THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

A meeting to denounce tbe Government’s course was held in Dublin Tuesday evening. An immense crowd was present and great enthusiasm was manifested. The Lord Mavor presided. There were also two overflow meetings, at which Edmund Leamy and T. P. Gill, M. P., presided. There were present several English and Scotch members of Parliament, including Messrs. Jacob Bright, Cobb, Sutherland, Fenwick, and Haldane.

Prof. Galbraith, a Protestant, moved a resolution denouncing the edict against the league, which was unanimously adopted. Mb. Gladstone offered a resolution in the British House of Commons, says a London dispatch, to the effect “that a humble address be presented to the Queen representing that the Viceroy of Ireland had proclaimed the National League a dangerous association; that no information had been furnished to Parliament to justify the proclamation, by virtue of which her Majesty’s subjects are to be rendered liable to be punished as criminals without a judicial inquiry into the nature of their acts; and that this House, in the absence of such information, prays that said proclamation shall not continue in force as to the association named and described therein.” Mr. Gladstone spoke at length on the resolution, arraigning the action of the Government Mr. Balfour defended the course taken. The political situation at Sofia continues chaotic. All the leading men refuse to enter the ministry, which will be composed of nonentities. The prospects for a brilliant or protracted reign by the now prince are certainly the reverse of flattering. A London dispatch says the excursion yacht Monarch was capsized in a squall in Bristol Channel and fifteen persons were drowned. V is count Donebaile, who was bitten by a fox last January, has just died from hydrophobia. The prosecution of Mr. William O’Brien is treated by the Liberal press of England as a means to inflame Irish passions and give the Government further pretext for action against the National League.
