TURKEY AND THE EASTERN QUESTION.
; An interesting discussion raised by the JDake of Argyle in the House of Lords on pa the Bth Eeb., opened up the whole Eastern .question. His Grace objected to the strict non-intervention policy, on which Lori Stanley has acted ,in reference to the Cretan insurrection. He wduld bring renewed pressure to bear upon the Sultan to induce him to fulfil his formal obligations to the Christian population of Turkey. Lord Derby vigorously defended the course pursued by our Foreign Minister, and declined to recommend Turkey to mutilate her empire by the surrender of Crete to the kingdom of 'Greece. European statesmanship is now busy with the whole subject. The downfall of the Ottoman empire is inevitable. -.:■<•.- ■-:
