Our distingushed Brother , Lord Dalbousie , arrived in England on the 13 th , in very debilitated health . The East India Company have voted his lordship an annuity of £ 5 , 000 . On the 13 th , a new loan of £ 5 , 000 , 000 was negotiated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on very favourable terms .
On the 15 th , a very elegant testimonial , of the value of about £ 400 , was presented at the Freemasons' Tavern to Dr . Hassall , in appreciation of his exertions in exposing the adulterations in food . From a return just issued , it appears that the gross amount realised in 1855 from Fire insurances effected in the United Kingdom was £ 1 , 341 , 242 . For 1850 the amount was £ 1 , 159 , 530 ; for 1854 , £ 1 , 313 , 223 .
The abolition of the stamp duties on newspapers and the substitution of a postage charge have caused a decrease of about one-fourth in the number of newspapers posted . There are still about seventy-one millions of newspapers per annum posted , or 200 , 000 per day . Of these much the larger portion bear the impressed stamp . The freedom of the City of London was presented to Admiral Sir Edward Lyons at Guildhall on the 19 th .
Her Majesty the Queen and his Boyal Highness Prince Albert have made a joint contribution of £ 500 to the fund for the erection of the Memorial Church at Constantinople . We have been extremely gratifl ed by an inspection of the gorgeous apparel prepared for the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts by Bro . Spencer . It is beautifully executed , and moreover is placed in an upright pedestal , including drawers ,
itself forming a very handsome piece of Lodge furniture . By a clever contrivance each drawer is fitted with slips , which are easily and closely fixed , and secure the gauntlets from obstructing the opening of the drawers . The whole is a fine specimen of thoroughly artistic design and workmanship , and corroborates the estimation entertained for our worthy Brother Spencer , by all who either employ or know him .
