Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Session that terminated last Friday , if not a particularly eventful one , has been productive of sundry measures of great public utility . The Ministry did not accomplish all it proposed . Its enemies , and some even of its well-wishers , think it made one or two mistakes , while its out-and-out supporters claim credit for the measures it

has passed , and throw the onus of blame as regards those which fell into limbo on the O pposition . But setting all political partisanship aside , the realised part of the Parliamentary programme for 1875 will be of great benefit to the

community at large , and especially to those humbler classes to whom the new Labour Laws , the Artisans' Dwellings Act , and the temporary ITnseaworthy Ships Act will be a boon . Thus , if the Session was not a brilliant one , the labours of Parliament have not been thrown away .

And now that Parliament has risen , London , of course , is absolutely deserted , by which figure of speech is meant , of course , that fashionable London , and that other section of it which supposes itself to be fashionable , is scattered to the four winds of Heaven . The glories of tho Eow and tho

Ladies' mile have passed away for the season ; the theatres and operas are nearly all of them closed , the clubs look terribly empty , and everybody who is , or thinks himself to be anybody , is far away , on the hills of Scotland , or at the seaside , "doing" this or that continental tour . For

the nest few months tl . is state of things will continue , and then , when there is a talk about Lord Mayor ' s Show , when we read again of Cabinet Meetings being held in DoAvning Street , and there arc rumours that our jolly Father Christmas will soon be paying us his annual visit ,

London will resume its gaiety , and theatres and concerts et id genus onnc nugarum will again become the order of the day . People will soon afterwards be thinking about the season of 1876 and hoping that sundry of the features that characterised the one just

ended will not figure so prominently next _ year . _ Wo specially alluded to the very frivolous behaviour of the Clerk of the Weather . It is hig h time , we think , considering the very mature age of that elsewhere estimable personage , that he became a little more settled in his habits

in this country . It is very unpleasant to find a person one day all smiles and sunshine , and tho next day all tears , and this year the Clerk has been a very Amelia for raining tear ? , while granting us but now and again the faintest glimmer of a smile . These remarks apply not to the last few days ,

which have been hot enough to satisfy a xiecl Indian , out generally to the summer that is well nigh gone . Wc should not care to chronicle the number of garden parties

and picnics that have been spoiled this year , owing to the very un-Masonic bearing of this Clerk . Doubtless he wi 1 be a little more considerate in the future , and not almost wholly exclude ns from outdoor amusements .

First among those who are flitting northwards to spend the autumn in Scotland is Her Majesty the Queen , who quitted Osborne on Thursday , en route to Balmoral . Shortly before the Eoyal Yacht Alberta , with the Queen ' s suit , & c . on board , reached the Royal Clarence Yard , she ran into a
