Tire Pitixei-: of WALES A > ~ RELIC OP THE PAST . —Now that His Royal Highness tho Prince of AVales is in this country , nothing connected with himself or bis Royal ancestors is uninteresting to tbe general reader . The matter to which we intend now to allude is interesting to all , though more especially to the brethren of the mystic tie—we mean tlie . Masonic Fraternity of Canada . Yesterday the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Canada , T . B . Harris ,. Esq . handed us for inspection a medal or tokenin struck
, , copper , in the year 179 ! -. Not being thoroughly posted in Heraldry , we perhaps shall not give a heraldic or antiquarian description of it ; however , ive will endeavour to give our readers a good idea of what ifc is like , and afford them some information as to its history . The token , as we have said , is of copper , and about the size of the English halfpenny . On one side of it is the old Alasonic motto " Sit lux et lux fuit" round the ed while in the centre is a
, ge , triangle , on the three sides of which are the words AYisdom , Strength , and Beauty ; within the triangle , ancl at the apex , is the All-seeing Kye , in a glory , immediately beneath the letter G . The remainder of the triangle is filled up as follows : —A winged boy grasps the plumb-rule , at the foot of which are lying the square and compass , the trowel and the mallet ; he appears to be kicking
over the hour-glass , while with the other hand he points to the emblems above , the All-seeing Eye and the letter G—the signification of which every Mason knows . On the other side , the inscription round the edge is as follows : —• "Prince of AVales elected Grand . Alaster 21 th Nov ., 1700 . " In the centre is a coat of arms , a dove over a globe being the crest ; tho shield is supported by two animals rampant . On the shield are three castles with a square in the centreon which is a pair of elongated
, compasses . Tlie motto on the scroll beneath is Honor el Amor Jusl ' dia . On the rim is tbo following inscription—Masonic Token : "J . Leichley fecit , 1 / IJI . " The rim is mucli worn , and we may be mistaken in the name of the issuer . On consulting one of the ' highest Alasonic authorities ( Preston ) we find that , on Thursday , the Gth of February , 17 S 7 , His Royal Highness ivas inside a Alason at an occasional lodge , convened for the purpose afc the Star and Garter Tavern , Pall
Mall , over which the Duke of Cumberland presided in person , he being , at this time , M . W . Grand Alaster . In September , 1790 , the Grand Alaster died ; and , on the 25 th of November of the same year , says Preston , " His Koyal Highness the Prince of "Wales was elected to tiie high and important office of Grand Master . " So that this token was undoubtedly struck in commemoration of that event . —Hamilton Spectator ( Canada West ) , Aug . 8 , 1 SG 0 .
