great praise and approbation from the Sir Knights . Comps . Geo .-Pollard , P . W Howard , A . Senderson , J . Burnett , and F . P .

MARK MASONRY .
LORD LEIGH'S GRAND LODGE OP MARK MASTERS . We extract the following report of the proceedings at Lord Leigh ' s Grand Lodge from the Masonic Observer : — The December meeting of the Grand Mark Lodge took place at the Freemasons ' Tavern on Friday , the 11 th of December , and , on account of Lord Leigh ' s unavoidable absence , was presided over by Bro . Jones , S . G . W ., with Bro . Ridgway , the G . Reg , as S . G . W ., and Bro . Barnard as J . G . W . The Masters , Past Masters , and Wardens of the several Lodges , wdiich have now become numerous , attended in their places ; and amongst others \ vere representatives from " no less than five of the old Immemorial Independent Lodges , whom the resolutions passed in the last Grand Lodge had induced to give up their isolation , and form parts of this brotherhood of Lodges .
The voluminous minutes of the last Grand Lodge were read , and the only amendment proposed thereon was by Bro . Burrell , Grand Steward and S . W . of the Keystone Lodge , No . 3 , who objected to the confirmation of those resolutions which admitted the old isolated Lodges on terms of equality with those holding new charters , but with what he considered the unjust privilege of ranking without a number before the numbered Lodges . Bro . Lambert , Grand Steward , seconded the non-confirmation of this portion of the minutes on the same grounds .
Bro . Ridgway supported the confirmation of the minutes , and-defended the resolutions . His Lodge , No . 4 , was similarly circumstanced to No . 3 ; but he reflected that the Craft , at the general meeting in May , and at the committee thereat appointed , proved that they yearned for a brotherly union of all the English Mark Lodges then isolated . That union , to be lasting , must be equal and just . If equality was admitted between young Lodges and old Lodges , justice demanded that the old Lodges should have the place of honour . This lie would claim to be the honest feeling of that grand body , and to be typified by the Grand Master in the thorough English sentiments expressed in his published
letters on the subject . Brother Matthews , as an old member for sixteen years of the . Kent Lodge of Mark Masters , welcomed these sentiments . The liberal and just terms offered had induced his Lodge to join this union ; long might they continue to flourish under the banner they had chosen ! and he hoped many other Lodges would follow the example of the Kent .
Bro . Lazarus agreed with everything which had fallen from the two last speakers . He had been a member , for thirty-six years , of the Eoyal Cumberland Lodge of Mark Masters at Bath , and had the honour of representing it here this evening as one of its Past Masters . His Lodge could not have joined the Grand Lodge except on the terms offered , which he must be permitted to consider as honourable to both parties . Bro . Barnard followed to the same effect . He had listened with great pleasure
