without either the reproach or the sus-

herfriends will allow her own evidence
against herself
OF Henry BuIwer, Herbert Grim
stone,J we need only say that he is the
reHtiest and most unassumiDg of men,
s,rikiugIy elegant in dress and man
uers, and distinguished for his own bril-
liant powers of conversation as much
as for an aristocratic exterior as was
ever admired in London His literary
character needs no defence.
The person most slandered is the
mober-inlaw, Mrs. Lytton Bulwer. She
s. .In real life,) a lady somewhat ad-
yanced, slender, and Of middle size,
with regular, and still handsome fea-
lures, and bearing in her soft and sweet
manners the clearest possible evidence
Of her gentle descent and high breed
ing Our readers know, of course, that
N-. Bulwer IS descended by both parents
from TWO of the most ancient families
10 England. His mothers house in
London is the resort of London's choI-
ccst and most aristocratic society, and
We DO not remember to have seen abroad
more polished and serene example of
calm high breeding and gentle manners
than Mrs. Lytton Bulwer in her own
house. The mother may always be
Judged fairly by the children.
Miss Wheeler, (alias Julia Neville,
4zltag Lafy Lytton Bulwer,) was the
daughter Of a most worthy and respec-
table widow, living some three years
ago in Park News, a small lane running
ID the rear OF Seymour Place, May Fair.
Mrs. Wheeler was early left a widow
with one daughter, a pale, handsome,
slender girl. who CHANGED to attract the
attention Of Edward Bulwer, then fresh
from College The attachment was
romantic one. and soon discovered, and
strenuously opposed by Mr.. Bulwer's
mother We have many times listened
% the story of their meeting ''to drink
tea" with a sympathising lady, who oc-
clpicd "three pair of stairs back" in
Fleet Street, and who ultimately sue
Cceied in marrying two persons, who |
were neither. as she then thought, |
"lOng for this world" To her great |
surprise, Miss Wheeler has since turned |
out to be among the latest of women,
and Mr. Bulwer the most immortal of |
men. The aristocratic mother was soon
reconciled to the match, but as the nov
81 shows the daughter-in-law continued

member Of the family, her husband in
