[ The appointments of Lodges of Instruction appear in the last number of each month . ] ROBERT BURNS LODOE ( No . 25 . )—This numerous Lodge held its Inst ordinary assembly on Monday , the 2 nd of May ; and on the previous Thursday , an emergency was held , at which Mr . W . J . Saunders , of the Eoyal Navy , was initiated by flat , having to sail the same day . Messrs . Loible , Smith , and Lewey , were also initiated . Bros . Mills and Parker were passed to tbe second degree , and 13 ro . Wright raised . Three gentlemen were proposed for initiation , and one , who was initiated in the Lodge some fourteen years back , to join . He bad been out of the country for years , but

had always declined to join auy other Lodge than No . 25 . On Monday , Mr . F . W . Hartley was initiated , Bro . Tuck passed , aud Bros . Winterson and Longman raised to the degree of M . M . Further propositions were made this evening for initiation . The working of the W . M ., Bro . D . R . Farmer , was most admirable , and was tbe theme of conversation among the visitors . He is strictly a Masouic man of business , but does not allow even that to interfere with bis ordinary daily occupation , though he is to be found attending to some Lodge or Chapter of Instruction every evening ; his heart seems to be brimful of Masonic intelligence ; and he has that plain and

straightforward mode mid manner of communicating his knowledge , that everyone who hears him is benefited by it . The summer banquet at the Crystal Palace to the members' friends and ladies , has been altered to Thursday , July 7 th , instead of the Oth , in consequence of an alteration of the programme of the Palace authorities ; it is expected that beween two and three hundred will be present . The visitors present were Bros . Moss , P . M .. No . C-3 ; Bell and Avery , No . 902 ; Batten , No . 22 !) ; Hughes , No . 70 ; Flood , No . 227 ; W . Jeffs Luke , No . 25 : Wakoling , No . 11 ;

Self , No . 234 ; A . Greatrex , No . 22 ; Hamilton , No . 211 , ( who was passed ); Berry , No . 35 . The P . Ms , present were Bros . C . Bennett , Watson , Apted ( Treasurer ) , Newton ( Secretary ) , E . Robinson , Dyte , Le Gassick , aud Clements . After the banquet the customary loyal toasts were disposed of in a judicious manner . Bro . Bennett , P . M ., in proposing the health of the W . M ., congratulated him upon bis excellent working as a Mason , and his patience and assiduity as the head of the most numerous Lodge in the Craft . The health of the visitors being proposed by the W . M . Bro . Moss returned thanksandiu doing sostated that he had especial

, , , , pleasure in being a visitor , and could bear testimony to the high standing of No . 25 as a working Lodge . Tho healths of the P . Ms , of the Lodge was given , and their qualifications pointed out to the younger members of the Lodge . The W . M . stated that the chair was not so far off many of those who chose to seek it , through attendance to Lodges of Instruction , for that was the grand secret of obtaining the honours of the chair in this and most other Lodges . . The W . M ., in proposing the officers , stated that he was well pleased with the appointments he had made , and

he did not think there was a Lodge which had better qualified officers than this had , or who paid stricter attention to their duties than they did . Bro . Gladwin , in a few words , but very much to tho purpose , returned thanks , and hoped that future W . Ms , would , be able to sny as much ol their oflicers as the present . On behalf of himself and brother officers , he could assure the Lodge they intended the work to be carried out with the same eclat that it had beeu for some years past . The musical arrangements were entrusted to the management of Bro . Fielding ( a member of the Lodge ) , who executed his part with zeal and fidelity , assisted by Bros . Donald King , Lawler , Scott , and AVilliams . . The W . M ., during the evening , proposed
