A Greek man-of-war has opened fire on a Turkish transport on the way to Crete with troops to suppress the disturbances there, and has driven her back into port.

It will be very curious if the Eastern Question proper should be settled by a contest between the Turks and the Greeks over Cretan affairs, a minor issue In the great struggle, while Russia stands by, ready, as in Korea and China, to step in when the fighting is over and gather in for herself all the honours and rewards. We doubt if the Greeks, unaided, could defeat the Turks or seriously affect the stability of the Turkish Empire in a regular war, hut they may, and probably will, aucceed in preventing the Sultan sending aid to bis Lleutenants in CreteTM and in so hampering his movements that the Cretans may be able to achieve their Advertisements, &c., be addressed to the "hanagar, Hon Independence.
