OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
THE movcnents in the Royal Family have been comparatively few during tho past week . The Queen and Princess Beatrice are at Osborne . The Prince and Princess of Wales have been staying with their children at Sandringham , and have received a number of visitors ,
among whom must be mentioned the Duke of Connaught , who has since been to Windsor to see his brother , Prince Leopold , and subsequently to London . It is , we believe , pretty generally understood that Her Majesty will not open Parliament in person .
Two more Cabinet Councils have been held this week , at which , with the exception of Sir M . Hicks-Beach , Bart ., M . P ., all the members were present . Indeed , considering that the Session begins on Thursday next , and that the
present is a highly critical juncture , it Avould not much surprise any one if these gatherings of the Cabinet were held daily—supposing that were possible . But Ministers aro only mortal .
Early on Wednesday morning , in spite of the dismal state of the Aveather , Woolwich was the scene of considerable excitement , cnving to the departure of a battery of Artillery for the Cape , Avhere their services are sorely needed . Crowds of people lined the streets and cheered
them as they marched doAvn to the pier , headed by the brass band of the R . A , Numbers of Avork people from the Royal Arsenal turned out for the purpose of wishing them God speed , to Avhich the troops as cordially responded . The strength of the batterv is five officers and 155 men , with
eleven Avomen and fifteen children . On reaching the pier , they embarked on board the Ibis , a river steamer , and later in the day Avere transferred to the Dublin Castle , in Avhich they Avill be conveyed to the Cape . At 12 . 30 p . m . the latter vessel proceeded to sea for Dartmouth , and it Avas
arranged that she Avould leave for the Cape , Avhich -will be reached in about a month's time , yesterday morning . The Dublin Castle also takes out the 90 th Regiment of Foot , which , counting officers , non-commissioned officers , Avith . rank and file together , is betAveen 900 and 1 , 000 strong .
Since his speech at the Druids' dinner , Sir W . V . Harcourt , M . P ., has had another opportunity of addressing a public meeting on the subject of the Eastern Question . This Avas on Wednesday evening , Avhen he Avas present at the annual dinner of the Oxford Liberal Association . As
a member of Mr . Gladstone ' s administrations , the political views of the learned gentleman do not need to be described . One suggestion is Avorth noticing . Sir W . Harcourt thought that an appeal should be made to the country in the present political crisis . In other Avords , and as though there were
not excitement enough already , it is proposed we should be forthwith launched into all the Avorry and trouble of a general election . Many other members have likewise been speaking in public or addressing letters intended for publication to their constituents . Mr . C . Hamond , M . P . for
Newcastle , though not in love with the Turk , is little more amiably disposed toAvards Russia . Sir . C . Adderley , in responding at Hanley for the toast of the House of Commons , spoke discreetly , and as a Minister , of course , from a ministerial point of vieAV . Mr . Rathbone , in his speech f
in he Whitchurch Assembly Rooms , referred to the same subject , and so have Dr . Lush , Mr . E . Jenkins , Sir John St . Aubyn , Sir James Hogg , and Mr . Barclay , all of Avhom are members of the lower House of Parliament . Temple Bar is being removed stone by stone , so that in
a short time there will be no grounds of complaint as to the vehicular traffic of the Strand being further retarded by this relic of Stuart London . However , every portion of it is being sacredly cared for , and as soon as the Corporation of
London has found a proper site , the Bar will be re-erected . flu ' s is as it should be . A building with which the names of such distinguished personages as Wren , the architect of it . Dr . Johnson . Oliver Goldsmith . & c , are associated ,
