Quarterly Communication.
short , it was the more important : the results are , an annual grant to widows of Masons , an open division on measures affecting the Craft , and a committee to investigate if any alterations should be made in our present work .
OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY . —This new feature , from the number of communications we have received on the subject , has evidently attracted considerable attention ; it may possibly have had some effect even on the proceedings of the Grand Lodge . In the " for and against , " which we have scrupulously weighed , our graphic artists are encouraged to persevere , and we suggest to them to select their next kit-cats , halflength , full-length , or bishop ' s-length , from among the following : viz ., Bros . Dobie , Beadon , Peter Thomson , Philipe , Shaw , Lane , and Faudel .
THE GRAND LODGE OP LOUISIANA . —We regret that the late arrival of papers relating to the unfortunate schism between the masonic Grand Lodges of this state and that of Mississippi , prevent any more than a very brief notice . We may say , without fear of offending either , " Brother , brother , we are both in the wrong ; " but certainly Mississippi has the worst of the argument , and consequently should make the first advances
towards a reconciliation . What will the popular world think of the unanimity of Masons , with New York , Louisiana , Mississipi , and Bengal iu their present state of culpable differences ? ,
INAUGURATION OP ROBERT BURNS . —An elaborate painting of this interesting ceremony , executed by Bro . Stewart Watson , is on private view at Bro . Brooks ' , 14 , Great Queen-street . We cannot speak too highly of the subject , or the truly artistical manner in which it is finished . The poet is on the steps before the Master , receiving the admonitory address . The Master , with many noble and other brethren ,
in all sixty-one portraits , are grouped with characteristic attention to masonic position . We understand that it is intended that engravings from the original shall be executed at as moderate a charge as possible . Bro . Stewart Watson has our hearty good wishes for success .
FINE ARTS . —We have lately seen a very spirited drawing of her Majesty ' s progress round the fleet in our harbour , by Lieut . Jones . It is exhibited at Mr . Fletcher ' s , in Patrick-street , and is executed with considerable talent , and of course great attention to nautical detail . It is dedicated to our gallant townsman , Colonel Chatterton , K . H . ; and being for the henefit of a most deserving charity , the Masonic Female
Orphan Asylum , we earnestly recommend it to our fellow-citizens . The drawing is to be sent to London for lithographing . Subscriptions will be received by Mr . Fletcher . —Cork Constitution-, September , 184 . 9 .
