A CONFI

,SSION

The Manchester Guardian, after' promising us a little
agitation in support of the repeal of the navigation laws,
confesses, on Saturday, the failure of the attempt. He

"It usually takes some time to saturate the public mind with
information on any great political or commercial question;
and, till this is done, no decisive or emphatic manifestation of
public opinion can reasonably be expected. The repeal of the
corn-laws is a recent and a striking case in point. The various
evils resulting from restriction and monopoly in the case of the
navigation laws, are by no means yet familiar to the bulk of the
public."

We fancy that the public are too busy in trying to find
the various benefits which were to result from the repeal
of the corn laws to have much time left to make themselves
familiar with the evils resulting from the navigation laws.
Perhaps, too, they think, with some show of reason, that
the proposed measure is only a bait to draw their attention
from the other interesting enquiry referred to.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

STABBlNG.—Catherine Burns, charged with stabbing
Margaret Moor in the face, in a house in Lancelot's-hey,
was fined five pounds, or, in default of payment, to be
imprisoned two months, and to find bail in two sureties,
of ten pounds each, or to be further imprisoned for three
months.

Hugh Quinn and David Machell were fined twenty
shillings and costs, or seven days' imprisonment, at the
Police-court, on Tuesday, for smuggling three pounds of
tobacco from New Orleans. At the same time John
Saunders was fined five pounds, or one month's imprison-
ment, for smuggling slbs of cigars from Calcutta.
ROBBERY BY A DOMESTIC.—Mary A. Lowe was
charged, by her master, Samuel Woodburn, of Great
Oxford-street, with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel.
It appeared that the girl had only left the Blue-coat Hos-
pital twelve months ago, and had, unfortunately, formed
an acquaintance with another girl of loose character,
which, it was supposed had led to the theft. Her master,
and a lady with whom she had formerly lived, wished the
magistrate to deal with the case in a corrective way, and
Mr. Rushton ordered the girl to be remanded.
ROBBERY OF £Bo.—James Jones charged, on Friday,
three girls, named Harriet Seldon, Eliza Joice, and Lilly
Kenlebuggy, with robbing him of £BO in a brothel in
Poynton-street. It appeared from the evidence that
Jones went into the house, and, while he was asleep, they
stole his money. One of the prisoners tried to get one
of the notes, a £5 one, changed at a public-house, but
the proprietor thinking that the note was stolen, gave her
41to custody. Inspector Murphy visited the house where
nes was, and on one ofthe girls, he found the money, on
another a bunch of keys, and on the last a penknife, all
belonging to the prosecutor. They were remanded.
