VOTICES OF THE LIFE OF LORD BYRON BY MR. MOORE. AND REMARKS ON THOSE NOTICES BY LADY BYRON. From the New Monthly Magazine for April. Mr. bloores Life of the noble bard was reviewed in our last num ber: it must now be reviewed again. Among the literary notices the New Monthly, I consented to the insertion of a laudatory ac. tount of the work ; nay, more, 1 expunged a portion of the mann. script critique, in which Mr. Moore was censured for unfairness to wards Lily Byron. This I did from unwwingneas to blame my friend Mr. Moore, and from baring scarcely dipped into the nen sured pans of the book. Besides, I did not then believe Lady By ron to be so perfectly justifiable in the separarion as I now know her to be. Such were the circumstances under which I 'circulated among thousands the little warranty of my approbation of a work, which I find, on closer inspection, to be one of the most injudicious books that was ever published. But since that time, the state of Lircunistances has wholly changed. Lady Byron has spoken out. As her friend, I could not keep my mind quiet about her feelings under this ilLstarred resuscitation of the question concerning her. consulted several of her friends, and it was their joint opinion, that mince the ice of reserve had been broken by Lord Byron's biographer on the luckless topic, it would be the duty of Ame of her friends to ~ ay in answer to Mr. Moore something more than lady Byron could with propriety Ay for herself. A female friend offered to do this, * l ll she would have probably done it better than I can. But I could rot he such a craven as to let a woman come forward in my;place• went to lady Byron fur such general circumstances of truth as might nut involve her in accusing lord Byron. For snore particular 'm repecting the separation, I applied to a different but perfectly Athentie quarter, and there 1 learnt a few facts, which, though my A:Aden i:ted not fear that I shall inflict them on their delicacy, suffice to convince me that lady Byron was justified in the parting by eirculostarces, which lord Byron had either forgot, or, '• with all his manly candour," had failed to state to Mr. Moore. My plainness in tipewking of Mr. Moon is a compliment to his m'Portance and popularity, which would make a weak or timid re. monstrance incapable of reaching him. My interest in suffering *Oman needs no apology. found my right to speak on this painful subject on its now ins. vocable publicity, brought up afresh, as it has boo by Mr. Moore. to be the theme of discourse to millions, and, if I err not much, the cause of misconception to innumerable minds. I claim to speak of dy Byron in the lighted' a man, and of a friend to the rights of N°• 13,438. woman, and to liberty, and to natural religion. I claim a right, more especially, as one of the many friends of lady Byron, who, one and all, feel aggrieved by this production. It has virtually dragged her from the shade of retirement, where she had hid her sorrows, and compelled her to defend the heads of her friends and her parents from being crushed under the tombstone of Byron, Nay, in a general view, it has forced her to defend herself t though with her true sense, and her pure tette, she stands above all special pleading. To plenary explanation she °agile not—she never shall be driven. Mr. Moore is too much a gentleman not to shudder at the thought of that ; but if other Byronists, of a far different stamp, were to force the savage ordeal, it is her searales, and not site, that would have to dread the bunting ploughshares. We, her friends, have no wish to prolong the discussion ; but a few words we must add, even to her admirable statement—for her's, is a cause not only dear to her friends, but having become, from Mr. Moore and her misfortunes, a publicly agitated cause, it concerns morality, and the most sacred rights of the sex, that she should (and that, too, without more special explanations,) be acquitted out and out, and honourably acquitted in this business, of all sihre in the blame, which is one and indivisible. Mr. Moore, on farther reflec. tion, may see this, and his return to candour will surprise us less than his momentary deviation from its path. I write not at Lady Byron's bidding—l have never humiliated either her or myself by asking f I should write—or what I should write—that is to say, I never applied to her for information against Lord Byron ; though I was justified, as one intending to criticise to Mr. Moore, to inquire into the truth of some of his statements. — Neither will I suffer myself to be called her champion, if by that word be meant the advocate of her mere legal innocence, for that, I take it, nobody questions. Still less is it from the sorry impulse of pity that I speak of this noble woman, for I look with wonder and even envy at the proud purity of her sense and conscience, that have carried her exquisite sensibilities in triumph through such poignant tribulations. But lam proud to be called her friend—the humble illustrator of her cause, and the advocate of those principles which make it to me more interesting than Lord Byron's. Lady Byron (if the subject must be discussed) belongs to sentiment and morality —at least as much as Lord Byroo—nor is she to be suffered, when compelled to speak, to raise her soles as in a desert with no friendly voice to respond to her. %Lady Byron could not have outlived her sufferings, if she had not wound up her fortitude to the high poin of trusting mainly for consolation, not to the opinion of the world, but to her own inward peace ; and having said what ought to con vince the world, I verily believe that she has less care about the fa. shionable opinion respecting her than any of her friends can have.— But we, her friends, mix with the world, and we hear offensive ab. surdities about her which we have a right to put down. What Lady Byron professes to be her main aim in her Remarks on the Life of her husband, it seems to me that she very clearly ac complishes. lam not sure that I should feel my esteem for Byron, or for any man, much enhanced by finding that a foolish relative sr two could sever from him a wife once doathigly fond of him. 40 we have not a tittle of fair evidence against this pack of as his Lordship politely calls them ; and, to throw the blame on her pa rents is proved ridiculous by Dr. Lushington's letter, for it shows that the deepest cause, or causes, of the separation were not im. parted to her parents. I dismiss, therefore, this hinted plea of pal. Nation with contempt. I proceed to deal more generally with Mr. Moore's book. You speak, Mr. Moore, against Lord Byron's censures in a tone of indignation which is perfectly lawful towards calumnious traducers, but which will not terrify me, or any other man of courage, who is no calumniator, from uttering his mind freely with regard to this part of your hero's conduct. I think your whole theory about the unmarriageableness of genius a twaddling little hint for a compli. ment to yourself, and a theory refuted by the wedded lives of Scott and Flaxman. I question your philosophy in assuming that all that is noble in Byron's poetry was inconsistent with the possibility of his being devoted to a pure and good woman—and I repudiate your morality far canting too complacently about " the lava of his imagination," and the unsettled fever of his passions being any ex cuses for his planting the tic doloreu.r of domestic suffering in a meek woman's bosom. These ate hard words, 31r. Moore, but you have brought them on yourself by your voluntary ignorance of facts known to me—for you might, and ought to have known both sides of the question ; and if the subject was too delicate fur you to con sult Lady Byron's confidential friends, you ought to have had no. thing to do with the subject. But you cannot have submitted your book even to Lord Byton's sister, otherwise she would have set you right about the imaginary spy, Mrs. Clermont. Hence arose your misconceptions, which are so numerous, that having applied to Lady Byron (you will please to observe that I applied not for facts against Lord Byr.in, for these I got elsewhere, but for an estimate of the correctness doer statements,) I received the following letter from her Ladyship : " Dear Mr. Campbell,—ln taking up my pen to point out for your private information' those passages in Mr. Moore's repre sentation of my part of the story which were open to contradiction, I find them of still greater extent than 1 had supposed, and to deny an assertion here and there would virtually admit the truth of the rest. If, on the contrary, I were to enter into a full exposure of the falsehood of the views taken by Mr. Moore, I must detail various loaners, which. consistently with my principles and feelings, I cannot, under the existing circumstances, disclose. 1 may, perhaps, convince you better of the difficulty of the case by an example.— , It is not true that pecuniary entbarrasetneuis were the cause of the disturbed state of Lord Byron's mind, or formed the thief rea son for the arraugessents made by Aim at that time. Bet is it reasonable for use to eapcct that you, o► any one else, should be lieve this, unless I show you what were the causes ix pestion 9 and this I cannot do.' I sm, ice. NOEL Biritow." Excellent woman ! honoured by all who knew her, and injured only by:those who know her not. I will believe her on her own les. timony. What I regret most in Mr. Moore's Life of Lord Byron is, that be had in his own hands the only pure means of serving Lord Byron's character—which was his Lordship's own touching con fession ; and that be has thrown away the said means, by gar nishing that fair confession with unfair attempts at blaming others. In Letter 236, Lord Byron takes all the blame on himself. " Thelasilt, he says, teas net t no, nor even the migfortune is m/ choice (unless in choosing at all), but 1 must say it in the rery dress ilia this bitter business, th at there army- was a better, or even a kinder or more amiable and agreeable being than Lady Ityron. I never had, nor even tan have, any reproach to snake her it kite n 514 me." Now nothing in Lord Byron's poetry is finer than this. But why, Mr. Moore, have you frown the efikct of this melting mcdour by dishing up the inconsistencies of Lord Byron on the Name subject, and by showing your own ungallant indtfilrence to the thus acquitted Lady Byron ? In the name of both of them I reprove you. Byron contemn, but try to explain away his at a confession ; and by your hints unsuitableness, &c. you dirty and puddle the holy water of ledgment that alone will wash away the poor penitent mare* trameresaions.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1830. Piuvr, 71). Byron. That was true, and they never circulated any eatioir against him. There is equal injustice in thcallusion to Lord Byron having tree: , ever sutrounded by spies. What spy was near him ? The m.iv person denounced in that odious capacity by Lord Byron himself I was Mrs. Clermont ; and what was the (act with regard to her? It Mrs. Clermont was a spy, surely the last person in the world to have acquitted her would have been Mrs. Leigh, the sister of land Byron; but I have in my possession the authentic copy of a letter from Mrs. Leigh to the same Mrs. Clermont, earnestly acquittieg her of the calumny, and offering even public testimony to her ( sits. Clermont's) tenderness and forbearance (I copy Mrs. Leigh's words) under circumstances that must have been trying to any friend of Lady Byron. Another unworthy expression of Mr. Moure's is, that of calling Lord Byron " a descried husband." Let him read Lady Byron's remarks ' and blot out this absurdity from his volume. Dr. Lushington, versed in the harshest cases of justifiable separation, and bound to admit none of a slight nature, thought that it was im possible she could live with him. You should have paused. Mr. Moore, before you compelled any friend of Lady Byron to bring out this truth. It is a farther mistake on Mr. Moore's part, and I can prove it to be so, if proof be necessary, to represent Lady Byron, in the course of their courtship, as one inviting her future husband to cur respondence by letters after she hail at first refused him. She never proposed a correspondence. On the contrary, he sent her a message after that first refusal, stating that he meant to go abroad, and to travel for some years in the East; that he should depart with a heart aching, hut not angry ; and that he only begged a verbal as surance that she had still some interest in his happiness. Could Miss Milbanke, as a well-bred woman, refuse a courteous answer to such a message ? She sent him a verbal answer, which was merely kind and becoming, but which signified no encouragement that he should renew his offer of marriage. After that message he wrote to her a moat interesting letter about himself—about his views, per sonal, moral, and religious, to which it would have been uncharitable not is have replied. The result was an insensibly increasing corre. spondence, which ended in her being devotedly attached to him.— About that time I occasionally saw Lord Byron, and though I knew less of him than Mr. Moore, yet I suspect I knew as much of him as Miss Milbanke then knew. At that time he was so pleasing, that if I had a daughter with ample fortune and beauty, I should have trusted her in marriage with Lord Byron Mr. Moore at that period evidently understood Lord Byron better than either his future bride or myself ; but this speaks more for Mr. Moore's shrewdness, than for Byron's ingenuousness of cha racter. It is another improper insinuation, when Mr. Home hints at a resemblance between the first wife of Milton and the widow of Byron. The parrallel is disgustingly unfair. Of Milton's ma. tied life we know not much ; but, upon the whole, it is clear that his wife could not have got two honourable men to justify her de parture. She went away from him, to all appearance, in rashness, and returned, for her own convenience, in repentance. Lady Byron acted no such part. Produce on Mrs. Milton's part a Dr. Lushing ton to speak for her, and we will meet you in the parallel ; but be ware of the ploughshare ! It is more for Lord Byron's sake than for his widow's that I re sort not to a more special examination of Mr. Moore's misconeep dons. The subject would lead me insensibly into hateful dada sures against poor Lord Byron, who is more unfortunate in his rash defenders than his reluctant accusers. Happily his own candour turns our hostility from himself against his defenders. It was only in wayward and bitter remarks that he misrepresented Lady Byron. He would have defended himself irresistibly if Mr. Moore had left only his acknowledging p a ss ages . But Mr. Moore has produced a Life of him which blame on Lady Byron—so dexterously that more is meant than meets the ear. The almost universal im pression produced by his hook is, that Lady Byron must be a pre cise, and a wan, unwarming spirit—a blue-stocking of chilbLuned learning, a piece of insensitive goodness. Who that knows lady Byron will not pronounce her to be every thing the reverse ? Will i it be believed that this person, so unsuitably matched to her moody Lord, has written verses that would do no discredit to Byron himself —that her sensitiveness is surpassed and bounded only ny her good sense, and that she is Blest with a temper, whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as to-day. She brought to Lord Byron—beauty, manners, fortune, meekness. romantic affection, and everything that ought to have made her to the moat transendant man of genius—had he bees what he should haw been--his pride and his idol. I speak not of Lady Byron in the common-place manner of attesting character ; I appeal to the gifted Mrs. Siddons and Joanna Baillic, to Lady Charlemont, and to other ornaments of their sex, whether I am exaggerating in the least when I bay that in their whole lives they have seen few beings so intellectual and well-tempered as Lady Byron. I wish to be as ingenuous as possible in speaking of her. Her gnawer, I hare no hesitation to say, is cool at the first interview, but it is modestly, and not insolently cool. She contracted it, I believe, from being exposed by her beauty and large fortune in youth to numbers of suitors whom she could not have othet wise kept at a distance. But this manner could have had no influence with Lord Byron, for it vanishes on nearer acquaintance, and has no origin in coldness. All her friends like her frankness the better for being preceded by this reserve. This manner, however, though not the slightest apo logy for Lord Byron, has be en: inimical to Lady Byron in her mis fortune.. It endears her to her friends, but it piques the indifferent. Host odiously unjust. therefore, is Mr. Moore's assertion, that she had the advantage of Lord Byron in public opinion. Shc is, com paratively speaking, unknown to ti e world ; for though she has many friends—that is, a friend in every one who knows her—yet her pride, and purity, and misfortune', naturally contract the circle of her acquaintance. There is something exquisitely unjust in Ur. Moore comparing her chance of popularity with Lord Byron's; the poet who can command men of talents putting even Mr. Moore into the livery of his service, and who Was suborned the favour of almost all women by the beauty of his person and the voluptuous neu of his verses. Lady Byron has nothing to oppose to these fasci nations but the truth and justice of her cause. The true way of bringing off Byron from this question of his con. jugal unhappiness would be his own way, namely, to acknowledge frankly this one, and, perhape, the only one great error of his lit. Acknowledge it, and after all, what a place is still left in our minds for allowance and charily, and even for admiration of him I All men, as they arc frail and fallible beings, are concerned in palliating his fault—to a certain degree they are concerned ; trough if you reduce the standard of duty too low, the meanest man may justly refuse to sympat h iz e with your apo logy for a bad husend, and disdain to take the benefit of an invelvent act in favour of debto.s to morality. But pay the due homage to moral principle, frahley own that the child of genius is in this particular, not to be ildend.d —abstain from absolving Byron on false grounds, and ycu will do , him more good than by idle attempts at justification. Above all, keep off your sentimental mummeries from the hallowed precincts of his widow's character. There, Mr. Moore, you must not fish for compliments, or poach for the pathetic.—Byron acquitted at Lady llyron's expettse, can be taken home to no honest heart's synte pathy, though them is no saying how much the heart yearns to for. give him when there is no sophistry used in his defence. you said, Mr. Moore, that Lady Byron was unsuitable to her Load—the word is cunningly Insidious, and may mean es much or as little ss may suit your convenience. But if she was unsuitable, I remark that it idle all the worse against Lord Byron. I have Lot read it in yo,:r bosh, for I hate to wade through it • but they tell me, that you have not only warily depredated Lay Byron, but that you have described a lady that would have suited him. It' this be true, it is the unkindest cut of all—to hold up a florid des aiption of a woman suitable to Lord Byron, as if in mockery over the forlorn flower of virtue, that was droop ing in the solitude of sorrow. But I trust there is no such passage In your book. Surely you must be conscious of your woman, with her " virtue loose a'.otd her, who worth! haw suited Lord Byron," to be as iota fA7rlacry a being as tie woman without a hcad.—A woman to suit Byron ! ! !—Poo ! poo! I could paint the woman that could have watched hint, if I had not to Fay as little as possible against him. If Lady Byron was not suitable to Lord Byron, so much the worse for his Lordship,. for let me tell you, Mr. Moore, that neither your poetry, or Lord Byron's, nor all your poetry put together, ever delineated a more interesting being titan the woman whom you have so coldly treated. This was not kicking the dead lion, but wounding the living lamb, who was ah.aWy bleeding and shown even unto the quick. I know that, collectively speaking, the world is in lady Byron's favour but it is coldly favourable, and you havenot warmed its beets Time, however, canes every thing, and eves your book, Mr. Moore, may he the means of Lady By rou's character being better appreciated.

Mr. Dixon, an extensive builder, sonic time so obtained a li. cense from the Court of Aldermen to employ seventy nun-freemen ar labourers. The non-freemen were engaged, and three fret:ll.4z were empinyed with them. For a long time a warfare ha 4 prevailed between these privileged and unprivileged men. and the Litter made preparations to get rid of the former. To quarrel openly would nut answer the end proposed, so an ingenious fellow advised that a quest.. tiny of lime should be well mixed up with hot water, sod as the three freemen inn descending a ladder, a confedetate at the top threw down upon them the contents of the tub. If they had been unfortunate enough to glance upwards they would, it as believed, have positively lost their eyes. As it was, they received the white wash all over their clothes ; and, not kr.owing what sort of dose they might be served with if they remained longer to try the hu manity of their fellow-workmen, they determined to punish the persous who appeared to be the most active en the occasion. The LORD MAYOR ordered four of the non-freemen who were brought before him to find bail for the assault, which be declared to be most gross and unmanly. Yesterday Mr. Nobler, jun. applied for a summons against Mr. Dixon's foreman, foe having refused to give the three freemen work. The men raid that Mr. Dixon bad plenty of work for them, but the most positive refusal had been given to them, and they were turned out of the premises. The LORD MAYOR said he had reason to believe that the licence to employ the non-freemen had not been obtained by a very accu rate representation of facts. He believed that a few more freemen might have been obtained than were engaged, and he thought the Court of Aldermen had not been dealt candidly with on the occa sion. The conduct of Mr. Dixon, in refusing employment to those three W.treated men, aggravated the ease, and showed that the non. freemen had been encouraged to the outrage which had been corn. mitred. The foreman said his master would have no objection to employ other freemen; but with those three he would hare n o thing to do, as they had ac ted badly, and they had been only erigaged for so long as they should be serviceable. Mr. Robler said be should at once petition the Court of Alder, men for the immediate withdrawal of the license; and the parties retired. It was stated, as the case proceeded , that many tradesmen in the City have been of late compelled to call in the aid of non-freemen for work of any description. John Williams was charged with having stolen a piece of carpet ing, value 101. from the premises of Mr. Ebenezer Harvey, ware houseman, of Bow Churchyard. The brother of Mr. Harvey, upon entering the premises at about half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, missed o pit ce of carpeting which lay near the dour, and, upon going along Boeklersbury, he saw it on the shoulder of the•prisoner, whom he at once appro. hended. The prisoner told hint he would go where he pleased quietly, but, suddenly seizing his hand in his mouth, he struggkd to get away. It was all, however, in vain, Mr. Harvey held him fast, and lodged him safely in the custody of an officer. The prisoner said he could not r.n•ist the temptation of a shilling which had becu offered him to carry the carpet for a man.
