NEwsTEAD ABBEY FOR SALE.-Newstead Abbey,
Byron's English home, is to be sold at public auc-
tion on the 18th day of June next. The Abbey,
about ten miles from Nottingham, and one hundred
and thirty-four from London, founded by
Henry H., in the latter part of the 18th century,
and was one of the ecclesiastical buildings erected
by that monarch in the hope of expiating by acts
of devotion the murder of Thomas a Beckett. at
is, SAYS Irwin, some of the finest specimens in ex
istence of those quaint and romantic piles, half
castle, half convent, which remain monuments
of the oldcn times of England. 1t stands in the
midst of a legendary neighbOrhood, being in the
heart of Sherwood Forest, and surrounded by the
haunts of Robin Hood and his band of outlaws, so
famous in ancient ballad and nursery tale 1t is
true, the first scarcely exists but in name, and the
tract of country over which it once extended its
broad solitudes and shades is now an open and
smiling region, cultivated with parks and farms,
and envened with villages" At the dissolution
of the Abbeys by Henry VIII, Newstead was given
by grant to Sir John Byron, Steward of Manches-
ter and Rochdale, and Lieutenant of Sherwood For
est. his early proprietor of the property is known
in the traditions of the place as "Sir John Byron
the Little with the Great Beard" He con-
verted the sanity edice into a castellated dwell
ing, making it his favorite residence and the
scene of his forest jurisdiction. From that period
until the time of Byron the poet, it remained in
possession of the family. ByrOn's uncle was
man of morose and desperate character, who was
separated from his wife, lived in gloomy retire
ment at Newsstand, and allowed the place to suffer
seriously for want OF repairs 1t was on his death
that Byron came into possession of the estate.
Moore, in his 'Life of Byron" gives a simple but
striking anecdote of the first arrival of the poet at
the domains of his aneestors:-"They byron and
| his mother) had arrived at the New street Toll
| bar, and saw the woods of the Abbey stretching
out to receive them, when Mrs. Byron, affecting to
be ignorant of the place, asked the woman of the
| dollhouse to whom that seat belonged. She was
| told that the owner of it had been some months
dead 'And who is the next heir p asked the proud
and happy mother. They say answered the old
woman, 'it is little boy who lives at Aberdeen.
'And this is he; bless him., exclaimed the nurse,
longer able to contain herself and turning to kis;
with delight the young lord who was seated on her
| lap'
