When Lord Byron was attacked by The Estlabaegis

Bard, and Smith Reriewers--and when Lady Morgan was
attacked by Mt Quarterly leesdest, she silenced then in the
mime manner by Florence M`Carthy. Rat haring, like

sister was actually married to Jerome BeflillialiC at Ill:
time; but because Lady Mayas &duet know tidal a thing
utterly unimportnet as comeemed with the eneeslote in goer_
lion, the learned writer cells the whole " a mere climbs,
blundering intelillolo and directs hia.readers "from this
slating and positive fabrication, to leans to appreciate the
other anecdotes related in the lasofilaitt hook testified
Frown, by Lady Morgan!" Nor Is this all—.but homest
The Quarterly Merle* had endeirontred to be witty uu her
person, Mr. Mayfair deems it iticumbeat oa him to do to
too. Lady Morgan is not tall, and be moats that she told
this anecdote bemuse she wi-bed to keep op the idea" that
bee important and interesting permit attracted parties/or
sotice."
Mr. Mayfair's jests aloe, os Lady bleiegan'oceeetry, which
he facetiously calls " her deer little Erin," are very hotly.
His first joke is osi her Irish mimes. " She sold in Paris
that Sir Charles Murgaii bad thirst estates in Ireland—thirty
estates ! no less! Faistars melt in beekrasa tieuld sink so
wishing before the Knight of doe many estates." Now, Sir
Charles Morgan, we uwilerstasd4 is a Welehthea, asd we
*ever beard he poesessed, or sahib he posesmed, as sae of
ground in Ireland. Those who boos his witty Lady caw
testify that it is not on seal distiaelloois ski &etude her con.
o'llmenen i she unsaid isomer boast of slack thugs if she did
puo.ess them, leach leen if she dna net. Be, see believe
the Wog to be a dull sad silly fabrication, sod lodised Air.
Mayfair himself is compelled to admit as much, Cue though'
he 'Maks the joke too good to pass by, he says " be w,lt
✓ot assert that Lady Morgan really did say so!'
Hie weft witticism is se the state of thiap is her conn.
try. is We kites nothing," says he, " more pietereque than
• French diligeote at the dose of a French Sea, seise it hed

claim the merit of originality is AS asnosiug pimare, which
we believe is doe to, lhowlisatbste,, wise has published two
caricatures of postale, lb Ireland sod Scotleol, the latter
of which is full as picturesque as the firmer. Dui as Mon
writer may be iodised, from the success of his prosaic
work, to give Ireland as Iris, obi Lady Morgan', lietends,
we beg so assure him, to prevent his Valhi's lam any roil,:
take, than whatever might love bees the eels formerly, they'

or drive thatthed cabins for chokes.
