VOTES ALREADY POLLED 997 . FIFTH APPLICATION . $ jtojjal $£ tojmk Jiigtfttt & m : for § JOJJS . OCTOBER ELECTION , 1877 . Tho favour of the Votes and Interest of the Governors and Subscribers is earnestly solicited on behalf of SOLOMON HIRAM SHURY , AGED NINE TEARS . Son of Bro . Wtitii . it SUCRY , of Myland , Colchester , who is now in his 75 th year . Bro . SHUBY was formerly engaged hi the Circulation Department of the Post Office , but , owing to severe attacks of neuralgia in the h * nd , and defective Vision , consequent upon cataract , ho was compelled to resign his position when at the age of 5-1 years . His only permanent income since that time has been a pension of JEV 1 a year , to which he was entitled on account of his service , and he has had to encroach continually upon his savi gs , till they are now quite exhausted . Consequently he cannot possibly provide for the boy ' s education , as ho did for his children by his first marriage , and it will be a great comfort to him in his now declining days to seo the lad elected into tho Institution . When in the full possession of health , Bro . SHURY was a moan active Mason . He was initiated in tho Saint John's Lodge , Hampstead , No . l ()( i ( now 1 G 7 ) in 1818 , and , alter passing through tho intermediate offices , eventually became W . M . When , in 18 ( 51 , the state of bis health compelled him to remove from the District , he tendered his resignation , and tho brethren at once elected him an honorary member , in recognition of his valuable services to his mother Lodge . Bro . SIIURV . " shortly afterwards joined the Wellington Lodge , No . 518 , as a country member ; and became a member of the Angel Lodgo , Colchester , No . 61 , in 1808 ; and ho is still a subscriiiinjr member to both these Lodges . Ho was exalted in the Domatic Chapter , No . 177 , in 1852 , and was elected to the Third Chair , but the continued unsatisfactory state of his health compelled him to resign . He was also one of the founders of the Mou t Lebanon Chapter . No . 73 . When the present applicant was a child in arms , Bro . Suunv ' s position enabled him to make himself , wife , nnd child , Life Subscribers of tho Boy ' s Institution , not thinking at the time that he should ever be compelled to avail himself of its benefits , aud he has , besides this , done all in his power to excite in others an interest in the Masonic Charities . Altogether he has contributed to the funds of the Grand Lodge for the long period of TWENTY -NI . NK YEARS . The case is strongly recommended ( among others ) bg Tho Bight Worshipful Bro . E . J .

Our Weekly Budget

OUR WEEKLY BUDGET

THE Queen has returned to Balmoral after her week ' s sojourn at Loch Maree . The Duke of Connaught reached the Castle on Saturday , and Mr . Cross , the Home Secretary , arrived on Tuesday , the day of Her Majesty ' s return , sis Minister in attendance . Last Thursday , Prince Leopold arrived at Taymouth Castle , on a visit to the Earl

and Countess of Breadalbane . Great preparations had been made at Aherfeldy for the reception of His Royal Highness , and among those who contributed most effectively to the success of the proceedings were the brethren of the Tay and Lyon Lodge , No . 270 on the roll of Scotland , who

erected one of the thi-ee triumphal arches which made the display so imposing . The Aherfeldy Volunteers were also in attendance , and so were the pupils of the Pechney School . It is supposed the Prince will pay a visit to Sir

Coutts and Lady Lindsay , of Balcarres , at Balcarres House , and that on Friday next he will be present at the annual meeting of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St . Andrews , of which he is Captain .

On Thursday last , the Prince and Princess of Wales crossed over from Cowes to Portsmouth , in the Royal Yacht Osborne . The former landed and left by train for Marlborough House , while the latter returned to Cowes . On Saturday evening , the Prince and suite visited the

Folly Theatre , and on Monday he started for Newburgh Hall , near York , the residence of Sir George Wombwell , Bart ., whose guest he was to remain till yesterday or to-day . His Royal Highness left King's Cross Station at noon by the ordinary train , and reached York a few minutes before

5 p . m . While the saloon was being detached and a special train being made up for the remainder of the journey , the Prince had the capacity and construction of the station explained to him by Mr . Leeman , M . P . ; but he did not quit the carriage . In due course , the special started for

Ooxwold , the other occupants of the Royal Saloon being Colonel Teesdale and Sir George Wombwell . Some efforts had been made at decoration at the little station , and having waited to inspect these and expressed to Mr . Welburn , who

had the management of the train service during the visit , his gratification at the reception accorded him , His Royal Highness departed in company with his host . The visitors assembled at the Hall to meet the Prince included Lord

Calthorpe , Sir Henry Edwards , Bart ., Lord and Lady Dorchester , Viscount and Viscountess Grey de Wilton , & c , & c . Thursday was devoted to partridge shooting , but though birds were plentiful poor bags were made , owing to the lateness of the harvest . On Tuesday , the Prince and

his host paid a flying visit to Captain R . C . Vyner , and , on retiring , visited the annual show of the Easingwold Agricultural Society . As His Royal Highness had been expected , there was a large and enthusiastic attendance of

visitors . Yesterday he was to be present at a garden party in Duucombe Park , the seat of the Earl of Feversham , and visit Rivault Abbey . To-day , it is believed , he will leave Newburgh , and proceed northward to Abergeldie , where he will be joined by the Princess .

Up to Wednesday evening the Indian Famine Relief Fund at the Mansion House had reached the sum of

£ 192 , 500 , of which £ 155 , 000 had already been remitted to Madras , so that b y to-day the amount of £ 200 , 000 will have been greatly exceeded . Among the contributions received on Wednesday were £ 1 , 000 from the Committee of Lloyd ' s , with a further sum of £ 1 , 300 contributed amongst

the members ; Birmingham , third instalment of £ 1 , 000 , Leicester £ 1 , 000 , Cheltenham £ 600 , Covo ; . lry £ 300 , the Cutlers' Company 100 guineas , the Nati <> ; ii Bank of India 100 guineas , Messrs . Huntley and Palm' r £ 100 , the
