Among the passengers by the Atrato are Judge
Athill, from St. Lucia, Lieutenant Commander
Solly, late- of the Heron, Dr. Goodman, of the
Naval Hospital, Port Royal, Mr. Scobel, Engi-
neer of the Britomart, and the Rev. Dr. Bradshaw,
from Jamaica. The Neva, with the outward mails,
arrived at Colon o❑ the 22d of August. The
A trato was detained at Colon until noon on August
21, waiting the arrival of the San Francisco steamer,
which had not reached Panama when the Atrato
left.

The Atrato experienced fine weather the first
part of the homeward voyage from St. Thomas, and
then strong north-westerly gales and heavy -sea.

At Valparaiso business had slightly improved ;
transactions, however, were limited, holders refus-
ing to meet the market. The last quotations of
freight were firm, but arrivals of tonnage were con-
siderable. The Chilian President has been autho-
rised to negociate a loan of four million dollars for
the railway extensions. The Archbishop of San-
tiago and three diocesan Bishops have resolved at-
tending the (Ecumenical Council at Rome. The
Senate have voted $20,000 for the Bishops'
expenses.

The removal of the Chilian Legation from
London to Paris is approved of in Chili, the prin-
cipal reason being that England is not imitating
France in accrediting a Minister Plenipotentiary
and Envoy Extraordinary to Chili. Callaognano
charters are rather dull, the Government having raised
guano to £l3 per ton. Sugar and nitrate freights
are a dead letter. A treaty of commerce and navi-
gation has been adjusted between Peru and Italy,
and a similar treaty and postal convention between
Peru and the San Salvador Republic. Earth-
quakes continued throughout the Peruvian Southern
province; especially at Iquique.
Professor Falo's prediction of Peru being visited
from August 10th to 12th with similar earthquakes
to those of last year has not been realised. Many
inhabitants of Callao took flight, however, dread-
ing an inundation, and October Ist is looked for-
ward to witb trepidation. The weather continued
unusually cold.

The Peruvian President had published a decree
recognizing the independence of Cuba. Don
Miguel del Carphy, Judge of the Supreme Court,
and formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, was
dead.

Garcia Moreno was elected President of Ecuador.

The Nicaragua revolution continued, and several
engagements between the insurgents and the
Government forces had taken place.

The Honduras Government had expressed its
intention to help Nicaragua to put down the revo-

lution.

At Jamaica the market was extremely doll the
weather continued showery, and the growing crops
were much benefited.

Efforts were being made to procure some State
aid for the Church in, the island.

The principal llaytian logwood shipping ports
were closed or blockaded by Saget's vessels.

ALARMING FIRE AT STOCKTON-ON-

TEES.

A fire of a rapidly destructive character broke
out in the extensive premises of Mr. Richard Henry
Appleton, merchant, known as the Stockton Cla-
rence Steam Flour Mills, situate on Norton-road,
on Sunday night, at a few minutes to twelve
o'clock. The fire brigade and a body of police
were on the ground a short time afterwards.
There was a very good supply of water, but the
pressure was nothing like sufficient to reach the
building to any height. The flames leaped high,
and belched out of the numerous windows, and in
about half an hour after the discovery of the fire
the roof fell in, carrying away the charred floors
and joists, and throwing large pieces of firey
rubbish in all directions. As to the origin of
the fire there seems to be some mystery, but those
whose business it was to look after the premises
state that it was left all safe at nine o'clock on Sa-
turday. Very little grain was saved, but fortu-
dately for the sufferer the books and documents
were protected in one of Milner's fire-proof safes.
The damage to stock, consisting of grain, &c., and •
property is estimated at from £12,000 to £14,000'
The building, a noble structure, was only completed
a year ago.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

DESERTING PROM THE SHIP CORNWALL. —John Gilbert,
a thick set fellow, was charged with absconding from the
ship Cornwall at Purfleet before the expiration of a sen-
tence passed upon him by the magistrate at the Marl-
borough-street Police-court.

Police-constable Holman, 37 C R, proved taking the
prisoner into custody, and, on telling him the charge
he admitted having deserted from the ship, and said he
would do so again.
The prisoner said ho deserted because ho was starved
and flogged for nothing.

The father of the prisoner said that the prisoner told
him that he bad swam two miles and a half to get away.
Inspector Browning said the prisoner gave a bad account
of his treatment on board the ship; but he did not believe
him, as other lads who had returned from the ship gave a
very good account of it.

Mr. Knoz said the prisoner would be committed for a
mouth, and then sent back to the ship.

THAMES.

A MEAN THlEF.—Frederick Cramer, a German sugar
baker, 36 years, was charged with stealing a cloth coat,
value 7s. 6d., the property of Johann Soling, and a coat
and vest, value Bs., the property of Heinrich Groner.
The prisoner, a miserable looking fellow, had been in
the practice of robbing his fellow-workmen where he had
been living, and in sugar refineries where he had been em-
ployed. He was living in the same dwelling as Snling,
who missed a coat. Groner, who was living in Clifton-
street, Finsbury, left in the care of his landlord, to whom
he was indebted for rent, a box containing all the c:othes
and other property he had in the world except the suit he
stood upright in. The poor man after a long absence
waited on his landlord last week, and upon opening his
box missed a cast and waistcoat. The prisoner who then
lived in the same house was suspected, and was taken
into custody. He then Said ho had sold the coat
at a rag-shop for a shilling, and tho waistcoat was at
home. The other coat was pawned for ss.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and offered no excuse for
robbing his countrymen.

Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a very dangerous
thief, and had been in the practice of going into poor mon's
lodgings and stoaling their clothes. There was no doubt ho
would not be employed again in any sugar house, and that
his countrymen would not associate with him any moro.
He sentenced the prisoner to throe months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

A board of officers, consisting of Col. Elrington
(4th battalion Rifle Brigade), president; Lieut.-
Col. Pearson (2d battalion 3d Buffs), and Lieut.-
Col. Walker (2d battalion Rifle Brigade), mem-
bers, assembled at the Controller's Office, Alder-
shott, on Monday, to examine and select for trial
some water bottles of new pattern for use in the
army.

ANOTHER STONY OF LORD AND LADY
BYRON.

Another story of the causes which led to the separation
)f Lord from Lady Byron is given in the New York
" George, the Count of Johannes," of the•
'Supreme Court of New York, founds a right to claim
the privilege of establishing the falsity of the charge'
drought by Mrs. Stowe against Lord Byron on long
personal acquaintance with Mrs. Leigh, with the'
Countess Guiccioli, and with the late Lord Harrington,'
formerly Colonel Leicester Stanhope, the intimate
friend of Lord Byron. The writer starts by
denouncing Mrs. Stowe's narrative as an atrocious libel,
is by no means complimentary to her generally, and is
critical upon her inaccuracy as to dates in this matter in
particular. He would have it that one day Lord Byron
said he was sorry Mary Chaworth was unhappy in her
marriage. "Had we married (he added) it might have
been different." Upon this sighing remark Lady
Byron instantly arose, and in great anger
uttered these fatal words : ' Mary Chaworth rejected
you for your deformity, as I did once ; and it
had been better if I had still rejected a man with A
devil's foot ! ' and with those words she left the apart-
ment. To Lord Byron, sensitive as the quivering aspen
leaf upon that very fact of his deformity—his curse of
life,' as he once said to Trelawney—those words were
as daggers in the breast of love, estem, of respect ; and
from that moment they were as strangers. Each kept
their own apartments, and each sought those friends
best entitled to advise. Lady Byron sent for her former
governess, who was the cause of Miss Millbanke's previous
rejection of Lord Byron. She came, and of course took
sides with her former pupil, over whose mind she had
great influence. Then the poet sent for Augusta, his
half•sieter. The first resolution of the brother upon
the arrival of his sister was that he would separate
from his wife, and by a legal document to that effect.
This resolution was successfully resisted by the Hon•
Mrs. Leigh, upon the ground that, as Lady Byron seas
enceinte, and in a few months would become a mother,
should the husband separate before the birth, it might
cast a reproach, upon the child. This argument was con-
clusive ; Lord Byron, therefore, determined to remain
until after the birth, and then, upon the convalescence of
the mother, to separate, at least for a time. As Lady
Byron was prone to be jealous, It was no difficult matter
to create that .feeling towards Augusta, and finally to
arouse a criminal snspicion, instigated by the governess,
who urged the fact that the Hon. Mrs. Leigh was only
the half-sister of the poet. This poissnous suggestion
having entered the brain of Lady Byron, it permeated her
intellect until she became upon that false idea a mono-
maniac, and thus Ahe lived and so she died.

The same writer gives an entirely different account of
the last interview between Lord and Lady Byron :---
Lord Byrori left his own room and went into that, of
Lady Byron's to •take farewell of his wife and (laugh'

ter, and he had sent word to that effect. There
were present the father, mother, and infant child
(the nnrse left upon his entrance). The husband
received into his arms " Ada Augusta," kissed ber
with deep emotion, and wept. He took the hand of hie
weeping wife, and, while thus situated, he said, with a
deep Sigh, the words of his favourite author, Shakspere,
'When shall we three meet again?' to which the wife
responded, On earth, I hope.' Lord Byron replied,
'ln heaven, I trust ;' and those were his last words toper,
as lie gave back the infant to its mother, and silently
and slowly left the chamber. As to 'Lady Byron's caress'
ing the spaniel,' &c., it is fiction, and well it might be, since
the spaniel was a large dog of the Mont St. Bernard
breed, and always at night guarded his master's door, as
formerly when at Newstead."

Lord Byron is also stated to have denied the imputation
against him on his death bed to Colonel Leicester Stall;
hope. '" Within his dying hour Lord Byron requeste
all to leave the Chamber except Colonel the Hon. Leices.
ter Stanhope. The poet then knew that he was dying'
and said to his friend, 'Stanhope, I wish you to tak°
charge of my dead body to England. See that it is buried
in the grave of my mother. Stanhope, I declare to
you, at this solemn moment, that the former accusation
by Lady Byron against me and my faithful sister wit:
" A lie, an odious, damned lie ! Upon my soul, a wicket'
lie ! and so defend us when again assailed." Colonel
Stanhope took the hand of his dying friend and said;
'Byron, the name of Augusta being added to that 0'
Ada at the baptism of your daughter, and at the request
of Lady Byron, as told me by your sister, dispersed that
slander for ever; but if you would be happier, sell('
your dying declaration by your confidential valet'
Fletcher, and ordered him to see Lady Byron with Your
death denial.' I will do so,' said the dying P°et,;
' Send Fletcher to me. God bless you, Stanhope. Of all
men you I best love. You will live to see the freedom °I
this classic land when I shall be no more. Adieu !" Col,°‘
nel Stanhope bade adieu to his friend for ever, and witiull
half-an-hour thereafter Fletcher was at the bedside of
his dying master. Then took place the oft-repeated
broken sentences cited by Mrs. Stowe and others, but new

you will see her, and say '—here his voice failed from e%..

dying man would have repeated to his faithful valet wluit
he had already declared to his faithful friend."
" John Robertson" writes :—" Lady Noel BYtella

her circle of friends very closely coincided with 0'.7

of which she accused her dead husband, but latterif
