INGENIOUS SMUGGLING.—An ingenious rogue
of smuggling tobacco and cigars from Holland has bech
lately discovered, which is, perhaps, without parallel ie
the history of the contraband trade.
A ship, called the
Lord Strangford, • now lying alongside Brewer's Quay'
was entered at',he Custom-house in the early part of the
week with a cargo of timber for Rotterdam. The logs
were about to be landed, when an accident induced tho
captain to examine them, and it was found that the logs ej
wood were hollow, and were filled up with tobacco arin
cigars, a plug being inserted at each end of the same
cilour as the wood. One of the logs having become
warped by the weather, the plug fell out. and discovered
the fraud intended on the revenue. Oa examining the re-
mainder of the timber, it was found that a large hole,
about six inches in diameter, had been scooped out in each,
and filled with cigars and tobacco. The captain immedi-
ately gave information to the Customs, and the coLtrabaad
cargo was seized and I tnded on Saturday. The quantity-
of tobacco and cigars exceeds five tons, and the value is
upwares of 3,0001.

A TTEMPTRD MURDER IN GREENWICH Hos-
PITA L.—On Thursday last, about nine o'clock in the

wich Hospital, a man about seventy-six yea, sof age,Bt
present in the infirmary, was observed by another pen-
sioner, named Thomas Adams, a boatswain, and in corn
mand of him, to use harsh language to one of his mates, for
which Adams reprimanded him. Henry made no imme-
diate reply, but at noon, when the dinners for the ward
patients wine brought in, and he, as is the custom, was de-.
sired to draw lots for the plates, he refused, and, addressing
himself to the boatswain, said, " I'll soon draw p.n." and
almost immediately flu igei a knife into the unfortunate
man's back. Adams was immediately conveyed to the sur-
gery, when it was found that there was a wound three
inches in depth through the back, just above the regi, n
the liver, but, fortunately without touching any vita: Fart.
Henry was immediately taken into cu..tody, and conveyed
to the st:.tion house, and on Ffidk an examination to,
place before the Magistr•itts • but, o, lug to the report of
the surgeon that. the wounded man was unable to atteno,
it was adjourned. Up to the present moment not the
~,lightest hope was entertained of his recovery, from his ad-
