" The district Board of General Purposes lately took into consideration the following letter from Col . Marmaduke Ramsay , Dist . G . M . " I should like the Board of General Purposes to consider whether we , as a Dist . G . Lodge should not subscribe tothe Corresponding Circle of the "Quatuor Coronati " No . 2076 Lodge .

" This lodge was established under the auspices of Bro . Sir Chas . Warren , K . C . B ., some three or four years ago , to enquire into , and go into , matters affecting the history and antiquarian side of Masonry : and is the only lodge under England , and I believe in the world which devotes itself to these most interesting subjects . I attach one of its prospectuses , and from it , the members of the Board

will see the objects the lodge sets before itself : and I can assure the Board and being a member , and in possession of its papers from its commencement , I speak of what 1 know , that the papers issued by this lodge , are of a most interesting and valuable kind . " The cost , is slight : entrance fee nil : annual subscription half a guinea , for which you receive copies of all the

lodge proceedings including all papers read at the meetings and discussions thereon . In order that the members may see the kind of information given , I have authorised the Dist . G . Secretary , to show them the 1 st Vol . of its proceedings which I have had bound up for my own satisfaction . " I would suggest that the Board should take the following proposition into consideration and note thereon . "That this Board recommend to Dist . G . Lodge that it

should join the "Corresponding Circle" of the "Quatuor Coronati" Lodge , No . 207 G , and subscribe for papers issued by it from date of its foundation . " "Should this be carried , 1 am convinced no regret will ever be expressed in the future : we should get possessed of a lot of valuable information and be contributing towards , and assisting in , the good work of unhearthing ancient records and old facts regarding Freemasonry in general . " Signed . M . RAMSAY , Col . D . G . M .

Nov . 2 nd 1 SS 9 , Malta . " The Board reported favourably , and we hear the District Grand Lodge has since applied and been elected to the correspondence circle , which is now rapidly approaching - a total of Soo members .

BRO . THOMAS H . STATON . With sincere regret the death is recorded of the late Bro . Thomas H . Staton , founder , P . M ., and Secretary of the Great Northern Lodge , 128 7 , who died very suddenly on the 27 th December , and whose remains were laid to rest at Brompton , on Saturday last . A

number of brethren and friends assembled to pay a tribute of respect to one who had earned their esteem by a faithful and zealous discharge of his Masonic duties for over 26 years . The service at the grave was touchingly rendered b y the Chaplain of the lodge , Bro . the Rev . John H . Rose , M . A ., Vicar of Clerkenwell . Amongst those present were Bros . Webb , P .

appointed for and took place on New Year s Eve , and the body interred in the family vault at the St . Marylebone Parochial Cemetery , East Finchley , the only occupant of the vault being the only son , who died August , 1884 , age 25 , leaving a widow ancl bab y son to the keeping of the now deceased father , who leaves a

widow also . The cortege was very punctual , arriving as timed , 2 . 30 ; following were the widowed wives of father and son ; accompanied by the grandson , the little fellow seeming greatly affected at his bereavement , also were in procession a number of mourning coaches containing members of his lodge , among whom were

noticed Bros . J . F . Rumball , W . M . ; H . K . Clisby , S . W . ; P . H . Clisby , J . W . ; J . J . Howes , P . M ., Treas . ; H . J . Lardner , P . M ., Sec . ; R B . Greenwood , P . M . ; R .

his establishment , and some personal friends . The beautiful burial service of the Church of England was most solemnly rendered by the officiating clergyman in attendance , and after a last sorrowful look into the grave the cavalcade formed on its mournful journey

home . The deceased brother , in addition to filling all the offices of the mother lodge , was a Past Master of the West Smithfield Mark Lodge , and P . P . S . West Smithfield Chapter . His loss will be felt b y many , and mourned for by all his brethren and fellows , and those who had his acquaintance and friendship .

Bro . Lord Halsbury ( Lord Chancellor of England ) will preside at the third annual banquet of " Devonians in London , " which will be held at the Criterion , on the Sth March next . We are glad to hear that Bro . the Marquis of Hartington ,

who was taken ill with congestion of the lungs the day following his arrival at Merlon , on a visit to Baron de Hirsh , is making good progress towards recovery , several days having elapsed since it was thought necessary to issue a bulletin of his lordship's condition .

" The district Board of General Purposes lately took into consideration the following letter from Col . Marmaduke Ramsay , Dist . G . M . " I should like the Board of General Purposes to consider whether we , as a Dist . G . Lodge should not subscribe tothe Corresponding Circle of the "Quatuor Coronati " No . 2076 Lodge .

" This lodge was established under the auspices of Bro . Sir Chas . Warren , K . C . B ., some three or four years ago , to enquire into , and go into , matters affecting the history and antiquarian side of Masonry : and is the only lodge under England , and I believe in the world which devotes itself to these most interesting subjects . I attach one of its prospectuses , and from it , the members of the Board

will see the objects the lodge sets before itself : and I can assure the Board and being a member , and in possession of its papers from its commencement , I speak of what 1 know , that the papers issued by this lodge , are of a most interesting and valuable kind . " The cost , is slight : entrance fee nil : annual subscription half a guinea , for which you receive copies of all the

lodge proceedings including all papers read at the meetings and discussions thereon . In order that the members may see the kind of information given , I have authorised the Dist . G . Secretary , to show them the 1 st Vol . of its proceedings which I have had bound up for my own satisfaction . " I would suggest that the Board should take the following proposition into consideration and note thereon . "That this Board recommend to Dist . G . Lodge that it

should join the "Corresponding Circle" of the "Quatuor Coronati" Lodge , No . 207 G , and subscribe for papers issued by it from date of its foundation . " "Should this be carried , 1 am convinced no regret will ever be expressed in the future : we should get possessed of a lot of valuable information and be contributing towards , and assisting in , the good work of unhearthing ancient records and old facts regarding Freemasonry in general . " Signed . M . RAMSAY , Col . D . G . M .

Nov . 2 nd 1 SS 9 , Malta . " The Board reported favourably , and we hear the District Grand Lodge has since applied and been elected to the correspondence circle , which is now rapidly approaching - a total of Soo members .

home . The deceased brother , in addition to filling all the offices of the mother lodge , was a Past Master of the West Smithfield Mark Lodge , and P . P . S . West Smithfield Chapter . His loss will be felt b y many , and mourned for by all his brethren and fellows , and those who had his acquaintance and friendship .

who was taken ill with congestion of the lungs the day following his arrival at Merlon , on a visit to Baron de Hirsh , is making good progress towards recovery , several days having elapsed since it was thought necessary to issue a bulletin of his lordship's condition .
