Review Of The Week.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK .

THE most important matter , at all events in the Masonic world , since the appearance of our last issue , is the election of H . R . H . the Prince of Wales to be Grand Master for the ensuing year , and the announcement that his installation is fixed to take place at the Royal Albert Hall , on tie

28 th prox . As we refer elsewhere to this subject , we need only here congratulate our readers on the election , and echo , as we do most cordially , the wish expressed by Treasurer Tomkins , that Masonry may become more and more flourishing under the auspices of the new G . M .

The progress of the Session has thus far been marked by nothing of any special importance , as regards party politics . In the House of Lords , on Friday of last week , the second reading of the Patents for Inventions Bill was moved and carried , after some discussion , in the course of which Earl

Granville suggested reference of the Bill to a select committee . As the Lord Chancellor pointed out that every kind of evidence that could by any possibility be required had already been obtained , the suggestion was needless , and was of course , withdrawn . On Monday their Lordships

sat for a short time only ; but on Tuesday , one of the most important measures of the year passed through . Committee , the Transfer of Land and Titles Bill , the question , whether the registration of titles should be

compulsory or not , being reserved till the report . On Thursday , in the course of a verv brief sitting , the Supreme Court of Judicature Act ( 1873 ; Amendment Bill passed through . Committee .

In the House of Commons , Sir G . Jenkinson , on Friday last , drew the attention of the House to the question of the Abolition of Turnpike Trusts . In the debate that followed , there was a somewhat lively passage of arms between Mr . Bright and the Premier , the former taunting the

Government with pursuing a different policy in office from what they had sanctioned in Opposition ; the latter retorting promptly . Then came on . Mr . Martin ' s motion for the production of certain papers in relation to the conviction of John Mitchell , but the motion was withdrawn , and shortly

afterwards the house adjourned . On Monday it was announced by Mr . Disraeli , that Her Majesty had been pleased to appoint Captain Gossett , the present Under Serjeant to the office of Serjeant , rendered vacant by tho retirement of Lord Charles Russell . This announcement was

received with loud aud general applause from all parts of the House . Then Sir W . H . Beach moved for leave to bring in a Bill on the subject of the Peace Preservation Ireland Acts . Several Irish members spoke in opposition to the measure , but leave was given , and the Bill afterwards read a

first time , the second reading being fixed fro Monday next . Tuesday was occupied in tho discussion of Education in Rural Districts . Mr . Fawcett brought forward a motion thereanent ; Mr . Pell moved an amendment to Mr . Fawcett ' s proposals , and the Government , represented by Mr . Cross

and Loi'd Sandon , objected to both . In the result , Messrs . Fawcett and Pell were severally defeated . Mr . Egerton then moved to postpone further legislation on the subject for the present , bnt a motion for adjoui'nment was at length , acceded to by the Government , and the House rose . On

Wednesday , Mr . Cowper Temple sought to induce the House to pass the second reading of the Universities ( Scotland ) ( Degrees of Women ) Bill , but unsuccessfully , the Bill being thrown out hy a majority of 48 . On Thursday , the early part of the proceedings was occupied with .

the discussion of a question of privilege brought under the notice of the House by one of , if not , its latest member , Dr . Kenealy , the elect of Stoke-on-Trent . A long and somewhat lengthy debate followed , in the course of which

it was objected that the immediate case under notice was not really a question of the kind at all , that the remarks were made when Dr . Kenealy was not a member , nor were they directed ugajiist him in his capacity of member )
