QUARTERLY COMMUNICATION . —EXCUSE . —The President of the B . of G . P . was absent on account of having had his foot crushed by a cab passing over it . We are happy to report that he is in a fair way towards recovery . GIRLS' SCHOOL . —A STEWARD . —A letter will be found in our pages on this subject , the contents of which , we think , will show that the parties in fault are still anxious to shift the burden to other shoulders than their own . The following quotation , hi reference thereto , from Horace , is perhaps a little too severe , though it is not , wo think , altogether inappropriate : — "Demitto auriculas , ut iniquai mentis asollus ,
Cum gravius dorso subnt onus . " BUILDING FUND FOR BOYS' SCHOOL . —MANCHESTER . —A BROTHER . —Our first article will answer the question . REPORTS OF MASONIC MEETINGS . —Z . inquires " Why don't you give reports of Masonic meetings at greater length ? " Our reply is , Because we have not room for them ; and if we sought to please one class of Brethren , we should offend another , and vice versa , and so be speedily like " the old man and his ass , " in the fable—by trying to please all , we should satisfy none ! Another reason we may offer , why many events are omitted , is , that the parties most interested
will not send their MS . till the very eve of publication , when the F . M . Q . M . it- R . is completed for the Quarter . EMULATION LODGE OF IMPROVEMENT . —RAGIC—The letter of our Correspondent has shared the same fate with many other MSS . The anniversary meeting of the above Lodge of Improvement was held , Nov . 29 ; yet Ragie ' s communication did not reach us till the 22 nd DECEMBER , wdien the entire arrangements for the ] iresent number were completed . If our Correspondents will not pay attention to our rejieated request at the head of our "Notices to Correspondents , " they must not be surprised if then- intelligence is omitted .

PAST MASTERS FOR BOARD OF BENEVOLENCE . —Air OLD P . M . —There is no help for it . Any Brother is at liberty to suggest a name , or names , though it is not quite fair to do so , without having a sanction for such a proceeding . We cannot believe the nomination of so many Brethren from the Royal Athelstan Lodge , No . 19 , to have been a trick to insure the election of a certain individual . If it were so , the defeat was deserved ; but we have a much higher opinion of the Brother than even to suspect such a thing . SENIOR GRAND WARDEN . —T . —To speculate on the appointment of next year is premature . The appointment is solely in the hands of the M . W . the G . M .
GRAND STEWARDS' LODGE . —M . L . E . —The absence of Bro . Shaw may easily be accounted for . He has , we are informed , left England for a distant colony . MASONIC BETTING OFFICE . —HONESTY . —The attempt was a failure . The exposure at Bow-street smashed the gang . We have not heard that any of the Craft were taken in by such spurious courses . B . N . D . —The Brother has no connection with the F . M . Q . M . & R ., either as Editor , sub-Editor , Proprietor , Publisher , or Printer . ROYAL AROH . —J .

evening , at seven o'clock , and meets under the sanction of the Royal York Chapter of Perseverance , No . 7 . You cannot attend a better school . We do not know of any Companion in particular , to whom to refer you for private instruction , but we doubt not that Companion Evans , 26 , Great Queen-street , Lincoln ' s-Inn , would most willingly furnish all the information you may require . TEIIPLAMSM . —X . —The inquiry is too personal . The Register of the Encampment would not be justified in answering the question , if put by a non , member . THE HIGH GRADES DEGREES . —ROSE CROIX . —When well given , this is an interesting ceremony . The whole arrangements of these degrees are in excellent working order . They are extending very rapidly in the provinces , as the reports in the present number of the F . M . Q . M . A- li . will abundantly show .
