chartered for Nassau, N. Il. The whole CON-

known concerning their destination previous
to their departure except by the agents of
the steamer and the Custom House officers.

pass, and for that matter the gentlemen.
Men with masks, or without them en- ter the

Turkey is threatened with even greater
'ro"hi"s on the other side. Tho Shah of
Persia. il is reported, is marching at the
mead OF his army upon Bagdad. and the Sui.
tan ia pushing forward troops TO meet him.
In Ills ENHANCEMENT sfthe Eastern question
there is Involved no consideration Of liberty

lures which have excited so much sympa-
thy with the Greek insurgents. It is aim
ply the elimination of the long quarrel be-
tween the two great Mohammedan powers;
but though nnconnected with the struggle
between Moslem and Christian, it is moro
than probable that Russia is interested in
the matter quite as much as in the damon
strations on the part Of Greece. By secretly
aiding Persia in this hold advance into the
Snltar's dOminions, Russia will favor her
own purposes against the Porte, weakening
her enemy and preparing for the grand
streke which will settle forever the question
