Outrages by the Turkish Populace on the Christians in Crete. laautl Determined to Have a Voice In llie Flniil Settlement ol tbe Eastern ttneatlon. London, Jan. 2. The Earl of Carna von to day received a deputation of bouth African merchants, who expressed the wish that reinforcements be cent to the Cape, for fear the colonints may be outnumbered, or in the event of Euro pean complications, be left to their own resources. The Earl admitted that tho situation at the Cape was such as to ctnse serious anxiety in regard to the probability of norland becoming involved in a Euro pean war. Hesaiii he did not think, in spite of tbe fall of Fievna, that there had been any material change in the situation. Since Lord Derby's renssuring speech in November, the attitude of the Government therefore remained the same, watchful of the real British interests, friendly toward other nations and neutral toward the belliger ents. Although the Government were not prepared to bolster op tbeTurkish in terests, as uc ii, iney were resolved to have a voice in the settlement of Ibis question whenever it came on for settlement. England, not aaeupposed, cjfl'ertd to mediate, but had merely conveyed over tures of peace from one belligerent to the other. The Earl declared that he wholly disagreed from the idea that Russia's answer to thesa overtures was an af-front or an insult to England. Such an idea seemed unreasonable aqd unfounded. He thought at the present moment there was ssriou risk on each side. On the one hand, he thought we should not lash our selves into nervous apprehension concerning British honor and interests, aB our honor had never been impeached throughout these transactions, and although our interests were undoubtedly large, we shonid carefully discriminate between zaal and secondary interests. On the other hand, he hoptd sincerely that Russia would remember that many ques tions now arising are not for settlement bstwecn the belligerents alone, but will involve European interests. In the final decision of tlieee questions, It was very important that England, an a member of the European family, should have a dis tinct voice. Lord Carnavan did not feel any dith- culty iu rconciling these two views, and reminded his heaiersof the way in which England drifted into the Crimean war. He thought few people looked back on that war with satisfaction, and was confi dent that nbody iu England was insane enough to desire its repetition. He pointed out that the commercial community, both in England and Kussia, was interested in the maintenance of peace, and hoped the British Government would never do anything to enpours.Ee alarm, or admit that diplomacy had beeoinp so exhausted aB to be incapable of affording a peaceful solution. Raslnn Strategy. London, Jan. 3. A Vienna dispatch says: 1 be Kuesians nave achieved a rare leat ot perseverance anu enuurauce in crossing the Etropol Balkans, and, thouc.ii the furcc can not be very numerous and the whole movement seems to savor rather of a bold and adventurous raid, like General Gourko's over Han.koi PasB. than a regular military operation, it oan not but hasten the withdral of the Turkish troops from the Balkan line ; ot any rate, from the western portion. Sulie- man rasua seems to nave lureseen tme when be took up his headquarters at Ichti-man, and to have thought that a stand made at the rallying point formed by the junction of Rhodonoc and tbe second 'w, A- .... ll .l caiaan cnam uiigni euecmauy um an nu-vance from the direction of So6a. There is. however, a succession of parallels formed by Topolnica, the Guipso and the Tuncja, which run to the north of Inhuman, by which the itusaian columns descending from the Etropol Balkans may pass eastward, end uniting with forces traversing Schiptta Pass, turn the position of Ichtiman and , march down upon Adriauople. The only question therefore la whether the Turks are strong enouirh to bar the descent from Schipka Pass and hold Ichtiman, vith the defiles of Topolnica and the Gulpsou at the ame time If not, they must retreat still further to the east, OnirajEfetf on lUe ChrlMilan In t'rele London, Jan. 2 There is great excitement here to-day caused by pews just re ceived from Crete. A number of Miris-linn families yesterday attempted to enter Retinio, a small town on the northern coast, but were prevented uy the lurmsn nmmlace. who assaulted them men, wo men and children. After driving the Christians back tbe Turks closed the gUeB of the town and then turned to the British Vice Consul, threatening his life and pursuing him with knives until he found friendly shelter in the house of a brother Consul. Tho Turkish soldiera quietly stand by during all these outrages, and not once attempting to stop the riotous distuibancos. The British iron-slad Rupert arrived at Athens yesterday, and tailed last night for Retinio, and, it is believed here, England will take temporary possession of the Island, with a view of preventing a repetition ot the outrages, Interpretation of lae Speech ol'llie KlnK or Iinlr. London, Jan. 2. It was reported in London last night that the King of Italy, in addressing the members of the Italian Parliament at a New Year's reception, made a threatening speech which was interpreted here as directed against Turkey or England. The Timea's Rome Bpeclal merely said : "The King alluded to the gravity of the present state of Europe; expressed his earnest desire to contribute to peace and recommended concord." Another Rome dispatch says : "The King recommended the Deputies to preserve concord and expressed his hope they would take care that the army wanted for nothing, as he saw a etprmy horizon around, and it might be neces aary (or Italy, which is desirous for peace, so to act to make herself not only respected but (eared in case any power should wish to-couBiilt its own interests alone." Tbo Anti-War Party-What Ino Tlinea Maya London, Jan. 2. The anti-war party is beginning to agitate the country for the purpose of checking tbe supposed eggres sive tendency of the Cabinet. The Times, this morning, urgeB the Liberal leaders to make their views known. It Bays : Unless something en tirely beyond surmise has occurred to turn the Government Irom tne views expressed by Cross, the Home Secretary, in the House of Commons last cession,' and by Earl Derby, Foreign Minister, to the deputation which recently waited upon him, the Ministers would welcome the Bupport which adhesion to their views by all responsible statesmen would afford. Tbe time for silence has passed, and the hour for speech and for decided speech has come. Ronmanla Alarmed. London, Jan. 2. A correspondent telegraphs that the Roumanians are be coming very uneasy about the rumored intention of Russia to demand the re trocession of a small strip of Bessarabia, ceded to Roumania after the Crimean war. This would leave Roumania not only without compensation for the sacrifices of war beyond the acknowledgement of her independence, but iu fact poorer in territory, since Austria is thought likely to object to the extension of Roumanian territory south of the Danube. BlNinarcli and the Katlounl I.lbemla Berlin, Jan. 2 Prince Bismarck's special organ, the Nord Deutsche Allge mine Z-Htung, attacks the .national lib erals violently for their rejection of the Prince's terms. The National Liberals, on the other hand, -declare they can afford to await until Prince Bismarck's necessities compel him to comply with their demands. tne Kins or Italy Exnlnlns. Rome, Jan. 3. The Italie denies that the King used warlike language at yester- day'e rereption, and eays he merely, in re ferring to tbedituctmies ol the European situation, recommended to National rep resentatives to preserve concord among themselves.

Moore, Keane and Cummins, Special Deputy Collectors, and William Durham, Special Deputy Marshal, went on a tour of inspection througu union county, irom this place, and to-day at the residence of Jasper Gibbs, trial justice, tbey arrested a peddler and his driver for selling tobacco improperly stamped and connacated tbe wagon, team, tobacco and Btampa. The officera succeeded in handcuffing the pris oners and returned toward Spartans. burg. When they bad.prooeeded about four nines, and were at West's store, they came suddenly upon a rifle company, who were armed with Winchesters and pis tols, and were partly mounted. There were about two hundred men in this company, and about twentjfive of them were mounted. They shouted "Release him I release him I" and summoned the United states officers, and a long wrangle eensued, in which the cmcers endeavored to retain ibeir prisoners and captured property, but were compelled by threats and various demonstrations to remove the handcuffs and release the prisoners, prop erty and Btamps. Casper Gibbs, the trial justice, and B. A. Gregory, his constable. and the captain ol the company, seemed to be the principal persons in authority. and they demanded the release and restoration nf the property and prisoners. Gregory, by direction of Gibb?, eearched the wagon of tho Bevenue officers for whisky, and threatened to BC-nd them to jail. It was only by the total surrender of the revenue officers, that bloodshed was averted, There is not a force here ouflicicnt to effect the arrest of the persons concerned in this outrage, and I respectfully suggest that measures be taken to muster a force for tbe purpose. The offenders are persona of means and influence, and I have no doubt will make a determined resistance to arrest, backed, as they are, by a community hr.slile to the revenue laws of the United States. Re'pfctfully, J P. Kibkland, Deputy Collector. The Couimisaioner of Internal Revenue will have a conference with the Secretary of the Treasury with regard to this outrage The determination is to use every possible e0urt to bring the offenders to justice and have tbe laws thoroughly vindicated. GLYCERINE EXPLOSION. eleven 1'ersoua Killed luree mown Into AIoiuh A I.oconifillvo Lifted Into llie Air and Duuiollkhed Personal Injnred Three Miles Irom tho scene. Chicago, Jan. 2. An Iuler-Oceun special from Marquette, Michigan, says : While a Chicago and Northweateru bci car was being loaded with nitro glycerine at the Jackeon mine, near Nrgaune, af ten o'clock this morning, the mass exploded, imlantly killing seven men and demolishing the car. Tho locomotive was lifted into the air and thrown fifty feet,' and landed in a confused heap of wood and iron. Of the killed, O. A. Wheeler and son Walter, and Ira Henck-ley, were employed at the nilro glycerine works, Hcnckley being superintendent. These three wero blown to atoms, no piece larger than two pounds being discoverable. The other four were railroad employes and wero in tho cab of the er.. gir.e when the explosion came. Their blackened and mangled remaina.were there with the flesh stripped from the faces and limbs, and their bones broken. Their names are William Meyers, William Shillman, Charles Ruiller and Jerry Foley. Ishpcnning, three milea away, plainly felt the shock, and the dnmnge in Negauno was probably $2500, and some persons there are reported seriously in jured by the concussion. Recelvor'u Bnport or tne Dcrunct Matlounl Trnst t'mnpnny. New Yonp.jan. 2. Receiver William J. Best, of the defunct National Trust company, this evening completed his re port on the affairs of that institution and made it public. The report shows that the capital of the company is impaired to the extent of $737,234. He says the pub lished statements of the National Trust company's condition for years past were fictitious and so cunningly devised as to deceive not only the creditors and stockholders, but also a majority of the Board of Trustees. The Trustees, he states, are open to criticism for permitting the President to manipulate its affairs according to hia own notions. The capital stock of the company was placed at $1,000,000 by its charter and from the returns made to the banking department that amount of stock had been subscribed and paid in, but in this however, says Mr. Best, President Mangani had practiced the greatest duplicity in his relations to the department, the stockholders and the public. At no time since 1873 had the capital Block amounted to $1,000,000. Beginning with the panic of that year and continuing down to October, 24,1877, Mr. Mangam had systematically used the funds of llie company to purchase its own stock. IlnuU Failure. Springfield, Ills., Jan. 2 This community was startled this morning by the announcement that tho extensive and well known banking house of Jacob Bunn, of this city, had failed and nude an assignment. Throughout Illinois Mr. Bunn has long been known as one of the heayiest and strongest bankers in the State, and in whom everybody had unlimited confidence. The assignment was made to Hon. C. C. Brown, of Springfield, to whom Bunn gives up eery thing he hat, his wife joining him in the assignment, ib liabilities, it is said, will reach about eigiii. hundred thousand dollars. The assets are Baid to be sufficient to pay everything if time is allowed and property not sacrificed. The immediate causes of the failure are said to be the large amount of unnro ductive real estate the bank had, together with a heavy line of saving deposits. Universal sympathy is expressed for Mr, Bunn by every one in this vicinity, where na caa Deep Known tor the last tony years as an upright, honest business man.

The injured man states that the carver demanded a free shave, which he flatly refused, when he was attacked with a dirk. Several severed arteries could not be taken up and tied, compell ing tbe physicians to fix the wounds with per sulphate of iron, which caused clotting.

You have arraigned the press for writing about your case. It is the right of the public at large to know through the voice of people, the press, that you have received your just deeerbj for your crime. I don't believe, Dr. Lambert, that you believed these checks were fash. It was your duty to know the true condition of your company, and if you had, you would have had mercy on your family.

Chicago, Jan. 2 Interviews with city officials develop the fact that the statements made in a New York journal lately, that the city of Chicago was seeking a loan of one million dollars, is incorrect. The amount was only some two'or three hundred thousand dollars, required for payments in December and January, which are now mostly provided for. Another allusion to Chicago's repudiation of an old debt is likewise erroneous. No debt has ever been repudiated. During the Mayoralty strife in the spring of 1870, some paper went by temporarily, but the Council readily pledged its payment, with interest at seven per cent , and the greater portion of it has been paid, Bann Failure.
