~ SCANDAL.
LONDON, ,Beptem5er 3-The London Times to-
day has an editorial the article in the Atlantic
Monthly by HRS. Stowe, In relation to Lord and
Lady Byron. The writer, after commenting on
the character and position otLord Byron, con-
siders Mrs. Stoves story faithful reproduc-
tion OF Lady Byron's statement to her solicit
tors. The latter do not hesitate in manifesting
desire to disorsdit, do not contradict the
story. 1t is impossible that Mrs. Stowe UNDER
stood once and forgot afterwards the aubstan-
tial part OF the statement, but it is perfectly
possible and probable that the wife was q vic
tim OF delusion. We can find nothing incom-
psti5'e With such hypothesis. On tho contra
~, the story unintentionaliy confirms 1t. We
have yainly searched to see what Lord Byron
said and did to confirm suspicious of guilt, and
only And vague expressions that the wife was
fully convinced. The fact is startling, but not
loes SO when ne remember that she thought
him insane. We ospns-a &C jccture how his
wife came to entertain the suspicion, but can
easily understand how, once entertaining il, !,
she first imposed on herself, and then on Mrs
Stowe. II would only be what thousands OF
unhappy wives have done before, to have sus-
picions of exceptional enormity. This quite
accounts for doubts OF her husbands sanity.
The Pail Mall Gazette on this subject says:
"Whateyer may be the reasons that determin-
ed Wentworth and his sister 10 postpone the
publication Of Lady Byron's papers, Mrs.
Stowe cannot be such q serious offender, il the
grandchildren seriously. thought of printing
them. The solicitors, in their letter recently
published, mako no charge Of ina:curacy, but
OF fincompleteneas. The inference is that Mrs.
Stoves statement is correct, but more remains
to be told"
The Morning Post also has an article on the
question, wherein the writer save: "As Lady
Byron's will committed her papers to the care
OF trustees under certain conditions, and as
Mrs. Stove was not one, her story is entirely
gratuitous end unauthorized. She has COM
mitted breach OF confidence reposed in her,
and The offence. by her ows, showing, does not
admit Of e1tenuation. There was no error OF
judgment in tine matter. It is for Airs. Stowe
to explain her motives. e does not signify
whether Mrs. Stowe was ignorant Of the terms
of the will or not. The violation OF confidence,
outrage on the dead, and disregard of feelings
of the living, are the same. She ought to
know the public confidence cannot be offended
with impunity.'
THE TIMES AND NAPOLEON.

to-day's Times, speaking OF calamity in tho
