From the New York Evening Post, IDLY 2s
LORD BYRON.

We Yesterday gave an extract from
Life of Lord Byron, ust published in Lon
don, respecting the "Corsair." The sub.
joined is from the same work, and cannot
fail TO be read with equal interest by the
admirers ofthat celebrated nobleman:
while at Venice, Lord Byron's fondneas
for aquatic excursions, which he engaged in
almost daily was very nearly proving fatal
to himself and his company. Every one
was eager for the honour Of attending him.
and there was not a gondolier in Venice, or
mariner ~ the Adratic, who did not lock
upon the English Lord as one oe their own
fraternity, and would have run any risk to
obge or serve him. lie was very partial
to the island Of Sahioncelio, which lies in the
neghbourhood Of the city of Ragusa. He
generally went thithcr in four-oared gon-
dola, in company with the marchioness
c., and two or three friends His writ
ing materials he took care never to be with
out, and the lady tool; her sketch book: she
had good taste for landscape painting. 4
curious incident once occurred On one of
these voyages: there are several small is
lands on the way, and they often touched
at them to refresh, shoot, or FISH for a few
hours The Lesser Grossa is rock barely
covered with verdure, and not more than
half mile long, and about as much i'll
breadth. Early one day they all landed on it;
and as there is a fine spring near its centre,
where the only shelter from the sun can be
found under some bushes, they resolved to
dine nearthat spot. The gondoliers were
set to work, lighting fire and cooking fish,
and all the party for two hours enioyet
themselves without reelection or care. When
they thought on cmbarking loi the boat
4 had drfted out to sea, and hey beheld hcl
the sport the waves, full two leagues FROM
i land. They were twenty miles from ssa-
bioncello, and the islands nearer were moi
inhabited. His lordship laughed heartily al
the dreadful visagc Of his companions; bu
it was really no laughing matter, as boats ol
vessels very seldom came near the place.
They had guns, ammuni on and fishing tac
kle in plenty, and some provisions; but in til,
boat there was store for week, for which
they might now sigh in vain. They began
BY erecting a flag gStafif, on which they hun!
white silk cloak belonging to the lady, as
signal Of distress, and by means Of cloak
spread over the bushes, they formed a kin,
of tent, and had no alternative but to wal
:. patiently until they should be starved t
death by cold or hunger or relieved by som
t chance vessel observing their signal, an
hearing their guns which they fired at in
= tervals. The weather was fine, and tn
b tent beng occnpied by the lady, the gentle

We learn from, the Norfolk Herald. that
the name of the munihcent individual who
emancpated upwards Of eighty slaves and
chartered the brig Hannah and Elizabeth of

are rather surprised that it has been
so late in displaying itself. Ifno great

see nothing to aprehend from the de-
movement of the great drama so long
announced Of Which the late proceed

upon them.
