Our Weekly Budget

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET

ON Thursday last , in tho House of Lords , Lord Redeadale drew attention to the subject of confession and Absolution , especially to a most objectionable work entitled " The Priest in Absolution , " which appears to be sanctioned by a number of clergymen of the Church , of England . Two or three members of the bench of bishops took part in the

debate that followed . The next day , Lord Stanley of Alderley raised a discussion on the treatment of the united Greek Church iu Asia , after which there took place a debate , originated by the Duke of Argyll , on our policy in Afghanistan . The speakers , besides His Grace , were ,

the Marqtua of Salisbury , Secretary of State for India , and Lords Lawrence and Northbrook , late Viceroys . On Monday , the report of amendments to the Burials Acts Consolidation Bill was taken into consideration . A clause , proposed by the Archbishop of York , was defeated , but

Lord Harrowby ' s clause , which had previously been defeated by the bare majority of one , was brought up again and carried by 127 to 111 , the Government thus sustaining

defeat on one important measure . Thereupon the Duke of Richmond and Gordon proposed the adjournment of the Bill till next week , in order that the Government might consider what course of action they should take .

In the House of Commons , further progress was made with the Prisons Bill , and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge , both of which afc length emerged from Committee in spite of vexatious delays interposed by Mr . Biggar and others . On Friday , the Roads and Bridges

( Scotland ) Bill was read a second time , while a resolution , proposed by Mr . Meldon , the Borough Franchise in Ireland was defeated . On Monday , on the question of going into Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates , an amendment , proposed by Mr . Lefevre , on the subject of

Naval Cadets was defeated by 171 to 130 . Dr . Playfair having drawn attention to the report of the Arctic Admiralty Committee , the House went into Committee , and Mr . Hunt , who has not yet entirely recovered from his illness , moved sundry votes which wei'e agreed to . The

Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Bill was read a third time , and passed amid much cheering . On Tuesday , the Prisons Bill , after some debate , passed its third reading at the morning sitting . On the House meeting , at 9 o ' clock

there was a count out . On Wednesday afternoon , a Locomotives on Roads Bill was withdrawn , on Colonel Chaplin , who proposed its second reading , receiving an assurance from the Government that they would take the subject into consideration .

Wednesday was the fortieth anniversary of the Queen ' s accession to the throne , and the bells in London rang out a merry peal in honour of the auspicious event . Thursday next will be coronation day , when many of the Government

offices will have a holiday . The day following Avas fixed for the return of Her Majesty from Balmoral to Windsor . Two State Concerts are arranged to be held at Buckingham Palace next month , one on the Gth , and the other on the 11 th prox .

The visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Easthampstead Park was varied on Saturday by the usual water party at Virginia Water . The Princess with her children drove over about half-past six , while the Prince followed shortly after on Lord Carington ' s drag . The Duke

of Cambridge and others were of the party . The young Princes enjoyed the fishing amazingly , some very fine perch and some pike being captured . Dinner was served in the lushing Cottage , and as the weather was fine everything passed off most satisfactorily . On Monday , their Royal

Highnesses concluded their visit to Easthampstead Park , and on their way to town drove to Wellington College , Wokingham , whence they continued their journey to the South Eastern Railway Station , and proceeded by special train to Charing-cross . Ou Tuesday , they gave a dinner
