Masonic Chit Chat.
Dec . 16 . —The public night of the Grand Stewards' Lodge was honoured by a numerous attendance of the Fraternity ; and following , as it did , so immediately after the celebration of the centenary of the Lodge , it was gratifying to observe that even more than usual attention was evident in those who delivered the respective sections , and was listened to with proportionate interest . Bro . Aarons , in the name of the visitors , acknowledged the grateful sense they all entertained of the valuable services at all times rendered to Freemasonry by the Grand Stewards' Lodge .
Cornwall . —We have heard that the Masons and the gentry of this county intend to raise some public tribute to the memory of their deceased . Brother , Lord de Dunstanville . The Hon . P . Y . Saville , third son of the Earl of Mexborough , was on Friday week initiated in the Masonic Lodge of Unanimity , No . 179 , Wakefield . The Hon . H . A . Saville was also present during the ceremony . —Halifax Express , Oct . 22 .
The ball which is annually given under the sanction of the Bank of England Lodge , has been postponed till the 4 th of February , in compliment to the Grand Master , that it may not interfere with the festivities of the 27 th January , his natal day . The Installation of the Worshipful Master and other officers of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Lodge , No . 24 , for the ensuing year , took place at their Lodge Room , Three Tuns Yard , Cloth Market , Newcastle , yesterday , at twelve o ' clock , after which the Brethren dined at Brother J . R . Wilkin ' s , Half Moon , Mosley Street .
A dispensation has been granted for the initiation of the Hon . Thos . Wentworth Fitzwilliam , at Cambridge ; and on the 6 th of January a Masonic ball will be given to the ladies in that town . It is with the highest pleasure we give our version of a rumour that it is intended , by the Somerset Fraternity , to take measures to present their beloved Prov . Grand Master with some substantial mark of their regard , in order that his family and his posterity may possess a record of the estimation in which Col . Tynte is held by his brethren . The intention is as creditable as success will be honourable . Brethren of Somerset , we have our eye upon you , and our heart is with you .
Robert Lemon ' - , Esq ., F . S . A ., was a man of extensive learning and great antiquarian research , and derived the classical part of his education from his late uncle , the Rev . Geo . William Lemon . A few years since , Mr . Lemon had the good fortune to discover , among the earlier MSS . in the State Paper Office , a theological work in Latin of the immortal Milton , which was immediatel y laid before his late majesty , King George the Fourth , who was graciously pleased to command that
the same should be forthwith translated into English , and published ; and that a splendid copy thereof should be jiresented to Mr . Lemon , from whom it now descends to his son , as an heir-loom of inestimable value . —New Monthly Mag ., Oct . 1835 .
