THE INSURRECTION IN GREECE.

We have at last something like an authentic ac-
count of the revolt at Syra.
A letter from Athens, in the Augsburg Gazaie,
dated 15th of March, says : -
,4 The steamer whieh the day before yesterday brought us

our correspondence from Trieste brought also the news of
an insurrection at Syra. A movement would have seemed
more likely in any other tewn of Greece than in that en-
trepot of Levantine commerce; it, however, broke out on
the 12th of March, but as the telegraphic wires were cut
nothing was known of it here.

"On the morning of the 12th a First Lieutenant in the
army, named Leonzakos, a Mainote, commanding the de-
tachment quartered at Syra, consisting of 30 men, and be-
longing to the battalion which raised the standard of revolt
at Nauplia, gave the signal for the insurrection. He was
joined by Lieut. Canaris, son of the ex-Minister; a Second
Lieut. Moraitinis, son of the President of the Areopagus of
Athens. Both had participated in the conspiracy of the
month of May, and were, though acquitted by the tribu-
nals, under the surveillance of the police.

joined the military in-
surgents. The Government functionaries fled to Upper
Syra, the Catholic portion of the town. The rebels found
support from the rich merchants of Syra, and the Steam
Navigation Company of that town seems ako to have been
initiated in the conspiracy, for it at once pla two steamers
at the disposal of the insurgents.

" The first attack was directed against the Custom-house,
which contained 500 Minie rifles, ordered firstly by the
Government, but conceded afterwards to the firm of Kloebe
and Co. The rebels seized those arms and the money chests,
and then attacked Austrian Lloyd's, where they pillaged
everything; they then sacked the National Bank, the Go-
vernment Treasury, and embarked on board the Karteria,
belonging to the Greek Navigation Company, and made for
the Isle of Tinos, with a view to gain to their cause the
detachment of 20 men quartered there. The sergeant in
command, however, suspecting treason, prevented the ro •
bels landing. On being called upon by them to take oath
to the new order of things established at Athens, he replied
that he only took an oath once in his life, and, assisted by
the inhabitants of the island, he compelled the rebels to de-
part. They then proceeded to the Island of Thermic) to
liberate the 25 or 30 individuals banished from Athens and
confined in the island.
" The events at Syra were known at Athens at midnight
on the 13th, and the Government at once sent two comps-.
nies of the already weak garrison of Athens

imposing upon industrious and ignorant people by
pretending to cast nativities and foretel future
events, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged
with unlawfully exercising the profession of a for-
tune-teller and astrologer, obtaining money by
false pretences, committing a criminal assault on.
Mary Ann Baker, a young woman,. aged 20; and.
lastly, with committing an indecent assault on her
sister, Jane Baker, who is 18 years of age.

of justice.

Mr. Woolr3 et here looked to the prisone'r's stock
in trade, which consisted of a well-thumbled edition
of the " Manual of Astrology," with horoscopes and
nativities of kings, queens. and other distinguished
personages, " Zadkiel's Almanac," and scraps of
writing with quotations from it, roughly executed
diagrams and nativities, and the " planets," as they
were called, of some of the prisoner's dupes. The
Penmanship of these productions s'an od, but. the
orthography was wry defective. The following
may be taken as a sample of the whole :—" Thy

thin life. The Cross is Broke, and very hard Set it
was to get it broke." , Another scrap of paper con-
tained the following warning :—" Remember the
things I told you wil not come to pass if the spell
is not filled up as I began it, it must be filled. Tell
her if she Begins,,to tell what I don it is all no vse
to her."

Mary Ann Baker, aged 20, said the prisoner came
to her mother's house on Sunday ; he wrote that she
must go up stairs. The witness then went into a
long detail of the prisoner's conduct, and, after a
series of most disgusting ceremonies, violating i;er
person. The witness was strictly questioned bp-
Mr. Woolrych, and she said—l could not help whit;
be did. He moved his hands up and down my facer
and took the bone out of my stays to measure me.
I was giddy, when he put his hands over my face,
and should have fallen had he not held me up by
the shoulder. His hands smelt as if he had been.
washing them with tobacco. He made me pay him
3s. 6d., which was all the money I had. Ile said.
as I was a servant girl, he wo'ild take ss. for break-
ing the spell, and I must pay him Is. 6d. more on
Tuesday next. He gave me a paper, and on it was
written that .I was not to tell any one, and the cross
was broke.
Jane Baker, a diminutive girl, sister of the last
witness, said she wash ghteen years of age. She was
left alone.with the psoner, who expressed in writ-
ing that she had a cross in her side, and if she did
not have it out there would be a spell upon her for
life. He then tried to serve her as he did her sister,
but she would not let him, and threw down the
chair and called her mother downstairs, and her
_mother asked her what she was crying for.
Mr. Woolrych—l wish your sister had acted
with the same determination as you have done. Did
you believe what he said ?
Witness—No, sir. I believed it was all rubbish.
I did not believe him from the first, and when I
found out what he was doing I thought he was a
nasty, filthy, indecent man.
The whole of the evidence was plainly written.
down by Mr. W. Livingstone, the chief usher, and
given to the prisoner to read.
After he had finished reading the evidence, he
wrote on a slate that he was out of work six
months, and when he came to Loudon he was s.
beggar. He gave the woman and her daughters a
lot of papers with horoscopes and nativities on.
them. He bought the ticket book, " Manual of
Astrology," for ls. The first woman he met with.
gave him ls., her husband the same, for casting
their nativities. The girls told lies of him in some
respects, but he was guilty of a good deal of what
they said, and he was sorry for it,
Mr. Woolrych said he regretted vein' much that
special circumstances prevented him committing
the prisoner on the capital charge. Such a filthy
profligate scoundrel as the prisoner deserved to be
sentenced to a long term of penal servitude. He
believed Mary Ann Baker was a willing dupe. He
thought it would not be useful or proper to commit
the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was acquitted.
of the first charge, but upon the second, for using
subtle means and obtaining money under pretences
of fortune-telling, breaking spells, and casting
nativities, he sentenced him as a rogue and vaga-
bond to three months' imprisonment and hard
labour, and for the assault on Jane Baker, which
was not with her consent, he sentenced him to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour. The second
sentence to commence on the expiration of the first.
The sentence was communicated in writing to
the prisoner. He read it and then broke out into
