Our Weekly Budget

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET

ri iHE Queen , accompanied by the Princess Beatrice and I _ Prince Leopold , and attended by the usnal suite , arrived at Balmoral on Friday last , having accomplished the journey from Osborne within twenty-two hours . Perth , where a stoppage of fifty-five minutes was made

for breakfast , was reached almost exactly at half-past nine in the morning . There was a very large crowd on the platform , aud Her Majesty received a very hearty welcome . The same happened at Ferry-hill , Aberdeen , where the train is shunted to the Deeside Railway , and at Ballater ,

where the railway portion of the journey comes to an end . At the latter place only a limited number were admitted to the platform , but the station-square was crowded , and a guard of honour of the 79 th Regiment was drawn up and saluted as Her Majesty passed to her carriage , while tlie

people cheered most lustily . The weather was favourable during the greater part of the journey . The Court is expected to remain in the Highlands till the month of

November . On the evening of the same day the King of Denmark left London on his return to Copenhagen . He was accompanied to the station by his daughter , the Princess of Wales , who took leave of him there .

Ifc is gratifying to be in a position to announce that Prince Albert Victor is so far restored to convalescence that he was able to bear the fatigue of the journey to Osborne , whither , under the care of his mother , he was taken on Saturday last . The Princess was met , on her arrival at

Portsmouth , by the Prince of Wales and Prince George , Mr . F . Knollys and Admiral Foley being in attendance on His Royal Highness . The party at once went on board the Royal yacht Osborne , and were conveyed to Cowes , the harbour guns saluting as the yacht passed out to sea . It

is to be hoped that the pure air of the Isle of Wight will speedily bring Prince Albert Victor back to health . His illness has been a long and trying one , though at no time , we believe , were the symptoms calculated to cause any serious amount of anxiety . It is expected that the Prince

of Wales will preside , on Wednesday next , at the Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge , and that he will move the two resolutions entered on the agenda paper , namely—a vote of two hundred guineas towards the relief of the

sufferers by the fire at St . John , New Brunswick , and another of one hundred guineas towards alleviating the distress of the sufferers by the cataclysm on the coast of Peru . This will be the first appearance of His Royal Higness in Grand Lodge since his installation .

Though all London is commonly said to be out of town at this season of the year , there is no perceptible diminution in the number of its inhabitants , except , of course , at the West End . Elsewhere , the streets are as crowded as ever , and the foreigner who visited the metropolis for the first

time , and was told that this was our holiday season , would probably wonder what it was like in the season of work . And though visiting theatres and similar places of entertainment is not the most agreeable pastime in the world during the dog days , there are found a goodly number of

people who are willing to bear any amount of heat in order to see a new drama , or hear good music . The Alhambra , for instance , is thronged every evening with those who love to hear Offenbach ' s music , and see a good ballet . The Adelphi ,

the Haymarket , and other theatres are fairly well attended by lovers of the drama , while in the way of music , we have Messrs . Gatti ' a Promenade Concerts at Covent Garden , and Madame Liebhart ' s Concerts at the Asn-icultural Hall . At

the latter , the scries of vocal , orchestral , and military concerts was inaugurated very successfully on Tuesday , and , albeit the building is nofc one of the most attractive from an architectural jioint of view , the scene on the opening evening was must charming . Not only was there a choice selection of vocal and instrumental music co deli ght the ear , but thero was likewise a magnificent display
