management . If , however , the S . G . Warden did not exactly go with the rest of Grand Lodge , Ave presume Ave must put it down to the fact that , as he told us at the time of his appointment , he is comparatively new to English Ereemasonry—and

he is consequently unacquainted with the history alike of the Tavern and the Craft during the last dozen years . Having arrived at the hig hest honours , Avithout any exertion of his OAVU , ancl for no reason that can be discovered , unless it be

that nobody else Avould accept the office , it Avould be as well if Bro . Cole made himself acquainted Avith AAffiat has been passing in England whilst he has been abroad , before venturing to take part in the proceedings of Grand Lodge . One most

gratif ying announcement Avas made by Bro . Havers , viz ., that the first section of the property is to be completed in NoA ember next , and that the whole may be p laced into the hands of the Craft Avithin two years , when Ave hope to be enabled to congratulate the brethren on having a suitable building , longwanted , for the due performance of their

ceremonies . Bro . Stebbing then brought forward a motion for getting rid of disagreeable members from lodges ; but , owing to an informality , his motion could not be put , it being ruled inadmissible as against the Booh of Constitutions ; but certainly

some means ought to be found of preventing one or tAvo men disturbing the harmony of twenty times the number . A few complimentary votescomplimentary in more senses than one—and Grand Lodg'e was closed .

We ask again , "Will anybody help us to a grievance in order to give some life to the proceedings of Grand Lodge ?—otherwise , nobod y will attend .
