Grand Festival Of The Order.
our thanks , on behalf of the Craft , to the Board of Stewards , for the very marked attention manifested by them throughout the day ; nor ought we to conclude without personally thanking them for the very courteous and fraternal compliment we received from them in the vote of Ladies' tickets for the gallery . It may be observed that , although some of the daily papers briefly noticed the Festival , several , whose conductors are intimately connected with the Order of whom havebeen promoted
, some to its distinguished honours , have observed a marked silence : but from this want of courtesy , we joyfully exempt our excellent cotemporary the Public Ledger , for the promptitude and good feeling with which it , upon this , as upon all occasions , attends to the honour and interest of Freemasonry .
ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS . April 11 . —Joseph Lythgoe , Esq ., in the Chair . The quarterly general meeting of the Governors was held this evening at the Freemason ' s Tavern . Present about a dozen members of the Committee , and several Governors . Two or three cases were consideredinto the details of which
, we need not enter . In one the petitioner was for the present unsuccessful in his application to be placed on the list of candidates , as it was feared his mother would not be able to keep him , by her exertions , in a condition to render the advantages of the charity available in his case . Should the Brethren who recommended this application see these lines , we would suggest it to them , as a duty , to endeavour , amongst themselves and friends , to aid the widowed mother , that the Governors may be enabled , upon the annual meeting next year , to place the youth in the list of candidates .
ROYAL FREEMASONS' SCHOOL FOR FEMALE CHILDREN . March 31 . —GENERAL COMMITTEE . —Lord H . J . S . Churchill , in the Chair . _ A very interesting discussion took place , on the subject of two petitions which had been rejected at the last meeting of the Committee
. In the one case the petition had been rejected for non-compliance with the forms required—first , as to the certificate of Lodge service , and secondly , from the want of certificate b y minister and churchwardens . Mr . Norris , in support of the petitioner , put in an amended petition , in which' all these forms were complied with , as far as the possibility of circumstances would admit ; and the petition was ultimatelreceived .
y The second case was extremel y interesting . It had been rejected , because the father did not , as it formerly appeared , come within the interpretation of a " reduced Freemason ; " he being , in fact , an artisan in ' the dock-yard , whose wages were reduced in consequence of the change from war to peace .
