WIDOW OELORD BYRON.

ASDovRR, November 10, 1856.
To tie Eiitor of the Boston Telegraph
a note from Lady Byron (the widow of the
poet to Mrs. Stowe, OF which send you copy:
October 10, 1856.
Dear Mrs Stowe: Will you kindly under
take, in transmitting my subscription towards
the relief of the sufferers in Kansas, to secure
this point-that the money shall not'bc applied
to the purpose of propidling arms? 1t is, how
ever, intended as an expression of sympathy
with those who have resisted oppression at the
hazard of life and property aud i cannot but
hope that such sympathy is felt as warmly by
many here as by
yours most truly,
a. I. NOEL BYRoN.n
The inclosure was draft for 65 pounds ster.
ling.
Having had the pleasure of a personal ac-
quaintance with Lady Byron, can testify that
she is one of the most intelligent and most truly
excellent women have ever seen; and her
sympathy, good will and prayers for the cause
are, tony feelings, mere gratifying than any
amount of money. i win say of her what was
said of Mary in the Gospel: "She hath done
what she could. > Respectfully yours,
@, E.. STOWE.
FRoM NIcARAGuA.@The last adyices from
Nicaragua are that Gen. Walker had appointed
Fermin Ferres, native Nicaraguan, as Minister
from that country to the United States Col
Wheeler, the American Minister, was still in
poor health, and was about to return home
Reports favorable to Walkers continued sue

The following, which we take from the Panama
Star, of October 23d, gives different account
of w alker's late victories from those already
published:
From private letter received from Greytown
by the Royal West India steamer Dec, we have
been favored with the following extract:
From the interior there are so many contra
dictory statements that really none of them are
reliable; the most so is, thaton the 18th Walker
marched his forces to Masaya, and when within
two miles of there the allied forces came out to
meet him, and after some skirmishing retreated
to that town, where Walker received n very
warm reception, SO much so, as TO think Grana-
da more hospitable quarters On his return.
which was most unexpected, he found the city
IN possession ofa party of ChomorriSts from
Chantales, numbering some 800, who had sack
ed the city, even Walkers private papers COM
ing into their hands, and Granada was theirs
We're 1t not that in their eagerness for plumber
they neglected the necessary precaution for de-
fence. They stripped Walker Of all of his cloth

his army, Walkers position is now critical
one, and on his next battle depends his fate.--
He receives numerous augmentations and plen-
THU npplies BY every opportunity, neyerthe-
less the assertions from his army are numerous.
In the last battle he was $50 strong: the 300
men who occupied Granada made bad use of
their time, and thought more ofpluntier than Of

were in Granada behaved well; defending the

The mex tbattle, which must be fought at Ma
saga, will probably decide the fate OF Central
America and were il not for the jealousy Of the
native forces there is no doubt ON what side the
victory would be; in fact they have too many
generals who quarrel and intrigue among them
selves, and nentralize the good they might 9TH
