THERE has been only one sitting of any length in the House of Lords since Ave Avrote last . On Friday , the Duke of Richmond and Gordon announced that it was his intention to introduce several important amendments into the Medical Act ( 1858 ) Amendment Bill . Consequently
he only moved that the Bill should be committed pro forma , so that it might be reprinted Avith the amendments , and their Lordships have an opportunity of judging of their value . This course was agreed to . On Monday , in reply to Lord Card-well , the Marquis of Salisbury -was able to
announce that the prospects of the Congress meeting had increased during the previous tAvo or three days . The House then Avent into Committee on the Contagious Diseases ( Animals ) Bill . More than one division took
place in the course of the consideration of the different clauses , but ultimately the Bill passed through Committee . After a brief sitting on Tuesday , the House adjourned till yesterday ( Friday ) , Thursday being Ascension Day .
On Thursday , the great debate on the Indian troops question Avas brought to a conclusion , and , on the division , the Government secured a majority of 121 , the numbers being , for Ministers 347 , and for the Opposition 226 . There were also eleven pairs , so that , Avith the Tellers and
Speaker , Ave can account for 600 out of the G 58 members of which the House is composed . Only one Conservative member , Mr . Newdegate , voted aAvay from his party , while twent y Liberals and Home Rulers helped to swell the ministerial majority . On Friday , Mr . Fawcett put a series
of questions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to the movements of Indian troops , and declared his intention of moving a resolution on Monday , the day fixed for Committee of Supply on the Supplementary Naval and Military Estimates for the pay and transport of these troops . Mr . J .
Barclay then moved a resolution , to the effect that the present system of taxing the succession to property is partial and unjust , and , in the opinion of the House , ought to be readjusted . Mr . Barclay found 107 to support him , but the opponents of the resolution mustered 150 , and therefore ho was defeated by 43 votes . Soon afterwards the House went into Committee of Supply on tho Civil
Our Weekly Budget.
Service Estimates , and sat till a very late hour . Ou Monday , the House went into Committee on the Supplementary Estimates , Military ( £ 350 , 000 ) and Naval ( £ 398 , 000 ) , in connection with the despatch of Indian troops to Malta . There was a long and desultory debate , and the money was
not voted without a division , though tho Marquis or Hartington refused to countenance tho Opposition that was offered . In the end the Ministry carried the day by 214 to 40 , or a majority of 174 . The House went into Committee , and the moneys were voted . On Tuesday , nothing
worth recording was done , and the House was counted out shortly after half-past seven . On Wednesday afternoon , tlie greater part of the sitting was occupied in Committee on tho Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday ( Ireland ) Bill , considerable progress being made with ifc .
On Saturday the Queen ' s fifty-ninth birthday was publicly celebrated in the usual manner . The ceremony of trooping the colours on the Horse Guards Parade was witnessed by a more than usually numerous gathering of spectators , and had it been possible , four battalions of the
Guards would have taken part in it ; but this would have curtailed the space available for the public , and therefore only some half-dozen strong companies , with a squadron of Life Guards were present—together with the several bands of the foot regiments . The Princess of Wales , the Crown
Princess of Germany , the Duchess of Teck , and the Prince Imperial witnessed the ceremony from the Horso Guards , and among those present with the Duke of Cambridge at the inspection were His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Germany , the Duke of Teck , Lord Napier of
Magdala , and other officers of distinction . The Prince of Wales was unable to be present , being confined to the house by a severe cold . In the evening Ministers gave full dress Parliamentary banquets in honour of the occasion , and the event was celebrated at the West End with
the customary illuminations , which drew crowds of sightseers , being more numerous and likewise more effective than usual . There was a parade of troops at Aldershot . At Woolwich there was a field-day , two battalions of the Rifle Brigade under H . R . H . the Duke of Connaught , and
about twelve batteries of horse and field artillery being on the ground . At Plymouth , Portsmouth , Dover , and in tho Phcenix Park , Dublin , there were also tho usual military displays , and the numbers of troops which wero reviewed was very considerable . The Volunteers
likewise turned out in considerable numbers , while at the headquarters of the Honourable Artillery Company there was a muster of 320 ( horse , foot and artillery ) , and the royal salute and feu de joic were fired as usual . Indeed , we do not remember for many , many years to have witnessed so much enthusiasm .
The Prince of Wales has , as Ave have already mentioned , been confined to his house by a severe cold . However , the Princess of Wales has been moving freely about , going to the theatre and opera , and riding , driving , and taking an interest in passing events . On Wednesday , she had a
narrow escape from an accident when riding in Rotten Row , owing to her horse slipping . However , the animal quickly recovered itself , and the Princess's habit was not even soiled . The State Concert which was to have taken place on Wednesday , has been postponed , owing to tho
sudden death , at an early hour on Saturday morning , of the Duchess of Argyle . This , of course , has cast a shadow over the festivities of Court circles , as the deceased lady was the mother-in-law of the Princess Louise ( Marchioness of Lome ) . On Wednesday , the Crown Prince o £ Germany ,
the Duke of Cambridge , Lord Napier of Magdala , and General Lysons visited Aldershot , for the purpose of witnessing a sham fig ht of tho troops quartered there . The weather was most uupropitious , aud at one time there seemed to be a question of postponing the review , but his
Imperial Highness's engagements were such that he could not have arranged for a visit any other day , aud , therefore , the party set out as arranged , aud the fight took place , after which the troops marched past , aud the Royal party
returned to town , after having partaken of luncheon During the day au accident occurred to the charger which Lord Napier of Magdala was riding , Colonel Dillon ' s horse kicking it so severely that it had to he killed on the field .
