The Latest News.

LIVERPOOL, Saturday, May 70, 10 o'clock.
The news from Ireland this morning is most i'm
portant. Not satisfied with the Imprisonment of
Mr.. Mitchell, the authorities of Dublin Castle have
directed the commissioners of the metropolitan po-
lice to issue precautionary proclamation warning
the people against any further professions. 1t is
said that the confederate clubs-for these are the
parties at whom the proclamation is lssued-have
determined to defy the government, and continue
their professions as they have done during the
present week letter from Dublin, informs
us that the government had made arrange
ments TO stop the PROFESSIONS and that the
confederate clubs were expected to walk thu {
evening, collision between them and the military
was greatly apprehended. These clubs number
ten thousand able young men, each of whom is
said to be well armed, and properly drilled to the
use of arms. An attack upon such body al
though successful, would undoubtedly give rise to
a most sanguinary and bloody conflict.
Since writing the above, the weekly organs of
the repealers and confederates have been p aced in
our hands. Mitchell again addresses the "Protes-
tant farmers, laborcrs, and artisans Of the North of
Ireland" His letter is dated, "Newgate Prison."
and as bold and daring in its tone as any of the
preceding ones, and concludes this remarkable
epistle-written in such place, and under such
crcumstances-w with the following sentences:-

measured tramp of ten thousand marching mcn-my

hearts like Bonded bow, waiting till the time comes
They have marched past my prison windows to let me

"JOHN MITCHELL
There is to be meeting of the confederate clubs
in Dublin, on Monday next, in reference to Mr..
Mitches trial, and meeting of the citizens to
condemn the practice of jury packing in political
trials, which, It is rumored, the government mean
to revive in his instance.
Our commercial letters from the city of Dublin,
dated last night, state, with reference to the corn
market of yesterday, that the demand for Indian
corn having increased prices rose from Is to IS per
quarter-the rates paid being 30s to BIS tor white,
and 33s to 36s for yellow. In barrel -four no change
was noted and all other articles of the trade ruled
dull.
From the Continent, we have this morning re-
ceived important and interesting news. Paris con-
tinues tranquil, and our letters advise us of the
rest of conspirators. The committee for consi
dering the constitution are disposed to accede to
proposals of harsh nature against the ex-Klng.
Amongst the committee on the subject are Dufaivrc,
and the ex-Kings friend, Odillon Barrot, and pro-
poser of the regency of the Duchess of Orleans.
AT Madrid, nothing of importance had taken
place.
From Lombardy, we are informed that the pro-
visonal government had proposed to annex that
State to Piedmont, as the only means of expelling
Austria from Italy-to be decided by universal suf-
frage.
Vienna accounts, dated May II, state that the
bank had improved, in consequence of imports of
specie, in silver, from London. More confidence
prevailed, the election having taken conservative
turn and the prospect of France taking part in the
affairs of Italy being less unlikely.
From Berlin, we hear that the unfavorable opin-
ion entertained of the Prince of Prussia had been
greatly modified.
