CANDIA.

A letter from Athens, 27th ult., in the Angsburg Gazette,
gives the following details of the insurrectionary movements
in Candia _ _ _

" The Christian inhabitants are nearly all in arms, and have
taken up advantageous positions. They have published a de-
claration that their only object is to protect themselves against
the Governor, Mustapha Pacha, complaining that the protect-
ing powers have left them under an Egyptian Pacha, instead
of incorporating them with Greece. They declare the project
of placing them under the dominion of the Sultan is a violation
of their imprescriptible rights. They announce an intention
of addressing petitions to the Three Protecting Powers, and
will not lay dawn their arms until they have received a favour-
able answer. According to the last accounts (to the 16th) a
deputation of four Canatiotes has been on board an English fri-
gate, and had a conference with the Consuls of the European
States. On being asked whether they would prefer being
united to Greece, or be under the protection of England, or
have a Sovereign Prince, they replied that their wish was to
become a republic, adding that they would rather die than be
ruled like the Samians. It was decided that their petition
should be presented to the Protecting Powers,:and the deputa-
tion was then sent back, under an English escort to the camp
of the insurgents."

CONVICTS IN VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.—A
letter has been just received from John Jones, who was
tried and sentenced to be hanged for the attempt to fire
Birmingham during the Chartist riots in 1839, but whose
sentence was afterwards commuted to transportation for life.
After stating other sufferings, he says, " What little meat
we do have is what h brought from other colonies, and of
the animals that have died on the passage. The next is
our water, which is not fit for a beast to drink; and then
there are our overseers who arc over us, they will not even
allow us to stand upright nor to turn our heads during the
time we are at work, which is from six o'clock in the
morning till half-past five in the evening. We
have our breakfast tecore we go out in the morning to
work, which is a drop of wheat water and a pound and a
half of brown bread, that serves us the whole day ; and
if it rains all day we must endure till it is time
to leave off work, and then we come to our barracks, and
when we are musterei together, we are marched off to
bed, which is a bed of straw, with one blanket and one
rug to cover us. Our shoes, which are supposed to last
us four months, will not, with the greatest care, last us
more than two months; then we all go barefoot fur the re-
mainder of the time. Theo there are the clothes that we
wear, which have to last us six months—they are all off our
backs in a deal less time; and every morning we rise from
our beds we are in danger of getting into trouble, as if it
is but the look it will get us into trouble, and expose us to
the severest punishment, as that is all they look for on
purpose to keep us as long as they can on Government's
hands, and in the greatest of misery." The convict then
proceeds to deny his guilt, and calls on his friend to inter-
cede for a mitigation of his sentence.
