LORD JIND LID? BYRON.

It has (yet been a rule, fa conducting TIM STAR,
to avoid statements affecting the quiet of domestic
life, and cot even to notice reports which from their
complexion might appear calculated to disturb the
peace of individuals—till the parties, by their own
act. force the circumstances to come before the re-
view of the public. On this principle we h ire hi-
therto forborne to add to the publicity of any of the
reports in circulation ,respecting Lord Braox's fa-
Circumstances however have now become so
public, that to withhold them from our Readers
would answer no good purpose.
The Morning Chronicle having inserted a paragraph
which either conveyed, or was conceived by Lady
I,lftoe's relations to convey the idea of the existence
of a conspiracy against the domestic peace of Lord
Brno t, it appears that Sir RALPH Non, th father
of Lady BYRON, called at the. Office of that Paper,
and requested that it might be unequivocally stated,
that no conspiracy existed. On the following day a
paragraph appeared in the Moriing Chronicle stating,
that Sir RALPH declared, that he him of no con-
spiracy. Dissatisfied with the form of the contra-
diction, Sir RALPH addressed a letter to the Editor
for insertion. The Editor, to allow time for consi-
deration, intrigued Sir RALPH that he wool.] delay,
.its publication for a day ; but Sir RALPH, to avoid
delay, sent it for insertion in other Papers, and the
Editor has this day published his answer—the fol.
lowing are copies ;

" Mivares Hotel, Lower Brook•street, April 18.

" Sat —I observe with the greatest dissatisfaction the manner
in which you have inserted, In 'lle Morning Chronicle of to-day,.
the unqualified contradiction I gave you yesterday of the para-
graph in your former Paper, which stated the ealstence of a
conspiracy against Lord be ewes domente peace. I did not say
that—' /ism of nu conspiracy against Lord Br a o s's domestic
peace, but I told you in the most decided manner, that I knew
no conspiracy of the kind had ever existed; alit the report was
utterly false; and I gave you my word of honour, that the step taken
by Lady Briton was the result a her own unbiassed judgment,
and that her parents and friends interfered only when called upon
by her to afford her their support. In the necessity of the rep,
indeed, her friends fully concurred, but its the sug;estion of it
they had no concern. Having given you this assurance in the
most solemn manner, I called upon you to onntralict the para-
graph on my authority—you bays done so, but in a manner tit-
reel). unsatisfactory; and I have to request that ynu will insert
this letter in your Paper of to-morrow, M which I repeat that no
conspiracy whatever ever misted against Lord Bette:el domestic
"vice.

" Yon Wyo. in another part of the conernation which ensued,
entire:). mistook me. I never stated that the publication in a
Soneay Journal was ' much to my disquiet and coniemnation:
1,111 in reply to someobservations or yours, it was asserted merely
as a lac:, that no paragraphs hos ile to Lord Beaus had origi-
nated with Lady 11TROV or hrr immediate frienda, or were
published with their knowledge ; and that 1 shnuld lament very
much the necessify of rnakirg this subject the theme of further
discussion in the Paprrs, wh.ch 1 Lave always ditap-
prioted'of in questions that concern the refs ions of private life.--
See.h were way observations. In the. present !natant*, I conceive
these diseitalons bate sprung front the publication of Lord
Briton's Verses, as I do not remember that' the subject was ever
canvassed before—they have .certainly not originated wkly Lady
liraow.—l am, Sit, your bumble servant,

Halted the result of the long conversation that pared between us,
and not the derail, from' motivos of the moot anxious concern
for all parties. You certainly said, in the Ara instance, that
• no conspiracy had ever existed agaiust the domestic peace of
Lord BYROM; to which you will do me the justice to recollect I
answered, that you coLld speak to this only from the best of
your own knowledge and belief, and that I perfectly acquitted
you of all participation im it, but that I remained fully convinced.
from circumstances with in•my own knowledge, that nothing but
gross misrepresentation antfivalignant inEuence could have pre-
vailed on a wife, whose duty it was to cleave to her husband. and
partitularly such a wife as Lord Brame always described his
Lady to be, to take the step which she did, and to rennin appa-
iently implacable to all the overtures of reconciliatloa that have
since been made. Both you and Colonel Dovxt acknowledged
that you could not espect me to glee up the convktlon of my
Mind, and you appeared to me perfectly to acquiesce in the way
that I put it, which was, that 1 had your authority to declare
that go oonapiracy, tri goer knowledge, existed against the Noble
Lett . •
" I did not wish to aggravate the unhappy difference by going
into all the gonversatiou which took place, nor state the bores-
rloo which was .made on my.feelings by your declaration, that
Lady B's separation from her husband was the result of her
,own.uoblaseed judgment,' a step which I said, from respect to
the lady, I eould.not have supposed possible ; my own Ideas of
the cooduct.ot noble•mindetteronsao being eo contrary; and

A very serious accident happened yesterday, near

turned in a gig, occasioned by the horse being

b ink, and the Gentleman so seriously injured, as to
conv,:yed with much difficulty to a surgeon's, but
with little hopes of recovery. The Lady, fortunately.
e'-aped unhurt.
The Earl of DEDBY's hounds had an excellent rim
on Saturday last. The deer was turned out atWalton
Heath, and after a circuit of between forty and fifty
miles, was taken at Ockham, near Ripley, in Surrey.
The Earl was thrown out in consequence of kt•eping
too witch below the hill at fit st ; the stag taking a
direction contrary to what the best judge; had calcu-
lated upon. Lord STANLEY and sev:•ral of his ft iends
were itt at the taki g, and adjourned to the Talbot
Inn, at Ripley, whi:re they took some refteArnents,
and having left the deer in the care of Mr. Mow:,
went hcalie in a chaise and four, highly delighted
with the d ry's sport. Soon after the stag was put
into the stable at the inn ; one of the Gentierora who
had partaken of the sport, wished for a trophy cf sus
esplons and asked leave of the huntsman to go iiito
*the stablei and pluck a few hairs from the animal for
this purpose. His request was readily ;panted, and
be accordingly advai:ced to accolopi;ili his design,
when the back, tired as he was, n:t willing to receive
a manlier into such close intimacy, made a plurge
at the Gentleman, and laid him sprawling, on the
stores! He therefcre dirt nied it prudent to make a
precipitate retreat, and probably will not wish to
repeat the experiment upon the next deer lie may
see taken. The animal was afterward 4, removed to
the Oaks.

A report prevailed a few days since, that some
ingenious Englishmen bad possessed themselves of
that hitherto impenetrable secret, that grand object
of alchymy, the Philosopher's Stone. The first use
they made of their discovery was to transmute less
tl.an £5O into more than 1100 pounds weight of Gold.
We need scarcely say that the whole body of Phi-
losophers by Fire was ;n a blaze of impatience to be
enlightened on this subject. Alembics and Cucur-
bits, Retorts and Pelicans were all abandoned, the
great discoverers wera quickly Inund and assailed
on all sides when Olt 1 dire disappointment .to the
aforesaid Philosophers, the grand Secret still re-
ermined. unknown, for the plain fact was, that these
Gentlemen had laid out about 450 at the Otlices of
RICHARDSON, GOODLUCK, & Co. on N 05,10,244, and'
431, which produced them 50,000 Guineas. Thus
it is proved; that a Lottery Ticket or Share is the
true Philosophers' Stone.
Tuesday evening last four fellows, dressed as
Gentlemen, went into a Coffee-house, in Villier's.
street, Strand, whence they stele a new green silk
umbrella, value £l. 16s. Passing the bar on going
out, one of them said—" I never heard such lan-
page." This was merely a ruse, to divert attention.
EI:EMIT-M.—Agreeably to his sentence, Isaac
Br leaky was executed in front of Warwick gaol, on
Thursday, for the murder of Ann Smith, in the pa-
rish of Over Whitacre, on the night of the 10th of
October last. On Wednesday the Reverend Mr.
LAUG/lARr.E visited him for four hours, but be main.
taintd an unvarying denial of the crime. 011 Thurs-
day morning he dictated a letter, to his " Dear Fa.
ther, Mother, Brother, and Sisters," in which he ac-
knowledged his general sinfulness, bet as to the mur-
der for which be was about to stiffer, he knew nothing
of it. At nine o'clock the Chaplain visited him in his
cell, and remained with him nearly an hour. At ten
he was conducted across the felons' yard, with the

- -
other convicts under sentence of death, to the chapel ;
they were followed by all the prisoners. •When the
. :-.1-;rits were seatedeßrindley had the Sacrament ad-
• ...inistered to him 41:e most soicrec m.nner :I:w-
-ring which time he repeatedly said—,, I am innocent

never faultered when partaking of the holy ordinance.
At the c!ose of this service, the Clergyman spoke to
the other prisoners, in 2 very forcillle address, and
again asked Brindley if he was satisfied to leave the
werld persisting in his innocence ? He said, ‘, Yes;
I am innocent." Shortly after he was conducted
across the felons' yard, and shook hands with all the
prisoners as he passed. The solemn procession moved
to the place of execution, the prisoner walking with a
firm step. On the platform the Clergyman requested
him to offer up an ejaculatory prayer to the AL-
' attoirre, which he immediately did ; and also ad-

Bow-Slum. Yesterday cirif &Woo was
brought to theOlfice, ehgrged with a 4iolent assault
upon Sohn Strewn, s door-keiper to Messrs. Butler
and Ward, who keep. t lock-up house in Stanhope-
street, Clare.market, the prisoner having been to the
said house to visit Florence Egan, Esq. who was con-
fined for a debt of str2oo, when, on pretending to
take leave of each other, the prosecutor was rushed
down, and Egan made his escape out of the house ;
but the prisoner was stopped and secured. He was
ordered to find bail.

Istswatots-House.—Yesterday R. Can WAS charged
with stealing a silver Waterloo medal and 17s. 2d. iii
money, from the person of Ralph Jackson, of the
2,1 battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards.
It appeared that the parties_met together acciden-
tAly in a public-house in Gtticechurch-street, on
'ilursday evening, where they drank until they were
cads inebriated. The prisoner afterwards invited the
prosecutor to another Louse, where the latter became
quite insensible, and fell asleep. During this time
the prisoner cut away the medal which was suspended
Iron; i!fe breast Of the prosecutor (and which he de.
cl.-red he would ag sooner yield his life than lose"),
airf
and took from him the meet already mentioned.—
The prisoner, in his delen ', did not deny having
taken off the medal, to account for which, however,
he was utterly unable, unless it was from frolic, and
',ling extremely intoxicated. As to his having taken
the money he totally denied the imputation, and re-
ferred to his general character as proof sufficient
against it. Several persons of respectability spoke
in warm terms of the prisoner's character, and attri-
buted the present circumstance only to the effects of
I liquor, to ,which be was unfortunately addicted.
The LORD MAYOR said, from the state of baulks--
lion in which the prosecutor acknowledged himself to
be, and the sum of money it must have taken to
make him so, he was of opinion he had spent the
greater part, if not all of which he conceived he had
been robbed, in treating himself and his friend. He
advised him, therefore, if he valued his medal, which
no doubt he had gloriously earned, to be more cats-
tious in iris future conduct with respect to drinking,
and recommendieg the prisoner to furnish the al Wa-
.terloo man" k%ith 4 new ribbon for his medal, the
case was dismissed. • •

UNioN H01e..—,/oho Allen was brought up by Hall
and May, charged by Mail Churchman, the wife of
a grave digger. residing in Union-street, Lambeth,
with stopping her on the highway on Saturday night
last, and robbing her of four pounds sixteen shillings.
The prosecutrix stated, that her husband being out
ou Saturday night last, she went to several public-
hc.uses to look tor him, at one of them• she met the
primer, whom she had seen before, and who of-
fered to go with her to look for her husband. They
accordingly went to several public-houses together.
;Ind at some of them she treated- the prisoner with
something to drink. They were thus engaged till
near two o'clock on Sunday morning in an useless
pursuit, when, being on their way to another pubic.
house, which she had determined should be the last,
the prisoner attempted to take some improper I;ber-1
ties, am! on her resisting him he knocked her down,
dragged her about by the shawl till she was almost I
strangled. 'and then took f: om her pocket her pocket.
book, containing four 41 notes and 1f s. in silver, and
ran away. The prosecutris gave information to H.tll, I
who, accompanied by May and God; sent and Lock:
the prisoner from the midst of a Desperate gang to I
which he belonged.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of the pr secir-
trix
cr of her money. He was, however, fulfil corn-
milted for trial at the Assizes.

HATTON-GAREMN. —Yesterday Join Sullivan, an
Irish labourer, was brought up from the watc!t•l:souse
charged on the oath of Ann Mahoney. with beating
her father so that he then lay en his bed in a nr,,t
dangerous state. in confirmation of which there
was a written certificate, signed ,‘ George Shipman,
surgeon. Aylesbury-street," produced, stating, tb:•t
he visited Mahoney, who was so severely beaten drat
the could not pronounce him out of clinger. The
witness was then examined, and she stated, that about
eight o'clock the preceding evening, she, in company
with her father and mother on their return from an
Irish funeral, went into the Noah's Ark, in Wood-
bridge-street, Clerkenwell, where they had a pint of
porter; that at the time the prisoner sat in a box in,
the tap-room with a pot with some porter in it before
him ; that the prisoner banded the pot to her father
to drink, and alter her father drank he was going out,
and the.prisoner said he should not go until he paid
for a pot of porter, which on his refusing to do the
prisoner stood up and knocked him down, he then
began kicking him in various parts of the body, and
trampled on him.—The prisoner was remanded for
examination.

gislature, making provision for the appointment of
Guardians for habitual Drunkards, to take care of
their property and effects. The Guardian is to be
appointed by the Court of Common Pleas, after ap.

sionors, and their decision that the drunkard is unfit
for the management of his estate. The appointment
to be annulled whenever the drunkard shall reform,
and be again capable of managing his concerns.
BONAPARTIL•••A letter has very recently been-re-
ceived in this town (Boston, Lincolnshire) from a
Gentleman residing at St. Helena. The writer
states, that Longwood Hon*, the future rm idenee of

by no means a favourite with the inhabitants of the
