Our Weekly Budget.
her available forces are numerically inferior to thoso of her powerful antagonist—at all events , as the case stands now , and according to the latest advices . She has , however , a large and warlike population to draw upon , while in the matter of the sinews of war , we do not think there is much
to choose between the two powers . The peace negotiations with Servia are reported to be going on most favourably ; if terms are arranged , the Turks will have a pretty considerable force set free for other purposes . Turkey and
Montenegro , however , do not , it is said , get on quite so well together . So long , however , as there is no collision between the powers , we may go on hoping for the best , though that best offers , admittedly , no very brilliant prospect .
France has lost one of her most gallant soldiers m tho person of General Changarnier , who died recently , at the advanced age of eighty-four . Changarnier had earned for himself the reputation of being a very dashing officer , and had distinguished himself in several campaigns , but
especially in Algeria , before the overthrow of the Government of the late King Louis Philippe . Ho was one of those exiled by the late Emperor Napoleon III . at the time of his coup d ' etat , but he might have returned to France had he so chosen , as soon as the Emperor ' s position on the throne
vras considered safe . This , however , he did not do . When the war of 1870 broke out , he placed his sword at the Emperor ' s disposal , and was one of tho chiefs who became prisoners of war by the capitulation of Bazaine on October 1870 . The gallant officer was buried with such military pomp as became his rank and services .
The latest advices from the United States , point to the election next month of the Republican candidate Hayes to be President , though the accounts express a strong belief that his opponent , Tilden , is really the elect—with an
honest and snbstantial majority at his back . Perhaps however , we had better defer naming the successor to General Grant till he has been formally inaugurated at Washington , on the 5 th prox .
A special meeting of tho House Committee of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys will bo held this afternoon , at Freemasons' Hall , for the purpose of considering the most
practical way of extending the School at Wood Green , so as to admit of tho number of pupils being increased to three hundred , or about one hundred and twenty in excess of the number now on the muster-roll of the Institution .
In our report last week of the regular Committee meeting , on the 14 th inst ., of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , it was erroneously stated that Bro . Lieut .-Col . Creaton moved that an addition be made to the list of twenty-four male and eighteen female candidates . It should
have been an addition of fifteen male and fifteen female candidates , thus bringing up the numbers to twenty-four of the former and eighteen of the latter . The numbers , however , were correctly given in our leading article on tho Festival .

We havo received an early number of a new weekly journal , bearing the title of Cotton , and intended to be an organ of the cotton trade and its allied and auxiliary industries . To judge from the contents of this particular issue , tho protection and promotion of this trade and its
connected industries will bo in excellent hands . Cotton gives us tho idea of a well-conducted , carefully written journal .

At a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota , held at St . Paul ' s , last month , a series of three resolutions on the Coloured Question was passed by the immense majority of 327 to 7 votes . By the first of these the Grand Lodge of Minnesota declined to recognise the Prince Hall
Grand Lodge on account of the irregularity of its formation . By the second , Grand Lodge declared its inability to recognise any charters as having validity in the State except such as aro issued by its authority , and to issue charters except to Masons of its obedience . The last resolution declares that colour is neither a bar to , nor a
recommendation for , the reception of the Masonic degrees in its jurisdiction , and that every subordinate Lodge may make Masons of any persons possessing the requisite qualifications , that is , who are free-born , of lawful age , good report , and well recommended .
It has long been known that the climate of Algeria is favourable to the growth of the tobacco plant , and Franco has not been slow to take advantage of this . Large quantities of the plant are grown , and tho quality is very highly appreciated by competent judges . So excellent indeed are

them . Considering the prices per hundred , ranging from 13 s Gd for Palatinas , to 53 s for P . U .
