. THE LIFE OF M ENGLISH COU.ITESS.
LADT JERSKY AND IIKR ROMANTIC
HISTORY.
X writer In a late number of Bvlgravia gives
pleasant sketch of the life of the late
Powager Countess of Jersoy long a leader of
fashion in England, the friend of Byron, and
the heiress of Immense wealth. She was the
eldest daughter of the tenthjliarlof Westmore
land; was born in 175, and before her mar
riage bore the name of Ladjr Sarah Fane.
Independently of her beauty, she obtained
great celebrity by having become heiress to
the immenso fortune of Mr. Child, the banker,
her maternal grandfather. Hy right of primo
geniture her elder brother, Lord Burgliersh,
ought to have had the largest share of the In
heritance; but peculiar circumstances induced
the old banker to dislike the first grandohild.
AN ELOPEMENT.
It appears Mr. Chili had many crotchets, fore
most ot which wss his hatred of the nobility.
When talking of his property he was In the
habit of sajing that no aristocrat shoula ever
touch one penny of it. One morning he was
thunderstruck on bing informed that his only
daughter, the presumptive heiress of all bis
wealth, had eloped with the Earl of Westmore
land a yournf spendthrift over head and eari in
debt.' Mr. Child's rasre knew no bounds. Oue-"?-inir
the route thev had tasen, he immediately
followed them. Promising a hltib. reward to the
postilions, be was driven at such a furious pae
as not only to gain on the haopy pair, but
actually to overtake tbrra. At the moment,
however, when his carriage cane up with Lord
Westmoreland', and when Mr. Child was In the
act of jumping out, the Karl's postilion turned
round, bred, and killed one of the banker's
lenders. During the confusion which followed
this unforeseen act, the Earl's carriage dashed
unmolested by on the read to Gretna Green.
Ihis gallant deed was gratefully ack no wledeod
by Lord Westmoreland, who immediately toor
the faithful pott boy into his servicft, where he
was promoted from one post to another. More
than sixty Tears after the event lust narrated
took place, he was still iu the family. His first
patron having died, o'.d Gilham had been in
stalled in the lodge at Middleton Park, the
Countess of Jersey's seat iu Oxfordshire, where
he remained until his death.
Mr.Cliild, being thus suddenly stopped in his
pursuit when his daughter was almost in his
grasp, was exasperated beyond measure. Re
turning to a home made desolate by her deser
tion, he vowed to spurn ail her advaaoes
towards a reconciliation. That vow he kept for
a considerable time. Even when her eldest son
was born bis anger remained undiminished. It
was only on the birth of a daughter, when Lady
Westmoreland's health beean to Jail, that the
old father's heart softened towards her, and tbey
became reconciled. To prove, however, the
strange waywardness of tLe human heart, he
could never bring himself to like his dauehtft's
first-born, whom he in a manner disinherited
by miiklne a will in which the whole of his
enormous lortune was settled on her little girl,
the subject of this memoir.
TUB HEIRESS.
On Mr. Child's death Lady Sarah Fane became
possessed of a yearly income of Bl'iy thousand
pounds, in addition to a share in her grand
lather's bank. For many a long year on a cer
tain day, when the affair of tho establishment
were made up for the twelvemonth, Lady Jer
sey's carriage might be seen wending its way
towards Temple Bar. where the pontifex max
mus of fashion might be seen to descend and
enter the bank bulldine. There, lor once laying
aside the ways ot a fine lady, she quietly dined
with the partners, atter wards devoting the whole
evening to business.
Possessing rank, beauty, and riches, it may
easily be imagined that Lady Sarah Fane had
many admirers, and that candidates for mar
riage presented themselves in numbers. From
amongst them she chose George Villiers, fifth
Earl of Jersey, son of the Countess Frances, the
Bishop of Kaphoe's daughter. The match was
one of pure affection on either side, and re
mained so to the end of their singularly happy
wedded life. He was her senior by twelve years,
was of an amiable disposition, and, as far as
personal appearance was concerned, was an ad
mirable match for her. They are said to have
heen the handsomest couple of their time, to
which their portraits, painted about sixty years
ago, bear testimony.
LADY JERSEY AS A LBADEB OF FAHI0N.
In the matter of dress Lady Jersey's taste was
exquisite, and the tout ensemble in such perfect
harmony as never to look elaborate. It must
be admitted, however, that her fastidiousness
and luxury were carried beyond ordinary
bounds. Knowing that the eyes of all female
exquisites were turned ou her, she changed
every article ot clothing from head to foot four
tiroes a day. Although this may appear ex
cessive, she was less luxurious than the late
Empress of Russia, who, not content with dress
ing herself nightly in three different costumes,
also compelled the ladies of her court to do the
same by these simple words, "Mesdames, nous
etcs chiffonees."
Having taste and tact in perfection, LaJy Jer
sey became, by general consent, a leader of
lashlon, and the haute volee acknowledged her
as such by implicitly obeying any laws she
chose to lay down. When, therefoie, she de
creed that, to be distinguished from the par
venues, the "exclusives" must in future make a
change in their pronunciation of certain words,
sot a dissentient voice was heard, all being eager
to follow their leader.
Saying "to be drove in a chariot," "to have a
goold ring," "chopped hands," and making use
of similar recherche phrases, was considered a
sufficient sign of exclusivenees. In a very short
time everybody with the least pretension to
fashion talked in imitation of Lady Jersey, and
most of these expressions Etill survive. As
patroness of Almack's she ruled for many years
supreme, and is said to have been so conscien
tious in the distribution of her vouchers as to
have first required ocular proof of the candi
dates' skill before admitting them to the terpsi
chorean temple.
Her own private parties were gayer than
other people's, and her balls the most brilliant
of the season. Independently of her faultless
taste in the ornamentation of the rooms, the
success of her entertainment was chiefly due to
her own fascinating manners, and to her singu
lar talent of adapting them to every aee This
was the key to her great and long-continued
popularity, for her invitations were sought with
like eagerness by the lisping guardsman and
the hoary politician. The latter were, however
her favorites, and remained so to their end fnr
she outlived them all. "reaa,ior
Two generations of politicians, all parsonal
friends of the Countess of Jersey, had passed
. away before she herself ended her earthly
career. During the first years of her married
life, all the (treat statesmen, including Kov
Pitt, Carmine, Castlereagh, and others, used to
meet at her house, whero politics were freely
discussed, she being considered by all worthy
of their confidence. Strange as it may appear,
Lord Jersey, although always present at these
discussions, never took any active part in poli--tlcs.
It is said he once rose from his seat in the
House of Lords, when it was whispered, "Lord
Jetsey is Roiug to speak," and a brenthless
silence followed. The good man, however,
merely went to shut the door, after which he
quietly sat down again.
bybon's asylum. ,
She alone, wlfh her husband constantly by
her side, could with propriety offer an aijlum
to Lord Byron when every other door was
closed aeainst him. During the years of 1814-1
hn found a hospitable shelter at Middleton Park,
where he passed the greater part of that dark
period In seclusion, brooding over his wrongs,
whether real or imaginary. When the evil
spirit domineered he hated the sight of a
human beln. Avoidintr all communication with
the family, he at those; times remained shot up.

and rush through the adjoining wood until day.

worn out.
THE DAILY
Neither Lord nor Lady Jersey interfered with
the unhappy man, whose state ot mind win at
that time bordering on insanity. They pitied
him. and received him with great kiodnca
whenever he chose to join them at dinner. This
he wonld do now and then, when lens excited,
especially when n certain neighboring lord, a
reputed hard drinker, was expected. Lord
Byron, who bad been living like an anchorite
perhaps for a month past, or even longer, would
then lMy a waeer to drink Lord C - under tho
table, a feat which he Invariably accomplished.
Coolly walking off to bed, he then leltto the
servants the task of conveying the drunken man
to his room no eay task, his lordshio getting,
as a rule, so helplessly drunk as Etill to reel
about next morning when following the hounds,
mi carlton norsa scandal.
When the scandal about Carlton House was
freely commented on, tho young Countess of
Jersey refused to appear any more at a court
presided over by George the Fourth. Roscntinff
this slight, the Prince Uegent thought of Inflict
ing a terrible punishment on her by sending
back her portrait, which had belonged to his
"gallery of beauties." This ungallHnt act in
duced Lord Byron to write in Lady Jersey's
album some well-known verses. Strictly ad
hering to her resolution ot retirement, the young
Countess held her court during that time at
Middleton Park; the Lady Jersey whose name
appears so conspicuously among the visitors at
Carlton House whs the Countess Frances, who
had been a widow since 1S05. Middleton Park
had bee originally her country seat; but she,
being of a savimr dispensation, and the Earl for
from rich, the house is said to have been a mean
structure when their son married Lady Sarah
Fane in 1804. On his inheriting the title and
estate, the old house was demolished and rebuilt
under the Countess Sarah's direction iu the pre
sent style, which for more thun half a century
has beeu considered the perloctlou of elegance
and comfort.
DOMESTIC LIFE.
Before misfortune visited the family the
time from which my personal observation dates
the v. hole estate was a real Kden.owing to
Lady Jersey's pnncely liberality. The usual
stair ot servanls lor the house, including those
lor dairy, laundry, gardens, and 6tahles,
amounted to more than seventy, and at festive
seasons extra bands were engaged Irom the vil
lage. Lady Jersey was radiant when there hap
pened to be among her euests a snrinklintr of
royalty, for whom she had a great penchant,
though their suite and the company invited to
meet them used to swell tne original number of
her establishment to sixteen hundred a week.
At least, the returns In the cook's, steward's and
housekeepers' room all aeree in this respect.
The Countess' own hie being like an open
book, she never harbored tho least suspicion
against others; consequently, while priding
herself on the capital management ot her
household, she luile dreamt that her health
WAfl Tiiffht.lv rlrnnlt in .hnmnacrnn lintlr r
tokny by the ladies an3 gentlemou in the Stew
ard's room, and that her maids, when being
handed into dinner by these gentlemen, were
dressed out in her finerv. It was onlv when
being Informed that ber old housekeeper had
been measured for a riding habit, and was talk
ing of having one ot Lord Jersey's left-otf
horses, that a light seemed to dawn on her. and
atsroissintr the unfaithful stewardess, she re
placed her with one more discreet in language.
It bad been Lady Jersey's custom to stay at
Middlctcn Park irom August until the end of
February, durinjr wbich time a succession of
visitors arrived aud departed as at Court.
VISITORS.
There, in her maturer Tears, a Rornn,! trpnnra.
tion of politicians visited her, and valued her
ineuusnip as mucu as ineir predecessors bad
done. They were cosmopolitans, having the
old though not venerable-looking Talleyrand at
their head, whose sardonic features, chin buried
in a formidable cravat, and high wooden shoe,
gave him the appearance of te diabte boiteux.
Another welcome visitor was Prince Pozzo di
Borgo, by birth a Corsican, who, in spite of
being described by one ot his colleagues as un
fin matou, became silly as a little child at the
end ol his career, and was said to have, child
like, played with a doll. The Russian Count
Pahlen, Sir Robert Peel, theDuke of Wellington,
and a long string of Esterhazys, with their chief,
the ambassador Prince Paul, were also frequent
guests. The latter, one ot Ladv Jersey's oldest
friends, was said to have taught her to waltz
before this dance was known in England. There
must be some truth in this statement; for one
debt these two diplomatists distinguished them
selves in a waltz in such a manner as only
master and pupil could have done.
Some one was playing a march, when the
Prince, mistaking it for his favorite dance, gal
lantly engaged Lady Jersey. While everybody
in the room was smiling, the two politiciaus
whirled round steadily and gracefully until the
last cord hadJbeen struck, when both exclaimed,
"Quelle jolie vaise 1"
The Countess did not excel in music; nor, it
the truth must be told, did she excel in any
accomplishment. Hers was an active but rest
less mind, which did not incline towards study.
Independently of politics, she was feminine in
her occupations; aud after the evening papers
were read, whs as a rule employed about som e
Berlin wool-work, which, however, seemed
never to get finished on account of the nu
merous mistakes made during an animated con
versation. Besides ber mother toscue she spoke only
French, which she spoke fluently and habitually
even to her children. This custom, though no
doubt well meant, gave to their dally inter
course an air of restraint, none of them being
on the same familiar footina with her as with
their father, who always talked to them in
English, und to whom they clung with truly
filial afiection.
LADY JERSEY'S DAUGHTERS.
Although the Countess was devotedly attached
to all her children, her solicitude was chiefly di
rected towards her daughters, regarding whose
health she was in constant communication with
Sir Henry Halford, tho sculapius of the time.
While young the Ladles Villiers bad their own
establishment in a distant part of the house at
Middleton Park, and went to their mother only
at stated times to say their catechism and to re
ceive instructions respecting their daily exer
cise and their evening toilet. They only saw
her at dessert, and stayed with her while she
read evening prayers to the servants, on which
occasions her maids would come into the room
very demurely, working the Countess' delicate
laces, her stockings at four guineas the pair,
and even flourishing her own gold-embroidered
pocket-handkerchiefs, with a crown in the
corner, under her very nose. Her thoughts
being in the work beiore her, they were quite
safe from her scrutiny.
The education of the Ladies Villiers was
chiefly entrusted to foreigners; in addition to
whom tbey had also some English masters, both
laymen and divines. So anxious was Lady Jer
sey about ber dauebters' spiritual welfare, that
when instiucling a new governess in her duties,
she said, alluding to their religious training,
"Je vevx que teur premiere pensee le matin soil a
Vieu" From a sense of duty the Couutess
paid every morning a flying visit to the school
room; and from the same notion she came once
a week to hold a kind of general examination,
on the latter occasions such startling ques
tions weis b8ked as to throw the Italian

. INCIDIKTS.
Far away from these gorgeous plctare", bid
den by projecting book shelves, hangs in a dark
corner a little portrait which, although possess
ing the attributes of "at, fair, and forty' forms
a melancholy contrast to those magnitlceut por
traits In glittering frames. It is the only like
ness preserved of Lord Jersey's mother. Every
other trace of her who formerly inhabited the
house Is carefally obliterated, nor was her name
ever pronounced by any of the family except in
one instance.
A large party was one evening assembled,
when some ludy, happening to Hunt on a little
manuscript music-book, beean playing Us con
tents. The conversation, which until then had
been very loud, suddenly stopped, while a
strange whispenug took its place, wbich in
creased when Lady Jersey, in answer to her In
quiry about the name of the piece, was Informed
it was "George IV's favorite march." With
grcBt tact she praised it, and requested a repe
tition of the same; while Lord Jersey, delighted
to recognize the march his mother used fre
quently to play, explained that it was her music
book w hich was just then being explored.
Like all women in a conspicuous position,
Lady Jersey was much envied by many ot her
own sex, who accused her of conceit and pride,
though the former became with her almost a
virtue. The consciousness of having the largest
diamonds and being the handsomest woman in
the room deterred her from being jealous of
others, and kept ber in that happy and even
temper which was her greatest charm.
Her pride, on which frequently much stress
has been laid, consisted chielly In exalting her
husband's lamily by tracing with great persist
ence the descent of the Jerseys to the celebrated
Duke of Buckingham, James I's favorite. Pride
never eutered into Ladv Jersey's domestic rela
tions. Annually she gave a ball at Middleton
Park, to which al the upper servants and chief
villagers were invited. There was no restraint,
though the Countess, her lamily, and all her
friends joined in the dance.
Owing to Lady Jersey's unbounded charity,
they were no really poor people at the village of
Middleton. She supported the old and intirm,
gave employment to the robust in health, and
provided comfortable cottages for all. About
Christmas an immense stock of warm winter
clothing was distributed by the Ladles Villiers
among the old and needy, who, far from
being grateful, often received their presents
almost grumblingly, because "her ladyship"
did not give them herself, and. never chatted
with them as "the , wicked Lady Jersey"
lormerly bad done. Want of sympathy
with the poor could, however, not be laid
o the Countess' charge. At the rebuilding cf
the house at Middleton several severe accidents
occurred, and two of the workmen were killed
on the spot. Lady Jersey immediately took
charge of the children; but they being mere in
fants, she had them carefully brought up and
sent to fchool until old enough to be taken into
the house. I myself remember two orphans in
her household who had been there from their
earliest infancy. The eldest, after having
passed through the different gradations in the
nursery until she herself became head-nurse,
married on a retiring pension granted by the
Countess.
