A correspondent, who writes on behalf of 'many,' asks us lo state the cause of the rupture between Lord and Lady Byron. To do so was no easy task, since Uyron himaolf repokledly declares, in hie loiters that the cause was unknown to himself. Yet, a brief recapitulation of such /acts as have transpired, may interest our readers who do not happen lo have ac oobs lo tho ‘documents.’ O.j the 2J uI January, 1815, Lord Byron—then in his twenty seventh yoar—was united m marriage with Miss Millbanko. On the tenth of December, of tbo same year, Augustus Ada, their child, was born. About six weoka niter, Lady Byron left Lon don on a visit to her father, in Leicestershire, with (he understanding that her husband would shor ly join her. T oy parted in kindness, nay in lender ulTeclion. On (ho journey, Lidy Byron wrote him an affectionate and playful letter. Immediately on bor arrival at her parental mansion, her father wro'a 10 Lord Byron, to inform him that his daughter would return to him no more; and tho husband and wife never met again. Such are tho bare fads of the case, and, lor (heir explanation, wo are obliged to resort to conjecture, and to glance at the previoia history of bolti parlies. At the lime of his marriage, Lord Byion was a man of fashion, und addicted lo tho vices of a mao of fashion. Wo believe that his errors in the latter respect, have been greatly exaggerated, that, in fuel, ho transgressed less against the laws of morality than young.men of rank usually do. Dul ho was a shining mark for the shads of calumny; and il was his lot la boor Ihe fury of resentment which common mortals sometimes cherish towards those whoso tal onti cast .their. nigmy pretentions utterly into iho shade. Ho was not a sensualist,in ino correct sense of that expression. Biscuits and,walcr often formed his repast; his libations lo Bacchus wore unfrcqueol and seldom excessive ; and ho inured himself to fa ligun by daily practice in boxing and fencing. Ho was always generous, scattering his money when ho had any, with more than princly generosity. His income never exceeded four thousand pounds ster ling a your, and, taking his whole lifo into tho ac count, wo believe ho gave away more than one third of it. Fur all that, However, he was not a Puritan. 11 was not in his blood, In his position, or in his cir cumstances, lobe so. We do not justify hie dop. r lures from morality. On the contrary, we deplore them ; knowing well, that in morality, all moo ought lo bo puritanic, and that no degree of temptation justifies any degree of sin. Marriage was continu ally recommended lo Byron, as an 'anlidolo' to dis sipation. At length bo took the proscription—sod a buitr dose it proved. Ho proposed to Miss Mill binko, and was refused. They continued, however, to bo on very friendly terms, and lo correspond. Ho proposed a second time and was accepted. His friends protested against his choice for two reasons : Aral, because she was 100 ’straight laced,* i- e. too good for him ; and secondly, because her fortune consisted chiefly in expectations. But silting one day with a friend, whoa a refusal from another lady arrived, Byron said,'You sco that, after all, Alisa Millbanko is to bo I will write lo her.’ Ho wrote on tbo Inata'nl, and showed the letter to his friend ,who,still remonstratingagaSnstbis choice, road the letter over and remarked, 'Well, really, this Is a very pretty letter; U Is a pity it should not go, 1 never read a prettier one.’ 'Then It shall go,‘ said Lord Byron. It did go, and it sealed ills fate Titos lightly are tho words spoken, and thus thoughtlessly are the deeds done, which make or mar our happi ness for lifo. Miss Millbanko was the pattern daughter of a pattern country gentleman. Reader, if thou hast ever resided, for one week, In an English country house, thou nocdsl no further description of Miss Millbanko. But probably thoa hast not, and son few additional syllables aro required. An English country houso, of the pattern sort, is a place where pooco and plenty, order and regularity, novo taken up their abode. Life in it goes on in on unvarying round of duties and delights. From the master to the scullion, each Inhabitant has, and knows, and keeps his place, yielding obedience to those above him, requiring respect and submission from those below him. But the yoke is easy and (ho burthen la light, bccaaso respect is mingled with affection, and obodlonco Is rendered with loyoUly. ‘lntellect. ual’—as wo understand (ho word—the family are nut; but in such a home, human nature has reached da high a point of harmonious devolopcmonts, os it has attained on (Ills planet, in any ago. Wo have mol with people, who in somo respect?, were vastly superior to the inmates of an English pattern coun try hoaio«—more learned for example, more imagin’ alive, more open to new Ideas—but never any who seemed, upon iho whole, more enviable or more ex cellent. Miss Millbanko, as we have just observed, was a pattern lady of her class—virtuous, discreet, pfutftntrordorly, kind—formed to bo a wise mother ot English children, an admirable mistress of an English homo. She was not a woman who would see anything romantic in a liaison, or anything in teresting in a seizaro of furniture by the sheriff; nor was she a woman who could regard the glory of the poet ad a aol-off against the faults of the man; on Iho contrary she would consider—and rightly con sider—that the possession of extraordinary talents heightens the turpitude of moral delinquency,. Nino times during the year that Lor) and Lady Byron lived together the sheriff's officers seized their furniture fbr debt. It was reported about town that liis extravagant lordship* bad married an and his marriage waa the signal for creditors to come upon him in a swarm—lrritating him, dismaying her. Lord Byron’s connection wlrh Drury Lane Theatre gave rise to a vorloty of rumors, which, (hough fprobablf 111-founded, were not of a na ture to bo agreeable (o (ho ears of his wife. Moore hints also that ceaseless annoyances from Impatient creditors occasionally induced him to stoop his senses in the forgetfulness of revel. The Coimtefls Gulo> ooill confessed to a friend of ours, many years after, that Byron was a troublesome man lo llvo With.— > His mood was more changeable (haft the weather melancholy. hlllarlous, peevish, savage, all in a day, and all without oppatont cause—and (hero was no knowing how to toko him. All this, arid perhaps ipore, Lady Byron had to endure—she who bad boon 11 Otni COUNTRY—-MAY IT ALWAYS BE RIGHT —BUT RIGHT OR WRONG, OUR COUNTRY.” CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1853 all hor life accustomed to a elate of things as differ ent aa may bo conceived. She’boro ft, however, as far ns wo know, without repining; until trans forrod to hor own ehoro again—kho remarked (ho contrast; on affeolionato and ifficious 'mamma,’ borr!6cd by tho talcs hor daughter brought of exe cutions’and greon room amours—probably persuad ed bornot to return. Byron was astonished at the nows. His pecuniary difficulties had reached their utmost, and, to use his own language, tho blow came when bo ‘was standing alone on bis hearth with his household gods shivered around him.' With a noble candor, ho wrote a few days oAor lu Tom Moore, — ‘There never was a telier, or even a brighter, a kind er, a more amiable or agreeable being than Lady Byron,. I never had, nor can have any reproach to make her while with me. Where there is blame, It belongs to myself; and If I cannot redeem, I must boar it.’ For many years Byron seems lo have chor tshod the hope of reconciliation,but the jollier-in. law* Was Implacoable to (he last, and tho pod became on exile and a wanderer, without a homo, «r,r! with out those virtues which a borne might have fostered a his wayward but naturally noble character. The Sociable Vulture. This ie a bird of extreme rarity. It was described by Le Vailiant, lr his ‘Travels in the Interior of Africa,* under the nemo of oricou, fancifully derived from (bo folding of Its akin around its ears, and along its neck. A more detailed account was after* wards furnished by (ho distinguished ornithologist, in bis Oiseaux d* Afriqae, whore a full grown malo is Very accurately figured. Wo do not find that it has since boon observed by any zoologist; for all the account of it with which wo have met, are copied I from Le Vailiont. In size, this gigantic bird is equal lothocordor; Iho largest specimen measuring, according to Lo Vailiant, upwards of ton feet in the’expanso of their wingp. The head and greater part'of Iho neck aro oflbo color of raw flosh. and exhibit In their adolt' state no appearance of down or feathers, but only a. fow scarcely perceptible, scattered hairs. The throat 1 is covered with blackish hairs, and the lower part of the neck behind, with a kind of ruff crisped ond curled feathers of the some color—within which iho 1 bird withdraws his head while in a state of repose, 1 especially after feeding ; an altitude which la com* , (non lo most of iho vultures. j Like alt other vulluros, this is a bird of the moun tains, (he sheltered, retreats formed by their caves ond fissures constituting its proper habitation. In them it passes the night, and reposes, after it has •‘ated its appetite, during the duy. At surr'so,‘largo bands are seen perched on iho rocks nl the entrance of their abodes, and sometimes a continued chain of mountains exhibits them dispersed throughout the greater part of its extent. Their tails are always worn down by friction against tho stones between which they thrust themselves, or on which they porch; while (lie eagles, seldom walking ond fro* qucnily perching upon trees, preserve theirs more on tiro. Those of (ho vultures are morcoiar injured by I ihe soil of thtfplsin, inasmuch as they cannot raise then selves Into the air at once, bat only after run ning hi vcrol paces forward ond by a forced contrao , tion of tho limbs. The flight of Iho vulture Is, nev ertheless, powerful and lofty; they raise themselves to a prodigious height,‘and disappear from the sight. ' —lllustrated Family Friend.

THERE IS A SKELETON IN EVERY HOUSE. There was at Naples a lady of Iho name of Cor. eina, born at Capovaaa, and wifo of a nobto cavalier, wuoao namo was Messer Ramondo del Balzo. It happened after some yoora that heaven wqb pleased lo deprive this lady of her husband, and she was left a widow, with an only son, whoso namo was Carlo. 1 his youth, possessing all iho excellent qualities and endowments of bis father,became the mother's idol and only care. She bethought herself that it would bo greatly to his advantage to send him lo Bologna, lo pursue his studios, in order that ho might hero after become a groat man. Having made up his mind lo Ibis, sho gavo him a tutor, provided him with books, and everything that would make him comfortable,and sent him away with a lender moth* er s blessing. 1 here, for several years, she main* lamed him with ©very comfort ho could wish. Tbo youth, having every odvanlago, improved greatly, and became on excellent scholar, and byjtis gentle, raandiko raaDncr.currroci conduct, and great talents, had gained the oflcolion of all his follow collegians. It happened, lhat having become, after some years, a doctor in law, and boing nearly on Iho evo of his return to Naples, ho was taken seriously ill, whore- 1 upon uII the best physicians of Bologna anxiously endeavored to save his life, but had no hopes of success. Carlo, perceiving ho was a lost mao said lo himself, • I do not enro so much for myself, as for, my poor, dour mother, who will no longer have a son, for whom sho has sacrificed her all, and whom sho expected would become her consolation, who might form eoiuo great alliance, and thereby restore 1 our family namo. Now, if aim hears 1 am doad, and has nut llio comfort of seeing mo unco again, sho will assuredly dio with excessive grief.’ This icduction, more than the loss of his own lift, overwhelmed him with sorrow. This though', over uppermost in ills mind, suggested iho idea to him ol con diving some moans to prevent his mother from being overpowered by hor grief; ho therefore Immediately wrote tolur in the tallowing words : " My dearest mother, 1 do cnltoul that you would bo kind enough lo got me u shirt made by the most beautiful and llio most linppy lady you can hod in Naples—die who is most Irco Irum the cares or sorrows of the world.” Tho letter being despatched, and coming to handj the mother immediately considered of tho moans ofi satisfying ilna rrqiioui, and I o.v she co»l<l find nno ;, she inquired among ail her acquaintances where , blio could meet such an unconcerned, and indiffor 1 enl, and oaey-nundcd woman; but iho task was arduous, yet slio was determined lo do her son's will. Tiio lady, however, searched to such effect, that she at last found one, who appeared so beautiful, so cheerful, and so happy, ami so unconcerned, that she seemed inoapablo of feeling a single unpleasant thought. Mudumo Corsma, fancying she had found ,1)10 very person she was in scotch of, wool to the : lady, who received iicr very politely. Madame Cor | sins oa'iJ lo her, “ fua you guess what I am come for 7—it is bo cause, looking upon you os the most cheerful lady in Naples, and tho freest from painful thoughts or I troubles ; 1 wish to osk you a very great fo’vor, that is, that you would make a shirt fur m) with yoarj hands, that I may send it to my son, who has earn- i cudy culrcalcd mo to gel it made by such a one us 1 yourself.” [ The young lady answered, 1 •• You say you consider mo (lie most cheerful young woman in Naples.” “ Yep,” said Madame Corsica.

After a few days a letter arrived, staling that her son was dead ; she, therefore, wisely lumiglil lo herself, that as she clearly saw mJ one was over free from misfortunes ond li ibul rtions, even tho very best of women, she would, therefore, Ukc comfort, more especially, as she perceived she was not the only one, ufid thereby quieted her mind, and lived more happily By her submission to the decree ul heaven.

Some striking instances of this kind oro narroted by historians ‘I was struck,’ says Madame Cotnp'in, ‘with the astonishing change which misfortune had wrought ( upon Maria Antoinette’s features; her whole head of hair was turned almost while during her transit from Varenncso to Paris.'
