Obituary.
of the London branch of the Order of St . Lawrence , which has been since merged in the system known as the Allied Degrees . Lastly , and perhaps we are justified in saying chiefly , he was one of the brightest and most particular stars in the Ancient and Accepted Rite , having been perfected Rose Croix by the late Dr . Leeson in 1856 , and having subsequently occupied the chair of M . W . S . in the
Vectis and Metropolitan Chapters . He further received the 30 in 1 S 56 , the year of his perfection as a S . P . R . C , the 31 in 1 S 57 , the 32 ° in 1 S 59 , and the 33 in 1869 , while till failing sight compelled him to surrender the trust , he was for years first of all Secretary of the Rite , and afterwards Assistant Secretary to the Supreme Council , the latter of these posts being now filled by his son , Bro .
Prosper Pullen . If to the roll of offices and positions we have enumerated we add that one of his great delights was to preside at and personally assist in some one or other of our most important and exacting functions—such , for instance , as the installation of some Principal in one of the many Masonic systems with which he was connected , or the consecration of some new Iodge , chapter , council , or
what not—we shall have said enough to show that as his ability in all matters of ritual and ceremonial was conspicuous above the average of prominent workers , so was his ambition to be of service in these respect- ; almost insatiable . It was only when he found the weight of years press too heavily upon him that he consented to lay aside this portion of his work . As to our Institutions , he gave them
a most able and active support . He had taken part in their government , he had acted as Steward for each of them at more than one Festival , and he had contributed out of his means towards their maintenance , having long since qualified as a Life Governor of all three . It was in this way he illustrated his love for those principles of the Craft , of which in lodge , chapter , and conclave , he was so capable an exponent , and by thus acting confirmed himself in the
high opinion of his brother Masons . In short , in Bro . Hyde Pullen we have lost a " guide , philosopher , and friend , " whom it will be difficult to replace . Yet his fame will never need replacing , but will live always in the memory of those who knew him , and will be by them passed on to later generations of the Craft . May his career , which was sobeneficial while he was amongst us , be equally beneficial as an example to be follo . ved by his fellow Gaftsmen !
BRO . THE DUKE OF LEINSTER .

Frederick , 3 rd Duke , who was Grand Master of Ireland for the protracted term of sixty-one years—from 1813 to 1874 . The deceased was premier Duke , Marquis , and Earl in the peerage of Ireland , and is succeeded in the title and estates by his son Gerald , Marquis of Kildare , born in 1 S 51 .

Masonic And General Tidings
Bro . W . A . Higgs , of Willenhall Park , Barnet , has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute . A very successful concert was held in the Town Hall , Castleblayney , on Friday , the 4 th inst ., under the auspices of the Harmony Lodge . An excellent programme was given , and the hall was well filled with an enthusiastic audience .
A special convocation of the Provincial Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Durham was arranged to be held in the Masonic Hall , Sunderland , on Thursday , the 17 th inst , for the purpose of taking into consideration the revised by-laws of the province .
Bro . Frederick Kent , solictor , of 105 , Cheapside , has been appointed special agent in London for the Eldon Club , Norwich , and has charge of the arrangements connected with their visit to the Metropolis on the occasion of the celebration of the Queen ' s Jubilee .

W . Musto , P . M . 1349 ; L . A . Da Costa , S . D . 1349 ; W . Richardson , S . D . 174 ; and many others . The attendance of brethren is invited .
We must congratulate Bro . Henri Bue , the esteemed VV . Master of Lodge La France , No . 2060 , on having received from the French Minister of Public Instruction , the diploma and jewel of an "Officier L'Academie , " awarded to him for his valuable services to the cause of education , during a period of close upon a quarter-of-acentury .
The annual party of the brethren of the Rifle Lodge , No . 405 , Edinburgh , came off in the Freemasons ' Hall , on Thursday , the 3 rd inst ., the guests , who numbered about 1 S 0 , being received by Bro . James Thompson , R . W . M ., and several of his office-bearers . Dancing to the band of Bro . James Blackie was kept up until an advanced hour next morning , every one enjoying themselves
most thoroughly . In connection with the centenary sermons about to be preached in the Church of St . John the Baptist , Clerkenwell , in aid of the funds of the Dispensary , we may state that one of them will be delivered by Bro . the Rev . Dr . Robert Maguire , lately Vicar of St . James ' s Clerkenwell , and now Kector of St . Olave , Southwark , who will
thus occupy the pulpit made famous by the sermons of the celebrated Rev . John Wesley , founder of the Sect bearing his name . At the meeting of the Humber Lodge , No . 57 , Hull , on the 3 rd inst ., Bro . Walton , P . M ., was presented with a Past Master ' s jewel and a handsome silver tea service bearing the inscription : " Presented to Bro . John
Walton by the members of the Humber Lodge , No . 57 , as a testimony of their respect and esteem , and as a memento of his valuable services as Worshipful Master in the year 18 S 5 . " The presentation was made on behalf of the lodge by Bro . W . Tesseyman , P . M ., and feelingly acknowledged by Bro . Walton . At a meeting of the committee of the National
Union Club , held on Thursday , the loth inst ., Bro . Viscount Pollington in the chair , it was unanimously resolved that the sincere condolence of the committee , officers , and members of the National Union Club be tendered to the family of the late Bro . Peter Rylands , M . P ., one of the Vice-Presiden : s , to which resolution the Chairman added very graceful testimony to the worth and political career
of the deceased gentleman . The deceased member was , we believe , a member of the Lodge of Lights , No . 14 S , Warrington . The members of the De Grey and Ripon Lodge , No . 837 , Ripon , entertained at tea in the Victoria Hall in that city upwards of 500 poor people above the age of 40 , the wives and lady friends of the members presiding at
the tea tables , while the brethren in Masonic clothing ministered to the wants of their guests .

the audience expressing themselves as delighted with the arrangements . Bro . the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor has kindly undertaken to preside at the 98 th Anniversary of the City Dispensary , Watling-street . The festival will take place at the Albion Tavern , Aldersgate-street , on Thursday next , the 24 th inst ., when we trust a rich harvest of donations
and subscriptions will be gathered in . The institution is one that effects a large amount of good . Its funds are carefully and wisely admirii-tcred , and though the audited statement nf accounts for the past year shows a balanee on the right side , it is clear from the fact of most of the income being derived from voluntary contributions , as well as from the very large aggregate of applicants who seek
medical help during the year , that a larger amount of funds is necessary in order to enable the Dispensary to continue its work efficiently . Dows , CLARK , AND Co . —Bar Fittings and Utensils , & c . —We beg to draw attention to the excellence of the different kinds of apparatus manufactured by Messrs . Dows , Clark , and Co ., of Compton House , Frith-street ,
Soho , for hotel and tavern bars , and the skill and taste exhibited in their manufacture . No doubt many of our readers must have seen specimens of the fittings and utensils manufactured by this firm which were exhibited at the various Exhibitions latterly held at South Kensington , and to which several prizes were adjudged . But those who
would learn full particulars as to quality , prices , & c , & c , & c , should visit the premises of the firm , 46 and 47 , Frith-street , Soho , W ., where Bro . Clark will have great pleasure in showing them every description of article or fitting which is required in a bar , the quality of the apparatus being guaranteed .

Bro . E . Dresser Rogers , C . C , presided at a meeting , held in the Camberwell Vestry Hall , on Wednesday , the oth inst ., in support of a proposal to commemorate
the Queen ' s Jubilee by erecting a Fine Art Gallery and Museum in South London . We beg to draw our readers' attention to the approaching celebration of the Annual Festival of the Emulation Lodge of Improvement , which will take place on Friday next , the 25 th inst ., under the presidency of Bro . the Earl of Milltown , P . S . G . W . of England . The
usual banquet will follow . Full particulars will be found in our advertisement columns . PERRY AND COMPANY , LIMITED . —The twelfth ordinary general meeting of this company will be held at the offices , No . 36 , Lancaster-street , Birmingham , on Tuesday next , the 22 nd instant , when the repurt of the Directors will be submitted , and a dividend of ten percent .
for the year will be recommended , the sum of £ 2000 being placed to the reserve fund . MASONIC BAZAAR IN NEWRY . —The brethren of Newry district have for a considerable time felt the want of a suitable hall in which to hold their meetings , and they have now resolved to build one . For this purpose funds are needed , and the brethren intend holding a bazaar and
fancy fair in June next in order to raise the amount required . 1 he bazaar will be under the patronage of Bro . Lord Arthur Hill , M . P ., Prov . G . M . of Down , and Lady Arthur Hill . The Secretaries are Bros . Jas . W . Savage and Jos . Wright , and they will be glad to receive subscriptions or contributions of work . The object is a deserving one , and it is to be hoped that the members of the Order in Newry
will be generously supported . The preparations for the American Exhibition at Earl ' s Court are rapidly approaching completion . Contracts have been given out within a few days to Djulton and Co ., for lavatories and sanitary appliances j the Anglo-American Brush Electric Light Co ., for huge "Search " lights for the Wild West grounds , and the Thornton and Houston Arc-lights for the buildings . Babcock and Wilcox boilers
will supply the huge Wheelock engine j T . and W . Farmiloe will supply 75 , 000 square feet of glass for rooflights ; the Butterley Iron Co . the ironwork ; and Lee and Chapman all the lumber and timber . M . Bartholdi , the sculptor , will loan an immense oil painting of the Harbour of New York , to which is added a panoramic view of that city and Brooklyn and Jersey City , and also a replica of his famous Statue of Liberty , erected on Bedloes Island , in New York Harbour .
The General Cemetery Company , which is proprietor of the great metropolitan Cemetery at Kensal Green , was established by Act of Parliament in 1832 , and may be said to have inaugurated the practice of extra-mural burying , a practice which , owing to the overcrowded condition ot the London churchyards , had been advocated many years before its adoption , but which speedily became more
general , and is now made imperative by the law of the land . But though many cemeteries have been laid out since the passing of the aforesaid Act of 1832 , that at Kensal Green retains its prestige among them both on account of the admirable manner in which it is laid out and the care taken by the General Cemetery Company of the graves and monumental records within its confines , and by reason of
the many ditinguished persons who lie buried there . Indeed , so numerous are the men and women of eminence who have been interred in this cemetery , and so varied the positions in which they won their fame , that it would not prove a very difficult task after studying the inscriptions on the chief monuments and tablets , lo compile a fairly correct history of the last 50 or 60 years . Poets , painters ,
musicians , philanthropists , soldiers and sailors , senators , & c , & c , are numerously represented in this sacred spot , and even members of our Royal Family have at their own wish been buried here rather than the Royal vault at Windsor . But what makes Kensal Green Cemetery interesting to Masons above all other metropolitan Cemeteries is the fact that it contains the mortal remains of many
former brethren , and especially of H . R . H . the Duke of Sussex , Grandj Master of England , 1813-43 , whose monument , as well as that of his sister , H . R . H . the Princess Sophia , is among the most noteworthy memorials in Kensal Green . Perhaps as regards that of our former illustrious Grand Master , it would be more strictly correct to say that it would be one of the most notewoithy , and monumentally ,
one of the most attractive . Unfortunately , it has been allowed to fall into a sadly dilapidated condition , as we can avouch from personal inspection not long since ; and it might not perhaps be amiss if among the multifarious objects which have suggested themselves to the brethren in connection with the Queen ' s Jubilee a proposal to renovate the monument of her late illustrious uncle , our Grand Masterto whose
, fostering care at the Union we owe so much , were included . At all events , brethren who would see the Duke's monument and judge of its present condition for themselves can visit the cemetery , and if they would see the catacombs , chapel , & c , and obtain fuller particulars than we have space to furnish , they have but to apply to the offices of the General
Cemetery Company , 95 , Great Russell Street , Bloomsbury , where they will be courteously received and furnished with the information they desire , or they can obtain a brief sketch of the Cemetery , with particulars of its most valued monuments , which as been compiled by Mr . Henry Croft , an official of the Company , and published by the latter .
HOLLOWAY ' S OINTMENT AND PILLS . —During everv break of wintry weather exertions should be made by ihe afflicted to recover health before unremitting cold and trying storms set in . Throat ailments , coughs , wheezings , asthmatical affections , shortness of breath , morning nausea , and accumulations of p hlegm can . readily be removed by rubbing this fine derivative Ointment twice a day npon the chest and neck . Hollowav ' s treatment is
strongly recommended with the view of giving immediate e ; se , preventing prospective danger , and effecting peimanent relief . These all-important ends his Ointment can accomplish , and wi . l surely prevent insidiou 3 diseases from fastening on the constitution to display themselves afterwards in those disastrous forms that will probably embitter life till death itself is almost prayed for .

The General Cemetery Company , which is proprietor of the great metropolitan Cemetery at Kensal Green , was established by Act of Parliament in 1832 , and may be said to have inaugurated the practice of extra-mural burying , a practice which , owing to the overcrowded condition ot the London churchyards , had been advocated many years before its adoption , but which speedily became more
general , and is now made imperative by the law of the land . But though many cemeteries have been laid out since the passing of the aforesaid Act of 1832 , that at Kensal Green retains its prestige among them both on account of the admirable manner in which it is laid out and the care taken by the General Cemetery Company of the graves and monumental records within its confines , and by reason of
the many ditinguished persons who lie buried there . Indeed , so numerous are the men and women of eminence who have been interred in this cemetery , and so varied the positions in which they won their fame , that it would not prove a very difficult task after studying the inscriptions on the chief monuments and tablets , lo compile a fairly correct history of the last 50 or 60 years . Poets , painters ,
musicians , philanthropists , soldiers and sailors , senators , & c , & c , are numerously represented in this sacred spot , and even members of our Royal Family have at their own wish been buried here rather than the Royal vault at Windsor . But what makes Kensal Green Cemetery interesting to Masons above all other metropolitan Cemeteries is the fact that it contains the mortal remains of many
former brethren , and especially of H . R . H . the Duke of Sussex , Grandj Master of England , 1813-43 , whose monument , as well as that of his sister , H . R . H . the Princess Sophia , is among the most noteworthy memorials in Kensal Green . Perhaps as regards that of our former illustrious Grand Master , it would be more strictly correct to say that it would be one of the most notewoithy , and monumentally ,
one of the most attractive . Unfortunately , it has been allowed to fall into a sadly dilapidated condition , as we can avouch from personal inspection not long since ; and it might not perhaps be amiss if among the multifarious objects which have suggested themselves to the brethren in connection with the Queen ' s Jubilee a proposal to renovate the monument of her late illustrious uncle , our Grand Masterto whose
, fostering care at the Union we owe so much , were included . At all events , brethren who would see the Duke's monument and judge of its present condition for themselves can visit the cemetery , and if they would see the catacombs , chapel , & c , and obtain fuller particulars than we have space to furnish , they have but to apply to the offices of the General
Cemetery Company , 95 , Great Russell Street , Bloomsbury , where they will be courteously received and furnished with the information they desire , or they can obtain a brief sketch of the Cemetery , with particulars of its most valued monuments , which as been compiled by Mr . Henry Croft , an official of the Company , and published by the latter .

Hollowav ' s treatment is
strongly recommended with the view of giving immediate e ; se , preventing prospective danger , and effecting peimanent relief .
