THE sTowE-eYRoN CASE.
Lord Weutvorth,s Lctter.

Lord Wentworth's Letter.
BY mail from Europe come quite number OF
letters on the subject Of the Byron "scanda' case
The following are Interesting. Lord Wentworth the
grandson OF Lady Noel Byron, and the only surviv-
ing son Of the Earl Of Lovelace has addressed the
following letter to the Pau NdU Gdzette:-
In your number OF September you say that Mrs.
Stowe Ia fragrant 0Hender against prophecies, be-
cause my sister and are supposed to have intended
Byron's conjuQal differences. Now. supposinR Mrs.
Stoves narrative to have been really true story"
and that we had meant to reveal the whole OF our
that is TO Mrs. Stowe against the charge OF repeat
ing what was told her In "private, conf
Dental conversation" But 1t s not true that
publish correspondence Of the nature mentioned.
About three years ago manuscript In Lady Noel
Byron's handwriting was found among her papers,
giving an account OF some circumstances connected
with her marriage and apparently intended for pub.
hcatlon aer her death; but as this seemed not quite
certain, no decision as to It's publication was come
70. In the event OF memoir beng written. this
manuscript might perhaps be included; but hither-
to It has not been proposed to publish any other
matter about her separation. This statement In
Lady Byrons own handwriting does not contain
Mrs. Stowe asserts was told her, and Mrs, Stoves
story OF the separation Ia inconsistent with what
1 nave seen IN various letters, &c. OF Lady
Byron's. Lady Byron says In her own statement
That before being published it ought to be submitted
to some person who had read through the consumed
Byron memoirs, SO Is to secure tho correction OF
Wharton and Fords make no charge Of material
inaccuracy against Mrs. stowe: behave they meant
10 assert the inaccuracy OF the whole article J. for
one cannot allow that Mrs. Stoves statement Is
substantially correct according to your inference
and that Of one or two other newspapers. Request
ing the favor Of the insertion OF my explanation in
your valuable journal, remain, your Obedient SER
want, WENTW ORTIZ.
