Masonic Notes .

The ceremony of Constitution of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Derbyshire , and the Installation of Bro . Abraham Woodiwiss as

R . W . Prov . Grand Master , will take place at Derby , on Monday next . The Pro Grand Master , the Earl of Euston , will perform the ceremony , and will be assisted by the Grand Secretary and other Grand officers .

Bro . The Right . Hon . Sir Michael E . Hicks Beach , Bart ., M . P ., attended at Stroud Subscription Rooms , on Tuesday last , for the purpose of consecrating a new chapter in Royal Arch Freemasonry to be called the Sherborne Chapter . The founders of this new chapter

are chiefly composed of brethren of the Sherborne and Hicks Beach Lodges of Craft Masonry . We are glad to hear that Bro . Sir Michael was attended by his hard-working deputy , Bro . R . Vassar Vassar-Smith , whose health has improved since his sojourn abroad ,

Masonic Notes.

We hasten to correct two errors , which we regret to say occurred in our article last week on ' * Masonic Benevolence in 1 S 94 " in connection with the particulars furnished in respect of the R . M . Benevolent Institution . In the first place , an item— " Interest on Cash at Call , . £ 25 os . 3 d . —was omitted altogether

from the Statement of Receipts for the year . In the next , as the £ 1260 received for " Perpetual Presentation " vvas included in the total of the Returns (; £ i 3 ioS 6 6 s . 7 d . ) from the Benevolent Festival , it should , in justice , have been added to the total of " Donations , & c , " received during the year

( . £ 14 , 112 ios . 3 d . ) , thereby raising the latter amount to ^ 15 , 372 ios . 3 d . As a consequence of this amendment , the excess of " Donations and Subscriptions " received during the year over the Festival Returns is increased , in the case of the three Institutions taken together , from . £ 1778 6 s . 4 d . to

£ 3038 6 s . 4 d . ; and in that of the R . M . Benevolent Institution particularly , from ^ 1026 3 s . 8 d . to . £ 2286 3 s . Sd . We regret this latter error all the more , because by omitting to note that this ^ 1260 had been made a separate item

in the Statement of Receipt , we very greatly detracted from the merit of Bro . Terry , as Secretary , and Bro . John Mason , as Collector , in gathering in so large a sum as , £ 14 , 112 ios . 3 d ., when the Festival Returns , after reducing them by the said £ 1260 , only amounted to - £ 11 , 82663 . ? d .

* We are likewise desirous of pointing out that in Bro . Terry's speech in the report of the " New Year ' s Entertainment at the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , " in replying to the toast of " Success to the

Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , " the annual contribution from Grand Chapter was , by a clerical error , set down at ^ 350 instead of ^ 150 . As this latter sum was specified in the Statement of Receipt , for the year by this Institution , our readers will no doubt have noticed , and for themselves corrected , this error .

The Quarterly General Court of the Governors and Subscribers of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls was held at Freemasons' Hall , on Thursday , the ioth instant , when , as will be seen from the report which appears elsewhere , a list of 41 candidates was approved , and 22 vacancies were declared for the election at the

April Court . » # # The M . W . Grand Master has appointed Bro . Lord Henry Bentinck to be R . W . Provincial Grand Mark Master of Cumberland and Westmorland , in succession to his father-in-law , the late Earl of Bective . The in '

stallation will take place during August . Next week Lord Henry Bentinck will also assume the office of S . W . of the Underley Lodge , No . 1074 , Kirkby Lonsdale . Last October , it will be remembered , his lordship was installed R . W . Provincial Grand Master ( Craft ) of Cumberland and Westmorland .

We are obliged to our Bro . G . Robinson , of Sydney N . S . W ., who signs himself "S . W . 656 , " for his letter , which appeared in our last week's issue , but we think he is going too far when he describes the statement in one of our " Masonic Notes , " of the the 27 th October

last , as being " absolutely incorrect . " We have always understood that the brethren in South Australia were unanimous in their desire for a Grand Lodge of their own , but it is clear that the unanimity was not absolute , as Bro . Robinson tells us that the Duke of Leinster No . 363 , is still working under its original Irish

warrant . As regards New South Wales , the Cambrian Lodge , No . 656 ( E . G . ) , joined with the rest of the lodges in the colony in the movement , and figures on the roll of its United Grand Lodge , nor does it invalidate our statement that some of its members now , and for some time past , claim to be the lodge

As for Tasmania , the fact that the lasmaman Union Lodge , No . 53 6 ( E . C ) , though it objected in the first instance , has since taken its place on the roll of the Grand Lodge of Tasmania , is , according to his own showing , a confirmation of our statement . * * »

With our statements absolutely correct in two out of these three Grand Lodges , and practically so in the case of the third , his assertion about their being " absolutely incorrect " is somewhat bold . The action subsequently taken by some members of Cambrian , No . 656 , after our Grand Lodge had recognised

that of New South Wales , being nothing to the point . As for the Combermere Lodge , No . 752 ( E . C ) , Melbourne , Victoria , we have known from the outset that this lodge held aloof from the local Grand Lodge , nor indeed was the Grand Lodge of Victoria included in our statement .
