LIVERPOOL . —Presentation to Bro . John Molyneux , P . M ., E . Z . — The last number of the Quarterly contained , amongst its provincial notices , an announcement of the presentation of a valuable testimonial to Bro . John Molyneux , of Liverpool , one of the most useful , painstaking , intelligent , and honourable members of the Craft , resident in that town . For the satisfaction of the brethren resident there , and who have evinced something of vexation that the announcement was disposed of in the brief space of a few linesbeing all that we could spare at the late period
, when the report came to hand , we give a rather fuller account of the proceedings . A deputation , composed of the following brethren , John Foster , M . E . Z ., Jerusalem Chapter , Lodge No . 35 ; Thomas Wylie , M . E . Z ., Chapter of Liverpool , Lodge No . 368 ; George H . Keightley , W . M . Lodge No . 35 ; Henry Walton , W . M .

Banning , Secretary Lodge No . 35 ; Thomas Johnstone Kilpin , Lodge No . 35 ; met at the Adelphi Hotel , and after slight refreshment , proceeded in carriages to the residence of Bro . Molyneux in Hope Street , where they were hospitably received . After the customary loyal and other toasts , Bro . Foster rose and addressed Bro . Molyneux as follows : Dear Sir and Brother—As a committee appointed by members of

The testimonial consists of a silver tea and coffee service , and in the design and preparation of it , an effort has been made to combine utility with elegance , and to afford the opportunity of daily mingling present enjoyment with the pleasing souvenirs of the past .
In taking this mode of testifying their respect for so valued a member of the Craft , the brethren , independent of feelings of personal attachment , have been led by two motives ; the one , to afford some reward , slight though it be , for long and faithful exertions in forwarding the objects and extending the institutions of the mystic art ; and the other , to stimulate younger . Masons to energy in the path of duty , by exhibiting to their view the pleasing results of that respect , esteem , and confidence , which are earned by an undeviating integrity and persevering devotion to the mysteries and virtues of the Craft .
