It would be difficult to find in the

incident than is contained in the fol-

q British seaman to his wife. 1t was

treaty. existing between them ant
the government Of Nadir-Eddine Shal
they plumber the caravans, sack tn,
frontier villages, and threaten to at

1t was high time to punish these brig

about $4,000 horsemen in the environ.
Of Nero, Prince Nara Mira, Gov,
crnor General OF Khorassan. 1t wa.
high time to punish these brigands, a.
they had already collected, aud victory
would place all the deserts where the
Turcomans' camp were in the powc,
of the Shah. With that design Prince
Mira suddenly appeared before the
walls of Nero, with a division ot
10000 infantry, 1000 irregular cavalry
and some pieces Of Cannon. This
wassin: the middle of, the. month oi
Seter; which according to the Koran,
should DO kept holy and devoted to
devout exercise and pitgrimages.
Notwithstanding that, on the dawn 81
the following day, ! desperate conflic,
began and lasted for nine hours with.
out intermission. In spite Of the, bril-.
liant charges Of the infantry, led by
General Morteza.Kouli Khan, the
struggle might have lasted longer, tbu,
for successful manouvre of the Per.

in person. The enemy at last fled,
leaving about three thousand Of their
number on the plains Of Nero. Near.
" the same number of prisoners, in.
cluding many Turcoman chiefs, a great
number Of horses and camels, with
immense quantity of arms fell into
the hands Of the victors. The Persian
loss was also very considerable. The
brave general Ali Kouli Khan, who
at the beginning Of the battle, com.
manded the artillery was severely
wounded. He was still living at the
denartnre Of the, COURIER. but no hopes
were entertained OF saving him.

amount Of grain which may be handled
in them, may be gatherd from the
fact that they are to be furnished With
near thirty Of Fairbanks 400 bushei and
500 bushel Hopper Scales, which, are
by universal consent the best in use,
and that each Of these scales, 10 per-,
