OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Queen and Princess Beatrice attended Divine Service on Sunday in Crathie Church , Balmoral . Prince Leopold left London on Friday , and has proceeded to Germany The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the Minister in attendance upon the Queen .

Princess Alice steamer has been continued , and conflicting evidence has been given respecting the sobriety of some of the crew of the Bywell Castle on the occasion of the collision . The total number of bodies that have been

recovered is 590 , but some 50 persons are still reported to be missing . The Mansion House Relief Fund has been closed , t , he committee being of opinion that the amount already subscribed ( upwards of £ 35 , 000 ) will be sufficient to meet all requirements .

progress in other directions arc also given . In Europe the settlement of the Eastern Question does not proceed in the peaceful manner that was expected . The Austrian troops have virtually obtained possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina , although there are still considerable bodies of
