british public will learn with satisfaction that tho de hi of westminster has concurred villi the dean of st pauls in refusing permission to a club of the professed admirers of lord byron to erect a mo nument to his memory in westminster abbey that the noble lord was high ly gifted can no more be denied than the utier abuse with which his whole carer has treaied the talents so munifi cently bestowed upon him it was not the force of mind which made him vici ous but the miserable ambition to be greatly bad he would not take his place amongst the good and the enligh tened nnd rank amongst the first no he would rather rein in hell than serve in heaven he perhaps more than most men has endeavoured to de base and degrade the sacred system of our pure religion anul practically exem plified in hwlfc the lessons which are so banefully cast over his most splendid pages were he minded to be eood he might have proved a benefaclor to his country but despite the strength the occasional sublimity of his poetry despite his pathos and extraordinary dis- erim nation ofcharactcrit is hazarding little to say that posterity will qualify their admiration of his talents with their regret of the dreadful perversion to which they were subjected he onlv is a benefactor of mink who paints virtue in the most amiable characters who shews vice hei deformity and who urges every incentive for the pro duction of peace and happiness amon st men lord byron according to the true standard of greatness was diminu tive indeed he degraded nvin belowthe worm on which be treads he scorned or rather affected to scorn the worlds flatteries but vanity was at his hearts core he lived upon its breath and po pular apphuse was that goal which a- lone he panted to obtain he has trick ed out vcewth a the blandishments that re my belong to virtue and garnish- ed infidelity with those allurements which are the exclusive property of re- lp we read hs works with surprise often with admiration but we never heard of one who after their perusal within him or the importance of mora lity and virtue to he mote firmly incul cated or enforced lord byron had the means of effecting much for the in nocent pleasure and moral improvement of mankind he has abused his powers he has done all that in him lay to ren der real greatness despicable brigands and infidels are the constant themes of his panegyric while virtue is denuded of her fair altribures and moral feeling is sacrificed at the shrine of philosophi cal profligacy lord byron was the declared enemy of religion and should not therefore be allowed a monument in a church dedicated to its sacred ob servances if the proposal had been made to a committee of the london u- nivetsityto allow a bronze statute of this nobleman to be put up in the portico of their own liberal institution we should have said that they would have acted most illiberally and inconsistently if they had denied the request made tn them but it would be unfair to insi nuate that any reluctance had been shewn to such a request we believe that such a proposal would have been received with acclamations and the orly difficulty would be as to the quan tum of honours to be bestowed upon his statute someone has observed that lord byron as a poet and a public man is a kind of exemplification of a real character and in a high station of the great principles of the day in these libe ral institutions that is to say of the paramount importance of genius and ta lent and the absolute insignificance and indifference whether such talents are separate from or associated with religi ous practice and belief lord byron therefore and his statute would have been perfectly at home in the half of an academy which is devoted to the pagan niifiiiv illiieivuililttf ifjitt w iwtc pantheon in which 10 consecrate his memory and in which to decree him after the fashion of the french institute in one period of the revolution the honours of an apotheosis but we trust we shall never see the day when the reviler of the decencies of life the un- dermincr of the morals of man and the scoffer of religion shall be allowed a niche in the temple consecrated to that supreme being who is the giver of all good if it were a question of merely civil rights we should perhaps admit that the community had nothing to do with lord byrons private religious opi nions but where the claim is to distinc tion and marked preeminence and not to the ordinary rights of sej ulture in a christian temple and as regards chris tian honours it surely cannot be con tended for a moment that he is entitled to any eminence or distinction of this kind whose life as indicated by his writings was passed in contempt and enmity to all religious principles if the dignitaries of the church wish to maintain aud uphold religion they must not hold up to public honour or general imitation such a character as lord by- ion the swallow who has ever lis tened to the cheerful twitter of the swal low from his clay built cottage without a most friendly and affectionate regard for the bird who seeks the society of man and repays the shelter furnished him by the destiuction of myriads of the insects that waste the fruits of the earth and the harvests of the fields the o- ther inhabitants of the air who visit the farm house the garden or the grove are far less gentle and pol ished in their manners than the little harbinger of sum mer the robin is a glutton who swallows the worm or plunders the cher ry tree without thinking of any body but himself the cat bird is an impudent rascal who flutters before you mocking every note he hears and then insults you with an exlcmporate squall appro priate to his own bill the read breast is an idle dandy admiring his own plum age and whistling for amusement the king bird gloomy morose and suspici ous chooses the highest branch and sits a solitary tyrant shouting defiance to friend or foe the martm is garrul ous and quarrelsome fighting occus ally and chattering all the time but the swallow comes to our homes salut ing us with the mellow gush of his tfu- icwheeling circling round with a fl ght rapid as the darting of an arrow the ery emblem of activity cheerfulness the superstition of the country has clothed this beautiful and friendly bird with the character which protects him from the cowardly aim of the
