SMUGGLING IN HIGH LIFE.
Get money, money still


And then let virtue follow, if she will. -PopE
On Saturday, when Mr. Canning arrived in
the hafbor, the custom house officers went on
board OF the packet 10 inspect The luggage, and
they observed humber OF packages which did
not bear the mark that exempted them from the
scrutiny Of the revenue servants, and one Of
them was opened, which was found to contain
French silks. The valet declared that the
package was neither the property of his master
nor himself, nor had it come there with his
knowledge consent. The declaration APP
peared unsatisfactory, as the vessel was engag-
ed Tor the exclusive use OF Mr. Canning and
suite, and it was presumed, that whatever
on board must be their property, or AT least
come there with their knowledge, particularly
as the packages were made to match, and were
intermixed with the dispatch bags and luggage
belonging to the right honorable secretary
The valet was then desired TO selec, VIVA, pack
ages he did avow the property Of Mr., Can
ming, or his suite, and, after having done so,
there remained five or six unclaimed; these on
being examined, were found 10 contain French
silks, amounting, in all, in value 10 about SIX
hundred pounds. AS may easily be supposed,
the right honorable gentleman fell rather awk
wardly on the occasion. The business was,
however, kept close for short time, but it was
deer1ed so serious an imputation, that the lord
Warden and Mr.. Canning came 10 town, and a
| strict investigation was set on foot. The mas
ter Of the vessel was al first implicated, but he
has cleared himself so satisfactorily, as 10 be
acquitted of any participation in the ingenious
| trick; and it appears that person in Dover had
managed the affair with correspondent on The
| other side of the water, who got the packages
clandestnely placed amongst the luggage,
where they were found, trusting to the proba-
bility that Mr. Canning would, by the custom
house officers, never be suspected of SNUG
| Cling, or, if he were, that he would be permit
ted to pass with impunity. There is little
doubt, says the Morning Post, that there must
have been at least one on board who knew Of
the transaction, and who was to have managed
the affair on this side of the water

phant wherever they cOulC Int her. Just
as the animal was leaving the Bridge, Fen
-ner EdJy fired the gun with seven bullets,
and as she was falling Inman discharged
his gun with two bullets. Fenner then
threw his gun into the ioom, seized the
gun which had not been discharged, be-
ing afraid the dog might attack him, and
they made thsir escape and soon after min.
gled with the persons collected on the
bridge where their accessories were also
assembled. When the people dispersed
the gun was raked out Of the foom, the
three guns deposited at the tan yard, and
the parties each went, home. After hear
ing these facts and confession, the Court
ordered the parties Individually TO recog.
niZe in the sum of five hundred dollars
with surcties for the same amount each;
the law which makes the killing beast
an offence, furnishing the same with a fine
not exceeding 800 and two months i'm
prlsonment, and also subjecting the party
convicted to pay to the owner treble da-
images to be recovered in an action Of tres
pass. This was doubtless intended TO ap.
ply TO ordinary animals, horses kline, &c.
and the law could not have anticipated the
shooting an elephant. 60.
In the whole course OF this arduous in
ycstigutlon, which occupied moro than a
day, no direct motive was shown that
could have induced the act. Vt appears
TO have been done thoughtlessly in pure
love Of mischief, and just for the pleasure
OF killing an elephant. Unfortunately the
parties are not men Of much substance,
though it is believed some part of the va
lue of the noble animal they have destroy
cd may be obtained from them eventually.
