The Weather, the Parks, &e.

UPWARDS OF 100,000 PERSONS ON THE ICE

IN THE ROYAL PARKS.

The various parks were yesterday patronised by a far
greater number of persons than on any previous day during
the present season. The wind was exceedingly cold and
cutting, and such scenes as took place along the foot
promenades have not been witnessed for several years.
Westminster-bridge, Parliament-street, and the approaches
to St. James's Park were almost impassable to persons com-
ing from a contrary direction by those wending their way to
that locality, either for skating themselves or to witness the
evolutions of others, Kensington Gardens had some 20,000
spectators on the foot promenades, whilst the carriage drives
were thronged with vehicles containing visitors anxious to
witness the graceful evolutions of the sliders and skaters. In
the Regent's Park the lamentable catastrophe of Tuesday last
did not in the least degree tend to keep back tens of thousands
of spectators. The Victoria Park, perhaps, had a greater
number of spectators than even the West-end parks.
The great centre of attraction, however, was the pro-
menade in front of the Long Water in Kensington Gar-
dens. The bank on the north side was studded with
ladies and gentlemen.
The public roads were last night in an exceedingly
slippery state, and several omnibus proprietors took advan-
tage of the weather by doubling their fares. Those run-
ning from the King and Queen, at Paddington to Farring-
don-street, still kept to their original fare of 2d., but the
fare from Albert-gate to Hyde Park-corner by some of
the other omnibuses was 6d. This sudden rise in the price
of locomotion caused considerable grumbling and delay on
he roads.

It was truly distressing to witness the scenes that too
place on the Surrey side of the river, more especially amongst
persons attending the funerals of their relatives. The
horses drawing hearses and mourning coaches could not get
along from tho slippery state of the roads without slipping
and plunging. On Saturday night a man who was annoyed
by some boys in Bowyer-lane, Camberwell, ran after them,
chased them to the edge of a sewer forming there, but
owing to its slippery state he rolled over the embankment,
a depth of 20 feet it is supposed. He was drawn out and
taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, when he was found to be
dead.

The following are tho official reports of the proceedings
in the parks up to 9 o'clock last night :
ST. JAMES'S PARK.

The number of sliders and skaters was 20,000. Five per-
sons broke through the ice, and were taken to the socicty's
tent. They wore attended to by Deputy-superintendent
Perry; but no less than 30 persons were either tripped up
by the skaters or fell upon the ice, by which they received
serious cuts on their heads and faces, some being of a very
dangerous character. One man, named George Brown, of
151, Drury .lane, after falling upon the ice, was taken to the
society's tent, when Deputy-superintendent Perry found
that ho had received a contusion of tho knee, and was in a
state of convulsion arising from being stunned by the
fall. Perry had Mr. F. R. Phayer, assistant to Dr. M'Oann,
sent for, who deemed it necessary to remove him to the
hospital.

to was removed to St. George's Hospital. On Saturday a
gentleman named John Doughty, of 12, Little Marl-
borough-street, had his leg broken, and after being at
tended to in the society's receiving-house had to be re-
moved to St. George's Hospital.

THE LONG WATER, KENSINGTON-GARDENS.

Fifteen thousand ladies and gentlemen, including many
members of the nobility belonging to the Skating Club,
ventured upon this splendid sheet of ico, which is now in
first-rate condition, it being nearly four inches in thickness.
No accident of any importance took place during the day.
Messrs. Spencer, Turner, and Boldero, of Lisson-grovo,
have written to Mr. L. Young, and state in their letter
that as a severe drain has been made upon the resources of
tho Royal Humane Society, they proposed to raise a small
subscription to express the sympathy of the firm with the
society, and to recognise the conduct of the icemen, police-
constables, and others who rendered distinguished services
to the sufferers, and who endeavoured to meet the wishes
of those who have been painfully bereaved of relatives and
friends. Mr. Bright, who brough the communication to
Mr. Young, showed that the firm had subscribed three
guineas, and others smaller sums, amounting in the whole
to over £5.

The Candian Insurrection.

ATHENS, Jan. 10.

Advices have been received here from Candia to
the 4th inst. They were brought to the Pireus by
the Russian steamer Taman, which left Canea on
the evening of the 4th inst., and proceeded thence
to Selinon and Sphakia with orders to take on board
some Cretan families if no opposition were offered
by the Turks. Unfortunately, however, bad weather
prevented the Taman from fulfilling her mission.
According to the intelligence brought by this vessel
Zimbrakakio had established his head quarters at
Omalos. The Cretan Assembly continued to sit at
Aya, Roumelia. The winter has set in with great
severity, and caused much suffering among the in-
surgents, whose courage and energy nevertheless
continued unabated. On the 31st Dec. Mustapha
Pasha sent a steam vessel to Sphakia, and invited
the villages of that district to send representatives
to him, which the Sphakates refused to do. It was
thought probable therefore that Mustapha Pasha
would march against them. On the 3d January an
Italian iron clad frigate, and a despatch boat of the
same nation, anchored in the roads of Sonda. These
Vessels probably belonged to the flotilla sent by the
Italian Government to support its representations
on the subject of the Principe Tomasso. The Turkish
fovernor, suspecting that incendiary journals and
otters found their way into the island through seve-
ral consuls, requested from the French and English
i
Consuls permission to open the despatches addressed
k them. This request was acceded to by the French,
but refused by the English Consul.
The Governor's dragoman went to the Austrian
Lloyd's mail packet agency and requested to be
allowed to open despatches addressed to the Greek
Consul, which, however, the agent declined to permit.
The Greek steamers Panhellemum and Hydra
have made their eighth voyage to Crete with provi-
sions and ammunition for the insurgents, notwith-
standing the surveillance of the coast by Turkish
cruisers.

The new Greek Ministry has submitted to the
Chamber several important bills, one of which grants
the concession for draining Lake Copias to a French
company ; another bill grants to the Ministry of
War a credit of one million in order to make im-
provements in the armament of the national forces
commensurate with recent inventions. Diplomatic
missions are about to be sent abroad, and the ap-
pointments are stated to be as follows :—M. Brailas
(ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs), to London ; M.
Theodore Delyaunis (ex-Mini.ster), to Paris; M.
Spyridon Metaxas (ex-deputy), to St. Petersburg ;
M. Conduriottis (deputy and ex-Minister), to Flo-
rence; M. Gregoire Ypsilautis (deputy), to Vienna
and Berlin ; M. Rangairs (ex-Minister) to Wash-
ington ; M. Pierre Delyannis will continue to repre-
sent Greece at Constantinople.

Circular Dispatch of the Turkish Government

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 14.
Subjoined is the text of the circular dispatch for-
warded on the 26th ult. by the Turkish Government
to its representnives at Paris, London, and St.
Petersburg, in which complaint is made of the recont
policy pursued by Greece :

" Constantinople, Dec. 26.
" Sir,—You have already learnt from my former
dispatches the pacification of the island of Crete
and the concentration of the remaining insurgents
solely at the two points of Selinos and Kissamos. I
hope to be able to announce to you by telegraph
their complete Subjugation before the arrival of
this despatch. It is notorious, Sir, that the insur-
rection might have been suppressed far sooner, and
perhaps without bloodshed, if Hellenic agitators
entering from abroad had not influenced the inha-
bitants of the island by criminal intrigues and
menacing threats, which have only contributed to
prolong the revolt and increase the number of the
unfortunate victims.

" When the liellenes became convinced of the
non-success of their guilty plans with regard to Crete
they began openly to disturb tranquillity in Epirus
and Thessaly. Throwing aside all disguise, they
come to organise bands of robbers, who cross the
frontiers under the protection of ,the military force
of the Greek Government assembled at Lamia and

" Large preparations have been made by sea and
on land with the intention of more energetic pro-
ceedings in the spring.
" We find ourselves, therefore, at present not face
to face with an insurrection at home, but in pre-
sence of a Government which endeavours and
makes manifest preparations to revolutionise our
to be able to state that
territory. I am happy
notwithstanding the most violent intrigues of
Greece, the greatest quiet prevails throughout the
empire. In view of the events now becoming de-
veloped, therefore, we feel thoroughly convinced
that friendly Powers will admit that the manifestly
hostile conduct of the Greek Government, both with
regard to Crete and to the general tranquillity in
the other provinces of the realm, is without parallel
between two States living at peace. They will'
at the same time admit that the Sublime Porte,
solely inspired by the wish of preserving peace, has
given proofs of unexampled self-denial. But there
are limits which cannot and must not be over-
stepped, and it can hardly longer remain a matter
of indifference to his Imperial Majesty the Sultan
that a considerable portion of his subjects who
desire to live quietly and enjoy the protection
guaranteed to them, should fall sacrifices to the
passions and destructive schemes of Greek ad-
ventures, and that the tranquilllity of his empire
should be disturbed and endangered. If there-
fore the Greek Government, settling aside the
obligations imposed upon it by treaties, should
persevere in the course it has hith2rto pursued, the
Imperial Government will find itself compelled to
adopt measures required by the duty of providing
for its own security, leaving at the same time to the
Greeks the full responsibility for all the conse-
quences such measures might entail.
We are of opinion, sir, that the three protecting
Powers of Greece, who so sincerely uphold peace and
tranquillity in the East, and in like manner wish to
see the treaties held invioltate which guarantee the
integrity of the re dm, will alone be able to avert
this possibility by bringing back, through collective
and effectual action, the Greek Government to the
path of legality and international duties, and by
categorically declaring that they disapprove their
present conduct. I repeat, sir, that we look upon
such action as the only means to induce the Cabinet
of Athens to change its aggressive attitude, to bring
the Greek revolutionary party to reason, and finally,
to avert a breach between the two Governments,
of ter the Sublime Porte has already vainly exhausted

all its efforts to prevent matters from coming to ex-
tremity.
" I request you, sir, plainly to represent this posi-
tion of affairs to the Government to which you have
the honour to be accredited, and urgently to beg it
to address energetic counsels in the above-mentioned
sense to the Cabinet of Athens. You will at the same
time add that, in case this step should unfortunately
remain without the desired result, and Greece
should continue not to fulfil the duties imposed upon
her by treaties, the Government of his Majesty
the Sultan will then, although with regret, find
itself compelled to make such arrangements as may
be demanded by the interests of self-preservation.
" You are empowered to read this present de-
spatch to his Excellency the Minister for Foreign
Affairs in the Government to which you are accre-
dited, and, should he so desire, to leave him a copy
of the same.—Receive, &c., " AALI."
