SMUGGLI.VG.-.V UNDER.

In noticing in our last the lamentably unlawful oi-
currenee at Herne Bay, we stated such circumstances
as had than conic to our knowledge, expressing at
the same time, a hope that the event would nut prove
f ital to the officer (sir. Snow) who had been wounded.
In that expectation we regret to add, we have bees
disappointed, the nnfortunate young man, after the
ball in the shoulder had been extracted under the
armpit. breathed his last on Friday morning, the
27th ult. 11. had preyi,usly received the sacrament,
and deposed to the circomstittec3 of his death before
tieorg,e May. Esq. one of the M.%iattaies of this coma-
ty, tsho tinted him fur the pureose ; and continued
sensible and tlevu•:t till the last moment. His remains
were yesterd y (Monday. 31:h ult.) interred in Hestia
l'lturch-yard t6th the lotion; s due to his rank, the
body Ite'vtg preeeded by the hand of the 4th Light
Dra►[ouns and a liritt!; party of that regitneut, and fol-
lower! by Captain M Illork, eight Lieutenauts, and
many of his bro:l.r o.l'wers of the Severn ; aud it
would be an injustice to his me ry not to record that
his coadect since lie hail been stationed in the vicinity
of the place where he fell, has beet' uniformly correct,
tooted and l.uitiaae ; and in accordance with that scowl
of duty, ts hclt natter such feelings would actuate a
British officer, be met his fate. At seven o'clock on
S.ourdar notating Olt tl.S;it ult.) a Corotie:'s laciest

also transpired, it appears that Mr. Snow, while at-
tempting to !wire the• twat, was shot by some persons
oho were heltiml him, both the bullets baring entered
his hotly in that rtirectiau ; and su close bad the tire-
artni been discharged, that the back of his jacket had
hero bit ctit from the explosion. While lying wounded
on the beach, he had the mortification to see the con-
traband cargo carried off, and he would probably
have been drowtittl by the flowing of the tide, had mat
assistance been afforded him, as soon as the smuggler*
retired. It is satisfactory, however, to add, that food►
information which has been obtained, several of the
persons implicated in the transaction were on Setae-
day night, (24th ult.) taken into cnstotly by two of the
Bow-street Officers, assisted by a detachment of tits
4th Light Dragoons. and conveyed on Sunday (the
29th ult.) through this city to London. The peed.,
apprehended resided at Littlebourn, [loath, suit
Starry• : and it is somewhat remarkable that none of
these persons are :hose who might have l►een supposed,
from their necessities, to have been compelled to re-
sort to this iliegal mode of obtaining a livelihtod, or of
those who are said to be 'e rendered desperate by a
total scant of employment.' _r Afrefisla Ce4' ozetle.)

Ily a letter from Revel of the 11th ult., it appears
that the reziments quartered there bad received orders
to march on the 27th, sad the Guards were directed
