That four actions have been commenced against Mr. Eyre and Colonel Nelson by the solicitors of the Jamaica Committee. 3. That the Jamaica Committee aro also preparing an indictment against Mr. Eyre for murder. 4. That in consequence of this unparalleled and oppressive persecution, which they say will entail upon Mr. Eyre an enormous accumulation of coats, the Com mittee earnestly request additional subscriptions. The facts are as follows :-1. The Eyre prose cution has not yet commenced. This mis-state meut, however, if it stood by itself, would not be worth correcting, as the prosecution will be com menced as soon as the witnesses, who have been sent for, arrive in this country from Jamaica. 2. Two private gentlemen who were illegally arrested, and one of whom was flogged, but against whom no shadow of evidence has ever been produced, have, without any connexion with or assistance from the Jamaica Committee, commenced actions for damages against Mr. Eyre and Colonel Nelson, and have entrusted their cases to the solicitors who are also instructed by the Jamaica committee. The defence of the actions against Colonel Nelson has been undertaken by government, who are thus inter posing the national purse between these victims of martial law and an hnglish court of justice. This step on the part of government will, of course, very greatly diminish the expense of defending the other two actions which have been commenced against Mr. Eyre, as the defence in each case must be sub stantially the same. 3. The only proceeding with which the Jamaica Committee has anything what ever to do is the intended indictment, which they are advised is the only mode open to them of testing the legality of the late proceedings. The Eyre Defence Committee, having been in formed by us of the above facts, have instructed their secretary to reply that " they see no reason whatever for altering their advertisements to suit the tastes " of the Jamaica Committee and of our selves. Not in order to suit anybody's tastes, but to prevent the public being misled, we must there fore ask you to be good enough to give insertion to this explanation.—We are, &c., SHAEN and ROSCOE. 8, Bedford-row, London, W.C., Jan. 19. THE ACTIONS AGAINST El-GOVERNOR EYRE An application was made on Saturday to Mr. Baron Bramwell, at the Judges' chambers, Chancery-lane, by Mr. Hone, solicitor for ex•Govemor Eyre, in respect of the in dictments to be preferred against him for his conduct in Jamaica, the nature of his application being that all (la ther proceedings in the actions brought by Mr. Phillips and Dr. Bruce, of Jamaica, to recover damages for false imprisonment, flogging, and other injuries sustained by them at the hands of Governor Eyre during the late re bellion, might be stayed until the plaintiffs bad given Mr. Eyre security for his costs. The ground of the application was that the plaintiffs were resident beyond the jurisdic tion of the court, and could not, therefore, be taken in execution for Mr. Eyre's costs in case he should be suc cessful in the actions that were pending against him. Mr. Ilirnie, from the office of Messrs. Sheen and Roscoe, of Bedford-row, opposed the application on behalf of the plaintiffs. After hearing both sides, Mr. Baron Bramwell decided that the application was both premature and irre gular, and ordered it to be adjourned inne die. HOSPITAL TOR DISEASES Or THE CHEST, VICTORIA PARE. —The number of patients relieved at this institution during last week was 1,001, of which 264 were new mass. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 21, 1867. FRANCE. (FRO ( OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. PARIS. SATURDAY ZVI:NINO. I do not know precisely what may be brewing in the political inashtub, but it is quite certain that something extra strong is in preparation. The Emperor feels that he cannot meet the deputies, under existing circumstances, in the old jog trot way, and is determined to do something mum tioual. People meet on the Boulevardeandseriously ask each other whether it is true that M. Jules Fevre is to be sent for to forma ministry. A rumour some shades lass extravagant is current to day that M. Emile 011ivier is the coming man, and that the hour for which he has been looking, and the anticipation of which caused him to break with all his old friends, is now at hand, when he mar stand forward as the connecting link between the empire and constitutional government. An extraordinary council of ministers was held to-day. It is currently reported that it was special ly summoned to receive a communication of tie reforms for which the Emperor thinks the time is ripo. These reforms are still said to be those of which I yesterday gave a sketch. The Presee thinks the llioaittur will indi ; cat, to-morrow the considerable changes in ' contemplation. It thinks that Marshal Vail , lant will be relieved from the ministry of the l Emperor's household to be made Grand Referen dary of the Senate ' • that the Marquia de Lavalette will be Minister of State on the old footing • that M. Rouher, no longer wanted as principal "govern ment orator," now that all the ministers axe to have seats in the Chamber, and to be prepared to reply to interpellations rill be Minister of the Interior ; and that M. it i nruy, having offered his resignation as Minister of Public Instruction, will be succeeded by " either M. Buffet or M. Emile 011ivier." The Libertd, on the contrary, gives as news of the " latest hour" that there will be no minis , terial modification. .It is said in many quarters that the previous authorisation now necessary to found a journal will be dispensed with, that warnings are over, and that the stamp duty will be reduced from 6 centimes to 3. I believe myself that there must be shortly, if not immediately, a reconstruction of the ministry, because several of the present ministers are taken by surprise by the proposed reforms, and most hostile to them. The Empress also is against them. M. Berryer has been giving a parliamentary din ner. At the dinner at M. Thies', already men tioned, General Changarnier was present, and fraternised with republicans whom in 1848 he would not have touched with a pair of tongs, such as Marie Picard, Jules Fevre, and Jules Simon. lain credibly informed that there is &conspiracy on foot to waylay Mr. Gladstone as he passes through Paris from Italy, on his way to London somewhere between the 23rd and 26th of this month, and force him to attend a grand banquet; the leading conspi rators belong to the Societ4 des Economistes, and SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

I The only question before the court yesterday was at what time the two cases mould be heard. M. ' Chopelet had originally fixed February 15th for the hearing of his information. The Messrs. Pereire, by their counsel, M. Senard, said it was monstrous that honourable men should have a criminal charge hanging over their heads for so long a time, whereas the person who preferred it : ought to be ready to make it good without any delay. The Pereires, M. Senard said, were ready to go on directly. M. Chopelet 1 who, it appears, is a doctor of medicine, and a shareholder in the Port de Marseille Company, said his evidence was not ready, and in default of the period originally fixed, Feb. 15, asked for as much time as possible. The court ultimately fixed the hearing of the two cases for Feb. 1. M. Louis Blanc gained a law suit yesterday. In 1865 M. Louis Blanc sold his " History of the French Revolution" to M. Leprince, the pub lisher, for sixty thousand francs, for three years. M. Leprince not having sufficient funds to bring out such a considerable work obtained assistance from Count Louis de Cambs. cers, formerly a deputy of the Aisne, who became a surety for the payment of the stipulated sum to M. Louis Blanc. M. Lepprince being in difficulties, and not able to go on with the publication, M. Louis Blanc brought an action against the surety for the balance due to him on the purchase money, and also for damages in respect of the non-fulfil ment of the engagement as prejudicing M. Louis Blanc's reversionary copyright. The de fence was that the young Count Cambaoeres had been declared a prudigus, incapable of manag ing his own affairs. But the court held that the I contract was binding on his property, and decreed Count Cambacers, his father (who was his " judi cial counsel ") to pay M. Louis Blanc 40,000 f. 1 remaining due on the contract, and 20,000 f. as damages. The London papers of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday have come in to-day all in a heap, so that the obstructions on the Northern of France and English South Eastern must be removed. The weather in Paris has been the beau ideal of a winter's day on this 19th of January. We have had a cloudless sky from sunrise to sunset, a brisk frost not un comfortably cold, and, thanks to the Paris ediles, who are greatly to be lauded, clean streets. Of the relatively small quantity of snow which has fallen in Paris (while north, south, east, and west of us we get news of railway lines blocked up and unserviceable), none is now seen except on the roofs of houses and the outlying boulevards, which are almost country. In the central streets all that did not thaw in the daytime during the week has been carted away. The line be tween Paris and Marseilles is now clear. There were great doubts whether the Indian mail of thelBth would get to Marseilles in time, but unless fresh snow falls in the south, the usual ser vice will not be interrupted. The Bourse, after some fluctuations, closed with scarcely fractional variations from yesterday. THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE OF MEXICO. TRILTE, JAN. 19. Intelligence received from Miramar states that the physicians attending the Empress Charlotte have, after consultation, expressed their opinion that the recovery of her Majesty is complete, and have advised a change of scene. Preparations for a journey with that object are being made. SWITZERLAND. BERME, JAN. 19. M. Tschudi, the Swiss Charge d'Affaires in Vienna, has officially reported to his government that in Vienna it is believed that the object of the stay of the Prussian Generals Moltke and Roon in Switzerland was to draw up military plans of cer tain strategical points. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 19. The Swedish Chambers were opened to-day. The speech from the throne recommends a conser vative and moderate policy, and declares that the Swedish Government has no desire to interfere in European crises, and considers that the present boundaries of Sweden aro her natural frontiers. REFORMS IN FRANCE. LETTER OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing letter from the Emperor to the Minister of State : Palace of the Tuileries, Jae. lA, 167. Sir,— For some years part the question has been asked whether our institutions have attained their limit of im provement, or whether new improvements are to be realised. Hence a lamentable uncertainty which it is im portant to remove.

ADDITION/02] that progress which is oompetible with our habits ; for to govern is to profit by the experience which has been ac quired, and to foresee the wants of the future. The object of the decree of the 24th November,lB6o, was to associate the Senate; and the Corps Legislatif more directly with the policy of the government, but the debate on the address has not led to the results which were to be ex pected from it ;it has sometimes uselessly excited public opinion, given rise to sterile discussions, and occasioned a lou of time most precious for the affairs of the country, and I believe that without any diminution of the preroga tives of the deliberative power, the address may be re. placed by the privilege, prudently regulated, of putting questions to the government. Another modification has appeared to me neceasary in the relations of the govern meat towards the great bodies of the State. I have con sidered that by sending the ministers to the Senate and the Corps Legislatif to take part in certainldehates by virtue of a special commission, I should better utilise the strength of the government without deviating from the terms of the constitution, which admits no solidarity among the ministers, and makes them dependent only upon the chief of the State. But the reforms which it is fitting to adopt must not stop there. A law will be proposed for assigning the jurisdiction over offences against the press law exclu sively to the correctional tribunals, and thus suppress the discretionary power of the government. It is equally necessary to regulate legialstively the right of assembly, whilst restraining it within the limits which public safety demands. I said last year that my government wished to proceed in a path ooneolidated and capable of sustaining power and liberty. By the measures I have just pointed out my words become realized. I do not shake the ground which fifteen years of calm and prosperity have consolidated, but I increase the strength by rendering my relations with the great nubile parent more intimate, by s ecuring to the citizens by law fresh guarantees, by um. plating the crowning of the edifice erected by the national will. On this, Monsieur le Ministre, I pray God to have you in His holy keeping. • • • NAPOLLON. The following is the full text of the decree, which accompanies the letter of the Emperor : Napoleon, by the grace of God• and the national will Emperor of the French, to all pv.adni and to come, greet ing. Wishing to give to the dimensions of the great bodies of the State relative to the horse and foreign policy of the government more ntility and precision, we have decreed and decree as follows : 1. The members of the Senate and of the Corps Legislatif may put questions to the government. 2. Every demand for addressing questions to the government must be written or signed by five members at least. This demand will briefly explain the object of the questions, and will be handed to the President, who will communicate it to the Mender of State, and refer it to the committees for examination. 3. If two committees of the Senate, or four committees of the Corps Legislatif, deliver the opinion that the questions may be put, the Chamber will fix a day for their discussion. 4. Upon the close of the debate the Chamber will either simply declare the order of the day or refer the questions to the government. 5. The simple order of the day will always have priority. 6. The reference to the government can only be made in the fol. owing terms:—" The Senate (or the Corps Legislatif) calls the attention of the government to the object of the questions." In th's case a summary of the debate will also be transmitted to the Minister of State. 7. Any of the ministers may, if specially delegated by the Emperor, be charged, in concert with the Minister of State, and the presidents and members of the Council of State, to repre sent the government in the Senate or Corps Legislatif during debates on general questions or bills. 8. Articles 1 and 2 of our decree of 24th November, 1860, providing that the Senate and Corps Legislatif shall every year at the opening of the session vote an address in reply to our speech are hereby repealed. 9.

BOUND AND PLAYS. cint/ous meraummall. The evening meetings of the members of the Royal Institution commenced for the season on Friday, on which occasion Dr. Tyndall delivered • lecture " On Sounding and Sensitive Flames." The effect of certain vibrations of the air in causing different dames to emit musical sounds has been for some time past investigated by Dr. Tyndall in the laboratory of the institution, and manyof the curious results of his investigations werestated on } riday evening. It is well known that, when a tube is placed over a flame, under certain circumstances, a musi cal sound is produced, which is louder or sharper accord mg to thelength of the tube and the size of the dame. This effect is produced by the vibratory action of the air as it is heated and passes over the dame through the tube. Several experiments were shown to illustrute this action. A gas flame introduced into • tin tube three feet long pro duced a rich musical note ; when introduced into a tube six feet long the note was an octave deeper, and in a tub* 15 feet long the sound became extraordinarily loud. By varying the size of the flame the tubes might be made to emit harmonic sounds, the musical notes rising in pitch as the tubes diminished in length. The flames, when thus causing the emission of sounds, are separated into nume rous tongues of fire, as was shown by the reflection on a screen of dame thus vibrating, the vibrations consisting of • series of partial extinctions sad revivals of the flame. Many very curious illustrations were given of the sensitive ness of flames to musical sounds. Flames variously dis posed over tubes and bells burned without any sound until • sympathetic note was struck, and then they darted into action, producing the same musical sound. It is immaterial what instrument is employed to sound the note ; whether it be • tuning-fork or the human voice, the dame responds to the sympathetic, note; and it was very curious to observe that the flame, after having been called to without effect several times, instantly responded and continued sounding when the note with which it was in unison was uttered. After illustrating the sounding of dames when in connexion with tubes, Dr. Tyndall proceeded to show how naked dames may be simi larly affected by vibrations of the air. A gas flame moved to and fro near a tuning-fork mounted on a resonant case exhibited merely a continuous band of light, but imme diately the tuning-fork was sounded the band of light broke up into a eerier of distinct images of dame. The fiat dame from a fish-tail gas-burner was brought over a glass tube in which • dame was sounding, and the fish-tail dame in stantly emitted a musical note of the same pitch ss that of the singing flame, but of a different quality. In another experiment • current of air issuing from • thin slit was made to impinge against a brat last's-wing gas flame, when a musical note was emitted. A jet of air from • blow pipe was urged through the flame of • candle thereby pro ducing an incipient flutter, and when in that sensitive state &whistle was sounded the flame jumped. The expe riment was repeated with a gas dame from • fish-tail burner with still more remarkable effect. With a bat's wing flame of gas under considerable pressure, so as to make it on the point of roaring, at the sound of • whistle the flame roared and thrust up several long quivering tongues, and it did the same on striking an anvil with • hammer. When longer jets of gas were employed the effects were still snore remarkable. Two dunes were burning at the same time, one of them being long, straight, and smoky, and the other short and brilliant, and when • whistle was sounded the long dame became short and bril liant, and the other was converted into a long, dull, and smoky flame. By increasing the pressure of the gas a jet of flame about 20 inches long was produced which was pecu liarly sensitive. On the slightest sound it sunk down to eight inches • and the crumpling of paper seemed to pro duce convulsions. By some sounds, however, it was not disturbed, and it was interesting to observe when Dr. Tyndall repeated • few lines of poetry how the dame was affected by some of the exptession, , , and was learn 'ibis to others. On uttering the word " hoot" the dame remained steady ; at the word " boat " it started ; "beat" threw it into violent commotion • and it was yet more powerfully affected by the exclamation " ah !" Sibil lant sounds were particularly effective ; a hiss sent it down to the lowest point, and when a musical snuffbox wee put in action the flame danced up and down to the tune. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the tare was very well attended. "Vittoria Hotel. Hull, Jan., 18G7. "My dear Mr. Mayor,— Wishing you and all the town and corporation • happy and prosperous new year and many of them, I cannot leave for town without offering a practical suggestion to yourself and every house holder in Hull, which may at leest show my good-will On that suggestion I have profitably acted for seven lears, the ull be:i l elt i , t that t L a rithout te coal. Lo yo o l f l e '' it h ry !L b ; v o e f coal you pay for ; to save nearly one-third of your ordinary . consumption ; to have • fire lit in the inerning,i with a little care will last nearly the whole of the day, with possibly a single replenishing and no save trouble as well as coal, and have warmth equally distributed through your apartment, great or small ?—then attend to the fol lowing practical suggestion, upon which I have acted at bane with complete success, for, as I have said, seven years and with • like result reconausended to very many frienas. The suggestion is not my own ; I met with it seven years ago in the 8.. idler, a valuable London journal. Ordinary tire grates have open grates at the bottom, the result of which of course is to place the coal between two draughts, one from below and the other from above, up the chimney, and ensure two things, rapid consumption and diminished heat in the apartment. When I arrived at my hotel last Wednesday afternoon,—a bittereold day—l found ; • large fire, which was twice replenished before I went to bed. The coal was excellent, but could scarcely get I warm. I prevailed on nay worthy landlord to try my experiment on my tire grate here. He has done so, and with what remit ? Ask him. But I will tell you that to-day toy fire was made up at 10 a.m. It is now 5 p.m. • I have enjoyed, and am enjoying a most comfortable warmth, without having to sit w,thiu a yard of the fire. Not an ounce of additional coal has been placed on it, nothing having been required but now and then, at long , intervals, • poke from beneath abd a pressing down from above. Now, how is this brought about? I will tell you. Send for an ironmonger or blacksmith, and order him to take the measure of the bottom of your grate and make you a sheet iron plate of about the onemxth of an inch in thickness, or even less, which if your grate be large, will cost you two shillings. Simply lay this, and light your tire as usual. It will soon burn up, but you must keep pretty open the lowest bar, so es to secure a slight draught. When the fire has begun to burn poke it gently from beneath and the flame will gradually get through the entire mass of coals, the iron plate beneath gets red hot, and so keeps up a ..,onstant combustion, at the same time dispersing the heat through the room, in stead of its being sent up the chimney, thus entirely con suming the coal, instead of filling the hearth with ashes. In my own house I tried the experiment for • week in the breakfiet-room, then in the dining-room, then in the kitchen, with uniform and complete success ; and then I had the sheet iron plate put into every fire-plaos—and there are many throughout the house—vntli equal success. So I do with the fireplace in my official residence. When the tire Is once made up, ;lay about 10 a.m., for the clay, an occasional poke and possibly • single replen ishment suffices for the day. In Diy own case, and also at my hotel here, where three scuttles were required, one now suffices. You must not smile at the simplicity of my suggestion, but attribute my offering to • sincere desire to contribute what little is in my power to pro mote the comfort of, and lessen expense to, every house holder in the good old town of Hull. Try the experi ment fairly, I beg of you, at our fine Town Hall, and begin with my friends the town clerk and the clerk of the peace, and if that experiment fail. I will pay the cost of the two little sheets of iron. Before beginning, come and ask my worthy host, Mr. !Whiten, bow the experi ment has answered here. As I write fee the general good of the town, for householders gnat and small, I hope you will take the trouble of giving publicity to this letter, for the winter is now, and may continue to be, aevere the m price of coal is high, and the pressure of -11Zlieve me, my dear mayor, sincerely yours. " Sant ct. WARREN, Recorder. MYsTERIOES DISAPPEARANCE FROM PARIS OF AN AmERicAN Ltnr.—Our Paris correspondent writing on Friday says :—" A story appeared in the papers two days ago of a young American married lady having mysteriously disappeared from her residence in the Champs Elysies leaving some children of tender years and her servants without any knowledge of her whereabouts . The husband, who had the greatest confidence in his wife—a confidence according to all accounts entirely justified by her charm ter—came over from America the moment be heard the sad news, and has, with the aid of the French police, made fruitless researches. He ascertained that she was in the habigof goingfrequently to a well.known convent situated in a beautiful park at Auteuil, with the ostensible object of letting the children play about the grounds. One day last autumn, after returning from a drive to the convent, she put on her bonnet and shawl and left the house, telling her servants in a tone of voice betra,:ng annoyance that she was obliged to pay a visit on business. The newspapers not having given her name, and referred to her only as Madame X—, the tale might well have been suspected to be a canard ; but now a communique in the Prrme infers that the police must know something about her. The object of the rumnuniqui is to upbraid the Prase for having reflected upon the vigilance of the French police in this, as well as several other matters. The administration,' it is said with a mystery quite on a par with the disappearance of the lady, ' feels compelled to maintain an extreme reserve on the subject, but is enabled to state that Madame X— has not been the victim of any personal assault.' " Ma.% PROUDIE IN FULL PANOPLY. —Mrs. Proudie always went to church on Sunday evenings, mating a point of bearing three services and three sermons every Sunday of her life. On weekdays she seldom heard airy, having an idea that week-day services were an invention of the high church enemy, and that they should therefore be vehemently discouraged. Services on mints' days she re- garded as rank papacy, and had been known to accuse a clergyman's wife, to her face, of idolatry, because the poor lady - had dated a letter St. John's-eve. Mr. Thumble, oa this Sunday evening, was successful in finding the bishop at home, and alone, but he was not lucky enough to get away before Mrs. Prondie returned. The bishop, perhaps, thought that the story of the failure had better reach his wife's ears from Mr. Thunible's lips than from his own. " Well, Mr. Thumbler said Mrs. Proudie, walking into the study, armed in her full Sunday-evening winter pauoidy, in which she had just descended from her carriage.

On the con trary, the programme of the government aims at close union with Prussia, constitutional alliance with the other German States,with full reservation of the sovereign rights of Bavaria and the creation of a strength that shall command respect by means of reforms in the army, and the development of the liberties of the country.
