AK UNDERSIGNED CoIScrDEScE-A London cor
respondent ofthe Philadelphia American furnishes
the following curious incident: ----=-
/ append notice of what may fairly come I'M
der the title of an undersigned coincidence 1t is
understood that Mrs. Gore the celebrated author

amount of 100000. 1t is from:the Cork Constitu-

"a few days ago we made ausion to the hard
ships of Mrs Cores in connexion with the
bankruptcy Of Sir John Paul. friend to whom
we are indebted for many civiiities, has informed
us OF coincidence which shows us how much
that lady must have been mistaken in her estimate
of man. Of one of her novels (7he Bankers
H.fe). the villisnly of an unprincipled Banker
forms the ground work Wherever he had an OPP
pcrtunity he plundered, disposing of securities
that were not his, and reducing to beggary all
who trusted him. 1t was by anticipation the story
of Sir Paul Co.. yet the novel is dedicated to Sir
John, who is singled out illustrious example
OF probty and good faith, and one in whom the of.
nee OF banker is made honorable! 1t is sad and
strange coincidence yet it is not more sad and
strange than true. We copy the dedication, which
TO Sir John Dean Paul Bart
Dear Sir.-I cannot more strongly mark that
the following pages are intended to exhibit the
feelings of an individual not attack upon a
class, than by placing at the head of my work the
name of one who, ancestrally connected for the
last two centuries with the banking profession in
house of business which has existed in the Same
spot since the year 1885, has added to its dstinc-
ton in his own person, by connecting it with the
literature and fine arts of the kingdom-Believe
me, dear sir, yours faithfully, G. F. GORE
Poor, coniding woman! How different that
dedication would be penned had she to indite it
now"
We yesterday mentioned the scuttlng of the
schooner Eudora in the harbsr of New York, and
the arrest of the negro who it was supposed had
murdered the crew. The II. Y. Express says:
Several articles of property have been fshod up
from her. Among these were the vessels burgee,
pillow, and some bed clothing, all of which
were more less saturated with blood The ne
gro who left the vessel, alone, on Friday evening
last, was arrested while sculling ashore. On his
person were found two pocket books, one contain
ing $50, and the other slS0 The one containing
S5G was in one of his boots. silver watch, pro-
badly worth $50 or $40, was found in one of his
pockets. He had also carpe! bag, in which were
found boys shirt and two pair Of shoes, evident
ly rot his own. He had with him, in the boat,
hatchet and large bowie knife. The hatchet ap
peared as if it had been burned. He first gave
his name as George Williams, and on Saturday
morning, George Wilson, stating that he was tliir-
ty-one years old, and born in Pennsylvania. The
property recovered has been placed in the store of
Mr.. Charles McClennan. of City Island, on the re-
spoDsblity of Justice Bell, who had caused the
negro to be arrested. The owners reside at Deep
river, Conn, and have been informed of the disas
