BOURSE, Jan. 3, Two o'clock.-The Emperor's
Speech continues to be viewed in a favourable light,
and to have a beneficial influence on the settlement,
which to-day includes all foreign stocks and securi-
ties as well as French Railway, Credit, and Miscel-

Lyons shares from lfr. 25c. to 2fr., ou Orleans 75e.

other hand, there is a deport on Credit Mobilier
shares varying from lfr. to 75c., and on Comptoir
d'Escompte from 90c. to 50c. Under these circum-
stances the market is more buoyant, and an advance
has taken place. French Threes have gained 10c.
-at 691 r. 75c., taking yesterday's deport into ac-
count. Italian Fives 10c.-at 56fr. 25c. Credit

The Insurrection in Candia.

_ ~.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

ATHENS, Dec. 27.

M. Soliotis, who commanded the Greeks in the
engagement at Cares, district of Apocoronon, in
Candia, already announced by telegraph, has writ-
ten a letter describing the affair, which has been
published in this city. Subsequent advices from the
island to Dec. 19 represent the loss of the Turks in
the engagement at 1,000 killed and wounded. The
insurgents occupied the positions of Phokes, Hostes,
Prasses, Zourva, and Cacopetron, thus dominating
the pass of Apocoronon, at Selmon, both by Mount
Omalos and the plain. Byzantios, who had under-
taken the siege of the fortress of Kissamos, had
complied with the request 41 the General Assembly,
and abandoned an operation the success of which
would have been of no service to the Greeks. Byzan-
tios afterwards joined Zimbrakakis. The bad
weather and constant rains had compelled the belli-
gerents to suspend hostilities.
The English gunboat Assurance, which brought
some Cretan families to Athens, returned two days
afterwards to Candia; but on reaching the island she
found another gunboat, the Wizard, which arrived
on the 15th from Matta to_replace the Assurance.
Comparison of dates will not admit the supposition
that the recall the Assurance is due to a dis-
avowal of the philanthropic conduct of Commander
Pym. The Assurance arrived in the Piraeus on the
13th, while the Wizard anchored in the port of
Sonda on the 15th. Now, as there is no telegraph
between Candia and the continent, the English
Government could only have received information
on the 13th at the earliest of the act of Commander
Pym, and the Assurance cannot therefore have
been recalled on that account. The Wizard is a
smaller vessel than the Assurance, and this would
render her incapable of performing a similar act of
humanity. A report has been in circulation that
the Russians would send some vessels to Crete to
rescue the sufferers. But at the last moment it was
found that the instructions from the Home Govern-
ment were insufficient. M. Bontakow, commander
of the Grand Admiral; and M. Dendrino, Russian
Consul at Canea, are instructed to give refuge
on board the Russian vessels to Cretan families
hile respecting the blockade. They would thus
have to apply for permission to that effect from the
Turks, who would certainly refuse it. The com-
mander and the consul have therefore demanded
fresh instructions from St. Petersburg, but commu-
nication being difficult at the present season, the
question will not probably be settled until the
winter is over, and with it the suffering of the un-
happy Cretan families. The condition of those who
were brought here by the Assurance is such as to
excite compassion in the most insensible breast.
They arrived in the most utter destitution. The
delegates of the Anglo-Hellenic committee of Lon-
don received them on landing, and took them under
their protection.
The Chamber reopened on the 22d inst. There
was no speech from the throne. The election of
the 'President did not take place until yesterday,
when M. Crestenitis, the Opposition candidate,
obtained 94 out of 100 votes. The Ministry sup-
ported no candidate for the post,
