DEPLORABLE STATE OF THE GREEK
PROVINCES OF TURKEY IN EUROPE.

MURDERS, FIRE, ROBBERIES, TORTURES,
ASSASSINATIONS, AND VIOLATIONS.

We translate the following letter on the above
subject, which has appeared in the Augsbury
Gazette. It contains very detailed information,
and is well worthy of being brought under the
notice of our readers:—

THESSALONICA, July 20, 1860.
You receive from our country, occasional
news only, and it reaches you most frequently
through Constantinople, where every event is
seen through the medium of a particular prism.
I am in a position to give you very precise infor-
mation upon the state of affairs in these provinces
—Thessaly, Epirus; and Macedonia ; and shall
mention only facts, which will speak more elo-
quently than words.

They write from Adrianople that, throughout,
the whole of that province, outrages of every
kind, theft, robbery, torture, violations, fire,
murders, and assassinations, are committed upon
the .Christians with impunity, the Turkish
authorities not even going through the form of
prosecuting the authors of these crimes. At
Karaboura, a village situated fifty-one miles from
Constantinople, a horde of Turkish troops have
committed the most revolting atrocities. Meeting
upon the road sonic Christian women and girls,
these wretches let lobs° upon them their brutal
passions, and strangled three of the girls, who
opposed to them a desperate, but useless'
resistance; the rest were harnessed to a cart,
and compelled to draw their inhuman torturers.,,
who maltreated them iu a manner the most
revolting. In the village of Faky, another band
of Turkish recruits seized upon the Chief of the
Commune; they fastened him to a cross, which
they surrounded with fire; his •daughter was
dragged under the cross, and violated by these
demons under the eyes of her dying father
writhing in his agony. At Larissa the Turks,
encouraged by the events which happened
in Syria, assume a
.menacing Attitude towards
the Christians using violent means to-compel the
Greek inhabitants of Thessaly to sign writings„
intended to represent to the Sultan how entirel—
satisfied the Christians of that province, were,
with the administrations of their Pasha.
Bands of Albanian brigands, whom the troops,
thethselveS composed of recruits frOm Albania,
made a pretence of pursuing, oppress the
Christians without ceasing. Reduced to the;
greatest misery; exhausted by numberless taxes,.
they are at the •mercy of the Albanian brigands.
who deMand 'their share of plunder ; or if they,
find nothing, seize upon their wives and daughter's
for-the gratitleation of their brutality. ppcin"'
these horrors lltisnein Pasha, looked ou.compla-
tently, his hatred against, the Christians; and
the Greeks, in; particular; is implacable. This
Pasha' is aware that the "impression Fro-,
dated in Greece by the Syrian massacres
will provoke bloody reprisals upon the Gr4ian
frontier of, Turkey, and he is collecting unremitz'
tingly all the forces which ho has at his dispcisitt. '
It is even feared•that; on some- pretence or other,
he will attempt an inroad into the northern pro-
vinces of the Hellenic kingdom. - The Goveipea•
Joannina.. sent .to the Caimakarus of the town of
P4ramythia and ofMarkariti, orders to exact ftom.
the inhabitants a large sum of money, for the'
use of the Sultan. The inhabitants replier; iir
answer that they had paid their taxes, and that
they had nothing left; but it .was intimated to
theinthat the taxes of next year must bp, paid in
advance under pain of being executed.
In the commune of Tikfesi, in the neighbourhood
of Bitoglia, five.Tarks, armed, entered,,during the
night, the house of a newly-married Christian,
for the purpose of, carrying off his. young wife.
The husbEind was garotted, and the wife was
dragged away. Two Turks,- father and son, of
whose vineyards the Christian was in charge,
succeeded in rescuing the bride- from the hands
of her ravishers, who, disappointed of their prey,
attempted to shoot her, and fired several shots,
from their piStols at her. Next morning the.
young wife waited upon the chief :of the oint
mune to lay her complaint before 'him. The'
latter drew up a report upOn the affair, and'
caused her to take it to Bitoglia, where a supe-
rior court sits. After innumerable difficulties
the woman made her way into the hall where
the judges were Assembled, and presented her
complaint. The following is the sentence pro-
nounced by the president of the court of justice:
" According to our sacred law, the Koran, two
Turkish witnesses are required to, establish a
crime; The report 'cites the names of these two
witnesses, but as the crime took place during
the night, their testimony is invalid." In. the
course of the present year—that is to say, within
an interval of six months—forty assassination
have been committed by Turks upon Christians
in the very vicinity of Bitoglia. After a purely
formal enquiry, the authors of these crimes were
speedily set at liberty.

FALL OF A BUILDING AT PENDLINO/r

THREE PERSONS KILLED AND SEVERAL
SEVERELY INJURED.
A very serious accident occurred on Monday afternoo
at Pendleton ; three persons being killed and .sever
severely injured, by the fall of the larger portion of t'.
premises occupied by Mr. John Parry, as a smallwa.
manufactory. The building was in Ford-lane, near tl•
railway station. It was two storeys high, and consists
of an old and a new part, the latter having been erect(
within the last twelve months, by Mr. Thomas Valentin.
builder, Pendleton. The upper storey, extending tl
whole length of both parts, was used for the manufa
ture of smallwares generally ; the lower one, which w
to a great extent open in front, being mainly devoted
the making ofhoot-laces.
'The new portion of the manufactory was 70 yar,'.
long ; and there were 14 or 15 persons at work in it at
time of the accident. It seems that without the slights ;,r
indication of danger having been noticed by any of tlr
hands, the whole of this portion crumbled to the groin e
like a child's house of cards, and so complete was tl
destruction, that scarcely two bricks were left standitr
together..
Efforts were speedily made to extricate from the rni
the unfortunate people who were buried there ; acid tl •
three following were, we regret to say, quite dead NOR:
got out :—Edward Rogers, who was in the upper store •
and who has left a wife and two children; his injuri
being chiefly about the head, which was shockingl•
crushed. John Lavery, aged 14, crushed across Ii
breast and back between two beams. James Cousin
about 12 years of acre, whose body was much mutilate(
The first two lived at Pendleton, and the bodies wry
removed as soon as;possible to the Church Inn, close h
The latter lived at Charlestown, and thither the bor
was conveyed. Besides several who were slight:,
injured, the following were taken to the Manchest.:..
Infirmary :—Mary Ann Pickering, about 25 years of ag s.
who had sustained a compound fracture of the leg ,
William Dawson, 19 years old, fracture of the thigh
John 'Parrott, fracture of the thigh ; and Micha
M'Creary, aged 7, fracture of the leo.'. Considerab
damage has,_ef :course been done to the stock on tl?
premises.
The inquest was to be opened yesterday, when
searching
investigation into the condition of the buildief,
prior to the accident would no doubt be made.
