The Late Medic 11 Trial.—Chlort. form.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

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.

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." He
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.

TRADES REFORM MEETING AT LIMEHOUSE.—Last
evening a densely crowded meeting of the engineers,
shipwrights, boiler makers, ship riggers, and coopers of the
east end of London, was held at the Burdett-hall, Lime-
house, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
taking part in the Trades Reform Demonstration on the
3d of December. 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 :

At the back of the pedestal—only capable of exami-
nation, unfortunately, from the garden of the Athe-
na urn Club hou
s
e—the adornment consists of an
embossed bronze chart of the Arctic Regions—re-
cording,oss among other names, those of 111'Clintock's
Channel, of Victoria Straits, and of Prince
Albert's Laud—showing at a single glance, in
fact, the actual position of the two ships
and of their crews at the time of Franklin's
death. Beneath the affecting bas-relief in front—the
character of whiCh has already been defined, and
the beauty of which cannot be too highly com-
mended—appears the following brief but most touch-
ing and impressive inscription :

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—

of a large cable indioatiye of the memorial whiz 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 .the learned profes-
sions.
SALE OF HER MAJESTY'S FAT 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.
