should receive the prompt attention of the Supreme Grand Council , and also informed the brethren that the accounts were at all times , ( in office hours ) open for the inspection of all Brethren and Knig hts of the A . and A . Rite . All business being concluded the Council , was closed in ancient and solemn form iu the 30 ° .

present from the signature book , it was in a most offensive manner snatched from him by an individual having the appearance ( less the good manners ) of one of the Junior Waiters of the Tavern adorned with the Belt and Jewel of the 30 ° ]

LEGAL RUMOUUS It is believed in well-informed circles , that the vacant Lord Justiceship will not be filled up before February , the new legal commission which appeared in the London Gazette of Tuesday night , being likely to effect some changes .
