Our Weekly Budget.
improvement was proposed , but the proposal was defeated by 248 to 29 . A motion by Mr . Hunt to insert " seed" and " hay " was carried by 268 to 77 . An amendment of Sir G . Campbell on Clause 7 was accepted by the Government , and agreed to by the House . At the evening sitting , the subject of the New
Opera House , proposed to be creeled on the Thames Embankment , was introduced by Colonel Beresford , but his motion was negatived . A long discussion ensued on the Enclosure of Commons . The subject of Police Cells was brought up by Sir W . B ' razer , soon after which the House
was counted out . On Monday , Sir C . Adderley gave notice of the introduction of a temporary measure relating to unseaworthy ships , for the better protection of life , Mr . Roebuck having previously moved that Mr . Plimsoll ' s Bill on the same subject should be fixed for Thursday . Later
on , the House resumed the consideration of the Agricultural Holdings Bill at Clause 7 , and after a long and searchingdiscussion , reached the 15 th Clause , when progress was reported . After this the remaining clauses of the Militia Laws Consolidation and Amendment Bill were gone through .
On Tuesday , Mr . Dillwyn questioned the Premier as to the progress of business , after which a motion by Mr . W . H . Smith , to the effect that Government orders should take precedence on Tuesdays and Wednesdays , was carried by an overwhelming majority—178 to 19 . The House then
resumed Committee on the Agricultural Holdings Bill , and having reached the 43 rd Clause , progress was reported , the sitting having , as usual , been suspended at seven o ' clock and resumed at nine . On Wednesday , the debate was resumed on the same Bill , during the early part of the sitting , at
Clause 43 , and when the crucial Clause of the Act , Clause 45 , was reached and agreed to by the House , after division —178 for , and 116 against—progress was reported , in order that Sir C . Adderley might ask for leave to introduce a Bill re unseaworthy ships . The object of the measure , which
will remain in force for one year , is to give the Board of Trade greater power than it already possesses to stop the departure of ships deemed to be unseaworthy . For this purpose the Board of Trade will have the right to appoint officers at various ports , who may , propria raotu , and without
reference to the Board of Trade , stop all ships which appear to be overladen . Leave was given , and the Bill was read a first time , the second reading being fixed for two o ' clock on Friday . After this the House rose . On Thursday , at the commencement of the sitting , Mr . Plimsoll apologised
frankly for his impetuous language of that clay week , upon which Mr . Disraeli moved that the resolution calling upon the Speaker to reprimand the hon . Member for Derb y be discharged . This was done accordingly . The House then went into Committee again on the Agricultural Holdings
Bill , Mr . Dillwyn first blocking the way , by proposing that progress be reported , in order to enable Mr . Plimsoll to proceed with the second reading of his Merchant Shi pping Bill . It transpired , in the course of the somewhat heated debate which followed , that Mr . Plimsoll was anxious that
the Government Bill should take precedence of his , and , accordingly , Mr . Dillwyn ' s motion was withdrawn . The remaining clauses having been discussed seriatim , and the points on which the Government laid the greatest stress having been agreed to , though not without several divisions ,
the Chairman was ordered to report the Bill as amended , and the House accordingly resumed . The Militia Laws Consolidation and Amendment Bill having been read a third time , and other measures having been dealt with , the House rose at a quarter past one .
It is long since the annual meeting at Wimbledon , of the National Rifle Association , has been so unfortunate in respect of weather . Dnrinp ; the whole of the fortnight over which
it extended it rained almost without intermission , and those who camped out must have had experiences of mimic campaigning not always of the most agreeable character . However , the weather would seem to have had little , if any , effect upon the shooting , which appears to have been quite
up to the average . In some cases , indeed , some splendid scores were made , notably by Lieutenant Birch , Leeds Rifles , who made 50 , the highest possible score at 500 yards , ten shots , and so became the winner of the Any Rifle Association Cup , which , according to general expectation , had
already been secured by ono of the American team , with a score of 49 . So sanguine , indeed , were the latter of carrying the cup back with them that they had already wired
their success under the Atlantic , and great , of course , must have been their chagrin when they found themselves so unexpectedly birelied out of their looked-for honour . To recapitulate even a tithe of the winner a of import-

ant prizes would occupy far more space than we can devote . Suffice that all the recipients of prizes were heartily cheered by their friends and comrades , and that not a few names which for years have been associated with victory at Wimbledon figured among the fortunate ones .
Thus , Lieutenant Fenton 77 th Foot , won Lloyd ' s cup with 67 out of 75 points , distance 1 , 000 yards , and also the Dudley prize , with 44 out of 50 , ten shots , same range . Sir H . Halford carried off the Duke of Cambridge ' s for military breech loaders , 15 shots , 1 , 000 yards , score 55 .
Mr . Edward Ross won the Albert Prize , second stage 1 , 030 yards , Private Burgess , the Prince of Wales ' s prize , and the Oxfordshire Yeomanry , Colonel Lloyd Lindsay ' s Prize . Among the winners , who , in addition to the above , met with the heartiest reception , were the Harrow Boys ,
who won the Ashburton Shield , Cambridge , who carried off the Chancellors' Shield , the Canadians , who took the Rajah of Kolapore ' s Cup , Major Fulton , of the Americans , the Irish eight , winners of the Elcho Challenge Shield , Captain Easton , winner of the St . George ' s Vase and two other
prizes , and above all the hero of the year , Captain Pearse , of Devon , who received the Queen ' s Prize and the Gold Medal and Badge of the N . R . A . When the distribution was over , a long interval elapsed ere the march past began , but
this went off extremely well , though shorn of its principal attraction , the regular cavalry and artillery , which generally put in an appearance . The Princess Louise , Marchioness of Lome , distributed the prizes , and said a few kind words to those who received their well-won laurels at her hands .
It only now remains for the Volunteer Artillery meeting to be held at Shoebnryness , and then the leading incidents of the volunteer year 1875 will have passed away . The Autumn Manoeuvres closed with a grand review of the two army corps , which have been engaged for the last
fortnight in testing their efficiency . The review was held in the Long Valley , in the presence of H . R . H . the Duke of Cambridge , who was accompanied by a numerous and brilliant staff , including many foreign officers of distinction . The troops mustered close on 20 , 000 men , with 108 guns ,
and their behaviour appears to have drawn very warm expressions of praise from the Commander-in-Chief . The regiments were not numeric illy strong , but they seem to
have some good material in them , good "food for powder , " in spite of the outcry about weak , ill-conditioned youths . But 20 , 000 men is not a large army in these clays , when even a small State like Belgium has its 100 , 000 men under
arms . This summer will long be remembered as one of the most disastrous to our harvest . The root crops , we believe , are in fine condition , though there is a talk of the potato disease having appeared . But vast quantities of hay have
been lost , and barley and oats have likewise suffered to an almost equal extent . A propos of this , a Mr . W . A . Gibbs has invented a new machine for drying hay , and there would seem to be an excellent opportunity now for him to test its merits . If it answer the expectation of the
inventor , this hay-making machine will certainly be serviceable in such a climate as ours . We may hope it will prove to be a success , though we greatly fear it will be of little use in restoring the present damaged hay crops to anything like their original value . While on matters
agricultural , we may mention that the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland's Show was opened on Tuesday , at Glasgow . The display of implements was ou a very large scale , and included this of Mr . Gibbs ; while the entries for cattle , horses , sheep , swine , poultry , and
agricultural produce , were satisfactory both as to quality and numbers . Among the shorthorn prize winners , may be mentioned the famous Lord Irwin , the Duke of Nosta , and two of the hitter ' s progeny . The exhibitors included the Queen , the Dukes of Richmond , Athole , and Buccleugh ,
the last of whom won many prizes , the Earl of Ellesmere , who distinguished himself in swine , and Lord Chesham , who was among the prominent sheep winners . There has been held aho , at Norwich , tho East of England Horse
Show . On Friday next , the International Dog Show opens , at Manchester ; on Tuesday , the Dublin Horse and Rose Show . Saturday will be the first day of a Pony Show at Lillie Bridge .
The most important event in the sporting world is thy Goodwood meeting , at which their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales have been present as guests of the Duke of Richmond . Fortunately the weather this week has been magnificent , and those who attended tho meeting had a grand opportunity for enjoying themselves .
