They called upon Mr. Fry, a respectable baker, and demanded that he should lower thP bread. He endeavoured but in vain, to reason With them, and they broke his windows, damaged his premises, and destroyed. his carts and waggons. A troop of Yeomanry Cavalry were called in, the riot act was read, and the people at length returned to their homes. At Nottingham a similar disturbance took place yesterday week, also headed chiefly by women and boys. They went to a number of bakers shops, had bread given them ; in other cases they t oo k it, and and broke the windows.

One is a Id. loaf, the other a roll. The loaf, which is in good preservation, is about two inches square, and even when unshrfrelled by time could not have made more than two decent mouthfuls.
