CHANNEL ISLES . JERSEY . —Lodge La Cesaree ( No . 860 ) . —On Thursday , 29 th January , tbe ordinary monthly meeting was held , which , as the members had been summoned on other occasions for initiations and conferring degrees , it had been previously determined should be devoted chiefly to the completion of the bye-laws . The members , as usual , assembled in great force . The lodge was opened in the first degree at six o ' clockbthe WMBroJohn

, y .., . Durrell , assisted by his two Wardens , Bros . Philip Le Sueur and Clement Le Sueur . The minutes of the last regular meeting , and of one of emergency , were read and confirmed . The report of a Committee on the Memorial Monument in the Cemetery were read , whith resulted in a determination to pay the balance of the account to the contractor . The Committee was charged to make arrangements for railings to enclose the monument and the

ground belonging to the lodge , ivhich comprises four graves . - W . Jf . exphined that , owing ; to some informality in the terms of notice to the brethren , which were not in conformity with the book of Constitutions , the consideration of the admission of a joining member , and the initiation of a candidate , previously proposed and balloted for , must be deferred . The names of four gentlemen were given in as candidates for initiation , and of two brethren as joiug members , all of which were duly proposed and seconded . The W . M . called the attention of the lodge to

the new banner , which had been prepared under his direction ; he trusted that the manner in which it had been executed would receive general approbation ; he presented the accounts for the same , which were ordered to be paid . The W . M . also reported that the set of eight drawings of the Masonic Temple , presented by Bro . Dr . Hopkins , had beenframed , and were in the room forthe inspection of the brethren ; he reminded them that this was only one of many important services rendered by the donor , which had

contributed much to enhance the character and position ofthe Cesaree Lodge ; he especially adverted to the articles and reports of proceedings sent to THE FBEEMASONS' MAGAZINE , by which the lodge had become favourably known throughout England ; he mentioned that in the last number woodcuts from the drawings had been inserted , and urged the brethren to provide themelVjjSivith copies ; he concluded by making a proposition to mark the sense entertained bthe lodge of the services of the

y Broher alluded to , which having been duly seconded , Bro . Dr . Hopkins rose , and while most cordially thanking the W . M . for the honour and kindness intended , explained the reasons why it ivould be impossible for him to accept it . These had the effect of causing the proposition to be withdrawn . Bro . J . T . Du Jardin moved that a Committee , consisting of the W . M . and the Past Masters , be appointed to determine on the best means of showing the appreciation by the lodge of the exertions of Bro . Dr .

Hopkins , and the esteem in ivhich he is held . This was duly seconded and carried . The consideration of the bye-laws was now continued , in the course of ivhich several animated discussions took place ; at ten o ' clock the matter being still incomplete , it was thought advisable to defer the remainder till a subsequent occasion . A subject of interest only to the members of the lodge was afterwards introduced , which occupied half-an-hour . The lodge was closed in perfect harmony at half-past ten , but owing to the lateness of the hour , only a few of the brethren remained to partake of refreshment .
