ROYAL MASONIC BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION .
The committee of this Institution met on Wednesday afternoon at Freemasons' Hall , Bro . Benj . Head in the chair . The other brethren present were J oseph Smith , Griffiths Smith , John G . Stevens , Major J . Creaton , J . Nv : wton , William Stephens , Janies Brett , Richd . Spencer ,
Raynham W . Stewart , John Bellerby , C . F . Hogard , H . M . Levy , J . E . Saunders , John Constable , H . Massey { Freemason ) , and James Terry , ( Secretary ) . The Secretary reported that the brother who was an annuitant and had been a trustee of one of the funds , who refused to sign
the transfer of his trusteeship , had at length done so , and there would be no further , difficulty on that head . He also reported that Messrs . Cutbush , the florists , had made a present to the Asylum at Croydon of some rose trees . The report of the House Committee was read , and application was made by a widow of a
late annuitant for half her husband s annuity . This application was granted , and petitions were received from seven candidates , six of whom were accepted . Permission was granted for the use of the hall of the asylum for an entertainment to be given to the inmates at the commencement of the year ; and the committee then adjourned .
We are all a kind of chameleons , taking our hue—the hue of our moral character—from those who are about us . —LOCKE .
HOLLOWAYS' PILLS . —Health and Vigour . —To the most regular livers occasional disturbances of digestion will occur , which may be corrected at once by these famous pills , the alterative and tonic powers of which cannot be too highly extolled . A dose now and then wil ! prove salutary to every one , though a continued course must be taken by the confirmed invalid . It is wonderful how the appetite
and the digestion improve in proportion as the pills exert their wholesome influence over the animal economy . They augment muscular strength and mental vivacity , and give to the constitutionally weak power never before experienced , and never expected in their debilitated frames To many invalids this medicine has vouchsafed a career of usefulness and prosperity . —ADVT .

MASONIC FUNERAL IN GLASGOW . The remains of Bro . A . McPherson , late P . G . S ., Lodge Clyde ( 408 ) were interred in the Southern Necropolis , on Sunday 29 th ult . The procession having reached the burying ground at about 1 . 45 P . M ., the brethren opened up in line and saluted the remains of their deceased brother as
they were borne to the house appointed for all living on the shoulders of the different Wardens who were present . The last rites by the grave side were performed by Bro Mitchell , D . M . ( 408 ) , and at the words " dust shall mingle with the dust " each brother dropped a sprig of
evergreen into the giave , and the remaining ceremonial was completed with due observance of the ancient landmarks of the Order . Before leaving the ground Bro . Mitchell dismissed those assembled with a blessing . There were present ,

Apart from the very general esteem in which the deceased gentleman was held , the fact that his obsequies were honoured by the impressive ceremonial observed at Masonic funerals ,
contributed to heighten the public interest on the present occasion . It is worthy of remembrance that , on the occasion of the last Masonic funeral—that of Bro . Frere—the deceased gentleman , whose remains were similarly honoured yesterday , led the service himself in a singularly
impressive manner . The brethren of the two Masonic Lodges on the Thames—Lodge of Light , I . C , and Sir Walter Scott , S . C—came up from Grahamstown , forty miles from here , by the " Golden Crown , " arriving in Auckland at 11 . 30 a . m . The two lodges numbered

II . —When he dieth , shall he carry anything away with him ? Response . —He brought nothing into the world , and it is certain he can carry nothing
out . I III . —The Lord gave , and the Lorcvhath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord . Response . —God is our God for ever . He will be our guide and support through the dark valley of the shadow of death .
Grand Honours . Prayer by the Chaplain . On the arrival of the Scotch brethren at the Masonic Hotel they were met by the lodges assembled there and having , and , having formed a procession in the following

The brethren were all in full regalia , except the English Lodge , who had no opportunity of obtaining a dispensation , and carried the various Masonic emblems to which mourning bows were attached . Amongst the long train of mourners were his honour the Superintendant
and the members of the Provincial Executive ; and the legal , clerical , medical , and mercantile professions were all well represented . At various points along the road knots of people were assembled to witness the procession , ami the blinds of most of the houses along the route
were drawn down out of respect to the deceased . The procession itself was upwards of a mile in length , extending from the Captain Cook Hotel to the top of the Kyber Pass Road . On reaching the cemetery gates the Masonic advanced body opened out out to let the hearse pass through , and then reversed their order of
marching , so as to let the oldest lodges take the order of precedence . The coffin was carried to the grave by six members of the St . Andrew ' s Lodge , to which the deceased- brother had belonged , and the following Past Masters acted as pall-bearers : —Bros . Stephenson , Brock , Anderson , Brodie , Power and Dewar . At this time there must have been from one thousand

read in a solemn and impressive manner by Bro . the Rev . David Bruce , and on its termination , the coffin being lowered , Bro . the Rev . P . Hill , standing at the foot of the grave , went through the following Masonic Service : —
May we be true and faithful , live and die in love , for thc memory of the just is blessed : Response . —So mote it be . The Lord bless us and keep us—the Lord make his face to shine upon us—the Lord lift upon us the light of His countenance , and give us peace . Response . —So mote it be .
All . —Glory be to God in the highest , on earth peace , good will toward men .
Prayer by the Chaplain . The brethren then passed round the grave and dropped each a sprig of acacia into it ; the lambskin apron of the deceased Mason was also cast into the grave . The Masonic service being concluded , the brethren returned in reversed order , and closed the lodge .
