The Prince and tbe Actress. [Fruin thc Court J jurual.J The announcement of the Imperial family; of Austria of the marriage of Dake Louis of Bavaria with the beautiful Mlle. Mendel the actress, of Augsburg, has given a new aim to the theatrical ambitions of the, ladies of tho Paris boards. The visit made by the Em press Elizabeth*, to the beautiful -castle of Lake"Stahnberg, where the newly married couple. reside^Jias become the t:dk of every jrWcr, ilctRktes in Europe. They say in tho coul'mes Itere that Her Austrian Majesty was the great promo ter of the marriage, the story connected with Her brother's love and*"courtship being romantic enough to excite the strongest interest in her kind womanly heart, and making it forgetful of all distinction of rank where an equal share ol' love and delicacy had been displayed by both the lover?. Mlle. Mendel, who had preserved her reputation 'unsullied amid all the perils and temptationsof a theatrical life, is considered as the most lovely woman in Germany, her beauty being of the true German type, of the peculiar fairness beheld in no other cou ?try-golden hair in soft silky masses, without the smallest tinge of auburn-pure gold-unburnished ; a complexion delicate as the inner pe tals of the Bengal rose- -pale pink, scarcely eve:-seen in nature, and almost impossible tu produce lu* artificial means; lips of the de.-pe.it carnation : teeth small and exquisitely white, and eye brows of llii* darkest brown, with eyes of the deepest, blue. ? All this made .such an impression on the heart of Duke Louis that from the moment he li rsl be held her at the Munich Theatre, he v>?wed himself to the worship bf this .one idol. Bul Mlle. Mendel was-valiant in de fence of her reputation, and aware of the responsibility incurred by the pos session of great talent, she resisted every overt ure. even that of marriage, on the part of the Duke, well knowing that it was our of his power to con'traci any alliance of ibo kind, as much was expected of him by his family. At that time Mile. Mendel was in the habit of wearing a velvet collar with a clasp or namented by a single pearl of great value, which had been presented-to hel by the King, of Saxony, and in order to (jnell all hope of succes? in thc bosom of her royal admirer, she declared to iiini one day that she had made a vow to bestow her heart and hand on him alone-who could match this single pearl with as many others as would form the whole necklace. The declaration was made laughingly, for the fair creature knew well enough the Duke, liv ing fully up to his income, which was bm mediocre for his rank, could never accomplish this herculean task, and she lau ore merrily still when she behmd the disconsolate expression of his countenance af the announcement she had made. But soon afterward she heard that the Duke had sold his horse? and broken up his establishment-gone ?to live in the strictest retirement in a ?ma}] cottage belonging to .his brother's i-rk. '.f-?at very night, when about io place the velvet band upon her neck, sin3 toiid, to her great surprise, that a sec ond I'^arl had been added to the clasp. She kne* XKe\\ enortgh v1. (ame, iwd^mjgi.?kdU^at or labor %t sire that Duke Louis was in ^""c ar ring iv: love's sake. By ttog-ees the velvet baud became covered with pearls, all bf them as fine as the ore aestwowed by the King of Saxony, until one evening great was the rumor in Augsburg. The fair Men del had been robbed; while on the stage, divested of all ornament, in the prison scene as " Bettina von Almstedt," lier dressing-room had been entered, and the yejyefc collar, with its row of priceless pearls had disappeared from the toi let-tabie. The event WOE so ter rible, lier nerves so shaken, that in spite bf the assurance of the chief Police Magistrate, who happened io be in the theatre at thc moment, that lie was .-ut . io lind tie thief in a very short tim?, fbi.' he ha?., the clue already, poor Mlle. Lfeijtdel v.'as so overcome with grief that her ?memory failed her en tirely, so that 01. returning $ thc 'tage n A a word could she remember of iuiV j part. The audience waited for some finie in astonishment tit the silence maintained by the actress; the actress gaj*ed ?* i,1"- audience i?jriteoufeiubar yassiuenr. uiiLU. br- a sudden inspiration, u l almost mechanically iquaQt), she remembered that <\m had the rehearsal j copy ol' the play in the pucket of her apivi'i. She drew it forth without hesi ttioa, 4-?d began to read . from it with the greatest self-possession imaginable. At first the. a^?Uei.Cri knew not whether to laugh or be angry, h#i presently numery, pathos, forgetfulness of all Lui ker art had returned to Mlle. Mendel, and in tjiu utterance of one of the must impassioned sentiments of her speech ?he flung the rehearsal copy into the .orchestra, and went on. with her part^ without pause or hesitation. The ap plause of the audience was so tremen dous that one of the witnesses to the scene has told us that the great monster ?chandelier in the centre of the KOO! ?wuug to and fro with the vibration. But Of- her return to her dressing-room the excitement' proved too much, and she fainted away,. On coming back to consciousness it was to hm] Duke Louis ?it her feet, and the head Commissaire anding by her side, bidding her take ".ag<?. for the pearls had been found, ere ate they ?" exclaimed she. you sure that none tire missing ? one been stolen? linke Louis ?sped round her neck the string, ?^s, complete at la?;t. no longer' v* on to the velvct'band, but strung symmetry and fastened with a dia mond' clasp. What more cmdd bo done by the devoted lover? Ile had spared neither pains nor sacrifice to attain his find, fl11" Mlle. Mendel consented to be come hp> wife. The Empress of Aus tria appeals to have been much moved ? by the story, ai?d suggested the nomina tion of the bride elect to the title of Baroness de Wallersee,. which thus equalised tb? rank of the fiance*, and enabled them to marry without dimC'd-^ ty. They li\f<Rjhe most retired life pos sible In their little chateau on Lake ; Stahnberg, where the Duchess Louis of ' Bavaria never puts off, night or day, * the necklace of pearls, thc clasp of which she* U&s had riveted on her neck, and that in C?uis^quence of this pecu liarity she is known all through the rfountryVound by thena?ae of the Fairy Perlina, from the old German tale pf the Magic Pearl. -. jf?T Commodore Vanderbilt was mar ried yesterday morning at London, Canada, to Miss Frank Crawford, daugh ter of -Robert L. Crawford, of Mobile, Al*. j From tit?. Hiw^?>?1? SHH. .liri, Stowe's ?nsirosity. IHK BLANDEE OflTlIE DEAD. Lord Bvron, tho poet, was horn in 1788. Heclied in 1S2-I-forty-five years ago. ID 1815 ho was married to Miss Milbnnke, from whom ho separated for ever about one year after their mar riage. Sile died in 1SG0-nine years ago. Their daughter, tint! only clrild, died several year- earlier, but she left chil dren, who are still living. Forty-live years alter the death of. Loni Byron, and nine years alter the death of Lady Byron, Mrs. Stowe, an American woman, comes forward and announces that she has an important and interesting secret to disclose : that the cause of estrangement and separa tion between Lord and Lady Byron was an adulterous, incestuous intercourse between Lord Byron and his own sis ter ! This fact Mis. Stowe says was communicated to her by Lady Byron in 1S?G. . Two questions arise in the mind of the reader of this horrible announce ment : first, Is if true? and second. Cai bono ?-for what; good end is it made ? There seems to br no good and sniii cient reason for believing Lhe stat emeu t -.I Mrs. Stowe to bc true. \vV will cred it her assertion that Lady Byron made it to her. According to A*r. own ac count, Lady Byron was very ill at the lime-so ill that she was expected to .lie soon. If she was so ill. she proba blyxwas talcing medicines. Was she or was she in?t under tye influence of opi um, or of some anodyne that affected her reason ? Or it may be that under the effects ol'disease alone her mind had given way. She had suffered great mental anguish about her separation from lier husband, and it is not improb able (hat she .was insane'on 1 his- subj eel., even if sam- on all others. By what evidence was the foul charge of Lady Byron supported ? So taras we can judge by Mrs. Stowe's article, not by one tittle. And tin; public arc asked U> believe this terrible accusation on th s merest hearsay testimony, which in a court nf justice would be inadmis sible to prove that an accused person liad stolen a penny ! lt is not Loni Byron alone whose re putation is affected by this dreadful story. The fair fame of his sister-fair, we believe, until now-and who has been permitted long to rest peacefully, in her grave-that, too, is to be blight ed and blasted for ever hereafter, by the stain of an unnatural crime. It is horrible that a woman of Mrs. Stowe's standing should bring forward this most repulsive charge against those whose lips, being sealed in death, can never answer it, however innocent they may have been. And the strong pre sumption, from the laws of human na ture-so, strong as to be overcome on ly by the most irrefragable evidence is. that they were entirely innocent. It is altogether probable that even if Lady Byron was sane, and if she sus pected this incredible crime, the suspi cion was the offspring of a jealous and morbid disposition. Whatever people may have thought of Lady Byron here tofore, no one hereafter eau binnie a hus band for l?aying a wife who hated him bitterly unougb to invent this story about him after he had been de;id a third of a century. It seems, however, according to Mrs. Stowe, that the sepa ration was entirely the work of Lord Byron, and that, his divine and lovely wife wasvery '. anxious to continue to live with her adulterous and incestu ous husband. To one who asked her how she could love him. she replied, " My dear, there was the angel in him;" A pretty place, we should think', ac cording to her own story, for an angel to dwell ! Then, too. Lady Byron al ways expressed the most undoubting confidence, after his death, that this same adultero.;.-; find incestuous fiend had gone straight to heaven I Lord-Byron's sister, we are told, in her last sickness and dying hours, look ed to Lady Byron for consolation and help. The woman who, under these circumstances, could deliberately fasten this vile blot on her memory many years after her death, must have been, if i.;-ne a moral monster. Whose iiai?ji J^rs Stowe has benefit ed we are unable top?i'ceivo. Cotiajn I v not Lady Byron's: for she lind lier admirers before, and can have few left now. Not the names of ilie innocent grand children, who must suffer cruel torture from this scandal. Not her own, which was lau- before, but will hereaf ter bc associated witli one of thc raosl ??t-rageons and vilest of ali thc prim.-nt stories ever invented. Tin: BYRON SCANDAL.-The CourUr fournalkm the following: LON nos, /iU.uusr ?LS-Tho Thncs, in mi editorial to-day, in which the sepa ration of Lord Byron and his wife is detailed, asserts that Mrs. Stowe's nar rativo is entirely without foundation and a bas? ?"lauder. The press-of ?ie cC?intry universally condemn Mrs. Stowe, and sue panels this day ot* all virtuous women the most unenviably notorio^. AUNT HARRIET.-The Norfolk T7>' (/tan cal ls Mrs. Stowe a "Literary Body Snatcher."- She is likewise a troolv loil woman. What an amalgam ! .?*-r ?..-?.-. . - How MEN CAME TO HA Y E BEARDS. Von Helmont tells us that Adam was created without a beard, but that uftor he had fallen and sinned, because of the sinful propensities which he derived from the fruit of the forbidden tree a beard was made part of his punishment and disgrace, bringing him thus into nearer resemblance with the beasts to ward \yhom he made his nature approx imate. The'-same stigma was not in flicted upon Eve,'because even in her fall slje retained much of her original modesty, and therefore deserved nosuch opprobrious mark Von Helmont ob serves, also, that no good angel appear? with a beard": and this, he says, is acap ital sign by which angels may be dis tinguished.
