Srounozruo.—The cutter Midas, which was cap-
tured lately by the SWAN cutter, with a valuable
cargo and 21 men, is supposed to belong to Hastings.
On the 6th instant, the Lord Nelson cutter was cap-
tured off Selsea, with part of her cargo and four men.
During the chase, a man on board the smuggler was
severely wounded in the lower jaw by a musket-shot,
fired by her pursuer. On the following night, about
200 tubs were seized near Worthing, by the Preven-
tive Water.guard, assisted by a Riding Officer. The
same evening, two other seizures were made by the
Preventive Guard, the one at Pagham, of 23 tubs,
and the other at Selsea Bill, comprising a consider-
able quantity of various contraband goods, a great
part of which was afterwards rescued by a party
who used the seizing Officers very roughly. The
Chance, of Brighton, arid the Speedwell, of Selsea,
together with their crews, have been captured by the

Muni:in.—Thursday week two boys were playing
in the street of Tipperary, the elder, son of the widow
Dwyer, about fourteen years old, the younger, only
son of Mr. Patrick Drawly, a remarkably tine lad,
of about twelve; after some altercation, the younger
boy snatched a turnip which the other was in the act
or peeling, when he, in a moment of passionate re-
venge, plunged a shoemaker's cutting knife into the
heart of his little innocent rlayfellow. He has only
strength sufficient to run to his father's house,
a distance of about twenty yards, when lie called
out to his wretched parent, who opened the door to
admit him, unconscious of his situation, " Oh, mo-
ther, he has killed me!" and instantly expired. Young
Dwyer has been lodged in Tipperary Jail.
