The Reporter.
MOUNT SINAI CHAPTER . —Companion Aarons is in the field , and , after a long and studious consideration of the Mysteries of the Holy Royal Arch , he has announced his intention to promulgate his views on this most important branch of Masonry . There is , perhaps , no person more capable of Scriptural examination , or more competent to apply its beauties in reference to the subject . AA ^ e shall look to the fourth Monday in April with some interest , and hope to greet the faces of many intelligent Companions on the occasion . The place of meeting is the Gun Tavern , Pimlico .
LODGES OF INSTRUCTION . —These meetings have been unusually well attended—but our reporter must be excused , for want of space , from entering into particulars . The Master Masons Lodge of Improvement at Covent Garden , and Brother Peter Thomson ' s in Comhill , continue the lead . The Mount Moriah in Ashby Street , is progressing . We hope to be more particular in our next .
ENCAMPMENT , NO . 20 , Feb . 2 . —A Council of the Order of Knights of Malta and Med . P . was held to-day for the introduction of about twelve Members . The solemnities were very ably conducted by Knight Companion Goldworthy ; and the Commander , Dr . Crucefix , in the course of the evening delivered a brief address , founded upon those portions of the Testament from whence the peculiar mysteries of the degree are derived : the address was listened too with marked attention .
After which , he appealed to the Companions on behalf of a very aged Mason , whose petition was vouched for , and a liberal subscription rewarded his address . The kindness of the Companions , however , did not end here ; for some of the company were so forcibly impressed with the merits of the case , that they undertook to canvass for the poor Brother ' s admission into the National Benevolent Institution , and Providence has abundantlblessed the Masonic spirit . The old Mason , late
y as was the canvass , has been placed on the fund ; and , to use the words of the kind friends who took up his cause— " may he be spared many years to reap the benefit of it . " Hail , Masonry—such are thy worksmay the example be followed in all encampments and meetings of every kind .
March 16 . —Knights Templars ( Encampment 20 . )—After the installation of a member , the subject of a conference with the Chapter of Observance was renewed , but no distinct reply to the letter addressed to the excellent Companions of that Encampment having been received , the further consideration of the matter was entrusted , for the present , to the discretion of the eminent Commander . Knight Companion G . AVackerbath volunteered to serve as Steward to the Festival of the Aged Masons' Asylum .
