Royal Hotel , Grainger-street—to instal tbe W . M . Elect for the ensuing year . A large and most respectable body of brethren from other lodges attended on the occasion ; the proceedings of tbe day being managed by Bro . William Dalziel , Prov . Grand Director of Ceremonies , with his usual ability and masonic skill . The names of the officers for the ensuing year are as follows : —James Donald , W . M . ; T . W . Fenwick , P .

Northumberland ) S . W . ; W . R . Todd , J . W . ; James Houston , Treasurer ; W . Dalziel , Secretary ; J . S . Challoner , S . D . ; Angus Brown , J . D . ; Charles States , S . S . ; T . Smith , J . S . ; T . Fowler , I . G . ; and Alex . Dickson , Ty ler . On the conclusion of the duties more immediately connected with the ceremony of installation , and investiture of officers , the new W . Master delivered a very appropriate and impressive address on the beauties of the Order , with reference more particularly to the occasion of
the present meeting . The lodge having shortly afterwards been adjourned to a later period in the evening , the brethren , still retaining their masonic clothing , sat down to an excellent dinner ; and after a great variety of suitable toasts , and appropriate speeches from the W . M ., and several others , the lodge was closed with that true harmony and brotherly feeling , which should ever distinguish the meetings of the Craft . It will be long , indeed , ere the brethren of the Lodge de Loraine , and their friendly visitors , forget the delight afforded them by the proceedings of their first anniversary .
MONMOUTH . —The brethren of the Loyal Monmouth Lodge assembled at their masonic hall , to celebrate the festival of St . John the Evangelist . After the initiation and advancement of the several candidates to the different degrees , the business of the evening being ended , the brethren adjourned to banquet at the Beaufort Arms . The chair ( in the much regretted and unavoidable absence of the W . Master ) was ably filled by the Senior Warden , Bro . Pearson , supported on the right and left by
Past Masters Chillcott and Williams , and assisted by Bro . Crook as vice , who was supported by the Treasurer , Bro . H . Dyke . Songs and toasts being the order of the evening , it was spent with harmony and good feeling . In concluding this short notice , we cannot debar ourselves the pleasure of alluding to an observation which fell from the Vice President , whilst proposing the health of the head of the noble house of Beaufort , as the Prov . Grand Master for Gloucestershire— " he anticipated the
approach ofa glorious era in the annals of Freemasonry in Monmouthshire , in the adhesion of a noble scion of that illustrious house , who , for aught he knew to the contrary , might , in the language of the Craft , ' receive the light' in a lodge held within the ancient and far-famed walls of Ragland Castle ; " this happy omen elicited immense applause , and we have only time to add , " so mote it be . " March 8 . —At a lodge held at the New Freemasons'Hall , Bro . G . Crook , Prov . G . P ., was unanimously elected W . Master of the Loyal Monmouth , No . 671 , for the ensuing year .
CALLINGTON , Jan . 29 . —A new lodge was constituted at Callington in this county , and the officers installed by Bro . John Ellis , Deputy Prov . Grand Master of the province , assisted by Masters and Past Masters of Cornwall and Devon lodges . This is the fourth lodge constituted since the Prov . Grand Master , Sir C . Lemon , Bart ., has been installed , whicli imposing ceremony we recorded in 1844 , and was performed by the present Deputy above named .
