Reports of Masonic Meetings .

THE CRAFT . METROPOLITAN . Royal Oak Lodge , No . 871 . —This lodge met on Wednesday , the 27 th ult ., at the Royal Oak Tavern , Highstreet , Deptford . Bro . F . Walters , P . M . and Sec , opened the lodge , the W . M . being unavoidably absent . It was

unanimously resolved to move the lodge to the White Swan Inn , High-street , Deptford . One brother in distress had five pounds voted to him from the charity fund . The lodge was closed ; no banquet was had . The brethren separated directly after the lodge was closed . Visitor , Bro . T . N . Moore , 73 .

Southern Star Lodge , No . 1158 . — When nearly all the other lodges have ceased their labours for some months to come , and when everyone , is anxious to get away from business and enjoy their fortnight or their month , as the case may be , at the seaside , this young lodge , which is held at Bro . Allan ' s , the Montpellier Tavern , Walworth , is found to bc hard at work in Masonry , and certainly the

way in which they perform that , entitles them to much credit . On Tuesday evening last week , an extra meeting was held for the purpose of initiating three gentlemen into the mysteries , & c , ofthe Order , besides which there were the names of six brethren on the paper for passing , and seven for the more sublime degree . Punctually at the time stated in the summons , thc W . M ., Bro . D . S .

Bayfield , opened thc lodge , and was supported by the following brethren : —Bros . Chas . E . Thompson , S . W . ; Towers , I . W . ; T . II . Pulsford , P . M . and Sec . ; Kipps , J-D . ; Dean , Asst . Sec . ; Bolton , I . G . ( pro . tem . ) ; H . Potter , P . M ., W . Steward ; H . Thompson , P . M . and Treas . ; R . E . Clarke , P . M . ; G . McDonald , W . Hunt ( solr . ) , R . Harris , S . Moore , C . Walker , T . Eyre Ellis , A .

Myers , Allatt , Heifer , J . Lee , Beadwell , J . Potter ; the visitors were , Bros . Noak ( P . M . Vitruvian ) , Henry lies ( 141 ) , and Mollyon ( 1266 ) . The business commenced with the raising of four brethren , followed by the passing of four . The W . M . then initialed two of the gentlemen in attendance , and at a later period in the evening , Bro . Clarke initiated thc third gentleman . The W . M . having

risen to inquire whether any brother had aught to propose , & c , Bro . Chas . E . . Thompson , S . W ., proposed , that a summer festival be held at a place ancl time to be afterwards appointed , and also that tlie ladies be permitted to join them , and spoke of the success which had attended thc meeting of the Domatie Lodge , when the ladies were invited to join them at dinner . He hoped that as it was

the only opportunity the ladies could have of coming amongst them , and as their society always tended lo elevate them , that liis motion would be carried . —Bro . Thos . I-I . Pulsford , P . M . and Sec , seconded the resolution . —Bro . Potter , P . M ., would not oppose the motion , and if it were carried would go with the brethren , but at tlie same time he thought it wns late in the season . —After

a short discussion , Bro . Thompson was asked lo withdraw liis motion , but he declined to do so , and pressed for a vote upon the question , which when taken was given against him . There being no other business , the brethren adjourned lo the new Mavjnic Hall , where the cloth was laid , and when a good meal hid been partaken of ( justly earned by four ' hours' labour ) , the usual

routine toasts were given . The Worshipful Master proposed ihe healths ofthe "Initiates , " in a bumper . Bro . Hitchcock responded , and after expressing his thanks for the honour conferred upon himself and brother initiates , said he hoped , with God ' s help to maintain and uphold the pi- ' maples of Freemasonry , and prove themselves worthy brothers . ( Hear , hear . ) Bro . Clarke , I . P . M .,

proposed , the W . M ., who in liis turn responded , and proposed tlie "P . M . ' s , " for which Bro . Thompson , P . M . and Founder , expressed their acknowledgement . The toast of the " Officers" was responded to by the S . W ., but net before the presence of the visitors had been recognised . The Tyler ( Bro . Laing , P . M ., ) then gave tlie concluding toast , and the brethren separated .

Orders Of Chivalry.

ORDERS OF CHIVALRY .

BIRMINGHAM . —Rose of Sharon Conclave , No . 19 . — The regular quarterly meeting of this conclave was held at the Masonic Hall , Birmingham , on the 21 st ult . There was a fair attendance of chevaliers , including the Inspector-General ofthe Province . Tlieusual preliminaries having been gone through , Sir Knt . T . Partridge , M . P . S .-elect ( who had been previously enthroned as Sov . of the Order

RED CROSS OF ROME & CONSTANTINE . PROVINCIAL .

by the Grand Sov . in the Premier Conclave ) , was formally inducted into the chair . The ballot for several candidates proved unanimous in their favour , ancl five of the number being present were duly installed as Knights Companions . A College of Viceroy ' s was afterwards opened , and the degree of Eusebius conferred on four Sir Knts ., and approved of by the G . S . The whole of the

proceedings went off in a most satisfactory manner . This conclave , only twelve months old , now numbers thirtythree subscribing members . The success of the Order in Warwickshire is owing to the zeal and unanimity displayed by all who have joined in establishing it . Great disappointment was felt at the absence of one or two members of the Grand Senate who had promised their

attendance and assistance on this occasion . The presence of a member of the Grand Council or Senate , at meetings of country conclaves would not only show that interest was taken in the progress ofthe Order , but that those in authority were anxious to assist provincial brethren in perfecting the work , and establishing uniformity of ritual .

MR . CARLYI . E has been nominated unanimously to the oflice of President ofthe London Library , in place of the late Lord Clarendon . MESSRS . GALIGNANI , the proprietors ofthe wellknown Calignaui's Messcni / er published in Paris , having built an hospital in that city for die benefit of poor

British strangers or residents , have generously offered the same to the British Government , together with an endowment for maintaining it in operation . This offer , however , the British Government has declined . All thc expenses ofthe hospital are being defrayed by Messrs . Galignani .

CROSBY ' S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER . — Opiates Narcotics , and Squills are loo often invoked to e ; ive relief in Coughs , Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . ^ Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at thc expense of enfeebling thc digestive organs and thus increasing that debility which lies at the root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s Balsam ' c Cough Elixer , as the true remedy . —Select Testimonial . Dr . Rooke , Scarborough , author of the * 'Anti-Lancet , ' * says : "I have

repeatedly observed how very rapidly and invariably it subdued cough , Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and I can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct ^ to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , which is free from opium and squills , not only allays thc local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens tie constitution . Hence it is used with the most signal succ . 'ss in

Asthmas , IJronclntis Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , aud all affections of the throad and chest . Sold by all respectable CJiemists and Patent . Medicine Dealers , n bottles at ts . c , d ., 4 s . fid . and tis each , and wholesale by J . M .
