THE Prince of Wales , as Grand Master , has conferred the position of Provincial Grand Master of Somerset , rendered vacant by the death of the Earl of Carnarvon , upon Viscount Dangarvan , eldest son of the Earl of Cork , Lord-Lieutenant of Somerset .

little or no Masonio experience , and the Provincial Grand Officers and Officers of Craft Lodges throughout the Province muoh regret that before the vacancy was filled up they were not consulted in any way whatever , or invited to make any recommendation . It is
probable , we learn , that the Provincial Grand Lodge , fixed to take place afc Clevedon , ou the 20 tb insfc ., will be postponed , probably until tho installation of fche newly-appointed Prov . G . M . —Bridgwater Mercury .
