The Sun. — 1868-06-19 (London, England)

REMARKS.  very little change is reported in barometrical pressures during the last twenty-fonr hours : at the western stations readings are about one-tet.th of an inch lower. Pressure at Scarborough is more than four-tel.ths of an inch below that at L'Orient. Since yesterday temperatures have risen in the north and west, and are generally very high. The vII 1 yesterday was rather fresh from the eastward on our southern coast. Light winds are reported this morning from northern st, ions : on our other coasts winds are moderate, with directions varyi g between south and cart. The weather continues very dry.  The assassins of Prince Michael appear to have done their work con amore. The Neue Preis Trsse says : " Whilst the Prince, struck by three balls, was lying lifeless on tlee ground, one of the assassins threw himself •on the body and plunged a knife into it several times. It was mutilated and backed, 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 had 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 murder 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 vii. 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 (E3),0)0) than the cabins, which were consequently filled completely with sacks of silver and small bronze moneys, and kept sacredly locked. • All bands, therefore, slept and lived on deck. On board 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 ICanea, by Galata and Alikiani to the east, to a little distance beyond which place it is complete, and then turns down the D6rt southward across the island by Omalo, and so on to the coast. Fortified towers are also in course Of comtruction across the eastern end of the island, commanding the passes, and it is on the sates of these works that a little harassing war fire is kept up from day to day. Wherever the troops move to work, todies of insurgents follow them, and ly taking up safe positions are able to give the troops some annoyance. In a skirmish which took place at Alikiani two days before the date of the corn. munication (June 1), one captain, two sergeants, and five Or six men were sent in wounded, and the insurgents were stated to have lost some fifteen or twenty. There bad 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 '6olb. of powder, and a little clock machine apart from, but capable of being attached to it, which, being woundup, explodes the w:.ole at the time that it is set for. The invention is said to be American. The pans and mat ;Mai 4i ar.9 041; PrIVY VaCArailds
