Masonic And General Tidings.

MASONIC CALENDAR . —To the thousands who range under the banner of Masonry in every part of the world , " The Cosmopolitan Masonic Calendar , Diary , and Pocket Book" has annually proved of the greatest service , and the edition issued for 18 77 by Bro . George Kenning , of London , Liverpool , and Glasgow , is in several respects superior to former publications . Information

respecting almost every Masonic Order in nearly every place on the face of the globe is here to be found in a ready form , and therefore the work never fails to be a valuable companion to Masons who travel as well as stay at home . An interesting feature of the present year's " Cosmo . " is the record of dates of the consecration of English lodges , and a glance at the list vvill show that the St . George's

Lodge , which now meets at the Adelp hi Hotel , first came into existence 150 years ago , the Lodge of Loyalty being the next oldest in the province , having been formed in 1753 . Thc Ancient Union dates from 1771 , the Perseverance also meeting in Hope-street from 1766 , the Harmonic meeting at the Adelp hi Hotel from 1772 , the Harmony ,

at Garston , from 1774 ; the Merchants' ( the most influential in the province ) from 1780 , and several others in the neig hbourhood boast nearly a century ' s existence . The Calendar is correctly and elegantly got up , and ought to be more popular than ever with the brethren of tbe " mystic tie . "—Liverpool Mercury .
