Bread Riots In England.

A despatch which we print in to-day's
HERALD shows that in some parts Of Great
Britain very considerable distress prevails. At
Exeter serious riots had taken place. Bakers'
and butchers stores were Quilted and the
premises Of some corn dealers were destroyed
by fire. The militia had been called out, and
troops had been sent on from Plymouth. II ID
manifest that matters are not altogether right
in the Old World Hungry people will fight
for bread. Good and regular wages are better
than reform bills; but wages depend on trade.
and trade is not encouraged by the continued
terror Of a European war. II this war panic
do not soon subside Napoleon will bring dowa
upon his head the excavations Of Europe.

A second time Garbaldi has Attempted to
give Rome to Italy A second time h. has
failed. 1t is hard to kick against the pgicis.
defeated cause, however, may be noble
and it is safo to say that whatever
men may think Of Garibaldi himself,
nine-tenths of the intelligence and COM
mon sense Of mankind have decided in
favor of the cause which, worthily or
unworthly, he represents. The cause of united
resulted, not from the weakness of the cause
itself, but from insufficient. strength. 1t is the
old, old story-might has prevailed against
right.
1t is difficult to foresee what new phase the
question is about to present If It Prove true
that Napoleon, as our dispatches inform rs,
has delivered his ultmatum to the Italian
government, requiring the soldiers of the
King 10 evacnate the Papal territory before
Thursday at noon, the Italian government will
find itself in most awkward circumstances. 1t
will be moss bitter pill for Victor Emanuel
to swallow. Swallow it, however, he must or
fight These are The alternatives on which the
immediate future o. this question depends. To
yield to Napoleon would disgust the Italian
people; it might even ruin the dynasty. Not
to yield will bring down upon Italy
the weight and strength Of France;
and whatever be the ultimate result, or who
ever may take part in the struggle the
immediate consequences will be disastrous to
the kingdom. Alone, she is not match for
France; and even if, with foreign help, she
were successful in the long run in expelIing
the invader, it could not be until her towns
and cities were demolished, her plains delugcd
with blood, her population wasted and the
progress Of the country thrown backward for
some generations. There are other questions
lying behind these alternatives, but we care
not at present TO enter upon them. II is quite
possible that Napoleon may be holding some
proposal in reserve, compliance with which
would render The position OF Italy less difficult.
To the September Convention, which has been
a curse from the first, all this misery is to be
traced We are willing to believe that Its days
are numbered, and it will be best for all par
ties il no such unnoly compact is again entered

The Case Of JcG Davis.

We are assured from Washington that the
case of Davis is to be once more deferred, and
will not be called Till May next; that the No
vember term of the court before which he gave
bail will be permitted TO 60 by, in order that
he may come before Chief Justice Cha.e next
year, and in order that another indictment may
be framed-and so on. Fifty reasons could he
given, no doubt, each more ridiculous than the
other, and all tending to confirm the proven
bal notion of the laws delay.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will end all
this pitiful trang by declaring the national
will on the case of this distinguished offender,
and recognizing that it is not a case for the
courts. Nothing is clearer than that disputes
between separate nationalities, as we'll as ell
questions arising out of the collision Of armed
powers, must be determined in accordance
with those rules Of natural right that we call
the law Of nations. And since events them
selves pushed us from the position of regard
ing the late war as an Instruction; since the
Confederate States were belligerents. recog-
nizcd by foreign powers and by ourselves;
since they had SO distinctly separate national
conquered couniry-therefore questions aris-
ing out Of the collision of such a power with
our own must necessarily be considered as in
the sphere of the law that regulates the rcla-
ton OF sovereign and Independent States. To
treat the case Of the head OF q government
with which we waged four years war as case
to be settled in our domestic courts is to
stultify ourselves beyond all ex ,mplc.
The only pfeiext on which the court would
pretend TO try the case of Davis In TO find and
fix the laws OF treason but the dimensions of
his acts went SO tar beyond that that We
broadly recognized they were of another
character by armies and ambassadors As for
tue fact of his attempt. to subvert our govern
ment, we do not need the finding of any
twelve nobodes in Richmond to tell us of that.
General Grant and his army were the jurors
who found the facts of the case, and IL Is only
lett for Congress-the treaty-making power
the power having cognizance of war and all
tho relations arising under ito determine
what shall DO done with our enemy, now that
he is In our hands.
For Congress TO do this would BIO in accord
ance with the precedcnts Of history--in accord
ance with natural law and common sense
Let Congress, therefore, declare the will Of the
nation, which, doubtless, would be that the
culprit should be sent out of the country; to
stay out for some fixed period-as fivo, ten, or,
for that matter, fifty years. Such decision
would be satisfactory 10 the country; and
Congressman would be better employed In
making IL than in turning somcrsaul,s over the
constitution, so that like Thad Stevens, they
cannot tell from day to day whether they are
inside or outside that remarkable instrument
