Death of Lady Byron.

We learn by the Glasgow, that on the 18th
lnstact, Lady Byron, the widow of the great
poet, died at London, in the &c b year Of her
age. She was born ia. 1874, and was the only
daughter and heir of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel,
Baronet. 1t 1856 she succeeded to the barony
OF Wentworth. She was married to Lord By.

known, most unhappy TO botA husband and
he lived with his wife only some thirteen days.
Their only child,
f" Ada, sole daughter of my house and heart"
was married TO Earl Lovelace, and died eight
years ago.
The marriage of Byron with Miss Milbanke
was one prompted by motives of interest.
Lord Byron, in ono of his letters, gives the
following description of Lady Byron during the
time of their engagement -" What an odd
situation and friendship is ours! Without one
spark OF love on either side, and produced by
circumstances which, in general, lead to calm
ness on one side and aversion on the other
She is very superior woman, and very little

wish quick sales at fair prices, they must not
bring poor, half fed cattle to this market Let
them bring good first and second quality. and they
will find sales at paying prices. And We should
not hear the incessant cry, dull market no

about cattle will apply the same to sheep and
