HOARDERS or Sii.vaa.—The wife of one of the
churchwardens of Monmouth. was lately thrown into
Consternation, on being informed that the silver in
general citculation was mostly of a +minus nature;
and would not be taken at the Mint in exchange for
the new coin : the fear of A great loss induced her tes
communicate a secret she had long kept, that by
'wring and boarding of shillings she had accumulated'
to the amount of £3OO. A shopkeeper and neigh-
bour of the former found also, upon the like reports,
upwards of seloo in silver, although both had 'lre-
quently been unwilling to accommi:date their custo-
mers with change, expressing. in loud terms, their
wonder what was gone with all the silver, and their ap-
prehensions that, like the gold, it 'would never return
again. Theta are instances of servants also, W.!
enable to get gold, and fearful of keeping the hankies'
notch have got all their little savings tat silver.
DUND64 JULY 21—A melancholy example of the
pernicious consequences at smuggling, as well as of
the cruelties with which the revenue lases are 'time-
times enforced, occurred in the neighbourhood of
Dundee, on the mbrning of Saturday last. It also
illustrates the severe pressure of she times, by which
too many have been driven to shifts which in their
better days they despised. William Dick, the tenant
of a small farm in the parish of Illairgowrie, having
fallen into arrear with his rent, had resorted •to the
wretched Mune of illicit distillation to enable him to
meet his landlord's demands.. He had prepared two
bolls of an*, and converted them into whisky ;
one half of which be had disposed of at Blair-
gowrie, and attempted to bring the other to Dun-
dee, in company with two of his more prac-
tised acquaintances, emplbyed its the same traffic,
A party of Custom-hoese boatmen went nut on the
Cupar road, to the number of nine, armed with
bludgeons, cutlasses, and loaded pistols, to intercept
them. Four of them took their station at the gate.
leading to Logic farm. and the other five concealed,
themselves inside the southmost gate of Logic grounds,
about 200 yards nearer to Dundee About three
o'clock in the morning, the smugglers, mounted on
horseback, approached the gate of Logic farm ; the
four boatmen crossed the road to seize the whiskey r
but the smugglers. suspecting their intention, gave
their horses the rein. and proceeded towards Dundee
at full speed. The party posted nearer Dundee,
warned by the noise of the horses' feet, and the haloo-
ing of their companions, prepared to intercept them.
The smugglers, on discovering the second party,
seamed inclined to retrace their steps; but seeing
the others also tspproactu oimilwing4Anartied in .on

solution of proceeding to Dundee- at all hazards.—
