above meeting , and are sorry we could not consequently give a move lengthened account . ALCESTER , Sept . 20 . —The Provincial Grand Lodge for Warwickshire was held this day . The particulars have not yet arrived . WALLSALL , Sept . 18 . —The Provincial Grand Lodge for Staffordshire was held this day , but the particulars reached us too late for insertion .
The Lodge St . Matthew , 786 , has an accession of members ; and the holding of the Prov . Grand Lodge will doubtless cause an influx of business for its respected Master , Bro . James . NOTTINGHAM . — Fourth Royal Lrish Dragoons . —Previous to the departure of this gallant regiment from Nottingham a highly-respectable party entertained the non-commissioned officers , at the Spread Eagle Innto a most sumptuous dinnerwhich consisted of every
de-, , licacy to tempt the appetite . The wines were of the choicest vintages , and the dessert most delicious . After the cloth was drawn , Mr . Hurst was called to the chair , Mr . Harrison facing him on the pleasing occasion . The usual loyal toasts were given with great zest ; and the health of Colonel Chatterton and the regiment were drunk with prolonged applause , after a most admirable address from the very able and eloquent chairman . Regimental Sergeant-Major Stillman and
Serjeant-Majors Thomson , Drake , and Heron , responded in language teeming with ri ght loyal feeling , mingled with deep regret at leaving a town where they had met so much friendship and respect . " The South Nottinghamshire Yeomanry" was given in a neat speech from Bro . Stillman , to which Bro . Hurst ( who is an efficient member of that corps ) responded in suitable terms . The evening was one of delightful social intercourse , and the . parties separated with heartfelt regret .
BURNLEY . —Loyal Address to Her Majesty , from the Freemasons of Burnley and its Vicinity . —The great and important body of Freemasons in this county are known to be among the most loyal and patriotic subjects in Her Majesty ' s dominions . Among the numerous proofs of this fact which the members are continually giving , one has just occurred at Burnley of a highly gratifying character . The loyal Freemasons of that town and its vicinity , regarding with just suspicion the progress which revolutionary princiles are making at present in
p various parts of the world , and with honest indignation , the attempts recently made in this country to foist such detestable and destructive doctrines upon the loyal and constitutional people of this kingdom , have declared their belief that it is the duty of every man , or body of men , having the welfare of their country honestly at heart , to express , in times like these , by the most impressive means in their power , their unswerving attachment to the Throne and Constitution of the country .
In accordance with this admirable feeling , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to at a meeting of the body held last week : — " Proposed by Companion Captain Edmund Hawkins , and seconded by Companion J . Beeston , 'That a dutiful and loyal address be presented to Her most gracious Majesty the Queen , expressive of the attachment of this meeting to Her Majesty ' s person and Throne , and that the same be engrossed and forwarded to the Earl of Ellesmere
