William Atwell, alias Weld), 24, described as a la bourer, and Edward Jackson, 27, described as a painter, were placed at the bar, the forner charged with having stolen a box containing a laco mantle, a quantity of jewellery, and various other irticle, the property of the rate Earl of Ellesmere ; aid the latter for having received the same knowing it to have been stolen. Ann Jackson, the wife of the latter prisoner, was also charged with receiving. Mr. Gifford prosecuted ; Mr, Cooper and Mr. Lewis appeared for Jackson ; and Mr. Sleigh for Mrs. Jackson. Jackson pleaded not guilty, but Attwell pleaded guilty. Evidence was called to prose the loss of the box con taining the above valuable articles in the course of its conveyance to the railway, the particulars of which have been so recently and fully placed before the publio as not to require repetition. A lady's maid in the service of the Countess of Elles mere identified all the articles found in Jackson's house as her ladyship's property, The jowellery, &c., found in the box was worth between 15,0001. and 16,000/. The Recorder--1,5001., or 15,0001 Witness-15,0001. The trunk was produced and identified as to one last containing her ladyship's property. William Charles Brown, cabdriver, said that on the 22d of January, 1856, he was hired from the stand in Dover-street, Berkeley -square, by the prisoner Attwell, who had the box produced on she kerb-stone. Another man was with him, but he did not think he could iden tify him again. He took the two men with the box and drove them to Leonard -street, Shoreditch. Attwell took the box on his shosider and went off in the direction of Jackson's house. Cross-examined by Mr. Cooper—He bad not driven past Jackson's house when he put them down. Leonard square was more like an " obelisk" than a square. Lydia Cooling, a lace-cleaner, residing in Grosvenor. place, Pimlico, identified a Brussels lace shawl, found is Jackson's house, as the property of Lady Ellesmere. Thomas Evans, a police-sergeant, said that on the 18th October he was in Old-street when he saw Jackson coming towards him but he turned away quickly and walked up Henry-street. Witnes3 followed him and took hies into custody. He went to the prisoner's house where he saw Mrs. Jackson, and took from her a silver mug she bad in her hand which she said had been given to her by Attwell, who was there. He gave Attwell into the custody of another officer. Attwell said he had picked up the mug in Shoreditcb. He then proceeded to search the house, and found the Brussels lace shawl and the other articles of dress produced, including lace jackets, scarves, handkerchiefs, lace sleeves, silk stockings, &c. &c. He took Mrs. Jackson into custody, and when she saw her husband is prison, he said to her, " What have they brought away she replied. Those handker chiefs you know I have had these Bor 9 years. Mrs. Jackson was not detained in custody. He again searched the house and found other articles which Mrs. Jackson said she had bought of a young woman who had lived with her sister. When Jackson was at the police-court, and before he was taken in the van on re mand he said to witness, "Evans, you are prosecuting an innocent man. I don't deny that the box was brought to my plAce, but I can't help that. If you will go to Crown-street, and Gun-street, and all the names of the shoe shops, I will tell you where the wearing apparel was taken." Witness obtained the names and showed them to Jackson, but he said he did not see the name there. He then said he would not make any further statements unless he was promised that he should not be prosecuted. He added that he saw the gold being melted, and the diamonds sorted in different carats, ane,that the diamond necklace was sold to a Jew in Bishvegate-street, for 3001., and that other portion of the diamonds were thrown down a water-closet into a field in Whitecbapel. The box on being conveyed to his house was taken into the back parlour, when it was opened, and then Jackson added he would have nothing to do with it. The jewellery he had was taken away in a red handkerchief. A gold refiner, residing in Wilderness-row, proved that, Jackson had offered him diamonds for sale, and several dressmakers, wardrobe-dealers, and others traced much of the wearing apparel to Jackson and his wife. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sleigh suggested there was no case to go to the jury against Mr& Jackson. _ The Recorder said be thought otherwise. If the jury considered the a omen had acted under the control of her husband they might acquit her. He held it was entirely a question for the jury, and that there was abundant evidence on the point to go to thejuty. Mr. Cooper addressed the jury •n the part of Jackson, urging that there was no evidencE to prove that he re ceived the property knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Sleigh addressed the juts for the woman, eon tending- that if she acted in the matter at all it was under her husband's control, and, corsequently, she was not responsible. He feelingly appe►led to the jury to con - eider the female prisoner's state, being in hourly expec tation of giving birth to her tmth child, and that the 12 1311 ni Lne children born and alive were dependent on their parents for support. The learned Recorder having summed UP, The jury returned a verdict of guilty against Jackson. The female prisoner was accptitted, and immediately discharged. To inquiries made of Evans, the policeman, by the Recorder, he produced valuable property found in Jack son's house, portions of the proceeds of burglaries at Septon and Ilford, and alio property stolen from a cab in the neighbourhood of Kennington, and another rob bery. The Recorder said h 3 thought the whole of Attwell's statementshowed hint at the time to be ayoung beginner. The Recorder sentenced Attwell only to six months' hard labour, in consequ ence d his voluntary statement having been the means of detecting the receiver of th• stolen goods. Jackson was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. POLICE INTEILLIGNNCE.— (This Day. WESTMINSTER. DARING ROBBERY AT PAWNBROKERS.

The Three Clerks ; A Novel, By Anthony Trol lope, author of "Barchester Towers," &o. 3 vols. Bentley. This work will greatly raise the author's reputa tion. The readers of his former works will remem ber that they displayed no inconsiderable abilitV l I and skill in delineation of character. They did not, however, touch the deeper feelings or more serious principles of life, but contented themselves with sharp and pleasant satire on some of the dignitaries of a cathedral town. The present work quits the cloisters of Barchester for the wilderness of the modern Babylon, and takes for its victims the mem bers of the Civil Service, a less questionable sub ject, some may think, than Bishops and Archdea cons. But though full of the satiric portraits and attacks upon conventional absurdities that abound in "The Warden" and in "Barchester Towers," this work occupies a higher position, and claims a wider range. It shows the dangers of expediency as opposed to principle ; it paints in vivid colours the perils of a mis-directed ambition ; it points the precipice over which talents, energy, affection, high position, and extended influence will fall at last if they choose the broad path instead of the narrow—if they persist in thinking the end justifies the means. The career and character of Alaric Tudor are drawn with a force and vitality that proves the author to possess talents of no common order. Wile three clerks are all employed in the Civil Service. Their names are Henry Norman, "Alaric Tudor, and Charles, his cousin. They are contrasted with great skill. Henry Norman, the first introdubed to the realer, is the most high principled. He escapes serious evils, such as befal his companions, by his steadiness and honesty„ but he is not without his faults, being somewhat unforgiving and obstinate. Though clever and industrious he is always second to his friend Marie, who soon distances him in the race for success and distinction. His more brilliant talents and versatility, and, alas, his ready adop tion of the means at band, whatever their charac ter, enable him to rise with surprising quickness in the social scale. A rivalry in love produces a quar rel between him and his friend Noipaan, but he takes it very little to heart. He prospers in his love suit, but that can hardly stay him in his course. He devotes all his time, his talents, his energies to getting on in life. Excelsior is hie motto, but "he failed to discover that onwards and upwards were not the same • that to advance was not necessarily to ascend." Misled by dishonest speculators with whom he associated, who laughed him out of his scruples, and turned him to their own purposes, he hurried on the road to ruin. His fortune was in creasing, his position was high, influence and au thority were his,!Parliament was opening its doors, when a sudden turn of fortune saw him a felon at the dock. He had committed one of those breaches of trust which have been, unfortunately, not un common, and which are always standing tempting in the way of him who takes expediency for his motto instead of honesty. The third clerk, Charley Tudor, is a very natural character, drawn with considerable skill. He is a young man of good dis position and gay and easy temper, who has come up from Wales to fill a place in a branch of the civil service, where discipline is unknown. Without society or friends, of course he falls headlong into all sorts of mischief. His career is sketched with great skill, and it is unfortunately very natural. These are the three heroes of the story, and of course there must be three heroines. These are found in the family of Mrs. Woodward, a widow lady residing at Hampton. The author's power in delineatine•. character is shown in his heroines, as well as in his heroes. They are all charming por traits, but strikingly different from each other. The intellect and decision of the one, the gentleness and submission of the second, arid the high spirit and straightforward temper of the third, are well contrasted. Mrs. Woodward, the mother, is a pleasing picture, though not very prudent in her care of her daughters. But the author has given us some very original specimens of ladies'.conver sation. They are not in the habit of talking about " fools," " spooneys," and such elegant phrases. We are sorry Mr. Trollope has marred the effect of his graceful, feminine pictures by such careless touches. These are only the chief figures ; the canvas is crowded with minor ones. Tne chiefs of the rival offices, Sir Gregory Hardlines, Mr. Fidus Neverbend, Mr. Oldeschole, dm., are all clever por traits. The rigidityand exactitude of the "Weights and Measures" is amusingly contrasted with the negi gence and dissipation of the " Internal Naviga tion." Then Alarie's speculating as ociates and all their questionable circle are introduced. Old Captain Cutwater is a specimen of the ill-used naval officer, constantly lamenting • the injustice of the Admiralty. The vigour and variety of the style may be shown by the following extracts. Charley Tudor is describing a romance he is writing, and ihe author takes the opportunity to ridicule some prevailing follies " In the first paragraph, Sir Anthony Allan-a-dale is lying dead, and the Baron of Ballyporeen is rtand ing over him with a bloody sword. You must alwa3s begin with an incident now, and then hark back for your explanation and description • that's what the editor says is the great secret of the present day, and where we beat all the old fellows that wrote twenty years ago." "Oh !--yes—l see. They used to begin at the be ginning ; that was very humdrum." A devilfish bore, you know, for a fellow who takes up a novel because he's dull. Of course he wants his fun at once. If you begin with a long history of who's who and all that, why he won't read three pages; but if you touch him up with a startling incident or two at the first go off, then give him a chapter of horrors, then another of fun, then a little love, or a little slang, or something of that sort, why you know, about the end of the first volume, you may describe as much as you like, and tell everything about everybody's father and mother for just as many pages a s you want to fill. At least that's what the editor says. ‘" Meleager ab ovo' may be introduced with safety when you get as far as that," suggested Norman. " Yes, you may bring him in too, if you like," said Charley, who was somewhat oblivious of his classicali ties. Well, Sir Anthony is lying dead and the Baron is standing over him, when out comes Sir Anthony's retainers " Out—out of what ?'' " Out of the castle : that's all explained afterwards Out come the retainers and pitch into the Baron til they make mincemeat of him." " They don't kill him, too ?" "Don't they though? I rather think they do, and no mistake." " And so both your heroes are dead in the first chapter." " First chapter! why that's only the second para graph. I'm only to be allowed ten paragraphs for each number, and I am expected to have an incident for every other paragraph, for the first four days." " That's twenty incidents." " Yes, —it's a great bother finding so many—l'm obliged to make the retainers come by all manner of accidents ; and I should never have finished the job if I hadn't thought of setting the castle on fire. `And now forked tongues of liquid fire and greedy lambent lames buret forth from every window of the devoted edifice. The devouring element—'. That's the best passage in the whole affair." " Well, the retainers had no sooner made mincemeat of him, than they perceived that Sir Anthony was lying with an open bottle iu his hand, and that he had taken poison." " Having committed suicide ?" asked Norman. " No, not at all. The editor says that we must always have a slap at some of the iniquities of the times. He gave me three or four to choose from ; there was the adulteration of food, and the want of edecation for the poor, and street music, and the miscel!aneoua sale of poisons." "And so you chose poisons and killed the Knight ?" " Exactly ; at least I didn't kill him, for he comes all right again after a bit. He had gone out to get something to do him good after a hard night, a seidlitz powder, or something of that sort, and an apothe cary's apprentice had given him prussic acid in mis. ake." " And how is it possible he should have come to life after taking prussic acid?" " Why, there I have a double rap at the trade. The prussic acid is so bad of its kiad, that it only puts him into a kind of torpor for a week. Then we have the trial of the apothecary's boy; that is an excellent episode and gives me a grand hit at the absurdity of our crimi nal code." " Why, Charley, it seems to me that you are hitting at everything." "Oh ! ah ! right and left, that's the game for us authors. The press is the only ccnser MOMM going now —and who so fit ? Set a thief to catch a thief, you know. Well, I have my hit at the criminal code, and then Sir Anthony comes out of his torpor." "But how did it come to pass that the Baron's sword was all bloody 1" " Al', there was the difficulty ; I saw that at once. It was necessary to bring in something to be killed, you know. I thought of a stray tiger out of Wombwell's menagerie ; but the editor says that we must not trespass against the probabilities, so I have introduced a big dog. The Baron had come across a big dog, and seeing that the brute had a wooden log tied to his throat, thought he must be mad, and so he killed him." Here is a specimen of the author's power in more serious scenes. Alaric is summoned to his trial at the Old Bailey: — , 4 He had hardly finished his enforced breakfast when the cab and the lawyer came to the door. The learned gentleman had the good taste not to come in, and so the servant told them that Mr. Gltemthrnet was there. Say that your master will be with him in a minute,' said Gertrude, quite coolly ; and then the room door was again closed, and the husand and wife had now to say adieu. " Alaric rote from his chair and made a faint at tempt to smile, Well, Gertrude,' said he, it has come at last.' " She rushed into his embrace, and throwing her arms around him, buried her face upon his breast. ♦laric, my busliatid ; my Lye, my beat, rry own, my only love.' _ . . " ' I cannot say much tO'7, GTriil:•lB bow good you are ; you will co!ac and 2 , will let you, 'woo% you ? ' .0; I iviow if they " See you ' paid sbe, etatting back, but ,I.JI hold ing him and looking up earnestly into hii f;4O-3. Sae you! ' and then she poured out her leie with all the passion Ma Ruth " Whither, thou go-it, I will go ; and where thou lo•igest, I will lcd2e ; " "" Where thou ciiest, will I lie, h d theLe will I, lre,baried : the Lord do so to me, and wore aho, if s.aght but death part thee and rue." See you, Alaric ! oh, it cannot be that they will hinder the wile from- being with her husband.' . . . do not droop li)w, " But, Alaric,' she went on, love—will you 1 " I cannot brazen it out,' said he. well what it is that I have doze; I know too "No, not that, Mario ; I wonl,l not have that. But, remember, all is not over, whatever they may do. Ah, how little will really be over, what ever they can do. You have repeated, have you not, Alarm° ? ' "'1 think so, I hope au,' said Alarie, with' his eyes upon the ground. " You have repented, and aro right before God 4-do not fear then what man can do to you. I would not have you brazen, Atari° ; but be manly, ha collected, be your own self, the nmn that I have Icved, the man that Ido now love so well, better, better than ever ;' and she threw herself on him and kissed Lint arid clang . to him, and stroked his hair and put her hand upon hie faoe, and then holding him from her, looked up to him as though he were a hero whorl: she all but nor shipped. " Gertrule, Gertrude, that I should have brat:gilt you tothisl ' ".`Never mind,' said she ; we will win through ifs yet—we will yet be happy together far, far away from here—remember that—let that support ycu through all. And now, Atari; yon will come,up for one moment and kiss him before you go.' " The man will be impatient.' _ " Never mind ; let him be impatient—you shall-not go away without blessing your boy ; come up, Alaric.' And she took him by the hand and led him like a child into the nursery. " Where is he, nurse ? bring him here--rapa is going away—Alley, boy, give papa a big kiss.' " Marie, fur the first time for the fortnieit;tnek the little fellow into his arms and kissed him. ' God bless you, my bairn,' said ho, and grant that all this may never be visited against you, here or hereafter.' _ < " And now go,' said Gertrude, as they descended the stairs together, and may God in his mercy watch over and protect you and give you back to Me.' .And, Alaric, wherever you are I will be close to you, remem ber that—l will be quite, quite close to you. Now, one kiss—oh, dearest, dearest Alaric-- there—there—and now go.' And Fe he went, and Gertrude, shutting herself into her room, threw herself on to the bed, and wept aloud. " She threw herself on to her bed and there her mother found her. Oh, mama—dear mama, this is so good of you, so very good—l am bout r that I waq , mama • better that I hoped to be—but oh, mama, for his sake, would that this day was done.' " Mr. Chaffenbrass, the popular barrister, great in browbeating witnesses, is another of the author's clever touches, and even were the ability much less than it is, the work would very likely be popular from all these satirical sketches. But he has set before him in this work a higher object than mere amusement or the display of his powers of sarcasm. He has shown how a noble nature may be perverted, and great talents misapplied under specious pre texts. None can say the lesson is not needed in our own time, when the high-born, the indepen dent, the gifted, those whom men have revered for their piety, or trusted for their integrity, have worn the dress of the felon, or escaped the punish ment of the criminal, though they share his name. The end of over-speculation and fraudulent expe dients we have all seen only too often ; it is well , that one should step forward to show again the neglected beginning. None can quarrel with the author for too great precision and formality, for over scrupulousness or morose preaching. He draws a life we cannot say is improbable, he shows the dangers that attend those who make baste to be rich by unlawful means, he brings it to an end which many have reached during the last few years, and teaches a powerful lesson. The career of Charley is also well-drawn, showing ho w kind and friendly aid will often save those not wilfully bad, but led by untoward circumstances into temptation. The work is one which will be likely to have a large circulation, and gives promise that the author will one day attain a high rank among writers of fiction. The Choice of It Profession. By H. Byerley Thomson, B.A. Chapman and Hall. This is a work on a subject whose importance will be readily acknowledged. It gives a brief and comparative review of the English professions, giving a concise account of each profession and its honours, the special education required, the cost of entering, and the mode of doing so ; the general income and advantages, and the necessary capacities and qualifications. It will, therefore, at once be seen how valuable such a work must be to those who are as yet undecided in their choice, and who, not being gifted with any peculiar taste or talents, are uncertain which to oboose. Itis justly observed by the author, that there can hardly bo a greater social misfortune than the erroneous choice of a profession. Those whose choice is already made may find the information given very useful. It must not be supposed that the church, the law, and medicine are the only professions treated of. We meet chapters on the army, the navy, the mer cantile marine, the civil service, and all artistic and scientific pursuits. The author believes this to be the only general work on the English profes sions, and as it fills so remarkable a void, it is likely to meet with immediate attention The Buccaneers. By Walter Thornbury, author of " Art and Nature," ctc. Routledge. The reprint of Mr. Thornbury's clever - work on the history of the Buccaneers will no doubt be re ceived with interest. It is now published in one Tontine, with illustrations by "Phiz," and contains a full account of the exploits of those extra)rdinary men. Mr. Thornbury's literary talents have enabled him to compile such an interesting narra tive, that the feats of these cruel " sea rovers' are likely to be more widely known than the deeds of better men. Industrial and Social Position of Women, Chapman and Hall. This is a valuable and carefully written work on a most important topic. The author has evidently thought deeply on the subject, and ho gives us the results of no Quixotic dreams, but of an earnest and practical consideration of the question. The just ness of his views, and the moderation and good sense displayed in them, entitle the work to a careful and attentive perusal. ENGLISS TRAVELLERS AND ROMAN BRIGANDS. ROME, Dec. s.—The brigands in the neighbour hood of the Eternal City have just resumed their periodical practice of spoliating such incautious travellers as take more money with them than is necessary for their own wants, or less than will suffice to pacify the auri sacra fames of highway assailants. On Monday evening at seven (*.lock a y vetturino carriage was plodding its wearwayirom Oivita Vecchia towards Rome, and had reached a spot four miles on this side of Palo, when its farther progress was opposed by seven bandits armed with bludgeons, pistols, and daggers, who stopped the vehicle, and proceeded to rifle the passengers, consisting of Dr. Conolley, Roman Catholic bishop of Halifax, on his way to Rome to pay homage to the supreme head of the Church, Mr. Blake, and Mr. and Mrs. Harper. The Bishop was eased of 1401., besides his episcopal chain and cross, and the pastoral ring, a fine emerald, which he wore according to custom. Mr. Make, feeling greatly averse to submitting to spoliation, in bis turn manfully resisted. the outlaws' invitAtion to stand and deliver, but he was finally oveipoWered by numbers, after being severely beaten and having had a pistol presented at his head, which fortunately missed fire. Mr. and Harper were robbed of their watches, chains, and purses ; and altogether the plunder realised' by the marauders may be valued at about a thousand scudi, or over 2001. BANK OF MEETING.
