between the jurisdictions , and as they had lately seen in France that want was productive of very grave consequences . All the bodies , however antagonistic , made a point of endeavouring to induce the Supreme Grand Council of England to side with them , and it was their endeavour to promote peace and liberty throughout the world , remain in harmony with all similarly constituted , bodies , but avoiding all acts of collision , and simply inculcating the great principles so long enunciated in the

teaching of the Ancient and Accepted Rite . He believed that the progress of commerce had directed our national energies into new fields , where at last we might beat our swords into plough shares , a course which he deplored to be lost on America . By that unfortunate internicene war we should learn a yery salutary lesson . It would show in its fullest extent how hateful was the spirit of discord , and he feared he must add that this bad extended to Freemasonry . In proposing the health of the

Supreme Grand Councils throughout the world , he must mention that in Peru two bodies had each applied to them for support , but they had resolved not to interfere between them . Notwithstanding these differences , there was great personal goodwill between individual members of the Ancient ancl Accented Rite in all countries of the world . He hoped to see all combine together , in one effort to promote the fundamental principle of Freemasonry , and to be careful never to interfere witli the

three degrees and the Royal Arch , or any other Legitimate Authority . They had that clay a brother present from Peru , and he should couple the name of the 111 . Bro . Gallaher , with the toast of the Supreme Grand Councils throughout the world . The 111 . Bro . GALLAUEH , belonged to a country noted for it modesty , but he was happy to say that both in Ireland and in Peruthe Supreme Grand Council of England was looked up to

, with feelings of the most profound respect . On behalf of the Supreme Grand Council of Peru he begged to express his thanks for the toast . Col . CLERK , 33 ° , said they must not forget the energetic and hard working Secretary General , Bro . Hyde Pullen , whose name was known in all ranks of Freemasonry , and prominent amongst their charities . Bro . Goolden , too , was an enthusiastic member of the 32 ° , the health of the members of which he

proposed , coupling the same with the name of Bro . Hyde Pullen . Bro . HYDE PULLEX thanked them most cordially for the toast . It was one he received with extreme pleasure . He hoped to see a proper and good understanding exist in every degree of the Rite , and he believed that everyone intended and did his duty to the best of his ability , and with the greatest respect to the members of Supreme Grand Council . Colonel Clerk had said rather more than he deservedhut had always striven to

, benefit his brethren in every rank and mankind in general . He had also endeavoured to do his best for the benefit of the Order , and for the kind manner his efforts had been received , he expressed his obligations . Colonel CLERK hoped they would make a memorandum that if any thing was going wrong in Freemasonry it was the duty of the members of the 31 ° to inspect and report on the sameancl

, although they had but two members of it present , he was sure that in Captains King and Boyle it was well represented . He then gave the toast of " The 31 ° and Captain Boyle . " Captain BOYLE , 31 ° , heged to return his sincere and grateful thanks for the toast , and believing that all the members of that degree knew their duty , they would do it with lenity to offenders and dignity to their chiefs .

Dr . LEESOX was happy that it fell to his lot to give a very agreeable toast , to drink to those who had that day arrived at the neplns ultra of perfection . It was an especial pleasure to give such a toast , as one had come to them from tho old Athol Alasons , and also on account of another , Bro . Henry George AVarren , from whom they were sure to derive pleasure and advantage , while to him the Freemasons of this land owed a debt of

gratitude for the ability with which he had conducted the onl y periodical devoted to Freemasonry in the country . He then -went into some little historical episodes respecting the Mount Calvry Encampment , which was attentively received and warml y applauded , and he concluded by proposing and commending to their special notice " The Healths oi the G . E . Knts , ¦ Bros . AVHShuttlewortb and Henry AA ' 30 ° "

. . George arren , . Bro . SHUTTTLEWORTH , 30 ° , felt placed in a most remarkable Position . He had taken the 30 ° under the Athol constitution , and he had now taken another degree with a precisely similar XT p ^ llum ^ '"'der the Ancient and Accepted li ' ite . The Jn . P . Sov . G . Com ., had kindly and most satisfactorily expressed

Ancient And Accepted Rite.

his desire to receive all such brethren , and he returned him his best thanks for having so fairly examined the proofs submitted to him , of their being in possession of a degree having some differences from that practised under the Supreme Grand Council . The G . E . Knt . Bro . HEXRY G . AVAREEX , returned thanks for the kind notice that had heen taken of his labours , during which he was repeatenly and warmly applauded . Shortly after the meeting broke up .
