of the regular organization of the Chartist
forces in Scotland. A public meeting has
been held at Aberdeen, for the purpose Of
electing delegate to the National Conven-
tion," and measures were adopted for the en-
rolment of volunteers. After the public
meeting, about 1000 persons adjourned to the
Union hall. Five hundred members were en-
rolled as National Guard; :" and after some
the supply of arms, had been read, it was re-
solved that gun and a bayonet should be or
dered for each member forthwith. The spe-
cial constables were in readiness on Tuesday
to act, but no apprehensions were entertained
that the peace of the town would be disturb
ed, x good deal of uneasiness prevails in
Warwickshire, where, in some of the coal dis
tricts near Coventry, the collers were expect
ed to turn out, but the troops in that quarter
were all ready to act in the event of any
emergency. We believe the military precau-
tons taken throughout the country, especial
ly in Ireland, afford no hope to the disatfected
that their wild objects can be obtained by
physical force Wilnae,' & Smith.
IRELAND.--The Limerick Examiner says

A letter from resident in Cork, says:
Sour political aspect is not one to assure
strangers that We are getting more sense; but
the truth is, that there is very little to be APP
pretended from the present absurd proceed
ings of our rifle or pike men. In fact, the ag-
itation now at work has not any really re-
spectacle supporters, and the mad party are
daily finding that there is nothing to be eff
fected by their measures but their own ruin.
NV own opinion is, that crisis has arrived in
our political affairs. and the result will turn
ont favorably for the general good. The
friends of peaceable struggle for the nation

most respectable, and the most courageous /;

can be no possible hopes for the objects of our
reckless liberty and equality men. We have,
however, plenty of Conservative Repea'e,S, but
they would be all for alternate sessions OF
Parliament in London and Dublin, which in

Dp5lia, April l9.-Matters are beginning to
assn me, temporarily at least, a more tranquil
appearance, and confidence in the intentions
of Government to suppress at any cost the
spirit of instruction now abroad is producing
salutary effect upon the public mind. Much,
| however, vet remains to be done before the
shock which credit and commerce have sus-
tanned here by the revolutionary movement in
progress can be overcome. Trade of all kinds
is literally paralysed. Bankruptcy and insol-

from the pursuit of their legitimate business
some form we'll grounded feeling of alarm
and distrust of the future others form con-
viction that Government would be compelled
to yield to the insane demands of the treason
mongers, ard that az Irish Legislature would

a state OF great confusion in consequence Of
an attempt made by VI. Ledru Rolin and the
