The D . PEOV . G . MASTER , said : Brethren , fill your glasses Before I give the first toast which- has been arranged on your programme for tho proceedings of this evening , I think it right fco say that , however numerous , influential , and respectable tho display this evening has elicited , I believe we would have had a much more numerous display if it hael not been for the necessity that had unfortunately arisen for the adjournment of this our banquet from Tuesday last to the present occasion .

( Hear , hear . ) Bnfc , brethren , I am glad and happy to say that , although we have been deprived of the presence of-a great number of our friends and a great number of distinguished visitors who would have honoured our banquet on Tuesday last , and would have attended here for the purpose of doing honour to our most noble guest who sits afc my siele —( loud applause)—- although I am sure we have been disappointed of fche presence of a great number of brethren , I am sure there is not a brother

amongst us who does not think the committee who hael the management of that banquet used a wise discretion in the postponement thereof —( hear , hear , and applause)—and I am sure of this , that there is nofc a brother present who does not regret with the utmost sincerity the cause which necessitated that postponement . ( Hear , hear ) . Ifc is refreshing to think that amidst all the strife with which this town has been visited during tho pasfc week that in this room afc least , among the brethren

present , we can say that peace , love , and harmony prevail . ( Loud cheers , and hear , hear . ) Brethren , if these principles which actuate our ancient brotherhood were more generally known , and more generally acteel upon , we should not have fche periodical visitations which have lately disgraced our town . ( Hear , hear . ) I shall now , brethren , proceecl to give yon the toast which is the first ou our list , and as Masons , brethren , it is a toast which we all deliht to honourfor loyalty to the

g , throne has always been a distinguished principle of Masonry . ( Loud applause . ) And afc no time , I am sure , will the toast be received with greater enthusiasm than at the present , when she who sits on the throne has enlisted the good feeling and sympathy of all classes of her subjects —( applause)—not only by her conduct on that throne , but by the exercise of every domestic and social virtue . ( Loud applause . ) I beg , therefore , to give you "Tho Health of the Queen . ( Loud applause . )

The D . PEOV . G . MASTEB : Brethren , the toast I have now to propose is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales , and the rest of the Royal Family . Brethren , when last I had the honour of addressing an assembly such as this , it was just at that period when his Royal Highness the Prince of AA ' ales was about adopting a very important change in his life , and we , as Masons , were most hearty in our congratulations anel in our wishes that every happiness should attend him . ( Hear , hear ,

and loud cheers . ) Brethren , now I think we may congratulate him that he has been so fortunate in the selection which he has made , for no one could have rendered herself more popular than fche object of his choice in the land of her adoption . ( Loud cheers . ) I ventured also at the time fco express the hope that it would not be long before his Royal Highness would join that ancient brotherhood of which we are all members , and I am glad to learn from the public prints that he has , or is about

shortly to enter into that bond of brotherhood ; anel I am sure that all Masons will do their best to receive him as he ought to be received . ( Loud cheers . ) I beg to y > voy > ose to yon " The , Health of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family . " ( Applause . ) The D . PEOV . G . MASTEB : Brethren , the next toast I have to propose to you is that ofthe health of the Most AVorshipful the Grand Master of Ireland . ( Hearhearanel applause . )

, , Brethren , I need nofc say that no one is more respected in his position , either as a Mason or as a distinguished Irish nobleman , than the Grancl Master of Ireland —( hear , hear)—and I am quite sure that I shall receive your approbation when I say that a great deal is due to him for his anxiety to improve the status of Masonry in this country . I believe , also , that ifc is due to him that , at a time when all secret societies were attempted to be put down in this country , our noble Grand Master of Ireland

succeeded in establishing the principle that Masonry should be exempted from that oreler . I therefore beg to give you " The Health of our Most Noble Grand Master of Ireland , His Grace the Duke of Leinster . " ( Received with all the Masonic honours . ) The D . PEOV . G . MASTEE : Brethren , the toast I have now to propose to you is , the health of the Most Worshipful the Grand Master of England . ( Applause . ) As Masons , brethren , we always delight to express our sympathy with our English brethren , and I am sure you will elo honour to the toast which
