see It slNad, it in sh extmei from a istii4
vale letter, that the Turks have .hasassinated alt
the Christians at Ibrahil, where thl Turkish force
is said to amount to 40,000 men: The quarrel
seems thus by indiscrimiuute massacres on both sides
to have assumed the sanguinary character it will
bear throughout. The Greeks have ages of bru-
tality and oppression to revenge, the Turks have to
fight fur the preservation of their dominion. and
even for their existence. From being simply an
insurrection of a few people in a remote province,
the quarrel ha■ become at once national. for the
Turks, instead of punishing the actual criminals
only, sought borbarously to retaliate for the blood
spilt at Jassy by murdering the Greeks generally in
Constantinople and other places. and by so doing
they have unwittingly strengthened the cause of
their opponents. It were absurd, however, to look
for any thing but guilt and cruelty from berberians
and ►laves.

On Friday last the town of Whitehaven was thrown into
a state of extreme agitation. when it was generally known
that the inflimmable air in the colliery behind the North-
wall, called William Pit, had suddenly caught tire, carry-
ing death and destruction to almost every laving creature
within the range °Fits explosion. Six men, two boys, three
girls, and Ore horses fell victims to the fury of the blast; and
three more pitmen were so severely scorched and wounded
that, we sincerely regret to state, but foist hopes are enter-
tallied of their recovery. This shocking catastrophe, we
know, from undoubted authority, is not attributable to ne-
glect or want of judgment on the port of the stewards or
overate: but was occasioned solely by the hopredesee of
one of the weeklies, who, in order the more readily to find

error, and to repent his temerity.—(Cartisk Jostens!)
