LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE WAR IN PERSIA.

THE SUICIDE OF GENERAL STALKER
AND COMMODORE ETIIERIDGE.

We have this day received the following despatch
from our agent at Alexandria :
"The verdict, on General Stalker's body was that
the late Me.:lor-Oeneml came by his death from a
pistol Ara inflicted by his own hand, in a fit of
teml;orary insanity.
" There was no paper left to indicate th`.4% and he
was merely heard to complain that tk4 3rd Cavalry
was not given him; and also was uneasy about the
responsibility of sheltering tke European troops
during the approaching hot weather.
" The verdict on CAnsmodore Etheridge was, that
he destroyed himself with his own hand, while suf-
fering under mental aberration, brought about by
long continued anxiety connected with the duties of
his command."

The agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany at Alexandria sends the following :
" Before the news of the conclusion of peace
with Persia could reach us an expedition to Mo-
hammorah sailed from Beath* on the 19th March,
under the personal command of Sir James Outrans.
" The force arrived in the mouth of the Eu-
phrates on the 21st. On the 24th it moved towards
the feet, and opened a brisk fire at daybreak of the
26th. The Persians replied with spirit, but in the
end the superiority of our squadron was manifest,
and our troops having landed advanced upon the en-
tre:bawd camp of the enemy, who fled immediately,
leaving behind them their tents, stores, &c.
"The loss of the enemy has been estimated at 200
killed.

" A mutiny of the flepoys of the 19th Bengal Na-
tive Infantry has ended in the disbanding of the
corps•
" The Governors of the Presidencies are at the
seats of their administration.

" A further improvement hu taken place in our
money market, and we have to report a further rise
in 4 per cent. paper.
"The business transacted in the import market
during the fortnight has been to a fair extent.
"Freights hare fallen in value, and exhibit a
downward tendency."

The annual jets commemorative of the deliverance
of Orleans by Joan of Arc, has just been celebrated
at the former place according to the usual ceremonial.
After a panegyric on the heroine had been delivered
by Mgr. Gillis, Roman catholic bishop of Edin-
burgh, the cork," composed of the civil and mili-
tary authorities and the clergy of all the different
parishes, went in procession from the cathedral to
the Place des Toadies, and back. On their return

ing, at the moment of the ceremony of delivering
the standard of Joan of Arc to the bishop by the
mayor, the front and towers of Ste. Croix were bril-
liantly illuminated.

THE POPE'S

The Giornale di Poona at the Bth states that the
Pope arrived at Civita Casteliana on the 4th, and on
the following morning went to the cathedral on
foot to may mass before his departure. During the ce-
remony he distributed the Eucharist to allthe munici-
pal authorities, and to many of the other inhabitants.
At Magliano, Otricoli, and :Susi, he also visited
the cathedrals and gave his benediction to the people.
At Terni he visited the large foundry of that place,
where several medals with the effigies of the
Saviour, the Virgin, and the Apostles Peter
and Paul were cut in his presence. When
about to leave that place, some young men
'of tie best families offered to take the horses
at his carriage, and to draw it, but this he
mould not allow. The streets through which he
Posed were everywhere strewn with flowers. At
Spoleto, triumphal arches had been erected, and be-
fore the cathedral stood a large wooden column sur-
mounted by a statue of the Immaculate Virgin.
The town was illuminated when he arrived. On
alighting, be proceeded on foot to the cathedral,
and thence to the episcopal palace, where he ad-
mitted all the authorities to the honour of kissing
his slipper. On the following morning the Pope
said • was in the cathedral, and then et out for
wh4re he was received with similar honours.
