THE ACCIDENT
IN THE SPARK.

One of the most fatal ice accidents that
has taken place in this country for many
years happened on the ornamental water
IN Regent's-Park on Tuesday afternoon,
causing immersion of between one hun
dred and two hundred persons, and the
death of forty one.
The extent Of the calamity, and the
difficulty of rendering any effective assist
ance, will be apparent to those acquaint-
ed with the shape of the miniature lake.
It's outline may he roughly likened to the
letter Y, of which the straight portion
points in The direction Of York gate, and
the upper branches, one towards st.
John's-wOod and the other in the direc-
ton of Albany Barracks. Just where
these arms fork outwards, and where con-
sequenlly the sheet of water is at its
widest, The largest island in the lake oc-
ours, forming, from its secluded position,
the favourite abode of the waterfowl.
In the triangle that would be enclosed
by imaginary lines drawn from this island
to the grounds surrounding the private
residence known as "The Holmc," and
from thence to the edge of the lake front
ing and nearest to Sussex-place, there is,
perhaps, the best skating-ieId, and, I'M
fortunately, also some of the deepest wa
ter in the park. This was the spot where
the ice gave way.
Many touching incidents are recorded.
The female relatives of many of the sui
ferers witnessed their death struggles
from the bank without the possibility of
saving them. One lady saw her husband

only have the effect of reducing the in
surrectIonaI movement to what they term,
with a touch of e%uphemism, o guerrilla
warfare F.; but, as the so-called guerrilla
warriors must live at the expense of the
industrious Christians, those who know
Crete will say that the insurrection can
only be prolonged as a state of brlgan-
dage. The general opinion among for
eigners is that spring will powerfully aid
the operations of Mustapha Pasha, and
enable the Ottoman and Egyptian troops
to encamp in the high pasturages, there
by turning and commanding all the prin-
cipaI passes which now offer SO many
difficulties to their progress. The Greeks
cannot expel the Turks from the fortress
es, the protecting Powers will not, for
they have more important business to
attend to, and the credit Of Greece is
such hat no financial combination is
possible with the present system Of 60
vefnment in the Hellenic Kingdom.
Brigandage has been somewhat repress-
ed in Greece lately, but a daring attempt
was recently made TO levy contributions
III Acarnania, which has fortunately been
partially unsuccessful. The chiefs of
three bands sent a summons TO the De-
march of Astakos to pay them 10000
drachmas, the price Of a single English
traveller, or Alhenian wine merchant, or
they threatened to burn down the maya
zines at Aghios Pantelr6monos, now full
Of v~aIonea. The brigands omitted to
take the advantages to be derived from
telegraphs and steamers into their cal
cuIation, and Government was in time to
send soldiers and gendarmes from Patras
to protect the Demarch and the vaIonra.
But The brigands carried off two young
women from the huts of the nomade
shepherds in the neighOourhood, and
demand a large ransom for their release.

Crete with close scrutiny. Many of
those who have returned are sick some
are wounded, and all risked their lives
MANY times from Turkish bullets before
thew encountered Greek paving-stones.
Their appearance is sufficient evidence
that they have encountered severe hard
ships. Yet those who remained comfort
ably at Athens while they were march
ing and starving on the snow mountains
of Crete endeavoured TO murder them in
cold blood as a sacrifice to Greek vanity.
The Government has been weak enough
TO humour this assumption OF executive
power by democracy, and has battered
the popular frenzy instead of calming 1t.
The volunteers were landed on a desert
isIet in the Bay of Salamis, on which
there is q small chapel Of ST. George. 1t
is to tie hoped that they were supplied
with tents and %ratlons. Thus Greece
rewards those who fight in her cause.
The flank movement Of Mustapha
Pasha, which turned the Greek camp at
Zurba, and enabled him to occupy the
whole province of Selinos without losing
a man, compelled the Volunteers to re-
treat to the cold and elevated plain Of
OmaIos, where only q part could procure
food. The rest escaped into the district
of Sphakia, descending into the valley of
Samaria or Aghla RumeIi, or else wan
dering eastward 10 the plain of Annapolis
and Loutro. About 1000 collected in
these places. The Sphakiots who had
made their submission to Mustapha Pasha
advised them to send a deputatlon to the
Imperial Commissioner, asking for per-
mission TO return 10 Greece In foreign
vessels; and they enforced their advice
by refusing 10 furnish food TO the enc
mics of the Sultan. When the proposal
obtained the consent of Mustapha Pasha
the only foreign man-ot-War In Crete
which was Immediately ready to put to
sea was the SaIamander. On his arrival
ut LOutro Captain LeJeune found about
600 volunteers waiting to embark ; but
ms his own gunboat could not transport
more than 100, he persuaded $40 to en-
bark in a Turkish frigate and corvette,
which formed part of the Ottoman squad
ron on the southern coast of Creta now
cooperating with the movements of the
m About $50 volunteers are said to
have declined embarking in the Ottoman
frigate from fear lest they should be car
ried as prisoners of war to Constantine
pie.
1t is reported that other volunteers arc
DESTROYS Of quitting Crete, and two Off
GERS of rank in the Greek service who re-
ceived leave of absence to go to the ISL
aud are said to have sent a demand to
Mustapha Pasha to be allowed to return
to Greece in foreign vessels. The I'm
perial Commissioned has granted their
demand, but requires them to furnish
hin with lists of the officers and men
who are to be embarked with them, as
he will not allow any native Cretan to
depart as a volunteer.
1t is difficult TO seize the whole truth
on the spur of the moment. The first
flush of cool, deliberate falsehood and
calculated Misrepresentation bewilders
the unfortunate man who looks into the
muddy torrent of information through
which he must wade. Some Of the en-

and calls on the people TO save their pro-
Their. At the close of the melancholy
scene these young ladies were taken away
in the most pltiable state, and sent to
their home in a cab. Some of the rescu-
ed will perhaps never know to whom
they owe their preservation. We can
furnish an example. A man, apparently
a mechanic. was s%hriekIng for help about
fifty yards out, when his cries attracted
the attention of q gentleman in the crowd.
Without d moments hesitation he sprang
into the water, battered a passage through
the ice with his naked fist, and made for
the now sinking man, who Immediately
threw his arms round his neck and locked
him in d p~erilous embrace. To the hor-
ror of those who were watching the Incl
dent both disappeared for the instant, but
they ultimately returned safe amidst the
actual plaudits of the by-standers. The
gentleman, giving his companion into the
charge of several willing persons, disap-
peared before any one could speak to him.
Other acts like this will no doubt remain
untold.
Before the general breakup of the ice
three children were seen TO suddenly fall
through the ice and disappear. For the
moment everyone present, including the
Humane Soclety's men, seemed paralysed,
when suddenly u gentleman skated rapid
~ to the spot and plunged into the water.
With almost %superhuman power he seized
the three children, and managed to swim
with them q few wards until he was in his
depth. The Humane Society's man, who
had never riSked his life at all, received
the children from the gentleman. The
gentleman who thus heroically saved the
lives of three children at the risk of his
own was Mr.. Ernest COPELAND, q student
at the London Hospital.
One of the most exciting incidents was
that of a father holding his two children,
n boy and a girl, and who had held them
all the long thirty minutes of the acting
Of this terrible scene. He stood up 10
his waist in the water, hemmed in by
large masses of ice, holding his boy on
one shoulder and the girl under the other
arm. At length a boat made its way to
him, and he and his were brought safe
ashore amid the accIamations of the
crowd and some tears of mingled grief
and Joy. The father, Mr.. J. Dunton, of
Frederick-street, Hampstead-road, gives
the following account of his rescue =

my way to shore, holding them by the
hand, when the ice broke. One of them
was a little girl 7 years of age, and the
other a boy of IL. We were about seven
ty yards from the bank. Without a sec
ond's warning, the ice seemed to glide
from under us, leaving us in water quite
five feet deep. The two little ones sank
to the bottom, but rose again directly. I
made a grasp at each of them, and was
able to seize them by the shoulders, at
the same time holding on to the ice with
my left hand. When | had them thus far
safe I had time to look round. Such a
sight I hope never to see again. Quite
$50 persons were struggling for life.

allegations made in the libel. These allie
cations were specific, first, that at the close
of the war, the defendant was Quartermas-

States. Second, that a. such Quartermas-
ter he became possessed of 5000 bales of
cotton, which he brought to New York
city, and there sold for q million of doi>
lara. Third, that the proceeds of such
cotton has been invested in real and per-

war, it must have been known to many.
He could not have brought 5000 bales OF
cotton to the city Of New York secretly
and privately he could not have inyesteda

the persons from whom he bought. There
