ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS .
WE beg to acknowledge , with warmest thanks , the receipt of the July and August numbers of "Auburn ( United States ) Masonic Union , " and also of a copy of the "Ancient Landmark . " These Fraternal proofs of good feeling , passing to us across " the broad Atlantic " are most acceptable , and are warmly esteemed .
DOMINICA . —Brno . S * * * E . —Many thanks ; the article is most acceptable , and the promised repetition will be most agreeable . TRURO . —F . P . —An intimation of the change of the place of meeting of the Phcenix Lodge should be sent to Bro . W . Farnfield , Grand Secretary ' s Office , for the correction in the Calendar for 1852 . YARBOROUGH LODGENO . 812—The differences which disturbed this Lodge
, having been all happily settled , renders it unnecessary that we should refer to the Report of the Grand Lodge of June respecting them , as we had intended . Undoubtedly the lesson will not be lost upon all parties , and will have the effect of restraining the enthusiastic desire of making too many new members of the Craft in the haste which produced so unpleasant a contretemps .
M . R . —We do not sympathize . We believe it is one ofthe happiest symptoms of the advance of tbe Order , that Reverend Brethren will testify their respect for Freemasonry from the pulpit , and strive to inculcate its purest prin - ciples in this praiseworthy manner . Three instances are recorded in this Number of the F . M . Q . M . & R . where clerical eminent talents have been made subservient to the promulgation of the noblest truths with eminent success—those of Bro . the Rev . J . W . Gleadall , P . G . C . of England , at Romford , Bro . the Rev . J . C . Parr ; at Weymouth , and Bro . the Rev . R . D . Jeffreys at Swansea .
" AN OEMCE-BEAJRER or THE GRAND LODGE OP SCOTLAND . "—Our columns are open for contradiction , if our Scotch Correspondent , " Fellow Craft , " is in error . It is , however , a singular fact , that notwithstanding he has been abused , and we ourselves denounced in the G . L . of Scotland , no one has "lifted the gauntlet , " or attempted to controvert the intelligence he has from time to time recorded . Does not " silence give consent" to the truth of circumstances which our Correspondent from time to time unravels 1
NEW GIRJLS' SCHOOL . —BRO . F . —Yes ; the report is correct ; the particulars will be found in our leading article , with the expression of our sentiments , which are as strong as those of Bro . F ., and doubtless will be reciprocated throughout the Craft . Of the Quarterly General Court it may be said , " Nemo omnibus hor is sapit . '
MADRAS . —The pressure upon our pages has prevented the insertion of more than a condensed version of the authorized Report of the June Meeting of the P . G . L . Ab communications from this quarter are always most thankfully received . FREEMASONS' HALL AND TAVERN . —A . Z—The less said the better . " Tempera mutanlur . " Improvement , however , may be anticipated in every respect very shortly . It is impossible that " things " can be " worse" than they have been .
