The Chicago Tribune Washington special
says:
1.-The prospect Of an early settlement Of the
Davis question grows more aud more remote.
1t may not be generally known that if brought
TO trial under the indictment now pending for
treason, Davis would, by the act of Congress
Of 1862, only be sentenced TO Imprisonment
for ten years, and fine of ten Thousand
dollars, if the decision of Judge Field, of
California, in the Chapman case, is taken as
a precedent, II is believed by the best law
yers here that the position Of Judge Field is
we'll ,sken The Chief Justice, some time
ago, addressed a letter to the other Judges,
asking their opinion upon the question: OF the
power of the Judges to allot themselves, and
have jurics decline, under the act of May I'D,
1866. All of the Judges have not yet replied,
although il is known that they generally
coincide in the opinion that they cannot have
jurisdiction until allowed by Congress, which
is the view held by Judge Swayne. tits per
sisted that the Chief Justice has expressed his
desire TO have the Circuit Courts held, il it
can legally be done, but it is now almost cer~
tain that he Judges OF the Supreme Court
will not preside at Circuits until Congress
take action in the matter, and that as there
appears n disposition to bring Davis 10 trial
before the District Judge alone, his case will
not come up until after the meeting Of Con>

he is not sure of being able to succeed
with landscapes. The Paris Photographic
publications, however, are silent about
the matter.
Attention is being directed in this
country 10 the gas reverberatory furnaces
of Silesia, which are used there for the
manufacture of iron and for vatious other
purposes, with a saving of about 80 per
cent in the fuel consumed. The coal, in
stead Of being placed upon a CRATE, as in
our furnaces, is placed in a chamber In
the same situation as that which the
CRATE usually occupies, and a weak blast
Of air is directed upon it by a fan or
otherwise. The air being insufficient
for the rapid combustion of the coal, gen.
crates carbonic oxide, which passes into
the furnace, and meeting there with a
powerful stream of air from the blowing
machine, The charlottesville gas is in
famed, and generates intense heat with
in the furnace. A rapid circulation of
air is maintained through channels be-
meath the hearth and within the bridge
of the furnace to cool those parts, and
thus to prevent the intensity of the heat
from burning them out rapidly. The
pressure of the air-blast directed into the
furnace is about Alb. per square inch.
Charlottesville furnaces are now en-
ployed in the arts to a considerable ex-
tent. Their first introduction was ia the
iron-smelting furnaces in France, where
the smelling is carried on by means of
wood and the gases escaping from the
top of the furnace were then conducted
down by q pipe, and used beneath the
boiler. Subsequently a similar expedient
was employed in many of our own IRON
smelling furnaces, though there coal IS
the fuel consumed. The top Of the blast
furnace is closed by IA great conicaI
mouthpiece or valve, upon which the
coal, iron, and limestone intended TO re-
pIenish the furnace are laid, and, the
valve being then momentarily lowered a
little by suitable apparatus, the charge
falls into the furnace, off the conlcal sur
face. The carbonic-oxlde gas generated
in the furnace, being unable to escape at
the top by reason of the valve, passes
down through a great sheet-iron pipe and
escapes through perforated pipes beneath
the boiler, where being infamed, and an
adequate supply of air being admitted,
sufficient heat is generated TO maintain
the supply of steam required by the
works. A similar species Of furnace has
been proposed by NJ. Beaufume, in
France, for the generation of steam in
ordinary boilers, carbonic oxide being
generated in a special chamber as in the
Silesian furnaces, and being subsequent
~ burned beneath the boiler by the aid
of a suitable apparatus. But this species
~ f7roooo hos not xyaf pnnln IniA nGp In
ordinary furnaces about half the air pass
es through the fire unchanged, and as this
air is received at low temperature and
delivered at a high a considerable waste
of fuel is thus produced.

Arrival OF Professor Agassix at Rio Ja-

Amazon-The Imperial Family Present.
OUR RIO JANElRo CORRESPONDENCE.

Amazon-The Imperial Family Present.
OUR RIO JANEIRo CORRESPONDENTS.
RIO JANERo, May s, 1866
PROFESSOR AGAssIz.
have TO announce the arrival here from the Amazon
of the distinguished naturalist Professor Agassiz with
Mrs. Agassz. The Professor and his family live in
the same hotel that do-namely the Exchange. During
very pleasant visit the Professor he informed me
that he had intention of presenting report of his
porations to the Emperor of Brazil, because such
not required of him; but that when he reached the
States he intended publish illustrated work the
subject In the of conversation Professor Agassz
said he intended to remain here some time because he
requires rest.
The Professor is one of those men who must work.
If he to work he Will get tred-will rust He
knows that; and So by way OF light work, which he
calls rest he has begun deliver series of lectures in
this city on his explorations Of the Amazon river The
first of the series delivered last night at the Impe
rial College OF Pedro the Second.
49, THE LECTURE.
The Imperial family present. and there was a
goodly show Of citizens Of all nationaes, embracing
about four hundred persons, including however, only
about nfteen ladies' IN accordance with the prevailing
seclusion Of the gentler In Brazil The lecture
delivered in the French language.
The lecturer began by stating that the general impress
sion in regard to the Amazon river very erroneous
only in regard to the climate of that rerion which
he had been informed was unhealthy-the Professor Is
the picture OF healtl-but also as to its fertility. He
found the valley Of the Amazon uncommonly fertile
and its climate very healthy II his opinion that IL
would one day become the mart of the world, support
ing in comfort twenty millions Of inhabitants.
The Professor went on TO describe the different strata
OF the valley and the bed Of the great river which he
found entirely different from others known till now de-
monstratng his argument by drawings on a black
board In conclusion the Professor spoke in the warmest
terms of the kindness and attention shown him by the
Emperor Of Brazil who has placed at his disposal gov
eminent steamer and such other facilities will enable
him IN few months TO finish work that would other
wise have required years to accomplish.
The deepest attention was eynccd by the audience
throughout the delivery Of the lecture which lasted fol
one hour and half Everybody present seemed to bt
pleased with its PLAIN, clear and concise style.
