The Lodge Of The Nine Muses
S . G . W . 1779 ; the Hon . Wm . Ward , Sir Nic . Nugent , Bart ., both P . S . G . W . ' s ; John Hull P . J . G . W ., and first W . M . of the NineMnsos ; and Chev . Bartholomew Ruspini . while No . " 330 L . of Nine Muses , St . James ' s-street , " is one of the twenty-six contributing Lodges . It may not be
out of place to mention—though in doing so we aro necessarily deviating from the strict record of the Lodge career —we say , it may not perhaps be out of place to state briefly that this subscription was raised for the purpose of paying off the debts duo on account of the Hall , which at the time
were found to be very considerable . In accordance , therefore , with the resolution as given above , it was resolved to raise £ 2 , 000 by loan , without interest , at the discretion of subscribers ; £ 25 to be the limit for each subscriber , and one hnndred to be the number of subscribers ; the moneys
so subscribed to be repaid , in equal proportions , among the subscribers , at such time as the Hall fund should admit . It was further resolved that an honorary medal should be
presented to the subscribers , and , if a Master Mason , the wearer of such should be entitled to be present at , and vote in all , future meetings of Grand Lodge . The sum was soon raised and applied as intended .
We have exhausted our limited stock of informationwhich must be taken for what it is worth—as to the earlier and more obscure portions of the annals of this Lodge . If any of the particulars we have furnished should turn out to be of value , it will be a source of satisfaction to us to
feel that we have done somo service , no matter how trivial it may be , towards the greater elucidation of the history of so worthy and worshipful a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons . May the same prosperity attend it in the future as ^ in the past . ! And with this wish we wish you , 0 ye Nine Muses , heartily farewell !

LATE PROV . G . M . SOUTH WALES , EASTERN DIVISION . AT the recent installation of Bro . Sir George Elliott , as Provincial Grand Master of the Eastern Division of South Wales , at Aberdare , no reference was
made to the rare ability with which Bro . Talbot , assisted by his Deputy , Bro . Morris , had administered the affairs of the Province for eleven years . This omission gave grave offence at the time to several of the leading
brethren in the Province , and it was felt that something should be done to remedy the grievance . Owing to the continued absence of one or two very influential Past
Grand Officers of the Province , nothing , however , was done ; the feeling of dissatisfaction gained strength , so that upon the return to South Wales of the influential Masons above
spoken of , it at once found vent , ancl has resulted in a firm , but temperate'Memorial , signed by nearly all the Past Grand Officers of the Province , addressed to Sir George Elliott , the P . G . M ., requesting him to call a Grand Lodge of
Emergency , at an early date , and at such place as may be most convenient to him , when the grave omission may be rectified , and the feelings of deep respect and warm regard to the late chief of the Province may have fitting
expression . The rapidity and completeness with which the Memorial has been got up speaks volumes for the earnest wish of the Masons of South Wales that the conspicuous merits of their late Provincial Grand Master should be acknowledged and properly recognised .
We understand that the Provincial Grand Lodge of Essex is to be held next Thursday , at Romford , under the banner of the Hope and Unity Lodge , No . 214 . In consequence of the continued indisposition of the Rev . P . G . M ., Bro . R . J . Bagshawe , the R . W . D . P . G . M . ( Bro . Matthew Clark ) will preside over Provincial Grand Lodge .
HoLto-im's Puts . —The chiefest Wonder of modern times . —This incomparable medicine increases the appetite , strengthens the stomach , cleanses the liver , corrects biliousness , prevents flatulency , purifies the system , invigorates the nerves , and reinstates sound health . The enormous demand for these Pills throughout the glohe astonishes everybody , and a single trial convinces the most that medicine
sceptical no equals Holloway ' s Pills in its ability to remove all complaints incidental to the human raee . They are a blessing to the afflicted , and a boon to all that labour under internal or external disease . The purification of the blood , removal of all restraint from the secretive organs , and gentle aperitive action aro the prolific sources of the extensive curative range of Holloway ' s Pills .
