ti ..•TH4 LAST MOMENTS OF LORD BYRON. 1111031 Taa WitipliNSTNlt RZIIINW, NO. in. The last moments of great men have always been a rutiject of deep inter:at, and are thought to be preg. nant with instuction. Surely, if the death-bed of any . , man will flu attention, it is that of one upon whose most trifling action the eyes . of all Europe: has been fixed for ten years with an anxious and minute curio sity, of which the annals of literature, afford no pre vious example, We are enabled•td 'pre,ent our Readers ith a very.detailed aeport .of Lord Byron's last illness : it is collected from the mouth of Mr. Fletcher, who has been for more than twenty years his faithful and cell& dential attendant, It is very possible that the account may contain inaccuracies; the agitation, of the scene may have created some confusion in the mind of an humble, but an affectionate friend; memory may,'it is possible, in some trifling instances, have played him false :and some of the thoughts may have been changed either. in the sense or in the expression, br by passing 6E0,10 the mind of an uneducated man. But we are convineed.of the general acCuracy of the whole, and consider Ourselves very fortunate in being the means of preserving so affecting and interesting a history of .the last days of the greatest and the truest poet that Eng land has for sometime produced.. My master,",says Mr, f letcher . " cont i nued his usual custom of riding daily, when tie weather would permit f until the 9th• of -April. But •on that ill-fated day, he got very wet, ;and on his return home, his Lord ship changed the whole of his dfess, but be had been too lung in his wet clothes, and the cold, of which he had complained more or less ever since we left Cepha lonia, made this attack be more severely felt. Though rather- feverish diming. the, night,- his Lordship slept pretty well, but complained in the morning of a pain in his bones and a head-ache t• this did Dot i however, prevent him from taking a ride in theafternoon, which I grieve to say Was his last. On his return, my master said that the saddle was not perfectly dry, from being so wet the day before, and observed. that he thought it had•made him worse. His Lordship was again visited by the same slow fever, and I was sorry to perceive on the next morning, that his illness , appeared to be in creasing. He was very low, and complained of not having had any sleep during the night. His Lordship's appetite was alto quite gone. I prepared a little arrow root, of which he took three or four spoonfuls, saying it was very good, but could take no more. It was not till the third day, the 12th, that I began to be alarmed for my master. In all his former colds, be alWays slept well, and was never affected by this' slow fever. I therefore wept to Dr. Bruno and Mr. Millingen, the two medical attendants, and inquired minutely into every circumstance connected. with my master's present ill ness : bdtb replied that there was no danger, and I might make myself perfectly easy on the subject, for all would be well in a few days. This was on the 13th ; on the following day, I found my master in such a state, that I could not feel happy without supplicating that he would send to Zante for Dr t Thomas : after ex pressing my fears lest hit Lordship should get worse, he desired me to consult the Doctors, which I did, and was told there was no occasion for calling in any person, as they hpOil all would be will iu a few days. Here I should niMaik, 'that his Lordship. repeatedly, said in the course of the day, he was sure the Doctors did not un derstand his disease; to which I . answered, then my Lord have other advice by all-means. 4 They tell me,' said Ms Lordship, that it is. only a common cold, which you know I have had a thousand times? lam sure my - .Ord,' said that you never had one of so serious a nature.' g 1 think I never had,' was his Lord ship's answer: I mutated my supplications that Dr. Thomas should be sent for on the 15th, and was again assured that my master would be better in two or three days. After these confident assurances, I did not renew my entreaties until it was too late. With re spect to the medicines that were given to my master, I could not persuade myself that those of a strong pur gative nature were the best adapted for his complaint, concluding that, as he had nothing on his stomach, the only effect would be to create pain: indeed this must have been the case with a person in perfect health. The whole nourishment taken by my master for the list eight days, consisted of a small quantity of broth at two or three different tirne, and two spoonfuls of arrow-root swathe 18th, the day before his death. The first time I heard of there being any intention of bleed ing his Lordship, was on the 15th, when it was pro posed by Dr. Bono, but objected to at first by my master, who asked Mr. Millingen if there was any very great reason for taking blood : the latter replied that it might be of service, but added that it could be deferred till the next day. And accordingly my master was bled in the right arm, on the evening of the 16th, and a pound of blood was taken. 1 observed at the time that it had a most inflamed appearance. Dr. Bruno now began to say he had frequently urged my master to be bled, but that he always refused; a long dispute now arose about the time that had been lost, and the neces sity of sending for medical assistance to Zante, upon which I was informed for the first time that it would be of no use, as my master would be better, or no more, before the arrival of Dr. Thomas. His Lordship con tinued to get worse, but Dr. Bruno .said, he thought - letting blood again would save his life, and I lost no time in telling my master how necessary it was to comply with the Doctor's wishes; to this he replied by saying. he feared they knew nothing about his disorder, and then stretching out his arm said, 6 here, take - my arm, and do whatever you like.' His Lordship conti nued to get weaker, and on the 17th he was bled twice in the morning, and at two o'clock in the afternoon ; the bleeding at both times was followed by fainting fits, and he would have fallen down more than once, had I not caught him in my arms. In order to prevent such an accident, I took care not to let his Lordship stir with out supporting him. On this day, my master said to me twice— , I cannot sleep, and you well know 1 have not been able to sleep for more than a week : I know, added his Lordship, , that a man can only be a certain time without sleep, and then he must go mad without any' one being able to save him, and I would 'ten times sooner shoat myself than be mad, for I am nothfraid of dying, lam more fit to die than people think.' Idu no:, however, believe that his Lordship had any appre hension of iliffate till the day after, the Bib, when he said, . I fear you and Tita will be ill.by sitting up con stantly and - day: 1 answered, we shall never leave yout L o rd-hip till you ate better: As my master h a d a qiglit tit of delirium ot: the 11th, I wok care to 4 4 t - - t 01310 s :. ‘ 41) 1 M _ .._ ' 1 4 ...° i ... <ll ..1b. 4 . - ~ ' ..l' , 2 :415. .-.:4,' • - ~•; kr' - '''' .t. • . remoie the pistols in — d* saletiti 'Which h ' l hitherto been kept. at.his .bed side in, tile ;AIL On the 18th, his LOrdship.addiessed me frequently; and seemed to be very much dissatisfied with his medical treatment. I then said, Do allow me to send for Dr. Thomas,' to, which he answered, do so, but be quick. lam only. sorry I did not let you do so before, as I am sure they have mistaken my disease; write yourself, for I know they would not like to see other Doctors here.' I did not lose a moment in obeying my master s orders, and on informing Dr. Bruno and Mr. Millingen of it, they said it was very right, as they now began to be afraid themselves. On returning to my master's room, his first words were, Have you sent ?' I have, thy Lord,' was my answer ; upon which he said, ' You have done right, for I should like to know what is the matter with me.' Although his Lordship did not appear to think his dissolution was so near, I could perceive he was getting weaker every hour, and he even began to have occasional fits of delirium. He afterwards said, I now begin to think I am seriously ill, and, in case I should be taken off suddenly, I wish to give you several directions, which I hope you will be particular in seeing executed. I answered I would, in case such an event came to pass, but expressed a hope that he would live many years, to execute them much better himself, than I could. To this my maser replied, No, it is now nearly over'—,and then aZded, 4 I must tell you all without losing a Moment: I then said, Shall I go, my bird, and fetch pen, ink, and paper 7 B Oh I my GOD, no—you will lose too much time, and I have it not to spare, for my time is now short,' said his Lord ship ; and immediately after; ' Now, pay attention ;' his Lordship commenced by saying, 4 You will be pro vided for.' I begged him, however, to proceed with things of more consequence, he then continued, Oh my poor dear child ! my dear Ada ! my Gon, could but have seen her ! give her my blessing—and my dear' sister Augusta and her children ;—and you will go to, Lady Byron, and say --- tell her everything—you' are friends with her." His Lordship appeared to be greatly affected at this moment. Here my master's voice failed him, so that I could only catch a word at im tervals, but he kept muttering something very seriously for some time, and would often raise his voice and say, 4 Fletcher, now if you do not execute every order which have given you, I willtorment you hereafter if possible.' Here I told his Lordship, in a state of the greatest per plexity, that I had not understood a word of what he said, to which he replied,' Oh, my Gon ! then all is lost! for it is now too late—,can it be possible you have not understood me ?' 4 No, my Lord,' said I, but I pray you to try and inform me once more. How can I?' rejoined my master, 4 it is now too late and all is over: I said,' Not our will, but GOD'S be done, and he answered,' Yes, not mine be done—but I will try --: His Lordship did indeed make several efforts to speak, but could only repeat two or three words at . a time, such as,' My wife! my child! my sister! you know all—you must say all,—you know my wishes; the rest was quite .unintelligible. A con sultation was now held (about noon), when it was de. termined to administer some Peruvian bark and wine. My master had now been nine days& without any Susie nance whatever, except what I have already mentioned. With the exeption of a few words which can only interest those to whom they were addressed, and which, if re quired, I shall communicate to themselves, it was impos sible to understand anything his Lordship said after taking the bark. He expressed a wish to sleep. lat one time asked whether I should call Mr. Parry ? to which he replied,' Yes, you may call him. Mr. Parry de sired him to compose himself. He shed tears, and, apparently, sunk into a slumber. Mr. Parry went away, expecting to find him refreshed on his return—but it was the commencement of the lethargy preceding his death. The last words I heard my master utter were ai six o'clock on the evening of the 18th, when he said, I must sleep now ; upon which he laid down never to rise again ! for he did not move hand or foot during the following twenty-four hours. His Lordship op , peered, however, to be in a state of suffocation at in tervals, and had a frequent rattling in the throat ; on these occasions; I called Tita to assist me in raising his head, and I thought he seemed to get quite stiff. The rattling and chocking in the throat took place every half hour ; and we continued to raise his head whenever the fit came on, till six o'clock in the evening of the 19th, when I saw my master oeen his eyes and then shut them, but without :hewing any symptom of pain, or' moving hand or foot. 4 Oh, my GOD !" I exclaimed. • I fear his Lordship is gone ! " The doctors- then felt his pulse, and said,,' You are right—he is gone.' " POOR LAWS. It is highly gratifying to find, from the Report of the Select Committee on Poor-rate Returns, ordered to be printed 15th June, 1824, that the expenditure for the Poor continues to decrease. The whole of its amount for England and Wales, for the year ending 25th March, 1823, was 5,772,9621. The expenditure for 1813 amounted to 6,856,1051. being at tj►e rate of l 3 shil lings a head of the population of 1811, while the ex penditure for 1822-3, amounts only to nine shillings a head of the population of 1821. The expenditure for 1822.3 falls short of that of 1821.2 by no less a sum than 585,7451. The Appendix to the Report, containing extracts from the observations of parish officers, furnishes much matter for reflection. To those who wish to have a correct notion of the working of the present English Poor Law system, many of these observations will be found extremely useful. The sum expended on the poor in Lancashire, for the year ending the 25th of March, 1823,-is 219,4111. This, for a population of 1,074,000, is at the rate of four shil lings ahead. Sussex, again, pays 246,8271. which on its population of 237,700, is at the rate of 11. ls. per head. But if labour were not paid out of the Poor Rates in Sussex, we have not the smallest doubt that the difference between what would'in that case be paid as wages, and what is now paid as wages, would actually exceed this' sum of 246,8271. The fact is, that in Sussex, as in all the other counties similarly circumstanced, the unmar ried men pay for the families of those who are married, and those who work pay for the unemployed. The farmer, from the market of labour being glutted, has the labourers on his own terms, and takes care that on the whole he shall not pay more in wages and poors' rates together than he would pay under other circum stances for the former alone. At the opening of the Carlow Assizes, on Thursday last, Lord NORBURT, in addressing the Grand Jury, told them that he had now been in the habit of addressing them for forty years, and he could this time congratu late them upon the heaviest crops and lightest calenAr they ever bad had during that time. • Pcinvezt i testivat • • ItANSID -1 CS*, Estutaoisinther Citaifix or Assay r.--Mr. Vans, nieliiber of the Mimeo Council for the Ward of Candleteick, ant stove grateonntutiacturer, residing on Fith.street-bill, was brought before that Lao Maros, on a charge of having outrageously usaulted an Irish Gentleman, and beating him with a horsewhip. The complainant, Mr. Westhope, stated, that he resides at Cork, and that he recently had occasion to come over to London for the purpose of receiving money due to him. He had occasion to make a purchase of ironmongery to furnish a house, and he called to ascer tain the prices, and ,make a selection at the shop of Mr. Evans. He ultimately looked out a quantity to thi amount of about £32, and desired that a list of them might be made out. On Friday he called for the purpose of paying for them, as he was about to sail on Saturday, and they had arranged for their shipment, when he presented a bill for All in payment, which had been endorsed by Mr. Hawley, a respectable and well-inown jeweller, residing in the Strand. Mr. Evans said be must send to get it discounted, and appeared to make some difficulty about it, when be (Mr. West hope) said he would get it discounted himself, as be was going in a direction where he could get it done without any inconvenience. He folded up the bill for that purpose, when Mr. Evans exclaimed, You never intended to pay me for these goods—you are an ar- Min swindler—get out of my shop immediately !" The prosecutor *ide him a bow, to intimate that after this language their dealing *it iinly was at an end, when Mr. Evans sprang round upon him, seized him by the shoulder, and kicked him into the street. Mr. Westhope stopped for a moment at the door to obtain redress, when Mr. Evans, not content with what he bad done, seized a car man's whip, and cut him severely over the face with it. He showed the wounds on his face, which were certainly most serious. He said he was ready to give every testimonial of his respecta bility, and called upon a Gentleman who had accompanied him to the defendant's shops Mr. Evans then went into a history of the transaction, which confirmed Mr. Westhope's statement, as far as the time of settle ment. But Mr. Evans represented bins as an exceedingly trouble some and hesitating customer. He said that he had horsewhipped the complaitiant under the provocation of a blow. The Loan Maros ordered Mr. Evans to find sureties to answer *S esesulr at the Sessions. The.sureties were entered into, and Mr. Evans was discharged. Gregory, the man charged on s uspicion of being concerned in the kibbery of Earl Cooper's steward, underwent a final examination, when hit. Richardson admitted that there was not sufficient evi dence against him, and he was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday an exquisite of superior appearance, named ram freed, of King's-road, Chelsea, was brought up from Saffron-hill watch-house, charged with outrageously assaulting three watchmen on Sunday morning last. The charge, on being read from the watch-book, excited much surprise, as the defendaot's stature was extremely diminutive, while that of the watchmen was quite the contrary. He, however, fully retrieved, by his prowess, that class of animals with which he is identified. 'John Corbett, a watchman, stated, that about one o'clock on Sunday tnofning the prisoner was coming into Holborn, out of Ely place, intoxicated, and behaving in the most riotous manner. On advising him either to return to the house from whence be had come, or go home peaceably, he declined doing either, but kept passing and sepassing through tie gate, conducting himself so vio lently, that at length witness endeavoured to take him to the watch house. He was, however, knocked down, and so severely kicked in the body by the prisoner, that he is at present under medical treat, tutuf. cln his calling to his brethren for asdstance, the little Hercules seised hoe of them by the throat, knocked him down,and would cer tainly having strangled him but for the timely assistance of a posse Amanda:is of coostables, who with diffiaulty secured bigt. . . The priseger, wbo-dnring this statement amused bithsitif with twirling about his white bat,. and exhibidpg himself in $ vurktr of graceful attitudes, when asked by the Magistrate what be was ? re with a great air of dignity, " A Gentleman, No observed the Magistrate, " your conduct proves shot." This remark broirght the " Gentleman's" tone down many de-. pees, and accordingly he begged his Worship's permission to settle the matter . with the watchmen. . , The MaPitrate observed, that such an agpavated We ought not to go unpuffished; but as he expressed so much contrition, he sve- - " not refuse his. request. The defendant then withdrew to a friend's house in Lan..-, - street, to procure the proper remuneration to the watchmen, he having undertaken to pay all the ecpensits for medical advice for the watchman Corbett, who is very seriously Injured. . . MARY I. &MONNE OFFICE. James Militesod, a tan, stout, rulEsady.lookimg fellow, who had been but a fortnight discharged from prison, was brought up from the watcb-house of fit. Pancras. - •, • •• • • • - •It appeared that th e Flume; who has the character of a most efelent wan, beat bile wife in a rerneekoradng manner, en Saturday imming, and on his landlord, Mr. Rivets, Of No. 4, Howland-strees, venturing to remonstrate witlabins, be attached that Gentleman in most fergelous manner, and vowing that be would be the death of any man that dared to approach hint, he betook himself to his apartment, one of the attics. Some boys, whom the disturbance had brought to the spat, perceiving him at the window, set up a shout, upon which the prisoner roceeded •to tear down t he bricks fmnst the parapet wail, and disc harged them. at random among the crowd assembled below. One large rick passed yery nigh to Mr. Rivers'. head, and another ipenetrated the roof of a cooper's shop, where se veral men were at work, one of whom narrowly escaped dative tion from the fan-of the ponderous missile. The prisoner represented himself as a much injured personage, of the mildest temper and most gentle demeanour; but his wife and" landlord, and several of the neighbours concurring in testimony to his extremely violent and outrageous conduct, he was ordered to find bail, in default of which he was locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. *drew Anne, Esq. a Gentleman of genteel and fashionable ap pearance, was charged with viOentlY assaulting one of the guardians 'of the night, and also with being drunk and disorderly. .—..• Monroe, a watchman stated, that about twelve o'clock the previous night, ;his Gentlema n was kicking so violently at the door of a house in Lisle4treet, and vociferating that he had been robbed in the house, that the watchman went to ascertain if anything of the kind had happened, but they assured him that the Gentleman had never been in the house at all. The watchman then wished limns go home, upon which Mr. Hume instantly knocked him doWn and whe n he got up, knocked him down again,. and so he did nine succeuive times, as quick as he could rise. He bad just sense enough left to spring his rattle, and the first watchman that came to his astlistance shared the same fate as himself, and measured his length epee the ground. At length, by numbers, t h e Gentleman was secured and lodged in the watch-house, where the constable of the night„, hearing a robbery spoken of, starched him, and found the gold wards, &c. and sixteen sovereigns now produced, which he took charge of for the night, and the next morning Mr. Henze acknowledged that he bad loot nothing, and had not been robbed. Mr. Hu me said, all that was alleged against him might be tree or might be Aillse, for aught he knew of the mattes. He arrived In London a tew days ago, on his way to the Continent, and wishing to see Rich l inond-hill, he went to that place, and met at the Castle Inn, whet i • he dined, some jovial *outs ' who induced him to in dulge too tr i tely, so that when be got to London, and was set down from the co uch, he knew not whether he was on his head or his heels. If lie bad assaulted the watchman, he was very sorry for it. Mr. Rom 'said the assault was sworn to, and rather a violint one; but as Mr. fume was•oa his travels, perhaps it would be better for, him to give some trffling compensation to the watchmen than to be held to bail, ins must otherwise be the case. . .1 Mr. Hume\ said, that for his part, he.knew not how to settle with watchmen, **re being no such description of people in Aberdeen shire, where be resides. He retired, and in aiew minutes.the cow . plainants retut,ned, and said that the.Gegileman bad given them seven shillings each ; and Mr. Huineee after paying Ss. for intozica-i tion, made a law bow to the Magistrate, and was discharged. •\ QUEEN-SQUARE. . Love at vas kamozst.—A young man, of fashionable exterior, teas brought before the Magistrates of this office, charged with haviig. been found secrited in a Gentleman's house, between the hours of twelve and one o'clock in the morning, under suspicious circtini stanceh.—The annplainaut, G. Holmes, Esq. of• Margaret-street, stated, that on Su nday night, abeut.the usual hour, he and Mrs.' Holmes retired,acr d the servant, Martha Young , brought up the hall-door key, and; ecording to custom, laid it on the dressing-table; When Mr. Holmes , had nearly undressed,• it occurred:to him that / he had left some papers of consequence oo.the table in the parkas:, which he had .been o perusing atter iupper, and fearing that the servants might disarrange, if not destroy them, hes drew on his robe-de-chantbre and slippers, and went hastily down stairs ; having to pass the butler's [alder, a closet off the first landing ► he was alarmed by the sound of v oices apparently . in eager contention. Un certain how to act, Mr. Holmes remained-a moment or two on the landing. Tlieategi-tite was continued, bat the apeakers' tones as mimed a softer and a more interesting expression. Unable longer to restrain his anger," Mr. Holmes forced the sacred Pane, and pre sented himself to the " conscious pair," wko were no other than Martha and the prisoner now at the bar, whom Mr. Holmes never before remembered to have seen. The former threw herself on bee seeds .11 *cavil -- - in Mushiii; csinaitiba tidier a effladdaf, yet With' qisieering . lip besought forgiveness; whilst the litter. not less 1,4)4_ la of his misconduct, muttered some indistinct apology. At first,. Mr. Holmes proposed sending both to the aka-finlike, but slrs. Hohnes, who by this time had risen from her bed, overruled that motion; the weeping Martha was taken charge of by her mistress, whilst the enamoured cavalier was transferred to the surveillance of the night con Stable. Martha, the heroine of this romantic adveritare, viati•then pro. duced in corroboration of the ahlave. After a pretty preface of sobbing, ntermingled with apologies, she admitted th'at it was all true ; the young gentleman was her sweetheart, and she would be bound would do no an to no gentlernan'slouse. " Indeed, deed, your Worship," continued Martha," if y?u'orill knOw'd hint as long and as well as I do, you'd say' yourself he was a must frOper armless young man." She then stated that It was not by • tie hall-door that he came in, but through a window which opens .: ;. from the room in which they were discovered to the yard at t l rear. She locked the door safe as usual; but as " Love laughs a: locksmiths," he gallantly scaled the walls, and clambered, cr:er ti e wash-house roof, in defiance of sundry spikes, tenter-hooks, brolte. glass, man-traps, spring-guns, &c. for the sole purpose of tn ', o yl ; his dear Martha's society for one little hour. This statenteat gAitit implicit credence from the artlessness of its delivery. The young Troubadour was then called on for his defence, and with the chivalrous gallantry of a true lover, he put in an unquai.i. fled Flea of guilty; urging, in mitigation of damages, that being at the moment entirely under the dominion of love—the sotereirn despot that sways all hearts, from prince to peasant—his better ft:a eon had deserted him ; but he begged to assure their Woo and the complainant, that he was actuated neither by dishonest nor yet ilisbonottrable views. Martha was a servant, it was true, but he 116•04 her not the less on that account. Ilis 71( II family, who were wealthy and respectable, would oppose such a connection ; but as he felt himself independent of them, he regarded not thcir opposi don. So true it is, that— " The light that lies In woman's eyes Had proved his heart's undoing." Mr. Holmes said, that he believed the young man was more foolish than criminal, and having made some inquiries concerning his family, he.tound the statements were quite correct. As it was tolerably cleaMhat there was no dishonest, and, he trusted, no im proper object contemplated, he (Mr. Holmes) had no wish to press the case any further,• and it was dismissed, after exciting meth liner riment to some, much sadness to others. HOWORA CONCANNON".—The Clare Journal gives the following particulars of the execution of this crimintl : —" This wretched woman, the perpetiator of a horrid murder, suffered the extreme punishment of the law, on Saturday, in front of the new jail. From the time of her sentence being parsed, until the instant she was pre cipitated from the fatal drop, the Rev. Dean O'Shaugh nessy had been unremitting in his endeavours to bring her mind to a state of peace; and, a short time before she was removed from her cell, had succeeded so far as to induce her to conduct herself in somewhat of a be. coming manner, and, we believe, to join him in prayer. Until then, her behaviour was 'outrageous in the ex treme, blaspheming and screaming incessantly. The momentary calmness she assumed was, however, thrown aside, and her screams and resistance renewed with redoubled violence, when the summons arrived to conduct her to her last earthly scene. The.most dreadful imprecations, the most heart-rending apathy, were the only responses she made to the affecting appeals of the attending Clergyman. No persuasion, no entreaties, availed to bring her to. a proper sense of het4ituation; and forte was at length reluctantly resorted to, to fulfil the sentence she so jirstly .merited. She was placed (after having severely bitten the executioner) with the rope round her 'neck, lying on the platform; but she exerted all her strength, and rolled herself back into the door; in the struggle, her cap had fallen off, and her hair hung loose and disordered. The Rev. Mr. O'Shaughnessy then addressed her, but without effect. She was again forced out, and while sitting on the drop, was once more exhorted and implored to sue for mercy to her SAVIoUR ; but she still refused to listen. The drop fell; but one of her legs, which rested on the fereithiedfor i'moment supporting her, until re moved by,the executioner ; and even in that awful sus pension hetsiiien time ind eternity, she continued to in 'yoke the most horrid curses on.all concerned in causing her conviction and execution.
