Seca THe WoRK WHICH more than any other is making a sensation this season is Mr. Darwin's book on “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Anima!s,”’ which will soon be published here by D. Appleton & Co. Mr. Darwin’s discussions of the principles Which control the actions of auimals are really wonderful, if not always satisfactory. An instance is his principle of antithesis, by which he means the relaxation or tension of muscles m ex- pressing opposite feelings. He argues that ex- pressions in animals either result directly from serviceable acts or are the indirect results of ser- | viceable acts, and he goes so far as to assert that some forms of expression, at first useful, have be- come hereditary. His work is full of striking theo- ries ingentously argued and it shows a singular and profound knowledge of animal life, which can- | not but prove useful in the study of the expression of emotion. A New Vouume relating to Lord Byron, edited by Mr. H. 8 Shulters-Young and published by Bentley, will soon be issued in London, It con- tains many of Byron's letters never before printed, among them letters to his mother which put his character in a pleasing ght, so far as regards his 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. SHILLABER’s new book, ‘Partingtonian Patch- work,” being the latest miscellanies of humor from Mrs. Partington, will shortly be published by Lee & Shepard.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER EMMA, CINOINNATI, Dec. 10, 1872, | The steamer Emma caught fire while on Shawnee town bar, below Evansville, Ind., yesterday, and in a few minutes the whole forward part of her cabin was in flames. The steatner Camelia, which was coming up at the time, sent her yawis to assist in rescuing the passengers and crew, some of whom had been precipitated in the water by the upsetting of the Emma's yawl. Two children and a woman were rescued as they were sinking the last time. It is: believed that all the passengers and crew wer ved. ‘The boat was totally destroy nd was valued at $12,000.

Trial of Dr. Irish for the Alleged Mur- der of Edward 0. Anderson. Second Day’s Proceedings—The Prisoner’s Coun- sel Criticising the Press—An Editor Threat- ened with Committal for Contempt—Testi- mony for the People—A Review of Anderson’s Habits—Scenes About His Death Bed—Mrs, Anderson’s Actions, The trial of Dr. Lucius B, Irish for the alleged murder of Assistant Assessor Edward 0. 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 m 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 am admonition as that from the Bench to the jury if newspapers are 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 fact, but which are wick- edly and maliciously false. 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 tiial for his life. Ina cause of this great Importance It seems to me that MC uty 0! is Court to protect administration of justice frem Berea he SUCH AN OUTRAGB as that which has been perpetrated upon itin the Publication of this article. Not only are the state- ments false, but this article contains a statement from @ relative of the deceased which the writer of the article knew could never be intro- duced inevidence before this jury, and states in the article that he knew it, and because it could not be introduced before jury legally, and because it could never be euniiene to see light on this trial, it is surreptitiously published in this Feat ah in the hope that some members of this jury would read it and be influenced by it. I ask this Court—I call the attention of the Court to this proceeding—in the hope that it will take measures of its own mo- tion to peaseeye the administration of justice from such influences as this during the pendency of this trial hereafter, and I give notice, not only to the writer of this article, but to the editor of this paper, that if this offence 1s repeated U will move his Court that they be COMMITTED FOR CONTEMPT of the Court in publishing such articles as this. District Attorney Britton—It does not perhaps become me to say Say hla Oren) this subject, but I will make a remark. hile it is true, in my judgment, that it was not in good taste or proper, under the circumstances of the case, that any pub- lication other than the proceedings of the trial should take place in any newspaper, yet 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 in‘erest, much more any desire, to preiiog any one in a case of this mag- nitude and importance to all the parties con- gpmesy 4" nite with the counsel te uest that ere shal ho comihents upon this trial nor upon the proceedings until the trialis concluded. It would be a fair presumption that THIS JURY WOULD NOT READ ANYTIING upon this subject after the caution expressed by the Court. I presume that none of the jarors have read a word that the counsel has referred to. Judge Pratt characterized the publication as pets improper and an unwarranted interference with the course ofjustice, Ifmen are to be tried at all they should have a fair and impartial trial by jury, and not be tried out of Court by the news- papers, Itis NO NEW THING in the administration of justice. While I hold Court, if another instance of this kind occurs an at- tempt will be made to see whether there is any law that will givelparties a fair trialin Courts of justice. The article referred to was the article of Mary P. Howell, sister of the deceasea, before the Coroner last June. District Attorney Britton then proceeded to open the case for the people at considerable length, stating what he expected to prove by his witnesses, The charge against Dr, Tia was of uch a nature that they would have to find a ver- dict of guilty of murder in the first degree or not guilty, ‘They could see from the nature of the case that it was a cool, deliberate crime, such as shocked the community. If it were proven that he col ted the act of administering the poison their Verdict must be for murder in the first de- Mr. Britton spoke of Dr. Irish’s social posi- \d said that the prosecution would in no | respect assail his character, independent of the circumstances of the present case. THE CASE FOR THE PEOPLE. ‘The first witness was Elijah H, Roy, of 173 Broad- way, E. D., the proprietor of a club room tn Fourth street; knew Anderson for ten years; he was about six feet one inch in height and weighed about two hundred and fifteen pounds; sociable in his nature and drank occasionally in Company ; witness had seen him so ander the influence of liquor on two or three occasions, that he did not know what he was about; he drank different kinds of liquor; on the day of his death, April 9, Mr. Roy called a his house, 431 Fulton avenue, and saw him jyin m bed in great bain; witness said to him, Eddie, yow’re pretty sick;”? when he replied, “Yes, ] am; oh! if T could only GET RID OF THAT PAIN!'? he tried to vomit and purge frequently; Dr. Irish gave him a powder when Mr. Roy first entered—a small powder; the Doctor remained about halt an hour; at the Doctor's suggestion witness got a smali bottle of wine to give to Anderson, but he could not say who gave deceased the wine; it was riven in a spoon from a tuinbler at intervals of iiteen minutes; Mrs, Anderson ny him some- thing from a bowl (some kind ofa tea, she said), and immediately after both the tea and the wine was administered Anderson vomited a little; wit- ness aiso gave him some brandy and partook of an ordinary-sized drink himself, but experienced no effects from it; when witness got home that day he Jearned that ANDERSON HAD DIED; he attended the funeral the third day afterwards; saw the Doctor there and was told by him that he (the Doctor) would like to have an examination of the body, but that Mrs. Anderson could not stand it. On the cross-examination by Mr. Morris witness was closely questioned as to how often he had seen Anderson intoxicated. Mr. Roy didn’t exactly know what was meant by being intoxicated, but he wouldn't call aman drunk until he was in such a condition that he did not know what he was about; aman might be UNDRR THE INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR and not drunk, Wituess was questioned as to An- derson’s vomiting, and admitted that he had seve- ral times seen him vomiting alter drinking ale; when witness was atthe house Anderson, while complaining of pain, pointed to his stomach, and said, “I think this will fetch me;” Mr. Roy asked Mrs, Anderson what the matter was, and she said that her husband had been drinking very hard of late, and had come home early on Friday or Satur- day morning (he died on Tuesday) very drunk, itin: * was not the same alter drinking as on the day of Wi death, WHAT IS INTOXICATION? James Kearney, a liqnor deaier at 271 Jay street, whose place Anderson used to visit, testified that he never saw him intoxicated, Mr, Britton asked witness to define what he meant by being intoxicated. Witness—A man Irinsself, r Q. From the influence of liquor? A. Yes, sir, Q. You never saw iim in that condition’ A, No, sir. Q. How often have you seen him approximate to that condition during the seven months you knew him? A. About three times; he was very talka- tive, and you could notice him on the street, Witness also at Anderson’s house on the day of his death; while a doctor was sent for, witness raised Anderson up in the bed and held him there that ain't ft to take care of | wotil Dr. Thayer arrived and pronounced him dead; | Anderson was in great suffering and while rolling in bed once exclaimed, “OH! | AM GON | he died at twenty-five minutes past five o'clock; | Dr. Irish was, not there at the Cae on the day beiore his death Anderson was in witness’ place and complained of being 111; went into the yard to vomit; he took a gin “cocktail” that day, ANDERSON’S LIQUOR BILLS, Mr, Morris questioned Kearney as to Anderson’s drinking habits and elicited that Anderson had paid him as high as $20 a month for liquor. Q. Will you state that he did not spend on an average $20 a month at your piace? A, I would not. oH yen swear he didn’t spend $20? A. Yes, wi ‘Wenty-five dollars? A. I couldn’t say.

A, Yes, sir, and he was A VERY LIBERAL MAN. Dr. Peter W. Leyes, a Cranes at Jay and Fulton Streets, had once seen Anderson under the intlu- ence of liquor, Dr. Leyes, who was present at the house on the day of Anderson’s death, described the indications about the sufferer, and stated that ae he was absent going for Dr. Thayer Anderson On the cross-examination witness stated that the night previous he had put up a prescription for Anderson of one ounce of the solution of mor- phia and five grains of the sugar of lead, and he Presumed it was prescribed forthe purpose of controlling the vomiting, giving freedom from 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; witness suggested a con- tinuance of the giving of the champagne to Ander- son. In reply to questions as to MRS. ANDERSON’S CONDUCT on the afternoon of her husband's death, he stated that she was vet ffectionate, and received the last recognition from him. Bernard Mulholland, of the Appratser’s office, in the Custom House, knew Anderson about eighteen months and never saw him intoxicated, but had seen him under the influence of liquor about once @ week during the last four months of his life; he was at Anderson’s house about fifteen minutes on the afternoon of his death aud talked with him; | Anderson had a griping in the stomach and vomited j @ little; Anaerson did not complain of any pain on the previous Saturday when he was in Kearney’s. A recess was then taken until two o'clock, Judge | Pratt cautioning the jurors not to read or converse | about the case. After the recess undertaker Genung, who offici- ated at Anderson's funeral on Friday, said he de- livered the body to the baggage master at the Forty-second street depot, New York; he saw Mrs. ein at the house, when she manifested great | THE DEAD MAN’S BROTHER. John P. Anderson, of Yonkers, @ brother of the deceased, was present at the funeral and accom- panied the remains irom Brooklyn to Yonkers, Where the interment took place in St. sohn’s Ceme- tery. He witnessed the interment and recognized the body when it was brought back to Brooklyn and placed in the Morgue on the 9th of May, THE POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION, Dr. A. W. Shepard, of 124 Willoughby street, a physician and surgeon of ten years’ experience, Inade a peeesmarien examination of Anderson’s body on the 9th of May last.

The aggregate of symptoms described ry other witnesses he had heard occurred in cases of death from arsenic, At half-past two o'clock Mr. Britton said that Professor Doremus could not possibly attend that day, and that he could not proceed any iurther be- fore he had examined the Professor, without break- ing in on the line of proof he had established, and | he was compelled to ask for an adjournment. No objection was offered by counsel for defence, nud the Court thereupon adjourned until this morning at half-past nine o'clock. Dr. Irish Visits Newark. Itis 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 Alive Bowlsby came. It was from there “Admiral” Nelaon came. ‘Two of the survivors of the ill-fated Missouri, s¢ Men, also hail from there, and now it appears that Dr. Irish drags her into his case. On the 19th of last April « gentlemanly looking Individual, with a lady dressed in black, visited the city and stopped ut the Park House. He put his name on the register a8 Williams, and, on being reminded of his “wile in the parlor,” ded 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- | anion Dr. Irish, As a consequence.

Both are screw vessels and are classed in the navy list as second rates, Some time since the government ordered a Board of Survey to examine into the seaworthiness of several vessels. Of the ships built during the war, including those which were com- menced then and have been finished since its close, many were designed for special service and ara not of acharacter suitable to our present needs; almost all were constructed hastily of unseasoned@ white oak timber and several of these cannot be repaired to any advautige. The Secretary of the’ to withdraw the to reject any bid or | Navy has declared that to spend money In the con’ stunt endeavor to keep these ships afloat ig the most expensive way of maintaining a navy, since constantly increasing expenditure is answered by constantly decreasing results of good. The House of Representatives has acted upon his recom~ mendations, by authorizing the construction of #ix active cruisers, better adapted to the duties’ and means of our navy, The two vessels above~ hamed have, with others, been condemned as unseaworthy, and are to be disposed of as stated, QUARANTINE SHIPS, The Albany with the Delaware have been for’ Some time used as hospital ships at Quarantine.

The sloops-of-war Saratoga and Portsmouth were turned over to the New York Commissioners of Health, under this resolution, and were returned in September, same year, being no longer re- quired, Subsequently the Albany was loaned ta the Bourd, THE SLOOV-OF-WAR ALBANY There is asad history connected with of Albany in the United States Navy. A sailmg sloop-of-war of this name, carrying twenty-two guns, was built and launched in New York during the year 1846, She was the victim of one of those ocean disasters which has left her exact fate a mystery up tothe present hour, This sloop was one of @ class that proved useful and economical in their day, but they have been thrown aside ag unfit for active cruisers, The St. Marys, now om her way from Ma sland, Cal, to Norfolk, Va., i¢ one of the remaining ships of this description, The Albany was attached to the home squadron in 1854. She had visited the fishing grounds in a case of emergency, and had also visited the name Greytown, Havana aud other West Indian ports. for She sailed from Aspinwall September 29, 1854, New York, since which time nothing has been e' heard of her, The most painful anxiety was ex- perienced concerning her fate for months, and several vessels wer iT ofthe missing vessel could be sound, A. sév storm prevailed a few days atter her depart | from Aspinwall, and itis believed she foundered during with all on board. The Albany had @ crew Of 125 men and the following olficers, whose names appear in the list o: deaths in ler, J. T. Gerry tenants, Wiliam H. Bleecker, Montgomery’ Hunt, J. Q.

There are also associations connected with the name of Gulerrere, but of a very different nature from those of the sioop Albany. The first impor- tant battle of the war of 1312 was fought between the Englich frigate Guierrere, Captain Dacres, forty-ning guns, and the United States ship Constitution, Com- modore Hull, forty-rour guns, in which the latter, after an action of thirty minutes, compelled his an- tagonist to strike his fag. A previous action between the besex and tue English frigate Alert , had a similar result, but the victory of Commodore Huil was the first to establish the superiority of American pluck and skili over the British at sea on equal terms, The engagement took place off the American coast August 20, 1S1z,0n the route now taken by steamers running between New York and Liverpool, The vessels fought at half pistoi shoo distance, A prize ew Was pliced on board the captured ship and next day it was found that the Lof water in her hold. She was set on fire and abandoned. Commodore Hull, in his report, says that “so tine a ship, com- manied by an able and experienced officer, had been totally dismasted and otherwise cut to pieces so as to make her not worth towing into port in the short space of thirty minutes,’ was a matter of praise to the country. To perpetuate the memory of the victory a fine forty-lour gun frigate, chris- tened the Guerriere, Was built in Philadelphia and launched in 1814, She lay for many years in ordi- broken up. ‘Tho Albany, Wich is to be sold next Thursday, was built towards the close of the war and was lust em- ployed in the North Atlantic fleet; the Guerriere wae also built towards the end of the war. She was the fagship of th@south Atlantic fect in 1467, and was sent fo the European station in 1870, Her last cruise was ratier untortunate, having gone ashore several times in the Mediterranean. It is Said she will be purchased for Heury Meiggs, the great South American railroad contractor. THE MUTUAL BANK RUN. The Run Nearly Ended and Deposite Being Made Yesterday=Its Transace tions With the Chatham Bank. The course pursued by the Chatham Bane towards the Mutual Bank, upoa which @ run wat begun on Saturday, seems to have ereated much’ sympathy in financial circles for the oMcers of tha Mutual, who were thus placed in very perplexing difficulties, The admission of the Chatham Bank | oMcers that they believe the Mutual to be solvent has, to @ great extent, restored conf? dence in the ability of their unfortunate victim to pay all demands against it, and yesterday there was butelittle excitement abeut the counters. About twenty small de- positors witudrew their deposits while a number of vusiness men made deposits as usual. The oMicers of the bank report that on Saturday jast, having five vacancies to fill in the Board of Direct- ors, and business men, in aud about Broadway and Astor place having expressed a willingness to act, a meeting was being held for the purpose of filling these vacancies, While the deliberations were on the action of the Chatham Bank in declining ta act as their clearing ageat fell upon them like @ thunder-clap, and of course they adjonrned with- out filling the vacancies, When Mr, Hii sought an’ explanation of the cashier of the Chatham he reports that that ofticial assured him he had not given them a notice of their purposed action, fear- ing that they would not send down their Friday's exchanges. ‘President Hill declares that they ha julfilied all their obligations to tne Chatham Bank. ‘They have a deposit of $75,000 with this Institution to cover their clearances. The open account be- tween the two institut he asserts, shows no justification for the cour: f{ the Chatham. Bub once had they overdrawn their account beyond $20,000, ‘This was on November when there was a balance Of $22,414 against the Mutual. This was reduced by $20,000 be.ore the close of the day, leaving $2,414 to run over to next day account. He exhibited the account to the porter, who ¢xamined it for the entire period, * covern months, and the highest sum jound standing against the Mutual over night waa 5 Thi of deducted from th 1 held. by their clea: ing agent, would leave a balance of $69,400 in favo! ofthe Mutual Bank, Mr. Hill states that this dati account has frequentiy shown the Chatham Ban debtor to them in from $25,000 to $30,000 on thit account at the close of a Gaye transactions, and he cannot understand ti he ley have been 80 ae treated in tl tia bl cere matter. Nt were in. ress yesterday the th: ol ctele Boos, in securing clearing house jrevadens from. another If successful tha om~ m Mutual will continue busines# as usual. If | for want of a clearing agent there beuttie doubt of their ability to meet all their oy ligations,
