THE DREADFUL FAMINE IN PERSIA.
The English Consul at Tabriz announces he has received, and will forward to his Government, most heart-rending details of the famine in Persia. Special despatches from Constantinople say that the famine in Persia is causing dreadful havoc. The deaths in the province of Khorassan average 300 daily, and so great is the distress that the dead bodies are devoured by the survivors, and men, women, and children, in some cases, are killed to render the supply of food more abundant. The plague has also attacked the Persians, and the Turkish Government is compelled to draw a sanitary cordon along the border.
