Michael's Lodgo bears date the 11 th day of September 1795 ; tho number it then boro on the roll of the Grand Loclgo ( Ancients ) was

2 D 0 . At tho Union it was placed ns No . 3 G 7 ; at the renumbering of the Lodges in 1832 it becamo No . 255 , while since 18 G 3 it has stood as No . 211 on the roll . Tho Lodge has , during its career , stood prominently forward , and has had many eminent Masons associated in its government ; while , at tho present day , it seems likely fully to sustain the prestige of the past . The meeting of Tnesday , tho 13 th inst .,

was an eminently successful ono , and Bro . Alfred Withers tho W . M . must be congratulated on terminating his Mastership under such auspicious circumstances . The first bnsiness of the day was a ballot for Mr . Alexander Dickson , Secretary Kent Water Company , who vaa proposed by Bro . Lavers P . M ., and seconded by Bro . John Laver P . M . The result waa unanimous in favour of the candidate . Bro .

Crapper , a candidate for tho second degree , was examined and entrusted . Lodge was opened in the second degree , and Bro . Thring , a candidate for tho third , nnderwent examination . Bro . Crapper waa then introduced , and the W . M . conferred on him the degree of Fellow Craft . Bros . Crapper nnd Thring then retired , and tho Lodgo was opened in tho third degree ; Bro . Thring was re-admitted ,

and the W . M . worked the ceremony of the sublime degree in favour of tho candidate . Lodge was resumed to tho first degree , and the Secretary , who had not been able to attend in tho early part of the proceedings , read the minutes of Inst meeting , which wero confirmed and signed . Mr . Alexander Dickson was next introduced , and received his first lesson in Freemasonry , Bro . Withers rendering this

ceremony , as ho had thoso of the two other degrees , most perfectly . The election of a Worshipful Master for the ensuing twelvemonths was the next bnsiness , and tho S . W . Bro . William Eadcliffe received the suffrages of tho brethren withont one dissenting voice—a result that that worthy brother seemed fully to appreciate . Tho choice of the brethren for the office of Treasurer again fell on Bro . C .

Greenwood P . M . Prov . G . Sec . Surrey , and Bro . T . C . Speight P . M . was re-appointed Tyler . Bros . Young , Martin , and Bach were appointed Auditors . After the Bye-laws had been read by the Secretary , and the transaction of routine business , Lodge was closed . A capital banquet was served in tho largo Dining Hall of tho Albion , and was placed upon the table with tho accessories for which this

establishment is so famed . On tho removal of tho cloth , Bro . Withers proceeded with the toasts customary on theso occasions . After that of the Queen and tho Craft , tho National Anthem was snng , Bro . P . M . Green sustaining the solo parts . In speaking to tho toast of the M . W . Grand Master , the W . M . remarked that our illustrious Prince had given the most earnest attention to tho duties required

of him , and had gained the respect and esteem of Freemasons throughout England . The next toast—tho Pro G . Master , the Deputy G . Master , and the Grand Officers Past and Present—needed not to be expatiated upon . Tho constituents of this illustrious bod y had every reason to be prond of their representatives . Tlie toast was cordially received , after which Bro . Martin favoured the brethren

With " Simon the Cellarer . " Bro . Alfred Green I . P . M . proposed tho health cf the W . M ., this pleasing duty devolved npon him that evening for the last time . He had infinite satisfaction in doing so . In whatever capacity thoy considered tho claims of tho W . M ., whether as the persevering student , the Master of ritual , or for his liberality and generosity as a Mason , Bro . Withers was worthy of their esteem .

All must regard with satisfaction the rapid strides he had made . His rendering of tho ceremonies had been able and conscientious , while the poetry of his eloquence had taken all by surprise . Ho was always ready to extend the warm greeting of fellowship , and his year of Mastership had , indeed , shed a lustre on tlio St . Michael ' s Lodge . After a song from Bro . Kent , tho W . M . returned

thanks , in brief bnt hearty terms , and then came the several toasts of the Initiate , tho Visitors , tho Past Masters , the Charities . To nil these brief replies were made , bnt tho remarks were well to the point . The W . M . elect in dno course received hip nieed of praise , which compliment he gracefully acknowledged . As usual at this Lodgo the musical brethren well exercised themselves ; we may especially mention Bros . Carter , Thring , J . Laver , Bach

and A . Green . One feature of the evening we must not omit to mention . In the banqnetting room was exhibited a capital portrait of the Worshipful Master , painted by a yonng , but we think a rising artist , —Mr . Ward Eobertson . From tho expressions of approval wo heard , it is more than likely we may be called upon to givo an opinion on other works by the same gentleman . The Installation Meeting of the Lodge will take place on Tuesday , the 10 th February .
