We hear from Montreal, the dancing assembly (for the season)
begun there the 19th November last, at which there were 46
ladies, who made a most splendid and elegant appearance.--
The ladies in that district have great merit for the harmony
which constantly subsists among them; and notwithstanding
they are extremely tenacious in support of their rank,
nevertheless their applaudable good sense, politeness, and
desire to promote innocent amusements is such, that they
wave every ceremonious punctilio of who shall dance first at
the assembly, judiciously considering if such insignificant
disputes once took place, it would entirely destroy the
pleasure of meeting each other with that cordial friendship
they heartily wish for on such occasions.
