by the Salisbury , Watford , Hertford , and St . Alban ' s Lodges , all of which called Meetings of Emergency to offer their condolence to the Provincial Grand Master upon the demise of that universally esteemed lady—his much-beloved wife . The various addresses are expressive of the affectionate regard entertained for the person of the Marquis , and breathe a fervid hope that a merciful Providence will impart consolation under his bereavement .
Brother Harrison has been re-elected W . M . of the Salisbury Lodge , at Waltham Cross , where a R . A . Chapter was held on the 18 th instant .
