partook was food, though, owing to tkt circumitancrt, aot as lar^e as might be desired. On Monday evening. a sapper was*provided at lw«n
