OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
PROBABLY few large assemblies get through more real -work than our House of Commons , when , at last , it has a mind to do so . The amount that has been accomplished during the past two or three weeks is marvellous , and especially is this the case since our last issue . The Elementary Education Bill has passed its third reading in
the Commons , and possibly when these lines appear will have reached the final stage in the House of Lords . Then a mass of estimates has been submitted and passed . The Suez Canal discussion is over , the Lords' amendments to various Bills have been examined , and the last scene of all
this strange eventful history—the passage through Parliament of the Appropriation Act—is well nigh completed . Thus , next week Her Majesty will be expressing her thanks to "My Lords and Gentlemen" for their assiduous attention to the duties of Parliament during a more than usually
protracted Session . We are aware that much , valuable time was lost in talk over the Royal Titles Bill , but some excellent measures havo become law this week , among them being the Merchant Shipping Bill , the Appellate Jurisdiction , and the Elementary Education Bills . These
are by themselves enough to make the Session of 1876 a memorable one in the Parliamentary history of this reign . The time-honoured Ministerial "Whitebait Dinner was held , as usual , at the Ship , at Greenwich , on Wednesday , several members of the party going by water , while the Premier drove down .
The Court is still at Osborne . Several members of the Royal Family have taken flight from London , the Duke of Cambridge , the Prince and Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein , and Princess Louise , Marchioness of Lome , with her husband , being of the number .
Chester Cathedral was reopened for divine service on Wednesday , the work of restoration , which had been sedulously carried on for some eight years , having been at length completed . The cost of the alterations exceeds £ 80 , 000 .
Sir Gilbert Scott was the architect , and among those who contributed privately must be mentioned our brethren of the provinces of Cheshire and Lancashire , the former presenting an elaborately carved oak prilpit , and the latter a sedilia for the choir .
Bank holiday on Monday was celebrated with the usual gaiety , the weather being very favourable for out-door recreation . Both at the Alexandra and Crystal Palaces the directors made every effort to attract the public . There were military bands engaged at each , as well
as special concerts , grand displays of fireworks , with the other et ceteras proper to such occasions . The attendance in each case was very large , but in each the resources of the management were found equal to the tax made upon them . At Lillie Bridge , too , Leon , the
Mustang rider , exhibited his wonderful powers of endurance , and here , likewise , were fireworks and other attractions innumerable for the public . With such glorious weather the railways must have found it a hard task to convey the multitudes which thronged all the metropolitan termini , on
pleasure bent , and meaning to have their pleasure at all risks . We are seldom inclined to be over-cynical , but it has more than once struck us that half-a-dozen hours in a stuffy railway carriage , with liquor ad libitum by tho way , half-a-dozen hours spent in wandering , ifc may be ,
by the sad sea waves , in the classic grounds of Rosherville or North Woolwich , or elsewhere , to say nothing of the preliminary helter-skelter and the weary return home , scarcely realise a good ideal of pleasure . Just , however ,
as the man of wrath , when engaged in battle , is said to feel no pain from the blows he receives , so we presume the enthusiastic excursionist takes no thought of the pushing , driving , aud wrangling he endures . One piece of advice , as old as Horace , he is always ready to follow : —•
