OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
THE public appears hardly as yet to have got over the elevation of Mr . Disraeli to the peerage . The comments on this unlooked for honour conferred upon a worthy subject by a grateful sovereign still continue . Of those who achieve greatness none certainly appear to have done so in a manner more honourable . Mr . Disraeli has
forced his way up to the foremost position in this country by dint of sheer hard Avork , superadded to the most splendid abilities . It redounds infinitely to his credit that
all classes and shades of politicians appear to rejoice in this latest addition to his honours . A Avord of sympathy , however , is due to the House of Commons , which has thus lost one of its brightest ornaments .
The reception of the Queen at Edinburgh has , according to all accounts , afforded Her Majesty the liveliest satisfaction . Everything , as we said last week , passed off most satisfactorily . The Avorthy burgesses of " the modern Athens" turned out en masse to welcome the Queen .
The ceremonial passed off most successfully , and sundry of them who contributed towards its success have since received the honours of knighthood , among them being the artist Avhose skill in portraiture has been so generally acknowledged . For some time hence the Royal residence in the Highlands will be honoured by Her Majesty ' s
presence . The Prince of Wales has returned to London , from a flying visit to the Continent . The coast of France has seen him , and the capital of little Belgium has received and
honoured him as the guest of its King and Queen . The Brussels exhibition was not overlooked , and the Prince expressed himself as highly gratified Avith Avhat he saw . The Princess and hov children have returned to Loudon
from the Isle of Wight . A move , hoAvever , to Abergeldie Avill take place shortly . The Duke of Connaught is on his Avay to be present at the usual Autumn Manoeuvres of the Austrian army . Earl Russell has Avritten a letter to Earl Granville , in
Avhich he expresses an opinion that an autumnal session of Parliament Avill be necessary , and advocates the intervention of European poAvers in the present Eastern crisis . We feel due respect for the utterances of so experienced a
statesman . An autumn session may be necessary , perhaps ; but the noble Earl appears to overlook the important fact that , but for the insidious designs of Russia , the unrighteous onslaught of Servia upon Turkey would never have been made . We hear much of the atrocities of the
Turks , but little of what goaded them into their present angry mood . Let us mete out to the Turks the same measure of justice Ave demand for the Christian , and we shall soon hear little of atrocities committed by the former . Thus far , at least , it seems to us that Turkey is the
aggrieved party , while on the score of atrocities , Avhich have occurred before now , even in European Avarfare , Russia , Avith the brutal bayonetting of our wounded in the Crimean battles , is one of the last poAvers in the world that can justly bring forward any such accusation .
The inquest into the cause of the terrible explosion on board H . M . S . Thunderer is still in progress . All diligence is being made in order to ascertain the true cause of the disaster . One gratifying fact is worth recording . Captain Wilson , in the course of his evidence , spoke in the highest
terms of the gallant conduct of Mr . Weekes , engineei attached to the Asia for service en board the Thunderer Mr . Weekes Avas the first to make his Avay into the engineroom , and to stop the engines and turn oil ' the steam .
Captain Wilson considered this evidenced the greatest courage on the part of Mr . Weekes , and announced his intention of bringing the matter under notice in the proper quarter when the present inquiry Avas terminated . All honour , say we , to Mr . Weekes .
