I Love the Summer Blossoms. Ballad, composed
by J. W. Cherry.
Flowers, Sweet Flowers. Son; written by Andrew,
Park, composed by W. It. Montgomery.
I Dream of Thee. Composed by Stephen Glover.
There's Light behind the Cloud. Sacred song, by
Mrs. Mackinlay.
Trois Amusements de lOpera Luisa
J. T. Stone.
Willie, we have Missed You. Arranged for the
pianoforte, by Brinley Richards.
The Bloom is on the Rye. Arranged by Brinley
Richards.
D'Almaine and Co., New Bond-street.
Some of these musical novelties will be ve}y
acceptable to the amateur. The two first on the
list are pretty ballads, suited to a voice of moderate
compass and a vocalist of average ability.
" Flowers, Sweet Flowers," has the advantage in
sprightliness and originality. "I dream of Thee,"
written by Maurice Gottheimer, and composed by
Stephen Glover, belongs to the favourite class of
sentimental songs, but the melodious accompani-
ment redeems it from insipidity. " There's Light
behind the Cloud," is a sacred song, in which the
moral purpose of the writer is more worthy of com-
mendation than either the verse or the music. The
airs from Luisa Miller are simply and prettily
arranged for the piano by J. T. Stone. The third
air is the most melodious, but they are pleasantly
varied in their character. Mr. Brinley Richards
has arranged the favourite air which the
Christy Minstrels have made so popular, as a mor-
mate for the piano. It is less formidaFle than maul
of his arrangements, and is likely to become a great
favourite among our fair pianist% Sir Henry
Bishop's well.known air, "My pretty Jane," has
also been arranged by Mr. Brinley Richards, under
the title of "The Bloom is on the Rye." This
arrangement is more elaborate than that of
" Willie, we have missed you," but it is in the
composer's characteristic style, and those who are
accustomed to his peculiarities will find no great
difficulty in acquiring it, while the beauty of the air
will well repay them for the task.

SIR .1011 N FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

SlR,—The experience of Capt. M'Clintock is :0
great in all Arctic matters that, on such account
alone, and saying nothing of my sincere esteem for
him, I should hardly venture to publicly put for'
ward any opinion different to his. Indeed, to do so
is more than likely to get my remarks considered
in a way not perhaps complimentary to myself.
But, sir, the cause of our long lost countrymen is as
p3werful within me now as it has been for year
past ; and though my experience has not been equal
to that of Capt. M'Clintock in Arctic service, it has
been equal to most men, and surpassing many men
in a knowledge of mankind in a wild life abroad'
and in circumstances where compelled to ae:
pend upon self alone. Hence I do still moat
earnestly plead for those of the crews of the
Erebus and Terror, whom I firmly believe to be
yet alive amongst the Esquimaux. In the name,
then of the friends and relatives of Sir John Frank;
lin's petty officers and seamen as yet unaccounted
for I beg your insertion of this letter in their he"
half.
Perhaps you may differ with my view of the
question ; but, sir, consider how very many time!
strong opinions have been given by eminent me'
„
that nothing more than what was discovered 11"
1850 would ever be heard of the lost expedition:
Consider how many said they went everywhere btb
there where it appears they did go ; and, also, h°
iv
more utterly repudiated the locality where
it is now proved they could have been found. 0
Therefore I again and again urge the extra%
probability that some may yet be found alive, a%
assuredly that stronger facts than any we yet WI
may be discovered respecting them. ot
My arguments at present would be too long
trouble you with. I have long studied this (1.05
tion, and have carefully analysed the whole of t, t
blue-books upon the subject. Briefly, however, let
me say, that it is well known one or two of that
crew were inclined to a life amongst the Esquinial,
I have a strong idea where they may be folio.,
I have always had the same idea, and the variore
rumours obtained through the wild tribes on tun,
coast of continental America all refer to somethia;

The Nessager de Bayonne publishes the follow-
ing About three months ago the Duke of Olden-
burg. received at Paris a letter signed by one of the
''reat names of the French aristocracy, requesting
the honour of an audience. The application was
granted, and at the appointed hour a dashing young
officer was ushered in, who introduced himself by
stating that his experience in the battle-fields of
the Crimea had made him acquainted with the
noble qualities of the Russians, and convinced him
that he might safely trust to one of them for
assistance in his present difficulties. IN stated
that he was paymaster to a regiment, and
having., been imprudent enough to lose at play
4,800 i. belonging to the regimental funds, he was
Most awkwardly situated for the moment. He
trusted the duke would assist him, and the money
shuuld be repaid in a few days. The duke at once
handed him two rolls of napoleons of I,ooof. each,
from which the young officer returned him 200 f.,
and then took leave. Two days after, when getting
into his carriage, the duke saw a livery servant give
a letter to the porter. Tho letter was handed to the
duke on the spot, and proved to be a well-written
epistle
from the young officer thanking him for his
kindness. The servant ,bore a most extraordinary
idleness to the officer, but the duke did not see him
again. When at Biarritz this summer the duke
Mentioned this adventure in presence of several gen-
tlemen, one of whom was the Duke of San Lucar.
Some days back this last-named nobleman received
a letter from a person requesting an audience. The
duke appointed the evening for the interview, and
remembering the Duke of Oldenburg's visitor, re-
quested the attendance of the Mayor of Biarritz
andll. the commissary of police. The your, officer
asPutictual, and was at once introduced to the
authorities 2, in waiting. He was at first somewhat
a 1 concerted, but soon recovered his assurance, and
declared.. himself to be the aide-de-camp of the in-
'apteotor-general of the fore-m who had just arrived
Bayonne. He was called upon to give up his
rd and to accompany the commissary to the pre-
sence, of the chief. When in the carriage, however,
nate told the public functionary to take him to prison
once, as it was no use looking for a general who
had no existence. The prisoner proved to be the
bvery man who had swindled the Duke of Oldenburg,
ut asam yet the police have not been able to learn his
real ne

CRIMINAL COURT.--(TIIIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.)
(Before the Recorder.)
The October sessions of the Central Criminal Court com-
menced at the Old Bailey this morning before the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen Hale, Lawrence, Gabriel (Sheriff), Phil-
•
lips (Sheriff), the Recorder, and the Undersheriffs;
Messrs. Egleton and Gammer.

The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the ca-
lendar for the present session contained a large number of
cases of a serious description, but not more than usually
was the case at this period of the year. The first case to
which he would call their attention was that (,f Sarah Jane
Wiggins, who was indicted for the wilful murder of a child,
with whose father she was cohabiting. It appears by the
depositions that the prisoner was in the habit of correcting
the children, and it would be for them to say whether the
death of the child was caused by an excess of punishment.
The woman was in the habit of tying the child to the bar
of the bedstead, where it remained all night in a horizontal
position, and -death by apoplexy was the result. The fury
would have to consider whether the evidence which; world
be placed before them was such as would .justif'y them in
returning a true bill against the prisoner. The law was
plain and conclusive on thie point, and by It a parent cer-
tainly had the right to administer a certe'in amount of cor-
rection as punishment, but in the event of death ensuing
from any excess, then such person committed an offence
against the law, and a jury would have to decide whether
such offense was murder or manslaughter. To place and
leave a child in the position of that of the unfortunate
deceased for a considerable time was inhuman, and a person
doing so must be aware that death was likely to ensue ; but
it was for the grand jury to say whether the facts as they
appeared on the depositions amounted to either wilful mur-
der or the less serious offence of manslaughter. The next
charge to which he wished to draw their attention was that
of manslaughter against a person named Hannah Harvey.
The woman was a pauper, and in the month of September
she was admitted into the workhouse, where she remained
until the 4th of October, when she, with her infant, which
was about five months' old, left of her own accord. In
a short time she was brought back for 'begging, but the
nest day she again left and remained out the whole of the
night, which turned out very wet and cold. The next
morning a surgeon saw the child, and the mother and in-
fant again entered the workhouse, but the latter died about
two hours after its admission, from the effects of the expo-
sure and want of food. The natural nourishment of the
child failed with the mother, no doubt, from fever, brought
on during the night time, but as it appeared in evidence
that she had means of procuring food, and did procure
some for herself, it would be for the jury to determine
whether the death of the child occurred through any cri-
minal neglect, and, if so, did it amount to the crime of man-
slaughter. Another case to which he wished to direct their
attention was that of Edward Keef and James Turner, who
were indicted with administering poison, with intent to
murder. The poison administered was sugar of
lead, placed in some beer by one of the prisoners,
and the person who had escaped death was
no other than his wife. The law was extremely defective
touching the admistsring poison with intent, &c., but the
depositions, which were very full, would enable them to say
whether the prisoner's ought to be placed upon their trial
for the offence. There were two other cases of attempting
to destroy human life--the first was that of discharging a
loaded gun at a gamekeeper, and the other was that of stab-
bing a policeman in the eye. As both people narrowly
escaped death, the jury would no doubt give the evidence
their most serious attention. Thero was one other case
which might be brought before them, but as he had not yet
received the depositions he was precluded in some measure
from adverting, but as it was more than likely they would
have to consider it, ho would just address a few words to
them on the case. It was a charge, arising out of the
recent strike in the building trades, of conspiring to intimidate
workmen who lied undertaken to work for a certain master.
He did not know whether the evidence would be sufficient
to meet the case, but he wished to tell the jury what the law
was, in order that they might be able to deal with the case.
There could be no doubt whatever that by the statute passed
in the reign of George IV. perfect freedom was given to
masters and workmen as to what wages one should give
and the other receive ; but it was provided by that statute
that it should be an offence for any person to prevent others
from taking work with any master or for any wages, either
by intimidation or molesting them. The word molesting was
no doubt somewhat ambiguous, but it had been rendered more
so by an act passedlast session, by whickit was provided that
it shall not be considered molesting by merely endeavouring
peaceably to persuade in a reasonable manner, without
threat or intimidation, direct or indirect, others from work-
ing. Anything beyond this would still remain an offence
punishable by law. Then, supposing such to be the case,
the jury would have to consider whether there was suffi-
cient evidence to show that persons had been prevented
from working, either by threat or molestation. There was
nothing else to which he need call their attention, so the
grand jury would please retire to their room, and enter on
the performance of their duty.
The Grand Jury then retired.
THE CASE OF ROYAL.

Mr. Sleigh asked the Recorder whether he would have
any objection to fix the trial of Frederick Royal for Thurs •
day next. He understood the Solicitor-General was com-
ing down to conduct the prosecution, and that day would
suit all parties.

The Recorder—There are two cases of murder. The case
of Ann Waugh, he thought, would be taken on that day.
Mr. Sleigh—Waugh's case could be taken on Wednes-
day, and Royal's on Thursday. If such an arrangement
was made, it would enable all the witnesses to be in early
attendance.

The Recorder—Very well, wo will fix tho trial of Royal
for Thursday next.

CUTTING AND WOUNDING.

A respectably-dressed man named Lawrence Duckworth
Barlow surrendered to an indictment charging him with
cutting and wounding Harriet and William Edwards on the
25th of August last. •

The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Cooper conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh
defended the prisoner.
Hannah Edwards—l live at No. 3, Shoemaker-row,
Blackfriars. My husband is a mechanics' labourer. The
prisoner resides at the Blackfriars School, and his wife
is governess there. He threw a pail of water over my
child and several ether little ones, and on seeing it I
came down stairs. I found the prisoner outside, and
saw him strike a woman with his hands. A mob got
round him, and I then saw him with a life-preserver in his
hand, and ho began to use it. He struck me with it on the
chest. I did not see any blade in the weapon he struck me
with, but I felt some sharp instrument pierce me, and I
thought it was my stay-bone, and that my ribs were broken.
I thought it was a policeman that pulled the blade from
my chest. He did not say anything when he struck me.
He knocked me down first, but 1 do not know what with,
for I was quite stunned. I was taken to the hospital.
Cross-examined—This occurred in an inclosed space. Pri-
soner has frequently thrown water overmy children for being
there during the last twelve months. I know he has struck
them before. I have been bound ever to keep the peace
towards him before Alderman Phillips.
Edward Langford, of 3, Shoemaker-row, said he saw the
prisoner strike the old man (Mr. Edwards) over the
shoulder with the life-preserver. I saw Mrs. Edwards
outside the school•gate, and in the squabble I saw the pri-
soner knock her down. With the assistance of the police
I got her into my shop, and there took from the left side of
her chest this blade, which was broken off the end of the
life preserver, and buried in a slanting direction to the
depth of six inches in her chest. There was only half an
inch of the blade projecting, and some one drew my atten-
tion to it, and I thought it was only a stay-bone. I saw
him take the life-preserver from a side pocket, and put the
string round his wrist before using it.

Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
called a number of witnesses who gave it as their opinion,
having seen the disturbance, that he was the injured party.
The jury had not returned their verdict when we went
to press.

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—Au inquest was held on
Saturday by Mr. Humphreys, on the body of a man believed
to be Mr. Thomas Williams, Baptist minister, of Shorn-
brook, Bedfordshire. Ho had taken apartments at 31,
Charles-street, St. Luke's, and had resided there two
months without his name being known, and it appeared it
had been carefully obliterated from everything in his pos-
session. He was found on Wednesday hanging to
the post of a French bedstead by a rope, but in such a po-
sition that he could have saved himself if he had pleased.
In his pockets bank notes to the amount of £25 were found,
and, ultimately, a small plate was found engraved " Thomas
Williams, Shornbrook, Bedfordshire," which led to his
identity. Verdict, temporary insanity.

POLICE IIir2'ELLIGENCE.-(TRIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MORE or THE I XHIBITION OF THE OFFENSIVE
CARICATURE.—SOMETHING LIKE MOB •LA.W.—EXTRAOR-
DINARY CASE.—Charles Richards, a musician, was charged
with annoying Mr. Frederick Putnam, fishmonger, of 3,
Market-street, by playing a violin, and with causing an
obstruction.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great ' Marlborough-street, ap -
peared for the complainant, and having referred to the case
(which was fully reported in. our columns on Saturday),
respecting an offensive caricature exhibited in the window
of Mr. Flower, of the White Hart, reflecting on Mr.
Martin, an eating-house-keeper, and Mr. Putnam the present
complainant, who said that on Saturday night the pziscner
Richards went to the house of Mr. Flower and commenced
playing his violin, having with him a female playing on a
harp. A mob of about 500 persons assembled, the greatest
disturbance prevailed, and if a stop was not put to it the
persons complaining would have to give up business.
• Mr. Putnam said he requested the prisoner to go away,
when a large number of persons assembled-300 or 400—
began hooting and yelling at him and Mr. Martin, the
.cat-
-1 ing-house keeper. The prisoner moved a short distance,
but as soon as Sergeant Mills, 4 E, had left, returned and
began playing again.. Mr. Flower then took the prisoner
into his house as another constable camo up, and afterwards,
the prisoner came out and began playing again. Mr. Flower
came to the door and addressed the people, calling him (Mr.
Putnam) and Mr. Martin villains, &c. Ultimately the pri •
soner refusing to desist playing was taken into custody.
L:nk, 58 E, proved seeing a mob of 500 or GOO peoPle
assembled at the time. There was hooting and Telling. He
told the prisoner he was causing a disturbance, and pre-
venting tradesmen carrying on their basines,,.
Sergeant Mills, 4 E, said there was a vp,ry great disturb-
ance at the time. He told the prisonP;r to leave, and ho
said he would, but Mr. Flower tool him ty the arm and
told him to "play away, play r.say." He was obliged to
put extra men on from ten 4' ',dock till one in consequence
of the disturbance.

Mr. Beadon said he
bound to go when d "uad told him before that he was
defiance of the la-. rsirod to do so ; but if set himself in
the person who and Mr. Flower, who was said to be
set him on, thOught proper to pay the fine,
ho could do r.,0.
The
place Pri° oner said he had played for 14 years at the same
iie played a couple of tunes, and Mr. Putman told
hin to go away. He went and played in front of Mr. Rey-
no)ds' shop, and ho was then giveu into custody. Ho
'dished to know what he was to do.

Mr. Beadon—When they tell you to go, and your play-
ing creates a crowd and disturbance, and Mr. Flower tells
you to play on, you are endangering the peace of the metro-
polis, and when the constables tell you to go, you are bound
to do so. I shall fine you 405., or a month ; and if Mr.
Flower likes to pay the fine he can do so. Mr. Flower
stands some little chance of losing his licence, I think.

Richard Hubbard, a lad, was then charged with assault-
ing Mr. Putnam, while the circumstances giving rise to the
preceding case were going on, by what is commonly called
" bonneting" him (i.e., knocking his hat over his eyes).
The case was proved by Mr. Putnam, Beech 87 E, and
Link 58 E, and prisoner was fined 405., or a month.
Mr. Beadon, alluding to the two cases, said—lt is most
outrageous, and must be stopped. It was mob law, and
nothing else, and will have to be put down with a very high
hand. If I had not already passed the sentence of 40s. or
a month, I would have imposed a fine of Xi or two months,
so as to give him a chance of appeal.
The affair has given rise to the greatest excitement in
the neighbourhood. Large crowds assembly to inspect the
caricature, and great annoyance to the different tradesmen
has been caused thereby.

A summons has been granted against Mr. Flower for
the exhibition of the caricature.

DESTROYING PLATE GLASS.—Catherino Bryant, alias
Leary, a tall and strapping woman, was brought b. fore Mr.
Selfe, charged with creating a disturbance in the Bird-in-
Hand public-house, Bow, Middlesex.
Mr. Francis Thornton, the landlord of the Bird-in-Hand,
said the prisoner came to his house on Saturday night and
called for a quartern of rum, and after she had put her fin-
gers in the liquor asked him to change it. He refused to do
so, and she made use of the most horrible threats and lan-
guage, and threw part of the rum over a gentleman's back.
After some trouble ho ejected her from the house, and she
then threatened to have his life, and said if sho had to wait
20 years she would murder him. After more bad language,
she took up a large stone and deliberately hurled it against
a largo pane of plate glass, which was broken to pieces. It
measured three feet eleven inches by fifteen inches, and its
value was 18s.

Mr. Selfe— I wish you publicans would not have such
expensive plate glass in your shop fronts. I shall fine the
prisoner 10s. only, and in default of payment 14 days' im-
prisonment. If she pays the 10s. it will be given to the
prosecutor.

The prisoner—l won't pay the money.
14 days.

I will do the

Eliza Maxley was charged with breaking a pane of plate
glass in the Black Swan public-house, Bow.
Mr. Francis Penny, landlord of the Black Swan, said the
prisoner came there on Saturday night, made a disturbance,
and broke a pane of glass with a stone. Ho valued the
glass at 10s.

Mr. Selfe—l see by the police-sheet that you valued
your pane of plate glass at 7s. Gd. on Saturday night.
Mr. Penny—l said from 7s. Gd. to 10s.

Mr. Selfe—The women in Bow appear to have a great
spite against publicans' plate glass. The prisoner is fined
7s. 6d., and in default 10 days' imprisonment.

PRINCE ARTHUR AND THE FAIR " FLOWER
GIRL."—An anecdote is told in connection with the recent
departure of the Queen and Royal family from Edinburgh,
on their way south. As the sheriff of Edinburgh stood in
shrieval dignity on the platform of the railway station a
lady sought audience of him. It was granted, and the
lady proceeded to tell him that she had a little girl with
liar who was deeply in love with Prince Arthur, and that
nothing on earth would satisfy her short of presenting
Prince Arthur with a bouquet. The sheriff pondered a
moment, but was afraid he had not jurisdiction sufficient
for the proposed presentation of the bouquet ; however, he
would see. ACcordingly he entered the Royal carriage and
explained the matter to the Queen, pointing out to her the
expectant young lady, who stood, a bewitching little crea-
ture, all blushes, hopes, and fears on the platform. ler
Majesty, with the utmost promptitude, declared her willing-
ness for the bouquet scene, and said she would not for a mo-
ment "come between the two." Whereupon the sheriff re-
turned with the welcome tidings, and little Miss— step-
ping forward with the grace of Ferraris, presented her
flowers, with a charming consciousness beaming_ from her
child-face, which no doubt the youthful prince fully appro.-
ciated.—.Fife acrald.
