WINDFALL.—A correspondent at Woolwich, on
whom we can rely, gives us the following :—A private
soldier of the name of Waites. now serving in the
Military Train at Woolwich, has, within the last few'
days, received the' handsome present of £l'o,ooo from's'
brother in Australia, who emigrated some years ago N
very poor working may, but is now possessed of
£150,000. He has sent £20,000 home te be equally
divided between two brothers, one of whom, is the
above-named soldier.—John o' Groat ioternal.
EXTRAORDINARY FORGERY.—Great excitement has
been caused among the natives of various parts of Bengal,
in consequence of a wealthy baboo having been sentence&
by Chief Justice Peacock to transportation for fotutielt
years, for forging a will. The case is a remarkable one.
It appears that Bebop Sibkissen Singh forged a will its
order that he might come into his brother's property;
that the said brother was treated during his last illness-
in a most cruel manner; and that another native and an'
European surgeon (a Mr. Crawford) were accomplices
in the forgery. These two latter persons have been'
sentenced to seven years' transportation.
THE WIFE'S REVENGE.—It may be in the memory'
of our readers that a murder was committed in ?era
about eight months ago by a Bulgarian and a Greek,
whose victim was also a Greek. Fortunately in this
instance the guilty parties fell into the hands of justices
and, after a tedious judicial process at the Zaptieh, they
were, about a month ago, finally condemned and sen-
tenced to death—unless (as Mussulman law permito

" blood money," in which case the punishment would:

offered, insisting on nothing short of the lives

When told that owing to the difficulty of finding an
executioner the sentence could not be carried out, and
that she might as well therefore make a virtue of

entirely deprecate pressure of this kind being
thus unfairly imposed on any particular class of
her Majesty's subjects. What would Lords Elcho
and Grosvenor think or say if I,
a first-class
haberdasher, were to give notice of a public
meeting for the purpose of inviting the nobility and
gentry of London to abandon all Saturday drives'
dinner parties, and routs, in order that their cooks
and footmen might be massed into and manoeuvred as
rifle corps, while their grooms and coachmen, mounted
on their saddle and carriage horses, protected their flanks
with a Volunteer cavalry such as no other capital city
in the world could turn out ? How aptly would Lord
Elcho's eloquent and touching words, ' that it would be
of the utmost importance to the moral and physical well-
being of the young men engaged in these menial occu-
pations that they should be enabled to avail themselves
of opportunities of healthy exercise alike invigorating to
mind arid body,' apply to these over-fed men and
horses ! What an astonishing giantry Belgravia and
St. James's alone could contribute, and that at a far less

sacrifice to individuals than what is now claimed from us-

Let the noble lords who are asking so much of the shop-
keeping class tell us why a little more should not be
required from themselves, and I have no doubt, if their
answer be satisfactory, that their projected public meeting
will have a great success. I trust to your impartiality to
afford to these brief observations of mine the same ad-
vantages of type and position which you have conceded
to the letters of Lords Elcho and Grosvenor."
