Eolian Harp, Of a new kind.

The following article has in ii sometime
extremely whimsical. The action of a
musical instrument fve hundred feet in
length, seems all but ridiculous; and vet if
these wires really are affected by variations
in the atmosphere. why may they not be
rendered musical by means of proportion
ate Iengtil, thickness, composition Of metal,
or combination of metals To say the
least, the vigilance of such an instrument
would be iGcessant. A man might lie in
his bed, and receive notice by recita-
tive of change in the weather; he might
gather from the sprightly tones of his
monitor, better than from any Waterman;
the beautiful morning about to break on
him (; or he might infer from the melancho.
iy tones of his wires, the probability of a
wet day, and provide himself with clofhes
accordingly. What else ?-let the read.

mineral bodies also are affected by the

of Philosophical Transactions, Gen. Roy

pendulum OF a clock is such, that every

ed in its nature, merely by being suspend

principle of expansion. sit is composed, ;
she says, Of fourteen wires closely dispo-
sed, fastened at one end to pavilion, and
at the other end to wall at the extremity
of the garden, and at the distance of about
FIVE hundred feet. The variations of the
atmosphere excite the vibrations of these
wires, and make them sound in singular
manner. In settled weather, constantly
fair or constantly rainy, the instrument Is
silent. lfany change is to happen if any

Lord and Lady Byron.

The public are aware of the separation
OF lord and lady Byron, whose marriage i.
but a recent event. This unfortunate do
mestic occurrence has been the subject of
various remarks and statements in difie-
emit newspapers. First Of all appeared two
little poems by his lortiship; one fare
well to the lady, and the other reaectin.
| on the conduct Of some female friend of
her laayship's. Then paragraph appear
ed in the Morning Chronicle, which was
conceived by the lady's friend to imply
that conspiracy had existed against his
Iorlship's domestic peace. Sir Ralph
Noel, father Of lady Byron, requested this
! insinuatIOn to be contradicted in that pub.
Fication but the denial not being satisfac.
! tory, sir Ralph wrote letter to the editor
for immediate publication, in which he
states on his honor, that the step taken by
lady Byron was the result Of her own un.
BIASED judgment, and that her parents and
friends interfered only, when called u, on
by her to afford her their support. The
editor of the Morning Chronicle wished to
delav the publication for day, on which
Sir Ralph sent his letter to other papers.
The editor has since published it, together
with copy of his answer, in which he de.
clares that what he had inserted was di.
rected against the infamous aspersions
that had been cast on lord Byron, and
that he had written the paragraphs accord
ing to his understanding of Sir Ralph's de-
ella atoms. He enters at some length into
the conduct of Lady Byron, and says, that
on asking why noreply was given to an
application for the specific charges against
lord Byron, Sir Ralph said, the lady acted
in this by the advice ofDr. Lushingtnn. Sir
Ralpe replied briefly to the editors letter
stating that he might take the responsible
ty on himself for what he might choose to
publish, and declining any further commu-
nication on the subject, So we suppose that
the public will be amused, or displeased.
with further par ticulars of this unpleasant
domestic difference.
