ROBBERY FROM AN INN.—Yesterday, at the City Police
Court, a little boy, who stated that he lived with his mother
in Agnes-street, Little Ireland, was ordered to be imprisoned
for one month with hard labour, for stealing a spittoon, a
little after 10 o'clock on the same morning, from the Dolphin
Inn, Stretford New Road.

gllor ROBBERY.—Yesterday, at the City Police Court, a
young man name 1 Drew, was charged with stealing a gait
of boots from the shop of Mr. Hassell, boot and shoe maker,
Deansgate. The boots were hanging at the shop door; the
prisoner cut the straps, seized the boots, and ran up
Queen-street. The prosecutor followed him, and on getting
up to him he threatened to stab him with a knife. He threw
away the boots, and was eventually secured. The magis-
trates committed him to take his trial at the sessions.
ROBBERY MOM THE BARRACKS.—At the Salford Town.
Hall, yesterday, a young man named John Wright, 17 years
of age, a tailor, was placed before the magistrates on a charge
of having stolen three pairs of trowsers from the infantry
barracks, Regent-road, Salford. It appeared that the prose-
cutor, John M'Bretinv, is a tailor in the 7th fusiliers,
now lying in the Regent-road barracks, and that he is in the
habit of making, not cnly the military uniform, but likewisd
plain clothes for the commissioned officers. For the purpose
of aiding him in making a quantity of the lati - -
of clothes he engaged the prisoner. On Tuc

ROBLERY OF A WATCIr, &c.—At the Salford Town
Hall, yesterday morning, a man named James Chadkirk,
was brought up before the magistrates, charged with steal-
ing a watch, a handkerchief, and ten shillings, belonging to
Thomas Hodgkinson, a butcher, belonging to Preston. It
appeared that Hodgkinson had been at the cattle market on
Wednesday, and that having missed the train in the ,even-
ing, he was obliged to remain in town all night. Between
eleven and twelve o'clock, he fell in the company of the
prisoner, who offered to find him lodgings until the morn-
ing. To the proposition the prosecutor listened, and accord-
ingly he was taken to a cellar in St. Stephen's-place, St.
Step Len's-street. On entering the cellar, he found that it
contained two beds, in one of which were two women, and
in the other a man and a woman. He sat down in a chair,
aad fell asleep. On awakening he was put out of the house.
He then discovered that he had, been robbed of his watch, a
handkerchief, and ten shillings in silver. Information was
immediately given to the policeman on the beat, who went
back with Hodgkinson to the cellar, where they found the
watch, but the money and handkerchief were not forthcom-
ing. Orders were given for further inquiries to be made
respecting the prisoner ; but in the meantime lie stands
committed to take his trial at the sessions.

PICKING A LADY'S POCKET.—Yesterday morning, at the
City Police Court, a boy named John Greeson, very young
in p ars, but very old in crime, was placed in the dock,
chat ged with having the same morning picked the pocket of
a lady, while she was proceeding along Deansgate. The
lady, it appeared, was going along Deansgate, when she was
accosted by a female, who enquired whether she had lost
anything. The lady put her hand into her pocket,' and dis-
covered that her purse, which contained 19s, was gone.
The female said she saw a boy put his hand into her pocket,
and take something out of it. The boy ran off; but was
pursued, and speedily apprehended. A policeman told the
magistrate that the prisoner, who lived by pocket picking,
had frequently been in the dock. The magistrates adjudged
him to three months imprisonment, with hard labour, on
hearing which, the impudent young rogue said, " Thank
you, Sir."

MALICIOUS ASSAULT.—A boy, of the name of Crompton,
yesterday, at the New Bailey, preferred a charge of assault
against another boy, named William Davis, who was de.
fended by Mr. Bennett, solicitor. The assault, it appeared,
took place on Tuesday night, at eight o'clock, at Newton
Heath. There had been in existence some bad feeling► .be-
tween the boys, owing to the complainant having upon_ a

previous occasion, given evidence in a c
prisoner. On behalf of the defendant, an

hard labour. There was no doubt that the assault w

witness against the prisoner in another case—and that was
an offence wh'eh was punished severely.

THE CASE OF MISS CUNNINGHAME.

The Earl of SHAFTE;BURY briefly explained that
object of_theAeputation was to lay before his lordship

cast of Miss M:Cunninghame, ana to solicit the into;

tion of her Majesty's government to procure that lady's
liberation from prison. His lordship, after some remarks
upon the case itself, proceeded to express himself in the
strongest manner upon the barbarous nature of the law
under which Miss Cunningham was arrested, and indulged
a hope that the most earnest efforts of the government
would be used to rescue a British subject from the indignity

thus offered t) her.
The Earl of CLARENDON said he entirely concurred in
the opinion expressed by Lord Shaftesbury as to the charac-
ter of the law in question, which was not only contrary to
the principles of the Gospel, but to the spirit of the age.
His lordship said he was quite familiar with the facts of the
case, having received a despatch from Mr. Scarlett on the
subject, and that he had lost no time in forwarding his
directions to that gentleman, which he did the same evening
by post. Mr. Scarlett had acted with the greatest zeal in
the matter, and in a manner to secure his (Lord Clarendon's)
entire approbation. All the members 'of the Cabinet with
whom he (Lord Clarendon) had had an opportunity of com-
municating, entirely agreed with him in the view he took
of the case, and he felt that it was one in which no exertion
should be spared on his part to secure Miss Cunningliame's
release. His lordship concluded by thanking the deputa-
tion for urging this subject upon his attention, adding, that
their so doing, afforded a strong indication of the interest
felt in the case by all classes.

The deputation, after thanking his lordship for his
courtesy and the prompt manner in which he had taken up
the case, withdrew.

Chairman proposed the toast of
Graham and the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty .
Sir James Graham responded, and, after some preparatory
and complimentary observations, having reference to the
pledge asked, that nothing of a political character should
be introduced, said—" Her Majesty's navy knows no
politics. (Hear, hear). They have but one duty, which is
the defence of onr common country, and, united with her
Majesty's army, they are_ prepared, without distinction of

party—withoui any knowledge of political differences, at all
times, and in all circumstances, faithfully to do their duty to
their common country. (Hear. hear). It would appear
unseemly, therefore, to have exposed either of these gallant
professions, who accepted your invitation with cordiality and
with confidence, to any expressions of political difference.
(Hear, hear). It has been my duty, during a long political
life, to take an active part in those matters which are na-
turally involved in political differences, and I did fear that
in my own person, after all that has occurred during the
lapse of that long period, I might by my presence excite
somewhat of angry feeling (no, no). That was my fear, whch
your kindness to-night, however, has entirely dissipated.
(hear, and cheers). But I thought it prudent, under
circumstances to which I have referred, to ask an assurance
in the manner I have mentioned. My friend, the honour-
able member for Youhal, has observed, and with remarkable
truth and justice, that, whatever may

lave been the differ-

ences which existed on some subjects, many cherished pre-
judices have been dissipated and laid aside, (hear, hear) ; but
there is one prejudice which is still strong and common to all ;
that is the confidence in the naval profession, over which the
worthy Admiral presides, and the earnest desire that its flag
shall brave as heretofore. " the battle and the breeze,"
untarnished and invincible. (Hear, hear.) Nov, gentlemen,
it has been the endeavour of successive governments to use all

the modern appliances of science, and the improvements
which that science has effected, to increase the efficiency of
that gallant profession, and I and my colleagues thought
that it would be agreeable to the Irish people, (hear, hear,)
