The Lancasler Gazelle says :—" We were misin-
formed in the account we gave last week of several per-
sons having been taken up, as being concerned in the
late murder and robbery at Pendleton. We have heard,
however, from the best authority, that a transport, of
the name of Wilik7n Salmon, on his way with others
to the hulks last week, int4rmed Sutelifli!, (the person
who had the care of them) that the Asherofts wanted
him to assist them in the robbery at Pendleton; but
when he understood that it was also necessary to com-
mit murder, he would have nothing to do with them.

TIIE LATE FRAUD AT LIVERPOOL.

The following is an account of the attempt at Liver.
pool to defraud the Revenue, which, though only re.
cently discovered, has been several months in opera.
tiun.

In April last, a person named S----, who is now
we understand in Ireland, purchased a common river
flat at Liverpool, and having altered her so as to obtain
a British register, and a licence for a sliding bowsprit,
rigged her in some degree like a sloop, preserving how-
ever as much as possible the external appearance of a
flat. He then entered her out for Havre de Grace, and
shipped a quantity of mahogany in bond. She cleared
out, and sailed round the Rock, where the bowsprit was
thrown overboard, the sails altered, then returned by
the same night's tide, passed the town of Liverpool, and
proceeded to Runcorn, to the Duke's Canal, where the
wood was landed as duty paid, and forwarded to Lon-
don, to the address of a foreign broker. The vessel was
then dismantled, and laid up as a hulk, until the voy-
age to Havre might be supposed to be compleated. She
was then rigged as before, entered outwards for Ham-
burg, and took in a cargo of pimento, balsam of capivi,
gum copal, tapioca, and rose-wood. With these goods
she sailed round the Rock again, and returned the same
night to Runcorn, where the goods were landed as be-
fore and forwarded to London.

To shew the ingenuity of the actors in this conspi-
racy, a foreign merchant went from London, taking
most satisfactory references from houses in the City,
whose characters are above suspicion, to Messrs. Drink-
water and Byers, most respectable brokers. This person
employed them to purchase the goods, and enter them
at the Custom House, as is usual, in their own names.
whereby innocent parties have incurred the penalties of
the bonds for due exportation. Some suspicion arose in
t`►e mind of the Duke of Bridgewater's agent at Run.
corn, from the vessel being found on the morning of the
arrival of the second cargo with a full freight, but nei.
ther master nor any person on board. One of the clerks.
however, received letters directing them to be forwarded
to London.

When the searchers at Liverpool heard a rumour of
the business, they proceeded to Runcorn and seized Litt
vessel, which was in a state of preparation for another
voyage, as instructions had been given to make her ca.
pable of carrying lOU tons, still preserving her exterior
appearance, which wound have enabled the parties to
smuggle a cargo of India goods.; and Messrs: Drink.
water and Syers had actually received instructions to
inquire the price of black pepper anti turmeric.
One of the Liverpool searchers then proccOdod to
town, and with the assistance of ett,.! of his trethren
here, aided by the important infinuatiw: given by Mr.
Syers, who came to town for the parpose of i(lentifring
the goods, they have not only regained the whole of the
second cargo (with the exe..,ption of a few bags of pi.
mento, which had been retailed), but a large quantity of
the mahogany that arrived in last.
Several persons both in London and in Liverpool are
implicated in this nefarious transaction ; and it is at
least singular that souse of them stand high in the rank
of the Itetimmers and orators of the day. We abstain,
however, from publishing their names ; run from any
delicacy to them, out because we do not wish the Pub.-
'tic to prejudge u case likely to come before a Jury.
