BRIDGEWATER , Oct . 7 th . —The Lodge of Unanimity and Sincerity , No . 327 , visited the Lodge of Perpetual Friendship in this town last evening , and witnessed the initiation of Mr ., now Brother Simon Eraser Campbell , into the mysteries of the Craft . The worthy Brother is sonin-law to the respected R . W . P . G . M . for Somerset , Col . Tynte , and his admission into the Fraternity was hailed with considerable
satisfaction , not more from the gratify ing circumstance of the abovementioned connexion , than from the known worth and amiability of the esteemed candidate for the honours of Masonry . The P . G . M . attended during the ceremony of initiation , but departed immediately at its conclusion with his son and Brother . We were pained to witness the marks of affliction and anguish on his countenance consequent on the loss of a
beloved daughter , and we hope for a speedy resumption of his usual spirits and appearance . The W . M . Brother Eales White , was accompanied by Brothers Maher , Polhill , Macdonald , Greenbill , Gillam , Haselen , Ash , and many others of his Lodge , who expressed themselves highly gratified by the cordial and truly fraternal feelings with which they were received , and after partaking of the bountiful hospitalities
that were provided for them , and requesting the honour of a visit in return from the Lodge of Perpetual Friendship , the Brethren returned to Taunton , much delig hted at the progress of Masonic feeling ivhich they had witnessed , and which is so much increasing in the western provinces . Brother Inman , P . G . Secretary and W . M . of the Lodge , conducted the ceremonies of the evening with his accustomed ability .

The work of the Lodge was ably effected by the W . M . and his officers , Brothers Boucher , Edwards , Lean , Kersteman , & c , and at its close an abundant dinner was provided .
