THE Prisons Bill was read a second time on Thursday last , at the instance of Earl Beauchamp , the Earl of Kimberley being the only other peer who addressed the house on the subject . On Friday , the House rose after a brief sitting , in the course of which a question was asked
by Lord Stanley of Alderley as to Colonel Wellesley ' s presence with the Eussian army on the Danube , and the Game Laws ( Scotland ) Bill was read a third time . Nothing worth recording- was done on Monday , bnt on
Tuesday the Marquis of Salisbury moved the second reading of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Bill . Lord Carlingford and the Duke of Devonshire took part in the debate which followed . The Earl of Harrowbv
then put a question on behalf of Lord Stratford de Redchffe , relative to the boundary line between Turkey and Persia , to which the Earl of Derby gave a full and sufficient answer .
In the House of Commons a variety of subjects were discussed on Thursday last , among them being the Colorado Beetle and the Fuller Case , the latter being brought under the notice of the House bv Mr . Lnwn Snh .
eequently a number of the Civil Service Estimates were Toted in Committee of Supply , and the House rose shortly after half-past one o ' clock . On Friday , Mr . Trevelyan moved a brace of resolutions , relating to the County Fran-
Our Weekly Budget
chise . These were opposed by the Government , but sap
ported by the Opposition ; Mr . Goschen being a prominent exception . On a division being taken , Mr . Trevelyan was defeated by 276 to 220 . On Monday , after a variety of questions had been asked on subjects connected with the Army , the House went into Committee on the Army
Estimates . Several items were agreed to , but when the vote of £ 132 , 000 by the Army Reserve and Pensioners was proposed , an amendment to report progress was moved and defeated by 128 to 8 . Mr . O'Donnell then moved that the Chairman leave the chair , but was beaten
by 127 to 6 . This disgraceful obstruction to public business , however , continued till a quarter past seven in the morning , when the House was counted out . No less than seventeen divisions , varied occasionally with an unsuccessful attempt at a count out , took place , the seven members
who thus disgraced themselves being Captain Nolan , Mr O'Donnell , Major O'Gorman , Mr . Richard Power ( Water ford ) , Mr . Parnell , Mr . O'Connor Power , and Mr . Whalley
It is evident that the rules of the House , which were framed for the government of a body of gentlemen , must be altered so as to effectually prevent the repetition of such scenes . No less than seven hours and a half of valuable
public time were thus wasted , and when the few remaining members were permitted to disperse , the House had sat for over fifteen hours . On Tuesday , the debate on the Irish Sunday Closing Bill was resumed , and occupied the greater part of the morning sitting . In the evening , a
resolution , moved by Earl Percy , on Vaccination , was debated at some length , and ultimately defeated by 106 to 56 . A resolution of Mr . Whalley ' s , on the subject of the
Confessional , emptied the House at half past twelve . On Wednesday , a motion to read the Union Justices ( Ireland ) Bill was defeated by 178 to 36 , but the Divine Worshi p Facilities' Bill escaped a similar fate by 94 to 78 .
The Queen has been entertaining a succession of visitors at Windsor Castle , and has also paid a flying visit to London , where she called on the Duchess of Cambridge at St . James ' s Palace , and the Emperor and Empress of
Brazil at Claridge ' s Hotel . On Saturday , the Princess Louise , accompanied by the Marquis of Lome and the Marquis of Abergavenny , laid the foundation stone of a new Friendly Society ' s Hall at Tonbridge Wells . The escort consisted of a detachment of the West Kent
Yeomanry Cavalry , under the command of Captain Lord George Pratt , and there was a guard of honour of the 17 th Kent Rifle Volunteers under Captain Stanley Williams drawn up to receive Her Royal Highness at the place where the ceremony was held .
On Thursday last General Grant paid a visit to Liverpool , and was entertained at a banquet in the Town Hall . The Mayor of Liverpool presided , as the host About
two hundred guests were present , among whom were Generals Fairchild and Badeau , of the United States army . Lieutenant General Sir Henry de Bathe , and Mr . J . Torr , one of the members of Parliament for the town . General
Grant returned to town the day following . On Tuesday , the ex-President was the guest of the United Service Club . The Duke of Cambridge presided , and was supported on his right by General Grant and Lord Hampton , and on his left by the United States Minister aud Lord Strathnairn .
The health of the visitor was proposed by his Royal Highness , and drunk with great enthusiasm . The same day a deputation from the Trade Societies waited upon the
General , for the purpose of presenting him with an address . He thanked those present for the honour they had done him , which he appreciated as highly as any he had received during his visit .
The show of sporting and other dogs which has taken place annually for several years , under the auspices of the Kennel Clnb , has been held this year at the Agricultural Hall , Islington . There were about 1 , 100 , while the merit of the exhibits was equal , if not superior to any previous
show . There were no less than 122 classes , comprising almost eveiy variety of the canine species—St . Bernards , bloodhounds , bull-dogs , colleys , fox terriers , dachshunds ,
and Yorkshire tenners , Blenheims , King Charles ' s and Maltese , & c . & o . The prizes distributed amounted in money value to about £ 1 , 100 . The show closed yesterday .
Of the three annual cricket-matches between gentlemen aud players , two have already been played , and the third is in progress . Tbe first , which was played afc the Oval , ended in a draw , the Players having made 405 and 119
ia their two innings , and the Gentlemen 427 in their one
