One of the most charming among the many ad mirable biographic articles adorning the columns of the Time's, immediately after the death of this or of that eminent personage, is the masterly sketch, by way of tribute to the memory of lAdy PALMERSTON, which appears this morning in our leading con- temporary. It is a companion picture to the one referred to in its opening sentence, as still conspicuous among the treasures of art banging upon the walls at Paushanger, the seat of Earl COWPER, in Hertfordshire. The portraiture in each instance is of the self-same iudividual—E3llLY MARY (the gimes calls her AMELIA), daughter of the first Vis count MELBOURNE, and wife successively of the fifth Earl COWPER, and of the third Vis count PALMERSTON. The painting at Panshanger, which i 3 from the master-hand of S r JOSHUA REYNOLDS, represents the great lady, recently de ceased, as she appeared in her earliest childhood, as a blooming little lassie, carrying in her hand a basket of flowers, and grouped there (in the picture of Sir JosimA) with her two brothers, WILLIAM and FREDERICK LAMB, afterwards respectively second and third Viscount MELBOURNE—the elder of the two for nearly seven consecutive year Prime Minister cf TILE SUN, LONDON, ' England, and as such, it may be added here, with the simplest truth, the political " guide, philosopher, and and friend" of the reigning Sovereign. The written and printed sketch, which appears in the Times of this rooming, and which, as a matter of course, appears there anonymously, presents to our view, on the other hand, the great lady as she was in our recent rememembrance. There is an interval of a long life-time between the two por traitures. A lapse of very nearly eighty years between the time when the pretty child stood before the great painter, with the basket of flowers in her hand, to have her picture taken, and the moment w h en the venerable lady breathed her last, at mon than the age of an octogenarian. Born in 1781', married to Lord COWPER in 1805, married to Lord PALMERSTON in 1839, dead only the other day at the age of eighty-three—that is the simple chronolo gical outline of a career which has been sketched in with so many delicate and most felicitous touches by the skilled hand which has, just now, in the columns of our contem porary, drawn the very " counterfeit presentment" of Lady PALMERSTON'. Admirably effective and subtlj discriminative as that limning of her life and character is undoubtedly as .a whole, it nevertheless appears to us as though it accorded in one sense but scant justice to the inimitable tact, the incompar able discretion, the exquisite womanly adroitness with which Lady PALMERSTON, in the later years of her life, aided, and abetted, and ministered to, and fur thered, and enhanced by her refined co-operation the immense and, in the end, the unrivalled political in fluence of her illustrious husband, in whose grave, in Westminster Abbey, side by side with him, her remains are to-morrow to be solemnly interred. Smooth sail ing though it was in the end—with Lord PAL MERSTON, during the days of his Premiership—he had led a life of extraordinary difficulty. He was for many years the subject of persistent political cabals, a centre towards which the shafts of envies and jealou sies innumerable, were, during those years, unceasingly directed—through the midst of which, while himeell battling his way manfully against all opposition— entering the lists always, as Lord LYTTON has sung of him, " no vizor to his helm"—his incomparable wife, his true helpmate in all the toils and difficulties of life, was ever there, not only ready to aid, but aiding him with a perfect and exquisite dex terity. Married in 1839, Lord PALMERSTON was then Foreign Secretary in the Government of Lady PALMERSTON'S brother, WILLIAM, Viscount MELBOURNE. Within . two years after that marriage Lord MELBOURNE'S Cabinet was broken up. Between 1841 and 1846, Lord PALMERSTON was in opposition. He might have taken office again as Foreign Secretary at the turn of the years 1815 and 1816, only that Lord GREY refused to accept office if Lord PALMER STON resumed the Foreign Portfolio. After a six month's prolongation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Govern ment, Lord GREY waived his objection, it is true, and Lord PALMERSTON once more became Foreign Secre tary. But who remembers not the sequel ? Who does not recollect how, after dealing, as only a consummate Master of Diplomacy like Lord PALMERSTON could have dealt, with the anxieties of Portugal, with the Swiss difficulty, with the stupendous revolutionary hurricanes that swept over Europe in 1818, with the complicated imbroglio of the following year with the Spanish Government, with the Greek Question in all its entanglement, with the Hungarian-war embar rassment, and what not besides—Lord PALMERSTON became a mark for all the suspicions, distrusts, and consequent insinuations of the principal among the tyrannical courts of the European continent ; how he became the target also at home, here iu England, for the hostilities of an implacable coalition of personal and political antagonists—until, at length, a formal motion for the iinpreachment of his whole policy was proposed and was carried in the House of Lords ! No doubt the House of Commons, when appealed to, rejected that same motion for im peachment. No doubt Lord PALMERSTON delive:-ed, then and there, during that debate, the one great ~peech of his life. No doubt Sir ROBERT PEEL magnanimously exclaimed in his regard, " We are all proud of him !" and the Reuse rang with cheers, and Lord PALMERSTON'S fair fame fur the time being was triumphantly vindicated. But—on the 2lth of December, 1851, twenty-two days after the coup cre'tat of the future Emperor, NAPOLEON 111., Lord PALMER STON was summarily dismissed from the Secretaryship of State for Foreign Affairs, never again to resume power at the centre of our diplomatic system in his capacity as our English TALLEYRAND. Later on, of course, he was magnificently avenged, when the Prime Minister by whom he had been dismissed, thus summarily, himself took office under his (Lord PeeersesTosi's) own Premiership. He was avenged, too, in finding thepas of precedeuce accorded to him, as it were, by acclamation, by all the great, rival parties. in the Lords, and in the Commons, and iu the coun try and by all the other leading statesmen of the age— the Premiership, in a manner being accorded to him self, so to speak, for life, in point of fact, ending, as it did, only with the natural termination of his own exist ence. Through all the stormy anxieties of his political career—it is only justice to the memory of the great lady recently deceased that we should remember— he was iu a very great measure, he was certainly iu a very appreciable measure, sustained and heartened by the sympathetic and active co-operation of the partner of his life, the clever, graceful, charming, loved and honoured EMILY MARY, Viscountess PAL MERSTON. WITHIN a very recent period two of our royal princes have been visiting American waters. The whole American continent separated them, and they had reached their destination by opposite routes, the one having journeyed to the Pacific by the eastern seas, the other having reached British America by the Atlantic. Queen VICTORIA'S sons bid fair to be the best travelled men in the world. Some one of them is always on the wing. As travel is a very good, though a very costly means of education, this love of locomotion on the part of those who can afford to gratify their inclination is a matter of satisfaction. The younger of the two princes appears to have conducted himself with much good sense and discretion, and our American fellow-sub jects have been quite enthusiastic about the lad. Prince ARTHUR'S brother has also been the hero of what is called an a ovation "at Honolulu. We read of assemblies and dances, and of a shower of bouquets nearly overwhelming the Duke of EDINBURGH as he took his departure. Unfortunately, a telegram bringing later information speaks of a less satis factory visit to Tahiti. That island is virtually a French colony, and the telegram states that Lis Royal Highness treated the French officers with such discourtesy as to arouse general indignation. It was but a few weeks before this that some rather strongly worded complaints reached s from the Antipodes. During his visit there, eighteen months ago, the DUKE was idolised to a degree amazing to us, with whom royalty is no novelty. Ilis narrow escape from assassination made this enthusiasm burn still higher, and the flame was nourished by the liberal presents which his Royal Highness bestowed on his guests. The information that these presents were charged in our estimates, and that the DeTKr. had been n_crely liberal with the money of the British taxpayer, somewhat damped the colonial ardour. A more serious matter was the conduct of the Prince towards the Maories. We need scarcely remind our readers of the feud which exists between a portion of that race and the English colonists, nor point out how important it is that advantage should be taken of every opportunity which offers to improve the Fels tion4 between the two ram, Neve#heleos, when ►'YEtINESDAY EVENING, SEP f ; IIIBER 15, 1869 certain friendly Maori chiefs had an interview with the DUKE, he quickly grew impatient of their long harangues, and dismissed them with speeches cut short, and with tempers anything but placid. Thus a golden opportunity was lost of establishing a friendly feeling between the Maories and the English. How sorely every such opportunity needed to be used may be gathered from the last news that has reached us from New Zealand. The rebellion has, it is said, become more formidable than ever, and the utmost • - alarm prevails. We make these remarks, not in order to find fault, but in order to depre2,ate the repetition of this sort of blunder in a country where it would be most disastrous. At the close of the present year the Duke of EDINBURGH is to make a tour of India. Great preparations are being carried out for his reception. At the same time no little apprehension is felt in official circles as to the result of this visit. At present, so far as Anglo-Indians are informed, the DUKE'S sole idea is tiger-hunting. This is a fine, noble sport, doubtless, and infinitely superior to the pigeon-shooting which is now the fashionable amusement of our aristocracy at home. But the DUKE is not a private person ; he is the representative of the QUEEN—the " Empress of India "—and as such his mother's subjects will expect him to take a royal part in State ceremonials. The native Indians are fond of these ceremonials to a degree that is most wearisome to the English mind, and it is feared that the DUKE'S patience, which could not bear the slight strain of Maori eloquence, will fail more completely under the more severe trial of Indian durbars. Most unfortunately the Indian mind just now is very unfavourably disposed towards the highest class in England. Some young noblemen have lately visited India and brought discredit upon the English name. We'all know. what a dreadful crea ture the English snob is, and how, though odious beyond bearing in his own country, he is infinitely worse when he crosses the twenty miles of sea that lie between England and France. He is incur ably and radically bad. Moreover there are snobs of all nations, although the Anglo-Saxon snob, whether here or in America, is the most insufferable. But we do not expect to find him among the Upper Tan Thousand. We expect that our patricians, what ever faults they may have, will at least be gentlemen. And that expectation is very rarely deceived. In India, however, certain young men of high rank have of late not only "burst all links of habit," but laid aside the garments of decency. The result has been most deplorable. The Indians, believing that these are courtiers, the chosen companions of royalty, have made the remark "if these are so wicked the QUEEN must be more wicked." It is impoisible for any loyal subject of our good and virtuous sovereign not to feel the deepest indignation at those who have thus brought reproach on the royal name. It is now for the QUEEN'S son to remove this reproach. If he will only remember that he is a royal prince as well as a good shot, he may re-establish VICTORIA in the powerful native imagination as the best of sove reigns. If he will not do this; if he will skew to the quick-sighted Indians—and no race are quicker of sight than they—that he is bent only upon his own pleasure, he had much better leave India unvisited. 1769 was a remarkable year. It saw the birth of the steam engine, of the first NAPOLEON, and of ALEXANDER HUMBOLDT. The first event was noticed at the British Association by the PRESIDENT, the second has been recently commemorated in France, the third was the occasion of high festival in Germany yesterday. FRIEDERICII HElNnicil kLEXANDER BARON VON HUMBOLDT was born at Berlin, September 14, in the above-mentioned year, and was son of the Chamberlain to the Kink FREDF nicic of Prussia, called by some men the Great, and worshipped by Mr. CARLYLE. There was another son, \VILIIELM by name, two years the senior of ALEX ANDER, and who would have been a great man had not his fame been dwarfed and overshadowed by that of his illustrious junior. During his university career ALEXANDER sheaved that love of science which was to make him the prince of savans. He made scientific tours through Belgium, Holland, France, and England, and he pUblished his first work when . . lie was 24 years old. Having studied at the School of Mines—Prussia was a century before England in that respect—he was appointed to an office in the mining department. But the love of travel was so strong in him that he threw up his appointment. He spent a short time with GoETHE and SCHILLER at Jena; then some time with the Paris savans; and at last obtained'his long-cherished desire—permis sion from the Spanish Government to visit all the Spanish settlements in America and the Indian Ocean. Ile had long yearned to see nature in her wildest, grandest, and most luxuriant character ; long sighed for the tropics with their tropical vegetation, huge rivers, and burning mountains. He sailed from Corunna, ascended the Peak of Teneriffe, and dis embarked at Curnana, in South America. Five years he spent in exploring Central America, then under the Spanish yoke. He was not a mere traveller. He was not even merely a recorder of physical phenomena. He had a mind to arrange as well as an eye to discern. He not only made most careful observations, but he reduced them to system. They were the elements out of which he may almost be said to have created a new world. With ordinary men this great accumulation of facts, filling twenty nine volumes, would have been a chaos; out of them HUMBOLDT educed " Kosmos." After a short visit to the United States he returned to Europe and took up his abode in Paris in order to publish his works; the disturbed state of his own country for bade the publication of them there. After being employed on diplomatic service for a time, he returned to Prussia, and in the winter of 1827-28 delivered those famous lectures which were after wards republished in the volume that has immor talised his name—" Kosmos." In 1829 he again became a traveller, and, though CO years of age, explored the inhospitable Ural Mountains, the Caspian Sea, and part of China. This expedition led to many discoveries respecting the earth's mag netism, and it was at his suggestion that magnetic and meteorological stations were established from St. Petersburg to Pekin, and also in the Southern hemisphere. His labours were not confined to any one department, of science. He • was geologist, botanist, anatomist; astronomer; nieteorologist. - The whole realm of Nature was his province. It was for this reason that he was so great. It is comparatively easy to attain celebrity in any one or two branches of science, but the man who does merely this must be somewhat narrow, cannot have the grand views l i that HUMBOLDT had, cannot have formed the same comprehensive view of Nature that he formed. Nor was he concerned only with the physical world. We have already mentioned that he was employed on diplomatic service during the great war. his assistance was again asked by his Sovereign in 1830 when Prussia recognised the revolution of the Three Days. Subsequently he accompanied the King in his journeys to England and Denmark. The latter portion of TIU - MBOLDT'S long life was spent at Berlin, the city of his birth. Some idea of his activity, and of the esteem in which ho was held, may be gathered from the fact that he used to receive 100,000 letters a year. He died at last, in 1859, at the good old age of 90, full of vigour, and honoured as no other German had been since GOETHE. Already Germany is commemorating him. There is no tardiness in this case, although there are few men whose fame would better stand the test of delay than ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT.

The Royal mail steamer Atrato, with the above mails, 92 passengers, $660,000 in specie, and 2,282 parcels of cargo, has arrived here. Her dates are —Valparaiso, August 3 ; Callao, 13th ; Panama, 24th; Jamaica, 27th; and St. Thomas, 31st. The Atrato had two cases of yellow fever since leaving St. Thomas, the third officer and stewardess, Mrs . . Moore. The latter died on the night of the 126, but the third officer is convalescent. The Atrato was detained in quarantine, and has been sent to the Motherbank. She left here at 8 a.m. with Captain Revett ill with low fever and ague. Seve ral cases of Chagres fever had occurred among the crew during the passage. The passengers were all well throughout. The mails were landed here, and 58 sacks were forwarded by the 8.40 train.

The A trato was detained at Colon until noon on August 21, waiting the arrival of the San Francisco steamer, which had not reached Panama when the Atrato left. The Atrato experienced fine weather the first part of the homeward voyage from St. Thomas, and then strong north-westerly gales and heavy -sea. At Valparaiso business had slightly improved ; transactions, however, were limited, holders refus ing to meet the market. The last quotations of freight were firm, but arrivals of tonnage were con siderable. The Chilian President has been autho rised to negociate a loan of four million dollars for the railway extensions. The Archbishop of San tiago and three diocesan Bishops have resolved at tending the (Ecumenical Council at Rome. The Senate have voted $20,000 for the Bishops' expenses. The removal of the Chilian Legation from London to Paris is approved of in Chili, the prin cipal reason being that England is not imitating France in accrediting a Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to Chili. Callaognano charters are rather dull, the Government having raised guano to £l3 per ton. Sugar and nitrate freights are a dead letter.

A fire of a rapidly destructive character broke out in the extensive premises of Mr. Richard Henry Appleton, merchant, known as the Stockton Cla rence Steam Flour Mills, situate on Norton-road, on Sunday night, at a few minutes to twelve o'clock. The fire brigade and a body of police were on the ground a short time afterwards. There was a very good supply of water, but the pressure was nothing like sufficient to reach the building to any height. The flames leaped high, and belched out of the numerous windows, and in about half an hour after the discovery of the fire the roof fell in, carrying away the charred floors and joists, and throwing large pieces of firey rubbish in all directions. As to the origin of the fire there seems to be some mystery, but those whose business it was to look after the premises state that it was left all safe at nine o'clock on Sa turday. Very little grain was saved, but fortu dately for the sufferer the books and documents were protected in one of Milner's fire-proof safes. The damage to stock, consisting of grain, &c., and • property is estimated at from £12,000 to £14,000' The building, a noble structure, was only completed a year ago. POLICE .11VTELLIGE.NCE.-71ris Day. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. DESERTING PROM THE SHIP CORNWALL. —John Gilbert, a thick set fellow, was charged with absconding from the ship Cornwall at Purfleet before the expiration of a sen tence passed upon him by the magistrate at the Marl borough-street Police-court. Police-constable Holman, 37 C R, proved taking the prisoner into custody, and, on telling him the charge he admitted having deserted from the ship, and said he would do so again. The prisoner said ho deserted because ho was starved and flogged for nothing. The father of the prisoner said that the prisoner told him that he bad swam two miles and a half to get away. Inspector Browning said the prisoner gave a bad account of his treatment on board the ship; but he did not believe him, as other lads who had returned from the ship gave a very good account of it. Mr. Knoz said the prisoner would be committed for a mouth, and then sent back to the ship. THAMES. A MEAN THlEF. —Frederick Cramer, a German sugar baker, 36 years, was charged with stealing a cloth coat, value 7s. 6d., the property of Johann Soling, and a coat and vest, value Bs., the property of Heinrich Groner. The prisoner, a miserable looking fellow, had been in the practice of robbing his fellow-workmen where he had been living, and in sugar refineries where he had been em ployed. He was living in the same dwelling as Snling , who missed a coat. Groner, who was living in Clifton street, Finsbury, left in the care of his landlord, to whom he was indebted for rent, a box containing all the c:othes and other property he had in the world except the suit he stood upright in. The poor man after a long absence waited on his landlord last week, and upon opening his box missed a cast and waistcoat. The prisoner who then lived in the same house was suspected, and was taken into custody. He then Said ho had sold the coat at a rag-shop for a shilling, and tho waistcoat was at home. The other coat was pawned for ss. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and offered no excuse for robbing his countrymen. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a very dangerous thief, and had been in the practice of going into poor mon's lodgings and stoaling their clothes. There was no doubt ho would not be employed again in any sugar house, and that his countrymen would not associate with him any moro. He sentenced the prisoner to throe months' imprisonment and hard labour. A board of officers, consisting of Col. Elrington (4th battalion Rifle Brigade), president; Lieut.- Col. Pearson (2d battalion 3d Buffs), and Lieut.- Col. Walker (2d battalion Rifle Brigade), mem bers, assembled at the Controller's Office, Alder shott, on Monday, to examine and select for trial some water bottles of new pattern for use in the army. Yesterday the 67th (South Hampshire) Regi ment, at Aldershott, struck its tents at Rushmoor bottom, and went into quarters in the West Cavalry Barracks. C Battery, B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Capt. F. T.

The 26th . company Royal Engineers, Capt. Percy Smith, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Malta. On Tuesday morn ing a small detachment of the company, who were pronounced unfit for foreign service, left Weymouth barracks for Cork, where they will be handed over to the 12th company, and these will be followed on Friday by a similar party, whose destination is the Curragh Camp, where they will be handed over to the 28th company. The 28th company have had nearly'an eight years' stay in the town. The 2d battalion 2d (the Queen's) Regiment, after a stay of 14 months at Aldershott, is being moved to Gosport forts and barracks. Four com panies left camp on Monday, two companies pro ceeding to Fort Fareham and two companies to Gosport barracks. Two companies proceeded yes terday to Fort Elson. Three more companies wil leave to-day for Gosport barracks, and the head quarters and the remaining company for Fort Elson to-morrow.

Another story of the causes which led to the separation )f Lord from Lady Byron is given in the New York " George, the Count of Johannes," of the • 'Supreme Court of New York, founds a right to claim the privilege of establishing the falsity of the charge' drought by Mrs. Stowe against Lord Byron on long personal acquaintance with Mrs. Leigh, with the' Countess Guiccioli, and with the late Lord Harrington,' formerly Colonel Leicester Stanhope, the intimate friend of Lord Byron. The writer starts by denouncing Mrs. Stowe's narrative as an atrocious libel, is by no means complimentary to her generally, and is critical upon her inaccuracy as to dates in this matter in particular. He would have it that one day Lord Byron said he was sorry Mary Chaworth was unhappy in her marriage. "Had we married (he added) it might have been different." Upon this sighing remark Lady Byron instantly arose, and in great anger uttered these fatal words : ' Mary Chaworth rejected you for your deformity, as I did once ; and it had been better if I had still rejected a man with A devil's foot ! ' and with those words she left the apart ment. To Lord Byron, sensitive as the quivering aspen leaf upon that very fact of his deformity—his curse of life,' as he once said to Trelawney—those words were as daggers in the breast of love, estem, of respect ; and from that moment they were as strangers. Each kept their own apartments, and each sought those friends best entitled to advise. Lady Byron sent for her former governess, who was the cause of Miss Millbanke's previous rejection of Lord Byron. She came, and of course took sides with her former pupil, over whose mind she had great influence. Then the poet sent for Augusta, his half•sieter. The first resolution of the brother upon the arrival of his sister was that he would separate from his wife, and by a legal document to that effect. This resolution was successfully resisted by the Hon• Mrs. Leigh, upon the ground that, as Lady Byron seas enceinte, and in a few months would become a mother, should the husband separate before the birth, it might cast a reproach, upon the child. This argument was con clusive ; Lord Byron, therefore, determined to remain until after the birth, and then, upon the convalescence of the mother, to separate, at least for a time. As Lady Byron was prone to be jealous, It was no difficult matter to create that .feeling towards Augusta, and finally to arouse a criminal snspicion, instigated by the governess, who urged the fact that the Hon. Mrs. Leigh was only the half-sister of the poet. This poissnous suggestion having entered the brain of Lady Byron, it permeated her intellect until she became upon that false idea a mono - maniac, and thus Ahe lived and so she died. The same writer gives an entirely different account of the last interview between Lord and Lady Byron :--- Lord Byrori left his own room and went into that, of Lady Byron's to •take farewell of his wife and (laugh' ter, and he had sent word to that effect. There were present the father, mother, and infant child (the nnrse left upon his entrance). The husband received into his arms " Ada Augusta," kissed ber with deep emotion, and wept. He took the hand of hie weeping wife, and, while thus situated, he said, with a deep Sigh, the words of his favourite author, Shakspere, 'When shall we three meet again?' to which the wife responded, On earth, I hope.' Lord Byron replied, 'ln heaven, I trust ;' and those were his last words toper , as lie gave back the infant to its mother, and silently and slowly left the chamber. As to 'Lady Byron's caress' ing the spaniel,' &c., it is fiction, and well it might be, sinc e the spaniel was a large dog of the Mont St. Bernard breed, and always at night guarded his master's door, as formerly when at Newstead." Lord Byron is also stated to have denied the imputation against him on his death bed to Colonel Leicester Stal l ; hope. '" Within his dying hour Lord Byron requeste all to leave the Chamber except Colonel the Hon. Leice s. ter Stanhope. The poet then knew that he was dying' and said to his friend, 'Stanhope, I wish you to tak° charge of my dead b o dy t o E ng l an d. S ee th a t it i s buried in the grave of my mother. Stanhope, I declare to you, at this solemn moment, that the former accusation by Lady Byron against me and my faithful sister wit: " A lie, an odious, damned lie ! Upon my soul, a wick et ' lie ! and so defend us when again assailed." Colonel Stanhope took the hand of his dying friend and said; 'Byron, the name of Augusta being added to that 0 ' Ada at the baptism of your daughter, and at the reque st of Lady Byron, as told me by your sister, dispersed that slander for ever; but if you would be happier, sel l( ' your dying declaration by your confidential valet' Fletcher, and ordered him to see Lady Byron with Your death denial.' I will do so,' said the dying P° et ,; ' Send Fletcher to me. God bless you, Stanhope. Of al l men you I best love. You will live to see the freedom °I this classic land when I shall be no more. Adieu !" C ol , ° ‘ nel Stanhope bade adieu to his f r i e nd f or ever , an d witiu ll half-an-hour thereafter Fletcher was at the bedside of his dying master. Then took place the oft-repeat ed broken sentences cited by Mrs. Stowe and others, but ne w explained by the previous interview with Colonel Stau. hope : Go to my sister—tell her- go to Lady you will see her, and say '—here his voice failed from e% .. haustion. But, had he power, who can doubt but the dying man would have repeated to his faithful valet wlu it he had already declared to his faithful friend." " John Robertson" writes :—" Lady Noel BYt ell a resided, on and off, many years at Brighton, au her circle of friends very closely coincided with 0 '. 7 own. For most of these years I h ear d b u t of one cr ime of which she accused her dead husband, but latterif of two, which need not be named. Six or seve ll , persons more or less known to me received her corninUei. cations, three of whom were Americans. Her commu ni : tions wore not given as secrets, but, on the contrarY, facts to be used for the defence of her conduct, charac ter ' or memory. Some of these pe r sons r e ceived tho u t.

No one, I told her, had aright to rer; er such charges, except as decisions of courts of law. I ds stories differed ; her narratives and meroor sll , lo were given away right and left.
