Feb . 3 . —Brother David Moses was justly complimented by the presentation of a valuable jewel , as a mark of gratitude for thirty years ' services as Treasurer . The subscription was voluntary , and the compliment equally honourable to the giver and receiver .
LODGE OP ISRAEL , No . 247 . —January 15 . —The same hospitality , with equal attention to Blasonic propriety and social enjoyment was observed in this Lodge on the Installation of Brother Cohen to the Chair , who determining not to be behind his Brethren of the Joppa in entertaining his friends , called the meeting at the George and Vulture , which afforded greater scope for the occasion than the old quarters . We state , with great satisfaction , the zeal of these two Lodges ( Joppa
and Israel ) in maintaining the regulations of the Craft in all formality and spirit ; they court with a peculiar delicacy the assistance of other Lodges , and are most desirous to profit by their experience . There is high promise in Brother Cohen ; he has appointed as S . W . Brother Henry , who is zealously advancing those pretensions that will ere long place him in a foremost rank amongst his fellows- Brother Birmingham , the Junior Warden , is ardent and zealous . A vote of thanks was gratefully and unanimously presented to a Brother , for the gift of three pedestals . Brother Aarons , the installing Master , had the happiness of presenting the same to his friend and pupil .
STRONG MAN LODGE , NO . 53 , Jan . 2 . —STRONG IN MEMBERS , AND STRONG FOR THE ASYLUM . —The anniversary and installation of the Worshi pful Master was held this day . Brother Conolly , the retiring Master , performed the service most efficiently . Many visitors were present . We are of opinion that every retiring Master should be qualified to install his successor . Brother Conolly is a young Mason , diligent in work , ancl faithful in duty .
BANK OF ENGLAND , NO . 329 , Jan . 9 . —Brother J . Lee Stevens was duly installed W . M . by Dr . Crucefix . Our wishes would prompt us to give a detailed account of the proceedings of this Lodge , whicli were most interesting , and embraced many important topics . The address of the Master in proposing the health of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex , was appropriate and happy . There was no fulsome adulation , but a straightforward compliment given in the true spirit
of English Masonry . The visitors outnumbering the members by a considerable majority , the Master gave their health in sections , and prefaced each section by pertinent remarks . Brother H . Phillips of the Aloira , proposed the health of Dr . Crucefix , as a Brother whose exertions in Freemasonry were as useful as they were unremitting . The health of the officers was acknowledged in a very happy manner by Brother King , the Senior Warden . The Brethren spent a most delightful day , and separated in perfect harmony . Among the visitors were Brothers C . Bell , Gore , H . Phillips , Bigg , Ribbans , W . T . Smith , Whitmore , Brewster , & c .
