TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASON ' S * MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Dear Sir and Brother , —My attention has been directed to a letter published in your May number of this year signed A , and dated Bombay , 5 th March last . Without commenting upon the un-Masonic style of the production , or upon the disgraceful expressions with which it teems , I have no hesitation in declaring the letter to be full of the most gross misstatements , and I challenge the writer to declare his name , as I do mine . —I am , dear Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , Henry D . Cartwright , Bombay , 20 th June , 1856 . Prov . G . M . of Western India .

pendent a body upon our deliberations . For instance , the Canada question affects the whole Craft . If Canada secedes , it will be a disgrace to the whole Grand Lodge , —not to the London members only . I would therefore propose that this question should be discussed by country Brethren in Lodge , and- that petitions to Grand Lodge should embody the result of such discussions ; the moral effect of such a course would be incalculable . Again , Lord Carnarvon has given notice of a motion , the effect of which will he to communicate to country Brethren the business to be brought forward in London , in time for them to attend its discussion . This is a point which affects them very nearly , and is a fit subject for deliberation amongst themselves , and upon which to petition Grand Lodge . —lam , dear Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , P . M .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Dear Sir and Brother , —So long as I was simply referred to as Past Master of the Lodge No . 48 , by your Correspondents " Justitia , " " A . Z ., " and " Sile , " it was my duty , in deference to the former , to remain quiet ; but as my name has been brought publicly before the world by Brs . Tunstall and Falconer , and C . W . Oliver , in your magazine for June , I should be unjust to myself if I did not take the place of " Justitia , " and reply to these three letters . I trust your own sense of justice will permit me this opportunity of placing a right and proper construction upon certain statements adduced by them . In the first place , allow

rne to observe , that they evade to a great extent most ot the tacts stated by u Justitia , " and content themselves by introducing new matter , in many cases quite irrelevant to Masonry : —Knight Templarism , for instance . Had your correspondents from the commencement contented themselves with adhering to the subject matter of " Justitia ' s " letter , the affair would not have branched off and assumed its present limits ; but I must take matters as I find them , and in common justice assume , that such statements of the latter as are not contradicted must be considered to be proved and incontrovertible facts . Now , I would preface my letter by stating that I am not going to use hard names nor indulge in any un-Masonic or ungentlemanly language , but content myself with writing a plain unvarnished tale .

I will first begin with Dr . Tunstall : the Brother who hissed me whilst I was acting as W . M . was Bro . Win . Smith , and he made it his business , prior to the commission of this act , to go round to the P . Ms , and other member ? , of my Lodge , and in eon junction with another Brother , endeavoured to get up a party against me ; but , thanks to the Brethren of my Lodge , he could not succeed . This Brother did not hiss mo , for f had merged in the Master of No . 48 , and as its representative he

l nsulted the Lodge . Prior to his being led out of the Lodge , however , my Dir . ( Jer ., Bro . Bngshawe , entreated him to be allowed in his name to apologize ; but this Bro . Smith indignantly refused , and left the Lodge , saying to me that he would never put foot inside the room again . Now , with regard to sumo members of my Lodge hissing Dr . Tunstall : he was invited by our W . M ., contrary to my advice , as one of the banquet stewards , to be present at the annual festival . I was surprised to see him , as some time before 1 had written to him and told him he had
