FORGERY IN HOLL AND.—A letter from the
Hague, of the 6th instant, states :—" A case of forgery,
recently discovered here, has produced a great sensation.
A manufacturer of Leyden, who had fallen into difficulties
some time before the accession of the present King, and
had obtained his Majesty's confidence while Prince of
Orange. had received various sums of money from him ;
and his Royal benefactor had gone so far as to put his
name to some bills, which the manufacturer readily got
cashed. Taking advantage of this, he forged the Prince's
name on several other bills, circulated them, and obtained
100,000 florins from one capitalist alone at Amsterdam.
The man was arrested not long ago at Rotterdam, and is
to be tried for the offence. He has endeavoured to screen
himself by threatening to disclose some secrets concerning
the present King, of which he boasts that he is in posses-
sion. His Majesty is determined that justice shall pursue
its course with :his individual."
SKELETON OF JONATHAN WILD.—Mr. Fow-
ler, surgeon, of Sheet-street, Windsor, has now in his pos-
session the undoubted skeleton of this notorious thief and
celebrated thief-taker. The skeleton, which is in an oaken
case, where there is no doubt it has been for upwards of a
century, is five feet six inches and a half high ; and it is
supposed by several medical men and anatomists who had
seen it, that Wild, during his lifetime, must have been five
feet eight to nine inches in height. Upon the coffin-
plate, composed of sheet-iron, which is now nailed to the
oaken case, there is the following inscription, clearly
legible, punched in, in the usual manner adopted then
and since by the undertakers:—" Mr. Jonathan Wild,
died May 24, 1725, in ye 42d year of his age."
It may be observed that Wild was executel at Ty.
burn on this day. With the trifling exception of
the loss of a portion of the forefinger of the right hand,
the left thumb, and a few teeth (which have fdlen out,
ttrere are three in the head now, quite sound) the skeleton
is in every respect perfect. The skeleton can be traced
back to the possession of a surgeon named Brand, who, at
the period of the execution of Wild, was,:a particular friend
of the then ordinary of Newgate. A medical practitioner
at Windsor, Dr. Thomas, who died about 35 years ago,
upwards of 74 years of age, finished his early studies under
this Mr. Brand, who gave him the skeleton and oaken
case, with the coffin plate in the precise state they are
now in. When Dr. Thomas died, Mr. Reodall, a rela-
tive, came into possession both of his practice and the
skeleton ; and upon Mr. Rendall retiring from business
some years ago, be was succeeded by Mr. Fowler, the
present possessor of the skeleton of this notorious cha-
racter. _ _ .

MEHEMET ALI.—A medal of the Pacha of
Egypt, in silver and bronze, is about to be brought out un-
der the patronage of Sir M. Montefiore, with others of the
Jewish persuasion, and most of the leading merchants in
the city connected with the Egyptian trade, in order to
commemorate his protection of commerce, patronage of
the arts, and religious toleration. The face and bust of
the medal is being taken by Mr. A. J. Stodhart, from a
painting in the possession of Sir Moses Montefiore, just
brought over from Egypt, where it was done expressly for
him by the orders of the Pacha. The portrait will repre-
sent him as wearing the tabouche, after throwing off the
turban, and the reverse of the medal will contain an alle-
gorical device, representing some of the most interesting
events in hi; life. It is not generally known that some
time since Lord Brougham made the Pacha of Egypt a
present f 100 volumes of English scientific books, which
the latte • had immediately translated into Arabic for dill-
tributim and use in the schools of Egypt. A copy of
each of hese works was recently sent over by the Pacha
as a pr sent to M. Galloway, father of the Bey of that
name, ss ho recently died in his service. Just prior to the
late interference of the Allied Powers, he was erecting an
observatory on the banks of the Nile, which was to be
placed under the control of the Royal Society of London.
CIMIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—As the Regula-
tor coach, from Falmouth to Exeter, about a fortnight
since, vas changing horses at Crockernwell, whilst the
horsekeeper was engaged in taking out those which had
gone the stage from Okchampton, owing to some sudden
the fresh horses, which had been led out and were
impulse,
standing ready tackled, with their cloths on, suddenly
started off without the coach, running the whole way to
Exeter, about eleven miles. What is very singular, the
animals kept together the entire distance, as if they had
been yoked to the coach, under a coachman's guidance.
On their arrival at the Exeter gate the turnpike man
stared not a little, as did many others on the road, to see
the horses without their burden, and, surmising some ac-
cident, of course took charge of them. The horsekeeper
in his fright followed, but was soon distanced, arriving,
however, only half an hour after the horses. It is remark-
able the animals kept their accustomed time, and that only
one of them lost its cloth on the way. The coach went
on with the other horses---West Briton.
