VOIGTL A..TIIDER'S Notwithstanding all the un-English proceedings GLASSES are now to be had at very reduced , ?ricks-s. CALLAGHAN, 23A, New Bond-stree that have been taken before two " different judicial Corner of Conduit-street, W. men have refused to entertain the charges brought against him, and have thus declared them to be unfounded. Now that a competent judicial tribunal has pronounced its verdict, Mr. EYRE has thought fit to lay these statements before the public, and certainly he is perfectly justified in doing so. These extracts show the difficulties with which Mr. EYRE had to grapple in the months of October and November, 1865. The Commissioners declare that in the great majority of cases the evidence before the court-martial was unobjectionable in character, and quite sufficient to justfy the finding of the Court; and they also state that the Council had good reason for the advice they gave to proclaim martial law, and the Governor "well justified in acting upon that advice." Not a few of the negroes contemplated the attainment of their ends by the death or expulsion of the white inhabitants of the island, and though the original design for the overthrow of the constituted authority was confined to the parish of St.Thomas-in-the-East, yet the disorder spread with great rapidity over a large tract of land ; and, they also add, which it is important to notice, that the state of excitement was so great that if the insurgents had attained a mere momentary success a great loss of life and property would have been sustained before their ultimate overthrow would have been accomplished. Sir PETER GRANT, the present Governor of Jamaica, in writing to Lord CARNARVON in Oct., 1866, reports, in reference to certain evidence that was taken before a Special Commission of Oyer and Terminer that was held at Kingston, that he considers this judicial evidence, so far as it goes, to be of more value than any evidence obtained before the Royal Commissioners in their inquiry. It is proved that the " march and attack upon the Court-house on the 11th of Oct. were premeditated, as part of au intended insurrection, and that the murder of certain persons who were murdered on that occasion was premeditated, and was afterwards boasted of." " This proves," adds the writer very significantly, " that the assailants proclaimed, on making their attack, their object to be war, that the war commenced was a war of colour, and that they themselves understood, the day after the slaughter, that what. they had undertaken was war." The opinion of Sir PETER GRANT is one that has great weight attached to it, and he must have had many opportunities of judging the case from his own observations, and the public will thus see for themselves what is the conclusion arrived at by an unprejudiced man, and one well qualified to pass his opinion on the case. Mr. EYRE adds to this brief but authentic enunciation of the broad features of the rebellion and is suppression, " that though insurrection had actually occurred in but one district of the colony, the Government had reason to fear that seditious feelings were rife, and open rebellion might speedily break out in other parts of the island ;" and, in conclusion, he reminded the public of a very important fact, that, during a state of warfare such as that created by open rebellion, " many things must always occur which are to be deplored, and by none more than the civil and military authorities in command at the time, but which it is as impossible to foresee as to prevent." We are glad to meet with this spirited vindication of his policy from the exGovernor of Jamaica, and ita arguments are as conclusive as its tone is moderate and impressive.  listing Luxuriant and Beautiful Hair is the distingt badge of Youth."
