LONDON, April A.-The budget, which was
introduced IN the House last evening by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, forms the chief
topic Of editorials this morning with the Lon.
don press. The Times, and most of the Liberal
Journals, are dissatisfied with the estimates Of
the Chancellor, and say that the budget is In
definite and unsafe.
The Times predicts that supplementary esti-
mates will be found necessary to meet deacien.
cies, and thinks that the burden ought to fall
on customs and not on incomes.
Late and important intelligence has been
received from Japan via Shanghai. The Ty-
coon states that the Basha had retired from
the Government. The Mikado offers indem.
nifty for the murder Of the French sailors at
Osaca.
LONDON, April 2i-Evening. trial Of
the Fenian prisoners, accused of the explosion
of Clerkenwell, was resumed at the old Bailey,
at 10 O'Clock this morning. After the exami-
nation Of few more witnesses, whose testi-
mony merely corroborated that already given,
the case for the prosecution rested. At this
stage Of the proceedings, Mr.. Williams, coun-
sci for o'Keefe, moved for the entry OF nolle
prosequi In the case Of his client. Straight ar.
gued that none of the proof adduced by the
prosecution connected his client, Timothy
Desmonds, with the Fenian plot. Reagh and
Green also spoke at length for their clients,
English and Barrett.
Green was quite certain that Barrett was
not implicated even in the remotest degree in
the Clerkenwell crime. He sifted the evidence
against his client, showing that mass OF con.
tradiction would prove that Barrett was in
Glasgow on the 18th of December, the day on
which the explosion occurred. A shoemaker
OF that city named McNaushty, had sworn
that he saw him on the 18th, 18th, and l4th, and
heard him read an account of the explosion In
his shop. Other witnesses from Glasgow
swear to the same. On the conclusion of Mr..
Green's remarks the court adjourned till to.
| morrow.

to a question, admitted that the Emperor of
Russia had made secret proposals to the Brit

would not be made public.

ccde without compulsion, is policy which 1t
is impossible for Great Britain to pursue.
