THE BOYS' SCHOOL FESTIVAL .
The second of our great Charity Anniversary Festivals has passed away , amid circumstances of singular interest and great success . Under the Presidency of our Grand Master ,
we need hardly say , that full justice was done to the claims of the institution , as there are few more effective or powerful chairmen than our exalted brother .
We beg to commend his most admirable and truthful remarks to the notice of all thoughtful members of our Order , as they serve to express more forcibly and eloquently , what we for some
time have been seeking to impress upon our many readers . Bro . F . Binckes ' s untiring exertions have been rewarded with the liberal return of /" r ^ o-i 7 s .,
and we think such a fact in itself redounds not only to his credit , but to that of the numerous and active Stewards , and the many large-hearted members of our Order , who have again rallied
round the Boys School . The simple fact , that the first two anniversary meetings of our charities have produced the total sum of over £ 13 , , is not only full of
gratifying reflections , but must be a subject of some little pride to those who have worked so heartily in so good a cause , and to English
Freemasons everywhere . And so we conclude to-day with the good old adage , " Verbmn sat sapienti . "
The Grand Lodges Of Canada And Quebec.
THE GRAND LODGES OF CANADA AND QUEBEC .
We are happy , in being able to announce the adjustment of all existing differences between the Grand Lodge of the province of Quebec , and the Grand Lodge of Canada .
The Grand Lodge of Canada has consented in a very fraternal spirit , we understand , to withdraw her claim of jurisdiction over the province
of Quebec and all the lodges therein , which are to be duly enrolled in the registry of the Grand Lodge of Quebec .
The Grand Lodge of Canada also formally recognizes the Grand Lodge of Quebec , and will establish a fraternal communication with her . The Grand Lodge of Quebec has , it appears ,
already been acknowledged by nearly all the Grand Lodges in the United States , and by several Grand Lodges elsewhere . We are , then , glad to be able to announce a Masonic peace .
The Early Grand Encampment And The P. G. Lodge Of Glasgow.
THE EARLY GRAND ENCAMPMENT AND THE P . G . LODGE OF GLASGOW .
We have carefully perused the letter of " Fiat Justitia , " in our last issue , and assuming the writer ' s statement of facts to be correct , we do not profess to understand , what jurisdiction the
Prov . Grand Lodge ofjGIasgow has in the matter at all , or how it can interfere with the undoubted rights and privileges of a private lodge . It is quite clear , that , as a Craft Provincial Grand
The Early Grand Encampment And The P. G. Lodge Of Glasgow.
Lodge , it has nothing to do with Templar Masonry , and has no locus standi whatever , in seeking to pronounce an opinion , as to the comparative value of two rival Templar orders , of
which as a Craft body it does know nothing , and can know nothing whatever . If the lodge , thus unwisely and illegall y interfered with ,
according to our Craft Regulations , had let its rooms to a spurious body of Craft Masons , then undoubtedly the Craft authorities could intervene .
But m this case , a Craft Provincial Grand Lodge , professes to interfere with a Craft Lodge , because it has let its room to a body of Templars not in union with some Templar body , which
commends itself to the Craft Provincial Grand Lodge . Anything more injurious to Craft Masonry , than this tendency of some of our Craft
authorities to interfere with or take cognizance of Templary , cannot be well conceived , and it furnishes another argument , if argument be needed , to our Irish Brethren , to get rid at once
of any connection with any bodies or organizations whatever , extern to Craft Masonry . We shall await with much curiosity the defence , if any , of the Glasgow Provincial Grand Lodge .
Weekly Summary.
WEEKLY SUMMARY .
Her Majesty has returned to Windsor Castle , after holding a Court at Buckingham Palace on Friday . The Prince and Princess of Wales are at Marlborough House .
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh remain at Buckingham Palace , for the present . The entry of Her Majesty with the august couple into London , on Thursday , the 12 th inst ., and her passage through the streets of the metropolis , afforded unmixed gratification to
thronging masses of her people . Despite the falling snow and the prevailing cold , the warmth and loyalty of those vast crowds knew no bounds , and seldom , if ever , has there been evidenced a more striking proof of the unchanged loyalty and hearty attachment of all ranks and
conditions , in our industrious and well affected natun , to the person of the sovereign , and the great constituted authority of these realms . No doubt there was a good deal of honest English feeing for the newly-married couple , and of hearty welcome to the daughter ol the Czar , but : he
mainspring of all the remarkable pleasure md joyous welcome proclaimed by the long and dense fringe of patient bystanders on Thursday list , was a devoted attachment to the Sovereign personally , and to our English Royal Fanily generally . Her Majesty and her children seened
most sensible of the loyal manifestation ! of sympathy and goodwill , which they beheld md received from first to last , and all the arraigements alike of the military and of the police stem to have given the greatest satisfaction . The loyalty of Englishmen had changed our diigy streets " for the nonce , " into gay avenues of
hags , and carpeting and colour , and nothing was more remarkable than the cheerful good liuirour and orderly proceedings of the surging and < ongregated masses ! It was , in fact , a peojle ' s rejoicing with their Queen , and a peojle ' s welcome to a gentle stranger . Parliament is adjourned to the 19 th , wien the business of the Session will commence .
Some remarkable , correspondence has tacen place between Mr . Charles Orton and the Clobc newspaper , as regards his brother in Newjate , and both Mrs . Jury and Mrs . Pittendni gh have appeared on the scene . Mrs . Jury ,
who was not examined at the ( trial , maintains that the " gentleman " in Newgae is not her brother . Mrs . Pittendreigh seeits to say that he is undoubtedly Orton in pnpria persona . One is reminded of Box and Cox , and the strawberry leaf of the long lost brtther .
