The ocean steamers are again at war. The
National and the Cunard lines have failed to
agree upon basis ofrates, and the result is
renewed competition. The Cuuarders have
again placed their fares for steerage as low as
fifteen dollars Out of these quarrels has come
the profit Of the passengers for Europe, fifteen
thousand of whom are computed to have avail
ed themselves this summer of the opportunity
to cross the ocean at an almost nominal sum.

London, "a. The relations between Tur-
key and Persia are not friendly. 1t appears
that the Persian Government has refused to
compel the return to the Turkish territory of
a tribe, numbering 1000 families, which have
been subject to the Porte, but escaped across
the Persian frontier, and that a number of
Turks have been seized and maltreated by a
band of Persian pilgrims.
The Turkish Government threatens to force
Persia to give up the persons who have abus-
ed its subjects, and to surrender the insur-
rectonary tribe.
Unless accommodation is speedily effected,
the relations of the two country will become
critical.
