Remarks Upon "Q.'S" Criticisms On The Dunckerley Question.

—it seems contrary to human nature for a mother to suffer her only child to be brought up in ignorance , or very nearly so , and to snbjoct him at the tender age of ten to tho hardships of a man of war , when a solitary noto from her to the Prince might have been tho means of raising that child to a very high position in society . Again Bro . Danckerley waB certainly no fool . Ho possessed the art of

ingratiating himself into favour , and he was known to Sir Edward Walpole , who was willing to promote his interest in an honourable way . Mrs . Dunckerley died 9 th January 1760 . George the Second died 25 th October following , at the ago of soventy-se . vou . Now , why did tho shrewd Bro . Dunckerley wasto those precious nine-months or more ? Why did not he at once make himself kuown to the king ? He

was not ( he says ) acquainted with manners or forms of tho Court , but why did he not candidly make known all ho knew to his friond Sir Edward Walpole , who surely had tho moans of making it kuown to the ^ king ? And again , why did Dunckerley make no effort to give his information to any of the members of the royal family , until after the death of Mrs Pinkuev , tho only witness he had to verify his

singular story . And I may further add , as Mrs . Pinkney was tho only one to whom Mrs . Dunckerley revealed the parentage of her son , why did not Dunckerley tako Mrs . Pinkuey before a justice of tho peace , and cause her to make an affidavit to the fact ? I am aware of Iris excuses , but to mo thoy seem insufficient . When , therefore , tho above inexplicable facts are taken in connexion with the obituarv

notice in the Gentleman ' s of 1795 , written evidently by one who was posted up in the subject , and whose statement was never contradicted in the said Gentleman ' s Magazine , I must come to tho conclusion , that the so-called Masonic version of Dunckerley ' s parentage , is not quite as certain as our Masonic orthodox writers and Masonic ] Cyclopcodists have made it out to be . Indeed , Tichbome presented i

much stronger evidence of his identity than Dunckerley did of his parentage Thousands of Englishmen and many Americans still believe that Tichbome ( or whatever else his name may bo ) wa 3 wronged ; but yot , one ended his days in Hampton Court , and the other may end his days in prison . And who knows whether in either of those cases actual jnstico was done ? There seems to bo somewhere somo fnrthor information about

Dunckerley , for if [ rightly recollect , Dr . Oliver says , somewhere , that Dnuckerley ' s son was intemperate , and Bro . Oliver monrns over the scion of royalty being compelled to get his living as a common bricklayer , and that he died a drunkard , & o . It is not impossible therefore , that some fnrthcr hints may yet be found to throw light npon the life of Dunckerley .

It is needless to disenss the minor questions which crept into this discussion , snch for instance , as Bro . Q . ' s definition of " fault finding , " tho date of Dunckerley ' s lecture . " It is all bosh , " & c . But I must caution Bro . Q . against a repetition of the blunder in his letter of 28 th September . I fraternnlly advise him , with tho most friendly feelings , that whenever ho finds himself irritated by an article in a

Masonic paper , ho should immediately clap u , wet cold towel upon his head , and then read it again , for had he done so when reading the paper of loth June he would not have charged me with npsetting the "Masonic version . " K tin ' s paper should really shake tho brethren ' s faith in the so-called Masonic version , Bro" Q . " has to thank his own over-zenl in inducing me to read the article printed in 1796 .

- Briefly , then , when I first read tho narrative printed in 1793 , I saw no reason to doubt that Dunckerley was a natural sou of Georgo the Second . When I first read the article in the Gentleman ' s Magazine of 1795 , 1 was puzzled as to which account was the true one . But when I finished reading tho sequel , printed iu 1796 , I came to the conclusion that if Georgo tho Third would have submitted the

Dunckerley story to the judgment of such a lawyer as Sir Alexander E . J . Cockburn , Dunckerley would never have received £ 800 a year , wonld never have been a Provincial G . M ., would never havo introduced amongst tho moderns tho Hoyal Arch , Templarism , Kadosh , and other moonshine , and would never havo figured in our annals as a " Masonic Luninary . " BOSTON U . S ., October 18 th 1878 .

ArrENDix . —The following I abridge from Lord John Hervey ' s "Reign of Georgo II . " Sir Robert Walpole told Lord Chancellor King that George the 2 nd constantly wrote long letters to tho Queen , of what ho did every day , and particularly of his amours , and that the Queen replied in similar

long letters , approving of his amours , " not scrnpling to say , that she was but one woman , and an old woman , and that he might have moro and younger women , "by which perfect submission to his will , she effected whatever she desired , without which it was impossible to keep him within bounds . " ( Life of Lord King , in Campbell ' s Lives of the Lord Chancellors . )

Again , when the King formed his attachment in Hanover to Madame Walmoden , he informed the Queen , by letter , of every step he took in the affair , such as the growth of his passion , tho progress of his applications , the sum of money he paid for obtaiuing her love , and the final success . He wrote in addition to tho Queen , " You must love her because she loves me . "

The 27 th chapter of the Heart of Midlothian shows the degree of intimacy between the Queen . and her " good Lady Snffolk . " Pope celebrated the said Lady Suffolk in verse , and if I recollect aright , Dean Swift used to visit her . Thackeray , in hi 3 lecture of George II ., says : —

" As I peop into George II ., St . James ' s , I see crowds of cassocks rustliug up the back stairs of tho ladies of the court stealthily , tbe clergy slipping purses into their laps . " Lady Yarmouth , one of tho

King ' s mistresses , sold a Bishopric to a court pai' 3 on for £ 5 , 000 . With all these facts beforo me , I really cannot believe Bro . Dunckerley , ihat his mother was deterred by a fenr of shame from making known that the King was the father of her child .

INSTALLATION BANQUET OF THE EB 0 RACUM LODGE , No . 1611 ,

THE annual installation banquet of this young and prosperous Lodgo was held at tho Queen ' s Hotel , York , on Monday , tho 25 th ult ., and was well attended .

W . Valentino W . M . 2-56 P . P . G . Chap ., G . C . Baskett S . W . 236 , A . Buckle J . W . 236 , J . Hauly W . M . el ct 295 ( I . C . ) ., W . Harris Sec . 295 , J . B . Somerset I .

Ilol'on reminding to that of the Grand Lo 3 ge , an I B'o . J . Toll to tha t- of Prov .

Grand Lodge . Bro . T . B . Whytehead then gave the health of tho W . M ., which was received with reat heartiness , lie said that after a very long absence from England , ho had returned four years ago , ,:, Masou , to make many pleasant acquaintances , and none moro so thau that of the W . M ., with whom he bad been associated intimately in Masonry during that period , and he knew no brother who stood s ? cond

to Bro . Cumberland in point of Masonic zeal and a true fraternal spirit . He wns very proud to havo had the honour anl privilege of installing him as W . M . of a Lodgo of which he was ono of the first founders , aud he wished him health , strength , aud a happy term of office . In responding , the W . M . thanked the brethren for their good wishes , and said ho wonld take that oarly opportunity of saying that

he hoped groat care would be exorcised in the proposal of candidates . Brothrou should remember that they had not themselves alone to consult in this matter , but that they must remember the comfort aud pleasure of the other members of the Lodgo , and novor attempt to introduce any one as a candidate whose presence they did not think wonld contribute to the universal happiness and harmony of the Lodge . The W . M . then proposed tho I . P . M . and Installing Master ,

Bro . T . B . Whytehead , which was very warmly received , and suitably responded to , Bro . Whytehead thanking the brethren very cordially for their strong support during his happy year , and expressing a hope that it might bo oxtended with tho same waamth to his successor . Prosperity to ( ho Eboracum Lodge was proposed by Bro . Valentine , W . M . of tho York Lodge 23 G , who spoke of tho gratification with which he noticed the progress of tho Lodgo , and above all tho exoellonb inauuer iu which it was rul-. d aud conducted . If ho had even

had a doubt ou tho question , it would havo beeu removed ab this time j but he had always hold that the establiahmontof tho Eboracum Lodgo was a right and proper step , and he wished it every success . " The Sister Lodges of the Province " was proposed by Bro . T . B . Whytehead , and replied to by Bro . Buckle J . W ., of the York Lodgo 236 . Bro . Buckle , in the course of his remarks , said that he thought

Masons too often lost sight of that part of their duty which came under the head of Charity . Charity did not consist only iu giving . "Though I give all my goods to feed the poor , and havo not charity , I am nothing , " said a very old divine . There was the charity which tried to hide the faults of a brother , which put a kind construction on his actions , which hoped the best , and believed tho best , and was not

carping aud anxious to display tho ioibles and weaknesses of others . This ho maintained was real charity , not to lose sight of the actual practical " giving , " but to look to higher aims , aud to work oat tho real meaning of tho word " charity " in its highest souse . Bro . C . G . Padel S . VV . 1611 proposed tho Visiting Brethren , congratulating the members of the Lodgo upon tho constaut number of visitors whom

they had the pleasure of so frequently eutcrtaimng . Bro . G . 0 . Baskett S . W . 236 , and Bro . Hanley S . W . 295 , respoudod . The W . M . proposed tbo Wardens and Otficors of tho Lodge , to which tlie Wardens responded . Bro . Rowland P . M . proposed tho Masonic Charities in happy torms , to which the W . M . responded . Bro . Rowland took

occasion to noto the service this very young Lodge h : id already done in the way of sending up Stewards with good li-ds , and rejoiced to know that a continuance in well doing was contemplated . Bro . T . D . Smith J . D . proposed tho Ladies , and Bros . M . Varvill and A . T . B . Turner responded . The Tyler ' s toast then brought a very happy evening to a conclusion . The toast list was well worth notice as a work of lithographic art . It bore a series of appropriate mottos

selected from tho ancient charges and regulations , aud ou the first page was a photograph of an ancient Masonic flagon , the property of the Eboracum Lodge , the origiual occupying a prominent position in front of the W . M ., and being usod as a loving cup in the course of the banquet . Some capital songs varied the proceedings , contributed by Bros . Blagbro , Wilkinson , Choeseman , Todd , and Flint . Bro . G . H . Simpson Organist effectively presided at the pianoforte .
