PREVALENCE OF FAMINE IN EUROPE,
The extent to which, famine prevails
in various parts of Europe and ON the
southern shore of the Mediterranean Is
somewhat remarkable.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent of
the London MofJtislg Herald, states that
the distress amongst the-po0rer classes
IN Russia owing 70 the bad harvest, is
IN many parts OF The country very se-
we're. At the opening of the Provincial
Assembly OF Novgorod, the governor
recommended a Liberal vote 81 money
to supply the peasants with the means
of subsistence. The Governor of Olo-
metz opened the Provincial Assembly
OF that government with similar adj
dress, =
With the accounts OF suffering in
Sweden We are already familiar. In

~ have volunteered to obtain contribu.

prove Inadequate. l-Ii -
Not only in France but along the
northern coast OF Africa the laclc Of
food tsgeneral. According TO a recent
letter from Paris, tie number of deaths
In Algeria within the last six months
from starvation, exceeds 100; 600. This.
the correspondent asserts, is no axaR-
