TEMPLARS . —A revisal of the rules , & c , has recently occupied the attention of Grand Conclave , at the suggestion and under the superintendence of that learned Bro . Knight , Dr .

ROYAL ARCH CHAPTER , No . 1 . —On Wednesday , April 19 , a monthly meeting of the Companions took place . Several subjects of private business were discussed and disposed of , and the First Number of the New Series of the Freemasons' Quarterly Review was laid on the table by the Treasurer , Companion Boag , who was directed to lend it out to the office-bearers in rotation , and afterwards to the rest of the Chapter . The Companions adjourned from labour to refreshment , the First Principal presiding .
MARY ' CHAPEL , No . 1 . —About sixty gentlemen , amongst whom are many of distinction , have been added to her numbers during the present season . The admirable working manner ( as near as possible assimilated to the English plan ) , in which the Lodge has been conducted , reflects great crediton her present office-bearers . The late festival , presided over by the Grand Lodge , was the most numerous assemblage ever known in Scotland , and was one of the brightest spots in the history of Alother
Mary . The numerous deputations from Provincial Lodges on that occasion will be of benefit to the Craft , not only by bringing the Brethren in closer connexion , and thereby engendering a better feeling , but , by infusing a spirit of generous rivalry , it is to be hoped that in future the Edinburgh Lodges will not confine their invitations to those in their immediate vicinity . During the late visit of our Grand Master to this city , the Brethren of No . 1 , presented his lordship with a silver
trowel , of most exquisite workmanship , as a token of their respect ; the P . M . ( it having been voted whilst he was in the chair ) , was deputed to wait on his lordship , who , on receiving it , expressed the high estimation in ivhich he held the No . 1 . Some slight misunderstanding has arisen respecting the Lodge having styled herself " The Metropolitan Lodge , " a title to which her ancient records prove she has a ri ght ; but no doubt her members would rather
waive such right , than endanger the good feeling which has hitherto existed between them and the sister Lodges . An attempt was made to restore the original title some time since , but it failed through the imprudence of some of the members , who disrespected the Grand Lodge .
