SMUGGLING TOBACCO.—On Wednesday a case
came betbre the county Magistrates at Rochester, in which
all the evidence leading to the conviction of the defendant
arose from his own Confession to:the respective witnesses.
The party charged with the offence was -Mr. Toplis, tobac-
conist, of Bermoudsey-street, Southwark, and the transaction
took place on the Bth of March last, being the conveyance of
seventy-three pounds of contraband leaf tobacco from Chat-
ham to London, by Wrake's waggon; three other parties
.have been. already convicted for the parts they took in the
same transaction, and in this case the defendant was con-
victed in a penalty of 1001. Mr. Potbury appeared for the
Customs; Mr. Butler for the defence; the latter intimated
that. the fmemould not be paid, and therefore the defendant
Vas committed to the House of Correction - at Maid,tone,
With.hard labour, for six months, the Magistrates having no
power to mitigate, as a former conviction was proved against
him. ' •

[AND. - -
THE SPY SYSTEM.
D mix, MAY 8.--Mr. Martley, Q.C,., who prtsided t► the.
investigation at Shinrone, has presented his report to the
Government, detailing the horrible system of getting up
Ribbon prosecutions in that part of the King's County, in
which policemen were implicated. It is said that the Go-
vernment have determined upon the dismissal of three of the
police—one of them a person of superior station in the force
—and also upon the removal to another station of a civil
officer holding an appointment in the district.
The provincial papers, received this morning, contain
further revelations respecting this atrocious spy system.
The Tipperary Vindicator states that a policeman has been.
detected in circulating a vile publication, entitled, " The
Swaddler defeated," the object of which was to inflame the
Roman Catholic populatica. An inquiry was in progress by
the local authorities.

The Limerick Reporter of yesterday contains the . fol-
lowing:—
" MORE PADDY M'KEwram.—Two ruffians of this descrip-
tion, who trade upon the lives and liberties of the incautious
and unwary -have been prowling the country under the cha-
racter of tinkers, with an ass and car, and two children in it ;
and, strange to say, that although in every other respect
under the character of, and representing themselves as,
tinkers, they had no budget or tools belonging to the trade.
Having arrived in the district of O'Brien's-bridge, on Satur-
day last, instead of inquiring if there were any pots, bellows,
or kettles to mend,' their whole inquiries were about the state
of the country and the feelings of the people. The Repealers
of the district, suspecting their character to be assumed, im-
mediately informed the police, who apprehended them. Tho
police, finding-thew could not give a satisfactory account of
themselves, searched the car and their persons, when they
found with them two blunderbusses, two cases of pistols, a
mould for making balls, as also the materials and mode of
making powder. This unique pair of tinkers were accord-
ingly marched off by the police to Killaloe, and having un •
dergone an examination before Captain Martin, J.P., were
fully committed to the county gaol at Ennis. There can be
no doubt but that the ruffians intended, first to seduce some
unwary persons, then to supply them with powder and ball,
and afterwards inform against them."
Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr. John O'Con-
nell, M.P., leaves town this day or to-morrow for London, to
attend the discussion on the Irish Municipal Bill.
The 7'ipperary Vindicator states that six families were last
week evicted for non-title, from Kildangan, in that county,
the property of Lord Norbury. Three of the families were
subsequently allowed to re-enter their holdings.
