OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Queen and Princess Beatrice are still at Balmoral , in the neighbourhood of Avhich they have been making frequent excursions . At Sandringham , the Prince and Princess of Wales have been entertaining- a succession of guests , among them being the Prince of Orange and Princess Louis of Hesse , Avho took their leave on

Saturday ; tho Earl of Beaconsficlcl , who returned to town on Monday ; the Duke and Duchess of Manchester , the Dake and Duchess of Westminster , the Marquis of Hartington , and the Earl and Countess of Granville . On Friday night their Royal Highuesses gave a ball in connection Avith the

Prince ' s birthday , and on Monday they drove to tho meet of the West Norfolk hounds . On Monday , the Prince left Sandringham for Morton , the seat of Lord Walsingham , on a short visit . On tho 20 th inst ., his Royal Highness will visit Norwich , for the purpose of installing Bro . Lord Suffield as Provincial Grand Master for Norfolk . At the conclusion of

the ceremony he will accompany his lordship to his seat at Gtmton Park . All tho needful preparations have been made at Norwich for the reception of the Prince , and Ave doubt not the occasion will be a great success . Bristol is in the habit of celebrating at this season of the

year the anniversary of the great philanthropist , Colston , when the opportunity is taken for a great political demonstration by the rival political parties . At the Conservative banquet held on Monday evening , in honour of the occasion , Sir Stafford Northcote Avas the hero , and delivered a long

and elaborate speech on the present political crisis . Mr . LoAve was present at the Liberal gathering held the same evening , and likeAvise delivered a long speech , in which he criticised the acts of Her Majesty ' s Government Avith a considerable amount of freedom . The ono other

Parliamentary utterance of the Avcek that is noteworthy has been that of Lord George Hamilton , who very naturally defended the conduct o ¥ the Ministry of Avhich he is a subordinate member . Following closely on her Majesty ' s congratulatory letter

to Captain Nares and the officers and crews of the Arctic Expedition comes an Admiralty Minute , Avhich speaks in terms equally eulogistic of the services rendered to geographical science by the gallant members of the Expedition . The Minnie very properly lays great stress on the arduous

nature of the enterprise , and of the magnificent zeal and endurance shown by all , under circumstances the most trying . Nor has the Admiralty confined itself to this mere expression of thanks . The Minute includes a list of officers , each of Avhom is promoted to a higher step in rank , and a second list of those Arhoso services are directed to be
