Confidence Lodge of Instruction , No . 193 . —This Lodge met on Wednesday , the 9 th inst ., at Masons' Hall Tavern , Ma « ons ' - avenue , Basinghall-street , E . G ., Bro . Aholl oconnVl the ohaiV . There -were also present Bros . Fenner S . W ., Turquand J . W .. T . K . Pitt- Hon See ., Tollis S . D ., Gomm J . D ., Christopher Tyler , E . Gottheil P . M .

Stevens and Rndderf '> r * h respectively , assisted by the brethren . Bro . Jai . Stevens then rose , and addressing the W . M ., expressed his admira'ion of tho manner in which the business of the Lodge was conducted . HP
would certainly make it Ms business as well as bis pleasure to induce his friends seekinsr Masonio instruction to attend this Lodge , as he was sure thoy would hero speedily attain profioienov He also begged to be allowed to make a suggestion , which ho hoped would meet with tho approval of the Preceptor , who , after all , is tbe head of a Lodsre of Instrnotion . In former days ifc wa «
the custom for members of Lodges of this kind to pay friendlv visits to ono another , and ho thought it was a very useful and wholesome custom . Nothing is moro likoly to promote genial fellowship and fraternal regard than for brethren to become known to each other under the circumstances c-f such meetings . Ho would , there , fore , ask whether a certain number of members would bo willing to
pay a visit , sav in two or three month * ' t me , to the United Pilgrims ' Lodge , atthe Surrey Masonic Hall . He had been Secretary of that Lodge , and although not occnpving the position afc the present timo , thought he had still sufficient influence with the members , as well as with Bro . Larlham , the Preceptor , to succeed in arranging such a gathering , and to ensure a hearty welcome . After a few remarks bv
some of the brethren , the matter was allowed to stand over for oonsi . deration . Bro . Gotthiel , in proposing the W . M . for the coming week , observed that the Lodge was frequented by aspiring brethren eager to practise the duties of tho various offices , but they were at the same time generous , unselfish and disinterested , and always willing to give up their own privileges , if necessary , in order to lend a helping hand to
any one standing in need of assistance . The officers 1 n their respective pasitions this evening havo acted in the same spirit , and instead of taking their customary progressive step , have permitted me to pro . pose that Bro . D . Posoner be W . M . for the ensuing wpek . This will give him an opportunity to practise tho duties of the third ceremony ,
Bro . Posener being the W . M . elected of the Upton Lodge , and as he will be installed into office in a few davs , he is most anxions not to fail in the work he is about to undertake . This proposition was carried unanimously . Bro . Posener briefly returned thanks . Bros . T . Meggy P . M . 21 P . G . S . and Jas . Hill 228 were elected joining members .
