Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

IT was the intention of her Majesty to have left Osborne for Balmoral on Wednesday , but owing to the Deesidc Railway being flooded for some distance , her departure was delayed till Thursday , when she set out , and will , no doubt , have reached her Highland residence ere these lines come under the notice of our readers . The King of Denmark

is still on a visit to his daughter , the Princess of Wales , who is detained in London by reason of the illness of her eldest son , Prince Albert Victor . However , the Princo of Wales rejoined his wife for a few days this week , in order that he might share with her the duty of welcoming his

father-in-law . London is not the liveliest of cities in the dog-days , but the theatres and Promenade Concerts afforded the Prince and Princess and their guest some slight enjoyment . The Prince has since returned on board the Royal yacht Osborne , where he had been spending some time with

Prince George and his three daughters . As soon as Prmce Albert Victor is strong enough to be moved , he will be sent into the country to recruit his strength , and that happily accomplished , he and his brother will take up their quarters on board H . M . S . Britannia . On Wednesday , the Countess of Leicester laid the foundation stone of a

Convalescent Home at Hunstanton , which is intended to serve aa a memorial of the thankfulness exhibited in 1872 for the recovery of the Prince from his terrible attack of fever . Previous to the ceremony , lunch , at which the Earl of Leicester presided , was served at the Sandringham

Hotel . Her ladyship then laid the stone with the usual formalities ; the Earl addressed a short speech to those present , on the subject of indiscriminate charity , which he very strongly and properly condemned , while the Home they had that day met together to inaugurate was intended for those who are ready to help themselves .

Great efforts are being made to relieve the sufferings of our fellow Indian subjects . Almost the last Bill which passed the two Houses of Parliament , and received the Royal assent , was the East India Loan Bill , which enables the Government to raise five millions for this purpose ; but

the British public is always busy in the cause of benevolence , and a Relief Fund is in course of formation at the Mansion House . The contributions had already reached the sum of £ 24 , 000 on Wednesday afternoon , the Prince

of Wales having given £ 500 , the Princess of Wales 100 guineas , the Earl of Derb y £ 200 , Miss Florence Nightingale £ 25 , Messrs . Arbuthnot , Latham and Co . £ 500 , Messrs . Stern Brothers £ 500 , Messrs . Heath and Co . £ 550 , & c , & c . Famine is one of the most terrible calamities which

can befall a nation , and , unhappily , our Indian Empire is peculiarly liable to such visitations . Every effort , however , is being made by our Government to meet the urgency of the case , and we trust they will be successful in reducing the sufferings of the poor East Indians to a

. Now that Parliament has risen , scarcely a day will pass but we shall read of some member of Parliament addressing his constituents , or , if not his constituents , some

gathering of people met together for the purpose of discussing politics . Several of these have already taken place , at one of which the leaders of the Irish Obstructives , Messrs . Biggar and Parnell , addressed a large meeting in the Rotunda , Dublin . The speeches of these gentlemen were

received very warmly , and a resolution expressive of gratitude for their services during the past Session as contrasting favourably with the tame and spiritless conduct of the other Home Rulers was passed with acclamation . Mr .

O Donnefl , who is also an Obstructive , has addressed a large meeting at Glasgow , and his speech was also well received . Mr . Gladstone has been making one or more speeches , and expresses his sympathy with the cause of Russia as warmly as ever . We think the partisanship of

the right honourable gentleman is far too pronounced for
