LORD B171?OlV'S LIFE.

In reference to the story of Lard Byron's life,
published in 211aciallan's Magazine, Alr. .Percy
Boyd writes in the Evening Mail:—
" Sir,—The nature of the misunderstanding
which led ultimately to a separation between Lord
and Lady Byron is well known to many persons
still living, myself among the number. I was
informed of it some years ago by Mr. W. A.
Mackinnon, formerly ALP. for Rye, then the
father of the Hens° of Commons. He had
it from Mr. Thomas Campbell, author of
" The Pleasures of Hope." It is probably
within the knowledge of Sir Percy Shelley and
Captain Medwin. I can only say that no kind of
moral guilt or depravity, on the part of Lord Byron,
was involved in the matter, but an amount of eccen-
tricity which undoubtedly justified his wife in de-
manding a separation. There is, therefore, I ven-
ture to say, no foundation whatever for the state-
ment now put forth by Mrs. Beecher Stowe that
Lord Byron was carrying on an adulterous intrigue
with a near relation, which was detected, &c. He
was in pecuniary difficulties when his wife left him.
There were executions both in Newstead Abbey and
his London residence. To his then situation he
alludes in a canto of 'Don Juan :'—

" Poor fellow !
It was a trjing moment that which found him
Seated alone beside his desolate hearth
His household goods all shivered round him.'
The proceeds of the sale of the Newstead property,
bought by Colonel Wildman for £15,000, were
applied in payment of his debts, and not his wife's
fortune, which was settled on herself (vide letter
220, Moore's Ed.) I believe both these statements
of Mrs. Beecher Stowe are equally untrue. They
emanate, probably, from a desire on her part to
make literary capital out of her acquaintance with
the widow of au illustrious European poet, who was
also a peer ; for the Americans, like all true Re-
publicans, adulate hereditary rank.
•e Is it po.tsible that Lady Byro.), a persol of the
most refined and fastidious ttsto, having kept her
lips clused for more than forty years, should select
the blackening her husband's fame a vulgar and
garrulous Yankee? And with what object ? To
neutralise the pernicious iullaence of a cheap edi-
tion. Why, there have been fifty editions of
Byron's works since his death. I knew lady
Byron in her later life. She was surrounded
by her own friends, and was remarkable for
her quiet and reserved disposition, as well as
for her many acts of unostentatious charity.
She was about the most unlikely person in the
world to have touched on such a subject to a com-
parative stranger. I never heard her speak of this
illustrious man in any other than terms of respect
and admiration. She was never, I believe, known
to speak of him otherwise. She was as proud of his
fame as any woman could be. I can only add the
expression of my hope—that this statement of Mrs.
Beecher Stowe, which I believe to be a monstrous
calumny, will soon be disproved. The grave of Lord
Byron, when I last saw it, was neglected by his
countrymen and covered with weeds, but I trust
this cloud, coming from the west, will not be allowed
to dim the splendour of his fame."

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

The Russian army is the greatest in Europe. It was
stated last yearthat it contained, with field forces, local
forces, and irregular troops, 1,469,000 men. This host
is scattered, however, and the: want of railways would
not allow of its being concentrated ; but allowing for
these drawbacks, the army of Russia would be formidable
in any battle-field. Some dangers are contemplated in
the present system, by which the soldiers are taken
by conscription, remain by service for several
years, and are liable to be called on afterwards
as occasion may require. The soldiers are, for the most
part, well satisfied with their position, and sometimes
regret their dismissal to their homes. The Russian
soldier is not educated to any extent, but he is kept con-
stantly employed, and is clever in the use of tools for all
trades. Even the Poles take a liking to the mili-
tary service after a few months, and the rural population
of Poland is far more reconciled to the Ri-ssian rule than
the nobles and the educated classes. The Russian
army is gradually assuming a more Democratic
tone, but the religious feeling among the soldiers
is very strong. The emancipation of the serfs
has tended considerably to improve the position
of the soldier, who now displays more individuality. The
Russian troops are distinguished for their marching
powers, and this has always been considered one of the
chief characteristics of good troops. Great progress has
been made of late in the military tactics of Russia. Ths
practice of the art of war is not confined to field-days.

THE TWO DELEGATIONS.

- - -
The recent common sitting end common vote of the
Austt ian and Hungarian delegat ionswasthefirst of the kind,
It possesses some interest for English readers, from the
fact that the chief subject of tho difference which gave
rise to it was the income tax paid by the Lloyd Steam
Navigation Company. This company receives a seebsi.ty
from the common exchequer, ret.d the two former de'..,:ga-
t ions subtracted the income tax from the subsidy, ' nt in
the last Budget passed by the Iteichsrath the Lloyd
income tax was placed as revenue. The leichsra'..h
Delegation held that it should be paid to the
special Budget of Austi is, as Trieste., the seat
of the Company is within Austrian territory. The
Hungarians, on the other hand, held that as the subsidy
was paid in common the revenue should likewise be
common. A compromise was proposed but not accepted,
and the question was put to the vote. The Hungarians
carried the day, as 64 votes against 34 decided that the
income tax of the Lloyd is to be put in the common
estimates as revenue. Another question referred to tho
purchase of two gunboats for the Danube for £40,000,
which the Hungarian Delegation had sanctioned and the
Austrians rejected. This also was settled in favour of tho
Hungarians, there being 59 for the purchase. and only 39
against ; so that the Danube will have its gunboats.

STEEPLE JACKS.

The Builder has an snteresting article on " Steeple
Jacks." It points out that he is not an individual, hut a
genus, a class. Some clever doings of his at New Swindon
are causing -A o little astonishment. Some of the factory
chimneys baying got out of repair, the company resolved
to employ a " Steeple Jack," Ills plan of proceeding
was to Hy an Indian kite, with two strings attached. The
kite rjses nearly perpendicularly, and when above the
chimney top is guided over it. The second string is then
pulled, and thus a complete communication is formed over
the chimney. By means of this string a double copper
wire is drawn up, and by this wire some pulleys and
tackling. "Steeple Jack" then ascends band over hand,
and places an iron band around the chimney, which he
secures tightly. Planks are then drawn up and laid
upon irons projecting from the band, and thus in
a short time a scaffolding sufficient for his
purpose is erected, and at a cost very much less
than that of a regular builder's. "Jack " had two or
three assistants, and managed in this aaial manner to
pull down one of the factory chimneys which had become
so badly out of repair as to require rebuilding. He is still
engaged in repairing others. llis scaffolding lo oks at a
distance like a huge indiarubber band around the chhn-
ney, with ropes depending from it.

HARD AS NAILS.—The cry everywhere is that the
ground is getting into that condition figuratively styled
by pugilists, to denote muscular excellence, as " hard as
nails." Now that the harvest is over, no one will be sorry

neither train nor run them while this state of things con-
tinues.

TILE QUEEN AT TEE TROSSACIn.

Scotch enthusiasm could not be repressed during
the journey of the Queen to the Trossachs on Wed-
nesday. The railway companies had issued strict
orders that the public was not to be admitted to the
railway stations. whilst the royal train was passing
through, and that there was to be no cheering or
other demonstrations. We are not told whether
the people were forbidden on pain of death to look
nt the sacred train as it passed alone the line, or
whether the public was ordered to stay at home
during the journey. But the first stringent
regulation proved too much. A telegram was sent
to the stations, giving permission for the anxious
spectators to come in, but not in great numbers.
When the public did get in it cheered lustily. " Her
Majesty was looking extremely well, and did not
seemed to be the least fatigued with her journey."
The Royal visit to the Trossachs will last about a
fortnight.

THE END OF THE "DIAL."

If a thing can have an end which never had a
beginning, the Dial newspaper may be said to have
come to an end. The National Newspaper League
are to be put out of their misery. They have paid
up 40s. a share many years since, and are soon to
receive 2s. a share "as a first instalment." It is
pleasant to find that under these circumstances the
directors can be cheerful and congratulatory. They
"feel it only due to thsniselve4 to remark that
they have earnestly, anxiously, and disinterestedly
endeavoured at all times to promote the best
interests of the shareholders, and they have the
consolation of knowing that, notwithstanding the
failure of the enterprise, no shareholder (with the
exception of those who have paid in full) has
suffered any loss beyond a portion of the 40s.—
the first deposit on the shares—in which respect
the failure of this company is without precedent
in the history of joint-stock undertakings."
-Upwards of £30,000 was collected ; half of this sum
was spent on preliminary expenses, and half of the
remainder was lost in the purchase and resale of a
moiety of the Star newspaper. This is the sum and
substance of what has been done. The directors are
manifestly persons easily satisfied—with themselves.

TAE BEERSHOP LICENSING QUESTION,

Hertfordshire enjoys the unenviable pre-eminence
of figuring as the county in which every parish save
one possesses a drink shop of some hind. Most
counties have several bcerless parishes, some have
many, but Ilertfordshire only one. Naturally
enough, therefore, the recent change in the hcenshig
law has caused an extra amount of excitement in that

locality. Now that tlae--;;;;lgisiLiCS---hftWgot the
licenses in their hands the beerhouse keepers have
fall,m upon uncomfortable times. At several of the
petty sessions held within the last few days the
inspectors of police have objected to the granting
certificates to established beerhouse keepers on the
ground that their houses are not respectably conducted,
or that the keepers of them are not persons of
respectable character. Persons who have been
convicted of crime have been sent away without
certificates. Other offending dispensers of fluid have

ELECTION NEWS.

There will be a severe contest in Renfrewshire.
In all probability the Conservatives will bring for-
ward Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, their former repro -
sentative, who lost his seat in 18(35. The Liberals
will probably nominate Colonel Mure, of Cald-
well, a son of the late Colonel Mure, the his-
torian of Greece. The South Derbyshire election
takes place next week. The first of the election
petition trials opens mdsor on Tuesday next ;
Mr. Justice Willes will preside. Mr. Baron Martin
will preside at -Norwich on Thursday.

THE RITUAL JUDGMENT.

" A Berkshire Incumbent " writes a very earnest
letter to the Times, inploring the bishops to seize the
present opportunity for conferring together with a
view to the issue of a joint manifesto for the esta-
blishment of uniformity in ritual. The correspondent
thinks there is no doubt that the judgment has sur-
prised a good many persons, that it has given neither
side a party triumph, and that the clergy are every-
where asking for guidance as to what they should
do. tqf the bishops were now to speak
with a unanimous and no uncertain sound,
restraining and correcting the transgressions
of the law of which both the great parties in
the Church have undoubtedly been guilty, I believe
the great body of the clergy would obey, and the
laity gladly accept, their decision." It was but a few
months ago that the bishops issued a pastoral from
Lambeth with respect to subjects which scarcely
seemed to require so weighty an utterance. There is
far more need of an authoritative enunciation now.
With the help of the recent judgment, and of the
no less remarkable one delivered by the same court
in the St. I3arnabas case some years ago, there can
be no real difficulty in such a task, if entered upon in
a spirit of perfect impartiality, having regard to one
question alone—viz., what the law of the Church
actually is, not what one or another might wish it to
be. But the work must be that of a united and,
above all, an impartial episcopate. The slightest
suspicion of unfairness, of favouring one party more
than another, or the failure of even one bishop to
co-operate with his brethren, would certainly tend to
deprive the movement of a great deal of its power
for good.
- • --

"Presbyter Londinensis," writing on the same
subject, questions if the judgment is so favourable to
the Ritualists as they suppose it to be. Flowers and
a cross he thinks harmless ; .the vestments he passes
no opinion upon ; but he will not admit that the
position of the celebrant is that which the Ritualists
declare it to be according to Lord Cairns's judgment.
Anyhow, he thinks that this portion of the judgment
ought to be revised, so that the clergy may not
be liable to prosecution by the English Church
Union if they do not stand before the altar, or to
Prosecution by the Church Association if they do,

GERMANY.

The last convent in the 'Rhenish provinces of Prus3!a
has just been suppressed. This completes a work of extermi-
nation which was commenced as far back as 1834, when
all the convents in the Rhine provinces were ordered to be
closed, the rest of Prussia being already cleared of them.
Three Franciscan houses were allowed to remain, because
they possessed no property with which to compensate the
Government for the pensions it was obliged to accord the
expelled monks. It was therefore arranged that these
three should not be closed until their inmates died off.
This process was effectual in the case of two, but the one
at Neustadt preserved a remarkable vitality. It has been
discovered that it recruited its members secretly, and sum-
mary extinction has been the penalty.
The Paris Moniteur notes that the Saxon Landwenr,
together with the soldiers of the reserve, are now going
through a series of manoeuvres which will last until the
end of February. This is the first instance on record, says
the Moniteur, of an army being thus exercised in the
middle of winter during peace.
The Munich Court of Appeal has condemned a priest to
two months' imprisonment for speaking in insulting terms
of the chief Bavarian Minister. The trial was rather a
lively affair. An inukceper, who was the chief witness,
deposed that the accused, with about thirty other priests,
dined at his house ; that the offence was committed during
the dinner ; and that conveyances were required to enable
the austere fathers t:-; =snob their domicile

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA

Although victorious in the recent battle, the Cuban
insurgents sustained a grievous loss by the death of the
Marquis de Santa Lucia, their chief general. He was
wounded on the field, and died the next day. Santa
Lucia was one of the three who first organised the revolt
which so seriously threatens to deprive Spain of her greatest
possession. He was the head of one of the leading Cuban
families, 40 years of age, of great power, and greater in.
fluence. He is described as being for a long time an
ardent worker in the cause of Cuban independence and
the freedom of the slave. His loss is ill compensated by
the gain of a battle.
The Independance Beige states that the insurgents
receive supplies of arms and munitions from the United
States. Many Americans and some English soldiers from
Jamaica are fighting for the Creoles. It would, however,
be erroneous to coneude that the insurrection has been
fomented with the view of hoisting the stars and stripes in
Cuba.
