OUR WEEKLY BUDGET
SOME progress with public business has been made during tbe past week in tbe House of Lords . On Friday last the Bankruptcy Bill passed through Committee . On Tuesday the South Africa Bill was reported , and a new clause added , on the motion of the Earl of
Carnarvon . There has been , of course , some desultory conversation on Eastern politics , and on Monday , a question , put by the Earl of Rosebery , relative to the Tripartite Treaty of 1856 , excited a brief , but somewhat warm debate , in which the Earl of Derby , tho Duke of Argyll , and Earl
Granville took part . The other events have been the withdrawal of the Railway Companies Bill , and the second reading of the Game Laws ( Scotland ) Amendment Bill . The House now stands adjourned for the Whitsun recess till the 4 th prox .
The great debate iu the House of Commons was resumed on Friday by Mr . Bourke , the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , and was continued by Sir R . Anstruther , Lord Elcho , Mr . Anderson , Mr . Newdegate , who for once severed himself from the Conservative party and voted
with Mr . Gladstone , Mr . Lefevre , Mr . Torke , Sir J . Lubbock , and others , among whom were Mr . Goschen and Dr . Kenealy . On Monday Mr . Waddy led off , and was followed by Mr . Bruce , Sir W . Harcourt , Sir T . Sinclair , Sir G . Bowyer , and others , the last speakers being the Marquia
of Hartington , as leader of the Opposition , and Sir Stafford Northcote as leader of the House . Mr . Gladstone having replied , Major O'Gorman intervened for a few minutes between the House and the division , but only for a few minutes , when the House divided , and the tellers announced
the result as being in favour of Ministers by an overwhelming majority . The numbers were for Mr . Gladstone ' s first Resolution 223 , and against it 354 . If we take into account the Speaker , the four tellers , the ten pairs , and the members who , like Mr . Hubbard , Mr . Butt , and some
others abstained from voting , we may calculate that quite 010 members ont of a total of 658 gave a formal indication of their views for or against Ministers , or as observing a strict neutrality between the two parties . Thus ended what will , in all probability , turn ont to be the chief
debate of the Session . Calling to mind former debates in the Commons—as , for instance , the debate on the policy of Lord Palmeraton in connection with the Don Pacifico difficulty and Greece , the debate on the policy of Ministers in relation to the Danish War , and others , we cannot say
the one just terminated has done much to raise the House in public estimation . There were several statesmaulike speeches , such as those of the Home Secretary , Mr .
Roebuck , Sir Robert Peel , Mr . Chaplin , Lord Elcho , the Marquis of Hartington , Sir Stafford Northcote ; while the opening and closing speeches of Mr . Gladstone were in every respect equal to his most brilliant efforts . But some of the
