A collection having been made in the Lodge , amounting to . £ 19 Is . Ad . for the benefit of the East Suffolk Hospital , a procession was then formed , which passed down Nortbgate - street , through Tavern-street , to the Church of St . Mary Tower , where prayers were read by the Rev . Bro . Lockwood , and a most eloquent and truly appropriate sermon was preached by the Prov . G . C . Bro . Rev . E . Neale . A collection was again made at the doors for the benefit of the
Hospital . This splendid institution , with all its charitable beneficence , although at the present moment the income is actually less than the expenditure , failed to produce a proper feeling in the breasts of the inhabitants .

The Brethren , in number 109 , afterwards partook of a splendid banquet , prepared by Bro . G . Chaplin , of the White Horse Hotel .

At half-past two o ' clock the Craft Lodge was opened in the Three Degrees by Bro . Martin , W . M ., of the St . David's Lodge , Bangor , No . 540 , assisted by the W . M . s and P . M . s of the other private Lodges in
the Province . A procession of the Prov . Grand Officers was then formed , and entered the Lodge-room . The Prov . G . L . was opened in ample form , and the minutes of the last Lodge read and confirmed . The by-laws for the government of the Lodge were produced by Bro . Wigan , P . G . Sec , having been most carefully and elaborately prepared by Bro . Rowland , the P . G . D . C , and considered by a Committee of Grand Officers . They were passed
unanimously . The very beautifully-written address , presented to the R . W . P . G . M . at the Shrewsbury meeting , now handsomely framed and elegantly emblazoned , was then handed to him , and excited the admiration of all by whom it was examined ; and a vote of thanks was passed to him for his attendance and conduct in the Chair . The R . W . P . G . M . then announced his intention of holding a Prov . G . Lodge in each
year , the next to be at Shrewsbury . The Prov . G . and the Craft Lodges having been closed , a procession of all the Brethren was formed for the purpose of going to the cathedral to hear divine service . It had been publicly announced that the Right Rev . the Lord Bishop of the Diocese had granted his permission to the V . W . and Rev . P . G . C . to preach the sermon , that the Very Rev . the Dean had kindly accorded the use of the church , and undertaken all the necessary arrangements
