Master , Bro . Sir Francis Burdott . The health of tho R . W . Prov ^ Grand Master was heartily proposed by Bro . Thrupp , who said he fel extreme diffidence in giving this toast , a 3 he could not do justice t all tho good qualities that Bro . Sir Francis Burdett possessed ; suffice it to say he was a pure Englishman . They all know him as an abte Mason ; but lie ( tho speaker ) had heard of his popnhrity in
Wilfshire , and elsewhere , as a kind and generous landlord . Sir Francis said it had always been his desire , not to posa as Prov . Grand Master , but to do the best he conld for his fellow men . It had given him great pleasure to assist others with whom he had been associated . The Provinoial Grand Master gave the Deputy Grand Master , and the rest of the Provincial Grand Officer ? , coupled with the name of Bro .

that tbe next Festival of the Benevolent Institution would be held under the presidency of General Brownrigg , the Provincial Grand Master for the neighbouring county of Surrey , when he respeotfully hoped that Bro . Sir Francis Burdett might be kindly induced to support his brother-in-arms by acting as Steward for the Province of Middlesex . The musical arrangements for the evening were entrusted
to Bro . G . S . Graham , who ably fulfilled the task allotted him . He was assisted by Bros . W . Sexton , Charles White , Henry Prenton , and Michael Watson . We may mention here that Bro . Graham , who is a genial and talented artist , will give his Seventeenth Annual Concert , under royal and distinguished patronage , at the St . Andrew's Hall , Balbam , on Thursday , the 26 th inst ,, on whioh occasion he will doubtless receive the snpoort of many of his brother Masons .

Provincial Grand Lodge Of Middlesex.
Following the resolution of Grand Lodge oc tho 6 th nlh , there has beeu issued from Grand Secretary's office to tho Masters of all Lodges under tho Euglish Constitution , a copy of the Rovision of the Book of Constitutions , which the Board of General Purposes submit for tho consideration of tho Craft , and on which it will havo
to determine at special Grand Lodges in February next . It consists of a book of 112 pages and 308 sections , tho drafting and arrangiug of which havo occupied the attention of the Board for eighteen months . The discussion which will ensue on these rules , when brought before Grand Lodge , must be very long , and no doubt the
objections will be uumerous , but it cannot be denied that as they now stand tho new Constitutions are designed for the general welfare of the Order , and must commend themselves to tho goodwill of the best-thinking Freemasons . Taking , however , ' < only the new
arrangement of the rules , the book is far in advance of the volume now in use , inasmuch as the rules are arranged methodically , having regard to their bearing and sequence , and they are all numbered consecutively , so that the number alone will be a complete reference to each rule . —Evening Nevis .
The illuminated address from the Prinoo Edward of Saxe-Weimar Lodge to Lord Charles Beresford is , we hear , to be presented in London , as his Lordship contemplates proceeding to Scotland without delay . It heartily congratulates Lord Charles upon his safe return , after having , in the discharge of his duty , been exposed to
many perils both by sea and by land . The members of the Lodge state that they havo read , with pride and gratification , the accounts of his gallant deeds before the enemy , and of the valuable service he has rendered to his conntry , by which he has worthily maintained the traditions of the distinguished family of which he is a member , and
has shed additional lustre upon the noble profession to whioh he belongs . To the members of the Lodge , of whioh he was tho first Worshipful Master and one of the fonnders , his well merited promo , tion is a source of the greatest pleasure , and the brethren trust that he may be spared many years to be an ornament to the Navyj and to render valuable service to Freemasonry . —Portsmouth Times .
