Guanajuto, which amount the Juarez Government
agreed to repay to the parties
General Degollado is in this CITY for the pur
pose OF consulting with the supreme government
about the further prosecution of the campaign
against the church party.
The duties collected in Mexico on the five millions
OF specie by the conducta, detained by Robes
amounting to about half million of dollars, have
been divided as follows
$4,000 to Miramon; $40, 900 to Bonilla the Sec
retary o. Foreign Affairs, for salaries due from the
Tune OF Santa Anna S35, 900 to Governor Corona,
likewise for payment Ot salaries $50 900 to others
IN authority, and the rest went to fill the pockets of
those who uphold the Government. Corona, Mira
mon Marquee, and all the Nena Sahibs of Mexico,
are hVlng IN splendid style, and in order to show
their authority, have issued a decree banishing
from the city of Mexico all English subjects resident
there.
Mr. Otway, so far, has not interfered in behalf of
the banished subjects, but approves of the measure
taken boasting that they deserve their fate
A NEWSPAPER AT TEHERAN IN PERSIA,
The public have hardly recovered from the shock
OF tue announcement that course of lectures was
to be delivered in Beirut, before a new astopish-
ment Is prepared for the occidental world Persia
has newspaper! That there is Journal de Con-
stdnthopte, paper printed at Cairo a Gazette at
Pekin, occasions surprise; but that the an
! cient kingdom of Cyrus Ahasuerus and Darius
the Parsis of the Greeks, and the Iran of all
Persians, should have a newspaper is nossing
belief. 7
The Ro"z name'- rekaie'- -i-ttitakfe is the official
journal of Persia, published at Teheran, the resi-
dence OF the Shah, and the capital of the country
1t is not large in size, but makes up for it bv the
flaming head-piece, which adorns its first page
This important portion of the paper presents a
hemi-cyce, in which are depicted the arms of Per
sa The style of art is not of the highest order for
the design is something inferior to the engravings
in the old New England Primer.
AS to the contents of this wonderful Journal we
nave sufficient variety. The date is 1878 of the
Hegira 1857 of our era. After the usual number
n LEFT nd
we find the price of this Persian Honiter be fix
ed at ten caohi. This is equivalent to u cents of
our money for each number For the insertion of
advertisements the publisher announces that he
must have II cents per line in cash. The body of
the journal is divided into three parts each having
ITS special designation The first is entitled ''news
oil the capital; and of the politics of the Empire in
general" "Poitics" are treated of first and after
wards the Editor gives the passing events of Tehe-
ran. He writes of the fine weather of the heat and
OF the cold, (the Editor is his own F. NJ J, and of
the various incidents in connection with the theatre
the national games, and the public meetings. The
I'd section is particularly devoted to ''the we'll
guarded Provinces Of the Empire" and it is under
TINS head that we learn the price of provisions As
II Is our desire at any expense to keep readers
posted up in mercantile transactions, we append a
list Of the prices which were obtained at Teheran in
the latter part of 1857, [less than two years ago

Ferhaps the difference of exchange would make
these prices trife less The Editor SAYS that the
harvest Is magnificent this year" and this accounts
doubtless for the cheapness of comestibles 1t will
be perceived that neither beef nor pork appears in
the prices current In Persia, beef is orly eaten by
the lowest classes, and it is considered sin to kill
a calf. Pork, being prohibited by the Koran, nev-
er enters the houses of the faithful. The mutton of
Persia has been renowned for ages.
In the section just mentioned, also find the re-
cord OF accidents he al
OF Teheran has its sensation side, and we are az
much shocked at the following instance of taking
the law into ones hands, and its consequent ap-
proval, as by any one thing of the most startling
character that has recently taken place in own
land.
ga correspondent thus writes us from Koum: "A
mother ofa family of our city had daughter aged
eighteen, who had often given proofs of misconduct
In lrequenting the houses of Christians Armenans
and other places where true believer should never
dare to enter. AS the reiterated remonstrances of
this unfortunate mother had effect, she (he mo-
ther), upon beautiful night, protitng by the pro
found slumber Of her daughter strangled her child
with her own hands.
"'The next morning, the Governor of the city,
having learned OF this event, sent for the mother
and in the presence of large assembly, composed
OF all the nOtabties of koum lavshed upon her
all sorts of eulogies-praisng that courageous mo-
ther who did not recoil before crime in order that
she might save her daughter "
This incident certainly affords most start
ling example Of the fanaticism which exists in
Persia.
It. is evident however, that the people of Iran hold
the Western nations in profound piety for in the
third division, or section, of the journal Of erens,
we have intelligence of foreign countries under the
head of (how comprehensive y Ez Paritz from
Paris. After few words devoted to railroads. the
Editor speaks of the comet of which the journals of
England and France were full in 1857. We sup
pose that the sage conductor of the Roz name i-re-
kdie-ihi Jdke must have seized the false report of
Lord Roses opinion about the heat of the coming
comet, and then enlarged upon the consequences.
He has served up for his readers the prettiest dish
! OF weak-headed occidentas that could be imagined.
! But to our moutons We translate most literally.
Our journal ofTeheran tells us that ''the arrival
of the predicted comet, and which be the sign
| of the winding up of this world produced pro
found impression in Europe. In Prussia and in Ger
many above all, 1--WE wonder if the Persian editor
has a clear idea Of that underlined Germany, many
rich persons rennunced all their worldly goods,
awaiting the grand catastrophe which to
der their riches useless; to-day they have not a
penny. Others, frightened by the approaching end
OF the world, have given their minds into the hands
of the rummagers of old rags, /. have become in
sane; lastly, others, but the number is not very
great, generous qualhcatlOn uncovered the head,
and were buried alive in obscure of the
churches" From this general account the editor
descends to particulars and thus edies his Persian
readers: "We are informed that in Germany, a
gentleman renowned for his fortune and luxurious
| living, he had learned that on such n
day and on such hour the world would end, was
in the most pressing haste to sell all that he
| possessed. The dividing his money INTO as many
parts the number of days before the appearance
of the comet he resolved to spend daily of these
portions. He had jolly time of it while awaiting
the star of the resurrection, IT, c. the end of the
world. The fatal night at length arrived, and with
it bon UiUd saw the eclipse of his last piece of
gold, but he did not behold the gilded shield of the
comet The morning having demonstrated to him
the falsty of his calculations, he committed suicide
This will suffice to give idea of Persian news
paper. While we admit that it contains consider
able variety of information, confess to surprise
at not finding in its columns some account of the
miraculous events OF Yangedonia (almost Yankee
doodle,) which is the ,nelliduous term by which
are known. He may have learned something in the
meantime. The Arrowsmith hoax has doubtless ere
this astonshed the faithful in Iran and perhaps our
Kansas and Mormon difficulties have long ago exct-
ed the horror and admiration of the Court followers
