Hod or it Leigh, the "Child of Nla."
l-'rom the New York Trllmno.
Below will be found au extraordinary
chapter In the Byron mystery whloh
has Just been brought to light lu Lon- j
don. During the few days which must I
elapse before we shall be pat In pos-1
session of what further Mrs. Stowe has'
to aay upon the subject, we are notdlsposed
to theorize, or to draw ooncluslons
upon the main question whloh
can after all be no better, than conjectures.
The dlBOUsslon has gone so far
that nothing will now satisfy the publlo
but the full truth; and the full
truth threatens to be more shocking
than anybody has yet supposed, the
full story of the Byron family more
awful than tho liveliest Imagination
has conceived U. In this summary of
these new revelations our readers will
I And Rome things that are Inorodlbloand
' mnoh that Js suspicions, They will
find, bowever, a statement of reasons
i why tho Btory, nt least In its principal
features, scorns to deserve confederation.
Mrs. Btowe's "Vindication" will
probably throw farther light upon It.
In 'The True Story of Lady Byron's
Life,' Mrs. titowe wrote: 'There was an
nnfortnnate child of sin born with the
onrse upon her, over whoBe wayward
nature Lady Byron watched with a
motbor's tenderness, She was the one
who oonld have patience when the
patience of every one else failed; and
though the task was a diflicult one,
from the strange, abnormal propensU
ties to evil in toe subject of U, yet Lady
Byron never faltered, and never gave
ofer tUl death took the responsibility
from her hands.' Many have supposed
that this ohild, like the crime of which
the ohild was assumed to be the fruit,
was only the phantom of a disordered
brain; bat the writer of the article in
the last Quarterly Review, in a nolo on
the passage we have quoted, made the
following algnlfloant remark: 'Am the
child was not what the context may
suggest, and lias nothing to do with the
story, this paragraph is to the last
degree wanton and oruel, as every one
who biowa what that chiUl was must/eel
A volume.has jaat been published
In London entitled Mcdora Leigh; a
History and an AiUolnoffraphy. Of this
volume Dr. Charles Mackay stands as
sponsor. What the child referred to
by Mrs. Hiowe wan, mis dook pro.
fessesto reveal. Incidentally It alio
undertakes to show that Lady Byron's
accusation against her hnsband was
anfounded, and to explain how that
aoousatlon came to be made. We may
warn our readers at the start, 1st, that,
supposing the narrative to be antbentie,
it proves nothing or to the truth or
untnuth of tbe charge In controversy,
though It opens some ourlous conjectures;
and, 2d, that no evidence Is offered
of Its authenticity, while soveral
circumstances connected with the publication
are suspicious. Dr. Mackay
informs us that lie received tlio autobiography
from 'a friend,' among
whose papers it had lain unheeded for
20 years. Ho does not say who his
friend is; he does not distinctly inform
us where that friend obtained the MB.
| For the presont, lie says, we must be
content to know that tho friend Is n
I Mr. 8 , and that bo came Into possession
of the papers while ho was endeavoring
to effect a reconciliation be*
tween Lady Byron anil the unfortunate
person whose story they relate.
This is about an unsatisfactory as anything
could well be; and we might reject
the book at once were not for otio
or two circumstances which directly
and Imperfectly vouch for it. It Is
cleari for Instance, both from Mrs.
Stowe's account and the comment of
the well-informed writer In The Quarterly,
that there was a child of Mrs,
Leigh's upon whom somo sort of mystery
rested; and in the narrative here
presented correspondence Is mentioned
or quoted with various members of tho
Byron family and other well known
porsons?correspondence which would
be at once repudiated It the story were
a mere uouK-umnor ?
Paaalng over Irrelevant nmllnro, wo
oome to Uie lilatory of Medora Leigh,
the fourth daughter of Lord Byron'a
later. In theSuuiuieror JSI3, twenty'
even yean after the ucparatlon or
Lord and Lady Byron, and nineteen
yeara afwr.the poet'a death, Medora
Leigh, then twenty-eight yeara or age,
oamo from Paris to London, accompanied
by her qhlld, a daughter or nine
or ten. She ( deaorlbed aa good-looking,
lively, and agreeable, but in bad
health and without money. Her exEeneea
in traveling had buun delrayed
y a retired Engllah officer, Oapt. De
B [another anonymona wltneee],
whoae acquaintance ahe had made at
Eyerea, In the South.of France, where
ahe lived for aome time before going to
Parla. Be found her deetltuto In the
French oapltali he heard her alory; he
learned from her Hps that ah* was the
denghter of Mm, Leigh by Lord Byron,
and nntll recently had been treated
with great kindness and liberality
by Lady Byron; and ho urged her to go
to London and plead her oauae In perion
with her rich and powerful relatlvea,
helping her out or hla alendor
pane, and even aupporllng her for
aome time alter her arrival In England.
In London aha had an Interview with
Dr. Maakay'a Mr. H , one or the
partners in a law Arm with which
Captain De li? had dealings. She
wrote ont the painful itory of her life,
and oonvlnoed him of the truth of all
her aaaertlona. lie bad eeveral Interviews
with Lady Byron'a legal advtaera.
Dr. Luahlngton and Mir George
Stephen, with a view of bringing about
a reconciliation. He failed In that; he
failed also In an effort to Induce the
family to .refund .what Capt. De B
had advanoed. But before we,pnraue
thte part ol (be history any further It
will be convenient to dlaregard Dr.
Haokay'a order of narrative, una look
at tlx extraordinary autobiography
which Ihli liindnome weman of IB laid
before her oonneel:
'I am the fourth ohlld o< a family of
eeven. My eldeet elater, (Jeorgtana,
married Ur. Hoary Trevanlon, a distant
oonilo, In .1820, when I waa eleven
yean old. The marriage, whtoh had
met the approbation ol no one exoept
my mother, did not torn oat very happily,
owing lo the smellneee of fortune
and the uneven temper of both perttea.
I waa frequently called In to keep them
company, and In March, 1W, (after
they baa been married three yeare), It
waadeolded thatlaboald accompany
them to a country bona* which had
bean plaoed at their dtepoeal by my
annt Annabella, Lady Byron, dnrlng

oonflnement. The honee waa In the
neighborhood of Oaoterbary.
By alater'e Ulneee, before her confinement,
waa the ooeaaion of my being
left maah alone with Mr. Trevanlon.
Indeed, I found myeeir thrown entirely
upon him for nolely. 1 waa with him
both' In-doore and oat, by day and by
1 night, and waa frequently aent by my
a later into tale bedroom on errande, after
every oneelee In the hooae had rerto
real, dome months paaaed In
manner, during which Mr. Trevanlon
look advantage of inyyonth
and weakneea, and effected my rain,
and I found myaelf likely to become a
mother, by one I had aver disliked.
Mr, Trevanlon, when made aware ol
my poaltlon, Implored me to tell Georgian!

Mr. and Mrs. Trevanlon oarrlod the
unlortunate girl to Galula. and there
Bbe waa prematarely delivered of a
oblld, which waa left In charge ora
medloal man, and died at tbeageof
three months. She went baok to ber

happened, and theroTrevanlonaednced

Into ber oonQdence, and treated ber

wus also Informed, and took ber alater
off to the country, where, three montha
afterward, that la. In Jnne, 1831, abe
waa aurprlaed by a vlalt from Colonel

not her father, but abe did not believe

Bltles," to which Mrs. Stowe refere, he
took her to London, and plaoed her In
a private lunatic asylum, where she
remained about a month. There Trevanlou
found means to oommunloate
with her and nrrange her osoape.
Thla elopement, Medorn says, was
oonnlved at by her sister, who wanted
to get rid of her huaband (and no wonder),
and did In fact apply for a divorce,
but it was not granted. We pass over
the life of the guilty pair In Franoe,
where they two years time lived together
as man and wlfo on the ooast of
Normandy, under the assumed name
of Monslear and Madame Aubln. There
the daughter Marie, whom we have
already montloned, was bom?the only
solaoo or the wretched existence of this
thrice unfortunate child of tin. She
corresponded with her mother, who
sent her what little money she oould
spare?but the Lelgha were always In
pecuniary embarrassmeot. Other relatives
did something for her. and In 1638
she left her paramour?If that name
could be applied to a man she never
loved?and went to a neighboring town.
At last In 1840, she reoelved an aflec*
tionato letter from Lady Byron with
offore or assistance and protection, and
an Invitation to go with her to Paris.
She accepted the offers with joy# What
followed she must tell In her own
words:
'At Fontalnebleau, where aho was
detained by Illness, Lady Byron Informed
me of the cause of the deep In*
terest she felt, and must ever feel, for
me. Her husband had been my father.
She Implored and aonght my affeotlon
by overy means; anu almost exacted
my oonfidonoe to the most unlimited
extent. I was willing and anxious, In
any and every way I could, to prove
both mv gratitude and the desire I so
sincerely felt to repay by my affection
and devotion any pain she must have
felt for circumstances connected with
my birth and her separation from Lord
Hyron. Her omy wian, bug hbiu wan 10
provide for mo, according to Lord
Byron's intentions respecting me, and
according to tny rank in life. She
evinced much anxiety for my health
and comfort, expressed indignation for
all I,had Buffered, spoke of the oomfort
I would bo to her, and of the necessity
that I should be a devoted child to
her.'
She went with Lady Byron to England.
She was treated by her, and by
Lord and Lady Lovelace, with the
greatest kindness. *1 was taught,' she
says, Ho regard Ada as my sister.' For
a while It seems as If her life mustT
have been smooth and happy. But die*
agreements followed with her proteotreus,
In which, though Medora lays the
blame upon Lady Byron's temper, H Is
not diflloult to peroelve from the Autobiography
traces of the wild and ungovernable
nature of which evidence
enough has already beon shown, and
something perhaps of the suspiciousness
which is so characteristic of insanity.
Thore was a law suit for the possession
of a Deed of Appointment executed
by Mrs. Leigh and Lady Byron,
by which the sum of ?3,000 was to be
paid Medora after the death of those
ladies; and this mitt apparently was
the malu cause of the trouble. At any
rate It was arranged that Medora should
go with her daughter to Hyeres, accompanied
by a maid and valet (husband
and wife), to whom Lady Byron
intrusted the dlBbnrseinentof thesnms
sho allowed for her niece's maimer
nance.
? <>
Mr. 8 writes under date of September^,,1809:
'^ascertained that the
so-uaueu -secret wns tuunu mi vorjr
many persona besides Dr. LuBhington
ttnd Sir George Stephen, and I do not
know bow lo reoonolle tbla fact wilb
the 'dignified And magnanimous si*
ionce* claimed as a merit for Lady Byron;
for If she did not Impart the
knowledge, who else nan have done soT'
This agrees with the statements of Mr.
John Koberlson of Brighton, and the
Rev. Francis Trenah, whose letters
some time ago In the London papers
represent Lady Ilyrou ma distributing
her confidences on (his subject dnring
tho latter part of her i Ife to a great number
of her relatives and friends.
The Antobingrapby of Medora Leigh,
Judged entirely by ltsolf, would prob
ably impress most people as the pro*
duolion of u disordered brain; but It
should be remembsred that in none of
tbolotters here printed, In whiohlhe
affairs of the poor woman nre discussed
by Dr. Lunblngtoa/SIr George Stephen
and Mr. S , Is there uny bint that
| sbe was considered Insane, or that any
of her representations were false. If
Mr. S and Captain Da B had lgnorautly
espoused tiie cause of a crazy
woman, it is inconceivable that the rep*
| resentatlves of the Byron family should

character of their olleut. It must bo
remembered, however, on the other
hand, (but while (here nan be no doubt
(ll these docutnouts aro genuine) that
Medora Leigh was the ohlid of Byron's
nlster, there la no proof that she wan
Byron's daughter, nor Indeed any
proof that she waa not the legitimate
offspring of Colonel I?elgb. In the ne~
Eotiatlons for her relief the question of
or paternity does not Beem to have
peen raised, although the atory of lnoest
was known to Dr. Lushlngtou, Sir
George Stephon, and many others, and
was probably the subject of conversation
with Mr. 8?.
Ho far this strange, repnlslve book,
with lie devil's own history of Infamy,
is a strong oontlrniatlon ot Mrs. Stowe;
but after all what does It prove? Only
thiit Lady Byron told many persons,
at lettNt hh early as 1843, the same story
which ebu told to Mrs. tilowe In 18ft);
that thore wiih an unfortunate way.
ward child ot Mrs. Leigh'* upon whom
Lftdy Byron, believing her to be the
trull ot her husband's tnoestuous passion,
lavished a mother's care; probably
that this child believed Ltauy Byron's
story of her shameful birth. This
lonvea the problem as far as ever from
u solution, and of course does not weak*
en in the least the tremeudoua force of
Lady Byron's letters to her slster-lnUw
which were published In The Quarterly
Ha view, or the fsot mentioned In
the postscript to the same periodical
that when Lord Broughton (Hobhouse)
uotlng for Byron, met Mr. (afterward
tilr Robert) Wlimot llorton, Lady By?
ron's representative, with a view to an
amicable settlement, and questioned
bim npon all the charges and rumors
whloh had been uttered against the
poet as a cause for the separation, Mr.
llorton, In the name of the lady, ex*
pressly repudiated I he ,apeciflo charge
which baa- now been -revlved by Mrs.
Btowe. Dr. Macicayto theory is ihst
so far as Mis. Leigh la oonoerned the
present aocuaaUon dates from Mrs,
Travanlonto statement, toMedora about
1831 that Colonel Leigh waa not her
father* He believed that it waa the
wloked Invention of on outraged wile
who wauled to get rid of ber hueband,
alter abe bad onou dlaaovered bla Inndelliy.
11 ahe obtained a divorce, Trftvaolon
could not nlarrjr bla wire'a ?liter,
and It waa neoeeaary to make Medora
belleTe that abe waa not really
(ieorglana'a elater?or, at all eventa, not
tbe cblld of Ueorglana'a father?In order
thai tbe unfortunate ulrl, even at
the aaorlBoe of bor motbor'a good name,
uilgbt delude bereelf wllb tbe hope tbat
If tbe divorce were obtained, tbere
would remain no real obataele to ber
marriage wltb her aeduoer.' Lord lly,
ron'a name, It will be obaerved, waa
not ooupled wltb Uie aiory at thla time:
! Medotu waa only tolil tbat abe waa tbe
Illegitimate ?htM of bit mother. It
?u from Lady Byron, In 1840, that she
learned the name of ber fattier. Dr.Maokay
believe* that Lady Byron teemed It
from Ueorglaua Trevanlou, and thai
unnatural woman either Invented It
altogether for the abamefol pnrpoee we
have mentioned, or, poaelbly, got It
from lira, Charlemont. To ns thte
theory aaama lnoredltable. Itanppoaea
a more loathaome depravity In Mr*.
Trevanlon than baa aver baVh attributed
to any of tbe aotora In thla ahooklng
drama. It enppoen that, for no ad?
quale reason, aba would bleat the reputation
of ber mother, and oondemn
beralatertoa Ufa of ahame. If ahe
uranlul m HlonrnA aha hail ninu !>
ready, hi adultry had been committed,
and proving thst Madera in bar halfalater
would not farther bar plana. It
[a uiuoti mora likely that aba never
made any aaoh revelation. Wa have
only Medora'a word (or Uf and that Is
worth very llUle in qoob a eaa* aa thla.
She blame* bar mother and her alater
for exposing bar to the danger whkth
proved bar ruin. She even chargea the
alater with virtually enticing liar to
aln. Probably'theae obargee are purely
fictitious, designed to soften the horrora
other narrative and atand for bar
exoueee.
Dr. Maokay argue* that Lady Byron
cannot have enUrtalned the auaplolon
or belief which ahe oommunloated to
lledora nntllaooietl mo later (ban thla
aappoaed revelation of 4831; because
bar account of Ibe aepsriXlon published
In Moore's Lire In 183t> aeemi inoon*
latent with It;'Hat In the "first place
that acoonnt la not really Inoonalatent
with a belief In tbe'obarge ofldoeai; it
la only lnoonsletent with a willingness
to bave| that belief inspected. And
again, even If ahe did not know it In
1830, It la queer Ioglcto" oonolade that
aha cannot have known' II In 1831.
There la another difficulty, however,
whlob the editor hss apparently overlooked.
Mr. S? asya that Dr. Lnahlngton
and others In 1813 were In poaaeaalon
of the "secret' which Lsdy Byron
confided to Mrs. Stowe aa tbecauae
of the separation.' Are we lo Infer that

secret which she impacted to him lstert
There are obvious difficulties In believing
that It was the same; there are
equally obvlons dlfllonlllea la believing
that It was different except on the
sopposltlon that she had beoome noon
this one point of unsound mind?a
