Tne CONF EDERATES.—Since the arrest and imprison- ment of Mr. John Mitclrell there have been nightly qusters of the Confederate clubs ; and these formidable and well-drilled budies march at a given hour from their) several club-rooms through the leading streets of the vity, en route to Her Majesty’s gaol of Newgate, where he body of their “ hero lies buned.” Here, by precon- verted arrangements, the clubbists “ halt,” and, forming into extended column, give three hearty cheers for the prisoner, fall into line, and march back in the same military order without the slightest noise or attempt at jisturbance. A procession of the clubs was to have taken place on Friday night, but early in the day the

lice commissioners issued a prohibitory notice, cau- ioning all persons against “assembling and marching iprough the streets, obstructing the thoroughfares, and shouting in aj disorderly; manner.” About 6 o'clock inthe evening a strong corps of infantry was marched into the College square, together with a division of the tity police, who were stationed in the Park. ‘The Coun- ci] of the Confederation having had notice of the inten- ion of the authorities to disperse the procession issyed acircular of the postponement at 5 o’clock. ‘The peo- ple, however, crowded to D’Olier street at night-fall, and formed a dense mass on Carlisle bridge, and the northern end of Westmorland street. At9 o’clock the police marched out in great strength and drew up at both ends of D’Olier street, in which the Confederation rooms and the .Vation office are situated. The temper of the police infantry was much less steady than that of the horse, for a shout from the multitude was sure to be followed by a charge from the police, who made numerous prisoners, about 50 in all, and lodged them n College street office. At Il o’clock the crowds had dispersed, and the police returned to their stations.

TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF MR. MITCHELL.

Atafew minutes after 10 o’clock on Friday morning, Baron Lefroy and Mr. Justice Moore took theit seats on the bench, and Mr. Mitchell was placed at the bar. He was cordially saluted by several of his friends, and when his counsel, Mr. Holmes, took his seat, the learned gen- tleman was greeted with a hearty cheer from the occu- pants of the gallery,among whom were several elegantly attired females.

Mr. Holmes addressed the court on the part of Mr. Mitchell.--Judge Moore charged the jury, who retired ata quarter past four, and had not returned when the mail left.

It was subsequently telegraphed from the Amphion frigate to the Princess steamer, after her departure from Dublin last night, that Mr. Mitchell had been found guilty. The report may be credited, as it has been gent to the government in London on the authority of the Admiralty agent, by electric telegraph.

FRANCE.

In the National Assembly, a decree was announced, banishing the Orleans family. The long talked of festival in the Camp De Mars took place on thg 2Ist of May, and passed of peaceably. Several arrests have taken place. Letters were read in the Assembly by the President, from Francois D’Orleans, Henri D’Orleans and Louis D’Orleans, protesting against the decree of banishment.

SPAIN, ‘

More hard fighting has taken place in madrid be- tween the troops, and considerable Joss on bath sides was the result, the people took no part in the insurrec- tion whatever—The British Minister Sir Henry Bulwer was peremptoralily ordered to leave Madrid at 24 hours notice, it was alledged against Sir Henry thatby the distributingrof British gold,he had fomented the hte in- surrection at Seville against the Government, From what was since said by Lord Palmerston in the House of Commons on the subject, it would seem thatit will hot interfere with the amicable relations existing be- tween Great Britain and Spain.

Tranquillity is restored at Rome though im what basis does not very clearly appear. we suppose/he Pope will not personally declare War against Ausria, but, 2!lowing his ministers to do so will effect a coppromise that, with shallow minds, may somewhat save his dig- nity,

HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE.

The Portland Umpire gives an account of a dreadful catastrophe attended by loss of life.

STeAMBOAT Brown up, anb Loss oF Lire.—Our! whole Community was thrown into intense excitement at about eleven o’clock this forenoon, by a report from the Kennebec dam, that one of the Waterville steam- boats had been blown to pieces in the Lock, causing the death of most of the passengers and crew!

Our citizens rushed to the spot in great numbers, and such ascene as met their eyes we are unable to de- scribe,

The boat (the Halifax, just completed, and this her second trip,) was completely riddled from stem to stern —parts of her being thrown over the walls of the Lock, into the river parts far up the bank, and the rest of her lying in the Lock, a mass of ruins!

Great was the excitement, for none knew how many nor who were the victims.

At this time we have been enabled to gather the fol- owing painful particulars:

The Halifax was on her trip from Waterville to this

place. Arriving atthe dam, the engineer neglected, from some cause or other, to blow off the steam, and just as she was leaving the lock, the boiler burst with a tremendous explosion, causing the death of some sir or erght persons. Emierants.--The unprecedented number of 10,- 035 steerage passengers arrived at the Quarantine Ground on Saturday and Sunday mostly Germans, and in good health and circumstances, The vessels in which they came were ina very clean state. Some seventy cases of small pox were the whole amount of sickness amongst the large number of passengers.

At New York, lately a destructive fire broke out in the stable belonging to Kipp & Brown, and it was with the greatest difficulty that a few horses in the front stable were saved. All the horses in the interior of the building (143 in number) were burned to death. A large quantity of hay, together with 36 stages, were entirely destroyed. It is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. After the fire was partially ex- tinguished, one of the walls fell,and several firemen very narrowly escaped being crushed beneath it. The whole Joss is estimated at about $100,000,

An extensive cotton factory and about 60 houses were burned down at Baltimore last Sunday afternoon. The loss was equal to $150,000.

Accounts from Mexico represent that the treaty of peace is likely to be ratified by the Mexican Govern- ment. &

American deserters are aaid to be continually arriving at Queretaro, and during the 25th, 26th and 27th ult. no less than twenty presented themselves to the Mexi- can Government.

INDIAN WAR IN OREGON+FOUR BATTLES+THE WHITES VICTORIOUS—MASSACRE OF MISSIONA-

RLES.

Lovuisvitte, May 21, 1848

By the arrival of Major Meek from the west we have late and most important news from Oregon, where all is confusion and bloodshed between the whites and In- dians. Four powerful tribes have united and com- menced a deadly war. Four batiles took place in Jan- uary, in three of which"the whites were successful in beating theirenemy. Five hundred whites fought a body of two thousand Indians a whole day, when the Indians retreated, after wounding a great number of whites,

On the 29th of November, a most horrid and brutal ‘massacre was committed by the Cayuse Indians, at the Presbyterian Mission, at the Wallal-Wallah valley. Dr. Whitman and wife, with eighteen others were killed, and sixty or seventy taken prisoners. "he houses of the Missionaries and their neighbours were burned to the ground. ‘The unfortunate prisoners were subsequently ransomed, through the agency of Peter Sken Ogden, chief factor of the Hudson Bay Company.

This is war—war without truce or quarter, unitil an honorable peace is conquered. Such is the programme of this revolution, at the head of which are distinguished Generals A!monte, Bustamente and Pa- redes, to whose appeals all who are Mexicans rather than partisans will respond. “Ihe tocsin of Liberty has sounded at last.
