Masonic And General Tidings.
Masonic and General Tidings .
We understand that Bro . G . M . Tweddell is preparing for publication tales , poems , and Masonic papers , by Bro . Emra Holmes , yvith a memoir of the author . As Bro . Holmes kindly proposes to present any pecuniary profit that may be derived from the publication of the volume to a brother Mason yvho has been unexpectedly plunged in poverty in the declining * years of his life , and as the price
is only 2 s . 6 d ., we can safely recommend it to the notice of our readers . The yvork yvill be put to press as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained , for yvhich purpose names yvill be thankfully received by Tweddell & Sons , publishers , Stokeslcy , Yorkshire . The first performance of " Rheingold " has just passed off with brilliant success , in presence of the
German Emperor , the Emperor of Brazil , and other illustrious personages . The theatre was crowded , and the performance more than realized thc expectations that had been formed . At the end of thc opera thc applause was uproarious , and the calls for Wagner yvere unanimous and prolonged . The composer hoyvever , did not come fonvard to resoond to the enthusiasm of his admirers .
An important discovery has just been made at Pompeii . It consists ofa number of objects of gold and silver , and close to them the carbonized skeletons of tyvo men , yvho yvould seem to have been borne doyvn in the storm of ashes while endeavouring to escape yvith their valuables or plunder . Among the things found are eight rings , six pieces of money , tyvo pairs of earrings , one
single earring , two large armlets , each ornamented yvith thirteen pairs of half globes , yvith little shells upon them , held together by chaimvork , all of gold ; a silver ring , 332 pieces of silver money , a casserole of the same material , broken in pieces , and three large bronze coins . According to the "Political Correspondence" of Vienna , His Royal Hig hness thc Duke of Connaught will he nrewnf nt- lhe militarv manoeuvres to be held at
Zisterdorf ( Lower Austria ) toyvards the end ofthe present month . A reward of i ^ a so has been offered by the Government for information leading to thc conviction of thc murderer or murderers of Mr . Bravo ; and an offer ol pardon is held out to any accomplice , not being thc person yvho actually committed the murder , yvho shall give evidence leading to the same result . N EW W ORK OF T RAVEL AND D ISCOVERY .
Dr . Robert Broyvn , the popular author of " 1 he Races of Mankind , " & c , has for some time past been engaged upon a new and comprehensive work , yvhich yvill be published by Messrs . Cassell , Petter , & Galpin , in sevenpenny monthly paits , under the title of" The Countries of the World , " and will embrace graphic sketches of travel over land and sea ,
according to the latest discoveries . The Provincial Grand Master of Devon has decided to hold his next lodge at South Molton on Thursday , the 31 st elay of this month . It is noyv forty years since a Provincial Grand Lodge yvas held in this toyvn . South Molton can boast of one of the prettiest and best furnished lodges in Devon .
Mr . F . CaviU attempted on Tuesday the feat of syvimming across the Channel , but yvhen yvithin a few miles of the French coast he was obliged to relinquish his task . He took thc water at forty-two minutes past one a . m ., and left it after syvimming for nearly 12 hours . He was much exhausted . Bro . the Right Hon . George Ward Hunt , the
Fust Lord of the Admiralty , has left for his seat near Oundle , Noithampton . We understand that with Friday ' s ( the nth inst . ) issue the publication of thc " Hour " newspaper yvas discontinued . The " Hour'' yvas established in March , 1 S 73 , and has been from that time conducted with much energy and ability by Captain Hamber , formerly editor of
the " Standard . " The postage on letters addressed to Newoundland has been reduced to 2 * . d . per half ounce , if prepaid . We learn the talented artiste , Bro . Edgar Anderson , is meeting with very fair success at thc assembly rooms , Great Yarmouth , and St . Andrew ' s Hall . Gorleston .
Assisted by his drawing-room staff , the most prominent of yvhom is G . S . Graham , the celebrated organophonist , the amusements offered being most interesting . Bro . Anderson is a capital Shakesperian reciter . THE LIVINGSTONE STATUE . —Yesterday the statue of the late Dr . Livingstone , erected in East Princc ' sstreet Gardens , Edinburgh , was unveiled in presence ofthe
members of the Corporation , and a large assemblage of the general public . Among those present yvere Mrs . Alexander L . Bruce and Miss Anne Mary Livingstone , the Rev . Dr . Moffatt , father-in-law , and Miss Moffat , Mrs . Charles Livingstone , sister-in-layv of Dr . Livingstone , and her son , Mr . Charles Livingstone , and two daughters , thc Misses Livingstone , sisters of Dr . Livingstone , two
grandsons of Dr . Moffat , and Mr . A . L . Bruce , son-in-layv of Dr . Livingstone . The Lord Provost presided on thc occasion . Addresses were delivered by Josiah Livingstone , Dr . Moffat , and Mr . Duncan M'Laren , M . P . ( yvho formally hanled over the statue to the city ) . The Lord Provost then unveiled the statue amid loud cheers , and intimated the acceptance of it by the corporation . Mis . Bruce and Miss
Livingstone , daughters of Dr . Livingstone , placed two floral wreaths on thc pedestal yvhich yvas also festooned with evergreens by a number of young ladies . The figure of Livingstone , which yvas designed by Mrs . D . O . Hill , of Edinburgh , is in bronze .

CITY CHURCHES . — Another City church is about to be pulled doyvn—that of All Halloyvs , Breadstreet . It was built b y Wren in 1680 , on the site of one destroyed during the Great Fire , at a cost of £ 3348 , and has a tower 86 ft . high . Of this church Strype says , * ' On the south side of the chancel , in a little part of this church , called the Salters' Chanel , is a very fair window , with the
portraiture or figure of him that gave it , very curiously wrought upon it . This church , ruined in the Great Fire , is built up again yvithout any pillars , but very decent , and is a lightsome ' ehurch . . . . In thc 22 nd year of Henry VIII ., the 17 th of August , tyvo priests of this church fell at variance , that the one dreyv blood of the other , yvherefore the same church yvas susoended . and no service
si-moor said therein for the space of one month after ; the priests yvere committed to prison , and the 15 th of October , being enjoined penance , they went at the head of a general procession , barefooted and barelegged , before the children , yvith beads and books in their hands , from Paul ' s , through Cheap , Cornhill , Src . " Among the epitaphs the folloyving , given by Stow , is quaint : — " To the sacred memory of
that yvorthy and faithful minister of Christ , Master Richard Stocke , yvho , after 32 yeeres spent in the ministry , wherein by his learned labours , joined with wiscdome , and a most holy life , God ' s glory yvas much advanced , his Church edified , piety increased , and the true honour of the pastor ' s life maintained , deceased April 20 , 1626 . Some of his loving parishioners have consecrated this
monument of their never-dying love , January 28 , 1628 . " Milton , whose father yvas a scrivener in Bread-street , yvhere the poet was born on the yth of December , 1608 , was baptized in the church of All Halloyvs . The materials and site of the church are to be sold , and part of the proceeds is to be devoted to building a neyv church on a site yvithin the limits of thc metropolis , to be approved by the Bishop of
London . The neyv church is to be called All Halloyvs , and to be endoyved yvith £ noa year for the incumbent . The remains of the dead under the church are to be removed to the City of London Cemetery at Little Ilford . A suitable monument is to be erected over them by thc Commissioners of Sewer- ; , yvho have thc option of taking a portion of the site for the purpose of widening
Watlingstreet . The Admiralty have issued notices inviting tenders for the purchase of the ironclad shi p Vanguard , yvhich yvas sunk in the Irish Channel .
