The following passages in the life of this Nobleman are extracted from Capt. MEDWIN'S notes of his Lordship's Conversations : " I was not so young when my father died, but that I p2r. feetly remember him ; and had very-early a horror of matri mony, from the s;ght of domestic broils : thls feeling came over me very strongly at my wedding. Something whispered me that I was sealing my own death-warrant. I tun a great be liever in presentiments. " The day before I proposed to Lady Byron, I had no idea of doing so.. " I lost my father when I was only six years of age. My mother, when she was in a rage with me (and I gave her cause enough) used to say, ' Alt, you hula dog, you are a Byron all over; you are as bad as your father. * * But, in fact, my father was, ih his youth, any thing but a' Ctelebs in search of a wife.' He would have made a bad hero for Hannah More. He ran out three fortunes, and married or ran away with three women, and once wanted a guinea; that he wrote for. I have the note. " You have heard the unfortunate story of his duel with his relation and neighbour. After that melancholy event he shut himself up at Newstead, . and was in the habit of feeding crickets, which were his only companions. lie made them so tame as to crawl over him, and used to whip them with a wisp of straw, if too familiar. When he died, tradition says that they left the house in a body. • • • • " I never wrote any thing worth mentioning till I was in love. • y D o a u n n t g e dateswh when s fel l passionoe over e head forrsatin love ; but I anticipate. twelve: I was almost as I was sent to Harrow at 12, and spent my vacations at Newstead. It was there that I first saw ;'Mary C—. She was several years older than myself; but at my age boys like something older than cd : but owing to t h e un h appy c i rcumstances o f t h e f eu d to as they do yo unger , l ater i s: lif e . O ur es t a t es adjoin wthheicnislellvbeesfore alluded, our families (as is generally the case with neighbours who happen to be relations) were never on terms of more than common civility—scarcely those. I passed the sum mer vacation of this year among the 'Malvern hills; those were days of romance ! She was the beau ideal of all that my youth. ful fancy could paint of beautiful; and I have taken all my fables about the celestial nature of women from the perfection my imagination created in her—l say created, for I found her, like the rest ocher sex, a n y t hi ng b ut angelic. • cc Venice," said he, " I detest • every recollection of the place, t h e reopy, anti my pursuits. I there mixed again in society, trod again the old ground of converzationes, balls, and con certs, was every night at the opera, a constant frequenter at the Ridotta during the carnival, and, in short, entered into all the dissipation of that lu xur i ous p l ace. Every thing in a Venetian life—its gondolas, its efreminating indolence, its Siroccus,—tend to enervate the mind and body." • • • • " Women were there,. as they have ever been fated to be, my bane. Like Napoleon, 1 have always had a great con tempt for women; anti formed this opinion of then; not hastily, but from my own fatal experience. • • • " The Turks and Eastern people manage these matters better than we do. They lock them up, and they are much happier. Give a woman a looking-glass and a few sugar plums, and she will be satisfied. " 1 have•sufFered from the other sex ever since I can remem ber any thing. I began by being jilted, and ended by being unwived. Those are wisest who make no connection of wife or mistress." " I always took great delight," observed he, " in the Eng lish Cathedral service. It cannot fail to inspire every man, who feels at all, with devotion. Notwithstandin g w hi c h, Chris tianity is not the best source of inspiration for a poet. No poet should be tied down to a direct profession of faith. Meta physics open a vast field ; Nature, and anti-Mosaical specula tions on the origin of the world, a wide range, and sources of poetry that are shut out 1; i y Christianiti." a 9 Another time he said, " One mode of worship yields to an other; no religion has lasted more than two thousand years.— Out of the eight hundred millions that the globe contains, only two hundred millions are Christians. Query—Vi'hat is to be come of the six hundred millions that do not believe, and of those incalculable millions that lived before Christ ? " People at home are mad about 111 issionary Societies, and m i ss i ons to t h e E a st, I have been applied to, to subscribe, se veral times since, and once before I left England. The Catholic Priests have been labouring hard for nearly a century; but what have they done ? Out of eighty millions of Hindoos, how many proselytes have been made ? Sir J. Malcolm said, at Murray's, before several persons, that the Padres, as he called them, had only Made six converts at Bombay during his time, and that even this black little flock forsook their shepherds when the rum was out. Their faith evaporated with the fumes of the arrack." " I should most likely hare passed the remainder of my life in Turkey, if I had not been called hom e by m y mot h er ' s d e ath and my affairs," said he. " I mean to return to Greece, and shall in all probability die there." THE REV. AIEXAM/1M FLETCHEII.—At the conclusion of service at Albion Chapel yeaterilay morning, Mr. FLErctiEn addressed hiss congregation to the following effect : —He thought it was time that he should lay before them and the religious Public of London, and likewis e hi s d e l u d e d f r i ends in Scotland, a correct and fa ithful exposition of facts in ad dition to what he might call his " defence." It should be in the press in the course of the week, and would be p u bli s h e d as soon as possible. There were various kinds of judges who were bad judges. Some men would hear nothing but what was favourable to a particular party : they could not be called just judges. Others wou ld . hear only what w as unfavourable : they were as unjust as the former. Others judged and condemned without inquiry; and others proceeded upon false writhes, and would not consent to be set . right. He regretted that in this great and enlightened capital there wer e . individuals to be found the paper for publica haewtllleprefore hoped they would who were anxious to condemn a man without hearing any thing i t n inn hi w s i favo ur. care and d eto an d d r undergo a strict scrutiny : it would be seen that lie had been a faithful historian, even when he considered himself blameable. —But he hoped that be sho uld . be able to convince his readers attention intended that he was not blameable with respect to most of the things laid to his charge, and even if he were (looking at his conduct in the worst point of view), was there to be no forgivenness ? He misted, however, that he should . succeed in convincing his con gregation that he had done ri g ht assuming and maintaining the bold line of conduct which he had adopted. His themies had employed three engines to separate him from his congrega tion. The first was a legal action —that had not succeeded ; the second was ecclesiastic censure, determined on without evi dence in his favour being heard —that had not succeeded the third was the freedom of the press of England—that would not succeed, for what had been free to them was also free to him.'

CANTERBURY AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. • On Wednesday, (he 20th•instant, the Anniver sary of this benevolent Institution, was held at the Guildhall. The Right Worshipful the Mayor, O. SNOULTENT, Esq. took the Chair at half-past 12 o'clock, anti in a perspicuous speech explained the objects of the meeting, which had his most cordial approbation, and referred to the Report for the full details of the proceedings of the Society. The Rev..lonN Saximread the Report, which contained the h -ratifying intelligence that 300 Bibles, and 384 Testaments, making a total of Mil copies of the Scripture, had been distri buted by this Auxiliary during the past . year ; and that the Canterbury Society, since its formation, had been the ho.ppy ru instment of circulating, chie fl y among the poor in this ne4;ll - no fewer than 5943 copies or the word of God. The Report proceeded to•CMittittulate the meeting,on.the progres sive increase of the fund s o f t h e S oc i e ty which h a d risen during the last year to nearly double the prior year.. In noticing the amazing progress of the Parent Society, the Report stated that it had been the honoured means of circulating 3044,324 copies of the word of life in the British dominions only, besides 000,000 in the different languages of the European Continent, and that through the labours and patronage of the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Holy Scriptures had been translated into 140 ditferent Isnguages and dialects. J. B. Wiummi, Esq. AIX. in moving that the Report be adopted and printed, took occasion to express the hi g h d e g ree of pleasure he fell i n uniting with a Society so pre-eminently useful and honourable as the British and Foreign Bible So ciety, whose funds indeed were the funds of charity, in aiding which we were instrumental of promoting the insterests of im mortal souls. The Rev. S. G MITI:EN, in an interesting manner, seconded the resolution. The Rev. Mr. Semmr., Swiss Minister, of London, bore testimony, from personal observation, of the happy effects produced in his own country by t h e exert i ons o f the Bri tish and Foreign Bible Society, Il e a pp eare d u s a Swiss witness to the revival of true religion . throughout the Cuts tons of Swisserland by means of the Bible Society ; and to whatever country of Europe we turned we should and j similar effects produced. Russia had been so essentially be nefitted by its labours, that the Bible Society of that country was now so strong as to support all the claims on its _e fierce benevo lence ; and here it was g ratifying to remark that th Cossack now retired from the sanguinary conflict of fieldsof battle, might be seen in his rude abode anxiously study ing the precepts of the words of peace. The Rev eren d . Gentleman . went at length into a tatfacts, lof showing that & the labours of the Society had produced an immense blessing to —.had diffused a spirit of Christi a n be nevolenceworld, and had elevated th e cha racternt ti nat l i e on in the eyes of all intelligent the o fan ti l it i ei l l u y rorui of gui t s : oh i u fo reigners, by arraying that character in all the charms of Chris tian philanthropy. Rev. Mr. CUSWORTJI warmly advocated the interests of the British and Foreign Bible Society, because its co ns ti tut i on was so liberal, and its object so truly ehristiun. Rev. T. BAATLET in a strain of nervous eloquence, wive. cated the cause of the Institution, and remarked, that during the last year, 40,000 copies of th e S cr i ptures had been distri. bated in Ireland. It was the Bible alone which produced that civilization, which had elevated the nations of Europe, and particularly this country to the enjoyment of equal rights, and the happiness of unbounded comforts. If we would judge of the benefits the Bible has conferred, look at Britain, look at Rome, at Greece, before the dawn of Christianity; look at New Zealand, at Africa • turns the eyes to Hindustan, and see the wretched vi c ti ms Of idolatry, and judge what we owe to the Bible, who se p recepts teac h us to love our neighbours. We regret our limits will not allow us to fellow the Reverend Gentleman through his interesting details, which rivetted at tention. J. P. PLITAINT XX, Esq. in moving thanks to the Officers and Collectors, said the highest recompence which could he en. joyed must arise in the minds of all persons actively engaged in a work so benevolent, as that of distributing the word of life to their fellow men ; and the reflections of such persons, in the day of judgment, would be of the most exalted kind, where they may happily see some of the poor, whom they have been the instruments of learning to read and love their bibles, standing at the right hand of their Supreme Judge and Saviour. The Ilible Society must continue a blessing, while its conductors are inspired by those principles of universal berie_ volence t which have hitherto actuated their counsels. The Learned Gentleman contrasted the state of Otaheite 20 years since, with its present condition, and shewed the efficacy of the Divine word in the change effected. In Sierra Leone, similar changes had been produced; and the native negroes have Fined, though black without, have soul within. CHARLES SANDYS, .l S4l. in a short speech, seconded the Resolution. _ . . --- 11eV. 1.. SANDYs shortly moved thanks to the Mayor, which being seconded by the Bev. T. Bartlett, was carried unani. ,musty. The MAYon, after returning thanks for the expression of their favourable sentiments, assured the meeting he had been_ highly gratified with the interesting details Submitted to them, and that he should always feel most happy in premixing by tth means in his power so laudable an Institution. At lialf-past six o'clock in the evening, the Anniversary of the Canterbury Ladies Bible Association, was held in the t.; 404, J. li. Wildman, Esq. M.P. in the Chair. FOIL THE SUN. THE DRAMA: M. EDITOR—.I do not suppose that your 'leaders take much interest generally in the pro.t ceedimigs of the minor 'Theatres; the recent dis. cossion, however, of the subject which took piacci at the Surrey Sessions, when their several pro: prietors applied for the renewal of theit licences; sin ws that the subject is not altogether unworthy of public attention. Dramatic exhibitions have always had a power fm y e t t : i the lower d e c r l e a d s st a s ti o ti f itrir ci b e o ty ok . the examples of . which th e y d raw their modes of s They from thought and action ; and hence the preservation of the purity of the Stage is an important instru ment by which the morals of the inferior classes are purified and strengthened, and their more generous feelings called into action by a tempo- 'racy glance at society, in which their station would not allow them to mingle, and a contem plation of virtue and vice in their action and effects, thus appealing to their hearts far more forcibly and effectually than by any process of reasoning whatever. To maintain that great 0b..; ject, the purity of the. Stage, our legislature was formerly extremely circumspect in the regulation of, the Patent Theatres : of these there were but three ; they had the privilege of acting playsi and so high a privilege did they esteem it that they never dreamed of compromising it, especially by rendering the boards of the Theatre a mea nagerie. Houses of amusement were occasionally licensed, but with the greatest jealousy and can« don ; but the amusements, if they attempted anything dramatic, were never allowed to be other than singing and dumb skew. Matters are - now completely changed. The minor Theatres, from dumb-show, Venture to introduce placards ; and when this was found a very clumsy and awkward method of elptessioni a few words stole cautiously over the scene.— Emboldened by impunity, they now proceeded to regular dialogue, and when this was unnoticed, they invaded the province of the regular Theatres, and, however imperfectly, performed plays ! Meanwhile, the regular Theatres, less valuing a privilege which they saw was not exclusive, in their turn made an inroad on the territories of their minor brethren, and the stage which GARa RICK and KEinur.c had consecrated to SHAKS PEARE and sense, became the reign of shew and folly, an exhibition of horses and un amusement for asses. The horses and asses, however, paying well, the managers of the minor Theatres began to think they might return to their melo-dramas adj vantageously—and in this they were not disap pointed. But the minor Theatres had now be come really objects of importance ; without the circumspection which had marked the conduct et the legislature towards the patent Theatres, they were exercising all the influence of regular Thee. tres on one portion of the public mind ; and were producing, not regular plays, but morbid abor tions, corresponding to and promoting that de praved system of feeling, now unhappily so general, as to be denominated the public taste ! and in this state these Theatres now remain. I do not, therefore, hold the minor Thetttreg to be markets of mere neutral nonsense ; they fomented and they continue to maintain that ht. mentable depravation of the public tastev—at least of the metropolitan, to which the bills of the Theatres Royal bear palpable and disgrace. fut witness. They were first to break the link that connected the sympathies of the high and low, by sharing in those generous excitements which taught the one the virtue of humility, and the other the humility of virtue. And when they had substituted for natural and intelligible action, a system (if any thing so chostic deserve the name) of unnatural anti exaggerated feeling, it was soon found, as in all depraved constitutions, that more powerful stimulants were necessary. Crescit indulgens sibi causa morbi. Hence it was, that, before the late Martell Was brought to trial, the horrible transaction in which he was impli• rated was DI ELOD ILA MATIZED AT ONE MINOR THEAfitE ! and that the same horrid story, after its full catastrophe, furnished amusement for the public at another. I think therefore that the subject of the minor Theatres deservedly received much notice ut the Sessions, and that .Mr. llor.Ai SUMNER very justly observed, that the granting of these li. cences had been taken too much n$ matter of course. The indisposition of the Magistrates to injure the property of individuals has embolden ed them to take courses which they never could have done, had the letter of the Act been ad tiered to. In proportion to the great liberty which is now allowed to the Managers of tlw minor Theatres, should be the vigilance of the Magistrates in examining whether that liberty is discreetly exercised. I have lately seen it trumpeted forth as an eminent merit on the part of a minor Th eatre, that the Managers had assigned a separate part of the house to the accommodation of prostitutes, that they might not interfere with respectable fe. males ! I hope the lute discussion in Surrey will not be without its effects on all these establishments, anvil that their conductors will be taught, that however public taste may be debased and debi litated, public decency and public morality mny not be violated with impunity.
