OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
rpiIERE is still tho same excitement in political circler , J _ and though Parliament is outwardly calm , there can be no doubt there is the greatest anxicl y in the minds of all classes , and events , as they happen , are watched most narrowly . Last Thursday , in the House of Lordsafter
, Lord Strathcdcn ancl Campbell had given notice that he . should , though in a slightly altered form , again brino- forward the motion he Lad , at the instance of the Foreio-n Secretary postponed , the Earl of Derby , in reply to Earl OraiiyiUc . stated that the Russians had undertaken not lo

occupy Gallipoli or the lines of Bulair , or tho Asiatic coast of the Dardanelles , provided we did not land troops on either coast of flic Strait . This engagement , the Foreign Secretary said , had given great satisfaction to the Government . He further stated that he did not know when the Conference
wonld bo held , but he thought it mig ht be towards the end of the first week of the current month . Tho Earl of Beaconsfield then , in a brief but forcible speech , moved the second reading of the Consolidated Fund ( £ 0 , 000 , 000 )
Bill , and the Exchequer Bonds and Bills ( £ 6 , 000 , 000 ) Bill . These were carried unanimously , and the House adjourned . On Friday , these Bills wero read a third time ancl passed , and the Territorial Waters Jurisdiction Bill , after a few
remarks from the Lord Chancellor ancl Lord Hatherley , received a second reading . On Monday , Lord Stratheden ancl Campbell brought forward the resolution of which ho had given notice , to tho effect that the Government should do its utmost to discourage encroachments on the treaties
of 185 G ancl 1871 , and was supported by the Earl of Danraven ancl Lord Dorchester . Lord Derby , however , pointed out that the motion was too late , ancl that to have been of any service it should have been brought forward last year . He , therefore , moved the previous question , and was
supported in so doing by Viscount Card well , acting , during Earl Granville ' s temporary absence from the House , aa leader of the Opposition . Lord Houghton , however , supported the resolution . Lord Bury spoke briefly , and after a few words in reply from Lord Stratheden and Campbell ,
the previous question was carried without a division . On Tuesday , Earl De La Warr inquired of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs as to the proposed terms of peace between Russia and Turkey , but the latter said ho could give their lordships no authentic information .
In the House of Commons on Thursday last , after the Chancellor of the Exchequer had stated , in reply to the Marquis of Hartington , what arrangements had been agreed upon between England ancl Russia , as to Gallipoli and Bulair , and tlie Asiatic coast of tho Dardanelles , it was
proposed to go into Committee on the Factories and Workshops Bill , when Mr . Fawcett rose ancl moved , by way of amendment , that itshould be an instruction to the Committee that they havo power to regulate the hours of labour , and for securing the attendance at school of children employed in
agriculture . In the debate that followed , Messrs . Goldney , Mundella , and others took part , and Mr . Cross opposed the motion , which , on a division , was rejected by 208 to 93 . The House then went into Committee on the Bill , ancl got as far as the sixteenth clause , when progress was reported
ancl the House resumed . Tho Attorney-General then moved tho second reading of the Bar Education and Discipline Bill , Avhich after several attempts to adjourn the House , was agreed to . Nearly the whole of Friday ' s sitting was occupied in discussing Mr . Trevelyan ' s motion for
assimilating the Franchise in Counties to that now existing in cities and boroughs . Sir C . Dilke spoke in favour of it , ancl so did Mr . Laing ancl the Marquis of Hartington , while Mr . Lowe ancl Mr . Goschen from the Liberal , ancl the Chancellor of the Exchequer from tho Conservative , benches
opposed it . On a division , the motion was defeated by 271 to 219 votes , or a majority of 52 . On Monday , after tho Chancellor of the Exchequer had said , in reply to Mr . Forster , tliat the Government had no official knowledge of the terms of peace between Turkey and Russia , the House
went into Committee on the Factories ancl Workshops Bill , and worked away from clause 17 to clause 05 , when pregross was reported . The Attorney-General then obtained leave to bring in a Bankruptcy Law Amendment Bill , and it -was read a first time . On Tuesday , Mr . Hubbard brought
forward his motion on the Income Tax , but after a brief debate , withdrew it by leave of the House , which was almost immediately afterwards counted out , a motion on tho
Heralds' College , or College of Arms , not being sufficiently attractive . At Wednesday ' s sitting , in spite of the opposition of many Ministers , the second reading of the Colonial Marriages Bill was carried by a majority of 182 to 101 .
The Queen held a Council at Windsor Castle on Tuesdaylast , at which were present the Duke of Richmond and Gordon , the Earl of Beaconsfield , the Lord Chamberlain , tho Right Hon . R , A . Cross , and Colonel the Right Hon . T . E . Taylor , Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster .
Mr . Jas . Lowthor , M . P ., was 'introduced and sworn in as a member of the Privy Council on his appointment as Chief Secretary for Ireland . Mr . Lennox C . Peel was in attendance ns Chief of the Council . Tho Duko of Richmond aud Gordon and the Earl of Beacon ^ held afteiwaul a hud
