In the list of the minority published in the
Evening Edition of The. Sun, who voted for the production
of a correspondence between Earl De Grey and the Dublin
Protestant Operative Association, the name of Mr. J. S. Tre-
lawny was accidentally omitted, but it appeared in the
Morning Edition.
A curious fraud occurred in the City in the course
of Wednesday afternoon. A poor countryman called at an
eminent banking-house with a 201. note, desiring to pay in
101. on account of a provincial bank, of which this house was
the agent, and to re2eive the other 101. in sovereigns. As he
was a stranger, the clerk to whom he applied refused to take
the note and give him the required change, and directed him to
get it changed at the Bank of England. The countryman
proceeded there accordingly, and just as he was about to
enter was met by a person who told him he need not trouble
himself to go any further, as he could give him change at
once. The countryman gave him his note, and receiving
what he thought to be twenty sovereigns, returned to the
banking-house to pay in the ten. His consternation was
great, when he found that the coins he had received were
only worthless medals.
ROYAL ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—On Tuesday the
members of this Society met numerously at their mansion in
Hanover-square. Professor Owen, F.R.S., in the chair. It
was announced, amid applause, that, since Sunday last,
another valuable accession to the Society's menagerie, in the
Regent's-park, had taken place in the shape of a new male
giraffe, the foal of one of those which, in 1837, was brought
over from the forests of Darfur, in the interior of Northern
Africa, upwards of 6 feet high, the dam being about 17 feet.
Mr. Gould presented three new specimens of kangaroo, and
Mr. Frazer three new species of birds, hitherto unknown in
this country. A new species of stryx, or " snowy owl," was
acknowledged from Captain Farrer ; and the reading of a
paper by Mr. Yarrell, on a remarkable shoal of a new species
of fish caught at Lyme Regis, and which had added to the
handicraft of the fishermen, concluded the proceedings of the
evening.
The enthusiasm displayed at Covent-garden on
Wednesday evening must have shown Mr. O'Connell that
the heart of the English people is in the right place—that
they are ever ready to fling themselves into the breach when
injustice is perpetrated—and that they will not stand tamely
by, and allow him to be made a sacrifice for the gratification
of the Orange faction. In Ireland, the best effects may be ex-
pected from so enthusiastic a reception having been given to the
man who, whatever may be his faults, has conferred inesti-
mable benefits upon his country, and who, as the champion
of Irish rights, continues to hold the foremost place in the
estimation of his countrymen. Coercion has been attempted
in Ireland, with what success is known to all. Pity that our
rulers, following the wise example of the late Government,
will not again try the experiment of kindness. Much do we
fear, however, that nothing is to be hoped for from the men
to whom the destinies of Ireland are for the present unfor-
tlllUttelY committed,—Glasgow sirgus.
