GENERAL SUMMARY. London, February 26. The Queen is at Osborne, and quite well. She will hold three drawing rooms soon. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children have arrived at Marlborough House. The Princes derived great benefit from her visit at Sandringham. The Princess Royal has had another son. Prince Leopold has been dangerously ill, and it was thought at one time that his recovery was hopeless. Fenianism is dying out. There has been a few more riots at Cork. M'Kay, a noted Fenian, resisted the police and shot a constable, who has since died. The police charged with fixed bayonets, and injured several of the rioters. Mackay was secured, and is to be tried for murder. He has since been identified as the leader of the attack on the Martello Tower. The Clerkeuwell Fenian prisoners have besn committed. Mullany gave damning evidence as approver. Two editors— Pigott, of the Irishman, and Sullivan, of the Weekly Ncivs— have been convicted of publishing seditious libels. The former has been sentenced to twelve and the latter to six months' imprisonment. Both are to find securities in .£IOOO for future good behaviour. Great anxiety is felt as to the nonarrival of the Somersetshire. She is 83 days out. Lisurances have been effected at thirty guineas per cent. [It will be seen by our latest telegrams that the Somerset, shire has arrived safely.]
