OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

IN a few days the work of Parliament will be over , and Honourable Members will be scattered to the four

winds of heaven . But though the prorogation is a matter of days only , there seems to be no relaxation of bitterness in tlie Education contest . Even on Saturday , which is usually a dies non—the House met for the dispatch of business , and on Thursday a series of divisions took place

at one of the latest stages of the Bill . We do not think the Opposition should be pushed to this extremity . There is not the remotest prospect even of a chance victory over the well-marshalled forces of the Government , and the sooner the new Elementary Education Bill becomes law

the better . An invitation to tho Government by one of the Irish Members , supported by a strong force of his compatriots , to release the "Fenian prisoners , met with no sympathy with the House , notwithstanding the support of the Eight Honourable John Bright , Member for

Birminghame . The Debate on the Turkish Question was finished in both Houses in a single evening . There can hardly , indeed , be said to have been any opposition to the policy pursued by Ministers , who obtained the sympathy of nearly all classes of politicians . There was a certain

amount of criticism , but the opinion generally prevails that Mr . Disraeli and the Earl of Derby have upheld the dignity of their country , and that Russia has had a severe snubbing for its pains . The adjourned Debate on the Extra * dition Treaties has been brought to an end , the Lord

Chancellor having recovered sufficiently to be able to resume his speech . The Court is still at Osborne , and the Prince and Princess of Wales in London . The Duke of Cambridge has inspected the troops at Aldershott , and expressed his

satisfaction with their behaviour . In the City the Lord Mayor has been entertaining Ministers at the Mansion House . Neither the Prime Minister nor the Foreign Secretary was present , but the Marquis of Salisbury was a most efficient spokesman , and the remarks of Messrs . Hunt

and G . Hardy in responding for the Army and Navy were very well received . The time-honoured Ministerial whitebait dinner , will , we presume , be fixed shortly , and then our legislators , both Her Majesty ' s Ministers and Her

Majesty ' s Opposition , will betake themselves to the country and enjoy their well-earned holiday . We trust that foreign politics will prove no obstacle to their uninterrupted enjoyment of it .

The inquiry into the cause of the disaster on board of H . M . vessel " Thunderer" proceeds leisurely . It is , of course , gratifying to know that every endeavour is being

made to fathom the mystery , but we do not quite understand why the progress is so slow . Inquests have a greater effect on the public mind when they are held instantly .

The Rifle Volunteers have had their annual camp at Wimbledon , and now the Volunteer Artillerists are similarily engnged at Shoeburyness . This being an out of the way place , the general public appear to take but little interest in the proceedings . The skill of an individual

marksman can be appreciated , but average mortals are not quite as enthusiastic about the performances of a whole detachment . Nor is it so generally understood what constitutes excellence in gunnery . Thus the Artillery meeting at Shoeburyness , though equally important with that of the

N . R . A ., attracts far less attention . Good solid work , however , is done , and the camp is a model of discipline during its occupancy by our volunteer gunners .

Simultaneously with this , experiments have been made with the eighty-ton-infant . Heavier charges of powder are used at nearly every round , and the more are fired , the more satisfactory appears to be the result . This is highly gratifying , especially now , when there are wars and rumours of war in the East of Europe ,
