LONDON, 7 UESDAY, OCT. 19, 1869.

Above the grave in which repose the remains of
LEIGH HUNT, the charming poet, essayist, humorist,
and man of letters in various other departments of
literature, a beautiful memorial monument has this
of ternoon been unveiled. Apart from his more graceful
labours asan author,LEIGII HUNT,as a manly journalist
has claims upon our grateful appreciation. It is but
fitting that some recognition of those claims should
attest in after years to "posterity the fact that by
his immediate contemporaries and his immediate suc
cessors the life and works of a poet and publicist, so
genial in his liberality and so sterling in his inde-
pendence, were thoroughly understood and cordially
held in remembrance. The first Editor of the Exami-
ner inaugurated a new epoch in English journal-
ism. He wrote earnestly and uncompromisingly.
He evidenced the boldness of his views and the

earnestness of his convictions not only by the effu-
sions of his pen but by his calm endurance of the
punishment which he was compelled to undergo
in consequence of their fearless publication.
As a political writer his reputation remained through-
out a long life-time unblemished by even a slur of
suspicion. Writing often as daringly as DEFOE,
he never, like DEFOE, paltered with the
integrity of his character. He never fingered,
as DEFOE did, the coin of his antago-
nists. Struggling often with pecuniary difficulties,
he always contrived to hold his head erect, as be-
came an ingrained gentleman and a cultivated
man of letters. Erring once, in his judgment,
he obliterated the remembrance of that one isolated
incident in his career by his manly retractation of
and apology for the solitary blase of his " BYRON and
his Contemporaries." All who knew him loved him.
He was charming. He was thoroughly original. His
verso had an aroma. His prose had a piquancy. He
was at once generous and subtle as a critic. His style
had a captivation of its own, alike in its exquisite
humour and in its exquisite tenderness. Captain
SWORD and Captain PEN " attests the generosity of
his aspirations as a Philanthropist. His wonderful
fragment on PAGANINI shows that he was a pro-
found appreciator of the great sister art of Music.
His Poems will chiefly preserve the remembrance of
his name in after time. They are fully up to their
pretensions. And the single line culled from them
and inscribed above his tomb is at once the loveliest
line he ever penned, and his most fitting epitaph—

"Write me as one that loves his fellow-men."

THE new number of the Quarterly Review we
cannot help reverting to because it furnishes
an important contribution to the BYRON controversy.
The tide of evidence which seemed to run against
the poet, has been turned by this able paper in his
favour. The Quarterly Reviewer publishes letters
which are very substantial facts. These epistles
were written by Lady BYRON to Mrs. LEIGH,
the poet's half-sister, and they are subsequent to the
date at which, according to Mrs. STOWE, Lady BYRON
had discovered the offence of which her husband and
Mrs. LEIGH had been guilty. Now, however
liberal-minded and generous Lady BYRON may
have been, however anxious to conceal
this terrible scandal from tho world, it is
not probable that she would have written friendly
and endearing letters to Mrs. LEIGH after the fatal
discovery had been made. But these letters contain
many sisterly expressions. In the first the poet's
wife declares that the society of his sister is dear to
her. In another Lady BYRON calls Mrs. LEIGH "her
best comforter." In a third Mrs. LEIGH is thanked
for the kindness she had uniformly shown to her
ladyship. Most important of all is a fourth epistle,
in which Lady BYRON says she is incapable of stating,
in a detailed manner, the reasons which led her to
separate from her husband; but instances as a general
cause BYRON'S insurmountable aversion to the
married state. This communication finishes with the
expression, "Ever yours affectionately." Is it likely
that any woman, whoever she might be, would thus
write to her husband's sister whilst knowing her to be
guilty of the hideous charge put forward by
Mrs. STOWE ? This wretched story has produced
many contradictions and mysteries ; but the most
temperate must allow that at all events the balance
of evidence is now decidedly in the poet's favour.
And to express the result as mildly as possible,
be never perfectly cleared up, it is surely better
to abide by this solution, which, besides being the
most probable, frees the memory of a woman from a
terrible disgrace, and clears the poet's reputation
from the darkest stigma ever cast upon it.

A. GOOD policy may readily be converted into a
radically bad one by the extreme application of its
principles; and this may not improbably be the fate
of our present colonial policy. It is quite right that
the colonies should bear their own burdens, and it is
not equitable that we in England should be com-
pelled to contribute towards the government and de-
fence of countrymen at the Antipodes, who requite us
by shutting out our commerce. But it by no means
follows that the despatch which Earl GRANVILLE
has just sent to New Zealand, refusing to allow the
colonists the use of a British regiment, even if they
pay the cost of it, is likely to bear satisfactory fruit.
A very few words will suffice to state the position.
For a long time the operations in New Zealand
against the Maories were carried on at the expense
of the Home Government. Thousands of troops
were accumulated in the colony, but the Maori diffi-
culty did not come to an end, and England naturally
grew weary of an enterprise which was as fruitless as
interminable. The new policy was applied; it was
insisted as well as other colonies,
shouldthat
bea waland,
bear its
Zealand, as
military expenses.
The justice of this change was not denied
by the colonists ; but they declined to pay for British
bayonets, preferring the "self-reliant" system of
raising and paying their own forces. They might
have chosen the other alternative, but in a fit of
pique they selected self-reliance. Little by little
the British forces were withdrawn, until of 10,000
men only one regiment remained in the island. This
regiment has for some time been under orders to leave.
But whilst the Home Government were doing the
work of withdrawal, the Colonial Government were
undergoing the process of repentance. Whether better
management might not have produced a better result
is an open question ; certain it is that self-reliance
has miserably failed to keep back the Maories and
preserve the lives and property of the colonists. They
now ask for assistance on the tennis first offered them.
They feel confident that the last British regiment
acts as a moral check upon a large section of the
natives who have not yet risen. They are equally
confident that its withdrawal will be followed by some
terrible disaster. They have accordingly expressed their
willingness to pay any price to keep the troops. Earl
GItANVILLE, however, refuses. The colonists, he
says, chose their own course, and they must abide by
it. Payment or no payment, the soldiers shall not
stay, and, as soon as the Colonial Minister's missive
reaches the colony, they will sail.

Earl GRANVILLE is not without plausible reasons
to support this decision—reasons which, under any
other circumstances, would have carried great weight.
It is impossible, he urges, for the troops to act in
New Zealand under a divided authority. The Home
Government cannot entrust the command of English
soldiers to colonial authorities ; the alternative of
independent action is not to be thought of, for one
force under British, and the other under colonial con-
trol, could effect no good purpose. It is true
that the colonists do not desire the regiment
to be employed in active service ; they ask
only that it may be kept in the island, in order that
its presence may act as a deterrent ; but Earl GRAN-
VILLE replies that, if a fresh outbreak takes place,
the British soldiers would undoubtedly be called
into play, and then one of the evils he fears will
be incurred. Such is the argument of the Colonial
Minister, but there is reason to fear that his logic will
lead to calamity. In the first place, there could be
nothing inconsistent with our colonial policy in
leaving the regiment in New Zealand, even though
it were actively employed. It has always
been understood that the settlers could have
the use of British forces if they would
bear the expense of them. The offer has been made
in numerous despatches, and it was distinctly repeated
in one sent from the Colonial Office last year. Even
Earl GnANviLLE, in a missive dated so late as May
21st, hints that the New Zealand Government might
retain the 18th Regiment on acceding to the terms
of the Home Ministry. The formal arguments just
quoted are all very well on paper, but cut-and-dried
logic is not usually a satisfactory resource in
time of great political emergency. Our repre-
sentative in the colony himself apprehends the
gravest results after the last red-coat has left. The ,
party of the KING, which has held aloof hitherto, is
assuming a threatening attitude, Should it join thej

rebels, there is no available force at hand to avert
disaster. And if anything of the kind happen, if
another massacre be perpetrated, Earl GRANVILLE
may rest assured that no syllogisms will save him
from public indignation. In such a case as this it is
the end, not the means, that ought to be considered.
It would be better that there should be " divided
authority "—even that the regiment should be com-
mitted to the command of the colonial Government—
than that there should be a repetition on a large
scale of the scene at Poverty Bay. It is one thing to
have a just regard for English interests ; it is
altogether another thing to refuse our countrymen
the use of a regiment for which they are willing to
pay any sum Earl GRANVILLE chooses to ask.

Tim news of the capture of Valencia may be taken
as indicating the collapse of the Republican insurrec-
tion in Spain. The town on the Mediterranean was
the last place of importance held by the insurgent
party, and the centre, it would seem, of their most
active and numerous supporters. It has surrendered
at discretion, and the Republican bands in other parts
of the country have been slaughtered, captured, or
dispersed. Any other result was not to be looked
for. The outbreak was formidable ; it had
long been planned, and was supported by a
very complete and extensive organisation throughout
the kingdom. But the odds in such a contest are
always largely on the side of the powers that be, and in
the present case the Republicans suffered from the
fatal misfortune of divided councils. One section
pronounced for " action ; " another, which included
the remarkable orator Senor OASTELAR, was in
favour of Constitutional opposition—of cultivating
Republicanism in the country and waiting for
an opportunity which the errors of the Govern-
ment might be expected to furnish. It is remarkable,
indeed, that a political creed which a year ago had
very few followers in Spain should have spread all
over the land, and have made thousands of supporters;
but it was inevitable that this rising, supported by
only a portion of the Spanish Republicans, should
end in failure. The outbreak, in fact, was in every
event to be deplored. It is by no means likely that the
Democrats, had they overturned the present Ministry,
would have given the nation a better Government.
It is very likely indeed that the Republican success
would have ended in Socialism and anarchy. But
the actual result is likewise deplorable, for it depresses,
if not extinguishes, a party which might have rendered
valuable services to the cause of liberty in Spain.
The Republicans were wild ; they promised many
violent remedies, and they shewed very little respect
to the principle of property. They were, however, a
useful safeguard against any relapse into the tyranny
of the old system. Republicanism is the antithesis
of despotism, priestcraft, a powerful sovereign, a
weak Parliament—in short, all the elements that
made up the regime of ISABELLA. On more
than one occasion, the powerful eloquence cf
the Republican deputies prevented the Cortes from
sanctioning a return in certain particulars to the old
miserable system. The party was to be dreaded as a
Government, but it might have been very useful as
an Opposition. It is now prostrate. The troops have
held by Marshal PRIM with unexampled fidelity, and
he, as the leader of the victorious army, is virtually
the absolute master of Spain. He may be
King himself, or he may set up a puppet
and rule in his name. This is up to the present time
the net result of the year's scrambling in Spain.
As Plum's colleagues desire to crown a prince to
whom he is opposed, it is just possible that he may
turn for aid to the Republicans, and restore the
fortunes which he has just cast down ; but it is
equally possible that he may dispose of his colleagues
by a more summary process, and have recourse to that
well tried expedient—a military dictatorship.

A HEAVY GALE.-LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

SUTTON, LINCOLNSHIRE (Sunday).

During a violent gale from the north, which has
just swept over this coast (says R. Brooks, Esq.),
a small ship was observed drifting past here with
signals of distress flying. The lifeboat " Birming-
ham," of the National Lifeboat Institution, sta-
tioned at Sutton, was at once dispatched to the aid
of the vessel, which ultimately struck on the sands
off Ilut.oft. The sea was very rough, but the
boat was happily the means of saving all the
shipwrecked persons, consisting of the crew of two
men and a boy, and the master's wife and two chil-
dren, all of whom were safely landed, and talon
up to the village inn. As the tide rose the ship
began to break up, and, in a few hours, was strewn
in fragments along the beach. She was the Swan
of Hull, bound from Boston to Gainsboro', with a
cargo of wheat. The lifeboat is reported to have
behaved extremely well in the heavy seas which
she had to encounter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

BOBBING A SURGEON.—Emma Jones, an unfortunate,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with robbing Mr.
John Percival Banks, surgeon, of No. '2, Munster-terrace,
Fulham.

The prosecutor was first charged with being drunk and
it capable, and fined 55.; and having paid the fine he was
sworn, and said—l was sitting down in same street, I
don't know where or the time; it might have been on the
pavement or the kerb. I found the prisoner's hand in my
pocket and caught hold of it and found money in it. I
dont't know what I lost. The police came up.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l suppose that is all you know about it.
Prosecutor—That's all.

Arthur Cantle, 196 0, said this morning, at a quarter-
past two, I saw the prisoner Jones drop down in a door-
way in Oxford-street. I turned on my light and saw the
prisoner's hand in the prosecutor's right hand trousers
pocket. She immediately pulled out her hand, and then
prosecutor made a grab and took some money from her,
and she then threw something on the ground, and I picked
up a penny.
The Prisoner—The gentleman was sitting in a doorway
drunk. I asked him what was the matter, and he said he
was queer, and as she felt for him she persuaded him to go
home.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Will you have it tried by a jury ?
Cantle —I believe she has been convicted.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Then she will be remanded for a week.

THAMES.

ROBBING A DRUNKEN SAlLOR.—Bernard Walker, a well-
known thief, known as a night sneak, was charged with
robbing a drunken sailor, named Carl Longston, also
called Gartzze, a Swede, of his boots. The sailor laid
down in an alley insensible, and when he was aroused his
boots were gone.

A police-constable named Jacob Norris, No. 135 K, saw
the prisoner putting a pair of boots on a low wall, the
boundary of a small yard, in Shadwell, and directly after-
wards saw the sailor lying on the ground without any
boots. The prisoner was wearing the Swede's boots, and
had put his on the wall. It was stated that he was in the
practice of sneaking about iu the night timet and robbing
any drunken sailor he met with. Ito was ordered to pull
off the Swede's boots and put on his own " ventilators,"
having holes in the toes and heels. He pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

ABANDONING A WIFE AND CHILDREN.—James Hag-
gerty, aged 28 years, was charged with abandoning his
wife and two children, and leaving them chargeable
to the Stepney Union. The prisoner, a coal
whipper, was charged with assaulting his wife on
the 10th of May last, and after a week's re-
mand, was sentenced to a month's imprisonment for de-
serting her and his children, and he did not then dispute
the paternity of his little ones, and said he was their father.
The wife and children had been chargeable at intervals
ever since, and wholly so since the Bth inst. The facts
were proved by ➢lr. George Jones, relieving officer of Rat-
cliff i❑ the Stepney Union, and Mr. Sidney Thomas, the
junior clerk of the Thames Police-court. The prisoner
had the impudence to declare that Mr. Benson, the magis-
trate, told him to aban,lon his wife.

Mr. Thomas—On:the contrary, he told you to support
your wit° and children.

The Prisoner—l ant not the father of the children ; they
aro not mine.

Mr. Paget would not permit such a plea to prevail after
the prisoner had long recognised tho children, and lived
with their mother. lle sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
The Prisoner(vehemently) The children are not mine.
lam no man. (Laughter.)
Tho Prisoner—You may laugh, but it's quite true.
(Roars of laughter.)

TIIE ROYAL VISIT TO CIIESTEI

The following letter, by direction of the Prince, has been

"W. KNOLLYS.

"The Lord Bishop of Chester."

DISCOVERY OF THE STOLEN CHILD.

The infant daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel Hickie, of
Kidwell's Park, Maidenhead, which was carried off by the
nurse on Friday, the Bth inst., was on Sunday
night recovered at Liverpool. The detective police
found both the nurse and child in a house in that city.
From the woman's statement it appears that she had received
a month's notice to leave Colonel Hickie's employ; that she
suddenly left a fortnight before her time, and that, having
a liking for the child, she determined upon taking it with
her. She came to Liverpool with the infant, and they have
been staying since at St. Jude's-place. The woman was
taken into custody, and the child, which was clean, well
dressed, and had evidently been kindly treated, was, by
the direction of Major Greig, C. 8., head constable, taken-to
his house, where it will remain until claimed by its
parents.
