LEA, PLINT (his son-in-law), and four or five
other wienersee. in the care of The King v. The
Hon. Percy Jocelyn, Bishop of Clogher, and
silorfrley, the soldier, who had received subp coos
to attend the Old Bailey Session, were on Wednes.
d•iy examined at the office of Mr. MAULR, Solici-
tor to the Treasury. Mr. MAULE, during the ex-
amination, intimated, that it would be necessary to
send all the witnesses to Ireland, after tlw coottm-
pl4ted trial was over ut the Old Bailey, which trial
cannot take place; the psrtiea having fled, and not
answering their call, they will forfeit their recogni-
ranee*, as will their soretie•-7001. the amount of
the fear buil fur the Bishop and soldier; the two
first 2501. each, sod the latter 100/. each.

The smugglers have adopted an ingenious me-
thod of landing contraband spirits. It consists in
their having small casks or tubs entirely covered
over with plaster of Paris, in which, at indiscrimi-
Hoe intervalo.• pieces of sea-weed are fastened.
These are tilled, sod placed along the chalky cliffs
about Dover, and, from their close resemblance to
the pieces that full, are not easily disgovered. Many
person* are permitted to setid carts Tor the convey-
ance of chalk to ley on the land, sod from the fre-
quent ma: of these vehicles suspicion was excited of
their having some other object in view. This led
to a vigilant esamioation of the carts. when the de-
ceptsou was discovered, nod some seizures took
plate. Some of the tubs thus ornamented have
beta sent fur the inspection of Government; and so
'suet are their appearance to irregular masses of
chalk, as not easily to be discovered.
On Monthly last Lord Ps twenterom's game-
keeper, at Broadlaada, near Itornsey, procured a
quantity of gunpowder to destroy a hornet's nest,
rod was engaged in laying the trait', when u spark
accidentally fell among she powder ; lie was knock-
ed down by the force of the explosion, and his face
dangerously burnt and shattered. He now lies in
a very dangerous state.
At Campden, Gloucestershire, the bakers are
selling five pounds of bread for four-pence. On
hearing of the circumstauce, a baker residing in
the neighbourhood took • cart-load of loaves to the
aborre place, weighing about 17Ibs. each, which he
sold for one shilling, being determined not to be
undersold by his brethren of the town.
No TRICKS swot' TRAVILLIZR9.—A few days
since. a respectable innkeeper of this city met tao
proprietors of step-coaches, whom, after the usual
salutations had passed, he questioned as to the na-
ture of their visit. They said they had it in con-
templation to advance the price of travelling by
coach,. and for that purpose were shoot to consult
the partners in their concern. To this the inn-
keeper, oho is also a proprietor of stage-coaches.
arid a man well.known for his liberality, and for his
exertions io endeavouring to put down monopoly,
replied to the following effect :—" No, no, the
prices should be dropped one half. H'e have had
our turn ; it is now nothing but fair that the public
should have theirs." How thankful should we be
to those who oppose the measures of arbitrary
power !—(Alfred Exeter Paper.)
