NOTICE . In consequence of the great pressure on our space we are compelled to bold over several important communications .

Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

THE Lord Chancellor is still Minister iu attendance on Her Majesty , who , with the Princess Beatrice , and attended by the Countess of Erroll , left the Castle on Tuesday afternoon for the Glassalt Shiel . Princo Leopold has been visiting at Abergeldie , and on Sunday the Prince and Princess of Wales lunched with the Queen . On Tuesday ,

the Prince of Wales , with his two sons , the Princes Albert Victor and George , reached Clarence House from Abergeldie , en route for Dartmouth , where the Britannia training ship is stationed . His Eoyal Highness , it was expected , would visit Paris before the week was over .

At the close of business on Wednesday , tho Indian Famine Relief Fund at the Mansion House had reached £ 388 , 000 , of which £ 350 , 000 have already been remitted to India . Among the latest contributions were a further instalment from Warwickshire £ 1000 , twentieth instalment

from Dublin £ 500 , Kendal , third instalment , £ 500 , Bridgewater £ 150 , Saffron Walden £ 104 , Otago , "New Zealand , £ 200 , the Union Bank of Australia £ 200 , the Bank of Australasia £ 105 , Cambridge University , additional , £ 100 ,

the Lodge of Emulation 25 guineas , & c . The Liverpool Indian Famine Relief Fund have remitted a further £ 7000 , making a total already sent out of £ 27 , 000 . South Australia has also sent £ 2 , 000 .

One of those dreadful colliery explosions which occur periodically in one or other of our mining districts happened on Thursday afternoon of last week , at the King Pit , Pemberton , near Wigau , and resulted in the deaths of thirtytwo men and three explorers , or thirty-five in all . It

occurred in what is known as ihe nine feet mine , where , owing to the dangerons quality of the gas , the greatest caution is necessary . The workings are not very extensive , bnt they had been laid out very skilfully , s > nd everything that was possible had been done to prevent accident .

However , a sufficient amount of coal had been opened out to liberate a great quantity of gas , which is of the character known among miners as " sharp , " and fires before there is time for the workmen to escape . Nothing is known as to

the cause of the accident , nor is it likely anything will be known , as all those have perished who could have afforded any explanation . Great gallantry was shown in the attempt to liberate those known to be in the working , and three of the exploring party fell victims in the attempt .

Bro . Sir John Bennett having been a third time elected Alderman of the Ward of Cheap , and by a majority of very nearly two to one , presented himself on Tuesday before the Court of Aldermen , but was a third time rejected on the

ground that he was not a fit and proper person to discbarge the duties and support the dignity of an Alderman of the City of London . Sir John Bennett intimated his intention of not carrying the case before a Court of Law .

The comparative respite from active operations whicb has taken place both in Asia and on the Danube for these last two or three weeks has been rudely disturbed during the last few clays . The Grancl Duke Michael has at length something like a decisive victory to boast of , and

Moukhtar Pasha can no longer be described as Moukhtar the Victorious . On Sunday the Russians under General Lazareff occupied the heights of Orlok , driving out the Turkish troops and compelling them to fall back in the

direction of Kars . On the 15 th . a general attack was delivered along the whole line , and after a severe contest extending over ft ur hours , General Hermann carried the Turkish position on Mount Awlias . Thus Moukhtar ' s army was out in two . One part was driven headlong in
