THE ARISTOCRACY AND MADAME

GRISI.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—As if aristocratic insolence and indecency were not
already sufficiently remarkable, they have endeavoured to
blazon it more than ever by their conduct to Madame Grisi.
I am surprised, Sir, that the Liberal Press—for to the other
portion it is needless to look—have taken no notice of the
treatment the "singing woman" received on her benefit, on
account of Castlereagh. It is a fact, Sir, and you will find
so upon inquiry, that owing to the absence of the ARISTOCRACY,
almost any box might have been had on the night of Grisi's
benefit, while Castlereagh was to be seen in the ‘. omnibus"
box, making himself as conspicuous as possible by insolence to
Madame Grisi, and contempt of propriety.
Surely, Sir, if this be the tone of morality among the higher
classes, that a woman who happens to be virtuous, is therefore
to be exposed to insult, we need scarcely wonder at the poli-
tical iniquity of the Upper House ; nor need they be surprised
if the virtuous middle classes, disgusted at their iniquities,
moral and political, feel uneasy until they have emancipated
themselves from their irresponsible controul ? In the sincere
hope that they may succeed in this,
I remain, Sir,

Your most humble servant and subscriber,
London, Aug. 7, 1838. J. D.

GEORGE THOMPSON, ESQ.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—With the deepest emotion, and the most heartfelt
pleasure, have I read in your invaluable Journal of last week
the account of the proceedings at Birmingham to commemo-
rate the extinction of Negro Slavery in the West Indies—l
wish I could have said in the whole of the British Colonies.
The eloquent speeches, the touching appeals, and the Chris-
expressed for the poor, helpless, and outcast
ntieagn miat
rosy,ha)dibny them enough to make the hearts of freemen re-
joice that liberty, true, perfect liberty, has been at last, in one
day, conferred upon 800,000 of our race. But the work is not
accomplished yet—The Sun has yet to enlighten the minds
and warm the hearts of some of Briton's sons in the sacred
cause of humanity. Go on, Sir, nor cease to agitate till the
glad sound of freedom shall reverberate even to the most dis-
tant part of our globe.
May I be permitted through you to call the attention of the
friends of the negro to the claims of one of the 'most un-
daunted, persevering, and eloquent friends of freedom, whose
life, health, and best energies have been put forth in defence
of the claims of the poor bleeding and manacled slave—l need
only mention the name of GEORGE THOMPSON to find an echo
in ten thousand breasts.
I have not the honour of his acquaintance, neither am I
known in any way to him, but I do think he is justly entitled
to some distinguished mark of respect—some lasting token
of admiration—at the hands of all lovers of genuine Chris-
tian freedom. Who has not seen him apparently ex-
hausted ? labouring with a torrent of impassioned elo-
quence not to be overcome—in fact carrying all argu-
ment and all the finer feelings of our nature before him
like a torrent, while advocating the cause of the negro in this
country? And who car, forget his manly courage and perse-
verance in America, the boasted land of freedom ! but slave-
oppressing America. There, at the risk of his life, he stood
to beard the lion in his own den. We owe him a tribute of
gratitude for his exertions, and now that his exertions are not
so much wanting, compensation for his toils.
I am, Sir, your's respectfully,
J. S.

OMNIBUS FARES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn—As the public Press i 3 the means of checking imposi-
tion, with that view I solicit the favour of your inserting the
following circumstance in your guardian paper, The Sun:—
Yesterday I got into an omnibus (with the name of Cloud,
No, 2,503, painted-on it), opposite the Green Park, Picca-
dilly, and was put down at Kensington, a distance of about If
miles, when I tendered a shilling, and requested the change.
To my surprise the conductor refused, adding, that was the
fare, and immediately called out " all's right," and left me,
no doubt thinking to himself how cleverly he had duped me
out of sixpence. To avoid being so duped in future, I intend
to provide myself with the proper change, or at least to get
change before giving the larger amount, which is the advice
I would give those who do not wish to be duped by some of
these omnibus sharks.
I am, yours, &C.
Aug. 6, 1838. ANTI-IMPOSITION.
P. S.—l do not apprehend the proprietor has or will benefit
by the imposition, because, probably, it may be practised with-
out his knowledge or consent.

The temperature in the United States is described
by all the recent accounts from that country to have been remarkably
high during the first twenty days of the last month. Here, and in
France and Germany, it has been complained of as very cold. A
writer in the Monthly ChiJnicle records that he was sitting with his
feet on the fender, before a blazing fire, on the 27th of July ; and the
temperature here, up to this time, has cantinued low. The average of
late has probably been below the point at which corn and wall-fruits
ripen. The extra heat in one place leads us to infer that the want of
it in another is likely to continue, and that the season will not be extra-
ordinarily propitious here. Such seasons have at least this good effect—
they arrest attention to the phenomena, and tend to make us better ac.
quainted with meteorology. They may be considered as experiments
instituted for the general instruction.
SEWERS IN FETTER-LANE.—A correspondent
wishes us to draw the attention of the Commissioners of Sewers to the
unconnected state of the sewers in Fetter-lane. No sewer has been
finished between Neville-court and Norwich-court, and as some repairs
are now going on connected with the sewers in one or two parts of the
lane, he thinks the opportunity ought to be taken to construct one.
PHENOMENA.—In consequence, it is supposed, of
012 abundant showers, during the last four months, the scaffold-poles
planted in front of the new banking-house of the Lincoln and Lindsey
company, in this city, as well as others in front of Messrs. Colema's have
begun to sprout out buds.—Lincoln Chronicle.
