in his endeavours , is surpassingly wonderful . Deeply is it felt that the All-merciful is no respecter of persons . The occasion seized for the publication of this work is the centenary of the lodge ! For a hundred years has it existed — under mutations of course , and lapses of time contingent on military emergencies . Captain Charles South has been the steady patron and Master of the lodge ; and the members , grateful for such kindness , presented him with a very handsome medal . This history of the Minden Lodge is an acquisition to the annals of Masonry . It is a pious , truthful , and manly recital .
On the Methods pursued in Valuing the Risks of Life Assurance Companies . Baily , Brothers . A very interesting paper on the above subject was read on the 29 th of October , before the Institute of Actuaries , and ordered to be printed . With this request , Mr . Jellicoe , the author , has complied ; and the public are thereby enabled to estimate the amount of information afforded . The author ' s experience , as actuary of the Eagle office ( a most highly respectable and old competitor for public favour ) , enables hitn to adduce some very stringent points in favour of the Carlisle over
the Northampton Tables ; and on the results of that experience he courageously , yet modestly withal , declares his confidence in the superiority of the former . We may not agree in toto with Mr . Jellicoe in this extent of his inferences ; but we must congratulate the institute on a step taken in the right direction to promote every object that promises well for the public interest .
Memorial of the Queen ' s Visit . We have seen a very spirited water-coloured drawing at Mr . Fletcher ' s , representing Her Majesty passing through the fleet , in Cork Harbour , in the "Fairy" tender ; in which that graceful craft , with her beautiful run and taper spars , is accurately and strikingly contrasted with the two formidable line-of-battle-ships , with their tiers of bristling guns , and the heavy yards manned with gallant tars . The life and
bustle , as well as the various minor details of the memorable scene , are vividly depicted by the artist , Mr . Jones , first Lieutenant of H . M . S . Ganges , who has exhibited in this pretty and spirited drawing a very high order of ability . The picture is to be carefully lithographed by a London artist , and the proceeds of the sale of the lithographs are to be devoted to the funds of the Cork Masonic Asylum .
Bro . Henry Melville , lately arrived in Europe , has , from some ancient eastern records , discovered whence is obtained the triple tau within the circle . It is an astronomical key , and by its use will explain the meaning of all the strange personified figures of Egypt and India , & c . —besides , by its proper application , it will at once point out what is astronomical fable in all sacred ancient records . The double triangles within the circle is even still further important ; as it will throw such light on astronomy as will astound the learned of this age ; assuming the correctness of our information .
