OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
THE House of Lords did not sit on Thursday last , nor did its session the day following occupy half an hour , as a question about the loss of the German ironclad Grosser Kurfurst , which was answered by Lord Elphinstone , and one by Lord Granville , whether the Government had taken any steps towards recognising the political services of the
late Earl Russell , to which the Premier gave a reply in the affirmative , together with the second reading of the Telegraphs Bill , were the only matters which deserve notice . On Monday , the Marquis of Salisbury had the satisfaction of being able to announce that the Government had that
day received an invitation from Count Munster , the German Ambassador , in which , in the name of the Emperor "William , he invited England to a Congress at Berlin for the purpose of discussing with the other signatory Powers to the treaties of 1856 and 1871 , the stipulations of the
preliminary Treaty of San Stefano between Russia and Turkey . His Lordship stated , that in reply he had accepted the invitation on the part of the Cabinet on the understanding that the invitation to the other signatories had been couched in the same terms , and that in accepting
lfc they were prepared to assent to the terms stated in his Excellency ' s note . This announcement was received with cheers , and Earl Granville congratulated the Government on the success thus far of their policy ; but on the question whether the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister were
to be Her Majesty ' s representatives to the Congress being answered in the affirmative , the noble Earl expressed some dissatisfaction with the appointments which , he said , were without precedent , and because it was unnecessary and likewise very undesirable that the two principal members of the
Ministry should be absent together , especially if questions should arise on which it might be found expedient to consult the rest of the Cabinet . The Earl of Beaconsfield f nlly admitted that the case was unprecedented , but he said it was necessaiy at times to create precedents , and he further
argued that so far from the absence of the two ministers named lessening the importance of the other members of the Cabinet , it would give them greater prominence than ever .
The noble Earl concluded by saying that the appointments had been deemed the best that could be made , and pointed out that the Government were folly sensible of the responsibility fchey incurred aud were prepared to meet it , The
Our Weekly Budget.
conversation was continued a little longer , after which , in reply to Earl Granville , the Marquis of Salisbury said that the condition of the Emperor William , whose life had been attempted the clay previous was satisfactory , and he expressed a hope that His Imperial Majesty would speedily
be restored to perfect health . A question about the raising of the Eurydice having been answered their Lordships shortly afterwards adjourned . On Tuesday , the Eurydice was the subject of a further question , after which the House went into Committee on the Public Health Act
( 1875 ) Amendment Bill , the several clauses of which were , after some discussion , agreed to , and the Bill was ordered to be reported . The House of Commons had a very protracted sitting on Thursday , and an unseemly squabble for some time
prevented the House from resolving itself into Committee of Supply on the Civil Service Estimates , but when it did so a considerable number of votes was agreed to , but in some cases not without a division . On resuming , the Consolidated Fund ( No . o ) and the Exchequer Bonds ( No . 2 )
Bill passed through Committee , and the House went into Committee on the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors on Sunday ( Ireland ) Bill , and after a long and desultory and sometimes heated conversation , its opponents agreed to its passing through Committee on the understanding that the
discussion on the remaining new clauses should be taken on the report . On Friday , after the usual questions had been disposed of , the 0 'Conor Don rose to call attention to the subject of Irish University Education , and to move a resolution declaring its condition to be unsatisfactory and in need of the immediate attention of Parliament .
Mr . Lowe followed with a speech , and then the discussion was interrupted by Sir G . Bowyer rising to order , and having stated that Mr . Wykeham Martin was at the moment lying dead in the library of the House , he moved that they should at once adjourn . Other members ,
including the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Marquis of Hartington , having expressed their deep regret at the death of the hon . member , and also their acquiescence in the motion , the House rose at ten minutes to six . On Monday , Mr . Hanbury gave notice of his intention to
bring under the notice of the House certain language contained in an article in the Nineteenth Century on the employment of Indian troops , which purports to have been written by a Privy Councillor of Her Majesty and a former First Lord of the Treasury ( Mr . Gladstone ) , and to move
a resolution declaring such language is to be condemned as inopportune and calculated to promote sedition in Her Majesty ' s Indian Empire . After the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made a similar announcement about the Congress to that made in the House of Lords by the
Marquis of Salisbury , and when the telegrams as to the condition of the Emperor of Germany ' s health had been read by Mr . Bourke , and when the Chancellor of the Exchequer had explained what the Government had clone in order to show clue respect to the late Earl Russell , the
adjourned debate on the 0 'Conor Don ' s motion on Irish University education was resumed , but , on a division , it was lost by 200 to ( 57 . The Report on Supply was then brought up and agreed to , and the rest of the business having been disposed of , the House rose . At the morning
sitting on Tuesday Mr . Chaplin ' s motion , that the House at its rising should stand adjourned over Wednesday , the Derby day , till Thursday , was agreed to by 225 to 95 . The House then went into Committee on the Roads and Bridges ( Scotland ) Bill , resuming at Clause 12 and
agreeing to clauses up to 23 inclusive , when , by the rules of the House , the debate on Clause 24 was adjourned . On resuming at nine o ' clock , a motion by Lord li . Churchill on the Endowed Schools of Ireland was discussed , and in the end withdrawn on the understanding
that the Government would give the subject their consideration . Shortly after this the House was counted out . The Queen received with the profoundesfc grief the sad intelligence of a second and almost successful attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Germany . On the arrival of
the news their Imperial Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany , who were on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury , at Hatfield , left immediately for London , and started from the Charing Cross Station
en route for Berlin . The Prince and Princess of Wales , the Prince and Princess Christian , the Princess Louise , and the Duke of Connaught were at the station to take leave of their Imperial Highnesses . Their Imperial Hig h , uesses' children left on Saturday afternoon for Eastbourne ,
