An English Lodge On The Site Of Ancient Carthage.

AN ENGLISH LODGE ON THE SITE OF ANCIENT CARTHAGE .

'"HUE town of Golotta is situated to tho south-west of the most J- central portions of the ruins of Carthago , and about a mile and a half from tho Phoenician and Roman harbours of the once famous city . Tho town is built on the shores of tho Mediterranean , and bears precisel y tho same relation to tho Tunisian capital as the Pivions does to Athens . Commanding as it does tho outlet of the canal which unites tho open sea and tho salt-lake , on the western extremity

ot which tho " white-walled city ot Tunis is placed , ifc has always been strongly fortified by the rulers of the Regency , and during tho middle ages many a stirring conflict has occurred nnder its walls . These bastions aud ramparts aro now slowly falling into decay , and the chief Hanger to thorn arises from tho firing of salutes , which invariably contributes to tho destruction of these curious and

timehonoured memorials of corsairs and pirates , of barbaric splendour and Christian chivalry . Louis of France landed in tbe vicinity ol Golctta . In 1535 the united forces of Charles V . and the Knights of Malta appeared before it . We know that the latter claimed the honour of leading tho attack on tho seaward beach . Headed by tho Chevalier Copier , with the standard of the Order in hand , they

leaped into the waves , and lit an hour victory was theirs . Many bravo knights perished in tho attack , aud scarcely ono escaped without a wound . The Golctta became a Spanish fortress for half a century . Again in 1 GJ 0 , tho Knights of Malta , nnder tho command of tho t ' rinci * d'Osia , made a second descent on Goletta , now onco moro in the hands of the Moslem , and succeeded in burning tho Tunisian fleet under tho shelter of its fortifications . For another

century and a halt Golotta was destined to protect the corsairs of its rulers ; but on tho 17 th of April ISlfi , throe salvos of its even then formidable artillery announced the moral victory of Lord Exmouth , who had that morning induced the Boy to sign a treaty abolishing slavery for ever throughout his dominions , and releasing several hundred Furopean prisoners undergoing captivity in the Regency . The

bristling gnus ot tho Admiral s fleet echoed a response , aud Golctta from that day forth has merged its military associations with those of one of the most beautiful and picturesque of watering-places . Its resident population consists of about four thousand souls , almost wholly Europeans . In summer it is the royal residence , and nearly

half the upper class ot lunisiau society migrates thither to enjoy the cool breezes and unrivalled bathing in tho blue waves of the Mediterranean . All vessels load aud unload at Golctta , , and an English railroad , ton miles in length , places ifc in almost hourly communication with Tunis .

Several ot the residents ia Goletta belonged to tho Ancient Carthago Lodge , No . . 1717 E . G ., at Tunis , aud when the number of its members exceeded ono hundred , they determined to apply for a , warrant of thoir own , and this with tho full consent and approbation of the W . M ., Officers and brethren of tho former Lodge . An application was duly signed and transmitted to

Bro . Kingston , the ll . XV . D . D . G . M , who issued a Provisional Warrant to the brethren , empowering them to work pending tho receipt of the charter from Grand Lodgo . The brethren received this document on the 1 st June , and succeeded in obtaining the lease of tho palace of one of the former governors of Goletta , which they expeditiously converted into a Masonic Hall ,

complete even in the most minute details , and appropriately furnished throughout . On tho -1 st June 1870 , the first meeting of the William Kingston Lodge was held , under the presidency of U . Bro . A . M . Broadley D . D . G . M . Malta . The following P . M . ' s assisted at the ceremony ;—W . Bros . Fttnaro , Vais yy , Sulcata , Baron Castcllnttovo and Morpttrgo , together

with the principal officers of No . 1717 K . C . aud the founders of tho now Lodge . Tho D . D . G . M . having read the warrant proceeded to instal Bro . John Edmund Lancaster Barker ( Past J . W . 1717 E . C . ) as W . M .. , according to ancient form . Tho W . M . then invested the following Officers : —Bros . W . Broadley ( D . D . G . M ) Hon . P . M . aud Treasurer , Edward Thay S . W ., Laurence Curletto J . W ., 0 . Engerer Secretary ,

B . Pudoa D . of C , A . Attard S . D ., A . A . Eomiatt J . D ., and A , Ii . u-setti J . G . Tho other founders arc Bros . S . Martina , A . Viffarealo , and L . C-r-ppi . At f , he request of the W . M ., tbe D . D . G . M . assumed tho gavel , antl initiated into Freemasonry Mr . Walter "Vaux , Locomotive Superintendent of tho Tunisian . Railways Company Limited . Thi-s ceremony beiug concluelecl , W . Bro . Broadley delivereel au

He alluded to tho tact that tho Lodge was , by the unanimous desire of the brethren , named tho William Kingston , as a flight mark of their recognition of tbe services rendered to English Masonry iu Tunis by their deservedly popular D . G . M ., Bro . kiii' . tou . lie rend a letter from that brother , now in Engl aud

containing his kindly greetings to tho brethren , aud informing them he hud already despatched the collars anil jewels of tho Otliccrs as , •¦ offering to tho new Lodge . The reading of Bt ' o . Kingston ' s letter produced enthusiastic applause . 'The D . D . G . M . gave a short sketch of tho classical aud meditoval associations cottuectcd with tbe sitc 0 ' the Lodge , aud after giving some practical advice to the member-.
