raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason , Bros . Stopher , Douglas , and Birebmore , passed to the 2 nd Degree , and Messrs . Thos . W . Purkiss and John Phillips initiated into the Order . No banquet was provided on this occasion , iu order that , by limiting their expenditure , the Lodge might be able to render a more generous support to the Masonic institutions generally , and to the Benevolent Fund in particular , —an example which we trust will be emulated by every Lodge .
St . James ' s Union Lodge ( No . 211 ) . —The members of this Lodge met , on a summons of emergency , at the Freemasons' Tavern , on Friday , June 13 th . The W . M ., Bro . John Grurton , assisted by his officers and Past Master , raised two Brethren and passed two to the second degree , in that excellent manner for which this Lodge is now so much distinguished .

M ., officiated in his usual able and efficient manner , by raising Bro . Dyer to the third degree . Labour being ended , the Brethren retired to refreshment ; and to a repast which reflected great credit on the establishment , succeeded a most pleasant evening . The only visitor present was Bro . Burton , W . M . ( No . 202 ) . We may remark , en passant , that the newly-established Lodge of Instruction , held under the warrant of this Lodge , met for the first time at Bro . Sheen ' s , Sussex Stores , Upper St . Martin ' sdane , on Friday , June 6 th , when about thirty Brethren were present . We make no doubt but this Lodge of Instruction , being held in the summer months ( when most others are closed ) , will be numerously attended .
