PUBLIC NIGHT , March 20 . —Owing to the indisposition of the Master , Brother Rodgers , liro . S . C . Norris , the immediate P . M ., undertook the serious responsibility of conducting the Lecture . The sections had to be cast differentl y from the previous arrangement ; there was scarcely a pausehoweverof any importance ; and we congratulate the Lecturers ,
, , more especially Brother Norris , upon the ability and correctness with which , on the sudden , they performed the entire sections . On the conclusion of the Lecture , Brother Harrison , Q . C , W . M . of the Salisbury Lodge , acknowledged the high gratification the visitors experienced , in a very elegant and impressive address ; and Brother Crucefix briefly adverted to the great loss which the Craft , and more especially the Grand Stewards' Lodgehad sustained by the decease of that Master in Israel
, , the late Brother W . Williams , the Prov . G . M . for Dorset , until very lately a member , and the presiding genius of this Lodge . We understand that this Lodge , the first in rank , as it is in importance and utility , is about to address a " Circular" to the eighteen Lodges from which it derives its constituent force , upon its general state . We refrain from any further remaks until the expected document is published .
