POETRY.

REPLY OF LADY BYRON TO HER LORD.
The following LrigEs were written, it is affirmed, by Lady
BYRON, and by her Ladyship addressed to her Lord, in
reply to his well-known Verses on the Subject-of their Se-
paration :
Fare thee well ! and if for ever,
Still for ever fare thee well !
Blame thyself that thus we sever ;
Thou hast forced ,n to rebel.
Would that heart were bared before thee,
Where thou thought'st it bless to reign,
'When Love's brightest spell came o'er thee,
. Which thou scarce canst know again.

Would that heart, by thee glanc'd over,
Every inmost thought could shew ;
'Then might's thou in turn discover
'Twas not great to wound it so.

-Though thy verse the plaudits gain thee
Which unheeding crowds assign :
Sure such plaudits still should pain thee
Given by hearts that-know not mine.

If I paused, before I pardon'd,
Could no other means be found,
Which might move an heart unharden'd
To forgive a wanton wound ?

O reflect ! thyself deceive not ;
Truant love may pardon seek;
But—lN PUBLIC GAZE—believe not
Hearts their penitence should speak !

Still thine own its pride retained?:
Still must mine in silence smart :
And th' undying thought which paineth
Is—THAT WE WERE FORen TO PART.

These are words of deeper sorrow
Than e'en verse of thine can prove;
Both may live—yet, every morrow,
Feel the pangs of sever'd love
Yet, when I shall solace gather—
When our child's first lisp I hear—
She shall learn to say " MY FATHER !"
Though the words should wake a tear.

When her arms each night shall press me,
Ere she sink to tranquil rest,
I will teach her prayers to bless thee—
For her sake may'st THOU be blest !

Should her lineaments resemble
His who caused this heart to ache,
Doubt not though my lip may tremble,
It shall kiss her for thy sake.

All thy faults, and all thy madness,
She shall hide from love and me ;
Widow'd hopes, now sunk in sadness,
Still, perchance, may turn to thee.
Though each feeling has been shaken—
Virtue, Love, and Female Pride ;
Yet this heart by thee forsaken
Still could pardon, still could hide.

But—'tis done ! Vain each concession—
Vain each hope that lingers yet ;
Feelings—thoughts—which mock expression,
Sink, at last, in mute regret.

His Grace the Archbishop of Yomt, visited
Sheffield otr-Wednesdray last, when upwards of
one thousand young persons were confirmed.
His Grace previous to this interesting ceremony,
had consecrated the piece of ground at Attercliffe,
on which is to be erected a new church, to be de-
nominated Christ's Church.
We are concerned to hear that Viscount DUN*
wicli was so seriously indisposed during the last
week at Newmarket as to be confined to his bed ;
but it is with pleasure we add that his Lordship
had sufficiently recovered to be able to leave that
place by easy stages on Saturday.
GREECE.-In the island of Leucadea (Santa
Maura), ZAMPELIOS, a young man of great ta-
lents, has printed a modern tragedy, dedicated
to the venerable Coray. He has two others,
" Scanderbeg " and " Constantia Palaologus,"
ready to print. Mustoxydi, a learned Greek of
Corfu, has translated into French the whole of
the proclamations and papers published by the
Senate of the Peloponnesus against the Turks,
since the beginning of the heroic warfare. They
will be published in Paris. In the city of Cy-
donia, recently destroyed by the Turks, a
College and well-selected library was burnt.—
A young Greek, of considerable genius, has trans-
lated the " Philoctetes" of Sophocle3 into mo-
dern Greek. It was recently represented in
Odessa, by Greeks, with uncommon applause.
4 Success to the Greeks'—' Success to their ge-
nerous friends,' resounded from the whole pit at
the close of the piece. At Padua, Spiridion Petrit-
tini,a Greek of Corfu,has published a translation of
Velleius Paterculus. A ltho' the temporary seat of
the Government is at Corinth, Athens is intended
for the capital, should Greece be liberated. The
national arms is Minerva, with the attributes of
wisdom ; according to some it is an owl, the an-
cient symbol of the Athenians, and the bird of
Minerva. A political Journal, which was for-
merly published at Calamatra, The Hellenian
Trumpet, is now printed at Corinth.
LunLow.—At the Chamber Meeting of the
Corporation on Monday last, Mr. CHARLTON
gave notice that he should proceed immediately
by Quo Warrant° against Sir W ATKIN W. W yriN,
Bart., who, he stated, was illegally a member of
the body, not being resident within the limits of
the town. Mr. CHARLTON, in signifying his
intention, spoke as follows :—" I feel myself
called on to declare, that my motive is only
to restore to this body their rights and pri-
vileges, and to confine them thereto as their
charter directs—a motive that is founded on
ancient right, on justice, and on law, and can-
not, therefore, be disputed by any one who
professes to uphold either the one or the other.
The prospect of giving to the body and the town
its long lost rights encourages me to the under-
taking ; and though a frightful expence stares
me in the face, I will, with the help of some
good friends, and the determination, if it is ne-
cessary, of existing on bread and cheese, Deo vo-
lente, accomplish my object ; and, sooner or later,
deprive this body and the borough of all influence
that is not established on an interest undivided
from the welfare, the rights, and the privileges of
the town."—(G lo:wester Journal.)
