The New Minister TO England.

Hon. John Lathrop Motley, who has been
appointed Minister to England, was born in
Dorchester, Massachusetts, April Is, 1914,
graduated at Harvard College in 1881, and
afterwards studied year at the University
of Gottingen, and another year at the Uni
versity of Berlin. On his return to America,
he studied law, and was admitted to the bar,
but did not practice his profession, prefer
ring the lighter walks of literature In 1S49,
he was appointed secretary of legation to
our embassy to Russia, which post he held
about eight months. He went to Europe in
1851, passing nearly five years in Berlin,
Dresden and the Hague, engaged upon the
composition of his history, 1.-The Rise of
the Dutch Republic This work has been
translated into French md German. and in
England, the sale reached Is, 900 copies In
1860, The United Netherlands" was pub
lisLed, and the same year, he received the
degree of d. G. L., from Oxford University
In 1861. Mr.. Motley was appointed Minister
to Austria, n position which could as easily
be filled by scholar as politician. AS his
reputation is chiefly literary, and he has
given no evidence of diplomatic ability, it
is to be hoped that his appointment to Eng
land indicates that our relations with that
country are considered to be left by his pre-
decessor in fair train for adjustment not
withstanding the present opposition to the
Alabama claims treaty and Mr.. Summers

BoNNERs OPINION OF THE BYRON
ScANpAL-To The editor of the n. Y
Herald: August 80, 1859. Ia your pa
per Of this morning tiud The following
statement, copied from the Louisville
Courier Journal, in regard TO Mrs.
Stoves recent article on Lord Byron:
Dana and Bonner fairly burst with spleen
Dana because he didn't invent the Byron
scandal, and Bonner because he didn't get it
for the Ledger .Damnation,' cried Bonner
when he first got an inkling of it; why didn't
she fetch it to mes Why, I'd have paid her a
cool 81, 900 for it,
This is not only falsehood, but it is
q falsehood which no one at all &C
Quainted with me could ever have in
veated. Whatever might have
thought of Mrs. Stoves article, it
would have been quite contrary to my
habit of speech 10 characterize it by the
word "Damanrion;" but this | must
say, that u million of dollars could not
have induced me to print that gross and
indecent article in the Ledger, no mat
ter what the publishers of the Atlantic
Monthly were willing to do. Few
women have evinced so much talent as
Mrs. Stowe. | have myself purchased
articles from her for which | have
cheerfuly paid her high price; but
they were very different articles from
the one under consideration. And do
not believe that any true friend, who
was himself in his right mind, could
have advised her to sell for any sum
that morbid, terrible and unnatural
hallucination about Lord Byron. For
her sake l sincerely and deeply regr.t
that she has done it. know of no ar
ticle published in my lifetime calcula-
ted to exert more injurious and de-
moralizing influence on the rising gen.
Grafton, and for this reason l wish
rybody to know that nothing would
have tempted me to publish it
