The minutes of the November convocation were read by the Grand Scribe E . and confirmed . The following report of the Committee was taken as read : —

To the Supreme Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of England . The Committee of General Purposes beg to report that they have examined the accounts from the 20 th October , 1869 , to the 17 th January , 1 S 70 , both inclusive , which they find to be as follows : —• To Balance 19 th October . . . £ 374 14 8 „ Subsequent Receipts . . . 192 10 10

£ 567 5 6 ByDisbursementsdiiringtheQuartcr ^ 143 12 o ,, Balance 423 13 6 ; 65 U 7 5 6 which balance is in the hands of Messrs . Willis , Percival and Co ., bankers of the Grand Treasurer . The committee have also to report a fine of / s 5 s .,

inflicted upon the Chapter of Concord , No . 394 , Southampton , in July last ( for having exalted a candidate on the nth March , 1 S 69 , wdio had only been raised on the 12 th November previously ) , has not been paid , nor has the chapter , which has been written to upon the subject by the Grand Scribe E . three limes , acknowledged the receipt of his letters . Under these circumstances the

committee have deemed it right lo report the case to the Grand Chapter , and to summon the Chapter , No . 394 , to attend their next meeting , to show cause why it should not be recommended to Grand Chapter that the chapter be erased . A correspondence with the recently formed Grand Chapter of Nova Scotia , and a circular upon the same

subject from the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland , have been laid before the Committee , which they have carefully perused , and now submit to the consideration of the Supreme Grand Chapter . They suggest , however , that the Grand Lodge of England , having recognised the Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia , the Supreme Grand Chapter of England has scarcely anything to do in the matter . The

Supreme Grand Chapters of England and Scotland are in very dilTcrcnt positions , the former ou / y issuing charters to be attached to lodges under the English constitution , and being in close alliance with the Grand Lodge , such charters would naturally cease upon the severance of the lodges from Nova Scotia from that constitution ; the latter not being united or in any way connected with the lodges

under the constitution of the Grand Lodge of Scotland , issues its charters totally irrespective of that body , and consequently the Supreme Grand Chapter of Scotland is quire at liberty to pursue a totally independent course . The committee have likewise to report lliat they have received petitions . From Companions William Pickup Pickup , as ' / ..,

Joseph Ingram , as II ., Henry Maeaulay , as J ., and nine others , for a chapter to be attached to the Bank Terrace Lodge , No . 4 62 , Accrington , lo be called "The Bank Terrace Chapter , " and to meet at the Hargreaves Arms Hotel , Accrington , Lancashire . From Companions John Henry I lamer Doughncy as Z ., Richard Bonccy , as II ., William Wesl Smith , as J .,

and nine others , for a chapter to be attached to the Pythagorean Lodge , No . 79 , Greenwich , to be called "The Pythagorean Chapter , " and to meet at the Ship Hotel , Greenwich , Kent . The foregoing petitions being in all respects regular ,

lhe committee recommend that the prayers thereof be respectively granted . A petition has also been received from Companions George King , jun ., as Z ., George King , sen ., as II ., Edward Atkins liaber , as J ., and eight others , for a chapter to be attached to the Ilcrvey Lodge , No . 1260 ,

Grand Chapter Of England

to be called "The Hervey Chapter , " and to meet at the George Hotel , Walham Green , Middlesex . This petitionhasbeen carefully considered , but , although in all respects regular in form , the committee are of opinion that it is not desirable that a chapter should be attached to a lodge which has been consecrated for a less period than three years , and they submit their opinion for

the consideration of Grand Chapter . The following notice of motion has been received for the next Quarterly Convocation : — From Companion John Savage , Past Sword Bearer . " That the business of the Quarterly Convocations do commence at ' eight' o ' clock p . m ., and that the word ' eleven' be struck out of the second line of clause 9 > at

page 8 of the Royal Arch regulations , and the word ' ten ' be inserted in lieu thereof . " ( Signed ) W . PULTEMEY SCOTT , President . Freemasons' Hall , London , W . C ., 19 th January , 1870 . The first portions of the report relating to the

Chapter of Concord , No . 394 , and to the recognition of the Grand Chapter of Nova Scotia were received and adopted . Upon motion duly made and seconded , a charterwasgrantedforthe Bank Terrace Chapter , No . 462 , Accrington . Comp . SCOTT proposed , and Comp . BAKER seconded , that a charter be granted for the "

Pythagorean " Chapter , No . 79 , Greenwich . — Comps . Noble and Collington opposed the motion , which was supported by Comps . Raynham Stewart , Stevens , Smith , Nunn and Halsey . The M . E . Z . spoke in favour of the motion , and then put the question , when there appeared in favour of the charter being issued 41 ; against it , 24 . The charter

was accordingly issued , and we consider it a very righteous decision , as the opposition was based upon personal motives which should never find place in Freemasonry . Comp . Radcliffe then proposed , and Comp . Stevens seconded , that a charter be granted to the petitioners for the Hervey Chapter . After

some discussion , in which Comps . Smith , Bennoch , Scott and Nunn took part , the charter was granted . Comp . Savage being absent , his notice of motion necessarily lapsed . The Grand Chapter was closed in due form , and adjourned .

A " PYTHAGOREAN " ( suggestive name to Freemasons ) , writes to the Pall Mall Gazette , lamenting the tribulation he has had to undergo in carrying out his vegetarian theories . He relates his experiences at a restaurant not far from Regent-circus , in a somewhat amusing fashion , and sums up by dolefully describing his treatment as the case of

one who dares to choose his own diet in a free country . " EPILEPSY OR FITS . —A sure cure for this distressing complaint'is now made known in a Treatise ( of 4 S octavo pages ) on Foreign and native Herbal Preparations , published by Prof . O . Pnioi . rs BKOWN . The prescription was discovered by him in such a providential

manner that he cannot conscientiously refuse to make it known , as it has cured everybody who has used it for Fits , never having failed in a single case . The ingredients may be obtained from any chemist . —Persons desiring a copy may address Prof . O . PIIKI .

HOLLOWAY ' S OINTMENT AND PILLS . —Biliousness , Dyspepsia . —There is no organ in the human body so liable to derangement as lhe liver . Food , fatigue , climate , and anxiety , all disorder its action and render its secretion—lhe bile—more or less depraved , superabundant , or scanty . The first symptoms should receive attention . A pain in the side or the lop of the

shoulder , a harsh cough and difficulty of breathing , are all signs of liver disease , which are removed without delay by friction with Holloway ' s inestimable Ointment . The Pills should also be taken early . For all diseases of this vital organ lhe action of these conjoined remedies is a specific , by checking the over-supply of bile , regulating its secretion , and giving nervous tone . ADYT .
