SHUBY was formerly engaged in the Circulation Department of tho Post Office , but , owing to severe attacks of neuralgia in the h-n tl , ancl defective Vision , consequent upon cataract , ho was compelled to resign his position when at the age of 51 years . His only permanent income since that time has been a pension of £ U a year , to which he was entitled on account of his service , ancl he has had to encroach continually upon his savi gs , till they are now quite exhauste I . Consequently he cannot possibly provide for the boy ' s education , as he did for his children by his first marriage , and it will be a great comfort to him in his now declining days to sec the lad elected into the Institution . When in the full possession of health , lira . Sue KY was a most , active Mason .

He was exalted in the Domatic Chapter , No . 177 , in 1 S 52 , and was elected to the Third i Chair , but the continued unsatisfactory state , » f his health compelled him to I resign . He was also one of the founders of tho Mount Lebanon Chapter , No . ! 73 . When the present applicant was a child iu arms , Bro .

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET

MR . GLADSTONE , it seems , is not the only person in the United Kingdom whom excursionists delight to honour . It was very recently , during Her Majesty ' s visit to Loch Maree , that a party of two hundred persons from Stornoway were conveyed by steamer to Gairloch

under the auspices of a Rev . Mr . Greenfield of the Free Church , with whom the idea originated , their object being to see the Queen . As fortunately the -weather permitted of Her Majesty taking her usual drive , and communications having passed between the Rev . gentleman and General

Ponsonby as to time and other matters of moment , the excursionists had the satisfaction of seeing whom they had journeyed some miles to see . The Queen expressed the pleasure she experienced at having been enabled to satisfy their very loyal wishes ; and the company having sung the

National Anthem , and the Rev . Mr . Greenfield having been introduced to his Sovereign , the Royal carriage drove off on its return home amid the most intense display of enthusiasm . On Thursday last the Princess Louise accompanied hy her husband the Marquis of Lome drove

over from Isell Hall , where they were staying on a visit to the Hon . Mr . Wyndham M . P ., to Carlisle , for the purpose of opening the Bazaar in aid of the funds of the Cumberland Infirmary . On reaching the ancient city the Mayor and members of the Corporation were in waiting at the station to receive the Royal party , and the Princess having

entered the carriage provided , a procession was formed and made for the New Viaduct which the Princess was graciously pleased to declare open . A move was then made towards the Infirmary , where Her Royal Highness was received by the Bishop of the Diocese , the Dean of

Carlisle , and other clerical dignitaries , together with the officials of the Infirmary . Having inspected the building , the party made a move to the Victoria Hall , where the Bazaar was to be held . Addresses by the Mayor and Corporation and the Infirmary having been presented and received , Her

Royal Highness formally declared the Bazaar open . The Princess was then conducted to an adjoining room , where luncheon was served , and then , having a second time visited the Bazaar , the Royal party returned by special train to

Isell Hall . On Saturday another visit was paid to Carlisle , for the purpose of seeing the various objects of interest in the city , and also to present the prizes to the successful students of the Art School . She then inspected the Bazaar towards which she had contributed a statue in terra cotta

of Robin Hood , which was purchased by Mr . Howard , of Greystoke Castle , for 200 guineas . The prizes were then distributed , addresses were presented , and the Marquis of Lome having complimented the Mayor on tbe success

of the arrangements , and thanking him on behalf of the Princess for the reception accorded her , the Princess and her husband returned to Isell Hall . On Monday , she and the Marquis of Lome became the guests of Lord Muncaster at Mnncaster Castle . The Duke

of Connaught has been enjoying deer-stalking at Balmoral , and Prince Leopold having concluded his visit to Tayruouth Castle , has since been the guest of Sir Coutts and Lmdy Lindsay at Balcarres . The Prince of Wales ' s visit to Yorkshire , which

terminated on Saturday , was a most enjoyable one . His host , Sir George Wombwell , had prepared a most attractive programme . Among the incidents of the visit was a trip to Duncombe Park , the seat of the Earl of Peversham , where the Prince lunched , and afterwards planted a silver fir as

a memento of his visit . He afterwards inspected the ruins of Rivaulx Abbey , and having taken tea , returned , as he had gone , via Helmsley . Before leaving Newburgh Hall , his Royal Highness also planted two specimens of the Wtllingtonia Giganlea . On his return to London , on

Saturday , lie was accompaaied to York by Sir George
