lieve in peace now, without being at the
• -galled upon to profess our convictik
'there never has been the slightest ,chant
being disturbed, that the whole French
the whole French press, the whole French
try,—that Germany, England, Sardinia, and Lo:
bardy' have been entirely mistaken, and that
there never has existed- the slightest foundation
for a panic which has depreciated stocks and shares ' •
to the' amount of 60 millions, which has occasioned
in every quarter a vast expenditure of money in
warlike lareparations, and the effects of which will
be felt through every quarter of the ciyiltied world
long after their cause has passed away Pr We lame •
that the French Legislature showed •aprirors,' •
tame and malleable, as it has Mlle tkeltf :of
refusing a war budget. We know dig G'e'
rmany
was animated by a spirit similar to that of 1813,
which would soon have carried-away-all-resistance
to its demands. We know that Englaiid eipresSed
the strongest dissent from the'proposed Italian
Revolution, and that the Freneh-people and Mini.:
stry, as one man, protestedagainst the, idea of war. ;4
Knowing all these things, we can well conceive'
that the Emperor, by the exercise of far _
dence and foresight than he is reputed to possess,
has been led to abandon his warlike projects; but •
we protest against the assertion that these projects
never existed because they have been abandoned,
or that our apprehensions were chimerical becauie
they are unrealised.
We .believe that France will be just as glad as
we are to receive this intimation of peace, and
that her pleasure would be increased were the
pleasing intimation conveyed to her unaccom-
panied by arguments and comments, which lead
us not unreasonably to doubt its sincerity. .
We could believe without difficulty that the re-
turning good sense of the Emperor has made hini
abandon his idea of war, but why weaken that con-
viction by insisting at the same time that he never
had the intention ? If .we are to receive the first
of these propositions as equally probable with the
second, we can repose no faith in either, and it is
only by remembering the kind of rhetoric which
passes current in the official organs of the French
Government, and the habits of intrepid assertion
and the utter dispensation from proof engendered
by the knowledge that whatever is written cannot
be answered, that we can induce ourselves to reject
the assertion that peace,wa.s, never intended to be
violated, While we accept the'promise that for the •
future,, at least, it will be observed.—Times.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 10.

INIARYLEBONE.—Catherine Howe, Ann Mor-
gan, and George Thomson, alias Totsy, a cabman,
were charged on remand with having been con-
cerned im a robbery of silk to the amount of £4OO,
the property of Messrs. Moss and Goodman, 169
and 170, Eclgeware-road, whose premises 'were
broken and entered on the morning of the 10thult.,
and the goods in question carried off.
Some additional evidence was now gone into, and
the man Thompson was ultimately discharged.
The two female prisoners were remanded on other
charges till Thursday next. .
John Darby and John Thompsen Were re•ex-
amined, charged with-having burglarionsly entered
the premises of Mr., Carter, Park-street, Camden-
town, and stolen therefrom a quantity of jewellery,
&e., to the amount of nearly £5OO.
The officers now brought forward additional
evidence, from which it was shown that some of the
property found by them had been stolen from the
premises of Mr:Stacey, jesieller, &c., St. Alban's.
place, Edgeware-road, whose house was broken
into on the night.of the 25th ult., and £l5O worth
of goods stolen. - The officers produced fresh wit-
nesses, and the prisoners were committed for trial
on two charges. Two other indictments will be
preferred against them at the sessions, one for a
robbery at Mr. Buckingham's, Baker-street, and
the other at Mr. Priest's, Edgeware-road ; in both
cases the property carried off was of considerable
value.

THAMES.—James Coyle, a labourer, aged 35,
of No. 11, Kirby-street, i3roraley, was brought up
on remand, charged with assaulting James Smith,
another labourer, of No. 18, St. Anne-street,
Limehouse, and biting off the end of his nose.
The particulars of the case have appeared in The
Sun. The outrage was committed during a fight.
All the evidence having been heard,
Mr. Elliott said the fighting was fair enough up
to a certain point, and then a savage assault was
committed by Coyle.. He fined the prisoner £5, or,
in default, two months' imprisonment.

SOUTHWARK. Edward Harris, a coster-
monger, was charged with throwing a rope over
the head of Emma Beckett, nearly strangling her,
and robbing her of a £5 Bank of England note.
The prosecutrix, a girl about. 17 years of age,
said she had been married to a " navvy" six months,
and on Tuesday afternoon she was stopped by -a
gentleman near Newington-causeway, who wanted
her to accompany him to an improper place. She
told hiin she was a married woman, and refused
to have anything to do with him. He, however,
followed her, gave her a £5 note, and left her. She
afterwards went into a publichouse close by and
treated a friend and the prisoner with a quartern
of gin. While standing there the prisoner threw a
rope over her head and pulled her out of the house,
nearly strangling her, and in the scuffle he stole the
£5 note from her. The police came up after she
had released herself, and she gave the prisoner into
custody.
Mr. Burcham—This is a very extraordinary and
improbable story. I cannot believe that any man
would be so foolish as to give a girl a £5 note for
nothing.
Prisoner—l went into the publichouse, but I
never touched her or saw a £5 note.
Mr,. Burcham—Was the landlord or any of his
servants there at the time ?

Prosecutrix—The landlady was there, but I don't
think she saw the £5 note, as I had not been in the
house a minute before I was pulled out with the
rope,

282 NT said he was on duty in Newington-cause-
way on Tuesday afternoon, when he saw a mob at
the door of the publichouse. On arriving there
he perceived the prosecutrix having hold of the
prisoner, whom she charged with robbing her of a
£5 note. He took him into custody and searched
him, but only two penny pieces were found upon
him.
The case was adjourned for a short time that
inquiries might be made. On the prisoner being
again brought up,
The constable said that the landlady was in the
bar all the afternoon, and there was no disturbance
in her house. There was a row outside, but she
never saw any woman with a £5 note.
Mr. Burcham—Where is the prosecutrix?
Sergeant Gardner—She is not in attendance, sir.
I really don't think she had a£s note. If she had
it's more likely that she stole it from the gentle-
man, as she was under the influence of liquor and
was with suspicious characters.

Mr. Burcham—The prisoner is discharged.

LAMBETH.—Mary Ann Adams, housemaid in
the service of a gentleman residing at Dulwich,
who has been in custody for the last week, on the
charge of concealing the birth of her illegitimate
offspring, cutting up its body into small pied* and '
flinging them into two waterclosets on- her master's
premises, was re-examined, and again, remanded. .

HAMMERSMITH.--The two young women,
Mary Ann O'Connor and Clara Willby, who were '
charged last week with being concerned in stealing
a cashbox containing about £l5O in bank-notes,
gold, and silver, and a number of- valuable docu-
ments belonging to Mrs. Susan Maddox, the land-
lady of the King and Queen public-house, High
street, Kensington, were brought up for further
examination.

After some additional evidence,
Mr. Dayman discharged Willby, and remanded
the other prisoner for a week.

to express to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and to the

the highest token of approbation from that ancient and
illustrious corporation, and a title of which everyone who
is so fortunate as to obtain it must be justly proud. Lord
Clyde also requests that his sincere thanks may be returned
for the present of a valuable sword, which he will ever
