GRISI AND HER HUSBAND.

A he appearance during the latter part of the past week of
4 Paragraph in the Morning Post has caused very consider-
able excitement in the upper circles as well as in the theatrical
44'1 musical averld.
!We have endeavoured to ascertain what the circumstances
the case actually are, and we believe the following version
°'• the matter will be found correct ;
h It will be remembered that the means by which M. de
'lley discovered what were the intentions of Lord Castle-
l'eagh in. reference to Madame Grisi were expressions con-
fair ie a letter from the Noble Viscount addressed to the
• artiste, which letter accidentally came into his possesaion
11151e.ad of that of the lady herself. •
.1, Since the .‘ meeting" between the parties, it appears, there
u," been an oft-repeated demand made by Grisi that the
pectueent should be eonsigeed to the flames, and that as
;w'tea as that requi.st was urged, so often was it met by a posi-
,e refusal.
I\l' 'le Nhley has been induced to retain the letter on the
441 r.:),ursil tha, were the wound receive by L•trd Castlereagh to
to fatal consequence, it idoee could be his evidence to
IPw that he was warratred and fully justified by the laws of
L5111.0%111." bk having adopted the step of calling on the Noble
eiittileo affr,rd him the satisfaction usually grant xl by one
Th.tee.e to an9rer.
t rp • Pieservabon of the letter, however, it would seem, has
1,1.1y4t.ta siipposition in the • breaA of Grisi that her I.mybAnd

rectitude of her conduct, and nothing but its destruction
wizil c°'setptentlw, have the effect of setting her m:nd at reste

BLYTHING UNION.
At a Meeting of the Board of Guardians, held at the
Workhouse at Bulcamp, on Monday, the 2d July, 1838,
the following resolutions were passed :
Resolved,
Ist. That the great design of the New Poor Law is
to call into exercise the prudential virtues of the labouring
classes, whereby they may be enabled of themselves to make
honourable provision against the vicissitudes and casualties
to which their employment and health are necessarily sub-
jected.
2d, That it is essential to the exercise of those virtues,
that the labouring. classes possess the means of suitable
institutions, the opportunity of meeting- such provision,
and that their improved habits and dispositions under the
operation of the New-poor Law necessarily create a de-
mand for increased knowledge and information regarding
the nature and principles of such Institutions.
3d. That the advantages which the National Loan
Fund Life Assurance Society hold out to the industrious
classes above the best regulated Benefit Societies, merit
the attention of all persons desirous of ameliorating the
moral and physical conditioa of those classes, and of being
considered their truest friends.
4th. That the Right Hon. the Earl of Stredbroke be
therefore requested as Chairman of the Blything Union, to
convey the thanks of the Board of Guardians to the Chairman
and Directors of the National Loan Fund Life Assurance
Society, through his Grace the Duke of Somerset, the Patron
of that Society, for the Prospectuses so liberally supplied
by them for insertion in the work, containing the official
account of all the parochial charities and public trust funds
in this Union, and that his Lordship he at the same time
requested to transmit, for the acceptance of his Grace and
of the Cha;rman of that Society, copies of the said work.
(Signed) HARRY WHITE, Clerk.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY AGAINST

LADY SEYMOUR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

was much struck with a perusal of the proceedings
in a Commission of Lunacy against Lady Seymour, inserted
in your paper of Thursday. As I seldmt read the reports of
such cases, my attention was first directed to it by noticing
that part, in which Mr. Winslow is reported to have said to
the Jury :—" That the period of the lucid intervals must be
stated in their Verdict, and that they must also state whether
she as a Lunatic OR NOT :"—whercupon, the jury who had re-
turned a general verdict of Lunacy against the Lady, were
under the necessity of retiring to re-consider the matter, after
which they returned stating, that they could not agree to a
verdict, without hearing farther evidence; and the enquiry was
then adjourned to give time for the production of other wit-
nesses. These circumstances led me to read the whole report
and without taking up your time and space, I must say, that I
never perused anything bearing the shape of evidence, which
less warranted the conclusion to which the jury at first, were
inclined to come. I, therefore, as one of your numerous
readers, concur entirely in the rembrks you made on the case,
and cannot omit obsendng that the public are under great ob-
ligations to you, for watching such proceedings, which affect
the well-being of the community. It is not for me to impugn
the motives of those whose instituted the enquiry ; but it ap-
pears strange, that the Lady's physicians and relatives seem so
anxious to establish her insanity, and to have one of her rela-
tives appointed to take charge of her son as well as her pro-
perty; while the statements and appearance made by herself,
must convince every reasonable person that she is perfectly
compos mentis, notwithstanding all the calamities she hai suf-
fered. and the injurious treatment to which she has been sub-
jected. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, D. M.
Westminster, 14th July, 1838.
