Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

ON Saturday , the Prince of Wales , who had been on a visit to the Duke of Grafton , at Euston , Suffolk , returned to town . On Monday , accompanied by Prince Louis of Hesse and Prince John of Glucksbnrg , His Royal Highness visited Windsor , and having had a morning ' s shooting in the Great Park , lunched with the Prince and

Princess Christian , at Cumberland Lodge , and then returned to town . The visit was repeated on Wednesday . The Prince and Princess will be at Sandringham perhaps ere these lines reach the eyes of our readers , and will be there joined by the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse , on a short visit . H . R . H . the Duke of Cambridge will hold a levee at the

Horse Guards on Wednesday next , the number of officers being limited to one hundred and fifty . Preparations are being made by onr Norwich brethren for the approaching installation by His Royal Hig hness the Grand Master of

Bro . Lord Snffield , the successor of the late Bro . Walpole in the Provincial Grand Mastership of Norfolk , a Provincial Grand Lodge of Emergency having been held on Saturday for that purpose . A number of distinguished brethren are expected to be present on the occasion .

Hardly a clay passes without one or more meetings being held in connection with the Eastern question . On Saturday a great demonstration was made at Manchester , when it is estimated over 80 , 000 persons were present . Mr . Hugh Birley , Conservative member for that city , presided ,

and among those on the platform were several members of Parliament and local influential persons . Resolutions in snpport of the Government were passed , amidst the greatest demonstrations of enthusiasm . So numerous , indeed , was tbe attendance , that a second meeting had to be held . On

Tuesday an address was presented , at Edinburgh , to Lord John Manners , H . M . Postmaster-General . His Lordship , in acknowledging it , made a long speech , defending the policy which the Government had pursued , and strongly condemning the attacks to which it had been subjected . The speech was very heartily applauded .

Preparations are being made for the formal installation into office of the new Lord Mayor , Alderman Sir Thomas White , on Thursday . No less than seven military bands will take part in the procession , which will include this year the men in armour , attended by their esquires , and

likewise , it is said , a number of elephants , as commemorating the Prince of Wales ' s visit to India . All the ministers , we believe , have accepted the invitation to be present at the

banquet at Guildhall , except the Duke of Richmond and Gordon , who is tho minister in attendance on Her Majesty at Balmoral . People are looking forward with more than the usual interest to hear what the Prime Minister will

say . The Lord Mayor elect was presented to the Lord Chancellor on Thursday , when the latter signified to Alderman White Her Majesty ' s approval of him as Chief Magistrate Elect of the City . A most nnlooked for event occurred ou Friday last ,

being neither more nor less than the return of the Alert , Captain Nares , which reached Valentia , Ireland , shortly after 1 p . m . that day . The Alert parted company with her companion , the Discovery , in the Atlantic , on the 19 th ult . The latter vessel reached Queenstown on Sunday

morning , and later the same day was joined hy the Alert , the two vessels having since arrived at Spithead . The Admiralty haye granted the crews three weeks' leave of
