and without dispute ; and I have taken this opportunity of stating , that if , by any incautious word , act , or deed , I have in the slightest way hurt the feelings of any one of the Brethren in the least degree during the past year , I hero most sincerely apologize for the same , and request his full acquittance and forgiveness . I trust I have not done so ; but if I have offended , I again crave forgiveness . During the year it has been my good fortune to have initiated ten Brethren ; and I trust that nothing they have
seen of our Order will give them the slightest wish to regret their joining , or to cause them to desire that they had not become acquainted with their newly-known Brethren . I leave the chair , with the Lodge—thanks to our excellent Secretary and Treasurer , in prosperity ; and , hoping you will excuse the vanity I have possessed of speaking so much of myself , I beg most sincerely once more to thank you for your many kindnesses , for your allowance for my weak endeavours , and to wish yourselves , wives , families , and
friends , a happy tennination of the present season , and the cheering hope of a prosperous new year . Bro . Feast concluded this address by toasting "the Past Masters ;" after which followed "The Master Elect , " and several other toasts , which were ably and Fraternally responded to ; soon after which the company broke up , highly delighted with the evening ' s entertainment , which was considerably enhanced by the presence of Bro . James Turner
, who sang several appropriate songs . LODGE OF CONFIDENCE , NO . 228 . —At the meeting of this Lodge on the 8 th of December , Bro . Henry Wilkin was installed as W . M ., by one of the senior members of the Lodge , acting in behalf of Bro . John Allen , the retiring W . M ., who was unavoidably absent . The Brethren
appointed as Officers for the ensuing year afford bright promise of future excellence ; indeed the names of Bros . Plews and Statham are in themselves guarantees that the new W . M . has insured for himself not onl y zealous , but scientific support during his tenure of office . We regret to add , that the extreme indisposition of the W . M . prevented his attending the banquet , but the gloom which this of course threw over the Brethren , was in some measure dispelled by the very effective manner in which his place was supplied by the very excellent
Treasurer of the Lodge , Bro . Charles Dunning , P . M ., who discharged his task in a way only to be expected from one possessed like him of urbanity , propriety and talent . We noticed amongst the numerous visitors , Bros . John Hill , R . A 7- ., Thomas Naghten , Edgley , Webber , E . M . Attwood , Ward , Barrett , & c . The meeting , enlivened by the harmony of Bros . Webber , Overan , and others , terminated at an early hour , when the Brethren separated ,
delighted with the evening they had spent , as well as with the bright prospects of the Lodge . IONIC LODGE , NO . 275 . —The Brethren of the Ionic Lodge met at the King ' s Head Tavern , Poultry , on the 4 th of December , when Bro . John Symonds was installed as W . M .
