Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE labours of the House of Lords have not seriously taxed their Lordships' energies during the past few days . A personal explanation between Lords Carnarvon and Beaconstield , the reception of a message from the Queen , thanking them for their recent loyal address on the subject of the . Duke of Connau ^ ht ' s income , and the

passage through one or other of the necessary stages of certain measures , like the Highways Bill , which had been sent up from the Commons , occupying about an hour and a half on Thursday last . Half an hour sufficed for the transaction of Friday ' s business , and on Monday the sitting was

not of much longer duration . On Tuesday , alter sundry measures had been advanced , a discussion arose on the . Reserve Forces , apropos of a question put to the Government by the Earl of Camperdown , who was desirous of

learning how many of the reserves who had been called out , and since dismissed to their homes , had lost their civil employment . Lord . Napier of Magdala , Viscount Bury , the Duke of Cambridge , and others took part in the debate .

In the House of Commons the great Eastern Debate was continued on Thursday and Friday last . On the formerday Mr . Lowe opened the battle by making a tremendous and somewhat malicious attack on the C / overnment , but Lord John Manners , who followed the right honourable

gentleman , was fully equal to the occasion , and defended Ministers in a speech ot great dignity and sound argument . On Friday , the principal speakers were Lord Elcno , AVIIO gave an independent support to the Government . Mr . W . E . Forster , who opposed them , Mr . Roebuck , who also

supported Ministers , and Sir W . Harcourt who spoke against them . The one remaining speech worthy of notice was that of Sir Stafford Northcote , who summed up the case of Ministers with great calmness and lucidity . On the division being taken , it was found that 195 supported the

resolution of Lord Hartington , while oSb opposed it , so that the majority ^ for the Government was 14 o , or more considerable than ifc has ever been previously . On Monday the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave somo indication of tho procedure of public business during the rest of the Session .

in Committee the House made further progress with tho Estimates . On Tuesday , the House resolved itself into Committee of Ways and Means , when the Chancellor of tho Exchequer moved that a sum of two millions be granted

towards the deficit caused by the additional expenditure which had been incurred over and above that which tlio House had sanctioned in the Budget . A long and desultory debate followed , in the course of which the Ministerial policy , both financial and otherwise , was assailed by Messrs ,
