A soldier by the name of Barber, of the 28th regiment, now at Gosport, under orders for the Mediterranean, is said to have become possessed of 130,000l. by the decease of a gentleman in the West Indies, who had realized property amounting to 400,000l. which is directed to be divided among three persons, who are thus unexpectedly advanced from a state of indigence to the means of passing the remainder of their days in affluence and splendour. The other two fortunate individuals are Barber's brother and his grandfather, who are natives of Frome, in Somersetshire.—Lon. pap.
