Our Weekly Budget.
different class of entertainment . A grand Italian concert was given , and among the artistes were Madame Adelina Patti , Mdlle . Marimon and Mdlle . D'Angeri . The day being one of the few for which the admission fee ia fixed at half-a-crown , the audience it may be imagined were very
select . But still the attendance was worthy the occasion . Yesterday the Rose Show opened , and will be on view today likewise , so that the week just ended must be set down as one of the most eventful this season . On Monday will be held the Summer Pony and Polo Race Meeting .
At the Crystal Palace the latest additional attraction is Myers' Great American Hippodrome , and here , too , there has been a highly successful exhibition of Roses . On Tuesday a special programme will be provided in honour of the Pete of the National Temperance League .
To-day , Madame Titiens' Grand Morning Concert will be given at the Royal Albert Hall . Among the artistes will be Mesdames Christine Nilsson and Trebelli-Bettini , Signor Campanini , and M . Faure . To-day , too , is the last of the Floral Hall Concerts ; and next Saturday will see
the last performance this season at the Royal Italian Opera , Covent Garden . Her Majesty ' s , Drury Lane , will remain open a week longer , till Saturday , the 22 nd instant . And when these close , fashionable London will distribute itself in the country or on the Continent . Our watering-places
and our inland pleasure resorts will be filled with visitors , and every capital in Europe will have a strong contingent of English visitors . Many , no doubt , will find their way to the seat of war , and some perhaps may even get in the
way of the bullets and be shot for their pains . As we are not ambitious of becoming food for powder , we have resolved to give the Turks and Servians a very wide berth indeed .
As to foreign news , the one piece of intelligence about which there is no doubt , is that Servia and Montenegro have declared war against their Suzerain . The reports as to Servian and Turkish victories seem very untrustworthy . Each side claims to have gained the honours of the day in
the opening engagement , or it may be engagements , for there appears to have been fig hting going on in several places . The whole country is anxious as to what will come next , what will be the policy of the three Emperors , and especially of the Emperor of Russia , without whose
connivance it is pretty generally believed that Servia never could have dared to throw down the gauntlet to so powerful a neighbour . As far as we can make out , there is not the slightest shadow of a justification for this aggression of Servia in Turkey , and if the combatants are leit to settle
the dispute without foreign intervention , we believe Servia will bitterly repent the day she declared war . Turkey has a powerful fleet and a considerable army . In 1853 she held Russia at bay on the Danube , and . inflicted more than one serious defeat on the armies of Czar Nicholas .
We do not think the Serbs will succeed where Russia failed . Be this as it may , there is no question as to the excitement that prevails in every capital in Europe . In Vienna , in Paris , at Berlin , at St . Petersburg , in London , all classes of people are on the tip-toe of expectation to learn what
next will happen . No doubt every effort will be made to confine the struggle to its present limits , and we trust they may be successful . Should any other power intervene ,
there is no saying what may happen . It is , however , a comfort to feel that Lord Derby at the Foreign Office , and Sir Henry Elliott at Constantinople , are , to use a hackneyed expression , the right men in the right place .

Obituary .
We have to notice the death of Bro . Henry Moxon , who had held the office of Superintendent of the Telegraph department under the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bailway Company for about fourteen years . He was the inventor
of " Moxon s Treadle Bell , " and several other electrical patents . As a Mason , Bro . Moxon participated in the esteem of his brethren , for he possessed personal qualifications which secured for him warm attachment . He was
initiated m Lodge of Faith , No . 581 , Openshaw , near Manchester , on the 21 st June 1871 , was Junior Deacon 1872 , Senior Warden 1873 , and Worshipful Master 1874 . He was exalted in Rectitude Chapter in 1874 , S . E . 1875 , and J . 1876 . The deceased was very highly respected , he had
suffered for some time from bronchitis . To tbe last , Bro . Moxon continued to be a faithful and amiable Mason , practising that greatest of all Masonic virtues—Charity . His remains were removed from his residence , Ellesinere
Villas , Eccles , to their last residence place at Han »; irhey Cemetery , Manchester , on 23 rd June 1876 . Ifc will be a melancholy satisfaction to his family to witness the respect paid to his memory by those personally acquainted with him . Bro . Moxon died 20 th June 1876 , in the 39 th year of his age .
