Our Weekly Budget.

Tho defendant , having proved that ho had the landlord s permission to erect tho organ , his Honour expressed the opinion that the nuisance was not actionable , though it was intolerable , and a verdict was entered for the defendant , with costs . And so tho matter stands . Mr . Corpe may

go on playing his organ to the annoyance of his fellowtenants of 50 Lincoln ' s Inn Fields , while Mr . Weir endeavours to prosecute his literary labours under the most trying circumstances ; and yet there is no remedy . " Tho law allows it , and the Court awards it . "

At this season of the year preparations are always being made for the University Boat Race , which is rowed annually about Easter . Before Christmas trial Eights were out practising both at Oxford and Cambridge , but the floods have seriously interfered with the work , and if they

last long enough , will make the business of training a matter of some difficulty . However , as far as it can be done , sfcrenuons efforts are being made to get together the strongest representative eights for the two Universities , and these efforts are very likely to prove successful . Thero

is no lack at either of them of good men and true , ready and willing to do battle in honour of their alma mater . Time , indeed , seems to pass rapidly , when we find ourselves now wondering whether Cambridge will repeat her victory of last year , or Oxford will bo strong enough to turn the tables on her rival .

According to all accounts , there appears to be very little chance of the Turks yielding , even at the last moment , to the demands of the Great Powers , though these have been greatly reduced since the Conference held its first meeting . In one or two quarters we have seen a belief expressed that

some kind of arrangement may be come to to-day , but this seems almost hoping against hope . This being so , people are of course beginning to speculate as to what will be the outcome of all this palavering . It is generally stated that should Turkey decline to yield , the Special

Plenipotentiaries will leave Constantinople ; but it by no means follows that the Great Powers will remain unrepresented at the Porte . Nor as between Russia and Turkey does it by any means follow that a rapture of diplomatic relations will lead to war . True , Russia will be in a great fix , and

having come forward in November last , and threatened her rival with all kinds of penalties , if she did not yield to her demands as the self-elected champion of Christianity , she will stand before all Europe as having sustained a serious diplomatic defeat . But for all this the Czar may

find it wise to hold back , if it be truo , as has been stated before , that her military strength is less formidable than she had expected . Great dissatisfaction is said to prevail at the prospect of a collision , and the enthusiasm for the Slavs is reported to be reduced , to a very low ebb indeed . ' Turkey ,

too , has shown herself more powerful than was expected , and with far more of vitality in her than could have been expected from Czar Nicholas ' s " dying man" of 1853 . It is little use , however , indulging any further speculations as to future events . We shall know soon enough what will

happen ; and when Parliament meets , about three weeks hence , full details will , no doubt , be given of the negotiations now so shortly about to terminate . Meanwhile , if our readers are anxious to study this Eastern Question more fully , we advise them to read the articles in the Edinburgh

and the Quarterly , just published . They will gather from these a far more complete idea of the question in all its bearings than can be obtained from any other papers or periodicals . They are written , too , in the calmest and most dispassionate tone , without the slightest prejudice in favour

of this or that view , and their value is greatly increased by the fact of their concurring on all essential points . This must have weight with the general public , for the Edinburgh and Quarterly are seldom at ono with each other in the great political problems of the day .

The Quarterly General Court of the Governors and Subscribers of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls was held on Saturday , the 13 th inst ., at . Freemasons' Hall ; Bro . Col . Creaton V . P ., in tho chair . The Secretary , Bro . Robert- Wentworth Little , read tho minutes , which were

confirmed ; he also announced the purpose for which the meeting was convened . Bro . Col . Creaton proposed that the sum of £ 500 be granted to complete the amount required agreeably to tender for the new laundry . This was seconded by Bro . A . H . Tattershall . Bro . Little

reported that there were 54 candidates for the next election in April , and there would be 13 vacancies . Bro . John Symonds P . G . D . suggested that the Committee should

establish aa a tost of ability to read on tho part of tho intending candidates tho standard fixed by the Education Department of the Privy Council . These views having met with tho approval of tho Chairman and Committee , a vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to Bro .

Col . Creaton , and the meeting was adjourned . Amongst thoso present were Bros . H . A . Dubois , A . H . Tattershall , J . Symonds , H . Browse , H . Massey , Z . D . Berry , Thos . Massa , J . Boyd , H . Dickefcts , Dr . Ramsay , S . Rosenthal , T . W . White , E . H . Finney , & c .

We havo been favoured with a copy of the Report of tho Directors of the Redruth Masonic Hall Company Limited , and we heartily congratulate them on the result of their management , as -well as on the prospects which apparently are in store for them . The authorised capital of the

company consists of 750 shares of £ 2 each . Of these 522 had been issued to the end of the year 1876 , representing a sum of £ 1 , 044 , and ten more havo since been taken up . Tho total receipts from all sources amount to £ 1 , 107 4 s lid . Per contra , the expenditure is as follows : —Paid for site in

1874 , £ 36 ; on account to contractors , £ 850 , the total contract being £ 1 , 079 ; paid to Messrs . Barwell , Son , and Fisher , £ 30 7 s Od ; interest and commission on banking account , £ 1 14 s ; the actual payments representing a sum of £ 918 Id . The unpaid calls amount to £ 172 3 s 3 d , and

the cash balance in hand to £ 17 0 s 8 d . The directors announce that the balance of the contract will be paid to the contractors when tho Hall is formally handed over to the company , and that the Hall is so nearly completed aa to allow of the Lodges of the town holding their meetings

there . It is further announced that an additional sum of £ 200 will be needed in order to provide tho requisite fittings ; but as the directors are unwilling to raise this by a mortgage on the Hall , arrangements have been made with the Company ' s bankers for the advance of the sum on

the directors' several and joint promissory notes . It is further pointed out that the parts of the Hall not required for Masonic Lodges have been found sufficiently attractive to obtain proposals for their use at fair rentals , the lower Hall being already leased to the Ancient Order of Eorestera

and a religious body , who use the same two nights in the week , at a yearly rental ; the present income of the company being about £ 50 per annum , which is close upon 5 per cent .

were present , together with representatives of Lodges Nos . 614 , 832 , and 1268 , apologies being read from sundry for their inability to attend .
