Bro. The Rev. John Bannister, L.L.D. (T.C.D.)

Vicarage , and on the funeral cortege leaving about "high noon , " they preceded the corpse , followed by a large number of friends , " rich and poor , " ' who had assembled to pay the last sad office of respect to departed merit . It was in

fact a funeral in which the whole town and neig hbourhood took part , all business being suspended , and the inhabitants generally being solicitous , outwardly , as well as privately , to testify to the general respect and esteem felt by them for their beloved vicar .

On the conclusion of the usual service , which was most impressively rendered , and in which the choir took a prominent part , Bro . the Rev . G . L . Church , P . AI . O 99 , P . Prov . G . Chap ., read one of the Masonic funeral charges in a most solemn manner , and delivered , as it was , over the grave of the departed , could not fail to prove

salutary to the living , and suggestive of tbe noble principles of Freemasonry . The brethren then walked in procession to the lodge , when Bro . William Pascoe , P . M . 1006 , took the chair , and having thanked the members and friends for their attendance , stated he would be pleased to hear any remarks suitable to thn

occasion . Bro . the Rev . G . L . Church then read another " charge , " after which Bro . W . H . Jenkins , P . M . 331 , P . Prov . S . G . W . . spoke for a few minutes on the life of the deceased , and how he had been so universally respected and beloved bv

all who knew him . Bro . W . J . Hughan , P . P . G . S ., followed b y expressing the heartfelt sympathy of the brethren in Truro , for the great loss the lodge had sustained in the removal of Dr . Bannister from their midst , and staled that he hoped all present

would endeavour to live according to the example which their beloved brother had so uniformly set them , both in and mil of the lodge . Bro . T . Solomon , J . P ., P . M . 331 , P . Prov . S . G . W ., also desired to unite with the brethren from Truro , in sincerely sympathising with the

Members of Tregullow Lodge ; and also with the bereaved widow and family . A general wish was expressed that a sho : t sketch of Dr . Bannister ' s Masonic career should be prepared by Bro . I lu ^ han , and before the brethren separated a vote ( if condolence was passed and lor warded by letter to Airs . Bannister , which , we hear , that lady receivi d with mark ' , d

appreciation . In addition to the foregoing brethren who attended , we no ' . ic . d Bios ! F . W . Dabb , P . M ., ^ 8 9 , P . Prov . G . J . W . ; Rev . F . II . A . Wright , * M . A ., P . M . 331 ' , P . Prov . Chap . ; John Hall , P . M . 699 , Prov . G . J . I ) . : Dr . Mugoe , P . M .

LORD DLKIIV . — in April lost , Lord Derby accepted an invitation from Bro . E . Sainniison , Mayor of Liverpool , to dine at the Town Hall . His lordship ' s family were , thrown into mourning on the eve of the banquet , which was , of course , postponed . Thursday , the irtth of October , has ' now been mimed as the day on

which his worship hopes to have the honour of entertaining the noble lord ; and the Mayor has privately intimated that it will g ive him much pleasure to see as many of the gentlemen who had accepted invitations to meet his lordship on the 25 th April last , as can conveniently be present .

The lifeboat contributed to tlie National Lifeboat Institution by the Independent Order of Good Templars , is to be placed at Sunderland . Mr . R . P . J . Simpson , of Livrpool , was the

first who suggested that the Order might present this boat to the Institution , aud the Rev . James Veames , of Kirkstall , wdio was appointed honorary secritary of the lifeboat fund , has been indefatigable in his exertions to promote its success .

Proposed Fine Art Gallery In Liverpool.

PROPOSED FINE ART GALLERY IN LIVERPOOL .

Much talk has taken place of late in Liverpool about a fine art gallery , worthy of the town , which is far behind Manchester , Edinburgh , Glasgow , and other places in this respect , and there is now every probability that the scheme will be carried out . This will not be

done by taxing the rate-payers , about which there has been no small outcry , but by the voluntary and noble liberality of several citizens of Liverpool . A few days ago , Mr . Picton , the Chairman of the Art Committee offered , to contribute

,- ; £ iooo towards tbe funds , if other gentlemen could be found to give the same amount , or if the requisite sum was raised by general subscription . It was felt that such a challenge should not be allowed to pass by unaccepted , and that the appeal thus made to the liberality of the merchant princes of Liverpool would receive a

hearty response ; nor has the reply been long delayed . Bro . Andrew George Kurtz , a large manufacturing chemist , residing at Grove House . Wavertrce , has intimated his intention to give .-i ' looo ; and scarcely was this second liberal donation made known , when Bro . Samuelson , the Mavor annonncdl to the Town Council thai

Mr . John Parrington , of the firm of Harding and Parrington , brewers , of St . James ' s-strect—had followed the exampleof Messrs . Picton and Kt . rtz , and promised .-: £ . ' 1000 . To this list of contributions are now added the names of Mr . James G . Houghton , merchant , of Sandheys , Waterloo , and Air . 'i Inmas Harding ( partner with Air .

Parrington ) . Gnat George-square , each of whom gives ehoco , thus swelling the contributions to . vi ' jooo . There is a rumour that several other well known public men are about to contribute with equal liberality , so that in a very short time , it may confidently be affirmed , the necessary amount of ,,- £ ' , 000 will be raised .

Ihe announcement made at the Council meeting on Wednesday week that valuable collection of paintings will be presented to the town immediately a place has been prepared tor their reception , should stimulate the zeal and liberality of those who can afford to help on this work , and

meanwhile contributions of pictures might be made , which could be treasured at the Town Hall till the gallery is completed . The public will no doubt duly appreciate the efforts thus being made to add a fine-art gallery to the other institutions of Liverpool ; and when they are

admitted within its walls , and scan the works of art with which the building will be adorned , their pleasure will be enhanced by the recollection that the institution has been raised without taking one farthing in the shape of increased taxes from the pockets of the ratepayers .

GOOD TI-. MPI . AR DKMONSTR ATIOX . — The quarterly convention of the Good Templar body lor the south-western division of Lancashire was held on Monday , the 8 th inst , at St . Helens . The delegates , nearly 300 iu number , assembled in the Independent Schoolroom , under the

presidency ol Mr . G . Whitehead , D . D . G . W . C . T . Afterwards a grand procession and demonstration of the local lodges was held in honour ol the event . Although the institution has been established in the district only two years , it has 14 6 lodges and about IP . IJOO members , and continues to make considerable progress .
