SUJIMONSIIS.—SevoraI judgment summonses
were heard, and orders for committal made, but no case
it volved any details of importance.

The two blue books on the slave trade, annually pre-
sented to Parliament, have been issued. Apart from the
special interest attaching to them as records of what has
been done from the Ist of April. 1856, to the 31st of March,
1857, towards suppressing a traffic the proposed resumption
of which has lately occupied no small share of public atten-
tion, they suggest considerations of some importance. It
may be useful to premise that the corresponSenc3 included
under class A embraces the reports cf the Commissioners
of the Mixed Commission and the Vice-Admiralty Courts.
and of the naval officers engaged its the operations of the
cruising squadron. Class Bis c ,mposel of the despatches of
the British ministers and agents in foreign countries, and of
communications with foreign ministers in England. It
will taus be seen that the diplomatic machinery employed
for this purpose is threefold. We have lust the regularly
appointed ambassadors or consuls ; secondly, the judges and
arbitrators, who constitute the Mixed Commission Courts ;
and thirdly, the Vice-Admiralty Courts; and it is not a little
perplexing to the uninitiated to comprehend the precise
functions of each. To solve this problem we will first address
ourselves. The systematic efforts of Great Britain for the
suppression of the slave trade, date from 1815, when, at the
Congress of Vienna, the extinction of the traffic in slaves
was iecorporated as a principle of the future policy of the
European Powers. Since that period treaties for this
special object have been concluded with the whole of them,
as well as with the United States and the Governments of
South America ; and conventions have been added to give
force to those entered into with Spain and Portugal. In
virtue to these we have a Mixed Commission Court at
Havannah, with an English judge and a Spanish judge,
and an English commissioner and a Spanish commissioner
of arbitration, in all four officials, who, in the event of a
difference of opinion, draw lots which shall decide the ease
in dispute. At Sierra Leone sit the commissioners of the
British and Netherlands, British and Spanish, British and
Argentine, British and Uruguayan, British and Bolivian,
and British and Chilian mixed Courts. That of the Cape
of. Good Hope may be regarded as a court of conven-
ience, before which the cases of vessels captured to the cest
of the Cape are brought into obvious preference to taking
them to the one at Havannah. The seat of the British
and Portuguese mixed courts is Lando. There used to
be others at the Cape de Verds and Jamaica, but they were
abolished in 1851, in accordance with an underatanding to
that effect at a conference held at Lisbon on the 18th of
September in that year. The office of the commissioners
in these courts is confined to an adjudication of vessels
taken on the high seas by the cruisers of the contracting
powers, specially provided with instructions and authority
for that purpose. The Vice-Admiralty courts, which may
be regarded as the police courts of the high seas, have
only a limited jurisdiction. It exteuds, by virtue of certain
acts of Parliament, to vessels sailing under the Brazilian, or
under no particular flag, or under that of any power not
under treaty with great Britain to abolish the slave
trade, and which may he captured by her M,j-sty's cruisers
on any part of the high se,s, on suspicion of being engaged
therein. They are established at Sierra Leone and St.
Helena. We believe we are within the mark when we
state that this complicated machinery, and the cruising
system on which it is founded, cost this country one mil-
lion sterling annually, irrespecive of the sacrifice of life
from the effect of the African climate. The practical
question sugges`ed by these facts is this . What do we get
for our money ? Is the return commensurate with so
enormous an expenditure ? Let us see. Since 1817,
when Spain agreed, by treaty, to abolish the slave trade, '
and to establish mixed commission courts, and received
£400,000 for doing so, she has annually imported
into Cuba from fifteen thousand to twenty thou-
sand Africans, In other words, she has added
from 600,000 to 800,000 slaves to the population'
of that island, so that were Spain to fulfil her t-eaty
obligations with Great Britain, end liberate ail the s ayes
that have been surreptitiously introduced into Cuba since
she contracted them, slavery in that island would be at
once abolished. This large number, which dues not
represent the actual drafts of Africans from their country
have been conveyed to Cuba, be it remembered, in spite of
the cruisers ; and, in bis very list report to the Earl of
Clarendon, we find Mr. Commissary Crawford stating
that " the slave trade continues to be carried on not only
extensively, but almost with impunity." Ho sets down the
number known to have been landed in 1856, at 7.304 ;
but no reliance can be placed upon these figure=, it
being notorious that Her Majesty's Commissioner is
purposely misled, and possesses not the means of obtaining
correct information on this material point. And what has
the mixed court of Havannah done ? Since its establish-
ment, in 1835, the total number of cases adjudicated by it
to the close of December, 1857, has amounted to only 24:
12 of which occurred in 1835 and 1836. On one of these
occasions the English and the Spanish arbitrators tossed,
heads or tails, which should decide. Tails won, and the
Spanish official discharged the slaver and her crew, The
Captain-Generalship of Cuba is a post of emolument, which
the Spanish Government confers as a special reward upon
men who, like Concha, have served it in a strait. The
Commissary-Judgeship of the Mixed Commission
Court at Havannah is a snug sinecure, and the noble lord
at the head of her Majesty's Government once found it
convenient to confer it on a gentleman who, awkwardly
enough, was returned for Tiverton, and who, having
worthily discharged his nominal duties at Havannah for a
certain number of years, is now a pensioner of the Govern-
ment on a retired allowance. The fact is suggestive. In-
deed, if a reason were wanted for mooting the expediency
of abolishing a Court so useless, we could cite none more
forcible than the following, extracted from Mr. Crawfon'a's
last annual report, published in the blue books under
notice. He says :—`• Many years have elapsed since
any slaver having slaves on board has been captured
and brought into this port (Havannah), and all the
time the slave trade has been carried on to a
" considerable extent." Teenty thousand nrgroes landed
annually are, in effect, something considerable in the
way of slave-trading. The mixed Commission Court at
the Cape of Good Hope appears to enjoy an equal im-
munity from labour. From 1843 to the present time,
only one case has required the attention of the gentlemen
in office there, and that occurred in 1851. We have a
similar return for the one at Loando, for we find that from
the Ist of January, 1844, to the present time, only twelve
cases had come before mit, in five of which the vessels
seized were reeto-ed. As the mixed courts at the Cape
de Verds and Jamaica have been abolished, we need
not dwell on their ineffieiency, save by way of com-
pleting oar record. From 1843 to 1851 only one
case came under their notice, so that they probably
abolished themselves for sheer want of occupation. In
one instance alone do we find evidence of adequate work
done. It is in that of the Mixed Commission Court of
Sierra Leone. Since its establishment in June, 1819, the
total number of cases adjudicated, to the close of Decem-
ber, 1845, amounted to 531, of which 503 were cases of
condemnation, and 28 were either withdrawals, dismissals,
or restoration,. During that period 64,615 slaves were
emancipated by the Court, of whom the large number of
56,935 have been registered as British subjects. Since
1845, however, to the present, time, only one case has
occurred, so that evert this Court has subsided into inertia,
like the others. Now we do most seriously submit, that
the foregoing facts establish a strong prima facie case in
favour of a revision of the system which called these
courts into existence, and which is maintained at to
enormous a cost to the nation. The returns of the
various Vice-Adrairaly Courts exhibit very dissimilar
features, as might be expected frren their constitution and
the nature of their funcions. Slavers do not usually sail
under any colours. The reason is obvious, for aa, under
our treaties with certain powers, our cruisers may exercise
the right of search, or, in the absence of such right, may
overhaul any suspicious looking craft, the slavers prefer
not to hoist a flag at all, except your regular American,
who lets go the stars and stripes and defies capture. It
follows that the majority of seizures take place close to
the African coast; that they are chiefly captured and
condemned on suspicion of being engaged in the slave-
trade, and hence era found to possess neither colours nor
papers to fix their nationaliy. The Sierra Leone Court
is necessarily the one that has most to do. Front 1846 to
1850, 248 cases had been adjudicated. In 1851, only
twelve occurred. Since then the total number of casts has
not exceeded that figure. This diminuticn, we would
remark, dates from the very year when the Brazilian
slave-trade ceased, previously to which the importatioes
into the several ports of Brazil averaged from 45,000 to
50,000 annually, and in one year-1844-45—even reached
70,000. Now, during all this time, the cruiser system,
with its expensive machines of Mixed Courts, was in full
activity; but in 1851 the Brazilian authorities past a stop
to the trade, and, as a corresponding result, the cases
before the Vice-Admiralty Court of Sierra Lone, dropped
to something like three per annum, including these of
canoes seized is the Sleerbro waters. These facts teach us
that the nation is expending a million pounds sterling
every year, with little practical result ; and it may be
asked how it is that no member rises in his piaci: in the
House to bring this grave question of useless expenditure
under notice ? The truth is that the estimates are voted
away in the most scandalously off-hand manner, and there
is not, at present, any means of checking the expenditure
incurred under the various heads which this system—
Cerberus-like—is made to present. Again, the slave-trade
papers are never forthcoming until Parliament has broken
up, or is quite near doing so, and members have not
sufficient opportunity of enquiry into the facts of the case.
The consequence is that, ;n the session of 1858, they will
have only slave-trade information from the Ist of April,
1856, to the 31st of March, 1857. It will come like
mustard after dinner. There is, however, no reason why

The history of Lady Ellesmere's jewels is one of the
strangest upon record, even in the prolific annals of Lot
don crime. Fielding, when at work upon the biograPl
of Jonathan Wild the great, might have hit upon a distant
counterpart to this romantic incident in the chonicles of
the hulks, but even his copious imagination would baci:
failed him had he attempted to sketch the more delicate
details and finer shades of such a picture. The robbe_:.o
of the Royal nursery plate was a mere commonplace affair
by the side of such a transaction as this. The abstraction.
of the gold dust upon the South Eastern was no doubt
planned with wonderful ingenuity, followed up with re'
rnarkable perseverance, and effected with signal audicitli;
but it was altogether wantin in the rich comic vein wilic
peculiarly distinguishes the achievement of which We are
now treating. There is no insuperable difficulty, to is/
"J
sure, in the remeeel of a box from the top of a cab
three London thieves alio are on the look out for anything
that may turn up to their edventage. This box however,'
was the property of a lady -4 high rank, and contained
jewelry and dresses the value of Which '
is probably under'
stated at £15,000. The fellows who has
made this enor-
mous coup were so entirely ignorant of the eeeent of their
own good fortune that they mistook the diamondspaste and the dresses for theatrical properties, and accord'
ingly disposed for a few shillings of what had cist sons°
thousands of pounds. They appear to have had pretty
much the same idea of the real nature of their booty as a
mob of South Sea savages or a gang of drunken sailors
might besupposed to have had under similar circumstances.
The behaviour of Clown and Pantaloon in a Christmat,
pantomime, when their thievish efforts have been crowned
with success, probably presents the nearest known counter-
part to the proceedings of Messrs. Whitty, Saint, and
Attwell when they were unpacking the results of their
ltitle expedition. We were enabled in our impression of
Saturday to lay a correct version of the store before nee
readers as sketched by the master hand of one of the
partners in the theft. If we recur to the transaction to-dal
it is not in the vain hope of rivalling the graphic discrir
tion of a writer who might have extorted the applause
of Defoe himself, but simply in the discharge of a
usual duty. The robbery of Lady Ellesmere's jewels le
one of the mast s'riking incidents of the day, and we are
bound to call attention to it, now that the mystery na't,
received its solution. It is, however. but bare justice to
the eminent writer in question—Mr. William Attwell—to
state, that he has related the progress of the transaction in
a spirit which sets all competition at defiance. It is not
only the manner in which he marshals hls incidents which
commands our admiration, but he rich racy English in
which his narrative is embalmed is far beyond the reach of
any ordinary taleteller. This gentleman has for some tint!
past resided in seclusion at Springfield Gaol, in the county of
Essex, and it is from this place of temporary retirement
that he dates the narrative which we are now about brief()
to recapitulate. On the 22nd of January of last year Mr'
Attwell, in company with hie two friends, Messrs. Saint
and Whitty, set out upon a little excursion from London'
bridge tattle West end, to see if anything could be done
in the line of their peculiar prcfassion. When in the
neighbourhood of Grosvenor-square they saw a carriage
drawn by two horses, and immediately preceding it two
cabs. On one of these was placed a large black port- •
raanteau, with a smellier one by its side. Mr. Whitty
hereupon remarked " There go Port St. Peters," which
expression being interpreted, means " trunks." The friends
were instantly ti ed with a noble ardour. " May Ibe lagged,"
exclaimed Mr. Whitty, full of noble enthusiasm, " but I'll
have the big one " They accordingly gave chase, ands
when the carriage and the two cabs parted company, .541 r.
Whitty jumped up behind the vehicle which was the object
of their especial pursuit, laid hold of the rail with the one
hand and with the other dragged the big portmanteau og
into the road. It was so heavy that, we are told, Whitty,
being then somewhat out of condition, fell with it. The
horse in the cab—so violent was the jerk--
reared up, but the driver was not g• turns
bled," in other words, had not taken alarm'
The three friends endured some moments of intense
anxiety as they watched to see if the two "cheers,
or cabs, proceeded quietly on their way. They did so, and
it was only diecavered at the railway terminus that LanY
Ellersmere's jewel-box, or rather jewel-trunk, had apps' _
rently melted into empty air. Upon the consternation,7
the guardian valet, and of the cab Man, and of the ir
whose property had thus mysteriously disappeared; °
her maid, when the disappearance became known, We have
no space to dwell. Probably the last supposition that
occured to any one was that so heavy a box bad beena.
quietly lifted from the top of the cab in the face of the
passers-by who were there, and of the police who show,'"
have been there. This part of the story we must leave w
the imaginations of our readers ; nor can we dwell at any
length upon the ingenious manner in which the trunk was
conveyed to the shop of ono Mr. Edward Jackson, an oil
and colourman in Leonard• street, Shoreditch and deposited
under his counter, as though it had been forwarded W
him in the regular course of business. The confederated
soon assembled in Mr. Jackson's back parlour. They
consisted of the three friends, Messrs. Whitty, Attwell,
and Stint already named, and of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
To give an idea of what followed it will be proper to
mention what was the real nature and what the value of
the property which was soon to bs tossed from hand to
hand in the little back parlour of the Shoreditch oilehop •
We take at random from the detailed account. a pearl
necklace, a diamond necklace, an emerald and diamond
necklace, a pair cf diamond earrings, a pair of emerald and
diamond earrings, a large pair of diamond branches, a
small pair of diamond branches, an emerald and diamond
bracelet, and so on throughout. Besides the jewelry there
were lace dresses, China shawls, velvet cloaks, Indian
scarfs, and other articles such as might naturally be
supposed to form part of the wardrobe of Lady Ellesmere
when. on her way to Windsor Castle. The back parlour,
then, in Leonard-street, Shoreditch, soon presented the
appearance of Aladdin's Cave ; but, like so many ignorant
Aladdins, the confederates conceived that the jewels Were
only PO • many bits of coloured glass or stone. X'
Attwell, indeed, appears to have had some dim sus'
picion of the reality, fa., as he took up a diamond
coronet, he exclaimed, " Wily, them things
.4',
sparks !" meaning diamonds ; but the better opinion
among the party was, that the fire of t' .e splendid jewels
was a mere sham. Mrs. Jackson, who might be supposed
to be better informed than her male companions as W
such feminine mysteries, gave it as asu gestion That
the lady who owned the articles must be a 'kind Of
fashionable woman." But it was necessary to proceed
to business, that is, to divide the spoil, and to convert it
into money. Whitty sold a diamond butterfly which bad
fallen to his share for 2s. to Mrs. Jackson, and also a lace
shawl at the Fame figure. The real value of the article
was about £5O. Other smaller portions of the property
were disposed of at similar prices, and in the same way'
Whitty, among his share of the spoil, obtained a pair e'
Lady Ellesmere's stays and linen, which " were all given
by him to a lady named ' Polly Gentleman " The
more serious discussion, however, was as 'to the value of
the great bulk of the spoil. Jackson believed the jewels
to be worth about £4o [he should have said £14,0001;
the others were completely-in the dark upon the subject
They finally resolved to go and consult a man named Sam
Britton, who seems to have been considered by them ass
kind of authority upon such subjects, as to the dresses'
To his house they were conducted by a gentleman named
" California ;" but, unfor unately, Mr. Britton was not 0
home, and it was not until a later p J.ioci of the evening
that they were able to commence their negociation. The
asked 4:15 for Lady Ellesmere's wardrobe, but Mr-
Britton steadily refused to give so exorbitant a sum, fla
finally closed with them for £3. The jewels were dise:‘,
of for sums of the like amount, with the exception, perberto
of the emera',d and diamond necklace, which, according ha
Jackson's acc,-;unt, was sold to a jaw for £3OO. When t a
reward for the apprehension of the thieves was offea

the confederates seem to have taken alarm, and Wt,t'

articles of great value were thrown away, lest they oh°

that Lady Ellesmere will recover any portion of
