W . and Treas ., whose election to fill the chair appears to have given the utmost satisfaction , if we may judge from the unanimous way in which he has been elected . The Brethren mustered very strong on the occasion ; and amongst the visitors we noticed P . Ms . Fenwick aiidTulloch , and the W . M . of St . George ' s , No . 624 ,
North Shields . The Lodge having passed through the several Degrees , the retiring W . M ., Bro . Ridley , in a neat address , thanked the Brethren , especially his Officers , for their attention and able support , and proceeded to the business of the installation . Bro . Hewison , having been led forward , was duly installed in the chair . The W . M . elected his Officers in the following order : —R . S . Forster , S . W . ; J . J . Oliver , J . W . ; J . D .

The Lodge having been called to refreshment ,
the usual loyal and Masonic toasts were given , and responded to with enthusiasm . The beautiful and impressive ceremony of the installation was conducted and given by P . M . Ridley , in a very efficient and forcible manner .
