LONDON. March 20, le4o.
The agitated state of England. the bold move
ments of the Repealers of Ireland, and the alarm
ing condition of Europe are moving every class OF
society No one knows what the morrow will
bring forth
The iaboring classes Of this country are at pres
ent in sad situation, being generally out OF work
and destitute. They collect in masses, talk over
their grievances attend Cbartist meetings, imbibe
revolutionary sentiments, and are led on from one
step to another TO commit breaches OF the peace,
as in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and other
places If no employment should be found for
them within a short period, farther and more ser
Gus troubles will undoubtedly take place.
10 England and in Ireland two Monster Meet
ings" will soon be held. which may well cause
anxiety to the Government. The formidable pre-
cautions taken by Government to prevent any dis
turbance ut the recent meeting on Remington
Common, 10 London, and on St. Patricks Day, in
Ireland, when Dublin was crowded with troops,
show that there is good cause for alarm. But, as
yet London and Dublin quiet.
The.great meeting in Trafalg ar.square was sue
ceeded by grand demonstration on Kensington
Common on the 18th inst. The Government, fear
ing that some serious breach of the peace would
take place. took extraordinary precautions to pre-
vent any outrage or riots. The Military were all
ordered to be under arms, strong guards were sta.
toned in the Bank of England and Buckingham
Palace, where they remained all night. All the
gunsmths were notified to unscrew the barrels of
the fire arms in their possession, so that In the
event of a seizure being made by the rabble, the
weapons would be perfectly useless. notice was
also sent to every shop where powder and shot
were kept that none should be sold throughout the
day or evening. All the broken granite which had
been Just deposited to repair the Kenslngton-road
was removed Several thousand policemen, in
Guiding a large force of mounted police, armed
with loaded pistols and swords, were stationed IN
different places in the immediate vicinity OF Ken
sington Common. Such werethe formidable prepa-
ra,ions made by the Government to prevent any
disturbance on the 18TH but the great political
meeting was conducted with the utmost propriety
and was dissolved without any signs of riotous
conduct. From fifteen to twenty thousand per
sons assembled on this occasion. Tue orators
were mounted on q wagon, which had been pre-
pared as temporary hastings Mr.. Reynolds

of peaceful proceedings that no complaints should
be made He said that the press had designated
