THE PIRAT
By Sir Walter Scott.
CHAPTER XXXITI. (Continued )
Noticing these hostile preparations with a heedful eye, but suffering nothing like doubt or ar to appear on his countenance, Cleveland ran the boat right for the quay, ou which several people, armed with muskets, rifles, and fowling-pieces, and others with half-pikes and whaling-knives, were now assembled, as if to oppose his landing. Apparently, however, they had not positively determined what measures they were to pursue ; for, when the boat reached the quay, those immediately opposite bore back, and suffered Cleveland and his party to leap ashore without hinderance. They immediately drew up on the quay, except two, who, as their Captain had commanded, remained in the boat, which they put off to a little dis- tance ; a maneuvre which, while it placed the boat (the only one belonging to the sloop) out of danger of being seized, indicated « sort of careless confidence in Cleveland and his party. which was calculated to intimidate their op- ponents.
The Kirkwallers, however, showed the old Northern blood, put a manly face upon the matter, and stood upon the quay, with their arms shouldered, directly opposite to the rovers, and blocking up against them the street which leads to the town.
Cleveland was the first who spoke, as the
parties stood thus looking upon each other. ** How is this, gentlemen burghers?” he said ; “are you Orkney folks turned Highlandmen, that you are all under arms so early this morning ; or have you manned the quay to give me the honor of a salute, upon taking the command of my ship?”
The burghers looked on each other, and one of them :eplied to Cleveland.—‘* We do not know who you are; it was that other man,” pointing to Goffe, ‘‘ who used to come ashore as Captain.”
“That other gentleman is my mete and commands in my absence,” said Cleveland ; **but what is that to the purpose’ I wish to speak with your Lord Mayor, or whatever you call him.”
“The Provost is sitting in council with the Magistrates,” answered the spokesman.
**So much the better,” replied Cleveland. — ** Where do their Werships meet ?”
“In the Council-house,” answered the other. . **Then make way for us, gentlemen, if you please, for my people and I are going there.”
There was a whisper among the towns- copie ; but several were umesolyed upon engaging ina desperate, and perhaps an un- necessary conflict, with desperate men ; and the more determined citizens formed the hasty ‘reflection that the strangers might be more easily mastered in the house, or perhaps in the narrow streets which they had to traverse, than when they stood drawn up and prepared for the battle upon the quay. They suffered them, therefore, to proceed unmolested ; and Cleveland, moving very slowly, keeping his people close together, suffering no one to press upon the flanks of his little detachment, and
the | making four men, who constituted his rear
guard, turn round and face to the rear from time to time, rendered it, by his caution, a very dangerous task to make any atiempt upon them.
In this manner they ascended the narrow street, and reached the Council-house, where the Magistrates were actually sitting, as the citizen had informed Cleveland. Here the inhabitants began to press forward, with the purpose of mingling with the pirates, and availing themselves of the crowd in the nar- row entrance, to secure as many as they could, without allowing them room for the free use oftheir weapons. But this also had Cleveland foreseen, and, ere entering the council-room, he caused the entrance to he cleared and secured, commanding four of his men to face down the street, and as many to confront the crowd who were thrusting each other from above. The burghers recoiled from the ferocious, swarthy and sunburnt counten- ances, as well as the levelled arms, of these desperadoes, and Cleveland,. with the rest of his party, entered the council-room, where the Magistrates were sitting in council, with very little attendance. These gentlemen were thus separated effectually from the citi- zens, who looked to them for orders, and were perhaps mure completely at the mercy of Cleveland than he, with his little handful of men, could be said to be at that of the multi- tude by whom they were surrounded.
The Magistrates seemed sensible of their danger, for they looked upon each other io some confusion when Cleveland thus addressed them:—
‘** Good-morrow, gentlemen. Iam come to talk tv you about getting supplies for my ahip yonder in the roadstead—we cannot sail with- out them.”
* Your ship, sir?” said the Provost, who was a man of sense and spiri*, “‘how do we know that you are her captam ?”
** Look at me,” said Cleveland, ‘‘and you will, I think, scarce ask tae question again.”
The Magistrate looked at him, and aceord- ingly did not think proper to pursue that part of the inquiry, but proceeded te say,—‘‘And if you are her captain, whence comes she, and where is she bound for? You look too much like a man-of-war’s-man to be master of a trader, and we know that you do not belong to the British navy.”
‘“There are more men-of-war on the sea than sail under the British flag,” replied Cleveland; ‘‘ but say that 1 were commander of a free-trader here, willing to exchage to- bacco, brandy, gin and such like, for cured fish and hides, why, I do not think I deserve so very bad usage from the merchants of Kirk- wall as to deny me provisions for my money!”
** Lock you, Captain,” said the Town-clerk. ‘it is not that we are so very strait-laced neither—for, when gentlemen of your cloth come this way, it is us weel, as I tauld the Provost, just to do as the collier did when he met the devil,—and that is, to have naething to say to them, if they have nothing to say to us;—and there is the gentleman,” pointing to Goffe, ‘“‘that was captain before you,’— (‘* The cuckold speaks truth in that,” mutter- ed Goffe, )—‘* he knows well how handsomely we enterteined him, till he and his men took upon them to run through the town like helli- cat devils. I see one of them there! —that was the very fellow that stopped my servant- wench on the street, as she carried the lantern home before me, and insulted her before my face |”
“*If it please your noble Mayorship’s honor aud glory,” said Derrick, the fellow at whom

the Town-clerk pointed, ‘‘It was not I that brought-to the bit of a tender that carried the lantern in the poop - it was quite a different sort of a person.”
‘* Who was it, then, sir?” said the Provost,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Siz,—In keeping with a late editorial in your paper, perhaps the following extract may deepen the interest on the _ subject :—
“* Miss Ellice Hopkius,” says the Weekly Mail, ‘‘ made a tremendous impression by her firat lecture in the City Hall of Glasyow. The lecture, strange as it may seem from a lady, was ‘for men only.’ ; and though be a doubt many of the crowd that assembled came to criticise, and perhaps even to sneer, there is every reason to think that they went home to pray. From the first Miss Hopkins capti- vated her audience; and as she me with her statement and her pleading, the quiet dignity of her speech, the intensity of her earnestuess, the heat of ber indignation, and the irresistibieness of her appeals, fired them tc euthasiasm, and again and again they cheered her to the echo. Her. father, she said, ‘was blessed with every good thing trat wealth and posi- tion could give,’ but this great national. sin had so depiessed him that she had ‘ promised to give up home comforts and every consider- ation of womanhwod, and go forth through the length and breadth of the land’ on vhis mis- sion, She said that ‘Mr. Moody, when in England, told an audience of 5,000 px ople that it was impurity even more than intemperance that was eating out the heart of England, and that of thic she was herself more and more convinced every day she lived, and she told the young men they were to blame for it: She horvilied her audience by saying that on the streets of London there were no less than 89,000 fallen women and children,—-* a suppiy created by the demand,’ she said bitteriy. There were ‘two rocks in a man’s life,’ she said, upou which he must either find refuge or be shattered, ‘God and womrn; for the man who had lost his faith in woman had lost the power of having faith in God.’ ‘You have got,’ she cried,- ‘to form. a public opinion of right and true manili- ness. Here you have been at fault, otherwise our hands would not be full, as they are all over England, of poor ruined girls, not corrupt girls, but girls who have been betrayed. by the man they love. I pledge you in the name of Christ to cut a fellow who ean behave toa woman like that. I pledge you in Christ's name as you are men and not sneaks to kick him out of your cricket clubs. 1 pledge you to bring such a robust public opinion to bear upon him that both in England and Seotland tat com:non seoundrel may feel that he had better make himself scarce.’ ‘Be such a man to a weak woman as Jesus Christ was, and you shall find that you can elevate her to any pedestal that you may desire. The kindness and sympathy of Christ made the poor woinen to whom he spoke become the most splendid saints of the Christian Church,’ ”

A Light Wanted.
Sir,—I think it is time to bring pro- minently before the attention of the Gev- ernment, the impotrance of establishing a lighthouse on Boughton Island.
Situated as it is, north of the entrance to Georgetown and Cardigan rivers, and lying out as the furthest headland between East Point and Cape Bear, and moreover havin two dangerous reefs, one off the east anal another off the south-east, stretching for some considerable distance out into the Bay; it thus naturally demands that for greater protection to mariners, and less difficulty and apprehension to navigation, it should be guarded by a light, situated in which ever part of the Island would be deemed most suitable. It is needless to herein state all the advantages to naviga- tion of having a light erected on the afore- mentiozed place, as they are well under- stood and anxiously sought for by those engaged in the cuast traflic of this section of the Island, And again it must be appar- ent to all, that, considering the location of ‘the ‘lights already erected to guard the entrance to Georgetown and Cardigan rivers, very little judgment was shown, fespecially in the case of the Cardigan light, which is only of very smail import- ‘ance in the navigation of that river.
As a result of the tardiness of the Gov- ernment, or the inefliciency of our re- presentatives at Ottawa, in not endeavor- ing to remedy (his existing want, quite a number of accidents have, in vonsequence, occurred, and it is to be hoped that the 'auchorities will, as soon as practicable, be in a position to meet this improvement in our cuast service.

A Five Mast Scnoonrr.—William Bb. Church, of Taunton, Maas., the agent of ‘several vessels belonging to the Taunton fleet, has, on behalf of his associates, decided upon ithe building of a vessel for the coastwise ‘trade which will, inmany respects, be a de- varture from most of the modern schooners afloat. She will be a five-master. Four of _ her lower masts will be of Oregon pine made from the longest sticks ever brought to the ' Atlantic coast, being 115 feet in length. Her ‘burden will be abont 3000 tons. She will ‘be eight feet between decks, instead of six, ‘a3 i¢ the case with most of the large schooners recently built, the change being made in order to strengthen the lower part of the vessel by placing her knees as low as practicable. She will probably be built by Rogers of Boston, and the estimated cost is $17,000.
