PROVINCIAL .

CORNWALL . Helston . —Provincial Grand Lo ' dge . —This Lodge was held at Helston , on Tuesday , the 15 th of July . The Lodge was tyled at about half-past ten o ' clock , soon after which a procession was formed , and proceeded to Helston church . After the service was over , the procession reformed , and the Brethren returned to the Lodge-room , when the business was performed , votes for charity , & c , taken , and the officers installed . Bro . Ellis , in the absence of the Prov . G . M ., Sir G . Lemon , presided at the Lodge .

In the course of the meeting the D . Prov . G . M ., Bro . Ellis , informed the Brethren that he had proposed to Sir C . Lemon , the Prov . G . M ., to resign the office ; the Prov . G . M . refused to accept the same , having depended on him for the efficient performance of the duties of the office , in connection with that of Prov . G . S . After interviews and correspondence thereon , Bro . Ellis consented as Prov . G . S ., ¦ ' && , to do the usual business ; Bro . Augustus Smith , of Tresco , Scilly , being appointed Dep . Prov . G . M . for the year ensuing , which ceremony was performed by Bro . Ellis .

At the banquet , which took place at the Star Hotel , the D . Prov . G . M ., Bro . Augustus Smith , occupied the Master ' s chair , in the absence of Sir Charles Lemon , Bart ., M . P ., & c . After the removal of the cloth , when the dessert was placed on the table , about 150 ladies were admitted , and partook of wine and dessert with the Brethren . The X > . Prov . G . M ., Bro . Augustus Smith , rose

and said , —The first toast I have to propose , Brethren , is , of course , that of " The Queen . " On her excellent qualities , both as sovereign and a woman , I need not enlarge : they are too well known and admitted by all her subjects . Were it not that the Salic law is so essentially a part of our constitution , the virtues of our Queen would qualify her not only to be made a Mason , but to be placed at the head of the Craft . ( Cheers . )

The D . Prov . G . M . then proposed " The Duke of Cornwall , Prince Albert , and the rest of the Royal Family . " He said , —Of the Duke of Cornwall , from his early years , we can as yet know but little . His youthful years , however , are fast running on ; he must be regarded as now already showing for bud , and may soon be expected to flower ; we shall then know what he is . One born , however , Duke of Cornwall , wearing a title so intimately connected from the earliest ages with British glory , as exemplified in the Arthurs , Edwards , and Henries , we may confidently expect that he will prove worthy such predecessors in his Duchy of Cornwall , and show himself , in all the relations of life , as a prince , a gentleman ,

and a thorough Englishman . The P . Prov . G . M . next gave " The Health of the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Masters of England , the Earls of Zetland and Yarborough , " & c ., which toast was duly honoured , and followed by " The Health of the Prov . Grand Master , Sir Charles Lemon ., Bart ., M . P ., & c . In proposing this toast the 1 ) . Prov . G . M . said , —Our P . W . Bro . Ellis has already referred elsewhere to what I said on a former occasion , in commendation of those high qualities which we so value in our Prov . G . M . To that I have hut little to add , though I should be bolder in speaking of him in his absence than , as then , in his presence- -except to say that what

was then spoken fell greatly short of what his merits so justly deserve , and in which I am sure the sentiments of the Brotherhood most cordially unite . His absence we cannot but regret on the present occasion . I have very recently seen our Prov . G . M .., and am happy to be able to make a very good report of his health ; I was at the same time commissioned by him to inform the Brethren how much ho regretted it was not in his power to attend here to-day . When we recollect the fatiguing inarch to which ho was subjected last year , even had it been in his power , we must be sensible it would have required some little courage at his time of life to have again joined in our festivities , except under the easiest and
