The most interesting events of the week
In parliament have had reference to the
Pope, the celebration Of Corpus Christi.
the Horse guards. and the Jesuits On
Thursday night MIR. Whalley, with even
more than his usual earnestness. asked
Mr. D1sraeH whether he was aYar that
th0 Inv OF England made it crime Tor
any member Of the society of Jesuits to
reside here, and that in open violation of
this law a considerable number of Jesuits
were living in England? eAnd he added
to this question a further demand.
whether he was prepared to enforce
against such persons the provisions fthe
act 10 Geo. ", c. l., S. %: and if not,
whether he was prepared to adopt some
other and what means of protection
against the perils contemplated and pro-
vidcd for by the said act?
To these questions Mr. Disraeli made
ready reply. ''There is no Doubt
said the premier. that there are Jesuits
in England, and that tn cir presence here
is, under the act Of George ". misde.
meanor. But ever since that law was
passed--a period Of nearly half a century
the government has in no case attempt
ed to enforce the law: and the present
government does not mean to enforce it.
But at the same time we do not look upon
the law as obsolete, but as reservinc
powers Of law Of which We shall avail
ourselves if necessary
l have had the curiosity to turn to the
Catholic Register in order to see how
many jesuit houses there were in Great
Britain. I find there are in England,
Scotland and Wales thirteen of these
houses, which contain altogether about
one hundred and twenty-five members Of
the ''Society Of Jesus
Mr.. Whalley was not perfectly salts
fed with the premier reply, and he re-
turned 50 the attack last night. this time,
however, turning his guns u pom the home
secretary. He asked Mr. Cross whether.
in view of the fact that Mr.. Dicraeli had
said that the Jaws for expelling the
Jesuits would be put in operation if
necessary: he was aware that great num-
bers of Jesuits expelled (rem other coun-
tries have lately resorted here for the
avowed purpose of making England
the centre Of their operations, and
of subjugating the British en-
pire to the policy Of the pap!cy!'' The
house laughed at this, and it laughed still
more when Mr.. Wha]]ey proceeded to
suggest that, las 100000 persons, in pc
titions sent to this house, had expressed
their belief that the Tichborne case Is an
instance Of Jesuit conspiracy he ought
to take action for enforcing the law of
George ". Mr.. Cross replied that he
had no information at the home office
concerning the jesuit invasion Of Eng
land, nor Of their designs to subjugate the
empire. IF the .Jesuits have any inten-
ton, he added. ''they might save them
selves great deal of trouble, for they
would be entirely unsuccessful
When this matter had been thus dis
posed Of, Mr.. Lloyd asked the Secretary
of war whether it was true that on the
3lst of May, in procession Of Roman
Catholics in Bayswater, a canopy over
the cardinal archbishop was borne by
four soldiers of her majesty life guards
in the uniform Of their regiment. and
whether the war office approved Of such
conduct - Mr.. Hardy replied that the
charge was true. The soldiers had ask
ed leave to attend the ceremony in ques-
ton, and it was granted as it was against
regulations for soldiers to be out of uni
form, thev went in uniform ; they carried
canopy, not only over the cardinal, but
over the host. which The cardinal carried
in his hands. No military offcnse was
committed by the soldiers This was the
purport Of the secretary reply, and the
house chcered it.
''PoOr Tom Mar>l1ail.,'
Many years ago, When the science of
phrenology first began to attract public
attention, lecturer of that sort. brim
full Of enthusiasm, turned up in Louis
Vile, and gave series Of Talks to the
people, and examined large number of
heads, made charts at so much each. and,
in short, developed quite an amount Of
hidden vice and virtue which had not
been before even suspected among the
good people Of that city. Tom Marshall
was present and enjoyed the exercises.
After the affair was over a crowd adj
journed to the Gait House to post books
and render judgment on the science it.
SELF Tom said he could examine heads
as we'll as anybody--it was all hunbug,
penny catching business-and to satisfy
the people he was right, he would take

the parlor adjoining and make
the experiment, although he was little
