BYRoNs LovEs.-SeveraI women W ere in love
with Byron, but none 30 violently as Lady Caro-
line Lamb. She absolutely beseiged him. he
showed methe first letter he received from her
in which she assured him that II he was in auy
want of money, "all her jewels were at his SER
vice" They frequently had quarrels, and more
than once, on coming home, i have found Lady
C. walking in the garden, and waiting for me
to beg that would reconcile them When she
met Byron at q party she would always, if DOS ii.
BILE, return home from 1t 10 his garbage, and as.
conpanied by him; recollect particularly their
returning to town together from Holland House.
But such was the insanity Of her passion for BY.
ron, that sometimes, when not invited to q pariy
where he was to be- she would wait for him In
the street until IL was over. One night alter a
great party at Devonshire House, to which Lady
caroline had not been invited saw her-yes,
saw her-taiking with Lord Byron, with half her
body thrust into the carriage which he had just
entered In spite Of all this absurdity my firm
belief is that there was nothing criminal about
them. Byron at last was sick of her When this
intimacy was at an end, and while she was living
in the country, she burned very solemnly, On q
sort Of funeral pile transcripts Of all the letters
which she had received from Byron, and q cory OF
miniature (his portrait) which he had presented
to her; several girls from the neighborhood, whom
she dressed in white garments, dancing around
the pile, and singing song which she had written
for the occasion, Burn, fire, burn" &c -Rodyers
