New York, Dec. 17. . . We hear from Montreal that the
dancing assembly (for the season) begun there the 19th of
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 the 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.
