The swindling Of an English Lord In New York
has been noticed The following are the parsicu-
lars from the New York Times:
with the last arrival at this pert from Europc.
there came gentleman whose friends called him
my Lord aud who deported himself like an
English nobleman He is, indeed, . peer OF the
Qaeen's realm, 1t is said. He put npr at tile
ST. Nicholas Hotel. The distinguished stranger
made no secret of his intimacy with Mr.. Dallas,
and even went so far al TO say that our Minister
at the Court Of st. James was blasted clever; .
the latter had actually promised, at their last
interview, to send him dispatch by the Subms, j,
rine Telegraph, Immediately after the QueeB's
message to the President should be transmitted,
ana inform him Of the preciae state ofthe EDgIiah
pnse with regard to the success of the great enter
prise Those who heard his Lordship talk ing thus
listened with great deal of deference none OF
them said aught that in the remotest degree ap-
peared to indicate that their opinion OF him
otherwise than exalted; not by the most delicate
hint or attenuated inucndo was any suggestion
into the idea that the Englisbman was considered
"snob." His Lordship thought this very
great country, and he WAS bothered to nnd phrases
in bis yernacuIar sufficiently euiogistic Of its
enterprisihg people. Sure enough at midnight
last Thursday night, telegraphic dispatch ad
dressed TO his Lordship received. lie who
brought it came in hot haste and was anxious to
see Lord - Immediately. His Lordship had re-
tired to his room, and thither the messenger was
cent to deliver the dispatch In person. Whether
his Lordship was hob nobbing" with social
friends, or "nid-noddipg' with the God of Sleep,
at this precise joncture, has no: transpired Ger
tain it is, however, that he opened his door with
alacrity, aud his mouth and eyes with oyerjoyed
surpri:e, when he was Informed that the Trans
atlantic Submarine Electric Telegraph dispatch
from the American Minister-tbe second telegram
over the wires-had arrived, aud was there opened
as soon as his Lordship had paid to the Mercury
OF the Telegraph Company, who WIS uuder his nose
waiting to be rewarded, and extended to him ibis
Lordship) the palm, the triflDg sum of $3.50 -
Need we say that the transported Lord paid the
price of the transportation Of his dispatch imme-
diatelys Need We say that he retired Into his
room and shut himself up to the enjoyment of his
treasure? Need We say that he did not make his
appearance in puolic until late hour the mex {
day? 1t is necessary to state that when he did
appear be was overboiliog with indignation at the
author of the vile imposition? 1t is necessary 10
say that like true John Bull, he prefers English
wooden walls" and everything else Engli III, 10
any american hoax!" Is it necessary to .ay an ~
thing more? .e s..-.r.-- f--- 4s.s. - &
