A $3.50, OOO,O FOrtune.-A Youth fun
JacksOnian one Of the Heirs.

| A SI5O,OOO, 900 FOrtune.-A Youth full
JaeksOnian one Of the Heirs.
From the jackson Wing and Tribune.
A young man of this city received let.
ter few days ago, informing him that he
was one of the heirs TO an English estate
of one hundred and fifty millions. Steps
have been taken to secure it, and the fortu-
nate Jscksonian Is already enjoying an
| elysium of anticipation. Ever since be re-
ceived the news he has been taking his
evening promenades among the stars, and
spending late hours in the aristocratic So
ciety of the moon. When he condescends
to dwell on earth, it is in palace of gold
and precious stones, gorgeously capari-
soned Within-wortby in splendor and
richness of being the abode OF Peri's-
whose companionship he enjoys. The cur
tains of this mag idcent palace were man
ufactured in the moon, the walls hung
with varigated laces and silks from the
same mills; csrpeted with velvet, fashion
ed by the stars of the mik-way; and beds
of down direct from Venus. The walls
and ceilings are frescoec with pearls and
coral, while the beds Of down and silk and
velvet are canopiedwiih diamonds, gemmed
in ruby and garnet. The grounds are dot
ted with fountains-made of fallen meteOrs,
and which play alternately streams of gold
and silver, into basins formed Of CONCEALED
moonbeams. Evergreens direct from old
Eden. Hanging gardens and birds that
sang for Adam and Eve, wave and tower
and sing around the golden palace. But
the dazzled youth will have to return to
earth after awhile, and being single will
want a Peri of flesh and blood to share his
splendid fortune. Therefore we will de-
scribe him for the benefit of our fair friends.
He is hardly twenty-four years of age, Del
icate in stature and form, but Of exquisite
mould. Blonde hair and eyes; complexion
clear as spring morning, and with May
rose bud blushing in each cheek. He sports
a ''love of moustache" after the delicate
shade of the pure Arabian sorrel. Has a
mouth formed for cooiug and kissing, and
is in short handsome and amiable Adonis,
that any Venus might well afford to love.
We, and we alone are authorized to divulge
his name to half dozen Of the prettiest
girls in town, which we will do soon on
occasions. To the rest of the
world his name will remain q secret until
he gets the fortune and remunerates us for
our services.

a person Calling himself G. Losing, of Tun-
bridge Wells, England, and addressed to
Major Geo. Matthews, New York, to be
kept in bond at express Office No. II, Broad
way, New York, until lied for. The trunk
was duly forwarded by the express COM

ship Cuba, which arrived March 20, and
was kept in bond by the company as per
instructions until Saturday last, when a
woman, calling herself Mrs. George Mat
thews, presented an order for its delivery at
the express Office, duly signed "George Mat
thews."
In the meantime the counsel for the

S220, $50. The bonds were found to be
identical in class, amount and number with
those advertised by the Bank of England to
have been obtained by the Bidwell forger-
les, and in the trunk were found cards and
a card plate with the name Geo. Bidwell,
and a variety of memoranda, bills, ETC.,
showing conclusively that it had been ship
ped by and belonged to him. Out of $780,
600 obtained from the Bank of England by
