Sir,—That 45 years after an early death in a foreign country the memory of one of our greatest poets should be at the mercy of Mrs. Beecher Stowe, writing in a monthly magazine, is surely—be the facts what they may—a hard and ungenerous fate. Lord Byron has been dead nearly half a century. His wife, against whom no graver charge than that of hardness or narrowness was ever attempted to be brought, is no longer living to modify or corrobo rate a narrative which she herself always with he'd. Is it fair, is it dignified, in a woman of consider able mark to disturb the slumber of reconciliation in which the public would have gladly acquiesced, and to brand a great defenceless name in the interest of one whose only interest now could be peace? Only the other day our greatest Latin scholar did what in him lay to remove or palliate an old standing blot on the memory of Julius Cmsar. That was a nobler and a better task than this latest disturbance of an unquiet grave—a distur bance not called for by justice ; for none capable of judging ever doubted that Lady Byron's provo cations were great and grievous—and sure not to be successful, forßyron's memory will remain where it was. That a man should in 1816 have been the villain which we are asked to believe that Byron was, and should then have lived on till 1824, producing what Byron produced between those dates, involves a psychological miracle which it will take a greater than Mrs. Beecher Stowe to confirm. Why can't we say our Requiescant once for all, without fidget ting over the troubles of the wife and trying to bring matters right by blasting the poet's name ? Your obedient servant, It M. M. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln her article on the " True Story of Lady Byron's Life," Mrs. Stowe alleges that for two years after the discovery of his incestuous intrigue Lady Byron did not separate from her husband. It follows that the married life of Lord and Lady Byron lasted more than two years. Now, in the letter which Mrs.lStowe quotes, Lady Byron herself states that she left London on the 15th of January, 1816. This was the date of her final separation from Lord Byron. The marriage between Lord Byron and Miss Milbanke was solemnized on the 2d of January, 1815. I leave Mrs. Stowe to explain the system of com putation by which she has arrived at the conclusion that the interval between the 2d of January, 1815, and 15th of January, 1816, consisted of more than four-and-twenty months.—Your obedient servant., 1-1. F. London, Aug. 31. On Monday the finding and sentence of a district court-martial, which had assembled at Aldershott for the trial of Private Charles Hill, 2d battalion 2d (Queen's) Royal Regiment, were promulgated. The prisoner was charged with loading his rifle and using threatening expressions towards a com rade named John Keen. It appears that about the middle of last month some words passed between Hill and Keen in the barrack-room, Hill clubbed his rifle, and was about to strike Keen with the butt end, but was prevented by a comrade. He then swore that he would "die for" ° Keen. Subsequently Hill's rifle was found loaded, and on examination of his ammunition it was ascertained that ten rounds of ball cartridge were in his pouch and nine rounds in his fatigue trousers pocket, thus showing that he had abstracted a round. H e was immediately confined, and but for this seasonable watchfulness probably another murder would have been added to the already black list of military offences. The Court found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to undergo an imprisonment, with hard labour, for a period of 672 days, but in consequence of the absence of former convictions against him, and the general good character he had previously borne, half the term of the sentence was remitted. Yesterday 56 men, volunteers from the 4th Bat talion 60th Rifles, marched from Aldershot en route to Winchester, there to join the depot of the regi ment, and remain with it until required to join the Ist, 2d, and 3d Battalions, for which they volun teered. These men were supernumerary men in the 4th Batalion, and were about to be discharged ; but the War-office authorities decided otherwise by permitting them to volunteer for the other battalions of the same regiment, RAILWAYS.—PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY.-A morose, heavy-looking fellow, who gate the name of Robert Hunt, aged 22, of the thieves colony, Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Frederick Chapman, a young man, in High-street, Whitechapel, yesterday after noon. Tho prosecutor was in the roadway looking at some horses, when the prisoner came up to him, and in the most deliberate manner took his watch out of his pocket and untwisted the bow. The prisoner ran away with the watch before the young man could recover from his surprise, and retreated into a narrow court, called Half-moon Passage where the prosecutor overtook him and seizA him. The prisoner immediately handed the watch to a confederate behind him, who ran away with it. _ _ Mr. Benson—l shall remand the prisoner for a week. The prisoner, who made a pretence to cry, said pray settle it here sir, t am guilty, pass sentence on me at once. Mr. Benson.—No, I shall not do any such thing. In quiries must be made about you. This is a very daring street robbery. Roche, the gaoler.—Where did you get the name of Robert Hunt from ? The prisoner.—lt's my father's name, sir. Roche.—No it is not. You have a different name every time you come here, The prisoner was then locked up. WESTMINSTER. A CURIOUS AFFAIR.—Sarah Taylor was charged on a warrant with assaulting Mr. Thos. Butler, of 147, Vaux hall-bridge. The prosecutor, a person of sanctimonious appearance said to be a son of a clergyman, deposed that on Friday night ho was near Victoria Station, and was assaulted by the prisoner. Another woman, since apprehended, and a man who threw stones and filth at him, and hurt him severely. Prisoner denied the charge altogether, and said she knew the prosecutor; he was always about the station, and owed her 30s, which she asked him for. Mr. Arnold said Mr. Butler seemed to be keeping very bad company and loitering about Victoria Station late at night ; the police had seen him there. He remanded the prisoner till Tuesday, and would take her own recogni zance for her appearance. Lieutenant-General Sir George Buller, G.C.8., commanding the South-Western District, accom panied by his Staff, comprising Lieutenant. Colonel Willis, D.Q.G. ; Major Barker, D.A.Q.G. ; Major Breton, Town Major; Colonel M'Kenzie, A.D.C., and Lieutenant Fitzgerald, A.D.C., crossed over from Portsmouth to Gosport yesterday for the pur pose of holding his annual inspection of the Royal Marine Light Infantry. The corps was drawn up in line under the command of Colonel-Commandant Aslett, in the drill field opposite the barracks at Forton. The General arrived at 12 o'clock, and was received with a general &ditto, after which he minutely inspected the men. This was followed by the customary march past and a variety of ma noeuvres, to test the efficiency of the corps in the field, with the whole of which the General expressed his approbation. The price of corn at Mark-lane to-day remain as quoted on Monday. We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Egerton, M.P., by sunstroke. The event Qecurred at DaYaUo, North Italy, on Sauk , Lot, PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. TUESDAY. The opening of the great debate in the Senate is now close at hand, and the attention of our politicians is becoming centred upon it. I have been told that the President of the Senate has communicated to several members his intention of taking an active part in the debate. Whether this be welcome intelligence or no must depend on the degree of faith which constitutional Reformers put in M. Rouber's recent conversion to Liberalism. Paris is the stronghold of polite _scepticism, and the ex-Minister is thought over here to be looking rather to his own restoration to power, in case of possible eventualities, than to the immediate satisfaction of the popular wishes. I hear that the amendment of M. Sartiges's, which has been already discussed and rejected by the commission, will reappear in the course of the de bate, when it will not be so easily disposed of. M. Sar tige's amendment is designed, as you may remember, to modify the effects of a possible collision between the Chambers. It allots to the Corps L6gislatif one part of the Constitutional power, and it provides that all points at issue between the two Houses shall be decided by a mixed commission of Senators and Deputies. If the public are not to be allowed to listen to the discussion in which they take so deep an interest, the Deputies will be more fortunate, and places are being reserved for them in the Chaniher. As soon as possible after the ns of the ceestitetional refoims, these gentlemen are to Lc called upon to resume their latuuts in their own proper province. It will not Le too soon, for a good deal of im patience exists on the subject, the Senate being certainly rot regarded as the exponent of popular sympathies. Wh;ther or no the Senate proves able to retain the lion's share of authority in the Constitution it is evident that the power and influence of the Corps Ugis latif are steadily augmenting. The article of the Senatus-Consultuna, which permits the office of deputy to be compatible with the exercise of Ministerial functions has created no little excitement among politicians IN ho are already discussing their chances of election. M. Gressier has been talked of as a candidate for Semme, in the room of M. Seneca, who will be raised to the Senate, and General Lebeeuf will, it is said, come forward for Orne, where the new Minister of War has been staying for the last few days. All the Ministers are in Paris, and will be present at the opening of the debate. Some important financial measures are, I under stand, in contemplation, including a considerable reduction in the duty on beverages in the Paris Octroi. A new kind of transport ship has just been making her trial trip in the Canal Saint-Denis. It is armed with only one gun, of very large calibre, and furnished with a double screw, which allows the vessel to turn with great rapidity. The accounts of the Emperor's health are more and more satisfactory, and it is officially declared that the only thing from which he now suffers is weakness. This is not surprising, considering that he has been so seriously indisposed for twenty-one days. The Moniteur states that yesterday morning the Emperor got up at eleven o'clock, and prepared to work all day with the head of the Cabinet, M. Contd. It appears, however, that public confidence cannot easily be restored, and the anxiety which prevails respecting the health of the Emperor has been so great that the subject forms the prevailing topic of conversation. The doctors in attendance persist in their former statement that the Emperor was not once in danger during the whole course of his illness. The great desire which his Majesty feels to resume his arduous duties has retarded his recovery, and it is reported that he said to a homoeopathic doctor who came to him, that he could not be idle, and must be set up again at the risk of a relapse afterwards. The Empress, does not seem in a hurry to return, which circumstance might well serve to reassure the public, but it is easier to create a panic than to allay it, and it will be some time before the occurrences of last Friday are forgotten. The Empress and the Prince Imperial will have delight ful recollections of their Corsican journey, and nothing seems to have been wanting to make it a complete success. In expectation of the visit of the Empress to Constanti- nople some curious arrangements have been made. It is said that a couple of ladies who can speak French will be placed in attendance on the illustrious visitor, and that a Catholic chapel will be formed in the palace of Beglerbe. It will be strange to see such an erection in the house of the Commander of the Faithful. General Todleben, the famous Russian tactician, has Announced his intention of coming to Paris in order to study the new military organisation and the French progress in the art of war. The Emperor was too indisposed to receive General Prim in his passage through Paris, en route for Vichy, but it is believed that the recep tion will take place on the General's return. THE MEMPHIS AND EL PASO RAILROAD. We have heard a great deal on the subject of Gen. Fremont's introduction of the Memphis and El Paso Pacific Railway Bonds into the Paris money market. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times coupled the proceedings in Paris with the Mari posa swindle, and some strong remarks have been made in censure of alleged false statements by the New York papers. Inquiry is showing that there is much misapprehension on the subject in the minds of the people. It appears tha: - , communica tions having reached the State Department through Minister IVashburne relative to this railroad, cate gorical answers have been returned which might have been saved the department if any one in the French metropolis had filed a paper containing the proceedings in Congress even to the extent done in this, or would refer to the full summary of Con gressional proceedings given in Appleton's Annual Cyclopedia, although both that book and our paper are too recent for transactions which occurred many years ago. A certificate by the Clerk of the House of Representatives sets forth that that House passed a bill by a large majority, granting to the company the right of way through the public domain, but that no subsidy was asked for or granted. In the Senate the House Bill was presented by Mr. Morton, who urged immediate action, but the Chairman of the Committee on Public Railroads, as we last week showed, got hold of the bill and kept it in spite of Mr. Morton and the majority of the Chamber. It is quite clear that Congress is desirous of forward ing the views of the company, and that it will meet with very earnest support in the South is of course beyond doubt. The president of the railroad com pany adds to the above papers a certificate that the company has been regularly organized, and has received large grants of land from the State of Texas, but it did not ask for anything (nor would it under Grant's Administration get any thing if it now asked), and therefore could not have received anything from the United States Govern ment except the right of way. The line was one of the three recommended by the Committee which sat be fore the war, audits route is among those marked on the official map of the United States and territories, published under the direction of the Hon. J. S. Wilson, Commissioner of the Public Lands, The line crosses Arkansas, starting from the right bank of the Missis sippi, opposite Memphis, and entering Texas close to thelndian Territory, continuing to the Rio Grande at El Paso, just below New Mexico, where it enters the State of Chihuahua, and reaches through So nora the Gulf of California. This is, as it is thereon marked, but we are not aware what the company now propose for its extension beyond El Paso. Along the Red River Valley the land is, we believe, very fertile, and there are well-grassed rolling table lands as it approaches the Rio Pecos° ; but the country then becomes barren, with coarse grass and no water; sands, salt springs, salt lakes, and salt plains. The Southern route has always been a favourite, for the simple reason that the country is open all the year; that it is shorter, and, on the whole that the land is more fertile; and Memphis is undoubtedly a good railway centre from which to start, not only commanding the enormous naviga tion opened by the Mississippi, but communicating with all parts of the Atlantic coast by rail. If the prospectus published in Paris, of which we do not recollect to have seen a copy, asserted that the United States guaranteed the bonds, or gave any thing in aid of the line beyond the right of way, it was untrue ; but there is reason to believe that such a statement was not made by or received the sanction of General Fremont. The company may have hoped to secure Government aid, and very strong lobby efforts were made during last session in behalf of some railway companies. But the President has set his face dead against these grants, and rurel.asers of such bonds wou.d be very ill advised who relied on such assistance.—Anglo American Times. The Sergeants' Mess Plate, competed for at Aldershot on the 27th inst. by 10 regiments, Was won by the sergeants, not of the 4th Battalion Rifle Brigade, but of the 4th Battalian GOth Rifles. A handsome testimonial has been presented by some of the Cavalry Brigade at Aldershott to their former chaplain, the Rev. C. A. Assheton Craven. The testimonial consists of a richly-chased silver salver, value £BO, and wasforwarded to Mr. Craven on the breaking up of the Cavalry Brigade through 16ior-CienOrol White, CORTING IN`ii.ELLIGENOE —This Da BETTING.-THIS DAY.
