In addition to tlie Dep . Prov . G . M . and other Prov . G . Officers , the following visitors stayed to the banquet : Bros , the Rev . A . G . Davies , W . M . No . 730 ; W . Barns , P . M . No . 730 ; —Waring , J . W . No . 435 ; and W . Bristow , sen ., M . of Cers . No . 824 . Thanks having been returned hy Bro . the Rev . A . G . Davies to the G . A . O . T . U . for His mercies then received , and the customary loyal toasts having been drunk , the W . M . proposed that of " The- Dep . Prov . G . M ., " coupled with the

other Prov . G . L . Officers , whom they were rejoiced to see among them . The W . M . said he trusted that the Dep . Prov . G . M . would find that the Brethren had not been unmindful of the trust reposed in them , as might have been the case with some Lodges when not overlooked ; and that their condition that night would prove they had been honest and zealous workers for the good of the Craft in general , and that Lodge in particular . He again expressed his delight at seeing Bro . Lechmere , and trusted that he would often come over to look them up , and keep them up to that high mark it should ever be the objecK of Masons to attain .

The Dep . Prov . G . M . in acknowledging the toast , said that he had some little diffidence in paying this , his first visit , tothe oldest Lodge in the Province . He was delighted with the kindly and brotherly reception given to him by their excellent W . M ., as also with the cordiality evinced by the Officers and Brethren . He was glad to see so good an attendance at the Lodge , and congratulated the members upon the manner in which the W . M . went through the duties of the evening . Although but a young Mason , he ( the Dep . Prov . G . M . ) thought he might still

be able to express an opinion upon Masonry , for during the eight years he had been in the Order he worked his way up honestly and fairly . Initiated just after he had attained his 21 st year , he held the office of Secretary to the Apollo ( University ) Lodge , Oxford , No . 460 ;¦ then in one of theWorcester Lodges he passed through the several chairs . Having thoroughly attended to his duties in these offices , to the best of his ability , he hoped that in discharging the higher duties of the responsible office to which he had been appointed , he should not be found

wanting . The Dep . Prov . G . M . alluded with great satisfaction to two suggestions made to him since his entry into the Lodge , and in the propriety of which he expressed his concurrence . The one was , the distribution of the cost incurred by a Grand Lodge visit over the several Lodges of a Province . As the custom stood now , one Lodge bore the whole of the burden—unless there happened to be another Lodge in the same town—and it was frequently ruinous , cramping their

energies , strewing their path with difficulties , and possibly leading to a final erasure of their warrants . The other suggestion was respecting the jewels of the Prov . G . L . Officers , which were frequently lost , necessitating the purchase of new jewels by officers to replace those lost by their predecessors . The suggestion would meet this difficulty . It was proposed that a Prov . G . L . Officer should deposit , with his fee of honour , the cost of the jewel , so that the party who lost it would be the sufferer , and not the Brother who was elected to his office .

Both these suggestions met with his hearty approval , and he would take the earliest opportunity of laying them before the R . W . Prov . G . M . ( Bro . H . C . Yernon ) for his approbation . In alluding to the W . M . ' s request for a frequent visit from him , he could assure the Brethren he would come as often as his engagements would permit , and at any time when his presence was particularly required . As to his countenance of the late Masonic ball at Dudley—to which the W . M . had alluded—lie came as a matter of pleasure as well as a Masonic duty . He did

not approve ot Masonic balls generally , unless they were for some benevolent purpose ( as the Dudley ball was ) ; but when the cause of charity was to he forwarded by them , he should always he ready to come forward and assist . He concluded a good practical speech by alluding to the general efficiency of the Prov . G . L . Officers , not forgetting those two excellent Masons then supporting hi in , Bros . Wainwri ght ( Prov . G . W . ) and Manfield ( Prov . G . Treas . ) . The health of the W . M ' ., nnd various other toasts having been drunk , the company separated , highly pleased with the entertainment of the evening . Royal Standard Lodge ( No . 730 ) . —The monthly meeting of the members o ^ this Lodge took place on Tuesday , the 12 th February , under the able presidency
