United Grand Lodge.
We have been favoured with copy of the authorised " Report of Proceedings in connection with tbe Establishment of the Grand Lodge of Ancient , Free and Accepted Masons of South Australia . " It is a full record , and confirms the opinion we have before expressed as to the
regularity of tho steps taken both before and at the cstablishment of the Grand Lodge . Everything appears to have been done deliberately aud in order , and it is impossible for any body of brethren to have shown greater respect for the parent G . Lodges from which the Lodges in S . Australia
derive their origin than our South Australian friends . We shall describe the contents of this Report in some future number , but as we have seen it suggested considerable minorities of the members of several Lodges were unfavourable to the change , we lose no time in declaring that
such a suggestion is tbe reverse of true . Of , the 1288 English , 373 Irish , and 411 Scotch brethren , or together 2072 , no less than 1633—namely , 1029 English , 277 Irish , and 327 Scotch—gave their adhesion to the movement in writing ; 392 gave no answer to the circular letter
addressed to them ; and only 39 declined to be parties to the change . As regards Lodges , 18 out of the 20 English , 4 of 7 Irish , and all of the 6 Scotch Lodges voted unanimously for the Establishment of the Grand Lodge ; 1 English and 1 Irish voted in its favour , but with 1 and 2
dissentients respectively ; 1 English Lodge sent no official return of the result , but the majority of the members have already joined the S . Australian Masonic Union , and a ? -e pledged to the movement ; 1 Irish Lodge sent no official
return , and 1 other Irish Lodge did not muster in sufficient numbers , but the majority of the members are favourable . Thus our brethren in this colony appear to have been practicall y , if not literally , unanimous in behalf of independence .
The thirtieth Annual Convocation of the fGrand Royal Arch Chapter of California was held in San Francisco in -o-pril last , under the presidency of M . E . Comp . Leon . E . jPratt , Grand High Priest , as many as fifty-three Chapters being represented .. From the Report it appears that the
Receipts , including Balance forward , amounted to 13 , 848 dollars , and the expenditure to 7 , 073 dollars , tho rand in hand being " 17 , 638 dollars . Companion Jon . D . Hines was elected Grand High Priest , aud Comp . Thoman Hubbard Caswell re-elected Grand Secretarv .

—; u ; HORACE S . ALPASS P . G . STANDARD BEARER . Death is " running a muck" among our Provincial celebrities . It is only the other day that we chronicled tho death of Bro . Hickman P . G . A D . O . and D . P . G . M . Hants and Isle of Wight . On Sunday , Bro . Alpass , Provincial Grand Secretary West Lancashire , passed away , to the
regret of a numerous circle of friends and the Craft at larsyo . Bro . Allpass was a most indefatigable worker , a distinonished member of all degrees , and a hearty supporter of our Institutions , as well as of tbe Charitable Association connected with his Province . The duties of Secretary of
so large a district as that comprised within the limits of West Lancashire must bo heavy , and it will bo no easy task to find a successor to our deceased Brother . To the Province of which he was so distinguished a member , to his family , and to his large circle of friends , we tender our most respectful sympathy .
THE LATE ALDERMAN HICKMAN , J . P . AT noon on Thursday , 28 th nit ., the remains of Alderman Hickman , J . P ., Deputy Prov . Grand Master of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Freemasons , were interred in the Southampton Cemetery , amid many marks of respect . The coffin was of polished oak , and when placed upon the fonr-horse hearse was entirely hidden by wreaths sent by societies and friends of the deceased . Mrs . Hickman and the Dear relatives were the principal mourners , the procession being joined by the Mayor and Corporation , representatives of local
bodies and societies , with a large number of Freemasons , amongst whom were Bros . J . E . Le Feuvre Prov . G . Sec , R . J . Rastrick Prov . G . Trea ., 0 . A . Jellicoe , G . Snelling , T . P .

We have to acknowledge receipt of copy of Brother Hughan ' s now work on tho English Rito of Freemasonry , especially in connection with the Royal Arch Degree . We have just had time to glance through its contents , and have
seen enough to convince ns of its great value , and that it deals thoroughly , if not exhaustively , with a subject of recognised difficulty . A review of it will appear at an early date .
Wo have great pleasure in announcing that tho Earl of Kintore , G . M . of tho Mark Grand Lodge , has declared his intention of issuing to Bro . A . F . Godson , Deputy Provincial Grand Mas tor ( Craft ) Worcestershire , a patent
of appointment as P . G . M . M . M of tho same Province . Bro Godson is deservedly popular , both within and outside Worcestershire , and the wholo Craft will be delighted to hear of this additional honour which is about to bo conferred on him .

Neuralgia , gouty pangs , aud flying muscular pains , very distressing' to a delioato system , may bo readily removed by rubbing this Ointment upon tho affected p : irt , after it has been fomented with warm water .

IJIPIIOVEMENTS IN RAILWAY CARRIAGES . —Tho London and North Western Railway Company have recently brought into use a number of new carriages whioh have been built expressly for the Fast Trains between London and Manchester , and between London and Liverpool . These carriages , which have provision for first , second , and third classes , and differ from the ordinary carriages heretofore used
in being considerably larger and heavier , are construcled on steel underframes with eight wheels ( the front and trailing pairs being fitted with Mr . P . W . Webb ' s radial axles ) , and are forty-two feet in length and eight feet six inches in width . Thoy run with great steadiness at the high speed maintained by this line in its Express Services by which the journey from London to Manchester 13 covered
in four and a quartor hours , and that from London to Liverpool in four and a half hours . In order to comply as far as possible with the different views entertained by railway travellers with regard to the question of saloons and compartments , tho London and North Western Railway Company have , in tho construction of tho first class carriages of this now stock , produced an ingonions combination
ot both systems , whereb y compartments suitable for small and large parties , as well as saloon accommodation for those who prefer it , are provided . Corridor passages afford easy acces . 4 to all parts of the carriage . Lavatory aud toilet accommodation is made a special feature , and theio avo also separate smoking compartments for gentlemen as
well as a boudoir for ladie 3 . An attendant accompanies the saloons , and refreshments can bo obtained on route . The wholo of the carriages are fitted np in a luxurious stylo , and are now running on the trains leaving Euston at 1 O 10 a . m ., 12-10 noon , and 40 p . m . ; Manchester at 7 "< 15 a . m . and 4 ' 15 p . m ., and Liverpool at 11 a . m . each day .
