TEE WAR IN PERSIA.

We have been favoured with the following copies
of telegraphic messages received by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's agent at Alexandria :

" Before the news of the conclusion of peace
with Persia could reach us an expedition to Moham-
morah sailed from Bushire on the 19th March,
under the personal command of Sir James Outran].
" The force arrived in the mouth of the Eu-
phrates on the 21st. On the 24th it moved towards
the fort, 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
entrenched camp of the enemy, who fled imme-
diately, leaving behind them their tents, stores, &c.
" The loss of the enemy has been estimated at
200 killed.

".As a truly tragic episode of this war, we have
to mention the death, each by his own hand, of
General Forster Stalker, Commander of the Forces,
and Commodore Etheridge of the navy.
" The verdict on General Stalker's body was,
that he came by his death from a pistol shot
inflicted by his own hand in a fit of temporary
insanity.

"There was no paper left to indicate this, and he
was merely heard to complain that the 3d Cavalry
was not given him, and was also uneasy about the
responsibility of sheltering the European troops
during the approaching weather.

" The verdict on Commodore 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.

" A mutiny of the Sepoys of the 19th Bengal
Native Infantry has ended in the disbanding of the

corps.
"The Governors of the Presidencies are at the
seats of their administration.
"A further improvement has taken plac3 in our
money market, and we have to report a further rise
in 4 per cent. paper.
" The business transacted in the impoit market
during the fortnight has been to a fair extent.
"Freights have fallen in value, and exhibit a
downward tendency.
