Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

AS the end of the Session approaches , a vast amount of work is being got through . We do not envy onr legislators their task . Some days in the week the morning and evening sittings together occupy from ten to eight

hours , and this is heavy in the month of July . On Monday , the debate in the House of Lords on Extradition Treaties was abruptly terminated , the Lord Chancellor being seized with so violent a fit of coughing as to be unable to pro . ceed Avith his remarks . The discussion therefore was

formally adjourned , and will be resumed shortly . The greater part of the week , in the House of Commons , has been devoted to the consideration in Committee of the Government Elementary Education , and several smart passages of arms have occurred between the opponents and

supporters of the measure . Ministers , in fact , have accepted an amendment proposed by Mr . Pell . Hence , a battle-royal has been fought over the proposal , the result being substantial success , as far as numbers go , on the part of the Conservatives . Our readers must judge for

themselves of the value of the measure generally—Mr . Pell ' s proposal in particular . On Monday , the author of Grinx ' s Baby was again to the fore , with a question relative to the Earl of Derby's answers to certain recent deputations . to his lordship on the policy of England in the Eastern crisis .

Mr . Jonkins , in the character of a politician , is a picture that creates ridicule . Apparently , he has a firm belief in his own unrivalled excellence , but few people seem disposed to

agree with him . When we see a pigmy challenging a giant , we usually feel a little nervous for the pigmy . Feeding bottles were a better subject than foreign politics for Mr . Jenkins to tackle . The discussion on the Foreign

policy of the Government in the great Turkish question is fixed for Monday . On Monday , the Queen , who is now at Osborne , held a Court for the purpose of receiving the deputations appointed by the cities of London and Dublin , and the

Commission of Lieutenancy of London , to congratulate Her Majesty on the safe return from India of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales . Lord Mayor Cotton , Aldermen Carter , Sir W . A . Rose , and Sir Thomas Dakin , the Recorder , the Sheriff , City Remembrancer , and some forty

Common Councillors represented the Corporation of London . The Lord Mayor and a number of gentlemen appeared for the Lieutenancy of London , and the Lord Mayor , Councillor Maurice Brooke M . P ., Alderman Fry , Councillor O'Neil and others , formed the deputation from the Dublin

Corporation . The Queen , accompanied by the Princess Beatrice and Prince Leopold , and attended by the principal officers of State , entered the reception room about half-past one . The Deputations were severally ushered in , and most graciously received by Her Majesty , the mover and seconder

of each address being personally presented . Luncheon having been served , the Deputations returned to London . The Prince and Princess of Wales have been , this week , to Goodwood , where , as our readers know , is held one of the most attractive race meetings of the season . Lord

Hartington's Monaco won the Stewards' Cup , on Tuesday , and , on Wednesday , the favourite , Hampton , came in first , and secured the Goodwood Stakes , Admiral Byng running a good second . Perhaps , however , the beauty of the Duke

of Richmond's park , the freshness of the sea breezes , and last , but not least , the excellence of the lunch , find even greater favour Avith visitors than the sport , though the latter certainly includes two or three of the most important fixtures of the year .

The Wimbledon meeting is now over . Of the contests which we left unnoticed last week , that for the Elcho Shield terminated in favour of England , while the Australian Internationa ] contest , of which we gave the results of the first stage only , ended , after a close and exciting struggle , in favour of the samo country , by only
