A London letter, oflhe 7th instant, says:
"London is at this moment in very agItatcd
state. Everybody is talking about the move

"Il is varouslv estimated that $4,000 to 5O0,.
600 persons will be present at that meeting.

Looking at the revolutionary State ofall
Europe, there is certainly great cause TOR alarm
in London; not only in London, but Dublin, and
in fact, in The whole kingdom.
"Cabinet Councils are held daily, and am
assured that ministers scarcely know how TO
act. Al one council there was great difference
of OpiuiOn as 10 whether the Queen and her
family should remain in London, or leave before
Monday next.
at was finally decided that it would not be

The Queen left Buckingham Polacc todayJor

she was only recently confined, besides which

"It may he concluded that nothing else is
now the topic of conversation in The streets and
in the houses, but The CharIi,ls demonstration
in London, and The repeal demonstration in
Dublin. Every boarding in this metropolis is
covered with large pIacards, addressed to the

Cotton is l.sd. lower this week. 1t hardly
