From the London Times, September 18.) PRUSSIA. Vg BERLIN, Sept. 17. Herr. von Bismark was yesterday ele vated to the rank of Count, and received a long visit of congratulation from the Kingi:c ANNEXATION OF LAUENBURG BY PRUSSIA. b Rarzeßußra, Sept. 15. A ‘Royal proclamation issued here to day, and countersigned by Herr von Bis mark, declarés that Prussia takes.posses sion of Lauenburg in compliance with the wishes'expressed by the Representa tive-Assémbly of that duchy. The King of i{l;ssjal assumes the title of Duke of Lavenburg. The proclamation promises to protect the “well-estublished rights of the duchy, and’ appoints the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affuirs t¢ be Minister for Lauen burg. The latter will carry on the gov ernment in accordance with the existing laws of the duchy. Tiie proclamation further confirms in their ‘present offices all Lauenburg offi cials subscribing 10 the oath of allegiance to the, King of Prussia. Connt Arnim is appointed Commission er to take possession of the duchy in the name of the King of Prussia, the cerenio ny of doing homage to the King being adjourned until such time as the King can receive it in person, THE GASTEIN CONVENTION. o BrusseLs, Sept. 17. The Indépendance Belge of to-day pub lishes a letter from its London corres pondent, purporting to give a summary Os a circular of Farl _Ruscoll, dated tho 141 h ipst.. t~ the Fnglish representatives avbroad upon the Gastein Convention, It CEVERE “The Gastein Convention increases the regret which Eogland expressed at the period of the signature of the prelimina ries of the Peace of Vienna, and recalls to mind the Treaties ot 1815 and 1852. The Litter has been completely disregard -9(! by Austria and Prassia, notwithstand- Ing; “the assurances given in the notes of Jandary 31, 1864.” Earl Rassell is represented as censur- Ing lie great German Powers because poplilar sentiment in Germany, the wish es of ‘the irthabitants of the Duchies, and the “opinion of the majority in the Diet have not been consulted “Force alone is the power which has been consulted and recognized; violence and conquest are the only bases upon which Austria and Prussia have estab lished the ‘Convention.. England deeply deplores the disregard manifested for public .right and for the legitimate claim of people to be ‘heard when the ques tiod:#s one affacting their destiny.” THE FENIANS. The Irish Government has at last re cognized the existence of the Fenians by an act of politic vigour. At 9 o’clock on Friday night a large force of police was despatched from Dublin Castle to Parlia ment-sireet, where they divided into two bodies and blockaded both ends of the street. ‘Admission was then demand ed at the office of -the Irish People, the organ of the Fenian Brotherhood, but no responce was given, upon which a de taufiinentof.c'onatables was sent to guard the back entrance of the house, and the door was broken in. Ten persons, in- ST.. CROLX AV S cluding the proprietor, were made pri soners and carried, under a strong escort to the College-street Police Station, the police remaining in possession of the pre ‘mises. Two men were suddenly arrest ed as they were following behind in the crowd, and othrers were tiuken into eusto dy during the might or in the course of Saturday. The coup was entirely unex pected, and the resolution upon which the warrant was issued had been taken by the Privy Council, afier anxious deli beration, but :in hour or two before. To this promptitude its complete success was. no doubty maivly due. No resis tance was offered, and the only one who protested was a man named Murphy, who described himself as an American citizen, and stated that he should invoke the pro tection of Mr. Seward. So quietly and efficiently was the whole affair managed that little excitement was praduced at the ti:ne,-and before a mob could assemble all the types, files, and manuscripts, includ ing the list of subscribers, had been safe ly lodged in the Castle yard. It appears that Satarday.is the day on which the Irish People 1s published but it is sup posed that the country edition had alrea d; been posted before the arrival of the police. In the meantime an officer kad been sent to the telegraph-office to pre vent news of the arrest been forwarded to other parts of the country. Owing to this timely precaution the Cork police were enabled to capture a large number of suspected persons about 3 or 4 o’clock on Saturday morning, and it is probable that similar intelligence may reach us from other centres of Fenianism. On Saturday afternoon the Dublin prisoners —2l in all—were brought before the sitt ing magistrates at thre Central Police-of fice. and charged, in effect, with C()DS‘)i racy and treasonable practices, with the view of levying war upon the Queen in Irelund and severing that country from the United Kingdom. A remand was thereupon granted until next Saturday, and bail was refused. The prisoners were greeted with vociferous cheering as they were removed in the van, and sympathy was abundantly manifested by the mob, but no disturbance took place. The immediate reason for striking this decisive blow remuins, of course, to be disclosed. It is always a difficult and delicate matter to select the right mo ment and the riglit mode of crushing a secret organization. There is much force in the old maxin of Tacitus—‘“Spre “la exolescunt; si irascare, adgnita vi “dentur.” But this rule may be carried a great-deal too far, and no conspiracy, however contemptible in its origin, can be allowed to gather head beyond a cer tain point. Had Lord Wodehouse yield ed to the counsels of the Protestant no bility and gentry, he would have resort ed to strong measuses. of repression long ago. The important and influential meeting convened by Lord Fermoy in the county of Cork may well have had some influence on the mind of the Lord- Lieutenant:' At this meeting, attended by 200 magistrates, more specific evidence was given as to thie natare and progress of Fenianism in that county than had previously been made public, and this evidence is confirmed by several cases of illegal drilling that have come before the magistrates in 6ther parts of Ireland dur ing the past week. The Roman Catho lic priests, too, who certainly know more of what is passing among the people than Protestant landlords or clergy, have of late shown: their ‘sense-of the danger by strenuously denouncing Fenianism from the alter. In America, wheve the same rumours of an intended invasion prevail, and whence arms have been sent to Ireland, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of St. Lounis, much to his own honour, has gone so far as to extlude ‘members of the association from the rites of the Church. The Government of Ireland, however, has little need of such warn ings, for it has ample sources of informa tion at its own command. Treason in Ireland has ever been venal and there is probably not an illegal muster in the remotest wilds of Kerry or Conne- mara of which intelligence is not con- veyed within a few hours to the Castle at Dublin. We are bound to give Lord Wodehouse and Sir Robert Peel credit for having selected their opportunity well, and the zeal and ability with which the orders of the Council were executed by their subordinates deserve the highest praise. It is greatly to be hoped that the Fenian leaders still at large, whoever they may be, will now beinduced to pause. Their enterprise may not be the wickedest, but, so far as we can judge, itis by far the wildest, except, perhaps, Smith O’'Brien's, that has yet been planned by Irish agita tors. Almost the only thing that we¢ know for certain about them is that the establishmeut of an Irish Republic is one of their main objects. A more extrava gant .and -chimerical idea never entered the head of an Irishman. An Irish Re public would, indeed, be a portent in history. Granted that all classes in Ire land were united, instead of being divided by religious, political, and sociai feuds— that Saxons codld be distinguished from Celts, and then -expelled from the island —that Great Britain could be humbled, with or without American aid, and com pelled to recognize Irish independence— what then? Tls there any people under the sun mere unfit for a Republican form of Government than the Irish? Is there any character so deficient in those politi cal virtues which are the life ‘'of Repub lics as the Celtic? Is there any country more destitute of those resources, morai and physical, to which the United States, for instance, owe their marvellous suc cess? Is there any more inevitably doomed to be the ‘dependency of some other Power? The truth is that Fenian ism has not and could not haye sprung up spontidneously on Tlrish soil. Itis en tirely of exotic growth, an importation from America, and entirely out of harmo ny with real Irish sentiment. One proof of this is the fact that it seems to have. been propagated chiefly from the towns. There is so much smouldering discon-. tent, and such a natural lawlessness among the Irish peasantry that ready in struments for plots of any kind may sl ways be found among them. But, ex cept so far as Fenianism represents ha tred of landlords, it is never likely to take root in this class, uor is there any other class of any influence in Ireland which does not reprobate it. The priests see that it breathes a spirit of anarchy equally hostile to civil order and spirit ual subordination. They have therefore declared against it, and by so doing they have earned the gratitude of the Govern ment and the public. The mischief done by such movements is not to be measur-- ed by their strength. They may be ex- travagant and hopeless in the last degree, and yet may produce a sense of insecuri ty rninous to the welfare of the country, driving away capital, increasiniabue’qtée—,’ ism, and undoing the good work of many years. Now that it has orce come within

the grasp of the Authorities, Fenianism must be.vigilantly tracked and resolute ly put down. From the Weekly Dispatch, September 17.) THE GASTEIN CONVENTION. The Pafis correspondent of the Inde pendence Belge asserts that the Russian Government has sent a circular to its di plomatic agents abroad, respecting the (Gastein Convention, in accordance with the. circulars of the English and French (Governments. 'l'he same correspondent also Jearns from the best sources that England, France aund Russia long since exchanged views respecting the Duchies, and that a perfect agreement exists be tween the three Powers in their manner of viewing the Salzburg treaty. Geid s FRANCE. On Mounday was inaugurated a statae erected in horour of the Enghsh physi cian, Dr. Jenner, by the united exertions of asocicty of savants in Paris, and the municipal corporation of Boulogne-sur- Mer.' "The statue stands on a marble pe destal about 12ft. high, and measures nearly 10ft.in height. Itis of'iron, bronz ed by galvanic aid. The pose of the fi gure, which is clothed in the costume of 1810, is casy. ~The head is slightly in clined as though absorbed in th¥uwght. In the right hand he holds a lancet; the feft- hand reposes on a pile of treatises placed on a pedestal, frem which depends the sketelrof a cow. The right foot is firmly placed aver theword «“A ngleterre,” while the left is advanced over the word “France.” On the border of the ground work is inscribed the name ¢“Jenner,” and on the pedestal is imprinted “A Ed ward Jenner, la France reconnsissante, 11me Septembre, 1865.” THE DUCHIES. The foilowing cireular has been issued by the committee of thirty-six delegates from the minor German States perma nently in session, to all the members of populur representatiovs throughout the country “By the Gastein Cunvention the Go vernments of .Austria and Prussia have violated in the most flagrant manver the clearest principles of right, and especially that of the Duchies to settle their own future, only limited by the intercst of the German nation. The measures which it was, to. be foreseen would foilow this conyention threaten, in addition to shak ing the sentiment of light of the German people, to annihilate for years the mate rial,and moral prosperity of the Duachies fre¢fl?&9m the Danish yoke by German blood. Tlie undersigned commitiee con nidei}s:if'sfé}f,’ therefore, in duty bound to request the re-assembly of the members of German Diets, already unaniniously determined by the special committee of the §chles.wig-Hols(e'ib clubs, in order to discuss and resolve upon the best means of saving the condition of public right in those lands. The comumittee expecis that the German delegates, who solenin ly promised at the meeting of Dec. 21, 1863, and by the protest handed in at the London Conference of April, 1864, to advocate the free right of self-dipo sal of the Duchies, and to support their rights generally, will now redeem this promise_by their appearance at the new assembly. The undersigned accordingly invites all present, memhers of German Diets, to.a.meéling at Fraokfort on Sun dlykfist@”berri,lt 10 in the forenoon. A 3Te CROLXK, &V L S confidential preliminary meeting is to be held on Saturday, September 30, in the evening. Signed on behalf of the com mittee, _ “Dr. SieeMUND MULLER.” The semi-official Norddeutsche Allgeinei ne Zeitung denies that the Cabinets of the Tuileries and St. James’s, upon re ceiving information of the Gustein: Con vention, declared that as it was of a pro visional character they would reserve their judgment until a definite settlement should be arrived at. The Norddeutsche then continues :—“The text of a pretend ed circular of the French Government, reproduced by the Patrie from a Belgian paper, is a pure invention. The West ern Powers simply acknowledged the re ceipt of the notification of the Conven tion without comment.” The Patriz says that Ear! Rasscll has addressed a circalar note to the British agents abroad, in which his lordship ex presses the same views upon the Gastein Convention as the Cabinet of the Tuiler ies, and in which he declares textually that the Convention is an act unworthy of the preseut age. The Ministerial Provinzial Correspon denz of Berlin says:—“The payment of the indemnity to Austria for the Duchy of Lauenburg will be made for the pre sent from the King’s privy purse. The occupation of Lauenburg will take place without delay. Count Armin Boytzen burg, formerly Minisier of State, has been appointed Commissioner in that Duchy, and will proceed thither very shortly. Further settlement of the posi tion of Lauenburg towards the Prassian Crown has been postponed.” The Provinzial Correspondenz also pub lishes a leading article upon the poliey pursued by Prussia and the Gastein Con vention, concluding as follows :—¢The Prussian stipulations of February remain in full foree, for they still exist, although an important change has undoubtedly taken place. Oun the one hand, the esta blishment of another Government in the Duchies is no longer dubious; and on the other Aastria, in addition to the total cession of Laucnburg, has readily yielded i the present provisional state of affairs to the most material demands made by Pruassia in February. Thus, the Gastein Convention, maintaining the present ami cable relations between the two Powers, is an important step towards the fulfil ment of the hopes and demands of Prus sia.”’ THE DAVENPORTS IN PARIS. COMPLE I'E EXPOSURE. A Paris correspondent writes on Wed nesday “The Davenport Brothers appeared for the first and probably the last time in Paris yesterday evening. They had taken the precadtion to print upon the tickets (price 25 francs euch) a notice that the spectators must implicitly obey the in structions of the interpreter. Notwith standing the price charged the room was filled, bat already before the commence ment of the performance there were symptoms that things would not pass so quietly as in the private abode of the adepts. M. Robin had the evening be fore given an exhibition very closely re sembling the spiritoal 'manizestations_of which the par fratrum are the mediums, 8o that the audience was not only criti cal, but well up in the subject. Some delay occurred in commencing the per formance; a meagre band of musicians endeavoured in vain to fill it up with ate tempts at a'valse, which the impatience of the public would not permit them to finish. At last, a white-cravated, blue coated, gilt-buttoned individual, with gloves (if not hands) irreproachably clean, appeared on the stage. He explained, in somewhat dreamy language, that the brothers made no pretensions to superna tural ‘powers, that they were mere .pas-: sive agents of spiritnal manifestations which they do not pretend to explain. They do not ask for faith; they address themselves to science, te which they pre sent certain phenomena, facts which sci ence and the ‘press mhay discuss. The speech was a long one, and the audience got tired and called out ‘for ‘the experi ments’ and ‘the two Urothers.' They came forward at last looking worn and rather frightened. The interpreter then invited two of the audience to come upon the stage to watch the operation. The two who stepped forward were greeted with hewls of ‘confreres! but these changed to applanse when they named themselves, M. H. de Péne, well known for a celebrated duel, an editor of the Gazette de Estrangers, and the Vicomte Clary. They inspected cords and cup boards, saw nothing suspicious, and the brothers were as securely as usual tied to their bench. The doors are closed, the unearthly hubbub of unomusigal instra ments commences the spectators ask for light, the spirits by their interpreter ob ject; the public is for a moment silent, and the brothers walk out of their box unbound. One of the gentlemen who tied them thinks the ropes produced are not the same as he had used, but the objection does not prevent a second mani festation. This time the brothers who had entered the box unbonnd are found solidly attached to the bench, but a spec tator whose attention had been uninters ruptedly fixed on the bench, jumps on the stage, puts his hand on the bench round which the cords are wound, touch es a spring, the bench bends in the mid dle, and the cords fall at the feet of the caplives, who themselves plumped down, not on their heads. The rush, the row, were terrific, but the appearance of the commissary of police, who announced that the money would be returned, suc ceeded in restoring quiet. The company, after examining the mysteries of the cup-~ board, retired, not sorry to find their money in their pockets, delighted at hav iug detected the imposture and glad to breathe some fresh air, for the heat had been stifling. Let us hope that this is the last we shall hear of this gross imposture.” Tae Beer we Drixk.—Messrs. Guin ness and Company employ in their brew ery about 300 men, through whose hands -no less than 500,000 gallons of water, either in its crude form or manufactured state, pass daily. Thirty tons of coal per day is the average consumption of fuel, and this-with the water is used to extract the virtue from, in round num bers, 1,500 cwt. of grain per day. The “‘pieces” in which the manufactured arti cle is stored number 65, besides 20 others in course of erection, and these coutain from 1,500 to 2,000 hogsheads of 62 gal lons each. The consumption of beer by the workmen—each man’s allowance be ing two pints—amounts to 75 galions per day. The first mashing was per formed in the year 1780, and, notwith standing that the brewery suffered no in considerable damage during the -O’Con nell riots, the property continued to pros per and amass for ite enterprising owner
