Revolutionary Items by the Acadia.
In England and Ireland the greatest excitement ex-
lists. Lord John Russell repeated in the House of
Commons, Monday last, his previous declaration,
that the whole weight of the government should be
applied to the maintenance of order and to put down
disaifcction and rebellion. At the same time his
Lordshp expressed the sincere desire Of both his col
leagues, and Lord Clarendon especially, to listen 10
complaints and to apply remedy, or an alienation
to any dstresses evils which exst.-The accounts
from Ireland are mcnacing than ever. The stu
dents in Trinity College arming i'll defence the
government, and the members OF the Royal Dublin
Society following their example Additional
troops have arrived from England. The Repealers
equally energetic, and are being warmly support
ed throughout the provinces. At meeting held in
Kilkenny four delegates had been appointed to the
Council of Three Hundred, admittedly in defiance OF
the law. The mayor and three magistrates are the
delegates chosen. twas recommended at this meet'
ing that the Council should assemble at Liverpool in
order to keep within the limits prescribed by the
Convention act. 1t was expected that Dublin would
be placed under the operation OF the recent Arms act
and that the vast quantities of pixies and arms which
are being extensively purchased will be required
to be given up.
The provinces, especially in the south of Ireland
appear to emulate Dublin in the violence ofthe threats
and ntimdations used by the Repeal party and the
press; and indeed, it is openly declared by many of
the journals that repeal Of the Union will no longer
suffice satisfy their alleged grievances, but that the
erection of Republic can now alone remedy the
evils under which the country groans twill be seen
by the judicious reply of NJ Lamartne to the depu-
taton Of the Irish Confederation that the French Re-
public not disposed at present to run the risk of
rupture with Great Britain The great demonstration
ofthe Chartists, which to come Oft in London on
the 10th inst, has been forbidden by the English
Government. All the arrangements for the process
sion were going on satisfactorily the carriage for
veying the petition and the banners, insignia, &c,
decided on, when Sir V. Grey announced TO Parlia-
ment, the 9th inst, the determination OF Govern
ment not to allow either the assembage oppression
TO take place.
A proclamation appeared few hours after, forbid
ding all persons TO attend the meeting The course
pursued by the government has not only increased the
former general excitement but called forth the re-
monstrances of that section Of the press hostile
to Chartsm. The effect produced on the Chartists
themselves has been as might have been anticipated
"a determination to carry out their object with more
ardor than before. At the first meeting OF the con-
yention held after the issuing Of the proclamation,
unanimous resolution was come TO that the meeting
and procession should take place despite the threats
of the government every delegate present firmly and
coolly declared his determination to risk his life in
the contemplated demonstration, and general belief
was expressed that their constituents would emulate
the example thus set them, by holding simultaneous
meetings in their several localities the same day;
resolutions calling those meetings, and for the is
suing Of counter proclamation, were at once agreed
to. The members in the procession not to carry
arms.
Mr.. O'Connor made a suggestion to the meeting,
which possesses significance at the present time
it was that they should recommend to their constit
uens the withdrawal Of all moneys from the savings
banks, in order much possible to derange the
financial operations government As the gross sum
invested in these institutions amounts to
and belongs almost entirely to the middle and lower
classes of whom aarge proportion are Chartst, there
is little doubt, to use Mr.. O'Connor's own words,
that If the people would withdraw their savings from
these banks, they would more cffectualy attack the
government than If they made direct attack on the
