THE GREEK TRAGEDY.
The Greek massacre has been made the subject of debate in both Houses of Parliament. Sir Roundell Palmer brought forward j the subject in the House of Commons, in a speech which was the ablest and clearest history of the whole transaction. In the Upper House Lord Carnarvon raised the question of the responsibility of the Greek Government. But Mr Gladstone and Lord Clarendon, however, deprecated a hasty decision, and urged the expediency of waiting for further information. All that has since come to hand tends to strengthen the case against the authorities, for it is now made abundantly clear that if they had delayed the movement of the troops, negotiations had reached that point, that the lives of the captives might have been saved. Seven of the bandits since taken, have been tried and executed.
