Otm PORTRAIT GALLERY . —Tiie case of General Cooke having absorbed tlie time of no less than three Grand Lodges , we have scarcely time to allude to this new department . We , however , draw the attention of our readers to the studio of " Ithuriel , " who has given a very powerful and graphic sketch . If the portraits that are under orders be as faithfully true to circumstance ( and there are many of them in hand ) ,
we anticipate that the gallery will interest , amuse , and instruct . THE MASONIC SCHISM IN BENGAL , March 26 . —We have this day received the " finish " of this most inauspicious affair . Freemasonry bleeds ! who shall staunch her wounds ? Little did we think that when we last commented on the position of Bro . John Grant , and those
brethren whose zeal he has punished with an unbecoming severity , we might have said " thus bad begins , but worse remains behind . " Yet so it is . The Grand Secretary of England has , contrary to his " usual custom of an afternoon , " lost no time in announcing to the parties
concerned , that the Earl of Zetland , M . W . G . M ., approves of the conduct of the P . G . M . for Bengal . It may be yet not too late for the Lord Patron of Masonry in Bengal to become a successful arbitrator , and restore peace . The Grand Chapter of Scotland may possibly extend its mantle , and gently assuage the wrath of Bro . Grant . Even had we time and space , we should hardly add more at present , inasmuch as the
matter has not yet come under the consideration of the Grand Lodge of England ¦ where , if " fair-play " be permitted , some reparation may be made to wounded feelings , caused by excessive , if not unmerited , punishment . Alas for Freemasonry ! Bro . Grant , we fear you have applied the axe too keenly—take care , lest in the fall of the tree , thyself be not endangered . '
March 28 . —We have to regret the arrival of many reports altogether too late , especially some important documents relating to the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland , which , at this moment , are of interest . Also some pamphlets , particularly that by Erasmus Wilson , on " Health y Skin , " which should have reached us earlier .
