RIOTS AT STUTTGARD.

MAY 10.—Tumults have broken out in our peaceful
city, and the noise of arms and bloodshed fill our streets.
The tumult spread like wildfire from one end of Ger-
many to the other, not quickly vanishing, making a little
smoke, and leaving some ashes behind. But let these
ashes be carefully watched, for they may prove the focus
of future conflagrations. We need scarcely add that we

attacked. As far as I know, there was noe
immediate occasion for the attack on the house
of that man. You have doubtless already
learnt the course of events yesterday by some
other channel. All is now quiet here, and but for the
movements of troops through the city, we should scarcely
perceive that any change had taken place. The Govern-
ment, however, has sent for cavalry, infantry, and artil-
lery from Ludwigsberg, to be prepared against all events.
A renewal of the disturbances is. however, scarcely to
be expected, and it would be fatal to the rioters, because
they are far from finding partisans among the well
ordered population in general.
FRANKFORT, MAY I.—Here, too, there have been
some excesses against bakers, but they were happily not
very serious, and as means are taken to relieve the dis-
tress, there is no reason to feel any considerable alarm.
The principal bakers are said to have subscribed 120,000
florins to supply the indigent with bread at lower prices.
and those who are entirely destitute, on still lower
terms. The head of the house of Rothschild, too, re-
solved a week ago to allow all the indigent in this city
until the harvest, the sum of sixpence on every loaf
which they required, but the District Commissioners
have neglected to prepare the required lists to the poor,
so that this resolution has not yet been carried into
effect. Our much respected second burgomaster has
likewise arranged a further distribution of potatoes at
his expense.
REICUENBACH IN SILESIA, APRIL 27.—Excesses have
been committed in our market in which two potato
dealers were dreadfully ill-treated. The distress in our
parts is very great, adds the Silesian Gazette. In the
night of the 4th of May, the town of Murowasiva Gollin,
three leagues from Posen, was almost wholly destroyed
by fire. The number of buildings consumed is not yet
ascertained, happily no lives were lost.
DRESDEN, MAY I.—Violent torrents of rain, accom-
panied by a storm of thunder and lightning, fell here to .•
day, which caused apprehensions that a water-spout had
broken at some distance. The Elbe rose very consider-
ably on the 3d and 4th. All the meadows on both banks
aro overflowed to a great extent.
GREECE.—We have received letters from Athens of
the 25th of April, which confirm the late notice of the
multiplication of the Ministry. Mr. Koletti is said to
have promised to the English Ambassador, the latest
arrears of interest, 700,000 francs, and the Chambers to
have granted IL Nothing of importance had occnrred
in regard to the depute with the Porte, the Greek mer-
chants and captains of vessels are stated not to have
experienced any hostile treatment from the Turkish
officers.—Algemain Zeitung.

THE CROPS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR—Having just returned from a visit to the north,
I take the liberty of giving you the result of some ob-
servations that I have been enabled to make, on the state
of the growing crops, and am most happy to say, that
judging from their appearance at the present time, the
fears of the country may be allayed with regard to the
produce of the forthcoming harvest. I never saw the
young wheat more healthy in appearance, and the same
will apply to the oats and barley. Late the season cer
tainly is; but if we should, henceforward, have warm
weather, the time of reaping may probable not be plo-
tracted beyond the average season.
It is generally said that a late spring betokens a fruit-
ful year, and I really think that the present appearance
of the growing crops promises a fultihnent.of that saying
I remain, S;r, your obedient Servant,
London, May 12. S. M.

SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 11.—The Oriental Company's
steam-ship Erin, Captain J. S. Russell, arrived in the docks
this morning, and landed her mails. The cargo of the Erin
consists of silks, opium, wool, Indian corn, sponges, yellow
berries, and nuts; in all 350 tons, and 57 passengers. The
Erin, on the 4th instant, saw several vessels, outward• bound,
in ballast, for tne Mediterranean ports, and several wind and
homeward-bound, in Gibraltar. On the 4th instant, at nine
P.M., passed the Montrose Captain Burney, steaming off
Cape St. Vincent, outward-bound, with Peninsular mails.
At Constantinople the shipping was very numerous, most of
it iu ballast, bound up the Black Sea for grain, being de-
tained by contrary winds. Ihe Din for must part of the
voyage experienced head winds and stormy weather. The
Great Western steamer will leave this pore on the 2d proximo,
with the West India and Mexican mails. And the new ship

belonging to the Oriental COWP;;:iamed the Jupiter, will
take out, it is expected, the Peninsular mails on the 17th
instant. She made, an experimental trip yesterday, to the
satisfaction of her owners.
