A trial for smuggling took place yesterday in

ted much attention in our commercial community.
Il appears that few weeks since ten casks OF
succory Ia substitute for coffee) arrived in the
ship Schiller, shipped by the house of A. +. Ley
Lenroth & Co., consigned to Messrs Spilcker &
Albert, a German importing house Of this city;
and one Of the casks, on being examined at the
Custom House, was found TO have conceslsd
among the succory a tin box, containg 81 dozen
Of silk ornamented purses, and several paper
packages containing nine pounds Of sewing silk,
and 80 dozen white kid gloves. The value Of the
casks Of succory is about va, on which there is
duty Of ten per cent, and the concealed articles
are valued at $500, on which the duty is 80 per
sent. The firm Of Albert & Spilker claimed the
succory, but denied all knowledge Of the con-
cealed goods One of the firm, Mr.. Albert, is
now in Europe, and the other, Mr.. Spilker, was
arrested and held TO bail in the sum Of rs ,OOO He
was yesterday tried, and found guilty; but since
the rendition Of the verdict, cannot be found. An.
Indictment is also standing against Mr.. Alberti.-7
The penalty for the offence is two years impris-
onment, and a fine Of $1,000, besides the forfeit
ure Of the goods. They are both wealthy, and
have been regarded aa among our most respecta-

A letter from New York says that the news
from Santa Fe created an intense sensation in that
city. II is thought that the erection Of State
Government there, under the circumstances, will
drive the South to extremes, and embarrass if moi
indefinitely postpone the admission Of California.
There are many who think that Texas will inn
.nediately make war on New Mexico, and few
indeed are there who have now any belief in the
passage Of the Omnibus bill"
