BOUND OVER" Chip" and John
Hunnel were held to bail by the City
Recorder, on Saturday, in the sum Of
$4,000 each. which they gave. for their
assault on Thornton. The latter was
not able to appear, and the prelimi-
nary examination was continued until
January 18th, to enable Thornton to
be present. It is probable, however,
that the Grand Jury will take cogni-
zance Of the matter. The cause Of
the ARRAY was about a shooting
cracker, and "Chip" was so much
intoxicated that he declared he knew
nothing of the affair until told of it
next morning. The parties were on
very intimate terms during the after
noon, previous to the fight.
We learned from DR.. Runeio, yes
terday evening, that Thornton is
rapidly recovering, and he is consid-
cred entirely out of danger.

CRETE.-At the Cretaa relief meeting
held in New York, Friday evening, the
following despatch was read by William
Cullen Bryant, the. Chairman of the
NEE ing
at is with great satisfaction that we
hear that public opinion in the United
States still expresses itself strongly in
favor Of The struggling Cretans, and tina
there is some hope of a speedy recog-
milton of Crete as an independent State.
The generous measures on the part of
such nation will have great influence
on the political organization of the is
land. The winter season has brought
about certain luke warmness in the OPP
erations O. the war but notwithsta nd
ing their immense difficulties, the Gre
tans have not and will not cease fighting
for their liberty. One of the creates
draw backs is the want of provisions and
munitions of war. Although Greece,
the whole Hellenic race, and friends of
civilization and humanity throughout
the world, hive never ceased support
ing the Cretan cause the obstacles we
have to contend with are very great,
