THE BIRTH-DAY OP THE GRAND MASTER , January 27 . —Why the public fete , which has been held since 1813 on this occasion , has been abandoned , rests to be shown by those who have usually made the preliminary arrangements . We do not hesitate to say , that unless the omission has been by command ^ a serious fault has been committed . Many meetings were held ; among them the Chapter of Fidelity , the Somerset House and Tuscan Lodgeswhere the omission was adverted
, fo with significant expressions , although the loyalty of the Brethren was never more clearly evinced . Perhaps , after all , the private enjoyment of truly loyal Masons is more rational , although the display of a public fete , and—we beg pardon—the presence of the ladies has a more attractive and brilliant effect .
GRAND STEWARDS' LODGE , Jan . 15 . —A letter of resignation from Brother Crucefix was read , assigning as his reasons indifferent health , and the necessity of still greater attention to the interests of the Asylum . Brother Baumer was elected Master . Feb . 19 . —Installation of the Worshipful Master . Lectures appointed for the public night . March 18 . —Public night . —The visitors were numerous .
LODGE OF JOPPA , NO . 223 . —Jan . 1 . The re-election of Brother Abraham Harris to the Chair , afforded the Brethren an opportunity to testify their respect for his unwearied service . The Lodge is advancing rapidly , and as securely in discipline and practice . Brother Lazarus , the indefatigable Secretary and Director of Ceremonies , was conspicuous in his attention to the Master and the visitors . On this evening there were five initiations , making , we believe , in all twenty-two since the last installation . The banquetas usualwas in the best Jewish

Among the numerous visitors were Bros , Crucefix and Philipe , who severally addressed the Brethren ; the former in reply to the compliment offered to the Grand Officers , exhorted the Lodge to continue its honourable career with all loyalty and decorum , and afterwards gave the health ofthe Worshiful Masterin conjunction '
