Freemasonry At Falmouth.

covered during tho evoniug that his great , great grandfather , the celebrated historian aud antiquary of tho county , was initiated as a member of the Lodgo in 175 L , and was its first Chaplain . Several votes , expressive of the character of tho meeting , to bo recorded on tho minutes , wero duly passod , and all united ia considering tho event as one not surpassed in importance in the annals of the Lodge , tho whole

of the proceedings having atforded the utmost satisfaction . 1 he following wore present iu honour of tho occasion , viz . . *—Bros . W . J . Hughan P . S . G . D . of England , Colonel J . W . Peard D . P . G . M . of Cornwall , William C . Borlase , P . S . A ., P . P . G . S . W ., John Vivian P . P . G . S . B ., W . F . Newman P . P . G . S . D ., F . Dennis P . P . G . P ., T . 0 . Polglase P . P . G . A . D . C , Michael Little P . M . 75 , W . H . Dunstan P . P . S . of \ V .,

Harry Tilly P . G . Rog ., W . L . Fox WM . 75 , John II . Miohell P . M . 589 , J . Wallace S . W . 75 , XV . D . Rigors J . W ., Richard Carter P . P . G . Organist aud Sec . 75 , and visitors frem Lodges beyond the county , as also a largo number of the members of No . 75 . At tho supper several happy speeches were made , and much regret was expressed at tho unavoidable absence of the P . G . M ., tho Earl of Mount Edgcmnbo .

We extract the following from the Norwich Argus : — The Craft in Norwich have at length fallen upon what thoy consider comfortable quarters away from tho contaminating influence of hotels and taverns . Tho residence of tho late Mr . H . Bolingbroke , situate at 23 St . Giles ' -street , coming to tho hammer , a couple of speculating Masons wont in for tho purchase thereof , and with Bro .

II . A . Woostor Reeves as Secretary , and " having the cordial support of R . W . Prov . G . M . Lord Suftiold , a Masonic Club has been started with all the usual facilities of such places . Subscription , ono guiuea per annum . " It remains to bo seen how this will succeed . Anyhow , three Lodges havo already located themselves at No . 23 for their usual monthly meetings— Walpolo taking the initiative ( with a

splendid opening last Thursday evening ) , followed by Cabbell and Perseverance , and it is expected Social and Sincerity will como in shortly , and , may be , the aristocratic Union ; this latter , however , we doubt , nnlcss his lordship smiles benignly and says yes . Provincial Grand Lodgo this year is also to bo held in this houso , aud as the ruling powers are going in strictly for economy , and do not intend advertising in the local press , wo give their announcement free , gratis ,

for nothing . Major Peurioe , D . P . G . M ., is uuacconufcably averse to newspaper reports of Masonic banquets , and expressed himself to that effect at the opening of tho now North Walshatn ( Suffield ) Lodge the other day , aud yet half a column appeared in our non-Masonic daily contemporary—full of inaccuracies , we admit , nevertheless it must havo been supplied by a brother standing well iu tho Craft . How was this ? Here is tho circular above alluded to : —

" PROVINCIAL GKA . VD LODOK OF NOIU-OLK . " —Tho Right Honourable Lord Sulliold , K . C . B ., R . W . G . M ., Major Pounce D . P . G . M . —Annual Provincial Grand Lodge of Ancient , Free , and Accepted Masous of this Province will bo holden at No . 215 St . Giles ' -street , Norwich , on Friday , 17 th Octobsr 187 'J , at half-past twelve o ' clock precisely , when and where the provincial Grand Officers , Past Officers , with the

Worshipfnl Masters , Past Masters , and Wardens are summoned to attend , aud at which all Master Masons arc invited to bo present . [ Here follows tho agenda . ] At half-past threo o ' clock tho brethren will assemble iu tho Sohool-rooni in the Cathedral Cloisters , and from thence proceed , iu their Masonic Clothing , to the Cathedral , for Divine Service , at four o'clock , when the Rov . 11 . T . Griffith ,

Feluiingham Rectory , P . G . C , will preach a sermon . H . G . Barwell P . G . Seo . A . Banquet at Cooper's Restaurant , Bank-plain , Norwich , at 6 o ' clock , at which tho ll . W . Prov . G . M . will preside . Tickets 11 / each ( to include half a bottle of champagne ) , to be obtained of XV . Bro . James Dansford P . P . G . S . D ., St . Giles ' -street , Norwich , aud of Bro . H . A . Wooster Eeeves , No . 23 St . Gilos ' -streot , Norwich , not later than Tuesday , the 14 th inst . "

Touching this migration to " Cooper ' s , we have received a letter from " A Mason , " protesting against holding a Masonic banquet " under the roof of tho greatest Atheist iu the Eastern Counties , when lto havo such respectable hotels in our m . dst . " These hotels are

many of them Lodgo houses , held by brethren , who naturally leel aggrieved that thoy should bo passed ovor in favour of one—however good a caterer—who reviles at religion , aud holds Freemasonry iu contempt . The matter has created some stir among the Craft in the Province .
