Metropolitan.

about Freemasonry , as those who knew nothing whatever about it . He had had pamphets sent to him until he had been vexed , stating that it was irreligious to belong to such a body , but he had invariably said that they were either children or fools , and knew nothing about it . Wherever Freemasonry was , there was love and goodness , and if lie wore to go to a town ivhere there was no Freemason ' s Lodge , —as a means of bringing friends together , —he should advocate the establishment of a

Freemasons' Lodge . Some of the best of his friends iu the hour of trouble , had been Freemasons , which lie should never forget , and for which he should be grateful to the Great Architect of the Universe , for the rest of his life , and would endeavour to the utmost of his power to carry out the great principles of " brotherly love , relief , and truth . " The worth y and rev . brother was frequently cheered during this address . Tiie AV . MASTEE said the next toast was a very pleasing ono

to a JIaster of a lodge , as it was "The Health of their Brother Initiates , " and he was glad that they had selected the New-Concord to he their mother lodge . The several initiates returned thanks . The W . MASTER next gave " The Health of the Visitors , " coupling with the toast the names of Bro . Hodges , Prov . G . Officer for Essex , and Bro . Captain Eglese , P . M . of the Fitzroy Lodge . Bro . HODGES , in returning thanks , brought forward several incidents to show the value of Freemasonry , and particularly an

accidental meeting of half a dozen Masons at a public dinner , at which the loss of the London was made the subject of conversation . It was then suggested that they should get up some memorial for their respected brother , Gustavus Vaugiian Brooke , aud a subscription was at once commenced , which , be was happy to say , had since increased to upwards of £ 300 , for the purpose of pur chasing a lifeboat which should hereafter bear his name . BroEGLESE also brieflreturned thanks .

. y Bro BOYCE , I . P . JL , proposed ' ' The Health of the AVorshipful JMaste , " and trusted that he would leave the chair with the same kind feelings for the brethren as he ( Bro . Boyce ) had . The AV . JIASTEE returned thanks for the too flattering manner in which Bro . Boyce had proposed , and the brethren for the cordial manner in which they had received , tho toast . Having taken the office of JIaster , he could assure them that he would

do the duties of it to the best of his ability , and if he erred it ivould not be of the heart but of the head . He ivould be punctual in his attendance to see the duties carried out properly , and when the time should come for him to leave the chair ho hoped the honour of the lodge would have lost none of its lustre . As it was getting late , he proposed * ' The Health of the Past JIasters of the Lodge . " Bros . OSMOND and EMMENS returned thanks .

Some other toasts were given , which were responded to , and the pleasures of the evening were greatly enhanced by some excellent songs of Bros . Woollams , Granger , and others , and the proceedings terminated at twelve o ' clock .
