WE were glad to perceive , daring a recent visit to Birming--ham , that the Masonic Hall and Club House , projected some three years ago , and for the building of which a company was formed , is at last progressing ; the external wails are fast rising , and , from the information we were able to glean on the spot , there is every reason to believe that the completion of the
building will be pushed on vigorously . THE elite of the province of Warwickshire are about to he assembled at a grand Masonic ball , to be held at the Warwick Town Hall , on Monday next , the 13 th inst ., under the patronage of the Provincial Grand Master ( Lord Leigh ) , and the Deputy Provincial Grand Master ; and we can safely bespeak for it the greatest succes . It may be said to he the county ball of the season .

The lodge was then opened in the second degree , and Bro . Eayner was passed to the degree
of F . C . in a very creditable manner . This being all the business of the evening , as several of the candidates for initiation , passing , & c , were absent , Bro . Proud , P . M ., then rose and said , -that as the funds were in such a flourishing condition , and Bro . Grogan was going to stand as Steward for the Belgrave Lodge at the Royal Benevolent Fund festival , he proposed that the sum of fifty pounds should be voted from the lodge funds to that institution . Bro . Potter , P . M ., seconded the proposition , and in the course of his address he spoke of the proud position
the lodge had taken in the Masonic world , and he hoped that it would yet shaud higher if possible . It is needless to say that this resolution was carried unanimously . Bro . Garrod then rose and said , that as the lodge had completed the first ten years of its existence , and had flourished in a way that he believed no other lodge had done , he should propose that Bros . Proud , Bunting , and Grogan should be made honorary memhers for their exertions in the formationand ing it
, carry so successfully through the first ten years of its existence . Bro . Pymm said there was one more brother whose name was on the warrant , that he should like to see made an honorary member likewise—that was Bro . Woodstock . He knew that he had left the lodge some years , but he thought that it would only be a graceful act to elect him to the same position as the other worthy brothers who acted with him . Bro . Pymm ' s
proposition was carried by a large majority . The lodge was then closed in due form with solemn * prayer , and tho brethren adjourned to the banquet table , after which , the usual loyal and Masonic toasts having been disposed of , Bro . Grogan made an appeal to the brethren individually to do the best they could to supplement the lodge gift , by sending him to the festival with a list of names equal to that which Bro . Ough had had the honour of taking up before him . Bro . Ough likewise called the attention of the members to the fact that the Royal Benevolent Fund was really in want of all the

A handsome list was the result of this appeal to the feelings of the brethren . The Tyler ' s toast brought the evening to an end , and the lodge was closed in harmony ,
