and advantages of his friendship . There is not one of those friends who has not felt the deepest pain at the announcement made to-day ; there is not one of his Masonic brethren , or any one

with whom he has been personall y brougnt into contact , who cannot remember some of his kind acts , of his fraternal regard , some joy derived from his benignant presence . We all feci that a

great lig ht in Masonry has ceased , lias gone out . Wc have the consolation of knowing that he nhvays led a highly honourable life , and although lately his strength has been declining so much tha

he felt it his dut y to retire irom Masonry , still . i his latter years have been a period of comparative-I ease j and we , irc pleased to know that hc has been spared much pain in the last days of his

life , aud that without a lengthened trial of bodil y suffering hc was called to the Supreme Grand Chapter above , where I have no doubt he will rean thc reward of his deeds of charity and merer

which he so liberally dispensed here . I think ii would be ion unworthy of this Grand Chapter of England , meeting now in thc evening of the day on which we received thc melancholy tidings if we did not record on our tniuutcs the a " ., eai '

g rief with winch it has a < Dieted us . and with which wc are sure if . wi'l aillict everyone . We , therefore propose that some record of our grief should be placed on our minute'' . I . do not know

in what form it should be done , whether as ar address to the present Lortl Zetland , or whether a testimonial to the late Lord Zetland ' s virtues , but in some way or other 1 think we ought eertainh- not to allow his merits as our P . G . Z . to

pass unnoticed , and 1 think it would bo best done by an address 10 the present Earl , expressing the . regret wc feel at the late Paris death , and thc I g rateful remembrance in which we shall always

j hold his memory . j Comp . JM'Intyre , acting J ., thought this last v . :. s ihe proper course to take .

Grand Chapter then resolved that , * . record of its grief at the loss Masonry had sustained b y the death of Lortl Zetland should be entered on thi minutes .
