The Alexandra Lodge , Hornsea , No . 1 , 511 . —it will be recollected that , about three months ago , a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons was established at Hornsea , near Kinjrston . upon-HtiU , a dispensation having been granted by the Earl of Zetland , the R . W . Grand Master of tho Province . The progress made by this young Lodge has been most marked , and the manner in Avhich the
working is carried on reflects the highest credit on the W . M ., Bro . Thomas Gates , and his staff of officers . The interior fittings have now been completed , and the Lodgo presents an unique and elegant appearance . A superb suite of furniture has lately been added , and rare and valuable copies of the Holy Bible have been presented by Bros . William Shepherdson , H . J . Amphlett and John
Sbnttlewortb . A handsomely mounted chart of Masonry , prepared by the deputy Grand Master of tho Province , Bro . John Pearson Bell M . D ., has also been presented to the ' Lodge by Bro . Charles Lewis . A largo number of names have been presented of persons desirous of joining the Lodgo ; but we are
pleased that a wise discrimination is being exercised as to the admission of members . The object aimed at seems to be to gain a select body of working Masons , rather than to secure merely numerical strength ; and the admission of several clergymen and gentlemen of influence in the Holderness district augurs well for the future pros-

" PSYCHO , " AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL .
The movements of Pst / cJio , which are twice daily represented by Messrs . Maskelyno and Cooke , at tho Egyptian Hall , continue to attract large audiences , and still remain a mystery to all who witness them . The figure , which is less than two feet high , and isolated upon a column of clear glass , makes calculations in a very short time , and works snms of multiplication and division with great precision ; but the great feat of tho automaton is its power of
playing Whist , which it does , with three gentlemen from the audience , with as much ease as an experienced player , keeping a correct account of the score . Other feats , such as drawing a card , previously selected by one of the audience , from the pack , and naming others without seeing them , are correctly performed by Psycho . Tho remainder of the entertainment is of an interesting character , the " Chinese plate dancing , " by Mr . Maskelyne , and the " illustrations of character , " by Mr . Fritz Eenhard , being especially good .
Farewell morning and evening benefits will take place on Monday next at the Alhambra Theatre on the occasion of the retirement of Bro . John Baum from the management . The programme comprises " The Wrong Man in the Right Place , " in which the celebrated
Yokes Family will appear by permission of Bro . F . B . Chatterton ; " The Rough Diamond ; " A Miscellaneous concert by Mr . Lindsey Sloper , & c . ; Two acts of the Opera Boufte , " Wittinaton , " comprising " The Grand Barbaric Ballott ; " comic ballet by the Lauri family , and a now Operetta , " The fifteenth of October .
