Food Riots IN Sweden.

The dearness of food has occasioned some riotous
demonstrations in Sweden. At Kariskrona on the
Goth ult,, the workmen in the naval backwards as
sembed in body, and invaded the residence of the
Civil Governor of the province; some of them even
entered his private apartments and insisted on speak
ing 10 him. The Governor appeared, and after hear
ing their complaint, ordered them to return to their
work, threatening if they did not to request the a-
miral commanding the town TO take energetic mea-
sures against them. They, however, demanded that
steps should be taken to prevent dstllers from buy
ing up all the potatoes brought to market The
Governor promised that he would do all in his power
to put down that abuse and the men retired Some
of the more violent of the mob proposed to destroy
all the dstileres in the town, and especially that OF
Hasloc, which is the most important of all hut they
were dissuaded from the project by their fellow.
workmen. At Upsa, on the same day, a large
crowd collected before the house of NJ Groenbeck,
corn dealer and, with loud shouts, broke the win
dows with stones. Shortly afterwards u fire broke
out in some extensive premises belonging to NJ
Groenbeck, in different part of the town, and be.
fore it could be extingushed the buildings together
with all Immense quantity of corn they contained
were completely destroyed. 1t is not DOUBTED that
the fire was occasioned by the mob. Other excuses
would no doubt have been committed had not the
students of the University represented to the people
the folly and wickedness of their conduct and in
duced them to dispense.

0s- The depression in the financial matters of Eng
land and France continues to grow still greater, and
the danger of panic becomes daily more imminent.
Tho war pressure is no doubt the main of this.
The abstraction of the means of the Western pow
ers from the channels of trade and peaceful indus
try, must have told under any combination of circum-
stances, but we think that the crisis might easily
have been deferred all of another year had the food
crop in Europe been full one. The effect of full
crops is, think, underestimate in making up cal
culations and commercial programmes. Just as sure
as there is short crop of provisions, just sure
will business be more or less depressed. 1t is never
otherwise at least We have never seen it 80. The
stringency may only assume a modified type, but
some type or ohsr of it will certainly be exhibited

raj connection. Spirits Turpentine show some ad
vance, but the truth is that Naval Stores have been
lower for length Of time than they ought to be
by which we mean that they have not paid for the
cost of making and bringing them to market and
fair interest on the investment. They have there
fore been lower than they ought to be- or than they
could continue to be- But no very great advance

on June 18th, gives interesting account of a voy
age from Honolulu to the BONN Islands, and thence
TO Simoda. At the BONN Islands the inhabitants
were found in q most destitute condition owing to
the ravages caused by an earthquake shock, which
visited them on the Odd of last December, sweeping
away their houses, crops and cattle. Many of the
people also lost their lives and the remainder had 10

In entering the port of Simoda the sailing directions
of Lieutenant Maury, of the United States Japan
Squadron, were found very useful but the japanese
plot, with Commodore Perrys certificate, did not

vessel at anchor, and having heard that two Ameri
ladies on board, expressed the greatest de-
