Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE only subject to which the House of Lords devoted its attention on Friday , was one introduced hy the Earl of Shaftesbury relative to Cotton Factory Labour in Bombay . To this the Marquis of Salisbury gave a satisfactory reply , and the subject then dropped . On Monday , the sitting was still shorter , but certain bills of importance

were advanced , notably the Conspiracy and Protection of Property Bill , and the Employers and Workmen ' s Bill . On Tuesday , the sitting was equally short , but a considerable amount of business was done . The questions to which attention was drawn were the state of affairs on the West

Coast of Africa , by the Eari of Carnarvon , and Unseaworthy Ships , by Earl Russell . There was also a short discussion on the Importation of Coolies , after which the House rose . On Thursday , the Conspiracy and

Protection of Property Bill , with a new clause inserted , at the instance of the Lord Chancellor , and the Employers and Workmen's Bill were read a third time , and passed . The Militia Laws Consolidated Bill passed through Committee , and other measures were advanced a stage .

On Friday , in the House of Commons , a long debate ensued on the new Bill on TJnseaworthy Ships , introduced by the Government . Among the speakers were Mr . Bates and Mr . Plimsoll , as well as the Chancellor of the Exchequer . The second reading was earned . At the evening

sittin g , a debate ensued on various subjects , after which the House went into Committee of Supply , and rose at two o ' clock . There was an early sitting on Saturday , as the recess is advancing . The important business was again Supply , after which the case of Plimsoll and Bates

was again discussed . A long and wordy warfare was the result , and after settling this the House rose at eight o ' clock . On Monday , the new Bill of the Government on Unseaworthy Ships occupied the attention of the House in Committee . Sundry amendments were proposed , but the

most important met with little favour in the House . After this there was an adjournment . On Tuesday , the subject of the Navy Estimates was discussed , and the various sums asked for were voted . On Wednesday , a long discussion , in which Messrs . Dodson and Gladstone took an important

part , ensued on Supply , but what was required for the public service was voted , and , on the whole , we think the Government had the best of the fight . On Thursday , a considerable period of time was wasted , notably by Dr . Kenealywho brought under notice the recent trial of

, Colonel Baker , and the sentence passed by Judge Brett . Then certain resolutions in Committee of Supply wero agreed to , the Report on Ways and Means was brought up ,

aud Mr . Smith introduced the Appropriation Act , which was read a first time immediately afterwards . On the Report on Unseaworthy Ships Bill , certain clauses were added at the instance of the Government , and the third

reading will have been passed before these pages meet the eye of our readers . The same was done Avith the Agricultural Holdings Bill , and this , too , will have left the Commons before to-day . The great event of the week has been the extension , by

the Lord Mayor , of the usual civic hospitality , to the Ministers , towards the end of the Session . The Premier was present in person , as were also all the most important members of the Cabinet . The Civic Ruler offered his

congratulations . on the progress of public business , and Mr . Disraeli replied in his happiest vein , descanting at some length on what his Ministry had done , aud the general prosperity of the country , It is needless to add that his
