There appears to be some slight abatement of the distress which has prevailed in Ireland and Scotland, caused by the large importations of grain, principally from America. On the mother hand, the high price of food in England has caused serious riots in various parts of the country — in Devonshire, Cornwall, Somerset, some of the midland counties, and in Jersey.The whole country was busily preparing for the general election, which was expected to take place in July, and some sharp contests were anticipated.

In France, the riots have assumed a political aspect, and the demands for cheap bread are coupltd with " Vive la Republic," or " Vive Henry Cinq." The Austrian Government had forbidden the export of wheat for the five ensuing monihs, and other states have authorized the free importation of grain where duties were previously levied.
