FALMOUTH, AUG. 7 —Some of the electors of
this borough having +Wilt Dr. Bowring an invitation to dice
with them, he arrived this morning, accompanied by his
bother, and was warmly welcomed. The dinner was
given at the Royal Hotel this ev..nin,g, a aim!' about
seven•y electors of Penryn and Falmouth attended. Oil
Dr. aiwring's health bci ig given by the Chairman, James
Cornish, Esq , the D ;mar returned thanks in an eloquent
speech, expressive 'it' his determination to effect every pos-
sible economy and retrenchment, and to support the in
terests of the borough, in .he event of his being returned
at the next election.

ANECDOTE OF SMUGGLING.—Another device
was planned by a Jew, nicknamed Huffy, who was, and possibly
is still, a very active agent in all these illicit transactions. Some
hundreds of tubs were prepared at Boulogne, their shape and
colour being altered amid aguised by a coating of Paris plaster,
studded here and there with gravel, shells, or sea-weed, so that
they resembled lumps of chalk, such as are found under cliffs
upon the coast of Kent. A cargo of spirits, in tubs of this
description, was carried across to Dover during the night, and
dropped upon the sands above low-water mark, so as to be dry
when the tide receded. 7he boat then put off to sea and dis-
appeared; and soon after day-break .me of the smugglers, at-
tired in a carter's gaberdine, with along whip h a shoulder,
drove carelessly past the blockade sentinel, proceeded down across
the sands, and leisurely loaded his tart with what seemed lumps
of chalk, intended for burning into lime; he then laid a
few pieces of real chalk over he top, drove again past
the. sentinel into the fields, where the cart was unloaded in a
twinkling, and the operation repeated, till every cask had been
conveyed qi a place of safety. As no boat appeared in this
affair, and but 0.,e person attended the cart, there was nothing
in the least likely to attract attention, or to exci e the suspicion
of the sentinel. The scheme accordingly succeo.led so well,
that, it might have escaped detection altogether, had not the
secret been entrusted to a woman One of the Dover smugglers,
in the exultation of success, cOntitled their stratagem to his
sweetheart, and the_ damsel in turn betrayed it to a more fa-
voured lover, who happened to be an officer in the Coast Block-
ade Service. This, of cour-e, led to a discovery and seizure of
the next cargo, and two of the plassered tutis were immediately
sent along the whole line of blockade, to put the offu,Qrs and
sentinels npon their guard against any repetWoß of the- 'tram-
