T JUL'S F A V I N is a disease which has long been incident to Horses, and has hith erto defied the attempts of the most skilful to re move, and many valuable horses laboring under this complaint, have been rendered but little bet ter than useless to the owner. A remedy is now offered to the public, which in repeated instances has been applied with abun dant success. The proprietor is well aware that in this en lightened age, the current of public opinion is decidedly opposed to Nostrums and Patent?, from the well known fact that the country has already been inundated with “ the said to be infallible cures, &c.” and although this is an age in which the credulous arc duped and the wise sometimes deceived, let it be remembered, that it is also a day of deep research and investigation ; and not withstanding the many obstacles the proprietoi may have to encounter, he is ready to breast him self against the torrent of popular prejudice, and rely with confidence upon the candour of the public to decide whether this MOST VALUABLE REMEDY, deserves the stamp of imposition.— Suffice it then to say, that this remedy, irorn the\ experiments already made, is offered to the pub lic under a full conviction of its beneficial effects, anu its further efficacy remains only to be tested by its general use. Although it is not pretended but there may be instances of this disease having become so confirmed and obstinate from long standing, as to render the cure at least doubtful, yet no experiment has been made within the knowledge of the proprietor, in which the result has not been highly favourable. The proprietor deems it proper and highly important to the pub lic, to observe that this remedy, with some little variation, has been applied with equal success in obstinate cases of RING BONE. The above remedy is carefully prepared and put up in small bottles with labels attached to each, designating which is to be applied to Spa vins and which to Ring Bones, and also, accom panying each bottle, directions for applying the same.

Griffin, Westerlo, Albany county, will be promptly attended to. JAMES GRIFFIN. O f the numerous Certificates that might be offered, the folloioing only are subjoined. This may certify that 1 have cured a number of Spavins and Ring Bones, by the use of Pros- seRs Linament, and in no instance have 1 applied it without success. H E N R Y PRO S S E R . Westerlo, June 4, 1824. This is to certify that two years ago I had a Mare so badly diseased with a Ring Bone, that 1 was unable to use her in any way. As she was a valuat> 1 e animal, I was induced to try a variety of remedies said to cure every thing, but found no benefit until I applied ProsseRs Linament, pre pared by J, Griffin, which performed a complete cure in a short time, and have no hesitation in re commending it to the public as a safe and infalli ble cure for the Spavin and Ring Bone. D A V ID H A N N A Y . Westerlo, June 8 , 1824. I do hereby certify that I applied ProssePs Lin ament, prepared by J.

CAUSE OF TH E SE P A R A T IO N OF L O R D A N D L A D Y BYRO N , At the time of Lord Byron’s separation from his Lady, many different and contradictory sto ries were in circulation, as to the real cause of such an event. Scandal was not idle on the oc casion, and reports highly prejudicial to his Lord ship’s character were most industriously circulat ed by his enemies. A domestic division which arose from a very trifling circumstance, was laid hold of with avidity, in order to propagate the heaviest imputation against the morals of Lord Byron, that the most malicious heart could possi bly devise. The real cause of this occurrence originated in jealousy on the part of Lady Byron. Her Lady ship was filled with constant suspicions of the fidelity of her Lord • these doubts, it is said, bad been infused into her mind by a favourite confi dante, who had been her governess, and had con tinued to reside with her, after her marriage, in the capacity of a friend. This person, actuated, one would imagine, by the spirit of a fiend, form ed the design, from some hellish motives, of de stroying the domestic felicity of the noble pair, under whose roof she was a sojourner. This fe male Ictgo commenced by vague imputations,— dark inuendoes, and damnable surmises respect ing Lord Byron, whose every action she watched with the eye of an Argus, to misrepresent with the cool, calculating malevolence of a demon.— She at length got so complete an ascendancy over the mind of Lady Byron, that her Ladyship was incapable of viewing any thing, except through the jaundiced medium in which this mo'nsler chose to present it. Though Lord Byron, pre vious to his nuptials with Miss Noel, daughter of Sir Ralph Milbank Noel, had lived a very free and dissipated life, yet, it is asserted by his most intimate friends, that no man could have been more restrained in his conduct than he was after his marriage, and at the precise time of the quar rel which took place between the parties, aud which terminated in their eternal separation. At this period Lord Byron wras one of the com mittee of Drury Lane Theatre, and frequently had th e a trica l p e r s o n s , b o th m a le and fem a le, calling at his residence on affairs connected with the committee. This circumstance was artful l y seized upon by the person who was the con fidante of Lady Byron, and was converted by her into a means of still farther deluding her Lady ship’s mind. Lord Byron was represented as having affairs of gallantry with several actresses. As “ trifles light as air are, to the jealous, con firmations strong as proofs of holy writ,” so a tri vial matter which occurred tended to inflame the mind of Lady Byron, a 1 ready prepared by the machinatious of the person above alluded to. The beautiful Mrs. Mardyn, at that time a member of the Drury Lane Company, had occa sion to call upon Lord Byron at his residence, re lative to some theatrical business, and was shown into his Lordship’s library. During her stay there came a dreadful storm of rain ; and when the lady was about to depart, Lord Byron sent a servant to procure a hackney-coach. There not being a single coach to be found, his Lord ship very politely ordered his carriage to convey her home. Lady Byron, who had received inti mation that Mrs. Mardyn was in tfie house, on learning that the carriage was ordered for her, directed the servant to say, that his Lordship’s carriage had been lent, and was abroad. “ Then,” said Lord Byron, (who immediately suspected that this was an excuse arising from the jealous mind of his Lady, and her consequent disinclina tion that such a conveyance should be provided for the female stranger) with some impetuosity, “ let Lady Byron’s carriage be instantly got rea dy.” Lady Byron’s answer to this was, “ go and tell your master that Mrs. Mardyn shall ne ver ride in a carriage belonging to me.” Here upon Lord Byron, with great sang froid, observ ed, that as Mrs. Mardyn could not be procured any kind of conveyance home, she should stay and dine. Dinner w a s at length announced 5 — and the Noble Lord led Mrs. Mardyn to the din ing-room, where Lady Byron had just preceded thern. On their entrance, he presented Mrs. Mardyn to his Lady, who, with an air and man ner manifesting \the deepest indignation, made soire caustic observations on Mrs. Mardyn’s cha racter, and the object of her visit, and burst from the room. The consciousness of his integrity of conduct, and the injustice of Lady Byron’s sus picions, roused in turn a momentary, though, perhaps, a too warm resentment, in the bosom of his Lordship, and as he followed his Lady to the door, he betrayed more of defiance, even, than reproach— and quickly slapped it to as Lady By ron retired. This was too much for a woman full of love and passion, and with another feel ing superinduced by both. She re-entered. Her proud spirit was depicted in her countenance ;— and, with a commanding air, a.nd a firmness and determination from which she never afterwards relaxed, she exclaimed, “ I leave you for ever— never will I live with that man again !” These were the last words Lord Byron ever heard his Lady utter — he saw 7 her now for the last time !— The carriage, which had been gotten ready by his Lordship’s subsequent orders, for Mrs. IVlar- dyn, served to convey his Lady from his house, to return no mo tod She threw a mantle over her shoulders— -filed, as i't were, from her home ; stopt hastily into her chariot, and‘drove to-her father’s residence— leaving the astonished hus band, and the almost tainting cause of sorijmch domestic disquietude, wrapt in confusion add as tonishment. From this apparently trifling cause, arose the separation of Lord Byron and his Lady ; both being extremely passionate, and his Lordship too proud to make even the slightest concession.— The individual who had irritated Lady Byron against her husband, had caused her to suspect that her Lord hud an intrigue with Mrs. Mardyn. Mrs. Mard>n, however, denies, in the most solemn manner, ever having any commerce of the kind, with Lord Byron. Thus, it would ap p e a r , hut for the insidious insinuations of a base wretch, the domestic happiness ofthe Noble pair would not have been impaired ; the separa tion would never have taken place ; and Eng land would not now have to lament for the most gifted other sons. When ihe fact of the separation of the trniy illustrious Lord Byron from his Lady reached the public ear, the most intense curiosity pre vailed in every circle of life as to the cause.— Rumour soon placed the innocent Mrs. Mardyn, (innocent as io this charge, at least,) before the eyes of the world, as the guilty instrument of so much misery ; and her name passed from one to another with the fleetness of the wind as the de served object of public reprobation. There is a confidence imparted by innocence which defies clanger, and which battles with resentment, no matter how terrific its shape or its magnitude.— Mrs. Mardyn heard her name pronounced in con nected with a crime by which she divided two hearts linked to each other by the most senti mental and endearing ties. She was, however, equal to the crisis,, and she determined to meet the storm of public rage, satisfied that the con sciousness of her purity, as regarded the imput ed charge, would befriend her in the exigency. At this time Mrs. Mardyn was engaged at Drury Lane. She was announced on an evening short ly subsequent to the separation of the Noble pitir 9 for a part in a £pnaedy of Farquhar. The hour arrived— the minute—the moment—and she ap peared ! It was an awful hour, an awful moment to her! Scarcely had she cleared the wing o fthe stage, when a deafening, and, as it appeared, an unappeaseable burst of indignant vengeance would have compelled her to retire. The house was crowded to excess. The audience, particu larly the box audience, were vociferous and re solute in their endeavours to hoot her from the stage. The pit rose as a single man—the galle ries vehemently exclaimed against her ; called upon her instantly to retire ; and charged her, without any disguise of languge, with the frailties and the worst vices of her sex. A Grecian dame could not have borne her sufferings with more fortitude, or ail English female her situation with more propriety of demeanor than did Mrs. Mar dyn in this trying hour. She was equal to it, how ever. The call upon her to withdraw was met, on her part, by her advance to the very lights of the stage. Her step was intrepid, and she wav ed her hand, claiming to be heard as she came forward to the view of every member of the au dience. Her first words were, “ Nay ; 1 will never retire, with life, under undeserved oblo quy— I will, I must be heard !”— Her manner had the awe of innocence about it. Her voice was, not only bold and undaunted—it was min gled with all that was pathetic in appeal; though it was firm, it was still femenine, and the beauty of the sufferer, and the imploring, yet firm atti tude in which she stood, soon checked outrage, and invited attention. A British audience is a genuine epitome of the British nation 5 it is what the Roman satirist considered a Roman crowd, in which the union of all classes represented, not only the vices, but the virtues of the illustrious community of the commonwealth. There was in the air of Mrs. Mardyn a repelling power, which, as it were, opposed force to force, stilled the storm which threatened her destruction. In a moment, and, as by a common consent, a si lence, as fearful as the late commotion, reigned ; and the words which broke upon the auditory were, “ I am an unprotected female, and I throw myself upon the protection of a British audience. —It is not the characteristic of a Briton to put down, unheard, a helpless woman. I am inno cent of the charge made against me ; and I look to every manly heart for support iw this crisis.” It was not the matter, but the impressive man- ner of this appeal which produced an effect un parallelled in a public theatre. Mrs. Mardyn sub sequently was proved, beyond a doubt, to have been entirely innocent as regarded any criminal ity with Lord Byron. L is worthy of notice, that the maize . which is found in the graves of the Peruvians, who lived before the arrival of the Europeans in that coun try, is still so fresh, that, when p lan t e d , it grows well, and vield seed. ’ ' ’•
