WISsLow. THE FoRGER.-LOndon,
February Iy.-Mrs. Winslow, wife OF
the Boston torger, has arrived and is
at Charing- Cross Hotel, but leaves
there for other lodgings. Her son and
sister, who accompanied her, have
only about 500, and seem i'll great
trouble. Colonel Cheesebro is en-
deavoring TO induce them TO return to
America. The matter is difficult to
manage, as the American Legation
has no funds applicable to such pur-
pose. Winslow bears up very well.
He has written 10 the Legation saying
he thinks it will be to the interest Of
all interested in his case to be in Bos-
ton as soon as possible, and Offering,
as an American officer, to take charge
of him. He viii soon be here, and As
himself and family are anxious to re-
turn, if the Legation will withdraw
extradition proceedings he will return
with the officer of his own accord to
the United States to stand trial. The
proposition cannot be acted on, rs the
law requires a certain routine. The
United States Consul at Rotterdam
has recovered from Mrs. Winslow
about 5000 III cash and $4,000 i'll
United States bonds. Mrs. WinSiow
saws she does not know how her huS-
band obtained this money, and sup
poses that it is hers. Colonel Cheese
bro says she seems to be honest i'll her
representation and does not appear to
know anything about the swindling
Operat ions. WinslOw will be exam
ined Wednesday next. The proceed
ings will be merely forma! and will
occupy only few minutes. Though
