THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT .

LONDON ; SATTJBDA ? , JJJSTTAB . Y 11 , 1 S 62 .

All honoiu' having been paid to the deceased Prince , whose loss has been so deeply regretted throughout the British Empire , thenextthougbtpresenting itself to every Englishman , no matter what his position has been , that of condolence with the Queen at her irreparable loss , and in such an act of duty to the Crown

Freemasons could not well be backward . Accordingly on Wednesday morning there was a very fully attended meeting of Grand Lodge , convened by the M . W . Grand Master , for the purpose of considering an Address of Condolence to Her Majesty . The M . W . Grand Master was unable to be present , but his place

was ably filled by the R . W . D . Grand Master , who in most graceful terms introduced the subject to the brethren , and read the address which does great credit to the brother who drew it up—Bro . White , the late Grand Secretary ; and no more fitting brother could be found for the task , he having , through his intimate connection with her late uncle ,

the lluiie ot busses , as Grand Master , and other members of the Eoyal Family , had the honour of the personal acquaintance of her Majesty in her childhood , and when little thought could be entertained of the great affliction which has befallen her . The adoption of the address Avas neatly moved by Bro . Hall , P . G . ~ Reg ., Prov . Grand Master for Cambridgeshire ,

seconded by Bro . Horton Smith—in a speech beyond our comprehension , and altogether out of place—and unanimously adopted . If Bro . Smith be aspiring to the dais , as reported , we would advise him to practise that excellent virtue , silence—ever remembering that " a still tongue makes a wise head . " We now can only wish thatsurrounded bher familand

-, y y , sup ported by her people , Her Majesty may soon recover from the shock she has sustained—and as Time , the soother of all woes , throws the recollection of the past in further , though no less fond , remembrancecontinue to enjoy for many years the blessings of health and happiness .
