The Masonic Mirror.

Bro . Henry George Warren , P . M . No . 202 , begged to nominate the Right Hon . Brother the Lord Southampton , feeling bound to do so in vindication of the principle of a resolution of which he had given notice , for limiting the period a G . M . could hold office .

This announcement evidently took Grand Lodge somewhat by surprise . At first there was , for an instant , silence—a deep calm—then , seeing that Bro . Warren was serious in his proposition , there was a very loud and general cheering from all parts of Grand Lodge , mingled , here and there , with laughter . A Brother then rose , amidst loud laughter , and wanted to ask Bro . Warren , through the Grand Master , whether he had the permission of Lord Southampton to make such a nomination .

The Grand Master said , he did not think he could allow such a question to be put ; but it would be for the Right Hon . Brother Lord Southampton to consider whether he could accept the office should they do him the honour to elect him . ( Hear , hear . )^ It was , therefore , not necessary that such a question should be put .

LODGES ERASED FROM THE LIST . The Grand Secretary said that the Lodges which stood upon the order for erasure were as follows : — No . 179 , Wakefield , Yorkshire . No . 603 , Reigate , Surrey . No . 651 , Deva Lodge , Chester . No . 662 , Castle Hedingham , Essex . No . 675 , Lodge of Fortitude , Newton Green , Cheshire . No . 681 , Lodge of Verity , Ripon , Yorkshire .

As there was some hope , it appeared , that No . 179 would be resuscitated , it was ordered to stand over . No . 603 had made the required returns and payments . The others were ordered to be erased .

BOARD OF BENEVOLENCE . At this stage of the proceedings the Scrutineers returned , and announced the names and numbers which follow : — Barnes 39 Lee 99 Burton 85 Adlard 130 Aldrich 97 Sheen 84 Robinson 122 Lyall 89 Barrett 84 Young 119 1 Varden 89 Gale 83

These were declared to be duly elected the Board of Benevolence for the year ensuing ; but the request being made by some Brother , the following list of the unsuccessful candidates , and the number of their votes , was also read : —¦ Adams 67 Andrew 77 H . S . Cooper .... 81 Couchman 76 Potter 73 Prince 71 Duff . 60 D . Samuels 75 H . G . Warren .... 67

REPORT OE THE BOARD OF BENEVOLENCE . The Grand Secretary then read the report of the relief afforded by the Board of Benevolence during the months of September , October , and November ; which was as follows : — September 24-, Bro . Crohn in the chair , four petitioners were relieved with sumH amounting in the aggregate to £ 60 . October 2 !) , W . Bro . John Hervey in the chair ; ten petitioners were relieved with sums amounting in the aggregate to £ 117 . It was also recommended to Grand Lodge to give £ 30 to the wife of a Brother under peculiarly distressing circumstances . November 26 , Bro . John Hervey in the chair , twelve petitioners were relieved in sums which amounted in the whole to £ 121 .
