This church, only twenty paces in length, has long been a burial-place of the Byrons: nine of them now lie in the family-vault under the chancel. Here Byron's mother, who died at Newstead in 1811, soon after his return from abroad, was buried; and here, in compliance with a wish which he expressed in his younger and calmer days, and which he appears afterwards at times to have cherished, notwithstanding what is contained in his writings to the contrary, he was himself interred, in July 1824. His coffin lies on the south side of the chancel. In the wall, between it and the door, is inserted a monumental tablet of white marble set in gray, of which the following is an accurate copy. We look forward with great expectation of pleasure to the continuance of a publication equally honourable to the genius by which it has been suggested, and to the genius displayed in its execution.

By the side of it hangs on a peg a paltry daub ing of his arms, which it had been better to have left alone. To the inscription, I have nothing to object; but it obviously strikes an observer, that the name of Augusta Mary Leigh is more conspicuous than his to whom the tablet was placed. I should have abstained from making any remarks which might be considered painful ference which all his soi-disant friends and relato the connexions of Byron, had not the indiftives have shewn to his memory removed all scruples, and fully justified me in passing censures upon them. The inscription would appear to be the praiseworthy mark of affection from a sister to a brother; but, surgit amari, what can be supposed, when it is known that it was not till more than a year had elapsed from the time of his interment, and till murmurs on such neglect had become loud and long, that even this tardy and small tribute to his memory was afforded. So, "Behold her love or pride!" it was put up in August 1825. A book, presented by a distinguished author, is kept in the church, for the registry of persons visiting the tomb. His own inscription and verses in it express the opinions of thousands on this subject.

It ought, however, in our opinion, to be gracioso rather than allegretto, to suit the poetry. It is now four years since the death of Byron, and no public monument has been erected THE composition of this ballad is easy, but to him. This cannot arise from any want of not the less charming. Another blotch of a support, as a numerous list of subscribers, frontispiece distinguishes it. among whom were some of the first names of the country, was obtained long ago. Why the person who undertook the management, afterwards relinquished his task and his duty, he himself can best explain. It is satisfactory at least to think, that a measure so highly interesting to the Poet's admirers in all quarters of the globe, met with no want of cordial support: and if their wishes to honour his remains have not been fulfilled, it is only in consequence of the officious interference or cold neglect of those very men who ought to have been the first-both from public and private motives-to further their intentions.* B. MUSIC. THE MELODISTS' CLUB. DRAMA. KING'S THEATRE. ON Saturday Madame Schutz sang with Madame Pasta in Semiramide, and even by the side of the prima donna obtained general and well-deserved applause.

The Duke of Sussex's name stands at the head; and among others, Thomas Moore (tu quoque, Brute!). Opposite to Byron's tablet still remains his mother's hatchment; and on the north side of the chancel is an old-fashioned white marble tablet, surmounted by the family arms, with the following inscription : "Beneath in a vault Is interred the body of Richard Lord Byron, With a laudable memory for his great piety and charity.

Don Giovanni is, altogether, we believe, the opera in highest estimation in this country; and to have the talents of Sontag, Caradori, and Zuchelli, united in it, as on Thursday next, must be a sumptuous banquet for the lovers of music. DRURY LANE. ON Wednesday Miss Fanny Ayton made her début at this theatre as Rosetta in Love in a Village: her reception and her encores were such as her great merits, both theatrical and musical, so richly deserve. We may say, in a word, that a sweeter representative of Rosetta never appeared upon the English stage; of which we trust this captivating English songstress will long be the grace and ornament, however fashion may run after exotic novelties.

An English gentleman, of the name of Ball, has lately commenced a course of lectures in Paris, on the works of Shakespeare; accompanied with critical remarks on the style of the various English performers of the present time and of former days. The Dead Alive.-A certain French physician, in speaking of the means of restoring drowned persons, says " If the dead person (cadavre) give signs of life," &c. &c.; and the police instructions on the same subject use the like expression.

Raphael's Cartoons. A fortnight ago we noticed the publication of the first plate of the Cartoons in lithography by Mr. Foggo. We now refer to the circumstance, from being enabled to state a fact connected with the Cartoons which we believe is not generally known. It is, that duplicates of two of the Cartoons, (by duplicates we do not mean copies, but works equally original with those at Hampton Court), viz. Peter and John healing the Lame Man at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple; and the Sorcerer struck with blindness,-are in the possession of Mr. Brown, at his residence in the Alpha cottages, Regent's Park. These valuable works were brought from Italy by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and after his decease presented by the late Marchioness of Thomond to his assistant Marchi ; at the sale of whose effects they were bought without examination, rolled up, and described in the catalogue as a parcel of drawings. servation, and not inferior in any respect to those in the gallery at Hampton Court, they are equally worthy of the attention of the connoisseur.

"We have particularly examined the apparatus employed in the formation of these artificial mineral waters, and we have no bestation in saying that it is above all praise. We have had the testimony of some talented physicians at Brighton, touching the efficacy of these waters in various chronic disorders of the Tiscera, and it is most satisfactory. We have also seen many patients who had derived the greatest advantage from their use.
