Mir Letter ortho Byron Solicitors,
TO THE EDITOR OK TUE LONDON TIMES.
Sir-As thc solicitors oftbo descendantsand
rcprosontativeB of tho lato Lndy Nool Byron,
for whose Umily wo have acted for upwards ot
half a contury, wo roquost your permission to
publish in tho eolumua of tb> Tunes the lol.
lowing observations rolativo to an articlo
which bu? just appeared in Macmillan's Maga
ziuo.
Tho articlo in question m onlitlud "Thc Tiuo
Siory. of Lady Byron's Lifo," and Mrs. H. li.
stowe ia annouucod to bo tho wt ?tor of it.
Of Ibo paper itself wo should probably havo
abstained from tainui: nay public notico tr it
bad appeared in a loss rospoctablo journal than
Macmillan, or il ovuu iu thia periodical tbo au?
thoress bad hoon allowed to toll hor Btory with?
out editorial profaco or comment. Tho edit or
of Macmillan, however, has uot only admitted
Mrs. Stowe's arliclo, bul ho bas prefixed to il a
noto in wli'ch ho authoritatively proclaims lo
tho world that "tho papor on Lady Byron's
lifo and relations to Lord Byron ?B tho com?
pleto and authentic statement of tho whole
circumstances of that disastrous alTiir." Nay,
mot e, "that this paper ia, iu rael, Lady Byron's
own statement of (bc reasons which forced her
to tho soptra'iou which alto so long resisted."
Airain, tho editor alatoa that tho contribution
ol Mrs. ?lowe Biipplios "oviJonco at once now
and direct" on Lady- Byrou'a history.
We, as the family sohoilora. hep; most dis
tiuclly lo st ate that tho artiolo is not a "com?
plete'' or "authcnlivc Btalomont" of thc facia
connected with tho separation, that it cannot
bo regarded aa Lady Byron's own statement,
and that it docs not involve any dirccl evi?
dence ou Lady Byron's history.
Instead ot direct evidence, Mrs. Stowo has
nothing to coinmuuicato but lier recollection
of a convers?t iou lint-toen yeats ago, anti lier
impressions of a manuscript whiob Bho stales
thut Lady Byron at that time gave lier to pe?
ruse, and which, according lo hor own show?
ing, sho road uudor very great excitement.
Xbc30 cti'cuin8tancss probably account for sev?
eral obvious errors iulo which Mrs. Stowe lias
fallen, such as assigning two years instead ol
thirteen months as tho period during which
Lidy Byrou resided under Hie same roof with
hor liusbaud, aud similar inaccuracies, to
which, for the pioscnt purpose, it is unnccoa
sat v io allude.
Without for a mnincnt conceding that Mrs.
Stowe's narrative contains a completo account
ol'Lady Byron's relations willi her liusbaud.
wo must protest against il as beim; professed?
ly-first, a must gross In . neb of tho trust and
eonfidODOQ stated lo have been veposcd in lier;
second, as Inconsistent with her own recom?
mendation lo Lad'.' Byron; sud, third, asad
ignorant violation (at least wc shall, in chari?
ty, suppose Mrs. Stowe lo be iguoianl) nf tbo
exprc-s lei ms of Lidy Byron's la?t will mid
testament.
Fu ,I, as relates to a breach of trust, Mrs.
Stowo states thai she was consulted in un in?
terview win -h. to uso Uer own words, "liad
..timi st ibo solemnity ol a doathbod," not as lo
whether BIIO would undertake a rednctiou of
Lady Byron's married history; but only as io
the policy of publishing an iii a history at all;
secondly, Mrs. Stowe, on lier own admission,
returned to Lady Byron tho brio! memoran?
dum paper whicli had been intrusted lo ber.
with the statement ot her opinion that "Lady
Byron would bu entirely justifiable in
leaving (he truth lo be disclosed niter
her (loath, and recommended that ali
facts necessary should bo put iu thc
hands of some persons to bo so published;"
thirdly, Lady Byrou did, by Uer lust will oed
testament, executed a fow days only beforo her
deer.iso, bequeath to three porsona SB trustees
all her manuscripts, io bs by them first sealed
up, af tm v,-,ird depositod in a bank iu the name
of auch truotcos, and _HIIH ilirpr-toJ ?l??J un ?"?
else, however nearly connected with her.
should, upon any pica whatsoever, bo allowed
to inspect Buch documents, which tho trustees
were alone to mako usc of au they might judge
to be best for the interests of ber grandchil?
dren. Mrs.'Stowe is not ono of tl irs ii three.
Her paper is entirelj gratuitous and unauthor?
ized. It is, as wo havo said, not consistent
with her own counsel; kt ia au offence against
Lady Byron's dying wishes, and Ute authoress
bas writton in utter disregard of thc feelings
of i hoso giandcbiidron of whom sho spunks in
a vague, fulsome way, as "some of tho host and
.oiliest of mankind.'.'
il\e appearance of the volumes about Lord
Byron by the Countess Quicoioli is alleged by
Mrs. S to*,) BB the main reason whiob induced
ber to pnbl'ti, ber storr; but if Lady Byron's
deecendanta, ber peraoiml and trusted friouds
iu this country, BaflVr tho slanders of tho
Countess Guiecioli to pass uncoutradicted
for, to use Hrs. Stowe's own expression, of
what value a :a Ibo outcry of "ibo mistress"
against thu wife?- their silence should cor
tlinly have lea Mrs. Stowe to hesitate bet?rt
giving to tho world a statement wbicb, how?
ever it may affect the mernoiios of tbe dead,
"?ist inevitably inflict much paiu on thc
ll?lMj,
"Lady Bj rou's own statement" is in tho pos?
session ?f (bose who lovo hor memory too well
to make, brjah uso of it, and if tho world is
ever to learn ibo true alory of Lady Byro?'a
life, it will learn u from them.
It wjuld havo bb-,n |n better toete if Mrs.
Stowe and the editor 01 Macmillan's Magazine
had imitated the "rohgiOL. eilence" which the
latter so much commends in the case of Lady
Byron. Meanwhile, Lady By/onY dcBcond

"On Mondiy evening last, an altercation oc?
curred between Henry C. Alloy and Monroe'
Burnett, of this place, whiob resulted in tho
shooting of tbe loiter by the former in tho

Bhakesperian character who is said to have lost

originated tho difficulty. Alley woe at once
arrested and required to answer at the next
Court of dent ntl Sessions in a bond of $1000.
"It is with feelings of tho deepest ret/ret

wo remember to have disgraced tho annals of
our peaceable and quiet town. Last night
about 10 o'clock, two fiends in human form,
fatally bent ou doing tho work of their master,
thc devil, with loadod guns, slipped up closo

Tho Spartan says: "Ibo eleotion for inten?

of tho late council, resulted in tbo election nf
Colonel John H. Evins, intent!, nt, and J. W.

handsome majority of fitiy-two votes. The
whole town certainly bas cause to congratu?

eineo" or -'no license'' waa (airly made, and
tho people have decided, by a strong majority,
that whiskey drinking ia an evil that ihould

a most wanton aud unprovoked attack upon

IFrcm the Temple Bar.]
Tbo man who thinks about marrying neces?
sarily becomes a student of chi: racier, and
spends a good proportion ol his timo iu that
amiable pursuit. It may happen that bo is
quito . unaccustomed to guess at a woman's
disposition (rom bor manner, and speech, and
conduct; and ibo chances aro that be gets con
sideraOly bewildered. If the girl or woman in
whom ne is interested is at all comploxin
character or variable in humor-and sbo is a
miracle of a woman if she is not-lie will form
a dozen different estimates of ber nature in as
many weeks; and at last confess that , if ho
does marry ber, ho must marry bor on trust.
Just at this particular period a brother comes
in handy. Blinded by the power of feminine
oyes, or fascinated by that idoai appearance
wbicb every woman "on her trial"knows how
to atsame, tbe doubting lover tunis to bis
sweet bean's male relatives, aud lhere studies
I the family character in tho rough. Hero, in
? quiet gray light ho may poroeivo all thoso
traits of mind and habit wbiob aro either ob?
scured or made attraotivo by tho lambent
witchery of his mistress' presence. Not only
have mon lees power of self-concealment than
women, but they have, further, no object lu
assuming an ideal character in order topleaso
tbeir sisters' suitors. Of conreo, it cannot be
hold absolutely certain that the dispositions of |
brother aud eiBter will bo in any degree abke.
Tho contemplativo lover must chooao ont
tho bro:her ?hat ie physically moat like
Hue particular sister-must cult?valo bis
acquaintance and entrap bim into self
revelation. If this brother be young, especial?
ly, (be manner in which bo will illustrate

Willi ingenuous garrulity he will lot you into
family secrete; and may give very different
.versions of Stories wbicb looked charming,
or only comic*!, wbon they fell trom tho lips
of his mere aetote elster. It may bo Bald tbat

bis siBter exhibits, tho lover feels nssnrodot
the wisdom of bis choice, Ho RO;B forward to
tho inevitable goal with courage and hope.
The period of hesitation is over, and rivals arc
bidden to beware.
On tho other hand, tho brother may unfit?
tingly toll tales of Ibo most disastrous kiid.
One ol' tho chief tests of a character is it a re?
nard for truth; and veracity is so much a oat
tor of habit-so much dopendant on Ibo edu?
cation-that all tho mombors of a family ure
likely ta have notions on tho subject mort or
?less similar. Of ooaree, wc do not moan ibat
intentional lying is likely to accrue from a
cort tin kind of bringing up, bowovcr m mb it
may holp towards it; bu*, that a habit of tutor?
ing* inaccurate st ate munta -whet bur tbrourh a
tranaient wish ol making mailors look.pleas?
ant to ono's companion, or whether through
a certain intellectual lamination tor dramatic
Eoin ts, which misplaces what is fur what might
c-is ono of tho commonest of human fail?
ings. The brother will BIIOW you whether that
tendency bas been largely developed iii tile
family. Ho has not tho skill to be consis?
tent in hm innocent misrepresentations. To
please you, perhaps, he will proress au ardent
admiration for some mutual acquaintance, and
say how niaoli that acquaintance is odmtrcd
mid liked by his (Un- brother's) family; and
then, ucxt day, having forgolton all about tbe
matter, ho will call tho acquaiutauco atiresomo
old fool, whom his sisters detest. Another re?
lated point on which bo will yield much impor?
tant inhumation to tho anxious lover is tho
extent to which tho family bas.been brought

which arc calculated to strike you with utro
and wonder. lu ma nv similar directions, the

which you may obtain from bis direct asscr

lint tho grand point, ia which he is au al?
most infallible guide, is temper. We kaow

those who nie long past tho ago ?it which con?
jugal results could iring upob Ibo pnr-uit -
than thc'noting of ibo strange resemblances
and differences between tho family ll imposition

regarding, theintcrosMs indefinitelyfjcreasod,
There :s not a fit of quoiel-oaa 'vy^ardue.-s ,
in tho brother that doo? not begot :t qualm in
tho heart of the sister's suitor, and there is
nothing winch rejoices the latter SO muchas 1
to observo a courageously considerate attitudo
in thc temper and dieposttion ot tho bay or
mau. Ia tho coso of tho brother there aro no
petty foroinino disguises lo conceal Ibo I ruc
a tato of affairs, and tho lover rapidly forms an
intimacy which ia fall of surprises lo bim.
Anxiously docs be inquire whether this Iiis
possiblo brother-in-law is always governed hy?
the absolute indecision of judgment and way?
ward temper which be eotnolimes exhibits. Ile
lookR with dismay upon tho brother's poeviah
irritability, and is BO shocked by bia intractable
and obstinate folly as scarcely lo bo ablo to re
monsirato. Perhaps there aro two or three
brothers, all gifted with tho irascible and child?
ish temperament; and, perhaps, both father
and mother aro dangerous subjects lo -deal,
with, when the soup ia cold or tho dressmaker
dilatory.
With all these indications, it is possiblo that
his faith in his own swoet friend should not
bo troubled. How, ho asks him-elf, could such
a porfeot flower have sprang ap in this hot?
house of angry passions? Angela do not con?
sort with devais; and in auch a pandemonium
tbo appearance of au incongruous visitor pro?
vokes suspicion. This >cunar brother, for ex?
ample is tho incarnation of bad temper, and
even seems conscious of il. He COD fesses to
baviug got into a rage abonl nothing, ana
having kept himself and his lamily on tenter?
hooks during dinner simply through a tit of
Bulkiucss. If bs gets n bad band at whist,
ho flings down tho cards iu a pssstoo, and
coes off to his own room; if ho misses a
favorito stroke at billiards, bo dashes bis cuo
on tho tablo, outs the cloth, aud sits down,
moroso and red-faced. He makes no effort
.to control himself; and in theso child?
ish moods beware that you do not speak to
him of that sister in whom you aro i nt crest .-d.
He will tell the truth about her, or, rather, ho
will toll wh it bia ungovernable passion, vent?
ing itaolf upon evo ry object cf lita contempla
lion, would li ave you to consider Hie truth.
It is a small matter what tho boy nays; bul it
ie a grave mat .a- that suo'.i nngovornablo tem
p -ra should bo in a family. Insanity, scrofula,
dipsomania aro not tho only hereditary ail?
ments which tbe man who would marry has to
guard n ciinst. Besides ibo disease of an in?
flammable temper, ibero ia that ot i neon stu ney
of the affections, which is aa o'tea as not a
purdy physical defect. There aro persons whoso
affections aro inherently devoid cf permanence;
to expect them to remain conatant through
any period of absence or trial is to cxpoot a
blina man to soe. They are gifted or cursed
with a facile and transitory nature, whioh natu?
rally clings to tho object nosiest it, and yet
does not ding pertinaciously. Half a doz JU
words, ? single look, a railway journey, an in
trodaotion-any ono of tho .ordinary incidents
of lifo-may transfer tho unsubstantial and
treacherous regard of snob persona to other
objecta. Mor can wo blamo thom. They ore
not necessarily voluntary agents. Their radi?
cal weakness cansos them to shift their uncer?
tain love; and it would only bo nsoloss hypocri?
sy, possibly attonded wilh direful results, for
them to pretend that it hal not shifted. To
assume tho virtue of constancy is a crime,
vt bile to bo honestly inconsistent is to acoopt
one's misfortune. .
Herc, also, tho brother is invaluable Tho
lover watches bim closely to peicoivo wbothor
ho shows aympioms of that perpetual indeci?
sion of tho affections which hos produced so
many tragedies in domoatio life, ile regards
this young manV nutations with his sister's
friends witb a peculiar interest. Tho lover al?
most feels that his own fato is dependant on
tho amount ol honesty and conatancy wjitcli
this youth ovinoOB; and reads in tho actions
and sen nnenta of tho bay tho horoscope of
his own futuro. All this takes place when tho
lover is as yet undecided, and tho study is tho
most engaging aud f.tsoluating that bo can
lind. Whether it ovor poaaosaos any practical
result s is quito anolhor matter, beoanse, aa a
rul?, mon wbo find their sweetheart's younger
brothers jnter'isticg comnanions, have gone
too far to draw bock, whatovor warning they
may receive.

Strange Incongruities and Absurdities.
Just before tho adjournment ot tho recent scs
sion of the British Houso of Commons- which
was a Tory much overworked body, according
to all accouute-a number of important sub?
jects wcro postponed; among them that of tho
marriago laws introduced by Sir Hound ol 1 l's 1
mor. An intelligent writor to tho Now York
Times makos tho follow in;; not.ico of this
matter :
Tbe principle of religious equality, now prac?
tically recognized for tho first timo throe cen?
turies after the Boformatlon, seems to require
Homo sort of o quality, and, if poasiblo, unifor?
mity, iii tbe laws relating to marriage. Tho
lnv.d, aB thoy now oxist. Sir Roundel 1 may well
call extraordinary. In Luglaud pcoplo aro mar?
ried by baas, or dispoused from them by
liconso. Ia church marriages no registrar is
required to boprosonl: amone non-conformists
bis altondnoco is requisite. Tho Quakers have
a soparato law all to themselves. If tbe place
whore tho marriago is celebrated bas not boca
Sroporly consecrated, tho marriage is invalid,
t eau only bo performed within certain hoars
-never later than ll A. M. In Scotland there
is marriago by simple consent ot tho parties:
marriages according to tbroo or lour tli?brenl
laws, and irregular marriages, which rnako
pcoplo liable to aline; but tho Daymont or tho
fino logalizca tbo marriago, and this ia a com?
mon modo of procedure. In Ireland thoi o is
ooo law for Protestant churchmen, another for
Presbyterians, and no law at all for Catholics,
except a law of pains and pen.ilities iu certain
cases. If a Roman Catholic priest should pre?
sumo to celebrate it ninrriago bctweeu a Roman
Catholic and Protestant, or oren between a Ho?
rnau Catholic aud a porsou who had been a
Protestant within a yi;ar of tho marriage, till
comptratively a recent time, that was a capital
offence, and even now it is a criminal offenen of ]
a very hieb ordor, and tho marriago. is abso?
lutely void. Ut tbo irregular Scottish mar?
riages, Sir Round jil has tho horror that might
bo expected in an English lawyer and church?
man, and bis description of thom ls technical
and droll, lio says :
Thc ss Hiern of irregular marriages in Scot?
land is a very startling thing to those whoso
minds aro not thoroughly accustomed toit.
It is contracted in two different ways.' Sup?
pose any gentleman in this house visited a
house in Scotland where a young lady liapncun
to bo staying, and that ho aud tho young lady
look ? walk together, and in (ho course of tho
walk bo took a pieco of paper outof his pocket,
on which they wroto down a mutual promiso lo
marry; though thc piece of paper might be
simply put back again into his ptckot; though
nothing might bo said to anybody about tho
writing; and though nobody elsa might bo
there at tho time, ir tho pcreons afterwards
lived in a certain way ingot I.cr, that would he
a valid marriage, 'although nobody might
know of tho fact of tho tuarriasre for yearn
alt IT wards. No tuero ju omise will constitute a
marriago unless it bo in writing, and unless
subs?quente copiUa. A proiuiso so given and
su fallowed constituios a good marriage, how?
ever long it may be kept Beeret. TUcro is
another oren moro extraordinary mode, in
which no writing nt all is necessary; and that
is where tho promise is mode not' 'fe futuro,
but de present? -wltftro tho woman atys *I take
voil, John, for my hushand,' mid wbiro tho
man pays, T take you, Mary, for my wifo,' be?
fore vit nosies. A promiso of thal kind hoing
brought up at any futuro per io!, oven although
tho people have tiovor lived together, will hold
good, and will bo sufficient to overturn any
perfectly honorable and toputablo marriage
