Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE labours of Parliament are ended at last . The Queen has recognised the services during the Session of her faithful Lords and Commons , thanked them , and commended them to their scarcely less arduous duties during the recess . And by this time , perhaps , the majority of noble lords and honourable members are well on towards

their third bag of grouse . But to summarise the Parliamentary history of the week . On Friday , Lord Oranmore and Browne put a question to the Duke of Richmond as to the precedence accorded , or supposed to have been accorded , to Cardinal Manning at the Prince of Wales ' s Garden

Party at Chiswick . The question was not a proper one to have been put , nevertheless it was answered courteously enough , of course , yet curtly withal . The fancied precedence to his Reverence of the Red Hat proved to have been all moonshine . A number of Bills were then read a

second time , sundry questions relating to the Indian Army asked and answered , and the Unseaworthy Ships Bill read a first time , after which the House rose . There was a short sitting on Saturday to get through some unopposed business . On Monday , a great deal of work was accomplished .

After disposing of sundry questions , the Duke of Richmond moved the second reading of the National School Teachers ( Ireland ) Bill . A number of Irish peers opposed the measure , the Earl of Donoughmore moving its rejection . Lord Carlingford , however , supported the Government , and

the Bill passed this stage by 88 contents to 17 non-contents . Then followed a long debate on the second reading of the Unseaworthy Ships Bill , moved by the Duke of Richmond , who , of course , took that opportunity of defending the withdrawal by the Ministry of their original and more

comprehensive measure . Lord Carlingford , on the other hand , criticised the action of the Ministers , ancl having glanced at the nature of the measure before the House , Lord Hampton addressed their Lordships , and the Duke of Somerset , the Lord Chancellor and Earl Granville having

said their say , more or less briefly , the second reading was agreed to . Other measures having been advanced , the Commons' Amendments to the Agricultural Holdings ( England ) Bill were agreed to , Earl Granville offering certain criticisms , the Duke of Richmond and the Marquis of

Salisbury meeting them . The Commons' Amendments to the Supreme Court of Judicature Act ( 1873 ) Amendment ( No . 2 ) Bill were also considered , and after sundry observations from Lord Selborne and the Lord Chancellor , agreed to with amendments . Other business , including the

first reading of the Consolidated Fund ( Appropriation ) Bill having been disposed of , their lordships adjourned . The House met on Tuesday , both in the morning and evening , the Unseaworthy Ships Bill passing through Committee , ancl the report of amendments being agreed to .

There was plenty of other business also transacted at these sittings . On Wednesday , a number of measures received the Royal assent by commission ; a number of others , including the Unseaworthy Ships Bill , were read a third time and passed ; and others , again , includingthe

Consolidated Fund ( Appropriation ) Bill , passed through Committee , nnd were reported . On Thursday , there was a brief sitting for the purpose of passing a number of bills through the final stage . It was also agreed not to insist on their fiinendments to tho Offences Against the Person Bill . Lord Oranmore and Browne then asked a question respecting
