performed by Bro . Binckes , whose delivery of the several addresses gave the greatest satisfaction . The several / officers wereappointed , and many joining members added to the strength of the Lodge , which , as announced in our last number , is to meet weekly . Bro . Warriner , who , we believe , has under taken the of Preceptor , announced his intention of delivering a lecture ,, at an early date , on the proper form of the pedestals . At half-past six the Brethren present , in number
twenty-four , assembled at dinner , Bro . Hervey presiding , and after duly honouring the loyal . and Masonic toasts to the Queen and theM . W . Grand Master , Bro . Dr . Hareourt proposed the E . W ; D . Grand Master and the rest of the grand officers , past and present , which included the excellent Mason w ho presided . The speaker complimented Bro . Hervey on his manner of conducting the consecration , and thus refreshing his memory of a ceremonial he had only witnessed on one previous occasion . Bro . Hervey briefly replied , and claimed a bumper from the Brethren
for the toast of the evening— " Success to the Carnarvon Lodge of Instruction . ' He much regretted , for the sake of those Brethren who had never witnessed a consecration , that the beauty of its ceremonial had been marred by the absence of music . He urged the attendance of young Masons at Lodges of Instruction , as , without attentive and constant practice , they would find upon arriving at the chair of their Lodge , that they were deficient in that knowledge and experience which alone would enable them to Impart a favourable impression of the institution to
any candidates brought to them for initiation . He hailed the establishment of this Lodge of Instruction , in a district which was surrounded by many resident Masons ; and referred to the great advantage this Lodge possessed in having the aid of Bro . Warriner , an accomplished Mason , who was most efficient in all Masonic duties , and of long standing in the Order , having been Principal of a Chapter waen , many years ago , he ( Bro . Hervey ) was exalted . With the toast he united the parent Lodge which had sanctioned this meeting , and with Bro . Warriner ' s
name he joined Bro . Wellen , the Secretary . Bro . Warriner , in responding , said , that independently of the ceremonies which belonged to it , there was much more to be learned in Masonry , which , when understood , would materially assist in elevating our institution in the opinion of thinking men ; we shall find , on examining its principles , that we are diving into theosophy . He referred to a conversation he once had with the late Duke of Sussex , when his Royal Highness alluded to the great work of Godfrey Higgins , which contained many references to points
of interest to Masons . It was the duty of every one to diffuse information , and , for his part , it was his intention , from time to time , to communicate what knowledge he possessed , in the form of lectures , to the Lodge . Bro . Hervey , next proposed " The Visitors , " to which Bro . Binckes responded , who said that he had seen ( as every attentive Mason must ) , on his entrance into Masonry , that not only was there much to be studied , but that there was something beyond the veil .
He was much gratified to find that Bro . Warriner had broached those genuine principles which should be their guide in imparting instruction . He most sincerely believed that Freemasonry was the noblest institution ever formed , and that it was designed to promote the happiness of mankind . The health of Bro . Harcourt , D . G . M . of Surrey , with thanks for his attendance , was heartily greeted ; and with the charities was joined the name of Bro . Barratt . The toast , " To all poor
and distressed Masons , " was next given by Bro . Holt , and a pleasant evening was brought to a close .
