OUR WEEKLY BUDGET .
ON Friday last the Queen , accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Prince Leopold , left Osborne for Scotland . Her Majesty reached Broxmcmth House , the scat ot the Duke of Roxburghe , on Saturday morning , and
remained there on a visit until Monday evening , when she started for Balmoral , which place was reached early on Tuesday morning . H . R . H . the Prince of Wales accompanied the King of Denmark on a visit to Portsmouth on
Our Weekly Budget.
Monday last ; they also inspected several of the ships which were anchored in the harbour . A court martial for inquiring into the circumstances attending the loss of Her Majesty ' s ship Eurydice was opened on Tuesday last , on board the flagship at
Portsmouth the Duke of Wellington . As may naturally bo expecteda considerable amount of evidence will be adduced , but whether any good -will arise from tho inquiry it is impossible to say ; we fear that , as the bulk of the evidence
will bear upon technicalities only , no satisfactory report will be forthcoming . Still we suppose the nation would hardly like so unfortunate an occurrence to pass without the strictest investigation .
During tho week we have had some very heavy thunderstorms , not , however , marked by tho extreme violence of those of last week . The South of England particularly seems to have experienced their effects . About ten minutes past eight a . m . on Thursday the wife of J " . Sharman ,
gardener to Mr . Christopher Lethbridge , of Elmsdale , Blackheath Park , was struck by lightning whilst dressing in her bedroom , and killed instantaneously . Her infant , lying in a cot in tho same room , escaped . Her husband , who was in a room below , was uninjured . Tho deceased had been
married but two years . A very severe thunderstorm burst over Brighton . The thunder was loud and continuous , and the lightning exceedingly brilliant , while the rain fell in a perfect deluge . At Canterbury the electric current struck a large chimney at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital ,
doing considerable damage . The debris knocked down a man -who was passing at the time . He was picked up in an insensible condition . At Chatham the lightning was very vivid and the thunder heavy . The rain came down in torrents , flooding some of the thoroughfares . A man at
Rochester driving a locomotive engine was struck by lightning and rendered temporarily unconscious , but he appears to have received no permanent injury . At East Grinstead three valuable 'horses belonging to Mr . George Brand , of
Goodwin ' s Farm , were killed by lightning . A boy who was feeding them was unhurt . At Abingdon two valuable cows were struck while grazing on the bank of the river below Nuneham House , and killed instantaneously . In Essex much inconvenience and mischief has been caused .
In several towns and villages houses have been damaged by the lightning and flooded by the rains ; while crops have been sadly beaten down , especially by hail . In many places the roads have been two feet and three feet under water . Altogether the disasters during the week from tempestuous causes have been of a serious character .
During the week two fatal fires have occurred—one at Birmingham on Monday last , by which four persons lost their lives , and three others were seriously injured , and the other at Hackney , where two children , who were playing with lucifer matches , set fire to the . house and were suffo « cated before assistance could reach them . At the former
the scene is described as very distressing , the fatalities being witnessed by a large crowd , who were , however , unable to prevent their occurrence . Certain parts of the
hre escape caught fire , which rendered it necessary to relax the efforts which were being made by its means to rescue the inmates of the house . "We should think in these days of advancement some method could be devised to render it
impossible that such an event should occur ; we find iron used now for what a few years since would have been considered impossibilities , and surely such an article as a fire escape could either be built of that metal , or in some other way rendered fireproof . We hope some steps will be taken before long with this object in view .
When we have decided where we shall spend our holiday , we are sometimes assailed by difficulties as to how we shall get to our destination . A case is in our mind where the children of a friend are suffering from that interesting complaint the whooping cough , and the railway
company refuse to carry the sufferers unless Paterfamilias engages an entire compartment . At the Mansion House Justice-room , on Thursday , Bro . Henry Whittingham , the captain of the Rhine steamer , belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company , attended before Aid . Phillips
to answer a summons which charged him with having , on l ! rd August , carried on board that steamer , on a voyage from London to Yarmouth , 259 passengers in excess of' the number specified in the Certificate of the Board of Trade ,
contrary to the provisions of the Merchant Shi pping Act , and for which offence he had incurred a penalty of £ ' £ Q and a fine of 5 s for every passenger carried in excess of the number for which the vessel had a certificate . It appeare 4
