Mr- Mills' has prepared a work on Irish Tithes and Temporals , which Mr . ( jobbett says ( Register , Vol . 42 , p . 250 ) he hopes the public is soon to have in their possession . It presents a picture ,
he adds , which , if it could but be once seen by every man in the kingdom , would cause the immediate , the instant abolition of the monstrous original , the equal of which has never been seen before in anv country under the sun .

Professor Cheneviere , of Geneva , has in the press a French Translation of Marsh ' s Michaelis , with many additional notes . Scriptural criticism has been so much neglected among the French and Swiss Protestants , that the publication of a version of this admirable work
becomes an important fact ; and it is doubly so at a moment when authority pretends to decide all subjects of doubt , and refuses to the judgment and to the conviction their honest exercise . The Professor will attack the supposed errors of the English Prelate , and give , we have reason to believe , a high tone of liberal feeling to the volumes .

Jitter from Lord Byron to Mr . Murray , the Bookseller , o ? i his * ' CamJ '"
( From the Newspapers . ) Pisa , February 8 , 1822 . Dear Sir ,
Attacks upon me were to be expected ; but I perceive one upon you in the papers , which I confess I did not expect . How , <> t in what manner , you can be considered responsible for what I publish , I am at a toss to conceive . If " Cain" be "
blaspluMiious , " Paradise Lost is blasphemous ; and the words of the Oxford gentleman , " Kvil , be thou my good , " are from that y poem , from the mouth of Satan ; and is there any thing more in that of
Lucifer in the Mystery ? Cain is nothing m than a drama , not a piece of argument . If Lucifer and Cain speak as the hr murderer and the first rebel may be supposed to speak , surely all the rest of I HP r \ f » l » O / X » inn ...,. A II . 1 ^ . . . 1 * _ _„ . «_ 1 C talk also to

Slave Trade . It is distressing to learn that the nefarious commerce in human beings is still largely carried on . The profits of the
abominable traffic are so great , that it is not likely to be finally crushed , until all the civilized states shall engage by treaty to employ an adequate naval force on the African coasts , for the protection of humanity . Kngland has , to the honour of
her government , done much in this philanthropic work ; the United States of America , more . The latter country has employed armed vessels on the shores of Africa for the suppression of the piracy
( as it is now regarded ) of making and transporting slaves . Many wretched cargoes have been seized by the American navy , and the poor negroes carried to the United States' colony , set on foot in Africa for their civilization . A
committee of the Senate was appointed some time ago for the suppression of the Slave Trade , and they have made a report in which they recommend the continuance of the exertions already made , with some improvements as to the construction of the vessels employed and their comple-

tion of the effect of the presence of Jehovaln The old Mysteries introduced him liberally enough , and all this is avoided in the new one .
The attempt to bully you , because they think it will not succeed with ine , seema to me as atrocious an attempt as ever disgraced the times . What ! when
Gibbon ' s , Hume ' s , Priestley ' s and Drummond ' s publishers have been allowed to rest in peace for seventy years , are you to be singled out for a work of fiction , not of history or argument ? There must be something at the ' bottom of thissome private enemy of your own : it is otherwise incredible .
1 can only say , Me—me adsum qut feet" that any proceedings directed against you , I beg may be transferred to me , who am willing , and ought to endure them all ; that if you have lost money by the publication , I will refund any , or all , of the copyright ; that 1 desire you will say , that both you and Mr . Gifford remonstrated against the publication , as also Mr . Hobhouse ; that / alone occasioned it , and I alone am the person who either legally or otherwise should bear the
burden . If they prosecute , I will come to England ; that is , if by meeting it in my own person , I can save yours . Let me know—you sha ' nt suffer for me , if I can help it . Make any use of this letter which you please . Yours ever , BYRON .
