CAPTURE OF SMUGGLERS IN THE BRISTOL CHAN
NEL.—Mr. Davis, an active revenue officer at Bristol, suc-
ceeded on Ihurday in seizing two vessels, the Wave, of
Abertham, and ae Henri, a French vessel belonging to
Cherbourg, together with several tons weight of smuggled
tobacco. Some time since Mr. Davis seized some to•
bacco, which he afterwards was led to believe had been
run in the Wave, and landed at Cook's coal-yard, in the
Hotwell-road. He consequently went down the Bristol
Channel in his boat on Wednesday, and having kept a look-
out, he, at about three o'clock on Thursday morning, saw
the Wave in Limpett-bay. He ran alongside of her and
boarded her, and finding tobacco on board, seized her in
the Queen's name and placed her in charge of some of his
own crew. He then extended his sail down the Channel,
and on the inside of the Naas Sands, at about a quarter of a
league from the shore, he saw a vessel called the Henri, of
Cherbourg, making apparently for the Bristol river. The
circumstance of her being inside of the Bands—a course sel-
dom taken, being of difficult navigation—led him to believe
that all was not right, and as upon his nearing her some of
her crew took to their boat and made off, his suspicions were
increased. On boarding her he found several bales of to-
bacco in the hold, and on deck stone sinkers already slung
for the purpose of sinking them. He seized the vessel and
her crew, and afterwards caused Use apprehension of the par-
ties belonging to the coal-yard. They were all taken before
the Bristol' magistrates yesterday, and remanded for further
examination.

LEICESTER TRADE.—Trade continues on the whole
in a very satisfactory state, employment being general; and
if the higher trice of woollens and cottons does not sfect the
orders, it is fully expected that during the autumn a good
business will be done.—Nottingham Journal.
NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace--There is a mode-
rate demand for plain goods this week ; but for fancy kinds
the trade is very limited, and the probability is,•that it will
remain so for the next month or six weeks, when a change
of fashion may take place. Hosiery. —There is again a tole-
rable demand for gloves, and the sale for " cut-ups" remains
fully as good as it has been during the summer season. We
expect for the next month to have but a small business, as
the home trade is over, and the trade for America will not
set in until October; even then it is a question whether they
will give the extra price required in consequence of the ad-
Vance of yarns, to which country we are at this time paying
double the amount for this staple that we were about a year
ago. Nottingham Journal.

CONVICTION FOR MURDER.—At the Hereford
assizes, on Tuesday last, Maurice Murphy and Patrick Sulli-
van, two men of repulsive appearance, were charged with
the wilful murder of Jane Lewis, at St. Wollas, Newport.
The principal evidence against the prisoners was a volun
tary statement made by the prisoner Murphy, who said the
reason why they killed the old woman was that they.thought
she had some money. Ile then said Sullivan hit her on the
head with a hammer—then with a stone. Sullivan then re-
peated his blows. They then dragged her into the wood and
searched her pockets, and found she bad no money. Sulli-
van then took-her shawl WI her and cursed her, and gave
her another kick on the head. After they left her they were
afraid they had•not killed her quite. He said he had tcld
the priest all about it. The prisoners were round guilty,
and sentenced to death.
IMPORTATION OF TURTLE.—`,The steam-ship Ajax,
arrived in this river from Cork, has brought 19 head of
turtle, as part of a large general cargo from Ireland. This
is the first importation to our knowledge of turtle by way of
Ireland, being, as maybe supposed, first brought from
