a FINANCIAL. AND COMMERCIAL. Satunpay, Dec, 26—6 P. M. ‘The weekly bank statement is not regarded as un- favorable. It shows contraction in the item of loans and losses in specie and legal tenders.

The decrease fm joans 1s the result of contraction against the quarterly statement. The losses in deposits and legal tenders are attributable to the shipment of cur- Feucy southward and westward and to the with- ‘drawal of funds by the country banks. The money market worked closely at the begin- ming of business, and although more active than on ‘Thursday, was less so than in the earlier portion of the week. The rate during the forenoon was seven per ocut in gold, with exceptional cases of com- missions and exceptional transactions in currency. Later m the day funds were more abundant, or rather were offered more freely, unaer tive induce- ment of earning two days’ interest, and the rate declined to seven percent in currency. The course of the money market for the ensuing week ts a sub- Ject of much coucern, but as the banks wiil be under the necessity of contracting still further in order to help their appearance in the quarterly statement there is little hope of a relaxation until after the advent of the New Year.

A Oretan View of the Present Troubles Be- tween Turkey and Greece—History and Situ- ation of Crete—Why European Powers Sup- port the Turks. To THR Epiror oF THE HERALD:— -It ts well known that the island of Crete, though of small extent, was, owing to its fine harbors and productive wealth, one of the most valuable posses. sions of the ancient Greck empire, and in the days of Venice the most flourishing emporium of the East. The invasion of the Mussulman destroyed all this prosperity, and leaving out of account consid- erations of religion and social ethics and regarding the Mussulman influence only from its effect upon the material resources of Crete, it must be admitted that it was fatal to all trade and enterprise, and aiming only to grind the people down with taxation without doing anything in the way of constructing roads and of protection and promotion of property and industry. When the Greek war of mdependence released Greece and Crete from the domination of the Mussul- man, Greek merchants at once became powerful ali over the world, and Crete, after enjoying freedom from Islamism from 1827 to 1530, would have fully ticipated in this reyeneration of the Heilenes as a leading commercial nation if (by & transaction which was declared to have been scandalous by Leopold of Belgmm, Lord Palmerston and other public men) Crete had not been bartered away vo the Pgyptians and by them to the Mussulmans, contrary to all law and equity and in open defiance of the right to na- tional dependence, which by their heroic participa- tion in the Hellenic war of independence of 1821 to 1527 the Cretans had conquered along with their com- patriots on the Hellenic continent. The Cretan peo- ple, Who are all of the Hellonic race, protested from the outset against the Moslem usurpation tnposed upon them against thefr will and in flagrant viola- tion of their Inherent and national rights. When they again and ain rose in rebellion against the Moslem = tt as simply adding imsult to injury to cail them “insurgents,” since they did ‘not rise against a lawful government, but against one which they never ceased to stigmatize as unlawful, and which wasso Little entitled to its claims of sovercignty that Leopold of Belgiuw, a prince remarkable for his wisdom and moderation, publicly contirmed the Cretan —— in thetr right of national independence, by deciaring to those who invited him to become King of the Hellenes that he would only consent if the Moslem were to relinquish his pretensions upon Crete, and if the island were placed on a footing of independence hike the other parts of ce, that had come triumphantly out of the war of independence. The Cretans, although apparently deserted by the Powers whose honor was involved in tuetr liberauon, were undaunted in thelr determination never to recognize the Turk as their lawful sovereign, and, indeed, the great Powers themselves imphediy supported tals determination to limiting the usurpation of the Porie and making it contingent upon the fuliliment of certain conditions. These conditions imposed npou the Turks a faithful regard and solicivude for the welfare and interest of tne Cretat Christians, but as they were ruthlessly broken by tho Governors who ‘Were sent from Constantinople to Crete the people, who bore up wiia almost supernatural meck- ness under the most excruciating exactions, persecutions and oppressions, were at length driven by the sheer tnstinct of sei(-preservation to assert with arms in their hands the vindication of their national rights, which, ever since 1850, they had never ceased io uphold and defend. The great Powers, indignant ageinst* the Mosiem for having violated the conditions upou which he Was so latally periut- ted by them to usurp the national ielienic power in Crete, commenced by giving aid and comfort to the Cretans by allowing thetr men-ol-war to protect Cretan women and children against Turkish outrages and cruelties and to convey them to the safe guar- dianship of their compatriots under the King of the Hellenes. The Marquis de Moustier, the French Ain- bvassador at Constantinople and afterwards Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared publicly that “Crete was lost to the Moslem,’ and ail the nations of Christen- dom, and most emphatically the United States, naiied to plead in behulf of the Cretais. jut while the Cretans organized a provisional gov- ernment, more than two years ago, i divided the island into twenty-four districts, each district com- munteating throwgh its respective committee with Q the generai provisional goverament, the mem which are elected by the Cretan National As- sembly;« While they consolidated datly their indeyendence and noting was needed two itm it but ecognition, of the foreign Powsis, there 6 ie ide a Change over the Bonaparte And English Levantine politicians. They began to fear tua’, if Turkish rule ln Crete were to fall, there would be a general rising of the Christians all over the Kast agatast the Mohame- dans, aud that thereby the mniversal desire of the commercial cummunitics of Europe for the peaceful progress of their enrichment miguat be baffled by the outbreak of a general A, although it might ‘ar, | treo Christianity from the scourge of Turkish domina- tion, might at vac same time endanger the monetary intereats of the world. Allof a sudden the Covstt- tutionnel, Napoleon's oMiciai paper, received orders not to mention again the name of Crete, while the numerous Frencn papers, subsidized by the Moslem and monetary interests, deluged the world with the news that the provi onal government of Crete had ceased to exist,’’ that the so-called insurrection was at an end, and that the Cretan women and children were tinplot the Sultan, on their knees, to be al- lowed to eseape from the Hellenic dungeons and to return to the charming and elevating soctety of his pachas and soldiery in Crete! While (his false news was sedaiously disseminated, aud to such an extent that the Cretans had even to contend against this worldwide conspiracy of misrepresentating their con- dition, as well as against the enmity of the Turk and his supporters, the provisional government of. Crete persevered, nevertheless, in its fartaful aad eMicteut administration of the tsland, and, strange to =o but fully attested by the sequel of these events, the blockading aquadron of Turkey was unable to bar the way to the Hellenic steamers freighted with pro- visions and atamunition, while the land forces of the Porte were unable to retain any other portion of the island excepting a few forts, from which they dare not isaue except ii battle array and into which they | are virtually imprisoned.

It was no use for those who returned here from Crote, Athens and Syra to record, as eye witnesses, the fact of the sufferings in Crete, and of the presence in Greece of 60,000 refugee Cretan fumides, chiehy women and children, aged and infirm men, and their unwilling- hess to retura to Crete before its independence was fully recognized. It was useless to attest to the truth, when thousands of voices, hired to teil falsehoods, arose from every organ of the Moslem. But all of a sudden came the news that there was nojpeace, that there was war, Surely if the insurrection were at an end, and if the Cretan women and children had returned to Crete, the Turk would not have declared war to the Hellenic government, The fact is that it could not be any longer concealed that Crete had actually achieved her independence, and that the pro- vasioual yoverument of Crete was indeed more safely rooted in the affection ofthe Hellenic race than even. the provisional governments of Venezuela and Spain in the atfection of their respective people. This fact pcnny Sand longer concealable it was still hoped by the tory Napoleonic and Mosiem party that by a declara- tion of War the Helienes might be frightened to such an extent as to advise their Cretan brethren to overthrow their provisional government, to pardon the outrages committed upon their women, the desecration of their churches, the massacres of their non-coinbatant citizens, and to submit again to the Moslem usurpation, unlawiul as it had been in its inception and ruinous and murderous in its resuits. But this hope was also doomed to be bafiied, and the inference of all this ts simply this—that in this age the spirit of liberty cannot be crushed by the manipulation of its enemies, and.that whatever may be said of the frail tenure of Turkish rule in other Christan regions; in Crete since 1827 it was never tolerated by the people as a lawful government. . Further, ifthe European Powers are involved in war in consequence of the Hellenic determination to support their Cretan compatriots, they are aad punished for having consented to wink at the bargain which resold a free people into Egyptian and Alvsiem bondage, and for having sided with the usurper when even those conditions upon which they themselves made his leuse of usurpation con- Ungent were flagrantly violated.

The alarm was given and the captain followed after his horse, came up with the thtef and demanded his property. The thief drew a reuolver and tired at the captain three times, one of the balls striking him in the breast and killing him almost instantly. ‘the coun- try was aroused, the thief pursued and captured.
