Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

YESTERDAY had been arranged for the return of tho Court from the Highlands , but the illness of Prince Leopold has , we regret to say , prevented the Queen from undertaking the journey . The Princess of "Wales , _ also , had been detained at Abergeldie by reason of the continued

illness of Miss Knollys , who recovers from her severe relapse more slowly than had been expected , but according to arrangements Her Royal Highness left for tho South on Thursday afternoon . After bis visit to Lord and Lady Walsingham , the Prince of Wales

honoured Lord Londesborough by becoming his guest at Londesborough House in the East Riding . On Tuesday His Royal Highness paid a flying visit to Selby , en route to Lord Londesborough's estate at Thorpe for the purpose of a day ' s shooting . The worthy people of Selby resolved

therefore on preparing a hearty welcome for the Royal visitor , and set about decorating the streets and houses of their quaint old town . The Prince had a good day ' s sport , but during the clay a most unfavourable change occurred in the weather , and the return of the shooting party to

Selby Station was accomplished through a persistent heavy rain , which would not be denied . Consequently there was intense disappointment , especially as the illumination , which had been looked forward to as the great achievement of the day , was a complete failure . The Prince ,

however , let it be known that he highly appreciated the honour which it had been determined to show him , and that he sympathised fully with the people of Selby at the disappointment they had met -with . On Saturday , the Princess Mary of Cambridge , Duchess of Teck , and her

husband , accompanied by the Earl and Countess of Brownlow visited Hemel Hempstead for the purpose of opening the new infirmaiy just erected there . The Earl of Verulam , Lord-Lieutenant of the County , the Bishop of St . Albans , tho members for the county , Messrs . Abel

Smith , the Hon . H . P . Cowper and T . P . Halsey , Esq ., with the principal nobility and gentry of West Herts and the Municipality of Hemel Hempstead , were present . After the usual address Her Royal Highness declared the building open , and then followed a dejeuner , at which the Earl of

Verulam presided . One of the toasts of the afternoon , "the health of the Princess Mary Adelaide , Duchess of Teck , and the Duke of Teck , " was drunk with the greatest cordiality , and responded to by the latter in a brief but suitable speech . The other important toast , " Prosperity

to the West Herts Infirmary , & c , & c . " was also received with enthusiasm , and after Earl Brownlow and Mr . R yder , president of the Institution , had duly acknowledged it , the Rev . Mr . Thompson read oat the list of subscriptions , and announced that the amount contributed was in excess of £ 3 , 000 .

The trial of the four detectives and Mr . Froggatt , solici * tor , terminated on Tuesday . The jury found Meiklejohn , Druscovich , Palmer , and Froggatt guilty , but acquitted Clarke . Two of the four convicted , namely , Druscovich and Palmer , were recommended to the merciful

consideration of the Court ; but , in passing sentence , Baron Pollock made no distinction , and they were severally condemned to two years' imprisonment with hard labour . The prisoners were removed in custodv , and as there are other indictments

on which the law advisers of the Crown may proceed , if they are so minded , Chief Inspector Clarke was released on Lis own recognisances of £ 100 , to appear , if necessary , on a future occasion and answer them . Thud has ended

one of the most memorable , and certainly most exciting , trials of our day . The one point on which we think it needful to offer a remark is , that it AMIS protracted to au

inordinate length . It seems to us that either the preliminary examination before the magistrate , or the trial at the Old Bailey , might have been shortened . As at Lillie Bridge , so at the Agricultural Hall , Gfale ' a
