WVe gave a statement the other day of the late transac- tions with respect to Lor(d BYBON'S MSS., wvhich, though correct in the leading facts,--viz. the destruction of the manuscript, andthe repayment by Mr; MooitR of the 2,000 guineas,-contained, we find from autlhority, some errois, whicli we hasten to correct. The manu- script was not perused by Mrs. LEiGii, or any of the persons concerned, previously to its destruction, though it was the opinion of MIr. 310oRE and others that such a step should be taken. WVe are also informed, that though it was originally the intention of the noble author to have this document published, yet that latterly both himself and Mr. Moota strongly doubteJ the propriety of such a measure. 'With respect to Mr. MURRAY'S share in the transaction, n e understaud from the same au- thority, that this gentlenan was equaUy (tesirous with the rest of Lord ByRON'S friends for the destruction of the MIS., and so little regardled his own interest in the concern, that he declined accepting the money from AMr. Mlvoor E; who, however, insistecl upon his receiving it as a debt (lue upon his bond.
