!onsiderable excitement was occasioned on Mon-
day morning at Lloyd's by the receipt, via Londonderry, of
some shipping intelligence from Boston, which it was con-
jectured had been brought by a Quebec steamer, and pro-
bably by the missing North Briton. On further inquiry,
however, it appeared that the news in question had come
by the City of Baltimore on Saturday, and that no Cana-
dian vessel had arrived. In the afternoon the rate of in-
surance on the North Briton consequently advanced to 15
'2O guineas per cent.

SOME RECENT ARRIVALS AT THE ZOOLOGICAL
GARDENS.—At the time of Sir George Grey's departure
from the Cape to enter upon his duties as governor of New
Zealand, he had collected for despatch to this country a fine
collection of animals, which included a male and two females
of the South African ostrich, some fine cranes, and also some
rare antelopes. All these animals are now under the care of
Mr. Bartlett at the Zoological Gardens, and enrich the gene-
ral collection: To the naturalist, the arrival of the South
African ostriches is opportune, as means will now be afforded
of comparing them with a fine p;, it already in the collection
from N orth Africa, and of settling the long-disputed question
whether these birds are identical with, or distinct from each
other. Sir George Grey's removal from South Africa to New
Zealand is not merely an event of political interest. Scien-
tific men will remember the splendid contributions to our
collection of animals which we owe to Sir George's love of
natural history and to the facilities at his command for pro-
curing choice animals at the hands of the natives. For a
number of years Sir George Grey has been a constant con-
tributor to the Zoological Society of London, and hardly a
month passed, when he was at the Cape, without a consign
meat reaching the gardens. From a scientific point of view,
therefore, his translation may be viewed with regret ; as that
colony does not open up the same field for enriching our
r
general stock of natural history specimens. It will be in
birds, most probably, that our collection will be most largely
recruited from that quarter. New Zealand does not furnish
more than two or three classes of indigenous quadrupeds.
By an odd sort of caprice the specimens found in the colony
are the seal, the bat, and the mouse. Of birds, however,
there is an abundance. It is supposed that some of the
larger specimens of the apteryx, or " wingless bird," still
exist, The fossils of this bird have been described by Pro-
fessor Owen as the dinornis, of which several specimens are
well known, Somo of these attain the enormous height of
IQ feet,
