THE CAIiDIAN INSURRECTION.

ATHENS, Nov. 29.

Intelligence received yesterday from Candia I
brings details of the affair at Arcadion, telegraphed
upon the 25th.
Arcadion is a convent situated in a strong posi-
tion in the department of Itethymnos. It was
occupied altogether by 540 persons, 343 of whom
were women and children, leaving 197 men capable
of bearing arms. Coroneos does not appear to
have been in the place, as was incorrectly reported.
Upon the 20th Mustapha Pasha left his head-
quarters at Episcopi with 12,000 men, and ad-
vanced upon the convent, demanding the surrender
of the garrison. The Cretans refused, and the
Turkish artillery immediately opened a tremendous
fire upon the place, keeping up the bombardment
two days andnights. A breach being at last effected
in the walls, the Turks, who had suffered heavy
losses, poured into the convent court. 'This was
surrounded with small cells, in which the Christians
had barricaded themselves, and kept up their
fire for six hours. Finding all resistance ineffec-
tual, the defenders of the convent formed the des-
perate resolution of setting fire to the powder ma-
gazine. A monk applied the match. The explo-
sion was tremendous, hurling Turks and Christians
into the air, strewing the neighbourhood with
corpses. Two thousand Turkish soldiers were
killed on the spot, and large numbers wounded:
Thirty-nine men and GO women and children of the
garrison were all that escaped. These were taken
prisoners, and carried off to Rethymnos. The
wounded Turks are being daily brought into hos-
pital. Canea and Souda have received upwards of
a thousand, many being officers, among them being
Muatapha's brother-in-law.

CRUELTY BY A COACHMAN.—At the Brentford
Petty Sessions on Saturday John Taylor, late coach-
man in the service of Lord John Chichester, residing at
Twickenham, was charged by
the Secretary to the Royal
Society fcr the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with
cruelly over-driving and ill-treating, on the 7th ult., a
horse belonging to Lord Chichester. It appeared that on
the day in question the prisoner, without permission of his
master, rode a grey horse from Richmond-bridge to a trot-
ting match, which was to have taken place et Sunbury,
but which, owing to the intervention of the police, was
held near Maidenhead. The prisoner followed to that place,
and rode the horse as a spectator. Upon arrival at Maiden-
head his horse had thrown two shoos, and a farrier put two
new shoes on, and cautioned the prisoner against riding
the horse any further, as it was so distressed. He did not,
however, act on this advice, but rode the animal home-
wards. When he reached Longford the ostler at the well-
known "Peggy Bedford's" advised him to put the horse up
and go home by railway. The prisoner, in reply, said he
was afraid he should not reach home, but still he wont on,
and upon reaching Hounslow the horse fell down from ex-
haustion, and after a good deal of whipping, as the animal
could not move, it was carried into a stable, whore it died
on the 9th. The Chairman (Mr. Glossop) observed that
the Bench had carefully considered this case, and were of
opinion that nothing less than a severe sentence could be
pronounced. The full penaltv of three months' imprison-
ment would not be inflicted, 'owing to the good character
prisoner had received from his lordship, but a pecuniary
penalty would probably be paid by prisoner's friends, and
so virtually be no punishment at all ; the Bench had,
therefore, decided on sending the accused to prison for one
month, with hard labour.
