Lodge Of Loyalty, No. 1607.

did not intend to preface the toasts with exhaustive comments ; therefore he would at onco proposo the health of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales their Most Wor . Grand Master . This toast having been enthusiastically received , " God bless the Princo of Wales" was rendered ; the refrain being well sustained . Past Master Newton proposed the health of the W . M . Owing to an

untoward circumstance , ho had to act as the Immediate Past Master . It afforded him great pleasure to propose the toast , for various reasons ; he had initiated their esteemed Worship f ul Master into the mysteries and privileges of Freemasonry , and dnring that afternoon ho had installed him in the honourable and proud position which he now occupied in their midst . It was indeed a remarkable

coincidence , and moreover , one that did nnt often occur . Bat so it was . As regards their Worshipful Master , he need hardly add that hi * genial , amiable , and courteous manners had won their esteem and regard . Bro . Beedell had filled all the offices leading to the chair , with zeal and ability , which was an earnest that he would fill that office in a similar manner . He ( the speaker ) looked upon him as

bis adopted son , at least in Freemasonry ; he therefore took a deep interest in all that appertained to their Masonic duties and obligation s . The Lodge was now commencing a new era . It had been in a different condition compared with what it was now , and , to use a metaphor , after having stood still for a season it wns now enabled to run by itself . If at any time his advice shonld be required and

sought for , he would tender it with much pleasure , and co-operate with them in every possible manner , in order to advance the prosperity of the Lodge in whioh he felt so ranch interest . After having in graceful terms , make somo further remarks in reference to the Lodge , he proposed the W . M . ' s health . The W . M . in ackuowlodging the compliment observed that he was much indebted to

P . M . Newton , who had so kindly proposed his health . He felt he did not deserve the encomiums which had been passed upon him . He could not however conceal the fact that from the hour of his initiation he had felt an interest in the welfare of tho Lodge , and wonld do all in his power to maintain its prestige . He was alive to the fact that deep responsibilities rested on him , and that in a measure much

would depend npon him . He rejoiced , however , to know that he had excellent Officers , who would support him in any difficulties that might arise . Moreover , if counsel were needed , he knew from whom it conld he obtained . He had received that afternoon many pledges of kindness , therefore he anticipated a prosperous vear of office and an accession of members . The W . M . next proposed the Visitors ,

whom be was pleased to see ; on the part of the Lodge he gave them a hearty welcome . At all times he should be glad to see them in the Lodge , and hoped that those then present wonld come among them again and again . Bro . P . M . Wallington acknowledged the compliment , remarking that as Preceptor of the Dalhousie Lodge of Instruction , held at tbe Seven Sisters' Tavern . Pownall Road ,

Dalston , ho was gratified to see so many around the festive table who had been under his instruction . He had been instrumental in educating brethren for tho chair , Bro . Webb being an instance thereof . He had a knowledge of Freemasonry extending over half a century , and if the younger brethren would educate themselves by attending regularly , under proper instructors , he had no fear that all

of them wonld pass the chair with credit to themselves and honour to their respective Lodges . Ho hoped to live to see them all installed . Bro . J . J . Brinton , having also been called on to respond complied , and subsequently , as the representative of the FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE , acknowledged the compliment paid tbe Press . The Wnrshipfnl Master remarked that they must not forget absent brethren , he

proposed the health of those far away . Bro . Perceval had two sons at the Cape of Good Hope , he would therefore associate this name with the toast . Bro . Perceval replied ; he would communicate to his sons the fact that they wore remembered , although far , far awav . As a father he felt gratified thus to he called npon to respond . The W . M . said the toast next , in the usual order he should have tn

propose would havo been the Immediate Past Master ; under the untoward circumstances , however , which had overtaken Brn . P . M . Lcgge , that toast would bo passed over . He the ( W . M . ) held in his hand the jewel which , had his predecessor in office been present , it would have been his pleasure to plane on his breast . That , however , conld not be accomplished , to the infinite regret of all within call .

They all respected Bro . Legge , who had never made an enemy , but many sincere friends . He was ill , and therefore could not b" among them ; this was the cause of unfeigned sorrow to one and all . He ( the W . M . ) would therefore entrust the jewel to Brn . Newton , who would , no donbt , invest their sick brother therewith , and convey to him the expressions of sympathy which had been spontaneously

evoked that afternoon . The anxions desire of them all was , that their brother might speedily be restored to health , and take his place among them when next they assembled . Bro . P . M . Newton , to whom the jewel had been handed , said he wonld at the earliest moment invest P . M . Legge therewith , according to the wishes of the W . M . and the Lodge generall y . The W . M . then proposed the health of the Instal .

hng Officer Bro . P . M . Newton , who in his genial manner acknowledged the compliment . Then the P . M . ' s were honoured , to which compliment Bro . Webb replied . The toast of the Treasnrer and Secretary was alsn given from the chair , and Bros . Brown and Newton responded . In speaking of the Masonic Institutions , the W . M ., iu a clever and forcible speech , expatiated on the incalculable good these Institutions

were dail y effecting . He called on the brethren to contribute in a liberal spirit towards them . In February next , as Steward , ho would nave to hand to the Treasnrer their contributions , and he expressed a hope that their Lod ge would be foremost in liberality . It would be quite unnecessary for him to state that their money would be well

expended ;—that they all knew . Bnt they did not know who heroafter among them might have of necessity to be the recipients of such bounty . We do not know what shall be on the morrow , what changes may occur , or adverse circumstances arise . P . M . Mason responded ; in an eloquent speech he gave a sketch of the several Masonic Institutions , he would not call them " Charities . " Alluding io tne education received by the boys and girls , he remarked that

great care was taken to teach them subjects which wonld fit them for battle in tho world in after life . Tho sum of £ 12 , 000 was annually expended on the Benevolent Institution , which would testify to the magnitude of their responsibilities . More and moro calls were daily being mado on tho Trustees , who wero unable to meet every case , however deserving , and however great their anxiety to afibrd

assistance . The money , to a farthing , was judiciously spent , and it was quite true tho allegations mado against the Order that their Institution for the relief of needy brethren was a " huge benefit society . " Much as he deplored that so many calls should be made for assistance from all quarters , ho should still moro deplore the fact if no assistance could be rendered when sought for . They would

remember that some time since a rumour prevailed that the funds wero foolishly lavished away . This caused an investigation , the result being that such charges were completely refuted ; more than that , it was proved that the greatest amount of economy and care had been taken in the administration of the funds . It wonld be well if others would do as much for their necessitous brethren as did tho

Freemasons , and that without parade or vain glory . The W . M . here asked the Treasurer to take round a subscription list , whioh request was complied with , and notwithstanding several brethren who reside » t remote distances had been compelled to retire , the sum of £ 50 wns collected . In addition several sums were promised , so that the Loyalty Lodge , it is anticipated , will not bo behind many others id

their bounty in February next . The health of the Officers of tho Lodge was a toast much appreciated . The manner in whioh the W . M . extolled hia Officers could not fail to convince them they were regarded as being effioient to discharge the duties npon whioh they had entered . Bro . B . Jones S . W . responded , and then the Tyler ' s toast concluded these interesting proceedings .

Kingsland Lodge of Instruction , TTo . 1693 . —Held at the Canonbury Tavern , Islington . This is about the most successful Lodge of Instruction in the North of London . It has been started abont fifteen months , and since then has subscribed £ 5 5 s to the Asylum for Aged Freemasons , repaid the preliminary expenses of the founders , and at the present time has a good balance in hand . The meetings aro held each Monday , all through the vear , and the

attendances are very good . Last Monday Bro . P . M . Gillham , of the Stuart ; Lodge , very ably rehearsed the third ceremony , Bro . Rowley being the candidate . The Preceptor . Bro . P . M .
