Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Duke of Connaugnt left Balmoral on Friday last , for the purpose of taking up his command of the 1 st Batfc . of the Rifle Brigade , quartered at Dublin . On his arrival at Kingston , His Royal Highness was met by several of the authorities , and on reaching the Irish Capital drove to the Barracks , -where his regiment lay ,

amid the heartiest demonstrations of the populace . The same day the Duke left Balmoral , the Prince and Princess of Wales , accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland , visited Wick , it being fully three hundred years since any royal personage has gone so far north in

the British Isles . Naturally the excitement of the inhabitants was commensurate with the rarity of the occasion . Accordingly the town , or at least that portion of which the royal visitors would have to traverse , was quietly yet

gaily decorated , the Town Hall and the Railway Station making the most effective display . About noon , the party arrived at the station , where they were received by the Provost and town magistrates , the Sheriff of the County , the Earl of Caithness and others . At the Town Hall an

address of welcome was presented , to which the Prince most graciously replied . After a very brief stay the party proceede'd on their way northwards , but the rejoicings of the worthy burghers were prolonged till late in the evening . A banquet was held in the afternoon , at the Town

Hall , when the usual loyal toasts were most enthusiastically received . Iu the evening the whole town was illuminated ; the effect is reported to have been very grand , and there was likewise a very successful display of fireworks . Among those present to witness the

passage of the Royal party were the Artillery and Riflo Volunteers of the county , and our Brethren of the district . Since the return to Dunrobin Castle their Royal Highnesses have been going about visiting various places of interest in the neighbourhood . The weather has , however ,

been very unfavourable . According to the Scotsman grand preparations are being made at Glasgow to receive the Prince on the occasion of his visit to lay the foundation of the New Post Office . Some dissatisfaction is reported , in consequence of the Volunteers to be reviewed being limited

to 6 , 000 , but the Masonic arrangements appear to be very perfect . Grand Lodge will be opened in the Albany Academy at 1 . 30 p . m ., the daughter Lodges assembling in Burnbank Park an hour previously . These will be marshalled in the procession according to seniority . The order

of the procession will be—firstly , a band of music , then tho daughter Lodges four abreast , the senior Lodge in front , followed by Provincial Grand Officers according to the seniority of their several Provinces , and then the Grand

Lodge Officers . When the head of the column reaches the triumphal arch at George-square , the brethren will open their ranks to permit of Grand Lodge passing to the platform , and will stand fast till the Prince returns between tho same to the Lord Provost ' s residence . Full Masonic

costume will be worn , and there will be a grand Masonic banquet in the evening . We doubt not the occasion will prove both the strength and loyal devotion of our Scottish brethren . Among the more recent of what are commonly known

as extra-Parliamentary " utterances , the most important aro those of Mr . W . E . Forster , at Bradford j Lieut .-Col . Lloyd-Lindsay , at Reading ; and the Duke of Somerst , at Warminster . Mr . Forster , though a prominent member of the Gladstone Cabinet , expressed his readiness to

support the endeavours of Lord Derby , whose conduct he highly eulogised , to secure the peace of Europe . Col . Lloyd-Lindsay was able to speak with considerable emphasis on the recent events of the campaign , as he has only just returned from the seat of war . He did not conceal from his audience that great or licit wn had been practised by the irregular Turkish troop-, but he laid great stress on the
