Our Weekly Budget

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET

TUESDAY witnessed the close of a Session which will long be memorable in Parliamentary annals , not for the number and quality of the measures passed , not for the magnificent displays of oratory such as have occurred afc various times , but for vexatious waste of time caused by two

or three obstructive Irish members . Formerly , when men were elected members of Parliament , they considered it their duty to observe the rules and regulations of the assembly to which they belonged . There have been occasions on which the passage of sundry measures has been

delayed , but these -were in times of great public excitement , and the delays were caused by an Opposition respectable in numbers , and representing the opinions of a large and influential section of the community . For instance , in the old Keform Bill days , party feeling ran high , and the

Opposition , which represented a considerable minority , was persistent . The House of Commons sat late , and there were innumerable divisions , the non-Reformers fighting oyer every clause with dogged obstinacy . But the opposition that has been offered by the Obstructives of this Session

is of the most wanton character . Ifc is indisputable that the half-dozen members who constitute this factious clique represent only themselves . They have been sternly rebuked by the leader of the Irish Nationalist party . They have no policy . The measures they have resisted are

admittedly measures of great public utility , which ninetynine hundredths of the nation recognise as being both wise and necessary ; yet this miserable clique has been able to almost throw our whole Parliamentary system out of gear , and the country which has always boasted of the excellence of

its constitutional government has lately been the laughingstock of the world . It is this which will make the Session of 1877 memorable in our Parliamentary annals , and we wish ifc were in our power to say that it is a fact worthy of being commemorated . But to note the events of the few last

days of the Session . On Thursday the Lords had a pretty long sitting . The amendments of the Commons to the South Africa Bill were considered and agreed to . The Lords' amendments to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Bill were not insisted upon . The Marquis of

Salisbury then moved the second reading of the East India Loan Bill , which will enable the Government to raise a loan of five millions , with the object of meeting certain expenditure principally connected -with the famine in that part of our Empire . The second reading was

agreed to , and the Bill -was afterwards passed through Committee . The Prisons ( Scotland ) Bill and the Colonial Stock Bill were also read a second time . Lord Beaconsfield having offered a few remarks , showing the policy which the Government have resolved to follow during the

Russo-Turkish "War , the House adjourned . On Friday , the Commons' amendments to the Metropolitan Street Improvements Bill were agreed to , after some remarks from Viscount Hardinge and two or three other peers . The Fisheries ( Dynamite ) Bill was read a second time , shortly

after which the House rose , and met again on Saturday , at two o ' clock , and furthered the progress of different measures . On Monday , the Consolidated Fund ( Appropriation ) Bill was read a second time , and the standing orders being suspended , was passed through its remaining stages .

Various subjects , among them the Control of the Metropolitan Police and the efficiency of that body , were discussed . The House met on Tuesday , at two o'clock , when the fourth Session of the present Parliament was brought to a close by Royal Commission , the Lord Commissioners

being the Lord Chancellor , the Duke of Richmond and Gordon , the Marquis of Salisbury , the Earl of Harrowby , and Lord Skelmersdale . The Commons , headed by the Speaker , having appeared at the Bar of the House in obedience to the summons of Black Rod , the Lord Chancellor read the Queen ' s Speech , which waa much shorter
