LOUDON, September 30.-The Bpectator says :

"War between Spain and the UnitedStates appears like a moral impossibility,bat it is universally believed in justnow in Spain. War enthusiasm there is gather-

*~ ¡BR fast. Minister Sickles* proposition is in¬

consistent with the precedent furnished by theconduct of the United States in 1866. Whatwith Spanish pride »od American sympathies,the situation is very critical. It is difficult tobelieve that Spain, with a divided people, a

bankrupt treasury, in revolt, with all to loseand nothing to win, caa seriously -contemplatewar with one of the greatest pewers on the *

earth.The Saturday Review holde that if- the

proposals of General Sickles is accurately re¬

ported, there is no ground for complaintagahtat America for making an offer to Spainio the character of a disinterested mediator.It is possible that some of the people in Spainwho urge the sending of reinforcements toCuba desire the absence of the army... Withmilitary force only can. the Regent maintainthe power and authority of the Coans againstthe Republicans and Carliste. The friends ofIc. jolla might be formidable in the absence .ofthe anny. The government most see that to

. sacrifice the army Will not not save Cuba. Al-roding to the desire to possess Cuba, thewriter thinks the argument of Buchanan infavor of annexation must be more agreeable totheir ears now that slavery has been sup¬pressed, but whether it is their trae interest to

include an alien and uncongenial population inthe Union is a question for future history.The Times, in sn article on Byron, says:

s

x "Mrs. Stowe admits that she was consultedwith by Lady Byron only on the expediency ofpublishing the true account of the separation,and owes that she dissuaded her from doingso. She omita to produce adequate authorityfor her statement. Whatever there may bebelieved of this revelation, Mrs. Stowe was

wrong in publishing information which was

supplied in order that she might give theopinion as to what action should be takenuponit."M. Schlessenger, in a letter to the Cologne

Gazette, states that Mr. Wentworth repeatedlyassured him that Lady Byron desired the un¬

happy story of her marriage to die with her,and that the family papers contained no se¬

crets.ZEELAND.

Loir^oKDBBET, September 18.-À riot oc¬

curred yesterday between porters on a strikeand others who refused to join them. Bothsides were strengthened by their friends, andthe riot threatened to become formidable,when the military appeared, and, .charginginto the crowd, dispersed them. Severalpersons were injured, but none were killed.

SPAIN.

MADBXD, September 18.-The Spanish presshas been in a ferment of excitement and indig¬nation since the presentation of GeneralSickles' note. Some of the journals abase theAmerican Minister sadly. They say he was

sent here solely because he was known to be a

strong partisan of Caban annexation. GeneralSickles emphatically denies the assertion thathis mission refers owly to Cuba. He insiststhat he has never broached tbe question of thecession of the island to the United States, butmerely hipted that the American Governmentis willing to interpose its friendly offices fortho settlement of Spain's difficulties with Cuba.A decree proclaiming liberty of worship in

Cuba will appear in the Official Gazette to¬morrow. It is probable Becerna or Romerowill be sent to Cuba to resolve, on the spot, allquestions of administration. The embarka¬tion of reinforcements for Cuba hat comme.ic

ed. It is confidently asserted that AdmiralTopete will command the fleet.MADRID, September 21.-The4 cfiy journals

are still violant against the presumed ucrriend-lintss of the American government, and somearge aa immediate declaration of war if theCuban»*are recognized as belligerents. TheMinistry, after discussing the propriety of re¬

turning 810x100' note unanswered, decided to

postpone a reply until the arrival of Prim.TEAKex.

PARIS, September 21.-The papers publisha letter from father Hyacinthe, address¬ed to the Father General of his order atBorne, announcing that he abandons his con¬

vent and ceases to preach in the church ofNotre Dame de Paris. The reason for thisstep he declares to be that he cannot obey theorders of the Holy See. He protests before thePope and Council against the doctrine andpractice of the Roman Church, which he coû¬

teada are not in accordance with the princi¬ples of Christianity.The bodies of six murdered persons, worn'rn

and children, were fonod ia a field near Paris.The police have discovered no trace of the as¬

servative tickst in tbe late campaign.

IA PIOUS FRAUD.

NEW YOBK, Septembar 21.-The MethodistBook Concorn, No. 505 Broadway, is the loser

of several hundred thousand dollars by cor¬

ruption and fraud. The deficit was discoveredby the Rev. Dr. Lañaban, tbe uew agent. Thefrauds have been going on for eight or nine

years, and seems to lie i J the fact that Dr.Porter allowed bis son", who was a paper bro¬

ker, to charge heavy commissions on the pur¬chase of paper used by tbe establishment. Ir¬

regularities aie also reported in the bindiupdepartment. The investigation is still in pro¬

gress. _

A COTTON PRESS IN BALTIMORE.

The Baltimore Suo of Monday says:During the past few years tbe cotton trade

of Baltimore has increased to such an extentthat a press for the exclusive use of compres¬sing the srreat S J ut hern product has become amatter of actual necessity here. It is wellkoo rn that much of the cotton landed here isin such a condition, from the bursting of thebales, that both the European steamers andsailing vessels refuse to receive it as freight,in consequence of its occupying toomuch roomin the hold. In order to remedy the evil inthis matter. Mr. Jerome S. Busk some timesince leased tbe large warehouse at tho headFlannigan's wharf, fronting on the long dockand extending back to Mill-street, just at tbepoint where the Charleston, Savannah, Wil¬mington and Norfolk steamers land their car¬goes, and has erected therein a cotton pressof the most improved pattern, moved by hy¬draulic power, with a thirty-horse powerengine, at a cost, in all, of some twentythor sand dollars. Ibis press is representedas being an improvement on the celebrated hy¬draulic piesses now in ase in the principalSouthern ports. The engine and machineryare certainly very fine, and it is claimed thatthe press, when in full operation, will be ableto press a bale of cotton in two minóles. Havinga water iront, tbe cotton as soon as Dressedcan be placed lu scows and carried to tbe Eu¬ropean steamers at Locust Point, or to stilingvessels at Fell's Point, with but little handling,and placed in tbe hole in as compressed a con¬dition as it is possible to effect with cotton.The adjusting of tbe machinery is nearly com¬

pleted, and <t is understood that a public exhi¬bit on will be given to merchants and shippersearly in the coming week. Those interestedin the cotton trade appear to be much pleasedwith the enterprise, affording facilities, as itdoes, to the trade of Baltimore in the grea tSouthern staple.

-Apropos of the Ooumenical Council thatis to be, the following arrangements for thecomfort of the loreign prelates invited arecnannteed by a writer in La Liberte to becorrect: " lue bishops are to receive a dailvallowance for expensen, (frais desejour). rang¬ing from ten to fl'teen france, say two or threedollars m gold, according to their rank.

NEW EVIDENCE PRODUCED BT LORD LINDSAY.

Unpublished Letters from Lady Byronand landy Anne Barnard.

The London Times, of the 7th instant, con¬

tains the following letter from Lord Lindsay,giving new evidence in relation to the Byronscandal, in the torm of unpublished lettersfrom Lady Byron and Lady Anne Barnard:I'TO the Editor of (he Times:"SIE-Í have waited in expectation of a cate¬

gorical denial of the horrible chargé broughtby Mrs. Beecher Stowe against Lord Byronaud his sister, on the alleged, authority of thelate Lady Byron. Such denial has been onlyindirectly given by the letter of Messrs. Whar¬ton and Fords in your impression of yesterday.That letter is sufficient to prove that LadyByron never contemplated the u?e made of ber

name, and tbat her descendants and represen¬tatives disclaim any conntenance of Mrs,Beecher Stowe's article; but it does not specifi¬cally meet Mrs. Stowe's allegation that LadyBvron in conversing with her thirteen yearsago affirmed the charge now bafbre us. It re-

maina open, therefore, to a scandal-lovingworld to credit tho calumny through the ad¬vantage of this flaw, involuntary, I believe, inthe answer produced against it."My object in addressing you is to supply

that deficiency by proving that what is now

stated JU Lady Byron's supposed authority isat variance in all respects with what she statedimmediately after the separation, when every¬thing was fresh io her memory in relation tothe time during whiyb, according to Mrs.Beecher Stowe, she believed that Byron andbi3 sister were living together iu guilt. 1publish this evidence with reluctance, but inobedience ta that higbor obligation of justiceto the voiceless and defenceless dead whichbids mo break through a reserve that other¬wise I should-have held sacred. The LadyByron ot 1818 would, I am certain, have sane,

tioned my doing so had she foreseen the pres¬ent unparalleled occasion, and thc bar that theconditions of ber will present (as I infer fromMoosra. WliaUuu and Pord'a lotter) againstany fuller communication. Calumnies such as

the present sink deep and with rapidity intothe public mind, and are not easily eradicated.The fame of one of our greatest poets, andthat of the kindest and truest and most

constant friend that Byron ever bad, is atstake; and it will not do to wait f ir revenionsfrom the fountain-head, which are not prom¬ised, and possibly may never reach us.

"Thc late Anne Barjard, who died in 1*2 J, a

contemporary and friend of Burke, Windham,DuQdas, and a host of the wise and good ofthat generation, and remembered in letters as

the authoress of 'Auld Hobin Gray,' had knowntho late Lady Byron from infancy, and,took a

warm interest in her, holding Lord Byron incorresponding repugnance, not to say preju¬dice, in consequence of what she believed to

be his harsh and cruel treatment of her youngfriend. I transcribe the following passagesand a letter from Lady Byron herself (writtenin 1818) from ricordi, or private family me¬

moirs, in Lady Anne's autograph, now beforeme. I include the letter, because, althoughtreating only iu general terms of the matterand the causes of the separation, it affords col¬lateral evidence beating strictly upon the pointof the credibility of the charge now in ques¬tion :

«« «The separation of Lord and Lady Byronastonished the world, which believed bim a re-

foimedmana8 to bis habits, anda becalmedman as to his remorses. He had written noth¬ing that appeared after his marriage till thefamous 'Fare thee well,' which had the powerof compelling those to pity the writer whowere not well aware that he was not the un¬

happy person he affected to be. Lady Byron'smisery was whispered soon after her marriageand his ill-usage, bot no word transpired, no

sign escaped from her. She gave birth shortlyto a daughter, and when she went as soon as

she was recovered on a visit to ber tether's,taking her little Ada with her, co one knewthat it was to return to her lord no more." 'At that period a severe fit of illness had

confined me to bed for two months. I beardof Lady Byron's distress; of the pains he tookto give'a harsh impression of her character tothe world. I wrote to her, and entreated herto come and let me see and bear ber, if sheconceived my sympathy or counsel could beany comfort to ber. She came -but what atale was unfolded by this interesting youngcreature who bad so fondly boped to have madea young man of genius and romance (as shesupposed) happy ! They had not been an hourin the carnage which conveyed them from thechurch, wheo, breaking into a malignantsneer. 'Oh ! what a dupe you have been to yourimagination. How is it possible a woman ofyour sense could form the wild hope of re-torm'ng me? Many aro the tears yon willhave to shed ere that plan is accomplished. Itis enough for me that yon are my wife forme to hate yon; if you were the wife of anyother man I own yon might have charms,' ¿c.

"I. «ho listened, was astonished. 'Howcould you go on after this,' said I 'my dear?Why did you not return to your father's?' 'Be-causè I bad not a conception he was in earnest;because I reckoned it a bad jest, and told bimso-that my opinions of bim were very dif¬ferent from bis of himself, otherwise he wouldnot find me by bis side, He laughed it overwhen he saw mo appear hurt, and I forgotwhat had passed till forced to remember it. Inelieve he was pleased with rn?, too, for a lit¬tle while. I suppose it had escaped his memorythat I was bis wife.' But she described thehappiness they enjoyed to have been unequaland perturbed. Her situation in a short timemight have entitled her to some tenderness,but she made no claim on him for any. Hesometimes reproached her for the motivesthat had induced her to marry him-all was'vanity, the *anity of Miss Milbanke cirrvingthe point of reforming Lord Byron. He alwaysknew her inducements; her pride shut hereves to bis; be wished to build up his charac¬ter and his fortunes; both were somewhat de¬ranged; she bada high name and would havea fortune worth his attention-let her look tothat for bis motives.' *0, Byron, Byron,' shesaid, 'bow you desolate me 1"".He would then accuse himself of being

mad. aud throw himself on the ground in afrenzy, which she believed was affected to con¬ceal the coldness and malignity of his hetrt-an affectation which at that time never failedto m"et with the tenderest commiseration. 1could find by sonio implications, not followedup by me lest she might have condemned her¬self afterwards for her involuntary disclosures,that he soon attempted to corrupt her princi-Eles. both with respect to ber own conduct ander latitude for his. She saw tho precipice on

which she stood, and kept bis sister with heras much as possible. He returned in thc even¬ings from the haunts of vice, where he madeher understand he bad been, with manners soprofligate ! 'Oh, the wretch !' said I, 'and hadhe no momenta of remoree?' 'Sometimes heappeared to bavo them.'" 'One night, coming home from one of bis

lawless parties, he saw me so indignantly col¬lected, and bearine all with such a determinedcalmness, that a rush of remorse seemed tocome over him; he called himself a munster,tbo.ugb his sister was present, and threw him¬self in agony at my feet. 'I could not-20-ICL did not forgive him such injune-. He hadlost me forever.' Astonished at the return ofvirtue, mt tears, I believe, flowed over his lace,and I said, 'Byron, all is forgotten; never, nevershall you hear of it more !' He started up,and, folding his arms while he looked at me.burst into laughter. 'What do you mean?'said I. 'Only a philosophical experiment,that's all,' 6aid he; 'I wished to ascertain thevalU9 of vonr resolutions.'" 'I neednot say more of this prince of du¬

plicity, except that varied were his methods ofreudericg Ler wretched, even to the last.When her lovely little child was bore? and itwas laid beside its mother on the bed, and hewes :nrcrmed Le might see his daughter,' al-

madder than I believe he was; but she bad r

then made up her mind to disbelieve his pitended insanity, and conceived it best totrust her secret with the excellent Dr. Baili;telling bim all that seemed to regard the st:of her husband's mind, and letting his adviregulate her conduct." 'Baillie doubted of his derangement, bi

as he did not reckon his own opinion infallibbe wished her to lake precautions as if fahusband was so. He recommended ber coi;to the country, but to give lim no suspicionber intentions of remainise there, and foishort time to show no coldness in her lettetill she could better ascertain his Btate.

LADT BSBON'l) LETTEB.

"'I am a very incompétent judge of the ii

Why, then, you will say, doehe not employ them to give a better color tihis own character ? Because he is toogood aiactor to overact, or to aesume a moral carlwhich it would be easy to strip off. In regor,to his poetry, egotism is the vital principle ohis imagination, which it is difficult for him tikindle on any subject with which his own character and interests are not identified; but b<the introduction of fictitious ^cidents. bjchange of scene or time, he hasT veloped hi)"poetical disclosures m a system impenetrabliexcept to a very few, and his constant desiriof creating a sensation makes him not avéraito bethe object of wonder and cariosity, everthough accompanied by some dark and vaguesuspicions.

'-Nothing has contributed more to the misun¬derstanding of bis real character than thelonely grandeur in which bo shrouds it, undhis affectai ion of being above mankind, whenhe exists almost io their voice. The romanceof bis sentiments is another feature of thismask of state. 1 know no one more habituallydestitute of that enthusiasm he so beautifullyexpresses, and to which bo can work up hiefancy chiefly by contagion. I had heard hewas the best of brothers, the most gênerons offriends, and I thought such feelings on>v re¬

quired to be warmed and cherished into morediffusive benevolence. Though these opinionsare eradicated, and oould never retnrnbut with the decay of my memory, yon will notwonder if there aro still moments when theassociations of feelings which arose from themsoften and sadden my thoughts." 'Bnt I have not thanked you, dearest Lad.v

Annie, for your kindness in regard to a princi¬pal object-that of rectifying false impressions.I trust you understand my wishes, which neverwere toinjure Lord Byron in any way; for,though be would not suffer me to remain hiswife, he cannot prevent me from continuinghis friend; and it was considering myself assuch that I silenced the acensations by whichmy own conduct might have been more fullyjustified. It is not necessary to speak ill of bisheart in general; it is sufficient Lhat to me itwas hard and impenetrable-that my ownmust have been broken before bis could havebeen touched. I would rather represent thisas mr misfortune than as bis guilt; bat, sure¬

ly, that misfortune is not to be made mycrime. Such are my feelings; you will judgehow to act."Bis alludions to me in Childe Harold are

I might appeal to all who have everheard me speak of him, and still more to myown heart, to witness that there has been nomoment when I have remembered injury oth¬erwise than affections'ely aud sorrowfully. Itis not my duty to give way to hopeless andwholly unrequited affection; but, so long as Ilive, my chief struggle will probably be not toremember bim too kindly. 1 do not seek thcsympathy of tbe world, but I wish to bo knownby those whoso op ul on is valuable aod whosekindness is dear to me. Among such, mydear Lady Anne, you will ever be rememberedby your truly affectionate A. BIRO*."It is tho provinca ot your readers and of the

world at large to judge between the two testi¬monies now before them - Lady Byron's in1816 and 1818, and that put forward in 1869 byMrs. B. Stowe, as communicated by LadyByron thirteen years ago. In the face of theevidence now given, positivo, negative and cir¬cumstantial, there can ba but two alternativesin tbe case-either Mrs. B. Btowo most haveentirely misunderstood Lady-Byron, and beenthus led into error and mi£-s'.aternont, or we

must conclude that, under the pressure of a

lifelong and eccret Borrow, Lidy Bvron'a mindhüd become clouded with an hallucination inrespects of the particular point iu question."Toe reader will admiro the noble bnteevere

character displayed in Lady Byron's letter; butthose who keep in view what her first impres¬sions were, aa above reccrd'.-d, may probablyplacea more lenient interpretation than hersupon some of thc incidents alleged lo Byron'sdiscredit. I shall conclude with some remarksupon his character, written shortly after hisdeath by a wise, virtuous and charitable judge,the late Sir Walter Scott, likewise in a letterto Lady Anne Bsr.iard:" 'FieIchera account of poor Byron is ex¬

tremely interesting, i had akvavs a strong at¬tachment to that unfoi (unite though mostrichly gifted man, because I thought I sawthat his virtues (and he had many) were hieown, and his eccentricities tba result ol'an ir¬ritable temperament which sometimes ap¬proached nearly to mental dis¿a se. Those wu oaro gifted with strong nerves, a regular tem¬per and habitual self-commuid ore not, per¬haps, aware how much they owe to constitu¬tion; and such are but too jevero judges olmen like Byroo, whose mind, like a day of al¬ternate storm and sunshine, is all dirk shadesand stray gleams of light iis'ead of the twi¬light gray whicii illuminates happier thoughlese distinguished mortals. I always thoughtthat when a moral proposition was placedplainly before Lord Byron his mindMelded a pleased cud willing assent toit, but if thero was any side view givenin the way of raillery or otherwise, hewan willing enough to evade conviction. »

* * It augurs ill for the cause of Greece thatthis master-spirit should have been withdrawnfrom their assistance just as he was obtainingcomplete neceedasoy over their counsels. I

lave Been several letters from the IonianIslands, all of which nnite in speaking in thelighest praise of the wisdom and temperance>f his counsels, aud the ascandancv he was ob-aining over tbe turbulent and ferocious chiefs)f the insurgents. I have some verses writtenJJ bim on bis last birthday; they breathe a

spirit of affection towards his wife, and a de-lire of dying in battle, which seems like an an-icipation of his approaching fate.

THE CROPS IN KER-HAW.-The Camden Jour¬nal says :

During the present term of oar court we

bave bad opportunities of conversing with per¬sons from every part of our district, and learn¬ing the prospect of the cotton crop, and fromavery section the report is that the crop willbe short, estimated variously at one-third tojne-half what it at one time promised. Fromincreased acreage and the use of fertilizers, itiras expected that the crop would largely ex¬ceed that of last year, but it is believed bymany that it will not exceed, even if it reachesthat amount. The corn crop, except in a fewfavored localities, will be very short.

consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture or Southernpolicies by Northern companies. The unparalleledsuccess of th-* enterprise has forced several of thesecompanies to restore their Soutuern policies, fromthe fact that they could not operate in our midstwithout the appearance, of honesty.We keep all our money at home to build up our

impoverished country-every dollar of premiumbeing safely invested in the 8tste from which it ls de¬rived. The institution is purely Southern, and henceshould sppeal with great force lo the patriotism andand sympathy of every Southern heart.-Tis not our purpose to make war on other com¬

panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered

by this purely. Southern Company-founded on

patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets toliabilities-the true test of a company's strength-lasecond to none on this continent, bein; nearly $300to $100.Whenever and wherever we have presented the

claims of tbis Company, lt has not only enlisted thesympathies of our people, but has also secured theirhearty co-operation. We hare secured 600 policiesIn South Carolina since the 10th of February.

PARATION, compound ed by one of our oldeat sudmost esteemed diuggit is, bas, during the short timein which it bas been o fered to the public, attaineda reputation which ha i almost entirely driven out ofnurka the various toole sud stimulant* which, fora fewmon'hs. by exorbitant puffing and heavy ad¬vertising, succeeded In building a profitable busi¬ness for their projector*.So'omon's Bitters sro not of the flashy style, de¬

pending upon lai ge advertising, bought puffs andfictitious recommendations for a sale to a gulliblepublic. Their composition is well known ta and ap¬proved by many of our best physician?, and the pro¬

prietors depend upon the in'rinsic merita of theirmedicine to make lt as popular a» it U curative.

They do net pretend t i oner a medicinal prepara¬tion that will cu.-e all the ilia that flesh is heir to,but they do contend that the judicious use of theseHitters will greatly alleviate human suffering, and

bring very mauy to a state of comparative healthwho have long been strangers to that gre a1 blessing.One eopd gfnnine recommendation o' any pro-

fessed curative is worth dozens or h mdreds of

bought certificates, and the Messrs. .SOLOMON9have only published a few out of the hundreds ofun¬

solicited testimonies which the have received. Wethis morning give a copy of a letter from Hon. ALEX.H. STFPHKNS, whose recuiiariy enfeebled conditionfor the past six months has been known to the wholecountry. His few earnest words will go much fur¬ther to confirm the good opinion already existing asto the bénéficiai quail tie J of thia medicine thanwould columns of stereotyped recommendstionafrom unknown parties:
