"Gentlemen,—With reference to the report of the coin- Mates of investigation, to be presented to the meeting of S hareholders of the company this day, at 2 o'clock, I beg to state, on behalf of myself and co-vendors, that I only received a copy of the report yesterday morning, and that it is impossible the vendors could reply in one day to what has taken the committee three weeks to draw up, but that a reply will be prepared and submitted to the shareholders with all possible despatch. "4111 the vendors need state at present is that the re- Port of the committee is a tissue of misrepresentations, Illisquotations,.and of gross calumnies, which the vendors will be able to refute in the most complete andsatisfactory manner.

Silt,—lt is very much to bo regretted that a beneficent, and most valuable agent like chloroform should be over and again getting into disrepute amongst the public from mismanagement in its application, and the curious subjec tive dreamsit gives rise to in the patient's system—dreams of force and violence that have little or no existence but as dreams, but which so often mislead both judge and jury ! With a very large experience of some ten thousand per sons operated on under chloroform, I would say that its action is always very transitory, that it never leaves per manent bad results - but rather that on the contrary, as in many instances of such diseases as some forms of dropsy, cancer, aneurism, blindness, &c., all hitherto considered incurable, the permanent results of late have been so good as to astonish patient and surgeon alike.—Yours Sackville-streot, N ov. 15. CHARLES KIDD M.D. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE MARQUIS TOWNSHEND AND THE BEGGARs.—Mary Jukes, 9, was charged before Mr. Knox with bogging. The Marquis Townshend said that about 11 o'cl)ck last night ho saw the little girl leading about a blind man to every public-house in King-street, Bury-street, and the neighbourhood, and saw her beg and receive money from different persons, and being anxious to stop the practice of children leading about persons for the purpose of begging, he had caused her to be brought to the court. The girl's father was also begging, and he (the Marquis) might have charged him with begging also, but his object was that which he had stated. At the station the father admitted that about a fortnight ago he was taken to the Westminster Police Court, and informed that if he was taken there again his daughter would be taken from him. Campbell, 209 C, proved taking the girl into custody. Mr. Knox remanded the girl, and told the constable to make inquiries into her history. In the meantime the girl would be sent to the workhouse. John Cranney, 11, and Thomas Cranney, 8, brothers, were charged with begging, both being in a most deplor able state. Sergeant Bunco, 5 C., said that yesterday afternoon he saw the boys, and some others, begging in St. Martin's place, and, having seen them receive money from different gentlemen, he took them into custody. As the boys stated that they lived in Bedfordbury he went there and made inquiries, and ascertained that their father was dead and that their mother was a crossing -sweeper. They had a brother in the reformatory at Walthamstow. The boys had scarcely any home, the place being in a deplorable con dition. A man, who said he was the boys' stepfather, said he could do nothing with them. In answer to Mr. Knox it was said that tho boys were Roman Catholics. Mr. Knox said his hands were - tied with regard to Roman Catholic children, there being no place for them at present He understood that about Christmas there would bo a place where they could be sent to. Welsh, the office-keeper, drew the magistrate's attention to the fact, that the toes of one of the boys were nearly off, appearing to have been rotten off. Mr. Knox said he would remand the boys for the pre - sent, and ho would try and see whether they could not be sent to Feltham. Be thought that the best course that he could adopt, as it would give the boy an opportunity of having his foot attended to. The gaoler of the court would give them a good meal. John Alexander, another boy, was Charged with begging in Tottenham-court-road. The case was proved by Stoker, 741 A. The boy's father said he sent him out because they were driven for a loaf of bread, and the boy wont out to get a few halfpence. He gave his boy some matches to sell. Mr. Knox said that formerly persons used to send their children out to beg, giving them a few small things, such as matches, and the children escaped. Last session an act of Parliament was passed putting at end to the thing, and now whether the children were selling things or not they were equally liable, though perhaps it was not gene rally known. The constable must make inquiries into the father's and the boy's testimony, and report the result next week. In the meantime the boy would go to tho work house. THAMES. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Edward Bull, 36, and Charles Sturgess, 46, were charged with stealing a large quantity of ironmongery and other property from the Premises of Mr. Samuel Bradney, ironmonger, of 16, New road, St. George-in-the-East. Bull was described as a warehouseman, of 6, James-street, Old Ford-road, Bow, and Sturgess as a tarpaulin-maker, of 107, Pennington street, Ratcliff Highway. Yesterday evening, in consequence of instructions from Inspector Deady, of the H division, John Chester, 123 H, watched tho premises of Mr. Bradney, and saw the pri soner Sturgess come out with a new zinc pail containing rubbish. The prisoner carried the pail and rubbish on his arm as far as Pennington-street, when Ches ter accosted him, and said to him, " What have you there? To which he replied, " Only a little rubbish." H e took the prisoner into custody, and after locking him up went to Bull's dwelling, and there found a set of fire iron; smaller hinges, bolts, chisels, and other articles which the constable said were too numerous to mention. The whole of the goods were identified by Mr. Bradney. The pri soners, in their defence, said it had been the custom to remove the dust and rubbish from the prosecutor's house and premises in pails and baskets, to which Mr. Bradney gave a decided negative. The pail was a new one, and worth 2s. 9d. Bull said he had nothing to say about the property found in his house. The prisoners were committed for trial.

Mr. Rathmell, joiner, occupied the chair. Upwards of 3,000 men were present. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Potter, Upshall, Taylor, Strong, Henrietto, and Hughes, a deputation from the central committee of the trades delegates, and also by the general secretary of the demonstration, who detailed the progress which the movement was making, and the large number of trades who intended taking part in the demonstration. The meeting was then addressed by Messrs. Briston, mason, Sneeting, boilermaker, Callaghan, cooper, Bolt, shipwright, Holt, engineer, Middleton, rigger, and Hughes, the secretary of the Seamen's Welfare Society, who said that several thousand sailors intended taking part in the demonstration, an announcement which was received with loud cheering. Resolutions were unanimously adopted approving the demonstration, and pledging the meeting to support it, and a committee was appointed, selected from each of the trades present, to co-operate with the central committee. A vote of thanks to the chairman and depu tation concluded the proceedings of an enthusiastic meeting. Uncovering of the Statue.--(This Day). According to arrangements entered into some time since by the authorities, but not very generally made known beforehand to the public at large, this noble and beautiful memorial to Sir John Franklin and his gallant associates in the most famous of all our Arctic Expeditions was this afternoon formally unveiled and inaugurated. And, for once in a way, we have now at last had displayed to view in the public streets of the metropolis A National Monu ment that may be pronounced to be in every es sential respect, perfectly satisfactory. If a Monu ment that—to begin with—has been erected solely and wholly at the expense of the Nation, and in the name of the Government--and this in obedience to au unanimous vote of the Imperial Parliament. It is—besides this—well-placed so far as the actual site is concerned, though it would perhaps have been better if the back, no less than the front and sides of the monument, could have been inspected from the pavement of the splendid thoroughfare it adorns. It is, moreover, exquisitely designed and admirably well executed—the whole work as a work of art being not only complete in itself, but most harmoniously proportioned. The responsibility of designing this monument to Sir John Franklin, it may be remembered, was entrusted to Mr. Matthew Noble, the eminent sculptor, of Bruton-street, Mayfair, and this in accordance with the judi cious selection of the then First Commissioner of Public Works —Woods and Forests as they used to be called, Parks and Palaces as they are termed now—the Right Hon. William Cotvper. The Statue itself, which is of enduring bronze—being, moreover, an admirably conceived effigy no less than eight feet four inches in height—was cast at the foundry of the Messrs. Harrison and Company —the substantial pedestal upon which it has been erected being formed ,of a no less enduring ma terial, namely, of pelished granite, from the .works of the Messrs. Macdonald and Field. The evident notion of the sculptor, in designing this vera effigies of Sir John Franklin, is this —The moment selected for representation is the one in which Franklin had (as he is now known for certainty to have had !) the immense and indescrib able satisfaction of announcing to his officers and men—(though not one amongst them, alas ! was ever enabled to announce the same fact to the nation they one and all of them had thus served so well)—that the North-west passage had at last been discovered ! He is seen grasping in his hand telescope, chart, and compass I—he is arrayed, of course, in the uniform of a Naval Commander. But over the true blue he wears a loose outer -coat of fur, as a protec tion against the extreme inclemency of the Arctic climate. Having decided thus as to the fittest moment of all that he should select, the artist's endeavour has clearly been—and it is an object that he has accomplished with a truly surprising success, and one upon which he may be very heartily con gratulated—not only to indicate the character of Franklin in the statue itself, in its general aspect and demeanour, but to indicate, also, that is so far as possible by outward form, those inner qualities of the mind which enabled Sir John, by his deeds in life and by his example of heroic endurance in death, to add (as he has added) to the fame and glory of his country. The likeness is pro nounced—by the best authority of all, in regard to its accuracy, that is, by Lady Franklin herself, and by others who were no less intimately acquainted with her datintless husband—to be not only excel lent in its literal truthfulness of feature, but won derfully characteristic as well in the subtler expres sion of the countenance no less than in the general deportment. The bas-relief adorning the front of the pedestal is profoundly affecting in both theme and treatment. It represents the Funeral of Sir John Franklin—at which the Burial Service was read over that glori ous seaman's coffin by his brave second in command over the Expedition, Captain Crozier—thenceforth, of course, until his own lamented death, the head of it as Sir John's natural successor. Crozier, swathed in furs, stands there surrounded by the other surviving "officers and men of the two ill fated ships, the Erebus and the Terror. And gazing upon the group; there - comes to our memory, that thought from Campbell's Hohenlinden, that—there and then—each of them might have said could he but have had any prescience of the dreadful future before them— " _You ' shall part where many meet, The snow shall be their winding-sheet, And every ' clod' beneath their feet Shall be a Sailor's' sepulchre." For—not one out of their whole number, as is well known, was to survive, was ever fated to return ! Happily —now that this beautiful monument has been completed—their names,' the names of every one among them --the humblest tar and even the poor little ship's boys —are now, together with the famous name of their heroic Chief, recorded on the granite tides of the pedestal of this memorial monument to Sir John Franklin—and themselves ! Upon the north side the list of names there en graved are as follows : HER MAJESTY'S SHIP EREBUS. " They forged the last link with their lives." OFFICERS. v John Cowie John Morfin Sir J.

To the Great Aretie Navigator, And his‘Brave Companio ns , _ _ Who Sacrificed their Lives in Completing The Discovery of the North-West Passage, A.D. 1847. Erected by the unanimous vote of Parliament. It should be yet farther remarked that the pedestal is adorned in two other ways not yet particularized— having around tho cornice a representation in bronze of a large cable indioatiye of the m em orial wh i z Quo GRAND OrEnA.—There has been seldom seen at the French opera in modern times a more brilliant assembly than crowded evbry part .of the house on Monday night. lc was the solemn festival of the year, the first performance —not of a new opera by Verdi—but of a new ballet. Even in Italy, at the commencement of the ballet, the thousand tongues whose cackle has accompanied the strains of " Norma," or the " Traviata," was hushed, and it is with ears as well as eyes that this poem in motion is devoured. The imprudent barbarian who should utter a word during the performance of the pas seul or the pas de deux, which is the triumph of the chorographic art, would be silenced with a unani mous Chut!—the French pronunciation of " Shut up"—happy if he were not unceremoniously hustled to the door. In Italy one accounts for this by say ing to oneself that the nation is naturally so musi cal, that it was be allowed to repose its ears by throwing for a time all its soul into its eyes. But in France it is not necessary to have recourse to so fine-spun an argument. Here music, in the higher sense of the word, is the stranger, received with all that refined cordiality for which France is famous, but the ballet is indigenous. We have the music and librettos of the ballets in which the Great Monarch himself delighted to display his graces as Phoebus or Alexander, and Royal High nesses with ladies of the highest rank felt themselves honoured in appearing on the same boards with the Sultan of the age. Lulli's strains were sweet, but Louis's dancing, so tender, so majestic, so graceful, so awe-inspiring, touched every heart, and per suaded the most sceptical understanding. Poor Nero might be alive now, so far as his enemies are concerned, if, instead of fiddling and singing, he had only learned to dance so convincingly. The poetry of motion has saving graces, which, as he learned to his cost, the poetry of sound whether written or sung has not, for one cannot believe that his lyre was ill-attuned, and the only line that remains of his poetry describes the changing colours of a dove's neck with a truthful elegance which no descriptive lines in any language have equalled. Louis danced, and his dancing was such that the applause of his admiring subjects still rings in the ears of their descendants, and they have learned from it to appreciate the truly beautiful. No wonder, then, that the first appearance of the " Source" attracted on Monday night to the Academy of Music all those who love good dancing and fine scenery. May they never be fewer ! The house was crammed ; as splendid an assemblage as the dia monds and bright silks and darkened eyes and volu minous chignons of the fair sex could make it, heightened perhaps by the black mass to which the hideous costume of the day condemni the uglier sex who fill the orchestra and pit. Au act of Rossini's charming opera of the " Comte Ory" was performed with the slovenliness which the constant opening of doors and taking of places and the impatience of the audience authorised. There was a long pause ; at length music was heard with its voluptuous swell, there was a sound of subsiding into seats. The gene ral rustle which precedes silence, and all nature was hushed as the prelude or overture ended, and the curtain drew up. It is now that the part of the chronicler becomes difficult. A long description is necessary to explain the complicated gyrations of the story for those who are not so fortunate as to havp any hope of ever seeing the " Source," and a still longer one for those who, going to see it, wish to know what it all means. There may be some to whom it is quite indifferent. The first scene is a mountain pass, a luxuriant vegetation springs among the creeper-covered rocks from which a silver stream pours down. There is poetry in the picture, half-shrouded as it is by the morn ing twilight, and there was justice in the ap plause which greeted it. Elves and fairies and goblins dance round the stream, whose waters give life to the scene. At daybreak they disappear and leave the world to sunshine and to man. The first who appears is Ojemil, a hunter, followed by a witch, who, ignorant of Horace and Juvenal, chooses daybreak instead of midnight to gather the deadly drugs with which to poison the stream from which Djemil has just drunk. He prevents her, and she retires with humble seeming but anger in her soul, after reading his fortune in his palm. As she departs a caravan approaches; it is the new bride of a mighty Khan. They halt near the fountain for repose. A bright flower grow ing on the rock which overhangs the stream catches the bride's eye, but there is no one in her suite hardy enough to gather it. Djemil comes forward, offers to risk the ad venture, reaches the flower, seizes it, but at the same mo ment the creepers on whose withes he was supported give way, and he is precipitated into the stream. But he is not lost, he soon reappears with the flower in his hand, which the bride deigns only to receive through the hands of one of her slaves. Djemil refuses the purse offered in pay ment, with sacrilegious hand he draws aside the bride's veil, and pays himself with a glance at her charms. A fatal glance, not because he is at once seized, bound with the strong, branches of the creepers, and then left b die in the solitude, but because he is struck with love. The ca ravan departs, it is in vain to wrestle with the bonds, stronger than cords, which confine him, the fever-thirst of anguish assails him, but there is rescue at hand. The stream comes to his aid, its waters spread, the fountain nymph appears, she makes a sign, and he is free—not free, but loved where he does not love, and love-sick without return. The grateful nymph, whose waters he had pre served from the pollution of the witch, gives him the ta lismanic flower to which her own fate is linked, and com mends him to her attendant spirits. In the second act we are in the gardens of the Khan's palace, where he and all his wives anxiously await the arrival of the new favourite. There is a little dancing to beguile the time, the Khan is impatient. At last the trumpet sounds, she approaches, ar rives, and they dance again. Another bugle. 'Tis Djemil, now a noble signor, attended by the goblin to whose care the nymph has consigned him. The slaves who follow him carry rich presents, Orient pearls, and glittering diamonds. Among them is the flower which had already attracted the bride's attention; she is joing to take it, but Djemil pre vents her. That flower is a talisman more precious than diamonds and pearls, and he proves its power by throwing it into a clump of trees. On the instant their foliage seems to liquify into a stream, in which the lovely . nymph ap pears. A look suffices to show the Khan that she is more beautiful than his new bride and all his old ones together. To gain her hand he consents to dismiss his whole harem. The haughty beauty and her brother take their departure, followed by the witch, who had accompanied, and who now promises to avenge them. The third act opens in her tent. Her magic charms bring Djemil to her door. The brother will now avenge her, when the cast-off bride has disarmed him—a task in which she employs herself with the alacrity of insulted vanity. She and the witch disarm him ; she brings him to her feet. At this moment the nymph reappears, to witness the ingratitude of him she had saved. The brother, with his attendants, surprises Djemil at his sister's knees, and he only does not kill him on the spot because the sti'l tender nymph has pity. A. magic torpor paralyses his assailants, and ho departs, fol lowed, unconsciously, by Nouredda (the ex-bride), whose somnambulism is of the true peripatetic sort. The last scene is in the mountain gorge in which the ballet opened, but its beauty is departed. The dancing was as meritori ous as the present gynastic style will allow, and Madlle. Salvioni, the nymph, danced up to her reputation. ROYAL ACADEMY.—The annual course of lectures on anatomy to the students of th© above institution was commenced on Monday last by Professor Partridge, F. 8.5., President of the College of Surgeons, and will be delivered every Monday until the 17th of December. Sir Edwin Landseer took the chair, and was surrounded by several Royal Academicians and members of . t he learned profes sions. SALE OF HER MAJESTY'S F AT OXEN IN WINDSOR PARK.—On Wednesday Messrs. Buckland and Sons, the well-known auctioneers, of Windsor, disposed of a number of fat horned Scotch oxen, which have been fatted in Windsor Great Park. The sale took place, by order of her Majesty's commissioners, in meadows adjoining the park, the highest price obtained being £2B 10s., and the average .E 25 per head. Owing to the Attie plague, and the consequent difficulty of purchasing fresh animals, the num ber for disposal was less this year than last. Among the buyers were Messrs. Bedborough, Copeland, Webb, Hutchings, and Boswell, of Windsor ; Timber and Mason, Slough ; Statham, Datchet ; Hampton Court i and Crocker, Bracknell. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER - 15, 1866. 'his Bay. I Business done. THE FRANKLIN MEMORIAL. commemorative of a Sailor—while the bronze mould ing at the plinth is enriched with a twining garland of oak-leaves and acorns, denoting by the laws of symbolism both strength and magnanimity. The Memorial, as will be seen now, therefore is complete in the fullness of its significance. It is the finished epitome—in bronze and granite—of a whole adven turous and heroic life. It is a fitting commemora tion of a glorious expedition, undertaken for the advancement of human knowledge--the record of a nation's gratitude to the memory of those by whose valour and endurance was successfully carried out a fatal but triumphant enterprise. The one name, the onememory naturally dominating over all others being, as a matter of course, that of Sir John Franklin, the glorious leader of the Expedition.

NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. The following appeared in our Third Edition cf yeiter• day evening : SHREWSBURY.
