MR. BUCKSTONE OF TUE HA I MARKET.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Sin,—ln your report of the Oxford Commetnora-
rion I was pained to read that my natne was re-
cived with groans, while cheers were given for
Governor Eyre. It is possible that your reporter
.nay have meant Mr. Buxton, M.P., but he has
-pelt the name " Buckstone." Now, as my ideas
re exactly ()hosed to those entertained by Mr.
Buxton, and feeling it is the first time that the name
of Buokstone was ever recAved with groans, may I
ask you to correct the mistake ? Ido not wish to
bring an action for libel, but—.—Truly yours,
JNO. B. BCCKSTONE.

REMA mcs.

Very litt"e is reported in barometrical pressures during the
last twenty-fuiir Lotus : at the western stations readinzs aro about
one-teeth of an inch lower. Pressure at Scarborough is more than
four-tei.ths of an hie:, below that at L'Orient. Since yesterday tem_
reratures h•i. c ris, n in the um th and west, and are generally very
high. The 1 "n yesterday was rather fresh from the eastward on our
southein coast. Light vri,:ds are reported this morning from
northern et :ions : on our other coasts winds are moderate, with
directions varyi g between south and east. The weather continues
very dry.

The assassins of Prince Michael appear to have done
their work con amore. The Note Preie Prase says :
" Whilst the Prince, struck by three balls, was lying
lifeless on the ground, one of the assassins threw
himself on the body and plunged a knife into
it several times. It was mutilated and hacked,
and the nose was literally cut off. The body has
three gaping wounds, the arm and leg are pierced,
and the articulations of the hand so injured that
the glove which he wore hal to be cut from end to end to
draw it off. The wounds in the face produced a frightfu
picture. What gives a more terrible aspect to the miller
is the report that the poignards and knives were poisoned.
The murderers fired sixteen shots." This extravagance of
violence seems to indicate that the assassins were not mur-
derers in the pay of another person, but the avengers of
some wrong of their o.vu. In the meanwhile Russian and
Austrian diplomatists are mutually accusing each other of
having perpetrated the crime.

A correspondent of the Morning Post sends that journal
an account of a recent visit to Crete. He went from
Constantinople to Suda Bay on board the Turkish
gunboat Candia. This vessel is one of the five
blockade-runners that the Turkish Government
bought from the Americans after the war. She came
down with her holds crammed with stores and provisions
of various kinds, so that there remained no other place for
the stowage of the bullion that was also carried (0 ),030)
than the cabins, which were consequently filled completely
with sacks of silver and small bronze moneys, and kept
sacredly locked. All hands, therefore, slept and lived on
deck. On heard there were four companies of infantry.
Arrived at Kanea, the correspondent found the troops well
employed in making roads and building fortified stations at
intervals. One that is advancing the most rapidly at
present starts from Kanea, by Galata and Alikiani to the
east, to a little distance beyond which place it is complete,
and then turns down . the Ddrd southward across the
island by Omalo; and so on to the coast. Fortified towers
are also in course of construction across the eastern
end of the island, comrna,nding, the passes, and it is on
the s'tcs of these works that a little harassing war-
fare is kept up from day to day. Wherever the
troops move to work, bodies of insurgents follow them,
and 1 y taking up safe positions are able to give
the troops some annoyance. In a skiimish which took
place at Alikiani two clays before the date of the com-
munication (.June 1), one captain, two sergeants, and fire
or six mm were sent in wounded, and the insurgents were
stated to have h st some fifteen or twenty. There had been
some little row at Candia, and Omar Pasha had shewn the
writer a sort of infernal machine that the Cretans were
using, comprising a tin case, capable of containing about
tiOib. of powder, and a little clock machine apart from,
but capable of being attached to it, which, being wound up,
explodes the w' ole at the time that it is set fur. The
invention is said to be American. The p:ana and WQ'
