THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1870

THE MURDERS IN GREECV.

. A fourth batch of letters from Athens to the Foreign
_ Office has just been received. This instalment of the
correspondence contains a modification of the last fatal
catastrophe. The first letter is from Mr. Erskine, and is
dated April 23rd. It was received oii Sunday.
Mr. Erskine annotnces that he *ill defer details until
the next mail, his time being Much taken till b the ar;
rangements for the funeral of the victims. He says
" Mr. Herbert, as I reported by telegraph, was killed at
Dhilissi on Thursday afternoon, the 218 t jilt., and it was
at first thought that the second body was that of Count
. Boyl, the Italian Secretary ; but it Was eventually
recognised as that •of Mot Lloyd. . The two
Other gentlemen—viz:, Mr, Vyner and Count Boyl,
appear to have peen killed a good way in the interior of
the country, in the vicinity of Skimataii. Their bodies
have not yet arrived, but the Affroissa, which brought
round the remains of Messrs. Herbert and Lloyd this
miming, will return for them to Chalcis immediately,
The details of the whole affair are more harrowing than I
can now describe, but I shall attempt hereafter to give
your lordship an account of the way in which the bodies
were mutilated. The King called at her Majesty's Lega-
tion yesterday. to express his profound grief at the dreadful
fate of these gentlemen, and the whole Diplomatic Body
have waited upon the for the same purpose. I inclose a
translation of the deposition of the brigand Alexis, taken
by the troops in the encounter near Dhilissi, which
throws some light oh the movements and pro-
ceedings of the brigands both before and after
the capture. I transmit likewise a translation of a
telegram on the subject of the collision from Colonel
The-agais, General Church's aide-de-camp, who had been.
sent to the brigands to endeavour to induce them to
embark on board a British man-of-war, or leave the
country by the Turkish frontier unmolested.—l have,
&c. (Signed) E. M. ERSK/NE."
The following is the second of the enclosures referred
to. It is from Colonel Thdagenis to M. Zaimis,
the Greek Premier, and is dated April 21st :
The band of the Arvanitei has unfortunately put into ex-
cution the threatened murder of the ill-fated strangerfi,
their captives. After two o'clock p.m. to-day they passed
the river, flying from Oropos, Immediately on learning
this, the detachment under Captain Apostolidis and the
cavalry hastened to stop their flight, but they had great
difficulty in crossing the River Asopo, it being swollen.
The brigands, in their hasty retreat, alas ! murdered
the strangers. The soldiers, perceiving the slaughter, got
infuriated ; the attack was most fiercely made, six of them
have been found killed, and one has been captured alive:
Amongst the dead were recognised the two brigand chiefs
Christos and Takos Arvanitel, and the remainder are pro-
bably wonnded and hidden, because the last that left were
only eight in number. The bodies of the murdered captives
have been put on board the steamer; that of the youngest
has been brought here. (Signed) B. THEAGENIS."
Then comes the deposition of one of the brigand gang.
It runs thus :—" To the Ministers of the Interior and of
Justice, Athens.—The brigand Alexios Basileo Tossi4,
Who was arrested, has undergone an examination. He
states that the band started from a place about three
hours distant from Vilia, some of the inhabitants of
which place furnished them with food; that during the
night they passed by Siossa on their way to Marathon,
where they arrived on the morning of the day on which the
capture took place ; that they occupied from that morning
the bridge on the Marathon road, and were there when the
carriages of the captives were on their way to Marathon :
that the captives were taken in the afternoon on their
return from Marathon ; that from this place they went to
two huts near the Pentelicus, where they passed the
night ; that the day following two men in foustanel dress,
having the air of military men, approached the band, con,
versed with them, and departed; that he would recognise
them if he saw them, but does not know who they were ;
that from there the brigands went to Oropos, and
thence, by a concerted plan, they set out with
a view to reach Agrapha with their captives ;
that they had come into contact with the Government
troops; and that, according to the description given by
some soldiers, he presumes Christos Arvanitaki has been
killed. This brigand will hereafter undergo another
examination; meanwhile there is information that this
man, with some others, kept guard over the two ill-fated
Secretaries of Legation, and that he himself is their
murderer.—Chalcis, April 22, 1870 4 o'clock p.m.—The
Nomarch of Eubam (signed), PH. MiciiALoPonos. The
Proucureur du Roi, BEUTSI."

DEATH AT A GRINDING STONE.—On Saturday
fast, whilst a workman named Bakewell was engaged at a
knife and file grinding factory, in Knight-street, Liverpool,
a large ATinding stone slipped, knocking him through the
roof, ani causing instantaneous death.
MY EYE.—A man with one eye having- laid a
wager with another of perfect vision, that he (the one-
eyed person) saw more than the other, the bet was de-
cided in favour of the first, on the ground that he could
see two eyes in the face of his antagonist, whereas the
latter could see but one eye in the face of the first.
FATAL QUARREL BETWEEN TWO WOMEN.—On
Saturday night, at Sheffield, a woman named Hills met
with her death during a quarrel with another woman,
Mary Wild, of whom she was jealous. She fell on the
kerbstone after having been struck by Wild, and is sup-
posed to have died of concussion of the brain. Wild was
taken into custody on Sunday.
ESCAPE FROM SHEFFIELD LOCK-UP.—James Glee-
son, who was in custody on a charge of theft, escaped from
the Sheffield Lock-up on Saturday just as preparations
were being made for his removal to Wakefield House of
Correction. He has not yet been recaptured. Several
other prisoners also tried to escape from the charge office
during the confusion, but were prevented.

VALUABLE DERELICT PRIZE.-011 SUUday the
captain of the steamer Havelock, from London, which
arrived at Sunderland, reported that on Friday, he fell
in with a small steamer laden with machinery. and no
person on board. He found her to be the Fox, from the
Tyne to Constantinople. He took her in tow, and got
safely to Bridlington. Her value is estimated at
£30,000.

PRESENT FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES.—A.
large joss or idol has been sent home from China by
Admiral Keppel, as a present for his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, and has arrived at Sandringham. The
figure weighs about 30 cwt., being made of metal. It is
not of great height, but of massive proportions. The
ornamentation is elaborate, and the whole details of the
figure are distinguished by the painstaking minuteness
which generally characterises Chinese workmanship.
NAVIGABLE PASSAGE THROUGH PERPETUAL ICE.
—The Russian papers announce the important discovery
by Cartson, a learned Norwegiau, which will give a great
impetus to Siberian trade. He had cruised, for scientific
purposes, in an expedition undertaken last summer in the
Karian Sea, which washes a southern part of the Isle of
Nova Zembla, and the Government of Tobolsk, and is
covered with eternal ice. In this ice a passage was dis-
covered which, for several months in the year, offers a
convenient path for traffic between Siberia and the Nor-
wegian harbour of Iromsoe.

THE Quoul HUNT.—On Saturday Messrs. Tat-
tersall sold by auction, at the Kennels, Quorndon the
whole of the horses connected with the late Quorn Hunt,
in consequence of the retiremnt of Mr. J. J. C. Musters,
the master. There was a large assemblage of gentlemen
but the bidding was very slow. Thirty-one lots were
offered, and the highest price obtained was for Valesman,
who was put up at 250 guineas, and sold for 300. Proctor
made 270 guineas ; while the animal making the lowest
price was Fenella, which fetched 23 guineas only. Mr.
Copeland, the new master, only made two unimportant
purchases. The total sum realised was 3,631 guineas.

ANOTHER DARING ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.—.
An attempt at burglary, or rather " window-fishing," as
it is called in the slang of criminals—similar in some re-
spects to that made about three weeks ago at Mr. Atten-
borough's establishment, Fleet-street and Chancery-lane
--was tried in the course of Saturday night or Sunday
morning at the establishment of Mr. Thomas William
Woodgate, of High Holborn. At night the windows are
secured by patent revolving iron shutters, which extend
from the facial board to the flags. In the section of the
shutters next to Dean-street, one of the courses of
iron—about the size of hoop-iron—which overlap each
other, was torn off the screws which secure it to the
frame of the shutters to the extent of about two
feet, during Saturday night or Sunday morning. The
layer of iron having been loosened, the succeeding ones
could be removed with but little difficulty ; but it would
appear that from some cause or other, probably disturb-
ance by the passers-by, the burglars abandoned their
design after the first step towards its accomplishment had
been taken. The screws are not disturbed the sheet-iron
having been forced through their heads. It has not been
reported that any suspicious-looking parties were seen
loitering about the place, and at present there is but
little prospect of discovering the experimentalists upon
Mr. Woodgate's shutters. The Chief Commissioner
of Police has issued a cautionary notice to householders in
view of the increasing number of burglaries and attempts
at them.

A. PERILOUS VOYAGE.—There is now being fitted
up in Liverpool, from which place she will sail in the
course of a few days, a small boat, about twenty feet long,
called the City of Raguse. The vessel is the property of
Captain Pimorez, but she will be sailed by Captain J. C.
Buckley, her destination after leaving the Mersey being
New York, from whence, should all go well, these adven-
turous voyageurs intend making the return trip. Both
gentlemen appear confident that with the course they have
planned out for themselves and fair weather, they
will be able to reach New York in about fifty days.
The City of Raguse is being made as comfartable
and as seaworthy as possible. She is covered over
her whole length, and lined inside to the flooring,
having a man-hole, or cockpit, amidships. Down "below"
is fitted up with as much comfort as the limited space
would permit of. There is a patent stove for cooking the
provisions,—there being three mouths' supplies on board
—on the voyage ; and also the sleeping space for either
skipper when he is not on " watch." The boat is rigged
as a yawl, and can spread about 70 yards of canvas ; her
tanks are capable of containing 100 gallons of water, but
should any accident occur by which it would be necessary
to lighten the vessel, a tap can be undone, and the
water, if necessary, allowed to escape. The City of
Raguse is fitted up with a two-bladed auxiliary pro-
peller, which can be worked by hand, on the
same principle as a ship's pump ; in fact, the
working of the screw pumps the boat dry at the same
time. The screw is not a permanent fixture, for when the
wind is fair it can be hoisted out of the water, and thus
there will be no drag on the vessel. Besides Captains
Pimorez and Buckley—the latter gentleman having
received the Royal Humane Society's medals for saving
life at sea—the only living thing on board will` be a fine
Newfoundland dog. The little City of Raguse has its
history. It formerly belonged to the ship Breeze, which
foundered in a terrific storm in the Channel. Into this
boat fourteen of the crew of the ship succeeded in getting,
,rid, after a gallant struggle against wind and sea, it
•cnded them safe at Ramsay, Isle of Man, and *as
nu; ht from thence to Liverpool for her present voraszeil
