IMMINENCE OF THE REVOLUTION IN
GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. |
Lo>do.n, April 1, 1843.
This great and astounding Revolution of the j
nineteenth Century, which fell upon Europe like
a flash of lightning, progress with such rapidity
that it is still quite impossible to follow it. The J
mind is pushed onward day after day, and daz- '
zled by so many new events that it cannot look
bark to examine and speculate upon the past.
These events are now too near to be fully coin- I
prehended -or appreciated by the upper classes j
ot England, who tuny oeueve, or, ai u-um, *-m.
nestly hope, lhat a Bourbon will, before many
months elapse, rule France? It was the sudden
overthow of the king, the throne and the dynasty
lhat bewildered the mind, and it has not yet re.
covered from that shock.or the succeeding ones
that so soon followed. But while the people of i
Europe, from Austria and Prussia to Poland and j
Italy, arc obtaining their just rights by standing j
togother and marching through human blood, j
it is astonishing that the Prime Minister of Eng.
land and his advisers are so foolishly blind as
not to discern the revolutionary hurricane that
will most assurdly sweep over Great Britain!
Yes, in the [louse ot Parliament every proposed
measure of reform for the people is met by a
"pooh! pooh!" "a laugh," or "great laughter!"
It is the same with every proposition that comes
from Ireland. It is received here with contempt
or general laughter! If the members of Parliament
who thus laugh at Irish schetnesor Char,
tist movements could but hear one half that is
" daily uttered by poor but determined men. who
represent not tens but hundreds of thousands, I
fncy would not treat so indifferently or contemptuously
their recent movement or petitions.
These wealthy and aristocratic members, as
well as tho whole country, may soon hear the
significant words which told with such brilliant
effect in France only one month since, "It is
*? j v..? hnmir?d? of thousands do not
iuu iuiv; x \ iiunw. v..w -now
conceal their plans of Reform, which are
called seditious or treasonable by the aristocraay
\yho fastened the chains that bind the millions.
These plans to overthrow the Government i
for politics are now considered "a mockery and
a farce," are boldly avowed, and with a deter- i
rninaion that alarms thd more moderate classes, i
For months ay, years these plans have been in
einbrio, but now they are published to the world. I
In less than three months, perhaps in one month
opposition of the most powerful kind against the i
Government will manifest itself. It will appear j
first in Ireland, and it will be an opposition de- J
termined and fierce, and end in the loss of many j
* lives. It will spread through England, and no
person can now tell what will he its end.
The Chartists of England can muster in the
metropolis, at a day's notice 300,000 able-bodied ;
and bold men. The Repealers ol Ireland can
find at any hour of the day or night, in the city
of Dubliq, a like number, well armed with muskets
or pikes! It is a well known fact, for it has
been openly avowed, that many policemen and
soldiers have already fraternized with the mass- i
ed?secretly, some: openly others. The standing
arniT of England and Ireland is "the teopi.e."
Every soldier is Irotn and belonging to
the people. But admitting that the soldiers i
ol>ey orders and fire upon the people can ten,
or twenty, or fifty thousand resist these two or
ihie? hundred thousand stalwart, starving deter- ;
mined men, equally well armed, fighting for
their just rights, and who have solemnly sworn :
that they will obtain lhemrlet the consequences j
.. be what they may? At this critical moment j
these ""are sofemn questions, and unless some i
great concessions are speedily granted, conces- |
sio?i will finally he obtained by the. blood af the
people*. This, at present, is the ultimatum, j
t. The aristocratic journalist, shut up in his
magnificent and luxurious study, cannot see this
nor know It, for lie does not go out and condescend
to mingle with the people, and consequently
he ridicules the movement of the masses, as
he did in February, on the very day that the ;
King of France fled from his palace and his I
throne?^ But I have passed hours and days (
among them, spoken my own sentiments to them
and watched their enthusiasm and determination.
f am free to confess, that judging from
close observation, I fear that very soon much
blood will be-shed in England and Ireland; and
this the leaders of the popular movement acknowledge,
and say that they are ready to fall
in the first ranks for they know that balls will '
be showered upon them at the onset. The j
people will however, triumph at last.
At a recent meeting ol the Irish Confederation
in Dublin speeches were made and resolu |
tions passed in which rebeliion was openly re- ,
commended. Mr. Dufle of The Nation proposed i
a resolution to the effect that the Council adop- |
ted the principles contained in thp prosecuted j
speeches ofO'Brien, Meagher and Mitchell, and ,
they were determined to drive the flreeii Ban.

indictment.
Another resolution proposed the speedy or- ,
ganization and arming of a National Guard, !
composed of all sects of religionists. Mr. Roily j
spoke in support of this resolution, and said they
should open the jails for the liberation of the
patriots with pole-axes and crowbars; He then
spoke of baricades, rifles, pikes and powder, and
his speech was hailed with enthusiasm.
Mr. Mitchell of the United Irishman, said that
three weeks ago he called on them to "Register, ,
but he now asked them to "Arm, Arm!" He
was sick of talking and waiting. He conjured J
them, itj God's name, to get guns; and those j
who" could not afibrd to purchase a rifle must
provide himself with a pike. "You must all
hav^arms, and be ready to turn out." The
Government should have no trouble in procuring
evidence against him, (.Mr. Mitchell.) for
he would stand by every thing that be had writ- j
ten, published or spoken. He acknowledged ;
that the prosecuted articles were "seditious li-j
t>els." He intended to commit high treason. ,
"Be prepared to rise. There is no need to
-? ' I- - ? -- ?!..
name uie uay now?nui nn an ?-?uy ><a* wi
night, be prepared to smash through that castle
and fear down the union flag that insults our
city." Loud cheers followed, cries of 4'\Ve .
will !" Mr. Mitchell declared that there should
be no rest for him until he saw Ireland a "free
Republic." Tremendous cheers followed.
It is important to examine the sentiments
of the more liberal English journals, and the .
Daily Netcs stands in the foremost rank, and
for the masses. In an article upon Ireland, it
says that the Irish demand for Ireland "a Par- 1
liament-of her own." 'iRight or wrong, such,
is the conviction of millions; right or wrong. :
inch a conviction is a pregnant lact, which 1
ought not lightly to ho diregarded. it h ea?y
to call the crv for Repeal absurd and abortive.
The cry may he so: hut what is the ouiise?" i
"Imperial misrule and neglect." "Assuredly, j
the Imperial system of Legislation for Ireland
cannot he changed too soon."
The Obwrrrr of the 22th says: "Is it possible i
that Kngland can remain untouched by the influences
that are now abroad/ or that those who
possess the power of the State and administer
the Government of the people can continue to
ding to those nbuses of her institutions, those
oppressions, which have grown up out of years
of peace and plenty to tester and canker the
general welfare of the community?" The Observer
goes on to remark that while the whole
Continent of Europe is in one blaze, the Leg.
islaturc of England is imposing new taxes for
terms of years; adjudicating upon the petty corruptions
of some of its own members; squabbling
over individual interests; doing everything in
short, but the one thing needful. Xero fiddled
while Home was burning."
The great body of Chartists intend to present
a petition to the House of Commons on the 10th
of April, calling for "The Charter." At a re
cent largo meeting of Chartists in Condon, it
was stated that when their petition was presented
lroin two to three hundred thousand Chartists
would walk to the House of Commons.
One speaker said it was all mockery and a farce
to petition at all. as ihey very well know that
the Government would never grant the people
Charier, and therefore just one'hour ought to he
appointed for the House of Commons to consider
their petition. If they said "No," then 100,000,
persons would form a compact body, understand
eaoho tlior by signs, unite in a procession
and upset the Government? (Great sensation
was manifested to this proposition.)
Another speaker stated that the .Military had
already fraternized, as in France, with the Poo.
pie, and that they were not so much to he dreaded
as was generally supposed. ''It was a well
known fact that eighteen of the Grenadier
Guards had this very week signed the Chartists
petition. Ho had addressed tens of thousands of
their fellow-workmen in the provincial towns,
and they had taken the oath, that if a blow were
struck at the monster procession they would
strike back again!
Mr. Feargns O'Connor's notice of a motion
which he intended to bring forward when he
presented the Chartist petition was laughed at
by the House of Commons; but the Chartists
remind each other that a motion of Odillon
Barrot's w"Ss treated in a similar way by Gnizot
and the French Chambers, and they knew
the result.
The Daily News, referring to the present
Government of the lower and laboring classes,
remarks! that it is the same kind of Government
which Mr. Feargns meant of France,
which is ameliorating the condition O'Connor
1 , _i?i ?i ...i.:..u
rccommenus in ivugiunu, --auu ?mtu i-.,
over, hailed and loodedto hy u far larger mass of
Engli-htnen than our public press will admit, or
than the upper classes seem to be aware of."
In the same journal, of March 29, the House of
Lords is attacked in a leading article, and great
reforms are recommended. For in>tance, the
News says that the electoral franclrse should
lie extended, small constituencies he done away
with, the ballot adopted, and, in short, the reform
of the Legislature. .)
The Government will soon find that the voice
of the people cannot be stifled by " poo-poohs"
and "laughter?great laughter " as it has more
than once attempted in the House of Parliament.
The Daily News reminds Ministers
that "the tone in which all proposals for reduction
of military and naval expenditures are poopoohed
in the House of Commons is calculated
to cause great irritation in the provincial seats
ot commerce and manufactures." Again,
"Though these districts may not have much in- ,
fluence on the political coteries of the mctropo
lis, the Reform Rill and Anti-Corn-Law agitations
show their influence in the country."
On Tuesday, the 28th, Mr. U'Counell, in tiie
House of Commons, gave notice that on the
11th of April Mr. O'Connell, M, P. for Limerick,
would move for leave to hring in a bill to
repeal the Legislative Union between England
and Ireland. I'he House laugh! Laughed, while
every Irishman was at that time securing a
pike ten feet long for the purpose of resisting
British soldiers, and while every Irishman was
swearing to use that pike against England!
It is with deep and painful emotions thai we
have to announce, this morning, the death ofa
most amiable and valuable young friend.
James Pavis M. P. late Surgeon to the Palmetto
Regiment in .Mexico, expired in this city
on Saturday evening last, which lie had contracted
whilst in the discharge ol his duties as
Surgeon to his regiment.
In our young irictid was concentrated in an
eminent degree, all of those high qualities of
head and heart, which made him the idol of his
friends. He had scarcely attained his twentyfifth
year, when he was appointed, by the unanimous
voice of the Regiment and the State, to
the high and very responsible office of Chief
Surgeon to the Palmetto Regiment. Fur the
discharge of this duty, responsible as it certainly
was, he had fully qualified himself by previous
study and application both at home and
abroad; and no one, perhaps, of his age, could
have enjoyed in a higher degree the confidence
and respect and love, of the entire Regiment.
The arduous duties of his post together with the
severities of the climate of Mexico, and expo
sures necessarily incident to itiu service, operating
on a constitution and system not strong
soon brought iiitn down; and lie was compelled
to return homo soon afier the tall of Vera Cruz
since which time, he has been gradually sinking.
It will be a consolation to his friends abroad to
know that he died amidst devoted friends and in
the bosom of his family.
As one who knew and appreciated his worth
whilst living, so we equally deplore and lament
his death. To his bereaved mother, and his
other devoted relatives and friends, we oiler the
heartfelt sympathies and condolence ofone, who
knew him from his infancy?watched with interest
and affection his growth to manhood, and
with pride and pleasure hailed his promise of
usefulness and honor.

We would rejoice to t ee Ireland free and happy,
but the great question if, cou'd she be so, independent

that the Q,ueen and Royal family have been removed

in its present state of excitement. Wc pro.
ceod to give such items of intelligence as wc can
crowd into our columns :?
During the last week or two London has
, been in a statu of anxiety on account ol a Char*
' list meeting appointed to be. held at nn open
space called Kennington common, about a mile
and a half from the House. of parliament, on
.Monday next, the lOthli of April, with the view
of accompanying some delegates of their body
in the presentation of a petition to the House of
Commons. The objects of that petition comprise
the si x points of what is now railed "the peoples
cnarier ?namely: l. universal sunrage 2. (
Vote by ballot. 3. No property qualification.
4. Annual Parliament. 5. Payment ol memlicrs.
0. Equal electnri.il districts. And it ,
was announced that lhe procession would consist
ot 300.000 men?an amount of course greatly
exaggerated, although there could he no ques- !
lion thai the actual numhers would he formida!
hie. To meet this the ( ovcrnment have found
i necessary to resort to interference, and a notice j
lias consequently appeared this morning declarI
ing the proposed meeting illegal. The Chartists
have however held a conference this after- (
noon, and they have decided to disregard the
prohibition.
The London Standard of the 7ih ult. has a (
long article on the subject of the Chartist meet- j .
ing. We have room only for the following ex1
tracts, which will show, however, the deep feelJ
ing which exists in England on the subject, nnd ,
j the fears as to what mayfhe the final result. ]
"The speech ofSir (ieorge (Jrey in the House (
of Commons, in reply to Sir John Walsh, with (
the notification of the commissioners of police,
to which it refers, removes all doubt as to the ,
course which the Ministers mean to pursue with (
regard to the threatened meeting of Monday. |

The meeting of Monday may not bo at.- i
! templed, and if we could give its promoters
' credit for ordinary prudence, wo should say !
that it will not be attempted. We do not give (
! them such credit, and, therefore, we hold it not i
i improbable that the attempt will be made; and
j The general aspect of commercial affairs
1 have not improved in any respect since the departure
of the flihcrnin. Indeed, the chances I
; of a general Kuropean war combined with the
j spirit of dissatisfaction which prevails among '

! ever may happen. Danger of serious consequences
to the government there is none, or
danger beyond local tumults and personal injuries.
These latter, however, ought to be
A.
guarded
against, and, danger apart, the attempt
.0 muster a traitor multitude affords an opportunity,
which, if rightly employed, will he of
?reat benefit to others, both within and without
our sovereign's dominions. In Lojidon, if on
Monday challenged to ll .? contest, we shall be
fighting the battle of ordci Ireland and for
many a country besides. * * *
"At present the efiectof even a moment's success

'o cause the streets of many of the great towns
in Ireland to run with blood; whereas, the
prompt and decisive suppression of llie at templed

will injure the peace of the whole Kingdom
for years, to come. It is this that in our opinion
attached so much importance to the crisis,
and that distinguished it from all former
crises.

"As regards Ireland, a suspension of the Hahens
Corpus Act, an universal disarming act,
are the legal measures for which the country
calls. These acts, supported by calling out the
loyal yeomanry, will lie the sufficient for every
purpose." *****
A London letter, of the 7th instant, says:
"London is at this moment in a very agitated
state. Everybody is talking about the movements
of the Chartists." * * *
"It is variously estimated that 50,000 to 500,000
persons will be present at that meeting."

has somewhat calmed the minds of the upper j

them against the tevolutionary movement."
the Irish peasantry, and a large number of the
operative classes of England and Scotland,
have greatly aggravated I lie spirit at mislriM
entertained by the public at large. Under such J
circumstances, it cannot he expected tnai inert*
could be any improvement for the demand for
British goods in Germany or Italy. Consequently,
the market for such commodities have
been decidedly heavier, and prices much lower.
The cotton market although not active, has
been pretty firm during tins past fortnight, and
sa es to a moderate extent have been effected.
Gu the arrival ol the Britannia, the market as.
juuied a more lively feeling; and in the early
[ art of the week ending .March 31, the common
quaiites of American were sold at an advance
al fully 1 -3d. per lb.; but before the close of
he week, the demand was less animated, and
md prices relaxed a little. The total sales amounted
to *21,070 bales, of which 700 American
were taken on speculation, and 3,350 American
and 130 Madras for export. Since

Cotton is I-8d. lower this week. It hardly
can be otherwise, there is a universal desire

af both stocks and prices to which we have sunk
seems to be no reason for holding. Neither

As to the spinners, they are for the most part

This is a chemical extract of Wild Cherry and Tar.- !
Every body knows that Wild Cherry possesses important, j
medical properties; and Tar Water has always been | !
administered in consumption,and Lung affections gen- |
erally, by our oldest and safest physicians. Vurious rein- 1 j
edies, it is true, have been offered und puffed into notice !
for the cure of diseases of the lungs, and some have been ! ^f0i
found 110 doubt very useful, but of all that have vet
. . . . tiv<
been discovered, it is admitted by physicians, and all I jwho
have witnessed its effect, that none lias proved as j
successful as this. For Asthma, Shortness of Breath, ; ami
and similar affections it may he pronounced a positive j ine
cure. It has cured Asthma in many case often und ; Bn
twenty years standing, alter physicians had declared Fai
the ease beyond the reach of mcdicino.
This Balsam is made from materials which Nature '
has placed in all northern latitudes, as an antidote for j#|
diseases caused by cold climates. ^j,

tit1 lifities we have used in our family for many years. For
instance. "The Kxpeetnrant," "The Carminative," ami
" Vermifuge,"' which we know to be good for I lie complaints In,
they profess to cure, Wc were on Lake Ontario, the past
summer, when several of our travelling companions, from rj

limestone water of that region, were violently attacked I
with Diarrlwa and Dysentery. Mr. 11. had provided him- nrS
self, previous to leaving home, with "The Carminative of firs'
Dr. Jayne," and in all eases of its use. among five gentle- i(Cn
men. it was successful in a speedy cure.
The Kxpectorant we have known ttscil nmong our inti* ^
male Irieods with equal success; and we feel that we shall cin'
do a good actio families (especially those situated so they enn
cannot have access to medical skill,) to advise them to keep fror
on hand both the Ktpcelnrnnt and Carminative. The Kx- use
peetornnt is believed by go<Kl physicians, to be the best recei|?e
for I'ttltnoiiary Consumptive complaints, that has ever yca

nded have been known to and used bv the Abines
of the Southern States lonir before the
t settlement of the country. The first settlers"
wired from the Indians in their immediate vicina
knowledge of their very extraordinary mediil
propert es and made use of them, separate or
lpounded with others combined. The recipe
11 which this medicine is compounded has been
d by a respectable family for more than fifty
rs with great success, in treating all diseases of
Skin and impurities of the Blood,
t is composed of four plants indigenous to the "flR
inity of Charleston. S. C. The plants have been

f lie medicine is now prepared in a scientific

medicinal virtues of plants. Most medics
of this class arc administered indiscriminate.vithout
regard to disease, restriction in food,
t or exc-cise and are so mixed up and disguised
t their active principles are rendered entireiy
rt or are destroyed. Not so this cdicine. It
itains the curative virtues of the four plants
:liout disguising their natural taste.
[ would now inform those who desire to use thie
dicine that it would be entirely useless to do
without strictly adhering to the directions,
it is not pretended that this mediciue shall cure
diseaes that humanity is heir to, but a few of

Id like magic to its restorative energies, f
