The following is an extract from minutes of the Grand Lodge of Ireland , 7 th August last . Right worshipful Bro . John Emgland , M . D ., representative of the Grand Lodge in New York , at the Grand Lodge of Ireland , having presented the following extracts from the ' recent proceedings of the Grand Lodge of New York , on Wednesday , June 4 th , as reported in the Saturday Evening Courier , of New York , June 7 th , 1862 , viz : —

"At the reassembling of the Grand Lodge at 7 p . m ., the committee to whom was referred the hospitalities extended by the MW . G . M . of Louisiana , to certain brothers of this jurisdiction , taken prisoners at Bull Run , reported the following preamble and resolutions : — " AVhereas , —Edwin Cole , a private in the Seventy-first regiment , N . Y . V ., also a member of Hope Lodge ( No . 244- ) , was , on the 21 st of July lastat the battle of Bull Runseverely

, , wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederate forces ; from thence , after a brief imprisonment , he was removed to the city of New Orleans , when his sufferings becoming known to the M . W . J . Q . A . Fellowes , Grand Master of Masons of Louisiana , provided him and eight other members of the Craft ( fellow prisoners with Brother Cole ) , with clothing , medical attendance , and every needful comfort in their hour of extremity . " AVhereas ,- —The exhibition of this true Masonic feeling ,

under the embarrassing condition of our country , is in the highest degree commendable , and demands some special notice from this Grand Body : —Therefore Resolved , —That the fraternal acknowledgments of the Grand Lodge of the State of New York be , and are hereby tendered to M . AV . Bro . Fellowes , for the fraternal kindness and masonichospitality on this occasion referred to , and that it is accepted by the Grand Lodge , as another evidence of the universality of masonry , and that its tenets and inculcations are illimitable and imperishable . "Resolved , —That the Grand Secretary transmits a copy of the

above to M . AA . Bro . Fellowes , attested by the sealot this Grand Lodge . " After some discussion had ensued , during which the committee proposed to substitute ' opposing'for ' confederate ;' and R . AV .. Eohert Maekay affirmed from the testimony of an eye witness , that hundreds of Masons in New Orleans were equally willingto perform their masonic duties , but the rabble having threatened to interfere with the Grand Masterhe called upon the

, authorities for aid , which was cheerfully promised , and it was further in evidence that there was a more true feeling among Masons throughout all the Confederate States , than in any other society , or church ; the preamble and resolution were carried in their original form , except that the Committee changed the word 'Confederate' to ' opposing . ' " Proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by

Bro . Hull Ingran , P . M . of Lodges Nos . 6 and 620 , Dublin" Resolved , —That whilst the members of the Masonic body throughout the world are very anxious , individually and collectively , to discharge their Masonic duties to each other , even after most trying circumstances , and that , doubtless , in many other instances than the one now under consideration , during the course of the present American struggle , true fraternal conduct has been manifested by one Masonic brother to anothereven in

, the opposing armies ; yet , in the opinion of this Grand Lodge , the facts indicated in tbe foregoing report of a nature to demaud special commendation , that is most gratifying to learn that even amidst the horrors of civil war , the principles and precepts of Masonry have been so faithfully carried out ; that consequently the conduct of M . W . Bro . Fellows , Grand Master of the Masons of Louisana , is deserving of the most marked approvaland that lie be presented the warmest fraternal thanks

, of this Grand Lodge . Proposed by R . AV . Bro . Lucius H . Deering , represenative from the Grand Lodge of Louisana at the Grand Lodge of Ireland ; seconded by Bro . Bartholomew Moran , W . M . of Lodge No . 171 , Dublin—
