From every window there gushed forth a brilliant Hood of light, turning the night into a second day., The coo 11 ':-yard, too, was brilliantly illuminated, while throngs of servants and retainers passed in. aud out of the palaco, intent upon a hundred diffevv ent, errands. Within the palace all was a scene of mirth and revelry; groups of gaily-dressed guests wandt ring whither and thi! her, gazing upon. , the various beauties of the different apartments.
