OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
ON Thursday last , iu tho House of Lords , the Earl of Beaconsfield moved an address of thanks in acknowledgment of Her Majesty's gracious message to Parliament respecting an increase to the Duke of Connaught ' s income on the occasion of his marriage with the Princess Louise Margaret of Germany . Coupled with the address was a
resolution promising on their Lordships' part , that they would concurs in the measures that might be proposed . Earl Granville supported the address , as did Lord Napier of Magdala , and it was carried unanimously . On Friday , Earl Granville adduced the testimony of Hobert Pacha in
support of his view of the capabilities of Batoum as a harbour , but the statement of the worthy Pacha bore out that of the Koyal Hydrographer , on which was based the view of the Prime Minister . After this a long and unprofitable debate followed on the Schouvaloff-Salisbury
Memorandum . The Earl of Kosebery initiated it , and Lords Salisbury , Carnarvon , Morley , Bath , and Granville took part in it , the last-mentioned , in the course of his speech , being rebuked by Lord Redesdale for speaking of the Prime Minister as the Earl of Beaconsfield ,
instead of a 8 the " noble Lord , " or " noble Earl . " But Lord Granville justified his doing so on the ground of the Premier ' s absence from the House . On Monday another
long debate took place on the Eastern settlement , on a motion by Lord Stratheden and Campbell , for any further diplomatic correspondence which might have taken place since the cessation of hostilities . Earl Granville was the
next speaker , and took the opportunity of referring to some remarks of the Earl of Beaconsfield ' s , offered in an afterdinner speech on Saturday , Avhen the latter justified the statement he had made . Lord Napier and Ettrick , the Marquises
of Ripon and Salisbury , and Viscounts Cardwell and Cranbrook , likewise spoke , after which the motion was withdrawn . On Tuesday a motion of Lord Truro , on tho subject of the Metropolitan Police , was negatived after a short debate .
In the House of Commons a motion was made on Thursday last that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means for the purpose of considering the Queen ' s Message above referred to . This was met by an amendment proposed by Sir Charles Dilke , that the consideration of the Message should be deferred till certain
returns for which he called had been made . The amendment was defeated by 320 to So , whereupon the House went into Committee and agreed to certain resolutions by which the Duke of Conuaught will receive £ 25 , 000 a year on the occasion of his marriage .
