Worshipful Brother A . R . Tilly , P . M ., Acting AV . M . "Tuscan Lodge , " ( No . 1027 ) , Shanghai . AVorshipful and Bear Brother Tilly , —It is again my sad duty to inform our brethren in lodge assembled , through you , dear brother , that we have again to mourn over the death of another brother whom it has pleased God , in his infinite wisdom , to remove from all earthly lodges , and it is with more than ordinary feelings of emotionwhile penning these linesthat I
, , refer to the decease of our beloved and worthy brother , Ludovie Grant Bunlop , P . M . It was at his hands , and in your presence , over some three years ago , that I received the benefits of initiation ; little did we then think that we should havo had to mourn over his loss so soon after , while in the very prime of life , and one of the chief pillars that support our Order in this distant clime . May the lessons taught us this year by the loss of so
many brethren , not be forgotten or laid aside ; let us so remem - ber our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom , and prepare in our lodge here for a future meeting with our lamented brethren in the Grand Lodge above , where the Great Architect of the "Universe xeigneth for ever . My dear Bro . Tilly , bring this solemn subject before the brethren , so that they may derive benefit ancl instruction from the mysterious working of an All-wise Being .
It is my earnest wish , should you and all the brethren approve of it , as our late Bro . Bunlop was a member of this loelge , and a very good and worthy Mason , that our lodge should , out of respect for his memory , remain three months in mourning ( after the expiration of tbe time we have allotted to the memory of our lamented Bro . Oliver Kimball Gordon)—that the AV . M . ' s pedestal be draped in black in memory of the
deceased P . M . for the same period , and that you would have a committee appointed , being yourself on it , to draw up a suitable letter to the friends of our late brother , and that such document should be sent to Bro . Thorne to transmit as you may direct to the lamented brother's friends . Expressing my deep sympathy and fraternal love to all the brethren , I am , AA ors ' hipful and clear Bro . Tilly , Yours very sincerely and fraternally , HENRY / ENEAS SIDPOED , AA . M . Tuscan Lodge ( No . 1027 ) .

WAEWICKSHIEE . GIUND MASONIC BALL . A grand Masonic ball , for the province of Warwickshire , has just been held at the Shire Hall , Warwick . Some degree of novelty attaches to the reunion on account of its being the first of the description which ,
has been held in the county town . Ball room assemblies generally present the same appearance , tbe town or country " gathering then her beauty and her chivalry , " her "fair women and brave men . " With the sterner sex the dress is seldom varied , while , in order that "the lovely daughters may bloom like beauteous floAvers , "
they are favoured by custom as well as nature , and enjoy opportunities for the display of their charms which etiquette denies to " the lords of creation . " Tho latter may , however , in some instances , betake themselves to more than the usual modicum of adventitious adornment . If they have the happiness of belonging to the honourable fraternity of Freemasons , their appearance

iu the costume of the Craft , while rendering such an assembly as that which has just taken place in Warwick both unique and picturesque , affords an agreeable contrast to the usually sombre aspect of a civilian ball ; An universal feeling of admiration was expressed on the occasion of the above-mentioned assembly at the
richness and variety of the costume , from that of the Master Mason , through the degrees of Eoyal Arch , to the splendid attire of the Eose Croix , Knight Templar , and Prov . G . M . The ball passed off with the greatest eclat , and its great success will undoubtedly induce the Craft to hold many similar gatherings in Warwick and other parts of
the county . A general wish has been expressed that the Masonic Ball may become an annual institution . The agreeableness and pleasure of the evening were greatly enhanced by the admirable manner in which Bros . George AVise , John Machen , and E . C . Heath discharged the duties of ball room stewards . The arrangements of the committee ( of which Bro . John Machen was chairman , and Bros . S . W . Cooke and
F . Goodchild sees . ) gave great satisfaction . With her usual readiness to aid any good object Lady Leigh , the wife of the Prov . G . M ., was the lady patroness . The stewards were : —Bros , the Eight Hon . the Lord Leigh , Prov . G . M . ; John Machen , D . Prov . G . M . ; W . A . Adams , A . Beaumont , T . AA ' . Bullock , W . Briggs , P .

THE COMING- SEASON . —It i / stated that all the fashionable dress and mantle trimmings for tbe coming season will be mixed with transparent crystal beads . Ic is a pleasing change from the jet beads which have now been so long in use , and the transparency and lightness of crystal make the gimps and ornaments with which they are interwoven suitable for all descriptions of spring and summer dresses .
EDWIN BOOTH . —The New York papers state tbe appearance of Edwin Booth , the brother of J . AAllkes Booth , on the stage at the AA inter Garden Theatre at New York , was an ovation . The house was overflowing , and bouquets , cheers , and round after round of applause greeted him throughout the evening . A delegation of the Craft , of which Mr . Booth is a member , waited upon him before the play and assured him of the sympathy of the entire body . He was called out after every act , and the
enthusiasm of the audience was of the kind that a country accords to its players but once in a century . The tumult of applause was occasioned by an effort made by the New YorTc Herald to drive him from the stage on account of his brother's crime . AA iXE BUXIES . —From a circular we have received from . Messrs . Southard and Co ., wine brokers , it appears that the consumption of wines in the United Kingdom , according to the
returns of last year , reached a million gallons per month , which is just double what it was before the reduction of duties . The following firms pay duty on tbe largest quantities of wines , as shown by the Wine Trade Review , 20 th of January , 1 S 66 : — AV . and A .
