Our Weekly Budget.
Commissioners and the Russian authorities in Eastern Roumelia , whereby the financial administration is to be handed over to the former , while the civil administration remains in Russian hands . The insurrection in Macedonia has not abated , and , although official declarations have
repudiated responsibility on the part of the Russian authorities , it is asserted that the insurgents are well supplied with arms , and the Bulgarian newspapers published under Russian censorship strongly invito the inhabitants of Eastern Roumelia to resist the decision of the Berlin
Congress . The feeling in the Hungarian Parliament is strongly adverse to the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina , but it is not believed that Count Andrassy ' s position will be imperilled . The Paris Exhibition was finally closed on Sunday . Among the last gatherings which have taken
place in connection with it , was one of Colonial gentlemen , who presented to Sir P . Cunlift ' e Owen an epergne in acknowledgment of the assistance he had rendered . Since the opening on the 1 st of May , upwards of sixteen million persons have visited the Exhibition .
The German Emperor , in reply to an address at Wiesbaden , expressed a hope that other States would follow the example of Germany in endeavouring to check the advance of Socialism . The Belgian Chambers were opened on Tuesday . The King in his speech referred to the
satisfactory condition of the national industry ; but intimated that the increased expenditure of the State would render necessary some additional taxation . The Criminal Court at Madrid has sentenced to death Moncasi , who lately attempted to shoot the King . The reply of Lord Salisbury
to the United States Foreign Secretary , in relation to the Fisheries disputes , has been received at Washington , and it is believed that a satisfactory agreement will be effected . A small British force in the Transvaal was driven back by a great number of natives , but the English completely routed them in a subsequent attack they made .
We have received the early numbers of the Masonic Newspaper , a new candidate for favour with our American brethren . As it is published in New York , the membership of whose Grand Lodge includes some eighty thousand Craftsmen , it wil address itself to a numerous , as well as a
highly influential , constituency , and though it is not m the power of man to command success , there ought to be Hfctla difficulty experienced in establishing the venture on a sure basis . At all events , the Masonic Neivspaper is doing what in it lies to achieve success . It is well written and carefully
edited , while its budget of news is highly interesting , and we can assure its proprietors and all interested in its welfare that it has our heartiest and most fraternal good wishes
for its prosperity . May its career be a long as well as a prosperous one , and may it fulfil its role of exciting in the minds of our New York brethren an ever-increasing love for the Craft and its literature !
Wo have received a specimen of Masonic paper , specially manufactured for the Craft at the Mailing Mills , Kent , and formally approved and sanctioned by our late Grand Master the Earl of Zetland . It is of excellent quality and possesses what , in our eyes , is a most important
recommendation . That is , there is no showy display of Masonic emblems . Indeed , but for a most unpretentious " Square and Compass " in the left hand top corner , where usually stands the ordinary embossed stamp , there is nothing to show that it is tVe Masonic Paper it claims to be . But if a
sheet is held up to the light , the water mark , in the shape of a five pointed star , a square and compass , the Bible , the double triangle , and " Masonic Paper , Mailing Mills " will
be seen . This paper is sold by Messrs . S . D . Ewins & Co ., Paternoster-row , and we are sure those who purchase it will be delighted with its appearance and quality . It has the further advantage of being inexpensive .
At the next half-yearly Communication of Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons , which will he h » Id at Freemasons' Tavern on the 3 rd December , under the presidency of the Grand Master of the degree , Lord Skelmersd » le , a scheme will be proposed for the pnrposo of educating the sons of Mark Masons . Without t'oirig inio th" details of tho scheme , which of course will reqtvre deliberation , we may mention that its hrond basi ? is that half of t > e annual subscriptions t >
the Fund ofBeievolencesh . il bo applicable towards aiding Mark Masters in educating their sons in their own neighbourhoods . The scheme is not meant for indigent nr necessitous Mark Masons only , or primarily , but is designed as well for those Mark orethren who , though able to edncate their families , aro not sufficiently well to do to secure for M'Pni the superior education that is offered by many of the ol < i prrlnmil- and foundation schools iu their particular provinces . —

felt . However , the genial brethren of Liverpool are not disposed to allow any disappointment to interfere with the success of any enterprise they take in hand , and especially when that event is a Masonic celebration . Consequently , long before the hour appointed , four p . m ., thero were gathered at tho Hall over one hundred Masons We noticed among those present Bros . E .
