IMPORTANT CRErAs NEws-By mail advice,

IhPoRTANT CRETAN NEws.-By mail adyices
from Crete to the 18th of January, we have the
following interesting items OF intelligence.
The Turks themselves acknowledged that
the Grand Vizier Ali Pasha had entirely failed
in his mission, and it is commonly believed
that he was about TO return to Constantinople.
Many of the leading Cretan Turks were be-
ginning to express themselves favorably on the
subject ofan eventual annexation of the island
to Greece. t.f.Aa4
Saba Pasha, the newly named Turkish
Governor of Sphakia, was twice attacked by
the people of the Province while proceeding to
take possession of his command, and was CON-
PEELED to retrace his steps after losing some Of
his fol lowers. .-..... .4..
Seven more Provinces had voted tor union
with Greece.
The Cretans have this day declared them
selves by 10000 votes free from the Sultan
and forming part OF The Dominion of King
George. .r .. 81.
Two more Turkish batallions had arrived at
the island from Thessaly, but on the other
hand the Russians were engaged in saving the
women and children from the brutality of the
soldiers.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
The superb sleighing still continues. A

STATE coNsrABLEs vs.. INGALLS,.
Two or three weeks ago, a. l informed your
readers at the time, Deputy Constable W. H.
Waldron, with two others, made descent up
on the shop of Charles ingalls,, Auburn, and
seized about one gallon of liquor. Just before
the seizure was made Ingalls, was scent to
pour something into the jug containing the
liquor, and told the constables that it was
ready for them-that it was poisoned. But
one of the cons tables, who did not hear the
statement made by Ingalls,, tasted the liquor,
and such were his sensations that he verify
thought he was poisoned. The liquor was
submitted to the examination of seyeral apoth-
ecaries and doctors, who concluded that the
liquor contained Prussic acid Indeed one OF
the doctors, having tasted it, experienced, in a
marked degree, the effects of Prussc acid, and
so testified before Judge Smith, when ingalls,
was arraigned npon a charge of attempting to
poison the State Cons tables.
To-day Mr.. ingalls, was discharged by Judge
Smith nothing having been found against him.
The liquor proved to be ginger beer, with an
addition of cayenne pepper. The liquid which
was poured into it at the time of the seizure,
was solution Of potash, about two grains,
which the son,of Mr.. Ingalls, had in the shop
for the regulation of his juvenile moustache.
Two grains of potash can be taken at any
time without danger. These two grains were
diluted with gallon of niger beer The won
derful effect it produced upon the gentlemen
who tasted it, is one more Illustration of the
power of the Imagination.

it is reported there that crisis is imminent in
the Dominion Cabinet, and that "seats will be
offered 10 Mr.. Howe and other Nova Scotian
leaders" 1t must be a terrible crisis indeed if
it has become necessary to give seats on the
ministerial benches to men whose prominence
is due to their inveterate hostility to the whole
scheme of confederation and their openly ex-
pressed determination to overthrow it at the
earliest practicable moment .a-At
