The lodge was opened in ancient and solemn form , ¦ and the minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed

, when , there being no other business before the lodge , Bro . George States , Prov . G . St . B ., took the chair and proceeded to install Bro . Wiiloughby Beauchamp into the chair of K . S ., a ceremony which he performed in a very able manner . The brethren below the chair were then admitted and saluted the W . M . according to ancient custom , after which the W . M . proceeded to invest his officers as follows : —Bro . T . Williams , P . M ., and

Sec ; II . A . P . Cooper , S . W . ; Dr . Lovell , J . W . ' } Rev . 0 . J . Grace , Chap . ; George States , S . D . ; Charles Beauchamp , J . D . ; G . Cartwright , I . G . ; J . Wall , Tyler . The lodge was then closed and the brethren adjourned to a most elegant banquet , prepared in Bro . Fowler ' s best style . The usual loyal and masonic toasts were given , and from the tenor of the speeches there seemed a general desire that as masonry was on the increase in this

county , and there appeared every probability of a new lodge vieitig established at Wycombe , that a movement should be made in favour of severing the two comities and making Bucks an independent province . The Tylers' toast brought this very happy evening to a close , and the brethren separated , hoping that the Buckingham Lodge would have to record many such asrejablo meetings .

CHANNEL ISLES . JERSEY :. —Lodge Ce ' sarce ( No . SCO ) . —A ' n emergency meeting was held on Thurday , May 1-tth . The lodge was opened in the first degree at 7 p . m ., by Bro .

tracingboard being given by Bro . Schmitt , P . M .

The lodge was closed at half-past eight , and nearly forty brethren remained to partake of refreshment .

CUMBERLAND . WOEKINGTON . —Resuscitation of the " Sun and Sector Lodge . " —Wednesday , the 20 th May , will henceforth be a red-letter day in local Masonic annals as the date of the resuscitation , under a new warrant , No . 126-1 , of the old lodge of free and accepted Masons known as the " Sun and Sector . " The history of this body is somewhat singular . Half a century ago it flourished with t vigour . The old books go as far back as A . D . 1771 ;

grea and from that time until about 1820 , we find in them the names of nearly all the old families iu Workington , amongst them being the Curwens , the Graysons , the Thompsons , the Peats , the Woods , the Browns , the Bussells , the Johnstons , the Bones , and about 120 more , who composed the brotherhood , and once a year used to meet to arrange matters connected with the lodge . It is now 41 years since the lodgo ceased to exist . We believe two

of the original members are still alive , and they never , during all that time , expected to see the lodge re-established . Since it last closed , the box has been kept at the Green Dragon Hotel , and was opened a few weeks ago , when the very beautiful regalia of plated silver , & c , was found in perfect preservation . The ceremony of re-opening the lodge took place at four o ' clock , p . m ., by the D . Prov . G . M ., Dr . Greaves , of Penrith , assisted by

Bros , 'leather of Keswick , and Fletcher and Spencer of Whitehaven . The new oflicers were then duly appointed and installed , vix ., Bro . W . Gibson , of Whitehaven , W . M ., Bro . Martin , of Workington , S . W ., and Bro . Fleming , of Workington , J . W . It is to tho untiring- efforts of the two latter gentlemen , Bros . » Martin and Fleming , that the lodge has been so fortunately restored , and the brethren owe them a deep debt of gratitude for the great exertions they made in bringing tins object to a climax . Nineteen gentlemen were proposed and seconded for

admission as members next month . 'J he business of the lodge having been transacted , the brethren retired to dinner , which was provided by Mr . Bowman , and was of that epicurean quality for which the " Green Dragon" is , and long has been , famous . About forty sat down to the sumptuous repast . The W . M ., Bro . Gibson , occupied the chair , and discharged its duties with great ability ; and the S . W ., Bro . Martin , the vice-chair . Among the toasts proposed during the evening were the following : —The

health of Bro . Dykes , Prov . G . M ., who was , to the regret of all present , absent from illness ; the health of Bro . Greaves , D . Prov . G . M . ; and of the three P . Prov . G . S . W . 's , Bros . Teather , Spencer , and Fletcher , To Bros . Cook , Cooper , Nicholson , Thompson , M . D ., Lindsay , and Talleutire , the brethren were indebted for very materially contributing to the pleasure of the evening , by the beautiful Masonic selections , in the way of song , they introduced

between the toasts . At a quarter to 10 o'clock the meeting broke up , after heartily toasting success to the " Sun and Sector Lodge . " Among those present were—Bros . W . T . Greaves , D . Prov . G . M . ; W . B . Gibson , P . M . ; Capt . Jos . Fletcher , P . M ., P . Prov . S . G . W ., & c ; P . Qnin , P . M . ; J . Davis . P . M . ; J . Teather , P . M ., K . T . E . ; dipt . H .
