After Dr . Twining had finished his oration , the Hon . Hugh Bell , chairman of the Board of Works , stood on the corner-stone , and addressed the company . In carrying out all the arrangements to a successful issue , the energy displayed by the authorities was deserving of especial commendation . His Excellency the
Lieutenant-Governor in no single particular failed in actively discharging his share of the onerous duties of the occasion ; while to his Worship the Mayor , the Hon . Provincial Secretary , the chairman of the Board of Works , the Prov . G .

MUSSOORIEL Mussoorie Lodge ( No . 922 ) . —A most beautiful testimonial has been submitted to us , for presentation to the Treasurer and Secretary of the above Lodge , executed by our worthy Brother -Spencer , of 314 , High Holborn , with his usual taste and ability . It consists of an elegantly-chased silver goblet , the stem of which is typical of the rocky mountains adjacent to the Lodge , together with Masonic emblems of the three degrees , surrounding the cup . The branch projecting from the rock also , and other significant allusions to the Craft , combine to render this an elegant and valuable memento of merit both to the recipient and
the artificer . No one can exceed the taste of our Bro . Spencer in these matters ; and as nearly forty pounds have been subscribed by a Lodge so recently constituted as 1854 , for a memorial of regard to one of its members , the occurrence may almost be considered unique . Besides the above , a gold medal ha ^ als o been made for the same Lodge , as a gift to their Secretary and Treasurer , by Bro . Spencer , and rivals the cup in elegance of design and execution . Inscriptions upon both the presents corroborate the desert of the eminent Brother so distinguished by his fellow Masons . We trust many will pay a visit to Bro . Spencer to inspect these magnificent articles , before the latter leave England .
TRINIDAD . Philanthropic Lodge ( No . 585 ) . —This Lodge met on June 24 , 1856 , to celebrate the festival of St . John the Baptist . At about half-past six P . M . the Brethren began to assemble , and at seven sat down to a splendid banquet . Nothing was wanted to satisfy even the most fastidious epicure . The Lodge was illuminated in the most exquisite beauty and style we ever remember seeing . The five orders of architecture were brilliantly thrown out , and the letters F HO "
were intermingled with white lights in such a way as rendered the whole an imposing view , especially when looking at the three arches , which were so illuminated as to throw out all the other parts in a splendid manner . Thirty Brethren sat down , presided over by the warrior of Freemasonry , Bro . Daniel Hart . During the evening the usual appropriate and loyal toasts were drunk , after which singing was introduced , and the Brethren enjoyed themselves until half-past ten p . m ., when they separated in brotherly love .
JAMAICA . The installation of the Master and Officers elect of the Union ct Concordia Lodge took place at Sussex Hall , in this city , on June 24 , being the festival of St . John the Baptist . The Lodge having been opened in due and ancient form , and with an appropriate prayer by the Worshipful E . Leon , Orator ; and the preliminary ceremonies having been duly observed , the Worshipful Elijah Abrahams , the retiring Master , proceeded to install Bro . Joseph N .
