I Yrqut the N. Y. Tribune, June lath.) The 7'ribane announced yesterday morning lw release of the steamer Quaker City alias the Columbia, from the custody of the United States Marshal on Wednesday afternoon, and her departure immediately afterward on foreign voyage. This ves.sel, it will be remem bered, was originally seized in this port on in formation_giyen. by the Spanish authorities_ here, to the effect that she was being fitted out as a privateer for the Cuban insurgents. After being held for some days she was released, on bonds being given to the full amount of her value—s7s,ooo—that she would not engage in any warlike operations against Spain; but within a few hours after her libera tion she NV:LS again seized by the Marshal on information of the Minister of Hayti to the United States, Gen. Laroche setting forth that the vessel was about to sail for a Hayden pirt, with the intention to commit hostilities agane.t the citizens and property of Hayti, with whom the United States are at peace. Put iii other wordS,the charge was to the effect that the Quaker City, alias the Columbia,is in fendedlor, Nissa , re Saget, the principal leader of the existing rAellion in Hayti, and.the self constituted President of what is called the Republic of the North, of which the capital is St. flare. Oilier ultimate destination, and of the purposes for which she is intended, there can be no doubt. She has been fully altered in this port by' her present Owners, so as to transform her from a harmless merchant steamer . to a powerful man-ot-war, complete in every particular excepting her armament. The armament has been purchased and shipped by Other vessels to St. Marc, and is there awaiting her arrival, a part of it being a 2•2-pounder titled gun. The insurgent Haytiens have made no seeret of their having secured this vessel, altd her arrival has been. confi dently looked for at. St. Marc for the last two weeks : . (hi the release of the Quaker City last Friday afternoon, preparations were com menced for her immediate departure ; hut, owing to thepromptitude with which steps were taken fol. 'her detention by Gen. Laroche and Mr. D. A. Hawkins, the counsel for the Haytien Government, she failed to make good her escape. When the Mar shal went on • board, On Friday night, armed with authority to detain her, he found things in a forward state for starting, the rebel agents being discovered over their wine, in high glee at the prospect of getting off, and drinking success to their ship and the enter prise iu whiel.they were about to embark. Ou the Marshal announcing the object of his un expected visit, they were completely taken . aback; hint, speedily - recovering — themselves; they threatened to confine him below, and to sail in Spite of his authority, taking him along with them, unless he would accept $6,000 and quietly happen to be on the dock, oblivious of her departure. The Marshal, finding how things stood, parleyed with them until they -had- got. steam ..up;. but in the meanwhile he had secretly despatched a messenger, in _ the middle of the night, to the revenue cutter, with instructions that the steamer should be fired into if she attempted to escape. ___Asisoon as his messenger returned he notified -- these Haytien gentleinert thatthe Milted - Mar: shal's othee under the present administration was not on "the make," and that if the ,vessel attempted to move the cutter would fire into her. Their countenances fell at this Announce .. meat, and'she blew off steam. The steamer being tlins in : possession of the authorities, the Hayden Minister rested in. the belief that there Was uo present danger of her • getting away, more especially , as Mr. Hawkins had taken the precaution of making the request at the office of the United States District-At-. -4 - or/fey-that:the -Vessel- Should-onno account.be released on n houd.: . as such a course would .be in effect nullifying the neutrality laws, famed pu posely.to prevent the departure of vessels in such suspicious: eircumstanceS as surrounded the Quaker City, In spite of this request, however, the vessel, after getting up steam in anticipation of release,was, on ,Wed nesdayafternoon, without notice to'Mr. Haw kins or his client, bonded in the sum of only t 1.38,000, and within an hour after was on her way to the ocean to make war upon the Hay tien Government. She has Cleared fot Kings ton Jamaica, sailing under the British flag, Malt is expected that upon reaching that place the formality. of a transfer will be gone throuh, and that she will then, under some other flag, shoot over to St. Marc, to be em ployed against President Salnave's small "navy. The case of Frank W. Adtuns,the third mate of the Quaker City, who was charged befOre Commissioner Shields with assaulting James Langton, one of the keepers of the vessel under MarShid Bailow,. came on for examina tion. Langton, being sworn, .testified: Was sent by Maridial Barlow to take charge of the Quaker City; started yesterday to come ashore to tell the Marshal they were fsetting up steam ,on the vessel; Adams stood in theangway and stopped me, and, said I could not go ashore, as he had orders not to let any person . leave the vessel; told him I did not belong 'to the vessel, and would not be stopped by any one; he took hold of me three or four times, and tore my coat; the first mate then came up, and told Adams he had better let ine go, but said to me, "d--41 you, You won't come aboard again ;" never told him that I. was a. keeper of the vessel. Levi Feist, another ' keeper, testilledSaw -a scuffle be tween Adams and Langton; Langton tried to go ashore, and Adams detained him; told Adams that we were keepers, and he had no right to detain us on board; he said he had his oralers; he then called up the first mate, who I Langton off It was contended by counsel for the defence that Langton was simply a private watchman employed by the Marshal, and was not a United States officer, and that, therefore, the statute declaring , it to be a criminal offence be resist an officer of the United States in the discharge of his duty (lid not cover this case. Adams was held in 51,500 bail , to appear for trial. The Came of the Delphlne. BosTos, June 17. 1869.—The steamer Del phi ne, Captain McKim, arrived at this port on Sunday last from Philadelphia, ostensibly with a cargo of coal on board for this market. The steamer has since been lying at Grand Junction wharf in a very quiet manner, giving no outward sign of anything irregular in the movements aboard, and apparently the public had no cause of suspecting her business here to be other than that of a purely mercantile character, Yesterday, hove • sonic information was given to the H. Lien Charge d'Affaires, George Raester, wh Was a guest of the city, which caused him' once to make an effort to detain the steamer, on the ground that she Was designed to render aid to the rebels in Hayti; but unfortunately for the purpose no United States officials could be found to take action in regard to the matter, owing to their teinporary absence from the city. In the Meantime the steamer had escaped. She disappeared from her berth some time in the night and passed the outer marine stations at Highland Light and Cape Cod at tea o'clock this forenoon on her way to sea. She took out clearance papers yesterday for Kingston, Jamaica, all the custom-house, after business hours, and according to her manifest she is laden with provisions. The revenue officers under direction of Collector Russell, have had some, surveillance over. her for a day or two past, and nothing occurring tO warrant her de tention on their part saeWp:s tarnished yam the usual papers when going on a foreign voyage. Her sudden departure so soon after the action of the Hayten Charge d'Affaires wouldseem to give strength to the supposition that she has on board material for the rebels on the island of Hayti, who, at last accounts, were apparently gaining important advantages over Salnave, the ruler of that dis tracted island. The Delphine is a side-wheel steamer, of about 100 tons register, schooner rigged, painted lead color, and - hails from Bos ton. She had a crew of thirty men. The Del phine is a regular gunboat, and was formerly owned by the -UnitedStatgovernment. She is capable of doing goat service in any war like encounter. Her owners have taken out a ten per cent. war risk at the insurance offices. FIRE AT PITTSBURGH. Cork and Bung Factory Burned—Loss, 825,000—Insurance, $12,500. The Pittsburgh Citron/de says : Last (Wednesday) evening, at about half past eight o'clock, flames were discovered in the cork and bung manufactory of Armstrong, Brother & Co. ' No. 112 Third avenue, in the rear of the St. Charles Hotel. The fire had got under good headway ; and was burning briskly when discovered. By the time the en gines arrived the flames were bursting from the doors and . windows, and large volumes of smoke were rolling from the building. Some persons who had arrived first bad dashed in the windows of the different stories, and so had given free draught .to the flames. At first, it seemed that there wt no hope of checking the flames and feaiN were entertained for the safety of the St. Charles Hotel. The sparks fell in showers on the buildings around, and the horses c;. were priimptly led out from the livery stableoppo site, in anticipation of the stable catching fire. As soon as possible streams were set to play ing on the flames, and they were reduced al most immediately. Shortly afterwardS, however, the flames broke out afresh, and' raged worse than at first. The tire wasspeedily under control again, and but little more difficulty was expe rienced.• The engines remained, however, until midnight, and plug streams were thrown up to two o clock this morning. A very large quantity of baled cork was stored in the build ing, twilit was a work of very great diffi culty to extinguish the tire ' , that was burning in them. The building was a three-story brick struc ture originally, but recently, owing to the in creased amount of butduess a fourth story was erected, to make room for new machinery, which was placed on the second floor, and which, we are informed, cost the firm over ten thousand dollars. The establishment was one of the most extensive in the State.. The building . was badly ruined. The origin of the fire is unknown, and there seems little prospect of its being definitely ascertained. ost of the time the factory has been kept in -operation-as_lateas_ten_and eleven o'clock at night, but last evening . work was suspended as early as half-past five, in order to give the eta— ployhs rest. About an hour before the fire broke out, Mr. Standish, oue of , the firm, was through the building with a customer, and. only a short time before the discover) , of the flames, the Messrs:'.Arrnstrong, left their office; opposite the.factory, and there was no sign of tire ap parent Last - night-it- was suppesed-that the - tire originated on the first floor, froth the en gines; near which was a quantity of baled But this morning's investigation showed that that portion of the building had suffered but slightly,. even the window-frames there being scarcely scorched. The 'person who first discovered the fire says that it was in the second story. There had been no _fire used in that story for Several• days past. The indications are, therefore, that the fire was an incendiary one. The - stock of cork on hand was very large. One invoice, valued at $5,500, bad recently been received. Most of the stock was destroyed. ; At first it ITV - a.S.tlioltghttl?o ttre.:_nix. lib fiery ~sas. rgtu esl :. but an inspection by the engineer this morn ing shows the damage to it.to have been com paratively slight. , So far as can be ascertained, the lo.ss will reach 525,000, on which them is an insurance of $12,500, all in borne com panies. We are glad to learn. that the firm PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1869. expect to be able to to commence operations again in a few days. The delay is partieu larly.trying to them now, as this is the busy season. SENATOR RROWNLOW. He Declares in Favor of Universal Sof- froge. (from the Knoxville (Tenn.) Whig.] I find myself called upon, by letter and though the newspapers, to define tiny position on the suffrage question, now, being agitated throughout; the State. I have never held am equivocal position on any great public ques tion, and I never will. or have I the vanity to suppose that my opinions will influence those of any considerable number of men on this or, any other question ; and I certainly have no purpose to dictate to any of them how they shall vote at the coming election. It is from an entirely different motive that I shall state what follows. In my judgment, the existing Franchise law was an absolute necessity to prevent the State from being thrown into anarchy, and to pro tect the loyal people thereof from being sub jected to proscription, violence and murder or exile. On this account and with this view I have supported that measure. If I had the poWer 1. would disfranchise, for hfe, the active leaden; who brought on and upheld the rebel lion. These bear about the proportion to the other numbers who were drawn into4rebellion —say, as one to ten. The question arises,then, in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court, and to which I shall soon more patheu larly refer how can you discriminate to make the disability fall upon them alone? Would it be right or wise to keep a thousand men under dis abilities,ninehundra of whom do not longer re quire it, for the sake of the one hundred who do? The Republican party in Tennessee have secured the entire judiciary in the State for eight years to conic, and should the Governor recommend to the Legislature an alteration of the Constitution admitting the disfranchised to the ballot, it will require two years to ac 7Ccmplish it. The rebel population of the State Will then have been disfranchised at least six years. Shopld they then come into power by wielding' a majority of the votes, it will be hn possible for them even then, to fill the offices of the State, with rebels, to its injury, because of the Fourteenth Amendment to the 'United States Constitution. There is still another view of this subject I wish to present. The Supreme Court of Ten nessee, a Court of our own choosing, has re cently restored- to the ballot, by its late de eision, about twenty thousand rebels, among whom were some of the active leaders of the rebellion, who had been excluded theretrom by the Franchise law. We elected Grant upon the platform of uni versal suffrage, East Tennessee alone giving him about twenty-six thousand majority. In his inaugural address Grant comes out fair and square for universal suffrage; the reconstruc tion measures of Congress all proceed upon the principle of universal suffrage; the entire Republican party of the nation and the entire Republican Press of the North are out une quivocally in favor of universal safrage. 6bould the Republicans of Tennessee obsti nately stand out any longer against the great Republican party of the nation, and its entire Press, and also against the President and both Houses of Congress, they trill simply render fhonselves ridiculous in the estimation of all be sides themselves. 1t0.1411. hi' 1441,11 Ir/wk.-fl. fortigoille that in my judgment Tile saiety_ H :_oLtne mate; rue wet= fare of its people, and the protection of loyal citizens do not demand the perpetuation of exist dieubilities longer than the time when they can lie const itutionally removed. In conclusion, I have no confidence in'that organization known as the Democratic party, either North or South.• I can never act with that organization, or support any man for office who I have reason to believe will he con trolled by its partisans. Indeed, if I desired to bring the devil out of his lair, and se cure his active cooperation with me in politics, I would proclaim myself a Democrat of the rebel conservative school. The organization is choked full of hatred of the United States Government, and having the fish-like smell of "States' Rights," it is un savory to the nostrils of modern progress. There are but two parties left in this country— the diminishing party of Democracy, that brought about the rebellion, and the rapidly growing party of National Republicans, who advocate umversal suffrage, and the equal rights of all, frieSpeetive of birth-place or color. To this party I belong, and with it and my country I propose to sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish! 12, 1861/. W. G. BROWNLOIV. FROM NEW YORE,. NEW YORK, June 18.—The President and Vice President of the united States were both in New York last night. Grant arrived at 11 from Boston, and drove to the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. Cramer. Colfax ar rived at 11 A. M., by steamer from Poughkeep sie. Grant goes to Washington in a day or two. Colfax goes hence to New England.

The General Convention of the Swedenbor gians was occupied yesterday for the most part with the con.sideration of a point regarded by sonic of them as of great importance. One of the associations-has used the terms "dio cese" and "parish," as aprlied to the territorial divisions of the field of its labors, and this has been regarded as a dangerous innovation. The subject was discussed at great length 3,,es terdaY, and the debate will be continued to day. the Board of Aldermen yesterday appointed a Committee to confer with the United States Government Commissioners, relative to chang ing the site for the new Post Office from the South to the North end of the City Hall Park. A little girl named Catharine lterrigan, ten years of age, fell through the hatchway of a tobacco factory, N 0.7.5 Bowery, yesterday, and was instantly killed. She was in the habit of looking out of a• window near which the hatch was located, and on turning to go to work again she walked into the hatchway before she saw it. It now begins to look as if we surely would have a Hansom Cab Company.

Senator Sumner was at the Brevoort House yesterday, and left for Boston last evening to attend the Peace Jubilee. —St. Louis and Chicago are still waging a tierce war'of words through their newspapers.

They can pull (lowa their balloon-houses, and 'pack otf . any future unfoldment will. be .characterized by the same permanency which has marked her past. • Chicago is as pithy and unstable as one of her own huge corn-stallt, but .

The Hawaiians hare such wonderful sidll in swimming that an • account of their aquatic achievements might at once be called a regular fish story, and yet be perfectly true. Such a story is the following, and the heroine Of which I have Often seen in the island. The little sehoonerKe-o-la left Lahaina, May 9, 1840, for the Island of Hawaii, a hundred miles to the southeast of .that pert. On the afternoon of the next day (Sunday) her ballast shifted in a squall of wind, and she Suddenly capsized and sank, about ten miles from the nearest land. A few passengers were carried down with the vessel, and the rest were left floating in the water. To be shipwrecked is Usually to a Hawaiian not so much a calamity as an inconvenience; but in this case, the swimmers %Mai that a strong tidal current from the southward was sweeping them away from the land. Their only chance was to reach the island that lay upon the other side of the channel, twenty-five miles distant.. A man named 3latt-ae called the ship's company around him in the water, and ()tiered prayers for. their deliverance from' peril. Then the swim mers turned their times in the direction of the current, and held their course towards the diStant and desert island of Ka-hoo-la-wee; they could just see its blue hills upon the northern horizon. 3fau-ae and his wife Ka-lu-a had each saved from the lost 'schooner a 'covered bucket, upon.which they swain. A cloudy night now dosed over them, and the shipwrecked company, deprived of the guid ance Of the stars, became widely scattered. A Vigorous young man, floating upon the cover. of the hatchway, succeeded in making the land On "Monday morning; but his brother and many others dieti before daylight. One very slender and apparently weakly youth, unsupported by anything but his own skill in swimming, . got ashore after being about twelve hours in the water.. At sunrise, Ka-lu-a and her husband found thethselves alone in the ocean, and far from land. Heribucket came to pieces, and she swam unaided all 'Monday morning. Towards the evening the strength of 3.laute-began to fail rapidly. They stopped and rested, floating upon their backs; . she /omi-ion - tied him thoroughly, chafing his limbs until he was able to swim twain, and they held their way against the current, which bad now turned in a south erly direction, until they had the land in full view. But Alau-ae now began to lose strength more rapidly than before. Isis heroic wife then placed him upon her back, making him hold on by the hair of her head, while she, swimming upon the remaining bucket, towed him in the direction of the shore. It was not long, however, before his hands slipped and lost their power of grasping. She tannin that he must pray, but he could only utter a sentence or two. She prayed for him ; then she endeavored to revive him with the corm -loud; finally she put his arms around her neck and held them together with one hand while she swam with the other. Mau-ae was now speechless. She redoubled her exertions, but even her l almo4it incredible, Stren-" - umg - toau. She felt a ghastly chill creep through the form that she bore uponher back. She paused. She placed her ear to her husband's breast to listen for the beating of the heart. He was dead! The tide had now turned again—this time in her favor. She was within a mile of the shore, and she determined to bring the dead body to land. She carried it until she found that she must abandon it or perish. On Monday night she reached the "shore, but in a condition of such exhaustion that she was ahu st beaten down by the breakers upon the beach. The salt water had inflamed her eyes, and she could scarcely see; it was all that she could do to crawl beyond the reach of the surf and - lie down 'upon - the sand. - She - had - been thirty hours in the water, and swam more than that number of miles. She slept soundly that night;but during Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday she wandered without finding inhabitants or food, and only saved herself from starvation by drinking the rain-water that stood in the hollows of the rocks. On Friday she discovered melons growing in a sandy place,, and while eating them she was found by two fisherman, who gave her clothing and took her to the nearest house. Only three of the ship's company be sides herself were saved. In a few days she had recovered from her exhaustion, and until lately she was living to tell the wonderful story of her exploit. Hardly less surprising than this are the feats of the natives in diving. The gnat clipper ships that sail between California and China.; in the silk and tea trade, touch frequently for passengers at the roadstead or outer bay of Honolulu, anchoring in ten or fifteen fathoms of Water. 'While lying in this exposed position they sometimes part their cables under the pressure of squalls. and leave a valuable anchor upon the coral reef. When, as it occasionally happens, its buoy-line is not•strong enough to raise it again, it becomes necessary to send down a native diver with a stronger rope. Passing this around his left arm, he plunges into the water holding in his hands a stone of twenty or thirty pounds in weight. This car ries him rapidly to the bottom—he saving his strength and breath for the work of fastening the rope to the fluke of the anchor. I have known divers to do this job at the depth of over ninety feet. Water at this depth presses with a force of three atmospheres, or no less than finty-five pounds to the square inch, a pressure which amounts to the incredible figure of fifty tons upon the surface of a man of average size. Were not • this tremendous weight so equally applied to the diver's whole body, it would instantly kill him; and, indeed, he blows like a porpoise when _hereturns_to_the_,sullace, and ,the blood often streams from his mouth and nostrils. Divers seldom remain under water over two minutes at a time. A common amusement with our naval offi cers, stationed at Hawaiian ports, when silver. half and quarter dollars were plentier than now, used to be to throw these coins from the quar ter deck into the water for the native lads to dive after. These active mermen never fail to catch the silver bait before it reaches the bot tom, unless too many of them chance to bump Hieir Ilea& o'er it at once . like tiShes darting at a crumb. T. M.

(From hearth and Home.] AMUSEMENTS. The Dog Pound. Mr. Editor:—/t rejoices the heart of the merciful to find that some of our citizeiL are becoming aroused to the manner in which the dog law is enforced in the city, and that your. paper has been one of the foremost to eve publicity to the sad troth. The placing of the Pound where it now stands has reveafrd facts to those who cannot endure it quietly,— to the directors of some of our noblest institio. dons, among which it stands, as well zi.s to our refined and respectable citizens. The residents' on Brown street, in the rear of the Pound,. whose daily walk has been throughthat street" to their business orplace of worship,must now not only endure the agonizing cry ' of eluh-beaten, dying dogs. butthe insults of a class of beings necessarib - drawn round such a spot. No greater nuisance• in any way could be inflicted upon a respectable neighborhood. Those wretched dog-catchers prowl about even at sun-down, taking every welled and well cared-for dog that may chance to put his nose ..upon the sill of the door after being unmuzzled to eat his food, and to whom the owner has as mueli right as to his horse. A large New foundland dog, whose home unfortunately is near the Pound, whenever he hears the daily cry, "The dog-killer is coming!" quickly runs to the attic, lies breathless under the bed until the noise suhsides, theZcautiously, with nervous trembling, steps out and takes his place in the family circle. The writer represents hundreds in our com munity who call earnestly upon those who have the power to modify the• suffering im mediately. Hit be true that the noble Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to , Animals, will, another year, be willing-. to take the matter into their own hands who would ob ject but those who revel in destroying .animal life? Why not strike at the root of the matter, and tax heavily all who raise dogs, in place of offering a dollar a head, whichinclueessome depraved creatures in our city to raise dogs in the winter for the purpose of selling them in the-summer-to the slog-killer for less than he gets from the city? The writer of the article in the BULLETIN of the pith has the feeling of every resident in this neighborhood in unison with him, with regard to thelocality of the Pound. They all feel, as citizens, their rights infringed, and their happy hoanes in vaded. At all events, if this system is to be carried on annually, we who are interested in the public and private homes in the vicinity call upon the city authorities tohave the work of death done mercifully, and far from the abodes of men. If it can be proved that there. is necessity for this wholesale slaughter, it never can that we have a right to deprive ani mals of life, which is so dear to them ' with out pity or remorse.

Settinr , n aside the consideration of the risk, the baby weddings of the middle ages must have been very pretty sights. So the Court of France thought the bridal of Henri Beranger Eustache de Ribaumout du Ni de Meric, when, amid the festivals that accompanied the signa ture of the treaty of Chateau Cambresis, good natured MT n Henri 11. presided merrily at the union of the little pair; whose united ages did not reach ten years. There they stood under the portal of Notre Dame, the little bridegroom in a white velvet coat, with puffed sleeves, slashed with scarlet satin, as were the short puffed breeches. meeting his . long white knitted silk stockings some way above the knee; large scarlet rosettes were• hi his white shoes, a scarlet knot adorned his lit tle sword, and his velvet cap of the. same color bore a long white plume, and was encircled by a row of pearls of priceless value. They are no other than that garland of pearls which, after a night of personal. combat between the walls of Calais, Edward -111., of England,. took from his helmet and presented to Sir Eustache de Eibamnont, a knight of Picardy, bidding him say everywhere that it was a gift froin the King of England to the bravest of knights. The precious heirlooins were scarcely held with the respect due to an ornament so acquired. The manly garb for the first time assumed by his sturdy legs, and the possession of the little sword, were evidently the most interesting parts of the aflidr to the youthful husband, who seemed to find in. them his only solace for the weary length of the ceremony. Ile was a fine. handsome little fellow, fair and rosy, with bright blue eyes, and hair like-shining flax, unusually tall and strong-limbed for his age; and as he gave his hand to his little bride, and walked with her under a canopy up to kneel at the high altar, for the marriage blessing and the mass, they looked like a full-grown couple seen through a diminishing glass. The little bride was per haps a less beautiful child; she had a splendid pair of black eyes, and a sweet little mouth, both set into the uncomprehending solemnity of baby gravity and contentment in fine clothes. In accordance with the vow indicated by her name of Marie; her dress was white and blue, turquoise forget-me-nots bound in the little lace veil-on her- dark-chestnut-hairrthe-bosom of her white satin dress was sprinkled with the sauce azure jewel, and turquoises bordered every seam of the sweeping skirt with a train befitting a Count's daughter, and measured hi gorgeous constellations round the hem. The little thing lisped her, own vows forth with out„much_ notionof their..sense,, and indeed was sometimes prompted by her • brideS maid ConSiii; a - pretty,little girl' a year elder, who thrust in assistance so glibly that the king as well as others of the spectators laughed, and observed that she would get herself married to the boy,instead of her cousin. There was, however, to be no doubt nor mistake abolit Beranger and Marie de Ribaumont being mar and wife. - Every ceremony; religious or do ..nlestic,. that could render a marriage. valid, was gone through, with real earneStness, although with infinite gayety on the part of the Court.
