OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

IN the House of Lords on Friday , after a brief discussion relative to the production of certain documents received some time since by the Secretary of State for India , their Lordships "went into Committee on the University of Oxford Bill , but not till the Duke of Devonshire

and other Noble Lords had expressed opinions on matters more or less directly associated with the aim and purpose of the measure . An amendment to clause 14 , proposed by Earl Granville , to the effect , that when proper provision had been made for religious instruction and worship , all

emoluments or offices should be conferred according to present merit and fitness , without any religious tests , was defeated by 55 to 44 . On the motion of the Duke of Somerset , progress was then resumed . On Monday , every part of the House was crowded , as Lord Shaftesbury was

to move a resolution on the motion to go into Committee on tho Eoyal Titles Bill , to the effect that an humble address be presented to Her Majesty praying her to assume a title more in accordance with the feelings of the nation than thafc of Empress of India . The debate which followed

was long and interesting , the Lord Chancellor , Lords Selborne , Midleton and Sandhurst , and the Earls of Feversham and Harrow b y taking part in it . On a division , the Earl of Shaftesbury ' s motion was lost by 137 to 91 . On Tuesday , the second reading of the Irish Peerage Bill was moved by

Lord Inchiquin , and agreed to . On Thursday , the second reading of the Supreme Court of Judicature ( Ireland ) Bill was agreed to . Their Lordships then went into Committee on the University of Oxford Bill , and on clauses 1 G to 45 being passed , the Chairman was ordered to report the Bill .

When the usual -array of questions had been disposed of on Friday , the House of Commons settled down to listen to the debate on Sir T . Chambers ' s motion respecting Monastic and Conventual Institutions , the purpose of the honourable and learned gentleman being to obtain a

parliamentary inquiry into the number , character , relation to law , & c , & c . Mr . Shaw moved the rejection of the motion , which received support from Sir . J . Kennaway , Mr . Newdeg ' ate , and others , while Mr . O'Reilly , Dr . O'Leary , Mr . Sullivan , & c , & c . opposed . Lord J . Manners

suggested the withdrawal of the motion , but this was net acceded to , and , a division following , Sir T . Chambers lost the day by 127 by 87 . Certain amendments to the Mutiny > , and Marine Mutiny Bills were agreed to ; the Cattle Diseases ( Ireland ) Bill passed through Committee .

The Committee of inquiry on the Metropolitan Fire Brigade was nominated , and the Chancellor of Exchequer announced that the Khedive had sent a telegram requesting that Mr . Cave ' s Report on the Financial condition of Egypt be at once and without reservation presented to Parliament . The

House cheered this announcement and then adjourned . On Monday , after some preliminary business , the House went into Committee of Ways and Menus , and tiie Chancellor of the Exchequer delivered his Budget speech , the main points iu which -were these : The Estimated Revenue

for the past year was greatly exceeded . The estimated expenditure for the current year would show a considerable increase , owing to the necessity for increased expenditure in connection with the Army , Navy , and Civil Service , and this increase would not be met by a corresponding increase

of Revenue . Therefore , the Chancellor proposed to charge an increased penny for the Income Tax , at the same time relieving . 'ill those persons the smallness of whose incomes entitled them to consideration . Thus all incomes under £ 150 , instead of £ 100 , were to be exempt , while instead of

granting relief to the extent of £ 30 on incomes ranging from £ 100 to £ 300 , there would be no charge on £ 120 in tho case of incomes ranging from £ 150 to 140 . Mr . Dodson , Mr . Hubbard , and other members having addressed the Committee , progress was reported , and the House resumed , but only to go into Committee on the

Merchant Shipping Bill . Sundry amendments to clause 5 were proposed , some being rejected , while others were acceded to . When the 6 th clause was reached , progress was reported . On Monday Mr . Sullivan moved a resolution on the subject of Irish Whisky , but was defeated .

A motion by Sir J . Kennaway , about the East African Slave Trade , was agreed to , after a pretty long discussion . A resolution by Sir J . McKenna , that the general state of Ireland did not justify the retention of the powers conferred on Government under the Peace Preservation

( Ireland ) Act was ultimately withdrawn . On Wednesday the debate on the second reading of Mr . Dixon ' s Elementary Education Act ( 1870 ) Amendment Bill occupied well nigh the whole of the sitting . Mr . Sandford moved that it be rejected . Mr . Bright supported bis colleague for

Birmingham , and Viscount Sandon opposed on behalf of the Goverment . On a division , the Bill was rejected by 281 to 160 . On Thursday , after a preliminary skirmish or two , the House went into Committee on Ways and Means . Mr . Hubbard's motion on the Income Tax was

defeated by 156 to 84 . Mr . C . Lewis then moved a resolution , that the Income Tax bo retained at twopence , but it was rejected . The Budget resolutions were then agreed to and reported . The House then went into Committee on the Merchant Shipping Bill , and having reached clause 14 resumed .

Tho Queen , during her brief stay in Germany , has been staying at the Villa Hohenlohe , Baden Baden , the residence of her deceased half sister . On Wednesday she paid a visit to the Princo and Princess ( H . R . H . Princess Alice ) Louis of Hesse , at Darmstadt . The Emperor

William ' s journey to see Her Majesty has been postponed in consequence of a severe cold , and if this continues , there is a chance it may not take place at all . The Queen ' s return to England is fixed for an early day . Our last intelligence respecting the movements of the

Prince of Wales left him at Cairo , where he was being most cordially entertained by the Khedive . Since then he has taken farewell of the Egyptian capital . HavingleftAlexandria ho- has at length reached Malta , where preparations were being carried out on the grandest scale possible . The

Maltese have evidently determined to do him honour , and will succeed in making the day of his visit a dies fastus in the annals of their island . From Malta the Prince will sail for Gibraltar , and it is expected his visit to this key to the Mediterranean will last some days . Here ,

too , he will meet with the first member of our Royal Family since he quitted these shores in October last , his brother , the Duke of Connaught , holding an appointment on the staff of the officer commanding the garrison . From
