LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.
Tuk Work which more than any other Is making
a Rendition this season is Mr. Dai win's book on
"The Expression of the Emotions in Man and
Animals," which will soon be published here by D.
Appleton A Co. Mr. Darwin's discussions of the
principles which control the actions of animals are
really wonderful, if not always satisfactory. An
instance is bis principle of antithesis, by which he
mean* the relaxation or tension of muscles in ex
pressing opposite feelings. He avgues that ex
pressions in animals either result directly from
serviceable acts or arc the indirect results of ser
viceable acts, and he goes so lavas to assert that
some forms of expression, at first useful, have be- ,
come nereditarv. His work is full of striking theo- >
rles Ingeniously argued and It shows a singular 1
and profound knowledge of animal life, which can- j
not but prove uaefttl In the study of the expression j
of emotion.
A New Volume relating to Lord Byron, edited <
by Mr. H. S. Shulters-Young and published by j
Bcntley, will soon be issued in London. It con
tains many of Byron's letters never before printed,
among them letters to bis mother which put his
character in a pleasing light, so far as regards liJs
affection for her. There are also letters to a
Miss , evidently one of his lady loves, and un
published letters from Keats, Shelley and Sir
Walter Scott. Then follow "attributed" letters
from Lord Byron to many distinguished persons,
which are said to be very interesting and appar
ently genuine.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER EMMA.
CINCINNATI. Dec. 10. 18M
The steamer Emma caught Are while on Shawnee
town bar, below Kvansvllle, Ind., yesterday, and in
' a few minutes the whole forward part of her cabin
was in names. The steamer Camella. wnich was
coming up at the time, sent her yawls to assist in
rescuing the passengers and crew, some of whom
had been precipitated iu the water by the upsetting
of the Emma's yawl.
Two children and a woman were rescued as thev
were sinking the last time. It is believed that all
the passengers and crew were saved.
The boat was totally destroyed and was valued
at $12,000. Her cargo, consisting of furniture,
whiskey and poultry, was probably worth $25,000.
The insurance is unknown.

Anderson's Actions.
The trial or Dr. Lucius H. Irish for the alleged
murder of Assistant Assessor Edward O. Anderson
was resumed in the Court of Oyer and Terminer,
Brooklyn, yesterday morning. The court room
was crowded throughout the day.
Previous to the opening of the regular proceed
ings Mr. Tracy, of prisoner's counsel, said:?It be
comes my duty to call the attention of this court
to an article which I was pained to read In lu one
of the Brooklyn papers last night on the subject of
this trial. At the close of the proceedings of yes
terday Your Honor cautioned this jury that they
were not to allow any person to converse with
them on the subject of this trial during the recess;
but of what avail Is such an admonition as that
from the Bench to the Jury If newspapers
arc to be permitted to publish not only what
transpires In the court room In regard to the
trial (to which we have no objection), but Inter
pose in these articles statements which are un
true ; not only untrue In lact, but which are wick
edly and maliciously talse. The article which I
call attention to I affirm could have been written
and published for no other purpose except in the
hope of prejudicing this Jury against this de
fendant, who Is now on tilal for his Hie. In a
cause of this great Importance It seems to me that
it becemes the duty of this Court to protect the
administration of Justice from
SUCH AN OUTRAGE
as that which has been perpetrated upon It in the
publication of this article. Not only are the state
ments false, but this article contains a statement
from a relative of the deceased which the
writer of the article knew could never be Intro
I duced In evidence before this Jury, and states in
1 the article that he knew It, and because it could
not be Introduced before Jury legally, and because It
could never be permitted to see light on this trial, it
is surreptitiously published In this newspaper in the
hope that some members of this jury would read it
and be influenced by it, 1 ask this Court?1 call
the attention of the Court to this proceeding?in
the hope that it will take measures of its own mo
tion to preserve the administration of justice fiom
such influences as this during the pendency of this
trial hereaiter, and I give notice, not onjy to the
writer of this article, but to the editor of this
paper, that U this offence is repeated I will move
this Court that they be
committed Kon contempt
of the Court in publishing sucn articles as this.
District Attorney Brltton?It does not perhaps
become me to sn.v anything upon this subject, but
1 will make a remark. While it is true, in my
judgment, that it was not in good taste or proper,
uucler the circumstances of the case, that any pub
lication other than the proceedings of the trial
should take place In any newspaper, j?t I cannot
believe that the inferences drawn by the learned
counsel are correct. I cannot believe that the
editor or writer of this or any other newspaper
could possibly have any merest, much more any
desire to prejudice any one In a case of this mag
nitude and Importance to all the parties con
cerned. 1 unite with the counsel my request that
tfieic shall be no comments upon this trial nor
upon the proceedings until the trial Is concluded.
It would be a lair presumption that
T1IIS JURY WOULD NOT READ ANYTHING
upon this subject alter the caution expressed by
the Court. 1 presume that none ot the Jurors have
read a word that the counsel has referred to.
Judge Pratt characterized the publication as
very Improper and an unwarranted interference
with the course of justice. If men are to pe tried
at all they should have a fair and impartlaltrial by
jury, and not be tried out of Court by the news
papers. It Is
NO NEW TniNO
in the administration of justice. W hile I hold
court If an'it her instance oi this kind occurs an at
tempt mil be made to sec whether there is any law
that will srivelpartica a fair trial in CourtBo! justice.
The article referred to was the article of Mary I.

Dr. Peter W. Leyes, a druggist at Jay and Fulton
streets, had once seeu Anderson under the influ
ence of liquor. Dr. Leyes, who was present at the
house on the day of Anderson's death, described
the indications about the suflterer, and stated that
while he was absent going for Dr. Thayer Anderson
died.
On the cross-examination witness stated that
the night previous he had put up a prescription
for Anderson of one ounce or the solution of mor
phia and live grains of the sugar of lead, and he
presumed it was prescribed lor the purpose of
controlling the vomiting, giviug freedom fToui
pain, inducing sleep and allaying the irritability
of the stomach. Dr. Irish wrote the prescription;
it was repeated the next day; he saw Dr. Irish at
his store the next day; wttue?s suggested a con
tinuance of the giving of the champagne to Ander

on the afternoon or her husband's death, he slated
that she was very alTectlouate, and received tho

Bernard Mulholland, or the Appraiser's office, In
the Custom House, knew Anderson about eighteen
months and never saw him intoxicated, but had
seen him under the lnnueuce of liquor ubout once
a week during the last lour months or his lile; he
was at Anderson's house about llfteen minutes on
the alternoon or his death aud talked with liliu;
Andersou had a grilling in the stomach and vomited
a little: Anderson aid not complain or uny pain on
the previous Saturday when liy was in Kearney's.
A recess was then taken uulil two o'clock, Jud?e
Pratt cautioning the jurors not to rcud or converse
ubout the case.
After the recess undertaker Ucnung, who offici
ated at Andersou's funeral on Friday, said he de
livered the body to the baggage master at the
Forty-second street depot, New York; be saw Mrs.
Andersou at the house, when she manifested great
grief.
THE BEAD MAN'S RKOTI1 ICR.
John P. Anderson, of Yonkers, a brother of the
deceased, was present at the luneral and accom
panied the remains iroiu Brooklyn to Yonkers,
where the interment took place in St. John's Ceme
tery. lie witnessed the intermcut and recognized
the body when It was brought back to Brooklyn
and placed In the Morgue on the uth of May.
TUB 1'OST-MOHTKU EXAMINATION.
Dr. A. W. Shepnrd, of 124 Willouphby street, a
physician and surgeon of ten years' experience,
made a post-mortem examination of Anderson's
body on the 9th of May last. Professor Doremus
and son, Coroner Whitehill and others were
present. The Doctor proceeded to detail the re
sult by the post-mortem and the removal of the
stomach aud intestines. Professor Doremus took
them aud removed the contents of the stomach for
analyzatlon. The post-mortem showed that there
was
NO ORGANIC DISEASE
perceptible. The aggregate ol symptoms described
by other witnesses he had heard occurred In (uses
of death from arsenic.
At half-pant two o'clock Mr. Brltton said that
Protessor Foreruns could not possibly attend that
day, aud that he could not proceed any lurtlier lie
lore he had examined the Professor, without break
ing in on the line or proof he had established, and
he was compelled to ask lor an adjournment. No
objection was offered by counsel for defence, aud
the Court thereupon adjourned until this morning
at half-past nine o'clock.
Dr. Irish Newark.
It is a singular fact that scarcely a tragedy or
occurrence of note takes place In which the city
of Newark Is not in some way or other locally
interested. It was from there poor Alice Bowlsby
came. It was from there "Admiral" Nelson came.
Two of the survivors of the ill-fated Missouri, sea
men, also hall from there, and now It appears that
Dr. Irish drags her Into his case. On the 10th or Inst
April a gentlemanly looking Individual, with u lad.v
dressed in black, visited the city anil stopped ut
the Park House. He put his name on the register
as Williams, and, on being reminded of Ills "wile
In the parlor," added the words, "and lady." A
boarder in the house, named Archer, who had
been intimate with Anderson, said that he recog
nized in the lady Mrs. Anderson and In her com
panion Dr. Irish. As a consequence Aicherutid
Mr. John Harbutt, proprietor or the hotel, have
been summoned as witnesses for the ptosccutiou.

ihe I'nited States steamers Guerriere, 2,400
tons, twenty-one guns, anu the Albany, 2,000 tons,
fifteen guns, will be sold at auction at the Brook
lyn Navy Yard next Thursday, the mh Inst. Both
are screw vessels ami arc classed in the nuvy list
as second rates. Some time since the government;
ordered a Board or Survey to examine into tho
seaworthiness of several vessels, of the ships built
during the war, including those which wi re com
menced then and have been finished since its close,
many were designed for special service and are
not of a character suitable to our present needs;
almost all were constructed hastily of unseasoned
white oak timber aud several of these cannot be
repaired to any advant ig?>. The Secretary of tho'
Navy has declared that to spend money In the con-'
stunt endeavor to keep tlieso ships afloat ia the
most expensive way of maintaining a navy, slnco
constantly increasing expenditure is answered by
constantly decreasing results of good. The House
of Hepreseutativcs hns acted upon his recomw
?Herniations, by authorizing the construction of
six active cruisers, better adapted to the dutiea'
and means of our navy. The two vessels above-'
named havo, with others, been condemned as
unseaworthy, and are to be disposed of as stated.
Ql'Alt ANTINK SHIPS.
The Albany with thu Delaware have been for
some time used as hospital ships at Quarantine.
A joint resolution of Congress, approved March 24,
1860, authorized the Secretary ol the Navy to place
gratuitously at the d sposal or the Commissioners
or quarantine or proper authorities or any port
in the United States to be used for quarantine pur
poses such vessels or bulks belonging to the United
States, as were not required for other purposes.
The sloops-of-war Saratoga and Portsmouth vv.-ro
turned over to the New York Commissioners of
Health, under this resolution, and were returned
in September, same year, bciug no longer re
quired. Subsequently the Albany was loaned to
the lioatd.
TOR SLOOP-OF-WAR ALBANY
There Is a sad history connected with the name
of Albany in the United states Navy, a sailing
sloop-of-war of this name, carrying twenty-two
nuns, was built and launched in New York during
the year 1846. She was thu victim of one or thong
ocean disasters which has left her cxact fate a
mystery up to the present hour. Tills sloop was
one of a class thai proved useful and economical
In their day, but they have been thrown aside us
unfit for active cruisers. The St. Marys, nuw on
her way from Mare Island, Cat., to Norfolk, Va , ia
one of the remaining ships: ol this description. The
Albany was attached to the home squadron in
1854. She had visited the hshiug grounds in a
case or emergency, and had also visited
Greytown, Havana aud other West Indian ports.
She sailed from Aspinwall September 29, 1S64, for
New York, since which tirue nothing has been ever
heard of ber. The most painful aiixtetv was ex
perienced concerning her fate for mouths, and
several vessels were sent to search, but no trace
of the missing vessel could be found. A soveiv
storm prevailed a lew days utter her departure
from Asplnwail, and it is believed she toundcrcd
during It with nil on board. Tne Albany had a
crew or 126 men and the following officers, whoso
names appear in the li t o< deaths in the Navy
Register for 1855:??Commander, J. T. Gerry; Lieu
tenants, William II Hleeeker, Montgomery Hunt,
.1. 11. Adams aud Henry Kodgers; hutgeon, S. A.
McCreery; Assistant Surgeon, Itlchard D. Cowman;
Master, Itobert A. Marr; Purser, Nixon White;
Midshipman, Bcnet J. Riley.
TUB OONSTlTtn ION AND GI'IKKKERK.
There are also associations connected with the
name of Gnlerrere, but ol a very different nature
from those of Ihe sloop Albany. The first impor
tant battle ol the war ot 1812 was fought between the
lingllEh frigateGulcrrere, Captain Dacres, forty-nlnu
guns, and the United States ship Constitution. Com
modore Hull, forty-ionr guns, In which the latter,
alter an action or thirty minutes, compelled lib an
tagonist to strike his nag. A previous action
between the hssex and tUc English frigate Alert
had a similar result, but the victory of Commodore
Hull was the ilrst to establish the superiority of
American pluck mid skill over the British at sea on
equal terms. The engagement took place off the
American coast August 20,1312,011 the route now
taken by steamers naming between New York and
Liverpool. The vessels fought at half pistol shot
distance. A prize crew was placed on board tho
captured ship and tiex; day it was found that thu
(interfere had six feet of water In her hold. She
was set on fire and abandoned. Commodoro
Hull, in his report, says that "so fine a slup, com
manded by an able and experienced officer, Had
been totally dismasted and otherwise cut to pieces
so as to make her not worth towiug into port in
the short space ot thirty minutes," was a matter of
praise to the country, lo perpetuate the memory
ol ihe victory a line forty-lour gnu frigate, chris
tened the Guerriere, was built tu Philadelphia and
launched in ihh. Site lay lor many years in ordi
nary at Norfolk and was finally broken up. Tho
Albany, winch Is to be sold next Thursday, was
built towards the dose or the war and was last em
ployed In the North Atlantic fleet: the Guerriere
was also built towards the end or the war. She
was the flagship ol ih.*?<outh Atlantic fleet in 18t>7,
and was sent fo the European station in 1870. Her
last cruise was rather unfortunate, having gone
ashore several times in the Mediterranean. It is
said she will lie purchased for Henry Meiggs, the
great South American railroad contractor.
THE MUTUAL BANK RUN.
The Rnn Sl*?rly KnilrU and Dcpoalta
Hrlng Made Yeatei-day?Ita Tratiwc^
liona With Ihc Chatliam Hank.
The course pursued by the Chatham Bantf
towards the Mutual Hank, upon which a run wutf
begun on Saturday, seems to have areated much'
sympathy In financial circles for the officers of the
Mutual, who were thus placed in very perplexing
difficulties. The admission of the Chatham Haulc
officers that they believe the Mutual to be solvent
has, to a great extent, restored eotifW'
dence In the ability of their unioi tunnte'
victim to pay all demands against it,
and yesterday there was but#little excitement
abeul the countcig. About twenty small de
positors witudrew their deposits while a number
01 business men made deposits as usual. The"
officer? ot the bank report that on Saturday last,
having live vacancies to lill in the Hoard or Direct*
ors, and business men, In au<l about Kroadway and
Astor place having expressed a willingness to act,
a meeting was being hold for the purpose of filling
these vacancies While the deliberations were on
the action of the Chatham (tunic In declining ta
act aN their clearing agent fell upon them like a
thunder-dap, and oi course they adjourned with
out Ailing the vacancies. Wnen Mr. lliii sought an
explanation of the cashier of the Chatham
lie reports that that official assured him he had not
given them a notice of their purposed action, fear
ing that they would not ?'end down their Krldav'a
exchanges. President Hill declares that they ha<(
lullllied all their obligations to tnc Chatham flunk.
They have a deposit of $;6,uoo with this Institution
to cover their clearances. The open account be
tween the two institutions, he asserts, shows no
justification for the course of the Chatham. But
once bad tliey overdrawn their account beyond
U>,ooo. This was on November 30, when there
was a balance of $22,414 against the Mutual. This
was reduced by $20,000 be.ore the close of the
da?, leaving $2,414 to run over to next day's
account. He exhibited the account to the re
porter, who examined it for the entire period,
covering several months, and the highest sum
lound standing against the Mutual over night was
1*1,800. This sum, of course, deducted from the
>76,000 collaterals 0/ the Mutual held by their dear*
lng agent, would leave a balance of $?9,4oo in favor
of the Mutual Bank. Mr. Hill s'ates that this daily
acconnt has frequently shown the Chatham BauK
debtor to them In from $2ft,ooo to $30,000 on thlf
account at the close or a day's transactions, ami
he cannot understand why tney have been so uu\
ceremoniously treated In the matter. Negotiation*
were In progress yeaterday that the officials nope
will eventuate In securing clearing house accom
modations from another bank. If successful the
Mutual will continue business as usual, ir toe*
are crushed for want of a clearing Wnt there cm
be little doubt of their ability te meet all their 00
ligations.
