M . E Z ., and tho Second and Third Principals—all good and worthy Masons . He had during the past year ample opportunities of observing the zeal and ability of Comp . Festa , to whom the success of both the Lodgo and Chapter was in a large measure due , and who was extremely popular in the Craft . He was
ably supported by Comp * . Hodges aud Biooks , nnd the other Officers of the Chapter . Ho himself retired from office with the certain knowledge that , his successor and his Officess would perform their dnties with credit to themselves and the Chanter . Comp . Festa , in response , said ho hardly knew how io express to Comp .
Montague Guest his thanks for tho Haltering remarks ho had used in reference to himself . If in the position of M . E . Z . lie should succeed in obtaining their approval , he should bo perfectly satisfied , and ho could only express a hopo that when he left that , chair he should deserve their thanks as much as his predecessor . Comp .
Festa then proposed tho health of tho roth big First Piiucip d , Cemp . Montague Guest thanked the Comp anion ? , heartily for the reception the toast had met with at , their hands . Ho felt unworthy of the compliment that had been paid him . IIo had not , perhaps , done all that ho shonld have done during his rear of office , bnfc he
had felt mnch pleasure and satisfaction at the position of both Lodgo and Chapter , and the compliment paid to him in naming them after himself . Ho had put down the prosperity of tho Chapter especially to the interest iaken in it , by such Masons an tho M . E . Z ., to whom it owed its existence . The M . E . Z . then proposed tho health
of tho Grand Scribe E ., Comp . SlmhveU E . Ckvke , who had generously come forward to help the infant Chapter , for which they hoped they should havo grateful hearts . Comp . Colonel Shadwcll H . CJerke raid it wns very kind of the M . E . Z . to refer to his services in the way be had done . If . seamed
but the other day that he had ins-tailed Comp . Montague Guest as First Principal , and now he had the pleasure of installing his successor . He was sure the Chapter would have a successful future . Tho M . E . Z . next proposed tho health of the Visitors . No Lodge or Chapter was more pleased than the Montagno Guest to entertain
their friends . They had present a vory distinguished visitor from the other side of tho ocean , and he trusted he wonld take back with him a favourable opinion of English Masonry ; they had also present many other Companions , who wero too well known to need any words of introduction or commendation from him . Comp . Ti'ton
D . G . M . of tho District of Now York responded . Tho next toast was thafc of the Charities , and the M . E . Z . referred , in very complimentary terms , to the interest taken in the Charities by Comp . Frank Richardson , who was one of the most active aud valued members of the Girls' Institution . Comp . Frank Richardson , in reply , said
it was a subject on which ho could dilate for an hour . He referred to the recent Festival of the Benevolent Institution , remarking that it was highly creditable to tho Craft that such a large sum should , in these bad times , ho collected . The Boys' School was an admirable Institution , but if , was with the Girls'School he was
more intimately associated , and iu this he felt the deepest interest . They could not make them Masons , bnt they did their best to make them fitted fur tho battle of life . Tier were not overworked , but they were well worked , and they must all fee ! the liveliest satisfac fciou that tho Educational Statistics f . howed thafc tho Girls ' ' School
was at tho top of all similar Institutions in England , —th-iso returns proved that the money subscribed by tho Craft was well applied , aud lie trnsted the coming Festival of tho Girls' School would prove as good as that of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution . The toast of the Officers , responded to by Comps . Slyman and Henwood ,
brought a very pleasant and successful meeting to a close . We should mention thafc the proceedings were enlivened by some excellent singing , tho artistes being Signor Maestro Sala , Signor Monoid Bocca ( late of Covenfc Garden Italiau Opera ) , and two English artistes from tho Criterion Concert .

Prince ' s . —With pleasure we noticed , ou a late visit to ( his theatre , that although " Enemies " has been performed over sixt y times , the piece is almost ns attractive as it was during its first week ' s career . Mrs . Lang-try , as Margaiefc Glenu , plays tho part with moro power and refinement than she has displayed heretofore . Notwithstanding the first two acts drag heavily , the artistes engaged score well , and cerlainly make a success of tho well-conceived

Ferdinand wounds the Duke , and disbelieving the protestations of innocence made by his wife , has her convoyed to the prison for unfortunates . Here Louise is visited by Pierre and Gondinet , a
law ' . or . They , after hearing her story , set themselves to work to procure herrolees \ Meanwhile , Ferdinand res dves npon leaving the country , but finds himself unahlo to do so without once moro seeing his wife . At tho interview which follows she convinces him of her innocence . Happiness , ho - . vovor , does not yet attend the unfortunate

To pub an end to these doubts , tho Visconnt decides to leave tlie phica whero fchoy aro surrounded by so many enemies . Before , however , the time for departure arrives , the profligate Duke
obtains access to tho residence of Ferdinand , and afc an interview with Louise ho administers a narcotic , intending by thafc means fco accomplish his purpose , but tho opportune arrival of Pierre afc the moment tho opiate has done its work again baulks the villain . Ho and the Countess , defeated at every turn , now adopt a different
method , and endeavour to get the Viscount incarcerated as a madman . Tho Cortntess procures an order to commit Pierre to the Bastille , and , threatening him with this , enlists hirn in her service for the pnrposo of conveying fcho deod of interdiction through without delay .

The play is fairly written , and contains
some interesting situations , though much thafc is highly improbable might easily be improved . Miss Do Grey , as Louise , performed creditably , bnfc scarcely did . jnstiee either Lolier-ielf or to the part .
