America,

representatives at the next triennial session of the G . G . E . be instructed to use their influence in that body to procure such an amendment to the constitution of that body as to make it necessary that all candidates for Knighthood should be required to be possessed of the Degrees of Royal and Select Master . Sir Knight Edwards must have investigated the subject more thoroughly than we have , if he has discovered any connection between those two Orders , or anything in the

Degrees of Royal and Select Master that tends to the enlightenment of the newlycreated Sir Knight , or that should make it indispensable in him to be possessed of them . For our own part we think the machinery already too complicated , in fact , so much so as to make American Templarism sui generis , and we should be sorry to see any additional clogs added to its wheels . Sir Knight Edward ' s motion did not prevail , or to use the words of the report , " it was laid on the table . "—New York Masonic News .

Holland.

HOLLAND .

A recent letter from the Hague , says : — " The Freemasons of Holland have just cslebrated their one hundredth anniversary at this place , under the presidency of their G . M ., his Royal Highness Princs Frederic of the Netherlands . Four hundred Brothers sat down to a magnificent repast in the great hall of the Lodge , a building erected in 1816 by Prince Frederic , at an expense of £ 10 , 000 , and rented by the Brethren . Delegates attended on the part of the Freemasons of England , France , and Russia , and several other states . On the health of

the Prince President being proposed , a silver crown of exquisite workmanship was presented to his Royal Highness , who , in responding to the toast , pulled from his pocket the title-deeds of the Freemasons' Hall above alluded to , and , handing them to the Treasurer , begged the associate ! Brethren to accept at his hands that magnificent building as a centenary gift . Not an individual in the hall had been apprised of his R > yal Highuess ' s intention , so that this munificent act excited as much surprise as enthusiasm . It may be observed that Prince Frederick of the Netherlands is the second son of the late Kinor

William of Holland , and is one of the wealthiest men , if not the wealthiest man , in the Netherlands . He never interferes in political matters , having been slighted by certain diplomatists in 1815 , when he at once and for ever withdrew from state business . He is a man of simple but refined tastes , affable and courteous in demeanour , and respected by all . "

Summary Of News For June.

SUMMARY OF NEWS FOR JUNE .

The various drawing-room parties , reviews , levees , & c , which have taken place during the past month , remind us that the London season is rapidly drawing to a close , and that her Majesty , members of Parliament , and others , are beginning to think of autumn delights away from the noise and hubbub of town . Yet even during these , anticipations of trouble will intrude themselves , and the unceremonious dismissal of the British minister by the United States' Government , although accompanied by such protestations of friendly feelings that her Majesty ' s

ministers have not thought it necessary to require Mr . Dallas to return home , has occasioned some alarm with regard to the prospects of peace—an alarm which has been ridiculously increased by the circumstance of Mr . Dallas having retired from her Majesty ' s levee , because an attaclU of the legation wa , s refused admission in a dress which no English gentleman would think of wearing , even to dine with a friend , and which of course could not be admitted into the presence of royalty .
