Is not that beautiful, great, grand and glo-
rious for the Black Swan? What hit Just
upon the heels of Uncle Tom" and Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe. What a palpable hit We
predicted something like this yesterday, but
the reality far transcends our most sanguine
expectations. Single reserved seats half a
guinea-that is, in round numbers, two dollars
and halt Unreserved seats, or promenade
tickets, seven shilling and sixpence, or
about one dollar eighty-seven and a-half cents
Where is Barnum now? And Her Grace the
Duchess of Sutherland heads the bill of noble
patronesses! Oh most admirable John Bull,
who can measure the length of his ears? And
it is morning concert, beginning at three
O'Clock in the morning, and ending at five!
Think of that, ye early risers of New York.
But as the morning in London does not begin
till about twelve o'clock in the day, this bill,
doubtless. means from three to five in what
with US is called the afternoon. A busy time
Of day in London. None Of the common people
no poor white trash" Of her Aajesty's sub
jects can afford to lose two of those precious
hours at two dollars and half, or even dol
lar and eighty-seven and half cents to hear
the Black Swan sing. She is above such vul-
garity. She is the protege of the aristocracy;
and perhaps, when they are satisfied. she may
condescend to give the mercantile classes, at
least, a concert or two at reduced prices.
But what spectacle of British philanthropy
is here presented to the world Let the Black
Swan, however. strike while the iron is hot.
She is just in the nick of time. While weeping
over the IMAGINARY sorrows of Uncle Tom our
susceptible old friend, John Bull, may be hum
hinged on the grandest scale. There is room
in England now not only for the Black Swan,
but for any quantity and every variety Of
specnlations by ''Our free colored Americans"
and fugitive slaves. George X. Downing with
his superior American oysters, might realise
handsome fortune in three months in London
at this crisis; and Fred Douglass. as a lecturer
on Southern slavery, might return in the spring.
and buy out the finest establishment on Fifth
avenue. A company Of blacks representing life
in the South, would run like wildfre all over
England. Will they not profit from this golden
opportunity? The Black Swan is not enough
for the overlooking sympathy of our benevolent
John Bull. Let Downing see to it. and take
over for his relief a whole regiment of the
colored race. big and little male and female,
and gather in the rich harvest of poor old
Uncle Tom Let him also take some Of his
fine Princes Bay oysters.
