THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

A banquet was given at the Kaiser Hotel, Berlin, in honor of Carl Schurz. Count Herbert Bismarck, several members of the Reichstag, and other distinguished persons were present It is reported that Queen Victoria is about to confer a decoration upon Prince Bismarck in recognition of the gallantry and good-will shown by the Iron Chancellor during her recent visit m Btr.in The Chinese are not wanted in Australia, The Governor at Melbourne refused to allow the landing of 268 immigrants brought from Hong Kong. At Leughrea, Ireland, William O’Brien, member of and editor of United Ireland of Dublin, was convicted and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment Mr. O’Brien was charged with violating the crimes act by advising the people in a proclaimed district to join the League. Mr. Gilhooly, member of Parliament, who was sentenced to two weeks’ imprisonment fer offenses under the crimes act; has been released. A large crowd greeted him as he left the prison. In a speech Mr. Gilhooly referred to the Pope’s rescript He said the plan of campaign protected rack-rented tenants, and he did not believe the Bishops and priests would deprive the people of that most potent weapon. A Dublin dispatch says United Ireland has a violent article on the Pope’s decree. It says: The rescript stamps Balfour’s abject failure. It is the coercionists’ last card. The Tories have imitated the weakest and most despicable of English monarchs, King John. They have paid tribute to Rome tor help in the hour of ignominious defeat, thereby buying their own deathwarrant. They also hoped that the rescript would demoralize the Catholic faith in Ireland, which they hate as bitterly as they do the league. They hoped indignation and wounded affection.would be more powerful than terror; but they will utterly fail in both nefarious projects. Irishmen will take the rescript for what it is worth and nothing more. The article concludes with a denunciation of Mgr. Persico’s “one-sided inqu’ry.” Anew journal, the Irish Catholic, has a mild leader to the same effect Emperor Frederick was free from fever the morning of the 4th and able to rise from his bed. He is now considered out of immediate danger, and no more bulletins will be issued unless a relapse should occur.
