"The Coming of Arth nr.' In tho poem of thc "Holy Grail," the longest of thc four new idyls of Tennyson, thc coming or King Arthur ;s timb described by Belhceut, Qneen or Orkeuey, in answer to a question or Klug Leodoygran, thc rather ortho Princess Guinevere, who afterwards became the guilty spouse or Arthur: "Ye come from Arthur's court: think ye this So few his kuights, however brave they be Hath body enow to beat hiB foemen down?" "0 king," she cried, "and I will tell thee: few, Few. but all brave, all or one mind with him; For I was near him wis ;n the savage yells Of tither's peerage died, and Arthur sat Crowned on the dais, and his warriors cried, 'Be thou thc klug, and we will work thy will Who love thee.' Then the king, in low, deep tones, And simple wonjil great authority, Bouud them by BdTjtraight vows to his own self, That when they rose, knighted from kneeling, some Were pale as a: thc passing of a ghosr, Some tlush'd, and others dazed, as one who wakes Hatr-blmdcd at thc coming or alight. "But when he spake and cheered his Table Bound With large, divine, and comfortable words Beyond my tongue to tell thee-I beheld From eye "to jyc thro' all their Order flash A momen'ary likeness or the king; And ere lt left their faces, thro' the cross And those around it and the crucitlcd, Dowu from the casement, over Arthur, smcte Flame-color, vert, and azure, i;. three rays, One falling upon each of three fair queens, Who stood in silence near his throne, the friends Or Arthur, gazing ou him, tall, with bright, Sweet faces, who will help him at his need*. .' And there I saw Mage Merlin, whose vast wit fig And hundred winters are but as thc hands Of loyal vassals toiling for their liege. * "And near him stood the Lady of the Lake Who knows a subtler magic than his own Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful. She gave the king his huge cross-hilrcd sword, Whereby to drive thc heathen out:a mist Of incense curl'd about her, and her race Wellnigh was hidden m the minster gloom, But there was heard among the holy hymns A voice as or the waters, for she dwells Down In a deep, calm, whatsoever storms May shake the world, tad. when the surface rolls, Hath power to walk the waters like cur Lord. "There likewise I beheld Excalibur Before him nt his crowning borne the sword That rose from out the bosom of the lake. And Arthur rowed across and took lt-rich With jewels, elfin Urm, on the hilt. Bewildering heart and eye-the blade so bright That men arc blinded by it-on one side, Graven in thc oldest tongue of all this world, .Take me,' but turn the blade and you shall see, /nd written in the speech ye speak yourself. .Cast me away!' and sad waa ?i?m?"? frW Taking it, but old Merlin counselled him. Take thou and strike! The time to cast away Is yet far off; so this great brand the king Took, and by this will beat his foemen down." A NEW BYRON STORY. THE LIFE OF MEDORA LEIGH, THE ALLEGED "CHILD OF SIN.? A Sad and Revolting Narrative. In "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life," ? Mrs. Stowe wrote: "There was an unfortu? nate child ot sin born w ith thc curse upon her, ove? whose wayward nature Lady Byron watched with a mother's tenderness. She was the one who could have patience when the patience of every one else failed; and though the task was a difficult one, from the strange, abnormal propensities to evil in the subject of it, yet Lady Byron never faltered, and never gave over till death took thc responsibility from her hands." Many have supposed that this child, like the crime of which thc child was assumed to be thc fruit, was only thc phantom of a disordered brain; but the writer of the article In the last Quarterly Review, in a note on the passage wc have quoted, made thc following significant remark: "As thc child was not what the context may suggest, and has nothing to do with the story, this para, graph is to the last degree wanton and cruel, as every one vrho knoics xchat thai child icon must /cei." What that child was, a book Just published in London, entitled "Medora Leigh: A History , and an Autobiography," and edited by Charles i Mackay, professes to reveal. Incidentally it 1 also undertakes to show that Lady Byron's ac? cusation against her husband was unfounded, and to explain how that accusation came to bc made. We transfer to our columns, from thc New York Tribune, thc following interesting and elaborate analysis of thc narrative: We may warn our readers at thc start, 1st, that, supposing the narrative to be authentic, it proves nothing as to thc truth or uutruih of the charge in controversy, though lt opens some curious conjectures; and 2d, that no evi? dence is afforded of its authenticity, while several circumstances connected with the pub? lication are suspicious. Dr. Mackay informs us that he received ihe autobiography from "a friend," among whose papers it had lain unhced- 1 ed for 26 years. He does not say who his ! friend is; he docs not distinctly inform us ?here that friend obtained thc MS. For the ' rjresen^ j-iC g?t??i w0 nmsl be content to know that the friend is a Mr. S-, and that he came Into possession ol' thc papers while he was en? deavoring to bring about a reconciliation bc- ' tween Lord Byron and thc unfortunate person : whose story "they relate. This is about as unsatisfactory as anything could well be; and we might reject the book at once ; were it not tor one or two circumstances which indirectly and Imperfectly vouch for i it. Il is clear, "for Instance, both from Mrs. Stowe's account and thc comment of the well- 1 informed writer in The Quarterly, that there ; was a child of Mr?. Leigh's upon whom some Bort of mystery rested; and in the narrative here presented correspondence is mentioned : or quoted with various members of the Byron ! family and other well known persons-corres? pondence which wotdd be at oacc repudiated ] if the story were a mere book-maker's fraud. Passing over the shameful language which the 1 editor permits himself lo uso toward Mrs. 1 Stowe in the introductory chapter-the calum? nious and utterly uncalled for remarks about ; American "nigger-worshippers,''ultra Republi? cans, and grim Puritans, who plotted to de- 1 stroy tho Onion as a means ol getting rid ol' ! slavery; and thc 'inprofitable resume of Hie whole Byron controversy which fills nearly a third of the liberally padded book, we come ! to the history ol' Medora Leigh, the fourth ' daughter of Lord Byron's sister. In the summer ol' 1843, twenty-seven years 1 after the separation of Lord and" Lady Byron, 1 and nineteen years after the poet's death, 1 Medora Leigh, then twenty-eight years ol' ago, 1 came from Paris to London accompanied 'by 1 her child, a daughter of ni ne or ten."She is de- 1 scribed as good-looking, lively and agreeable, 1 but in bad nealth and without money. Her ' expenses in travellimr had been defrayed bv a 1 retired English officer, Captain Dc B-l- 1 [another anonymous witness, j whose acquain- 1 tance she had made at Hyeres, in thc south of < France, whore she lived for some time before ' going to Parts. He found her destitute iu thc : French capital; he heard her story; ho learn- 1 ed from her lips that she was Ute daughter of 1 Mrs. Leigh by Lord Byron, and until ] recently had been treated with groat kind- ' ness and liberality by Lady Byron; and 1 he urged he to go to London and 1 plead her cause in person with her 1 rich and pv .verfitl relatives, helping ' her out of his slender purse, and oven sup" porting her tor some time aller hor arrival iu England. In London she had an interview with Dr. Maekay's Mr. 8 -, ono of thc part? ners in a law firm with which Captain Dc B_ had dealings. She wrote out tho painful story of her lifo, and convinced him ot'thc truth of all her assertions. He had several intorviows with Lady Byron's legal adviser?, Dr. Lush? ington and Sir George Stephen, with a view of bringing about a reconciliation. Ho failed In that; he failed also in an effort lo In? duce thc-family to refund what Captain De B-had advanced. But before wo pursue this part of thc history any furl her it will bo convenient to disregard Dr. Maekay's order of narrativo, and look at the extraordinary auto? biography which this handsome woman ol' twenty-eight laid before her counsel: "I am tho fourth child of a family of seven. My chipst sister. Georgiana, mat rled"Mr. Henry Tre? varnon, a distant cousin, in 1S20, when ? was panv them to a country house which had bc placed at i'.elr disposal by my aunt, Annabel Lady Byr^o, during thc time of my sister's I preaching confinement. The house was in t neighborhood of Canterbury. .* * * ".My sister's illness, before her conflnemei was the occasion of my being left much alo with Mc TrcvanicTi. Indeed, I found my? thrown entirely upon him for society. 1 w with him both .indoors and out, by day and I night, and was frequently sent by my sister in ids bedroom on errands after every one else thc house had retired to rest. Some monti passed in this manner, during which Mr. Ti vanion took advantage o? my youth and wea ness, and effected my ruin, and I found myself Ilk Iv to become a motlier by one 1 had ever dislike Mr. Trevaulon, when made aware of my posilio implored mc to tell Georgiana thc truth, ar throw him and myself upon her mercy. I did s My misery and my repentance appeared to moi her much; and "she blamed herself for harli thrown mc so much lu Henry's (Mr. Trevauion' way. I was but tineen years of age at this tin -In thc year 1830." Mr. and Mrs. Trcvanion curried the unforti nate girl to Calais, and there she was prem? tardy delivered of a child, which was left 1 charge of a medical man, and died at the ap ol" three months. She went back to her motl er's house, concealing what had happened, an there Trevinion seduced her again. Mr Leigh was LOW taken into her confidence, an treated lier with great kindness. Mrs. Treval ion was als) informed, and took her sister o lo the country, where, three months aile; ward, that is, in June, 1S31, she was surprise by a visit Irom Colonel Leigh. Georgiana an Trevarnon had informed her that Colonel Leig was not lier father, but she did not believ them, and Mr. L . gh himself was so far froi suspecting anything ol' thc kind that h showed more affection for Medora than fo any ol the other children of the family. Ignt rant of her shame, but alarmed perhaps a some of the manifestations of a "wayward na turc" and "strange, abnormal propensities, to which Mrs. Stowe refers, he took bert London; and placed her in a private htnati asylum, where she remained about a month There Trevarnon tovad means to communient wit li lier and arrange her escape : "One day the lady to whose care I had been in trusted told mc that if 1 liked to walk out of th liGuse nobody would snip me, and chowed nu how to remove thc chains aftlxed to thc door, did not hesitate in any choice between two evils bul at once put on my bonnet, followed her in structions, and found f revanion outside waltinj to receive me. Wc left thc street with all possi bichaste and secrecy, which we might havi spared ourselves, as nobody attempted to follow us. We made our way to thc Continent, and foi two years alter this ti"ic Urea" together as mat aud wile on thc coast ol Normandy, under thc as Sumed name of Monsieur mid Madame Aubin.' This elopement, Medora says, was connivee at by her sister, who wanted to get rid ol hoi husband, (and no wonder.) and did in fact ap ply for a divorce, but it was not granted. Wt pass over the life of tho guilty pair in France. There the daughter Marie, whom wc have al ready mentioned, was born-the only solace o the wretched existence ol this thrice unfortu? nate child of sin. She corresponded with hci mother, who sent her what Hule money she could spart?-but tho Leighs were always ir pecuniary embarrassment. Other relative.? did something for her, and in 1838 shaJcft hw paramour-if that name could bo applied to a man she never loved-and went to a neighbor? ing town. At last, in 18-10, she received an affectionate letter from Lady Byron, with offers ol'assistance and protection, and an in? vitation to go with her lo Paris. She accepted the offers with joy. What followed she must tell in her own words: "At Fontamchleu, where she was detained by illness, Lady Byron informed me of thc cause wi the deep Interest she felt, and must ever feel, foi mc. Her husband ha<l been my father. She im? plored and sought my affection by every means: and almost exacted my confidence to thc mos! unlimited extent. I was willing and anxious, in anv and every way 1 could, to prove both my gratitude and the desire ! so sincerely felt to repay, hy my affection ami devotion, any pain she IUUAI have felt for circumstances connected willi my birth and her separation from Lord Byron. Uer otilv wish, she sahl, was to provide for inc, ac? cording to Lord Byron's intentions respect lng me. and according to my rank in life. Sile evinced much anxiety for my health and comfort, expressed indignation for ali 1 had suffered, spuke of thc comfort 1 would be lo her, and of the no CCSSlty that 1 should bc a devoted child to her."' She went with Lady Byron to England. She was treated by her, and by Lord and Lady Lovelace, with the grealest kindness. I was taught, she says, io regard Ada as my sislcr. For awhile lt seems as If hf r life must have been smooth and happy. But disagreements followed with her protectress, in which, though Medora lays the blame on Lady Byron's temper, lt ls not difficult to perceive from the Autobi? ography traces ol' the wild and ungovernable nature of which evidence enough hits already been shown, and (something perhaps of thu suspiciousness which is so characteristic of insanity. There was a law-suit for Hie posses? sion of a deed ol'appointment executed 1 y Mrs. Leigh and Lady Byron, by which thc sum ol' ?3[)W was to be paid Medora after thc deal h ot I hose ladies; and this suit apparent ly was Hu? main cause of the trouble. At any rate it was in-ranged that Medora should go with lit-r daughter to Hyeres, accompanied by a maid and valet (husband and wile,) to whom Lally Byron inti usted the disbursement of thc sum's she allowed for her niece's maintenance. Here the Autobiography becomes obscure; in some places unintelligible; in some Irra? tional; filled with details about money deal? ings, complaints of thc maid and valet whom the writer believes to have been Lady Byron's spies, and angry allusions to Lady Byron. Mrs. Leigh and" Mrs. Trevauion, The editor Informs us that this latter part of the manu? script Is not in the handwriting of Miss Leigh, but was apparently dictated lo an aman? uensis of very imperfect education. We leam trom lt, however, thal she offended Lady By? ron very deeply by removing to Paris, but her ladyship afterward offered to settle upon her ?300 a. year on certain conditions, which wore not accepted. Thc Deed of Appointment and i box of other Important papers had been left in Lady Byron's hands. Medora Leigh sent the maid to get them, purposing io raise money by selling her reversionary interest in the Deed. Lady Byron, however, rcluscd to deliver them except lo Medora in person. Herc Captain De B- appears upon thc scene; Miss Leigh goes to London, and the Autobiography "closes. What finally became of thc papers is not shown. When the French maid left the house, the box disappeared, and it was supposed that she had stolen it-not for her mistress, with whom she had quarrelled; but to be used in extorting money from Hie Byron family. Al any rate wc find her husband the valet soon alter ward making a demand of some kind ol' Lady Byron, and threatening to publish the story ol'Medora Leigh to all thc world. Yet in tho negotiations between Mr. S- and L'idy Byron's representatives to which we now return, the principal conditions exacted of Miss Leigh was that she should surrender thal Joed to the custody ol'trustees, the nionev be? ing Intended not so much as lor her personal aseas for thc benefit ol' her chilli, lt was also required that she should make a "written confession of her sincere con? trition for her conduct to Lady Byron," and consent to return to her seclusion in France. On these terms Sir George Stephen writes that he is confident her friends will se? cure for her a comfortable and permanent home. "I personally know," continues Sir George, "the motive as well as the extent of tho kindness that she has shown to Miss Leigh, und there arc very few, certulnly not more than three, who know it as well. She has de? served all that is grateful and all that is respect Ad at Miss Leigh's hands: and, there lore, till her feelings are consulted and satis 8ed, so tar as under the present unfortunate circumstances they can be, I will never ap? proach her, or any of her family, as an inter? cessor for further assistance." To the second md lird stipulations Miss Leigh made no )bJectton ; but she was obstinate about thc Jeed, and so negotiations were broken (iff. Meanwhile she had written to several of her .datives, most of whom took no notice of her ettcrs. She sent to her kinsman, thu Duke of Leeds, an abstract ol' her autobiography, (it s given in the book,) and received io answer. She went to her mother's House, and wus dented admission. She wrote to her, and the lei ter was not acknowledged, rhercafter the unfortunate woman seems to have passed out ol'thu knowledge of the mys? terious Mr. S-from whom wc have all th?se particulars; but If Mrs. Stowe's account is cor? rect, she must have made her peace with Lad? Byron at last. Mr. S-writes under dale of September 24, I860: -I ascertained that the so-called 'secret' was known to very many persons besides Dr. Lushington and Sir George Stephen, and I do not know how to reconcile this ?'act with the 'dignified and hutipninimons silence' c laimed as a merit for Lady Byron- for if she did not impart (he knowledge, who else can have done so?" This agrees with the state? ments ot Mr John Robertson ol' Brighton and the Rev. Francis Trench, whose letters sonic time ago In thu London papers represent Lady Byron as distributing lier confidences on this subject during the latter part or her life to a great number ol'lier relatives and friends. The Autobiography ol' Medora Leigh, judged entirely by Itself, would probably Impress niost people as Hie production of a disordered brain: but lt should be remembered that in none ol' the letters here printed, in which the affairs of the poor woman are discussed by Dr. Lushiu" tou, Sir George Stephen, and Mr. S-, is there any hint that she was considered Insane, O'? tea! auy ol' her representations were false. If Mr. S-and Captain De B-had ignorantly espoused thc cause of a crazy woman, it is inconceivable that thc representatives or thc Byron family should not have informed them at once of thc character of their client. It must, be remembered, however, on the other hand, that while there can be no doubt (if these documents aro genuine,) that Medora Leigh was the child of Bj ron's sister, there is no proof that she was Byron's daughter, nor In? deed any proof that she was not thc legitimate offspring ol* Colonel Leigh. In tile negotia? tions for her relief, the question of her pater? nity docs not seem to have boen raised, although thc story of incest was known to Dr. Lushington, Sir George Stephen, and many others, and was probably tho subject of con? versation with Mr. 6-. So far this strange, repulsive book, with it dcvil's own history of infamy, is a strong con Urination of Mrs. Stowe; but after all what does it prove ? Only that Lady Byron told to many persons, at least as early ?s 1843, the same story tliat 6hc told to Mrs. Stowe in 1850: that there was an unfortunate wayward child of Mrs. Leigh's upon whom Lady Byron, believing her to bo the fruit ol'her husband's incestuous pas? sion, lavished a mother's care; probably that this child believed Lady Byron's story of her shameful birth. This leaves the problem as far as ever from a solution, and ol'course does not weaken in the least the tremendous force ol'Lady Byron's letters to her sister-in-law, which were published in thc Quarterly Review, or the fact mentioned in thc post cript to thc same periodical, that when Lord Broughton (Hobhouse) acting for By? ron, met Mr. (afterwards Sir Robert) Wil? mot Horton, Lady Byron's representative, with a view to "an amicable settlement, and questioned him upon all tho charges and rumors which had been uttered against .the poet as a cuiisc for thc separation, Mr. Horton, in thc name of thc lady, expressly re? pudiated the specific charge which has now been revived by Mrs. Stowe. Dr. Maekay's theory is that so'far as Mrs. Leigh is concerned thc present accusation dates from Mrs. Trc vanion's statement to Medora about 18'?l that Colonel Leigh was not her father. He be? lieves that it was the wicked invention of an outraged wife who wanted to get rid ol' lier husband, after she had once discovered his In? fidelity. If she obtained a divorce, Trcvnnbn could not marry his wife's sister, and ,lit was necessary to make Medora believe that she was not really Georgiana's sister-or. at all events, not the child of Georgiana's lather-In order that the unfortunate girl, even at thc sacrifice of her mother's good natue, might delude her? self with the hope that if thc divorce were ob (ained, there would romain no real obstacle to her marriage with her seducer." Lord By? ron's name, it will bo observed, was not cou? pled with the storv at this time; Medora was onlv told she was tho illegitimate child of her mother. It was from Lady Byron, in 1840, that she loamed thc name of her lather. Dr. Mackay believes that Lady Byron learned it from Georgi? ana Trevanion,and that unnatural woman either invented it altogether for the shameful pur? pose we have mentioned, or possibly, got it from Mrs. Charlemont. To us this theory seems incredible. Jt supposes a moro loathsome de? pravity in .Mrs. Trevarnon than has ever been attributed to any of the actors in this shocking drama. It supposes that, for no adoquaLe rea? son, she would blast tho reputation of her mother, and condemn her sister to a life of shame, ll she wanted a divorce, she had cause already, for adultery hud been commit? ted, and proving that Medora was her half sister would not further her plans. It is much moro likely that she never made any such reve? lation. Wc have only Medora's word for lt; and that ls worth very Utile In such u case as this. She blames her mother and her sister l-ir exposing her to tho danger which proved her ruin. She even charges thc sister with virtually enticing her to sin. Probably these charges' are purely fictitious, designed to soften the horrors ol' her narrative and stand for her oxen.-os. Dr. Mackay argues that Lady Byron cannot have entertained tho suspicion or belief which she communicated to Medora until some time later than lids supposed revelation of 1831, be? cause her account of tho separation, published ia Moore's life in PviO, seems inconsistent with it. But in thc first place thal account Is not really inconsistent with a belief in the charge ot'incest; It is only Inconsistent, with a willing? ness lo have that belief suspected. And again, even ifsitc tilJ not know it in 1830, it is queer logic to conclude that she could not have known it in 1831. There ls another diffi? culty, however, which the editor has ap? parently overlooked. Mr. S- says that Dr. Lushington and others, in 1843, wore in pos? session ol'the ?"secret"' which Lady Byron con? fided to Mrs. Stowe as the cause ol tho separa? tion. Aro wo to Infer that thc "secret" which she imparted to "her adviser in 1-31G was different from tho secret, which she imparted to ltira later ? There aro obvious difficulties in believing thnt ft was thc same; there are equal? ly obvious difficulties in believing that it was different except on thc supposition that she had become upon this one point of unsound mind -a supposition In which Dr. Maekay's book ui:on the whole tends to confirm ns._ COMMERCIAL A'EUS.

YE lt'S CATHARTIC PILLS, FUR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE MEDICINE. - Perhaps no ono medl ?5y cine ls so universally re /?r quired by everybody as j?f a cathartic, nor was ,lgl ever any before so uni I^^t^ff^ versally adopted Into 1 ~??*\ US0, every country e l\ <???l and among nil classes. vJ^Wf?'W?SSt 38 this mild but clllcieut \L%)7^-^BW purgative PILL. The T?-IN ?5**' obvious reason ls, that ftt?jf^^-^^?M?^' il a more reliable and _~^WMBli m gtwEi^" ''1 '" 11ctfeeluat rem ?JJ M.-, %r?^n. c?y t?um any other. Those who have tried it, know that lt cured them: those who have not, know that lt cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once lt does always-that lt never nilli through any fault or neglect or Its conipuJltlon. We have thousands upon thousands of the certifi? cates of their remarkable cures or thc following complaints, but such cures aro known In every neighborhood, and we ueed not publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions in al! climates; containing neither calomel or any deietcrinni drug, they may bc taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in auy quantity. ' They "operate by their powerful Influence on th? Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it. Into healthy action-remove the obst rn el ions ol the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to heall li, and bv correcting, wherever they exist, SUCH derangements as arc the first origin or disease. Minute directions arc given in the wrapper on the box. Tor thc following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure: For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LISTLESSNESS LANGUOR ami Loss of APPETITE, they should be taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For LIVER COMPLAINT and Its various symp? toms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE, JAUN? DICE or GREEN SICKNESS, BILIOUS COLIC ami BILIOUS FEVERS, they should bc judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For DYSENTERY or DIARRHOEA, but one mild dose Is generativ required. For RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GRAVEL, PALPITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and LUNGS, they should be continuously taken, ns re? quired, to change the diseased action or the sys? tem. With such change those complaints dis? appear. For DROPSY and DROPSICAL SWELLINGS they should be taken In large and frequent closes to produce the ctrect of a drastic purge. For SUPPRESSION a large dose should bc taken as it produces Hie desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, lake one or two FILLS lo pro? mote digestion and relieve thc stomach. Au occasional dose stimulates thc stomach anti bowels Into healthy action, restores thc appetite, and Invigorates the system. Hence lt ls orten ad? vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who reels tolerably well, often linds that a dose or these PILIS makes him reel decidedly bet? ter, from their cleansing und rcuovallng effect un thc digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
