regulation of the Grand Lodge haying jurisdiction . 2 d— -That an entry should never be made , either on the petition or Lodge books , of how a committee ( on investigation of the fitness of a candidate ) reported . ^ We hav e ^ ^ n announced before . In our own jurisdiction it is the custom to make such reports in writing , and the substance of them is entered upon the record ; and it seems to

us that if the minutes show ( as , with all deforence to Ylrginia , we think all Lodge records should ) that a petition has been referr ^ they should also show , at the proper time , the result of such a reference . 3 d—That 'if a candidate is rejected-the Lodge may return his petition to him , or retain it , at discretion . This too is new to us . We had supposed it too be well settled that even after reference to a committee , no petition could be withdrawn ; but whatever difference of opinion or of practice there might at some time have been on this point , it has not before fallen under our observation that & petition

might be restored to an applicant after rejection . Even Avere it done , what object would the petitioner have gained by the recovery of a simple piece of paper , when the records of the Lodge exhibited its contents and the cohsequencesiresulting ? 4 th— -That ' a sub ordinate Lodge has the authority to restore an expelled member by unanimous vote , to membership , but that the action * of the Gran Lodge ' is necessary to restore him to all the rights and privileges of a Mason / Now this is difficult for us to comprehend . We have been under the impression that a Grand Lodge only should restore in cases of expulsion , and such certainly appears to be be

the general usage in the United States ^ But whether this true or not , if a subordinate may thus far effect a restoration , what need is there for further action by the Grand Lodge when membershi p ^ in good standing , in a legal Lodge , is the first and most complete title to all the rights and privileges of Masonry 1 It seems to us that almost the converse of Bro . Smith ' s Opinion is generally held to be the true decision—that while the Grand Lodge may restore an expelled Mason to the rights and .. privileges of Masonry at large , it may not restore him to membership in the Lodge from which he was ejected , without its proper assent .

The Week

THE WEEK

Her Majesty and Court have been enjoying , for the greater part of the week , the blessings of privacy in the Isle of Wight , but on Thursday the Queen and the Prince Consort with the Princesses Alice and Helena , went on a cruise in the royal yacht Fairy . Her Majesty was accompanied by Lord Lyons , the Duke and Duchess of Manchester , and the Earl and Countess of Clarendon . Her Majesty has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the great seal , granting the dignity of a baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to Alexander Hutchinson Lawrence , of the Bengal Civil Service ( eldest son of the late

Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence , K . C . B . ) , and to his heirs male , with remainder , in default of such issue , to Henry Waidemar Lawrence ( brother of the said Alexander Hutchinson Lawrence ) , and his heirs male . In the House of Lords oh Monday , the consideration of the reasons to be offered to the House of Commons , for the Lords insisting on their amendments to the Oaths Bill , led to considerable discussion , but ultimately the reasons Avere put seriatim by the Lord Chancellor , and agreed to after a division on the fourth reason , which had been amended by the Earl of Derby . It was , however , carried by a majority of 50 to 42 . The reasons Avere then , ordered to be communicated to the Commons . The

Jew Bill was read a third time and passed . On Tuesday Lord Portman remarked that the Government having promised to introduce a bill on the subject of church rates , he should abstain from submitting the measure of which he had given notice for the settlement of the controversy . The Earl of Derby observed that the question ivould undoubtedly receive careful consideration during the recess , and he hoped an acceptable bill would be the result . Beyond this he could not go . On Thursday the Earl of Derby moved the second reading of the Government of India Bill , explaining at some length its provisions , and contending that it could not be considered as a penal measure against the Eafit India Company ; it was
