OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
HER Majesty the Queen still remains at Osborne , to which place the Earl of Beaconsfielcl paid a visit on Monday , staying until Weduesday . On Friday , the King and Queen of Denmark arrived at Dover , and Avere there met by H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , who accom .
pamed the royal visitors to London . The following da ) they left for the Isle of Wight . On Monday the Queen and her guests , Avith the Prince and Princess of Wales , Avitnessed some torpedo experiments , Avhich took place in the Solent . As notified in our issue of last Aveek , Parliament was prorogued on Friday by Boyal Commission , and now
Our Weekly Budget.
stands adjourned until Saturday , the 2 nd November next . During the Session thus brought to a close , but few public measures have been passed , the Eastern Question and matters arising therefrom having taken up the bulk of the time durin £ r which the members have met . The House of
Commons sat , on 136 days , for nearly 1 , 100 hours , continuing their debates on 85 occasions until past midnight . No less than 278 divisions were taken on various questions , and only once Avas the Speaker called upon to give a casting vote , the number on that occasion being 40 both for and against the question at issue .
Three members of the Cabinet , all of whom aro representatives of Lancashire constituencies , were entertained on Wednesday at a banquet at Liverpool , and may be said to have started the " recess" resumes of the Parliamentary
doings of the past , and intended measures of the future . As to the past Ave are all familiar , but the future AVO suppose -will reveal tho usual number of unfulfilled promises on the part of our statesmen .
The meeting of the British Association at Dublin Avas brought to a close on Wednesday last , and may safely lay claim to having been a most successful gathering . The nest year's meeting Avill bo held at Sheffield , and we hope may be the means of introducing various improvements and othenvise helping in tho advancement of science .
The annual encampment of Artillery Volunteers , Avhich is held at Shoeburyness , Avas brought to a close on Friday . From the remarks of the Inspecting Officer , we may judge
that this portion of our volunteer force is in a state of general efficiency , and may be relied upon in case of attack for affording no inconsiderable amount of protection to our shores .
The annual collections made in the Metropolis in aid of the hospitals and dispensaries of our city are becoming the means of adding considerably to the amount spent on charitable objects . The returns of the last Hospital Sun «
day collection shoAv a total receipt of no less than £ 24 , 460 , which amount has been distributed by the committee among the 125 institutions which can lay claim to the benefits of these periodical contributions .
The recent robbery at the Isle of Man Bank has this week been satisfactorily cleared up . It having been decided to thoroughly search the premises lately occupied by the convicted cashier , arrangements were made for
carrying this object into effect , but such a course was rendered unnecessary by a confession which he made , and Avhich disclosed the whereabouts of the missing money . The bank has now recovered all but £ ib of the £ 8 , 873 Avhich they alleged had been stolen .
The labour question appears to be one that will give the country considerable trouble , even though Ave may have little or no Avork to quarrel over . In Bristol upwards of 2 , 000 persons are on strike against a proposed reduction of wages , and on a notice being given by the North .
British Railway Company , for increasing the number of working hours from 51 to 54 per week , about 600 mechanics employed by them at Edinburgh have threatened to strike work unless the proposal is withdrawn . While the Avorking classes take such rigorous measures against
their employers , Ave can hardly hope for any regard being shown them , and fear that a revival of business is seriously delayed by such unsatisfactory activity . The death occurred on Wednesday of Queen Christina of Spain . She Avas the daughter of Francis I . of
Bourbon , King of the TAVO Sicilies , by his second wife Maria Isabella , daughter of King Charles IV . of Spain , and Avas born at Naples on 27 th April 1806 . She married , in December 1829 , the then King of Spain ( Ferdinand VII . ) ,
who was many years her senior in age , and died four years after their marriage . On the 10 th October 1830 she was delivered of a daughter , Avho , by the Avill of her father , Avas appointed to succeed him , be having , just previous to his death , revoked the Salic law , and thus made it lawful for a
woman to reign in Spain . For many years the late Queen Christina acted as Regent to her infant child , durino- a greater portion of which time Spain Avas devastated by disastrous civil wars . She resigned her Regency in October 1840 , and since then has tmssecl a great portion of her time in
retirement near Havre . For many years she possessed great control over her daughter Isabella , and may almost be looked upon as having ruled Spain during the earl y days of that Queen ' s reign . The task of occupation is still being vigorously pushed forward by the Austrians both in Bosnia and Herzegovina } but the continued opposition oo the part of th , e inhabitants
