Our Weekly Budget.

Free Convalescent Home for the poor . Mr . Gladstone , the Bishop of Ely , Lords Lawrence , Napier and Ettrick , and Eliot , Earl Cowper , Baron F . de Rothschild , Sir R . Wallace , and a number of civic dignitaries , together

with the Lady Mayoress , Mrs . Gladstone and other patrons and patronesses were present . Mr Gladstone advocated the cause of the charity with great earnestness , and the result was the subscrip tion in the room of a considerable

sum . On Tuesday , the Royal Italian Opera , Covent Garden , opened with the performance of Rossini ' s Ouglielmo Tell M . Maurel took the part of William Tell aud Signor Marini and Mdlle . Bianchi , as Arnoldo and Matilda ,

produced the same favourable impression as last season , in spite of the cold and hoarseness from which they were suffering , and for which the indulgence of the audience was claimed . The Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Teck were present .

Between Saturday and Sunday afternoon , a robbery , on a very large scale , was perpetrated on the premises of Messrs . J . R . Williams and Son , of Hatton Garden ; jewellery to the amount of over £ 15 , 000 having been cleared out of two safes . There is reason to believe the

thiei , or thieves , must havo been intimately acquainted with the arrangements of the premises . The street door had , first of all , to be opened , and this had to be clone by using two different keys , and turning them at the same time . Then the door leading from the hall to the offices had to

bo opened , and lastly the safes , which were Chatwood ' s patent , and constructed on the most intricate principles , had to be unlocked . No violence was used , and singular to relate , the principal safe stood facing a window which looked full into the street , and was always unblindcd both

day and night . No clue , as yet , has been found to the perpetrators of this daring robbery ; but , as usual , tho police are said to be in possession of certain information . A reward of £ 600 is offered for the recovery of the property .

The usual Easter Monday Review of Volunteers , will be revived this year , and will be held at Tring . A circular has been issued from the War Office , in which it is stated that all applications on the part of corps to be present , must be made on , or before , Monday next , after which no

application will be entertained . Though the scene of the review is in the eastern district , the Commander-in-Chief has entrusted the arrangements to the Staff of the Home district , as the bulk of those present will belong to the latter .

The Show of Cats , Rabbits , and Guinea Pigs , at the Alexandra Palace , on Saturday , Monday and Tuesday , was on a very large scale—in point of numbers , perhaps , the largest ever held . There were over 450 entries in all ; tho Guinea Pigs , however , hardly mustering more than seven

or eight . There were some magnificent specimens , both of Cats and Rabbits , the former including animals of every shade of colour , and wo were almost going to say of every nationality . There were among them a tortoiseshell he-cat —some doubts , we believe , were expressed as to the purity

of its breed—and a red tabby she-cat , said to be the only one of its kind in existence . Among the Rabbits were a large number of lop-eared and Dutch specimens , and very fine indeed some of them were . As regards other attractions , the Palace still offers a great variety , as great , indeed , as

the season will permit ; the theatrical performances , the Hague Minstrels , and the Saturday Concerts being the chief . As the season advances , wo shall , no doubt , have much to say of the weekly programme . With ' anythin " like decent weather the second season should be as successful as the first .

lo-day , at the Crystal Palace , there will be the nsual Saturday Concert , and in the evening will be held a Spelling Bee , open to the public , when prizes of £ 10 , £ 5

, £ o , £ 2 , £ 1 , and 10 s are offered . To-day , also , is the first day of tho grand exhibition of Carriages , Harness , nnd Bicycles , which will remain open till the 11 th instant inclusive .

The most important question before the French public is that of a general amnest y . The ministers , MM . Dufaure and Bicard , attended before the Amnesty Committee of the Senate on Wednesday , and expressed themselves as strongly opposed to a general amnesty , but they announced

that many individual pardons Avonld bo ^ ranted . In Germany , the Imperial project in relation to railways is exercising the public and tho diets of the subordinate kingdoms and principalities , As regards the Eastern

Our Weekly Budget.

Question , conferences have been held with a view to bring about the pacification of the Herzegovina , but the negociatious have fallen through owing to the inability of the Austrian and Turkish Commissioners to agree about one of the stipulations . Ali Pacha will only offer more

promises without guarantee for their realisation , and Mouktar Pacha makes it a condition precedent of any armistice that he should bo allowed to provision the fortified places in the province . These propositions do not meet the views of Baron llodich , the Austrian

commissioner , and , consequently , the conferences aro at an end . Sorvia is reported to have consulted the Czar on the question of peace or Avar , and to havo been advised to avoid doing anything that might disturb the peace of Europe . If further complications should arise , nothing AVOUICI bo lost

by having Avaited . Tho inquiries in connection with sundry scandals in the United States are progressing . General Schenck has been examined before tho Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives relative to his connection Avith the Emma Silver Mine ; and articles of

impeachment against the late Secretary of War arc said to be in course of preparation . The Ministerial crisis in Italy is at an end . The new Ministry have entered on their

duties , and , as they require time for the consideration of the measures presented by the previous Ministry , an adjournment of the Chamber of Deputies till the 25 th ult . has been called for and obtained . On the retirement of tho

late Ministry , Signor Biancheri , President of the Chamber , tendered his resignation , but the resignation was not accepted , and the President therefore remains in his office .

Colonies , at a grand dinner . The arrangements are in tho hands of Bros . W . T . Hawthorn D . G . Secretary , P . J . Stigaut and L . Alexander , and Ave trust the banquet will add to the lustre of Freemasonry in those distant regions .

It is the intention of the Craft in Cape Town to welcome the return , from Griqualand West , of the R . W . the Hon . R . Sonthey , District G . M . for South Africa and adjacent
