The one essential charg act forth by Mrs. Stowe is either wholly true or wholly false, Mrs, Srown indeed nowhere speciiieally points out who was the guilly party involved in the Guilt of Lord 1 Heged crime, She 1 gaya that ByKox "fell into the depths of a secre adulterous intrigue with a blood relation #0 nearin consanguinity that discovery must have been utter ritin and expulsion from civilized society ‘There is but one person to whom this deseription will apply.

This woman was the daughter of Jonx Brnox, the father of the poct, and was the child of an in- trigue becween him and the Marchioness of Cun mantary.

And furiher, it 18 wot impossible that the crime wlleged was the one now set forth by Mrs, Stowe; and it is probable that Brron was perfeetly aware of the nature of his wife's accusation against b whatever it may have been, Bynov's conduct is eqnally consistent with tho theory of his guilt or his innocence in this partic- ulor.

Dr, Ward, Mary Brennan, aud others were oxamined, Sweeny tried to mend his own. ease by impugning tho character of the girl, but his allegations were noteworn. After oll the testimony had been tak and the jury wox about retiring, Patrick McD: jel, Drother of Catherine, in an excited manner chal- Jenged one of the jororé on the ground of having spoken to Sweeny, ‘This challenge was rebutted by the assertion of the juror that he did notever know Sweeny, and had never seen him to his knowledge, The jury were then allowed to retire, They soon retarned with a yordict that“ Catherine McDaniel ing decided to put forth this statement, shoaid have failed to adduce the loast proof in support of it, Some points are, if true, susceptible of proof, ‘Thus, if there was a child, as Mra, Stowe non with “@ mother’ ,” there must be testimony to the fact; and there can be no reason for with- holding this testimony, which does not lie equally against making the unsupported statement, ‘The incidental evidence from several of Brnox’s pons, which Mrs, Syowe parades at quite un- necessary length, is utterly valueless, Donna Inez and Aurora Kaby, in “Don Juan,’ have as little likeness to exch other or to Lady Brno as any three characters in the whole compass of fiction, The arguments of Lueifer and Adah in Cain’ are equally far from having any pos- sible bearing, Is it not absurd to urge that be- cause the Arch Ficud argued in favor of incest, we must therefore accept it as Byaon’s own ar- gument? As well might we accuse Minton of , | impiety because he makes Satan exclaim, “ Evil, be thou my yood.”” Neither will the mystery Which enshrouds tho vailed story of Manfred and Asturte bear the interpretation put upon it by Mrs, Stown, It would be oasy to point out a score of simi- lar instances in Lynox’s poems, but they are all equally inconclusive, Por instance, a few days after bis departure from Kugland, Byron wrote the four stanzas commencing “The eastled crag of Drachenfels,” aflerwards incorporated into the third canto of * Childe Harold,” A note, writ ten, we think, by Mooux, states: These verses were written on the banks of the Rhine in May, Tt is needless to say that they were addressed to his sister.” In these verses themselves there is nothing which a brother might not have written to the purest sister, But iv Childe Harold’ they are prefaced by this strange stanza: ay veo end, thouh unwed, wulee | if f v W Hhoks witha Tha love was pure, ant far above Had stood the loot af mnartal camibios Biel undivid d ccueutod i rt Tiy poriy dies dinostiy fomin'e eyes n | Bie tus'was tir, and from a forelan shore y | Well Co that Wear might iis thee abeoit grectings pour, Childe Harolt, WL. bs How @ man coull speak of his sister as one linked to him by stronger ties than the Chareh links, and should notice that they were unwed, is incomprehensible, Our own belief is that the note of Moons i an error, and that the poom was vor addiessed to bis sister, but to some other ject of his attachment, It is the more probable that this is the (rath of the matter from « further remark in the now; ‘The original pencilling is before us.” How could thin original penciling, if addressed to Avevsta Luau, have come into the hands of Moons? Aut that a very peculiny intimacy grew up bes ween Brnow and bis sister near the close of bis fife in London is certain, As has been said, there is no reason to suppose that they ever know cach ies uatii this period, In Brnon's first will, uted about 1811, he loft all his estates, with the exception of some legacles © bie belrattaw, a of} came to her death dy poisoning herself with Paris green, with #uicidal intent, on Aug. 16," ‘This ver- diet greatly excited the brother, as tt did noe impli: cate Sweeny in any way as being the primary vse ‘of his sister's death, Sweeny was alvo very nervous during the investigation, and ut its close requested that om his life had been threatened, the persons who had atiered threats be placed ander bonds, The Coroner denied having the power, which he sald oe longed to an entirely different tribunal, and Sweeny left the Coroner's ofice surrounded by his frlonde.
