The regular and punctual attendance of our departed brother at tho stated meetings of the lod and his zealous and

ge , efficient discharge of the duties of the various offices he had hold iu it , had justly earned the thanks and esteem of tho n ' . ° 'P . s . whilst his quiet , unassuming manners , and amiability of disposition , had endeared him to all with whom he came in contact . In thus electing Bro . Green to the important office of Worshipful Master , —the highest honour which the lodge can bestow , —the brethren entertained a confident hope—but wliich , alas ! not to

was he realised , —that his year of rule ivould bo attended with increased credit to himself ] and with marked prosperity to the lodge . In now recording upon the minutes , their sense of the great loss which the lodge has sustained by the decease of their Worshipful Master , aud their respect for his memory , the brethren desire , at tin same time , to offer to tho relatives of the departed , their heartfelt sympathy under the

heavy bereavement with which it has pleased tho Most High to nHlicfc them . A copy of the resolution , under the lodge seal aud the signatures of the D . Prov . G .

them on the circumstances under which they were met to consecrate anew lodge , and it was most satisfactory to find Masonry en tiie increase , and he remarked how gratifying it was to see in various lodges friend introducing friend , brother proposing a brother's name , fathers recommending their own sons , and occasionally themselves initiating their children into the mysteries aud privileges of ancient Freemasonry .

WALES ( NORTH ) . LIAKG-EFXI . — The friends ancl supporters of the Craft in this Province will doubtless be pleased to hear that another lodge has been inaugurated , ivhieh bids fair to attain a good standing in the Masonic circle . Some few months since a few members of the Craft , guided by the zeal and endeavours of Bro . AV . Hughes , of the Bank , Llangefni , associated themselves together for the of establishing a new lodge at Llangefni—various

purpose meetings were held , and in due course the matter assumed a definite shape . A petition was prepared and signed , and in due course recommended by the old lodge of St . David , at Bangor ; and Sir Watkin AVilliams Wynn , II . W . Prov . G . 'M ., having added his sanction , a warrant of constitution was granted to the petitioning brethren , empowering them to hold a lodge at Llangefni , under the name or '

title ofthe Anglesea Lodge , No . 1 , 113 . All matters were satisfactorily arranged for a dedicatory meeting of the new lodge , on Friday , the 6 th inst ., and ou that day the meeting was hold accordingly , at the Bull Hotel , Llanngefni . Promises of attendance were given by a very considerable number of the brethren of the province , but the gathering of the Craft was sadly interfered with by an event over wliich the brethren had

no control . The Bishop of Bangor had fixed Thursday , the 5 th inst ., as the day for consecrating the new church at Llandudno , and the day for opening the new lodge was in consequence arranged for Friday , the 6 th , in order that our worthy

and highly respected M . P ., AV . Bulkeley Hughes , Esq ., who was by special appointment to take part in the ceremony of the opening of the new church , might be enabled to attend the dedication of the new lodge , of which he is named in the warrant of constitution as the S . W . ; but iu Masonic as well as in other mundane matters , " man is born to trouble ; " the Bishop thought proper ( doubtless for some excellent reasons of his own ) to defer the consecration of the new church from

Thursday to Friday , and of course , the " mystic art" had to add martyrdom to ' its other glories , for no M . P ., however excellent his intentions , can be in two places at the same time , and so the absence of their S . AV . " designate , " as well as of a very large number of the members of the Tudno's Lodge , Llandudno , not one of whom was able to attend , as well of very many other members of the Craft , resident at our far-famed watering place .

However , the summonses for the dedicatory meeting of the Anglesea Lodge were all issued for the Friday . Brethren from Ireland , Liverpool , Oxford , and elsewhere , hud promised to attend , and the lodge met accordingly , though in seriously diminished numbers . Amongst the brethren present ive noticed Bros . E . B . Cunnah , of Holyhead , the V . W . Prov . I . G . W . of the year ; Capt . Rogers , of Lodge No . 6 , Dublin ; Dr . J . R . Price , and a considerable gathering of members from the St . David ' s , Hibernia , and other lodges . At a little after two the lodge was formed , and after the
