A curious scene was witnessed the other
day at st. Petersburg Russia. The first reoi-
ment of the Imperial Horse guards was drawn
up in line, when young officer, dressed in fnlI
regimentals, was led up to the colonel of the
regiment, who struck him in the face, took his
sword from him, ordered him to kneel down,
broke his sword over him, told two other Off
GERS to tear off his uniform, and then had him
clad in the coarse uniform of private soldier
of the line The officer thus degraded had
stolen money from one of his comrades, and
committed number of forgeries.

Mr. PEABODY, as the cable informs us, died
&C his residence in Eaton.square." ID was
one of the peculiarities of Mr.. Peabody that he
never would have house of his own. He
cared little for HIMSELF in all things-it was his
habit, for instance, to dine off mutton chop at
the grand dinners he used to give, where every
luxury was spread upon the table. He had
room in the house of his old friend, Sir Curtis
M. Lampson, in Eaton square, and it was there
that he died. He used to live there in the most
quiet and retired manner, and his name did
not appear in any directory or "Court Guide"
He has suffered much during the last four
years, and could very seldom be induced to call

doctors orders nor took his medicine. As one

of New York made speech at Albany Friday
night in response to serenade, congratulate
ing bis bearers on the Democratic victory in
that State, in which he made thu following
hopeful promises: a4IL.Uu.I
We propose to make the Legislature of the
State of New York honest and that is what
they have not done in some time. We pro-
pose to use the Legislature for the purpose of
promoting the interests of the mass of the peo-
pie and not the interests of the few, which the
Radicals have not done for a long time. The
Evening Journal has stated that for many years
there have been few men in the Republican
Legislature who could be bought We will
show them that in Democratic Legislature
there will be none of that kind. We propose
to give to the people of the State of New York
all over the right of selfgovernment; we pro-
. pose to abolish such laws as infringe upon the
rights of localities and secure to them the
ilght to govern themselves. We will not abol-
,s.such laws and give the people something
mose, but will give them better laws. We
proPse to make the State of New York and
InG Ruvernment in all its branches thorough
ly Democratic.

TEE RECENT article on the Byron story, Just
published in the London Quarterly Revie,o, is
reproduced in full in the New York papers.
In its contents are seven letters from Lady By
ron to Mrs. Leigh, written just after the separ-
alton. They are full OF expressions OF affec-
tionate kindne IS and esteem. Lady Byron, in
the first of them, writes to Mrs. Leigh: SIN
this, at least, am truth itself when I say
that whatever the situation may be, there is no
one whose society is dearer to me or can con-
tribute more to my happiness" Again she
says: "You have been ever since knew you
my best comforter and will SO remain, unless
you grow tired of the Office" In that of the
latest date we find her saying: "Heaven knows
you have considered me more than a thousand
would have done. God bless Won
from the bottom of my heart" These extracts
alone seem to furnish satisfactory and couclu-
sive evidence of the falsity of Mrs. Stoves
charges; but they are not unsupported The
writer adduces additional proof to refute the
incidental charges of Byron's unfeeling or un-
generous conduct towards his wife, and even
carried the war into Africa for the purpose of
drawing contrast between Lady Byron as
she was and the Lady Byron portrayed by Mrs
Stowe. We wait anxiously for Mrs. Stoves
defence.
