GENERAL SUMMARY. London, 20th Jan. The Fenian excitement has some what aholod

The employees of the Magnetic Te-Is.-rro-.K .-.ffi.-.a nt T>.-.1f.-.cS v.'im were recently arrested for alleged Fenianism, have been set at liberty, nothing being elicited in their examination to sustain the charges against them. The Fenian officers and men who were arrested on the 31st of December at Merthyr-Tydvil, in South Wales, have been examined and comitted for trial on the charge of treason. Mike Marratt, who it is now claimed is positively known to be the party who fired the fuse at the Clerkenwell explo sion, has been arrested at Glasgow and brought to this city in irons. A Fenian manifesto was found yesterday morning posted on the walls of the Mansion House, where it had been affixed despite the vigilance of the police, who have no clue to the perpetrators of the daring act. A man named Clancy has been arrested in this city, charged with firing upon the police. A phial of explosive fluid known as “Greek fire” was thrown on the 16th inst., at one of the witnesses for the Government in the Fenian trials at Cork. The material failed to ignite, and no injury was done. No clue has been obtained to the perpetrator. Dr Waters, another editor of the Dublin Irishman, has been arrested, but upon what particular charge is not stated. It is supposed, however, to he complicity in the Fenian movement.

The police of Limerick have made a seizure of guns and ammunition found in the shops of that city, to put them out of the reach of the Fenians.

It is reported that Lord Bloomfield, the British Minister to Austria, and Lord Clarendon have gone on a mission to Rome, to request the Pope to use his influence with the inhabitants of Ireland for the suppression of the Fenian agitation. Considerable excitement has been occasioned in this city by the announcement that the Fenian Deasy, who, with Kelly, was rescued from the custody of the police at Manchester some weeks ago, bad been captured. The police on the afternoon of the 16th inst. overhauled a man near Waterford, Ireland, who answers completely to the description of Deasy. There are other strong circumstances in the case which warrant the belief that the authorities are not mistaken. The prisoner, under strong guard, has been sent to Manchester, where he will be confronted with the fellow prisoners of Deasy for recognition. The government officials are very activeand vigilant. Yesterday, two Americans, named Barrett and O’Neil, were arrested at Glasgow and imprisoned. Papers found on their persons indicate beyond doubt that they belong to the American wing of the Fenian organisation.

The motion recently made in the Court of Queen’s Bench for a change of place of the trial of the Fenians Burke, Casey, Shaw, and Mullany from Warwick to London is likely to be granted. The Cunard steamer Scotia, from New York, arrived off Queenstown on on the 18th inst., and the police went on board of her and arrested the following passengers:—Messrs G. Francis Train, Grinnell and Gee. It is understood that these gentlemen were taken into custody on a charge of being active members of the American wing of the Fenian organiThese proceedings naturally enough cause considerable excitement both here and elsewhere throughout the kingdom, and especially among the American residents. A strict search of the baggage and person of Mr Train disclosed no proof or complicity with the Fenian movements, or justifying his arrest by the British police on suspicion of being concerned in Fenian plotting. Mr Train asserts that he came over to Europe as the special correspondent from Ireland for a New York paper. He has formally protested through the United States Consul, against liis de-

tOiiiioij, and declares that he was arrested upon no other ground of suspicion than the finding of an Irish paper in his trunk. iota February. One of the gates of the City of Cork was blown up by a band of Fenians on the 4th inst. At the same time all the telegraph wires leading into the city were cut. The prompt action of the police prevented any farther demonstration.

The Times in an editorial on the arrest of the Irish American citizens ad mits that the arrest and imprisonment of George Francis Train was a mistake, but says it should be distinguished from the arrest of Irishmen who come over from the United States with the secret intention of creating a revolt against the Government Cable despatches dated this morning have been received. Napoleon has objected to Spain sending troops to Rome,

The Italian Minister in London has tendered his resignation to the King. The great tragedian, Cbas, Kean, is dead. Mrs Kean has received from the Queen a letter which expresses in the most gracious terms the sympathy awakened in her Majesty’s mind by the loss Mrs Kean has sustained. Wool prospects in England are brightening.
