obscurity, remain among the many
strange5 mysteries which lie hidden II,
.theahnals Of the house Of Byron. How
his life was spent after he passed from
out the knowledge Of his own rank and
class, what relations be formed amidst
bis new associates, in what connection
he may have became involved; were all
questions which were asked eagerly for
an hour; aud no sRs@er being given,
were speedily forgotten. 1t was, indeed,
reported that he bad left wife behind
him, born in an humble sphere, yet for
all thai, Baroness Of Wentworth; but
then the report wascontradicted, and as
no claimant appeared to demand the
rank due to the widow Of peer, tho
story was supposed 70 have been based
on pothing but idle rumor. Months.
however, went BY, and still the sursiv.

made no claim 10 the dormant peerage.
and men wondered whether the fate
which marred the career Of the eldest
Of Byron,s grand-sons was 10 be that
also Of the second and only surviving
heir Of chat noble name. At last this
doubt has, been removed, and Ralph
Gordon Noel, Viscoant .Oekham, has
Appealed to theiHouse Of Lords to be
installed in the honors and dignities of
the bsrony of Wentworth. The time
during which this appeal has been de.
lsyed suggests an unavoidable refee,

had been daily married at any period
before his DEATH aud poslhumous
child Of either sex had been born of this
short lived union. that child, and MOI

been the heir to the female barony of
Wentworth. Till this interval, then.
had elapsed, 1t was perhaps useless for
the present clafmant to appeal. to lhe
House Of Lords and We may safely IS.
sumo that il must have been some
doubt 40 to whether the deceased Peer
died 6nmarfied, or, II married, without
issue, that has caused the Compaittee Of
