| THR DE. ‘TH OF v SHELLEY THE} OET —A STARTLING STORY.

| j Mr. W. M. Rossetti writes to the Zime of yesterday as follows -— ‘*Sir,—I have been re quested by Mr. Trelawny (who is at present out of town) to offer to you for publ.cation the enclosed | extract from a letter addressed to him by his daughter on the 22nd, inst, throwing }new light on the circumstances under which the illustrious poet Shelly was drowned in 1822. Mr. Trelawny (as all who knew Shels ley are aware) was more closely conversant than any one else with the incidents im» mediately preceding and following the poet’s death, and he gives credit to this | new and painfully important disclosure on the subject. In writing to me he says :— ‘4 This account so actu ally corresponds with the event, that I tuink it solves that | which for a half a century has been a | mistery to me and others.’

‘““My dear Father—I have just heard something that will interest you. A little while ago there died at Spezia an old sailor, who, in his last confession to the priest (whom he told to make public), stated that he was one of the crew that ran down the boat containing Shelley and Williams; which was done under the impression that ‘milord Byren’ was on board with lots of money. They did notintend to sink the boat, but to board her and murder Byron, She sank,he said,as soon as she was struck.

“This account was sent to my friends, the K—-s, by a person they are intimate with, and who lives at Spezia, and I believe, knows the priest.”

On this subject the London Standard in the corclusion of a long article, says -—

It will thus be seen that the alleged deathsbed confession of the sailor is anys thing but improbable in itself. V hat ia more likely is that it contains the truth but but not the whole truth. One of Byron's servants or handerson at Pisa delt a mortal

wound during the scuffle to which we have alluded, and Byron himself says, in one of his letters, that the relations of the mur-~ dered naan swore to be avenged. It cere tainly strikes us asrather odd that these pirates should have intended, in the words of the dying man, to “ Poard her and murder Byron. Why murder Byron and not his companions, unless some motive of vengeance entered into the deed’ It is true they intended also to get hold of a “lot of money,”’ but there is nothing improbable in the existence of the two motives. It is not quite easy to understand how the Boli- var could be confounded with the Don Juan, a much similar craft, nor how these seas/ravi should have come to suppose that l‘yron was in the latter. Nevertheless, it does not seem highly probable that the world was robbed of the genius of Shelley, not by the too careles§ temper of the elements, but by the ruftians who who meditated depriving it of a more precious life. The best cantos of * Don Juan ”’ had, it is true already been written, for Byron had read them to Shelley at Pisa. But much good work remained to be done by its author; and he had, in any case to strike and die for Greece. ‘I have lived toolong near Byron”’ said Shelley, “ and the star has extinguished the glow-worm."’ ‘‘There is thus another man gone,” wrote Byron, “about whom the world was ills naturedly, and ignorantly, and brutually mistaken. It will, perhaps, do him justice now, when he can ‘be no better for it. You are all mistaken about Shelley. You do not know how mild, how tolerant,how good Posterity has taken the estimates
