At the meeting of the Chartist Convention yesterday, the proceedings
in the goese of Commons on Thursday night, and the intentions of Government, were canvassed. The Convention was unanimous in its determination to disregard the proclamation of the Police, and persevere in the meeting and procession. The speakers were restrained in phrases, but their tone was, without exception, cool and determined. Each person seemed prepared to meet and contemn danger even to his life- The most emphatic declarations were made by all, that the proposed meeting was intended to be perfectly peaceable—no sort of weapon would be tole-
rated. More troops are ordered to Dublin—already full to inconvenience. The Sixty-
second Foot, the Seventy-first Highlanders from Scotland, and the Thirty-first from Manchester, are ordered over the Channel, and the Forty-eighth is on the m ove from Belfast.
