FAITH AND FIDELITY , May 30 . —This Encampment presented on this clay unusual activity ; no less than seventeen Masonic Knights were advanced to tbe degrees of Ne Plus , Med . P , Knight of Malta and Rosa Crucis , a number unparalleled in London . But we speak not of that circumstance . AVe would endeavour to do justice to the manner in which Sir Knig ht H . Udall performed the ceremony of the Rosa Crucis . The solemnity so to produce an effective impression on the
necessary candidates , the correct and chaste delivery of the addresses in the ceremonial , were regulated by the most cautious attention . In his official duty he was well aided by Sir Knig ht R . L . AVilson . The arrangements in the Chapter were conducted altogether with peculiar eclat , and the embellishments displayed considerable taste . As might be expected , the hospitality of the banquet afterwards was in unison with the occasionand the addresses of the E . Commander left
, nothing to be desired . One curious fact was elicited , that out of the twenty that were present , there were three Commanders of London Encampments , viz . Sir Knights Udall , R . L . Wilson , and Crucefix , the latter of whom addressed the seventeen junior Knights upon the events of the day at some length .
THE CROSS OF CHRIST , June 19 . —Sir Knight Acklam , in the absence of the E . Commander , installed , into the Order the Marquess of Kilclare , the son of the Duke of Leinster , the Grand Master of Ireland , on the proposition of Sir Knig ht Crucefix . Companion Collin was installed at the same time . Sir Knig ht Acklam leaving early , Sir Knight Crucefix presided at the Banquet . Several addresses were made , among them the Chairman alluded very pointedly to the great advantages which the Order
derived from the protection afforded to it by that highly respected and estimable nobleman the Duke of Leinster , the Grand Master of the Templar Orders , whose health was drunk with enthusiasm , and the compliment acknowledged by his son , the newly installed Knight . The health of the Maiquess was then prefaced with an appropriate address , and again called forth a reply from the noble Knight , who expressed himself both on his father ' s ancl on his own part with equal spirit and
kindness . The health of the other candidate was received with similar demonstration , ancl the evening passed with even more than the accustomed pleasure , to which Sir Knight Isaacson greatly contributed by his social powers .
Our reporter has defaulted ; but we must excuse him , having so much that calls for apology in ourselves . We trust our readers may never be compelled to make the same excuse , as arising from the similar circumstances .
