Mohammed Youssuf,a man who some short time back played a considerable political part, and who, it may be remembered; assassinated the Prince of Herat, has in his turn fallen by the hands of the sons of the murdered man. A letter from Teheran, in the Presse d'Orient, gives the following account of the affair :—'Our readers may remember that Mahommed Youssuf, after assassinating Seid All Khan, the Prince of Herat, took possession of that place in concert with Ica Khoo, and maintained a siege against the Persian army. Being closely pressed by the besiegers, and justly alarmed at the fate which would await him if he fell into the hands of the Persians, Mohammed fled from Herat. Ile was, however, seized and carried to Teheran, where, notwithstanding his crimes, he was pardoned by Nass-redden-Shah. The children of Seid All Khan had not, however, renounced the idea of avenging the death of their father; they arrived at Teheran and demanded justice on the murderer. The Shah, not wishing that the pardon he had granted to Mohammed ahould be a vain word, endeavoured to calm the resentment of the sons of Said All Khan, but all his efforts were in vain; the murderer was handed over to justice, tried, and found guilty, and delivered up to the sons. The government being still desirous of saving the life of Mahommed, offered • very considerable sum by way of ransom, but the offer was refused, and on the Bth the sons of Seid Ali Khan themselves put the murderer of their father to death. This event has produced a great senaation. The Persian character rarely present ezamplea of such violent animosity and thirst for vengeance. The guilty person is claimed, amid the terror of punishment is allowed to hang over him for a time, but blood is rarely shed. The vengeance of families is generally confined to taking the murderer to the spot where tha murdered man has been buried where he is ordered to demand pardon from the dead and to pray for him. This philosophical vengeance did not, however, satisfy the sons of Seid Ali Khan.'  Lochlomond Regatta has been fixed to take place on the Bth of August. The races will be confined mostly tujolly- boats. A
