The Masonic Mieior.
The M . W . G . M . has declined to give his sanction to an annual dinner being held for the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution for aged Masons and their
widows . There is nothing , however , to prevent the Brethren having such a dinner , and giving their money for the support of that excellent charity if they think proper to do so , the only dirTerence being that they cannot appear in Masonic costume .
It is with sincere regret that we find that the Indian mutiny has deprived our highly respected Bro . Col . Burlton , P . Prov . G . M . for Bengal , of two sons , one in his thirty-eighth , and the other in his twenty-seventh year .
In future the business-paper of Grand Lodge is to be circulated ten days prior to each Quarterly Communication ; it will , therefore , behove Masters of Lodges to take some steps for making their Past Masters and Wardens acquainted with the business to be brought before them .
