Our Weekly Budget.

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .

FOR some reason or other the Government appear to be singularly reticent as to the conduct of public business during the rest of the Session . Earl Granville , for instance , on Friday evening-, asked the Duke of Richmond as to what Government Bills would be proceeded with , and what , if any , abandoned , but he failed to elicit

more than a general statement containing information already known to the House . Earl Delawarr having moved for and obtained certain papers relating to the Agricultural Children Act , and the Earl of Harrowby having asked the Under Secretary for "War whether an

examination in Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales was deemed a a necessary introduction to Her Majesty's Cavalry and Infantry , Lord Strathnairn moved a resolution respecting admission into the Military Service by means of competition , but after a speech from the Under Secretary and a

few remarks by other noble Lords , the motion was withdrawn . Lord Blachford ' s request for papers relating to the revised constitution of Natal was acceded to by the Earl of Carnarvon . The second reading of the Entail Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill was moved by the Lord

Chancellor , and after observations from the Earl of Camperdown , the Dnke of Buccleugh and others , was agreed to . Othei Bills were then advanced a stage . On Monday , the Earl Beaucharnp having brought up a message from the Queen , on the subject of the recent resolution respecting the Irish

peerage , and Lord Penzance having put a question to the Colonial Secretary , touching an act for the compulsory purchase by the local government of land in Prince Edward ' s Island , which had been assented to by the Lieut .

Governor of the Colony , the Lord Chancellor moved the second reading of the Statute Law Revision Bill . This was agreed to , and then Lord Stratheden and Campbell moved two resolutions liavin < r reference to the Ottoman

Porte on the one hand , and a certain identic note presented in October of last year to that power by Austria , the German Empire , and Russia , and a treaty between Austro- ^ Hungary and Roumania . A long and interesting debate , in which the Earl of Rosebery , Lord Hammond , and 0 : e

Earl of Derby took part , followed , when , as regards the first resolution , it was got rid of by the previous question , while the second was withdrawn . The Conspiracy and Protection of Property Bill and the Employers and Workmen Bill were then passed through their second reading . On Monday the

Entail Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill passed through Committeeafter a brief debate , in which theEarl of Camperdown , Lord Napier and Ettrick , and Viscount Cardwell took part . In reply to a question from Earl Delawarr , respecting the defunct Merchant Shipping Bill of the Government , the

Earl of Malmersbury announced that Ministers proposed to introduce a measure which would give the Board of Trade greater power than it now possessed , of stopping unseaworthy ships from putting to sea , and that this would continue in operation for a year , so that there would be

ample time for a more elaborate Government measure , dealing ; fully with the subject , to be passed . On Thursday , the OfT'sjiirficy and Protection of Property , and the Employers ; ii > d Workmen Bill passed through Committee , the

Lunatic Asylums ( Ireland ) Bill passed its second reading , and the Report on the Entail Amendment ( Scotland ) Bill WAS agreed to , after an amendment by the Earl of Camperil-uvri on ( J ! : H ' .. ° e 12 had been defeated by 28 to 22 .

In the House of Commons , at the morning sitting on Tuesday , sundry questions were first put and answered , and then the House went into Committee on the Agricultural Holdings Bill . An amendment of Mr . Knatchbull-Hngessen , that ten years instead of seven should be the

maximum of unexhausted improvements in the second class , was rejected by 196 to 138 . In connection with the third class , an amendment to omit the words , " as the taking of a crop " from the section of the clause providing that the taking of a crop shall be considered an exhausted
