THE PIRATE.

CHAPTER XXXII. (Continued }

The Captain of whom he last spoke gave sufficient proof of the truth of his words, by uttering an inarticulate growl, and attemping to present a pistol at the wnediator Hawkins.

“Why, look ye now!” said Derrick, “* there is all the sense he has to get drunk on council day, like one of these poor silly fellows {"

** Ay,” said Bunce,‘‘ drunk as Davy’s sow, in the faee of the field, the fray, and the senate |”

‘‘ But nevertheless,” continued Derrick, “* it will never do to have two captains in the same day. I think week about might suit better—and let Cleveland take the first turn.” ‘* There are as good here as many of them,” said Hawkius; ‘‘ howsomdever, | object nothing to Captain Cleveland, and I think he may help us into deep water as well us an. other.”

** Ay -exclaimed Bunze, ‘‘ and a_ better a figure he will make at bringing these Kirkwallers to order than his sober prede- cessors !—So Captain Cleveland for ever !” “Stop, gentlemen,” said Cleveland, who had hitherto been silent; ‘‘ I hope you will not choose me Captain without my own consent [”

** Ay, by the blue vault of heaven will we,” said Bunce, ‘‘ if it be pro bono publico !”

** But here me, at least,” said Cleveland— ** IT do consent to take command of the vessel, since you wish it, and besause I see you will ill got out of the serape without me.”’

‘““Why, then, I say, Cleveland for ever again shouted Bunce.

** Be quiet, prithee, dear Bunce !—honest Altamond !” said Cleveland.—‘‘ I undertake tle business on this condition; that when I have got the ship clear for her voyage, with provisions, and so forth, you will be content to restore Captain Goffe to the command, a8 I said before, and put me, ashore some where to shift for myself—You will then be sure it is impossible I can betray you, since I will remain with you to the last moment.”

“‘ Ay, and aiter the last moment, too, by the blue vault! or I mistake the matter,” muttered Bunce to himself,

The. matter was now put to the vote; and so confident were the crew in Cleveland's su- perior address and management, that the tem- porary deposition of Gotfe found little resist- ance even among his own partisans, who reasonably enough observed, ‘‘He might at least have kept sober to look after his own business—-K’en let him put it to rights again himself next morning, if be will.”

but when the next morning came,

the

drunken of. ew, being intormed of UEEN STREET, next -door--to! en part of theo g intorm

he issue of the deliberations of the council, to whica they were virtually held to have assent- ed, shewed such a superior sense of Cleveland's merits, that Goffe, sulky and malcontent as he was, judged it wisest for the present to sup- press his feelings of resentment until a safer opportunity for suffering them to explode, and to submit to the degradation which sv frequently took place among a piratical crew. Cleveland, on his part, resolved to take upon him, with spiiit and without loss of time, the task of extricating h’s ship’s compeny from their perilous situation. For this purpose, he ordered the boat, with the purpose of goin ashore in person, carrying with him twelve o the stoutest and best men of the ship’s com- pany, all very handsomely appointed (for the success of their nefarious profession had en- abled the pirates to assume nearly as gay dresses as their officers,) and, above all, each man being sufficiently armed with cutlass and pistols, and several having pole-axes and poniards.

Cleveland himaelt was gallantly attired in a blue coat, lined with crims:n silk, and laced with gold very arichly, crimson damask waist- eoat anc. breeches, a velvet cap, richly em- broidered, with a white feather, wish silk stockings, and red-heeled shoes, which were the extremity of finery among the gallants of the day. He had a gold chain several times folded reunded his neck, which sustained a whistle of the same metal, the ensign of his authority. Above all, he wore a decoration peculiar to those daring depredators, who, be- aides one, or perhaps two, brace of pistols at their belt, had usually two additional brace, of the finest mounting and workmanship, sus- pended over their shoulders in a sort of sling or scarf of crimson ribbon. The hilt and mounting of the Captain’s sword corresponded in value to the rest of his appointments, and his natura] good mien was so well adapted to the whole equipment, that, when he ap- peared on deck, he was received with a gen- eral shout by the crew, who, as in other popular .societies, judged a great deal by the eye.

Cleveland took with him in the boat, amongst others, his predecessor in office, Goffe, who was also very richly dressed, but who, not having the advantage of such an ex- terior as Cleveland's, looked like a boorish clown in the dress of a courtier, or rather like a vulgar-faced footpad decked in the spoils of some one whom he has murdered, and whose claim to the property of his garments is ren- dered doubtful inthe eyes of all who look upon him, by the mixtare of awkwardness, remorse, cruelty, and insolence, which clouds his countenance. Cleveland probably chose to tike Goffe ashore with him, to prevent his

aving any opportnnity, during his absence, to debauch the crew from their allegiance. In this guise they left the ship, and, singing to their oars, while the water foamed higher at m chorus, soon reached the quay of Kirk- wall.

The command of the vessel was in the meantime entrusted to Bunce, upon whose allegiance Cleveland knew that he might per- fectly depend, and, in a private conversation with him of seine length, he gave him direc- tions how to act in such emergencies as might occur.

These arrangements being made, and Bunce having been repeatedly charged to stand upon his a alike against the »dherents of Goffe and any attempt fram the shore, the boat put off. As she approached the harbor, Cleveland | displayed a white flag, and could observe that

their appearance seemed to occasion a good ‘deal éf bustle and alarm. People were seen cunning to and fro, and sume of them ap- peared to be getting under arms, The bat- ‘tery was manned hastily, andthe English ‘colours displayed. ‘These were alarming symptoms, the rather that Cleveland knew, that, though there were no artillerymen in Kirkwall, yet there were many sailors per- fectly competent to the management of great guns, and willing enough to undertake such service in case of need.

(To be continued.)

Jubilee-Tide in Rome.

(From the correspondence of Mr. Weld to the London 'ablet.)

The English deput:ticn to the Holy Father was received in audience on the 10th, and, as far as I can learn, everybody seems to have been pleased with everything that happened.

The HUoly Father entered the throne room with customary punctuality. He was accompanied by Mgr. Stovor, (who stoud at his right hand during the whole of the audience) and Mgr. Della Volpe, the Maes- tro di Camera of His Holiness. Hardly had he taken his seat, when he stretched out his arms and exclaimed, with counten- ance radiant with benignity, *‘ Welcome to the Bishops and faithful of England!” He continued in words vi the greatest kind- nessand animation, with expressions of irter- est in the affairs of the Church in England. After a conversation wih the Bishop of Clifton on the subject of educavion for the children of the poor, the Pope alluded once more, with expressions of consvlation, to the recent interchange of courtesies be- tween himself and Her Majesty, and re- ferred, with a smile a of most kindly recol- lection, to his having met the Queen in her girlhood during his nunciature at Brussels. His Hvliness received first the Duke of Norfolk, aiter him the Bishop of Cliiton, who presented the address vf the Catholics of England, then the other Bishops in the order_of seniority. As the Bishop of South. wark kissed his hand, somebody said that he was the pastor of the Duke et Norfolk; and the Pope, thereupon, turned pleyfully tuwards the Duke and asked the Bishop if that important ‘ divcesan’ behaved himself.

Lerd Denbigh was next presented, and after him Lord Petre, in whom tie Holy Father seemed fuliy to recognize the head of a house which is only next in importance to that of Howard in English Catholic annals,

Meanwhile the great body of the deputa- tions were waiting patiently in the galleries without. It was » curious sight to see so many Englishmen wearing evening dress—- and not Jooking very comfortable in it—iu the daylight; and hardly less curious, and much movre interesting to see the ladies in their ample black veils. I was interested, too, in observing the really astonishing amount of individuality which could find expression in what one would say was such avery simple thing as the putting on ota veil. Certainly a woman's taste, where it ekisis, issomething irréptessible, and will show itself in any urifie. Most of the veils were Spanish lace, but 1 noticed Brussels in oue or two cases,

With happy chatter, which perhaps ouce or twice in the course of the morning may have risen tv the dignity of conversation, the hours whiled pleasautly aaway until it came to each one’s turn to be admitted to the throne room.

Immediately on either side of the Holy Father were Myr. Sivnorand the Bishop of Clifton, while about twelve other Bishops were standing round the throne. After the Bishops, the first person to be presented was the aged puetess, Mrs. Mary Howitt, who ina few months wil) enter upon her ninetieth year. Mrs. Howitt, whose writings were once the delight of so many English and American homes, wag converted to Catholicism seven years ago when she was eighty two. The meeting be- tween this old lady, still erect beneath her burden of years, and the Sovereign Pontiff, bowed beneath burdens of other kinds, was a most touching spectacle. I was not near enough toe hear what passed, but when the Holy Father blessed her in farewell, he said gently, ** We shall meet in Paradise.” The uke of Norfolk then stepped fer- ward, and offering Mrs. Howitt his arm, led her out of the room. The demeanor of the pilgrims, as they knelt before Pope Leo was of course very various. Some bent in reverent stillness and just listened in silence to the words addressed to them. Others were eager in begging special blessings and favors for themselves, their families and absent friends. One lady was so voluble and emphatic that she gave one the impres- sion that she was giving the Pope some good advice. On the other hand, the Holy Father to some spoke much, and to others little ; buta few words to nearly every one. : . ‘ Lord and Lady Denbiyh and Mr. and Mrs. Cary-Kiwes and their tamilies came forward in a group, and as they kneit round the throne, Pope Leo at once said; ** But which are lo spose ¢”’ Mr. Gervase Cary-flwes and Lx dy Wini- fride Feilding the: came forward* and the Holy Father joined their hands together, and after speaking a few words of kindness, gave them each a special benediction, rest- ing his hands on their heads as he spoke. When Lady Ottagan’s youngest boy, a pretty child of five years, was led forward, the Pope tuck him on his knee and caressed him repeatedly, and finally asked him whether he would like to stay. The child looked at the Holy Father a moment and then made what was probably a safe reply : **If mother wishes it.”

In the Italian Pilgrimage ail ranks and social classes were represented, and among the many iuteresting episodes related, is that of a peasant woman of Avellisso, who kneit before the Pope holding a common cornet of paper, such as is used by grocers, which the Holy Father, supposing to con- tain medals, etc., raised his hand to bless ; but the good woman pressed the corner into his hand, saying, in a confidential tone: ** Take it, dear Pope (Papa Mio), it is filled with confetti (candies). 1 brought them purposely for you.” The Holy Father siniled, evidently moved, and handing the cornet to an ecclesiastic of his Cuurt, said : ** See that it be placed in my room ; I prize it highly,” and added, glancing at a valu- able jewel blazing with d‘amonds, the offer- ing of a lady of rank, immediately preced- ing the peasant woman, “‘ Probably this gift is more radiant than the diamonds.”

* Mr. Gervase Cary-Elwes and Lady Wiui- fride Feilding were recently betrothed,
