OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
THE week in Parliament has resulted in further progress with two Government measures . The Commons Bill has passed through Committee in tho Lords , and the Elementary Education Bill has had the full amount of discussion so important a Bill is entitled to in tho Commons . On Monday a short debate arose in tho Upper
House anent the Declaration of Paris ; in the other , Lord Henry Lennox having offered a personal explanation of the reasons that had led him to retire from the Ministry , the
Premier enlightened the House as to the alleged Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria . Such had been exercised not only by Turks towards Christians , but likewise by Christians towards Turks . The first offenders were a number of
agitating scoundrels , who had burned out the unoffending inhabitants of Turkish villages in Bulgaria , but the retaliation of tho latter had been excessively severe . On
Wednesday an attempt to repeal the Contagious Diseases Act proved a failure . On Friday and Tuesday the House of Commons was counted out a few minutes after nine , the hour fixed for the resumption of the sitting .
On Tuesday their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales held a second garden party at Chiswick . The guests were numerous , and the Royal party included the King and Qneen of the Hellenes , the Prince and Princess Christian , the Princess Louise , Marchioness , and
the Marquis of Lome , the Duke of Cambridge , and the Duke and Duchess of Teck . On Wednesday the Prince and Princess , with their Hellenic Majesties , paid a visit to the Crystal Palace , the directors of which , though the time
allowed them was short , exerted themselves very successfully to provide an entertainment worthy of the occasion . The chief features of the programme were a grand concert and the performances in the Hippodrome . Over fifteen thousand visitors entered the Palace and grounds .
On Friday last an appalling accident occurred on board one of our monster ironclads , H . M . S . Thunderer , one of whose boilers burst in the afternoon of that day , and caused a fearful loss of life , besides seriously injuring a still greater number of persons . About a score of persons were
killed outright , and nearly four times as many most terribly damaged . Of the latter a number have already succumbed to their wounds , and there are close upon forty deaths recorded , while the condition of ten or twelve more is said to be most precarious . The funeral of the
victims was attended with every mark of respect which the Dockyard and Naval and Military authorities of Portsmouth were able to show . The Queen , on hearing of tho catastrophe , at once telegraphed her deep sympathy with the sufferers , as did likewise the Prince and Princess of
Wales , and other members of the Royal Family . A subscription for the families of the sufferers has been opened , and among the contributors are the Queen and the Princo of Wales . The usual coroner ' s inquiry has been opened , and every endeavour will , no doubt , be made to ascertain
the cause of the accident . Our new ships of war have happily had no chance of proving their strength at the expense of our enemies , but they are very formidable to ourselves . The Captain turned turtle in the Bay of Biscay , and cost us between four and five hundred valuable
lives . The Vanguard lies at the bottom of the Irish Channel , whither she was sent in a few minutes by a sister ironclad . And now the boiler of a third ironclad has cost us already some forty more valuable lives . How it will fare with these monsters in the day of battle remains to be seen .
We gladly pass , however , to more agreeable topics . The Lord Mayor entertained the Archbishops and Bishops of the Established Church , at the Mansion House , on Wednesday . A very numerous array of reverend aud other guests assembled round his Lordship ' s hospitable board on fclio occasion , and Archbishop Tait delivered a very
