Masonic Obituary.
gridge , AA . M . 215 , Brother Rowe Past Grand Steward , Brothers Poore Smith and Parry , No . 72 , and Brother Brooks , Grand Steward . The most affecting tribute to the memory of our deceased friend was paid by our excellent Brother Fox , of the British Lodge , whose infirmities compelled him to attend the procession in a Bath chair . Too much praise cannot be given to the Members of the Lodge for the very excellent arrangements made by them , and for the regular
manner in which the whole was conducted . We likewise had the pleasure of observing in the church many ladies of the neighbourhood . Our Brother Halford was initiated in the Royal Naval Lodge , served most of the offices , and passed the chair . He was the oldest Member of the Lodge , and a Subscriber to both Charities . He revived the Pythagorean Lodge in the year 1833 , after its being many years dormant ; was a steady friend , a good working Mason , an affectionate husband , a dutiful son , and a beloved father : in short , he was what he professed to be—a mason at heart .

PROVINCIAL .
Our Brethren in INDIA will hear , with equal interest and regret , that among the late proceedings at the Board of Benevolence the case of a petitioner was presented , who had left that country for the purpose of recruiting his health in England . His arrival here was greeted by the intelligence that the house in Calcutta , upon ivhich his bills were drawn , had become bankrupt—a long recital is unnecessary—his feelings may be too readily conceived ; one misfortune followed another , until human degradation could descend no lower ; and hewho in India was protected
, from the sun by the luxury of a palanquin , was reduced to sweep a street-crossing in London . In such a situation was the subject of our remarks discovered by a brother Mason . Immediately a petition was prepared and presented to the Board of Benevolence . At this fortunate time tidings reached him that his friends in India had commissioned a captain to give him a passage home ; a sum of money was voted to assist his outfit ; and we hope by this time he has joined his connexions .
We dwell upon this instance to exhibit to our Eastern Brethren , as ivell as to all brethren in the British dependencies , the practical good that must result from charitable co-operation , and we hope that those who have the means will subscribe liberally to the existing Charities as well as the aged and decayed Freemason ' s Asylum .
