OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Duke of Connaught is still with the Queen at Balmoral , which Her Majesty is expected to leave for Windsor Castle about the middle of next month . Prince Leopold on completing his visit to St . Andrew ' s took train for Rothesay , on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Bute . Subsequently he will be the guest of the Duke of

Roxburgh during the Kelso race meeting . Meanwhile the Prince and Princess of Wales have been apparent enjoying their visit to Dunrobin . On Friday , the Sutherland Volunteers to the number of upwards of 700 underwent their annual review , Major Weston in command .

The Prince , who , as its Colonel , wore the uniform of the regiment , rode on to the ground accompanied by the Duke of Sutherland , Prince John of Glncksburg , and Colonel Tecsdale , the Princess with the Duchess of Sutherland being in one open carriage and the royal children with

the Caithness Volunteers a hope that he might again have the pleasure of meeting them at Dunrobin . On Monday , their Royal Highnesses , accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland , visited Thurso for the purpose of opening the Caithness and Sutherland Industrial and Art

Exhibition . Great preparations had been made for the reception of the visitors , the railway station and many parts of tho town being gaily decorated with flags and banners , the Artillery and Rifle Volunteers Avere under arms and furnished guards of honour at the station , the

Exhibition , and Thurso Castle , where the Prince lunched with Sir Tollemache Sinclair , M . P . for the County . The Prince formally declared the Exhibition open , and having briefly inspected the building , set off for Thurso Castle , and started on his return to Dunrobin after a short stay for refreshment . A banquet was held in the town in honour of the

occasion , and in the evening Thurso was illuminated . Our brethren of the district took part , so we hear , in the
