W ., Wm . Hay S . D ., E . Jenkinson I . G ., when Dr . Steinhouse was duly advanced to that degree , and then to that of the Most Excellent

Master . The Chapter was then opened , G . W . Wheeler Z ., Jas . Ferguson H ., J . Tweed J ., Jas . Balfour S . E ., W . Shaw S . N ., J . Bannerman T ., J . Balfour 1 st S ., J . Kay 2 nd S ., Wm .

Confidence Lodge of Instruction , No . 193 . —At the meeting of this Lodge , on Wednesday , the 16 th inst ., held at Masons ' Hall Tavern , Masons' Avenue , Basinghall-street , E . G ., Bro . David Posener occupied the chair , ably assisted by Bros . Turquand S . W ., Farmer J . W ., E . Gottheil P . M . Preceptor , Blinkhorn as Secretary , Walker S . D ., Loewenstark J . D ., Gomm I . G . ; there wero also present Bro . Yetton P . M ., and an average number of other brethren . The

third ceremony was excellently performed by the W . M ., Bro . George Corner acting as candidate . Three sections were then worked by Bro . Yetton , assisted by the brethren . Two visitors , namely , Bros . J . E . Walters of 188 , and Brown , of an American Lodge , were elected joining members . Bro . Walters heartily thanked the brethren for tho honour conferred upon him by tho unanimous election . Ho

belonged to three Lodges of Instruction besides this , but he must single out two of them in which the work was done in a slipshod manner , where decorum is scarcely observed , and , indeed , chattering and laughing takes place oven during the most solemn parts of tho ceremonies . He , therefore , thought the brethren would well understand the pleasure he had enjoyed that evening in witnessing tho

proceedings ; not only was the Avorking , as a whole , perfect , but ho thought it Avould bear comparison Avith that of the Joppa Lodge , which Avas , in his opinion , second to none in that respect . He was glad to perceive that strict attention was paid to every detail . He hoped his attendance would be frequent , for he was sure that Avas tho place in which to receive sound instruction , and to

obtain the knoAvledge necessary to the aspirant for the higher offices of the Lodge . Bro . Brown was very much obliged for having been elected a member of the Lodgo . He hailed from a far distant country , AA'here the working , although the same iu all essentials , nevertheless differed materially in many particulars . He , however , liked to visit different Lodges , and to observe the various modes of

working , as by such means an amount of experience was gained which could scarcely bo attained in any other way . Ho was extrcmely pleased with what he had Avitnessed that evening . His stay in London would shortly como to an end , but he hoped to be enabled to renew his visit at some future time . Bro . Fenner was elected to preside at the next meeting . Bro . Turquand , in seconding the

proposition , stated that tho reason why he had changed places Avith the J . W . was that as there are two off nights in this mouth , ho was desirous to occupy the chair on tho last Wednesday , to enable him to rehearse the ceremony of Installation , and hoped that the fact would bo made known amongst tho brethren generally , as he would like to have a good muster on that occasion .

Dramatic Lodge , No . 571—Bro . W . J . E . Dobson E . W . M . presiding , assisted by Bros . J . Huston D . M ., H . Jackman S . W ., E . Smyth J . W ., L . Mitchell S . D ., G . Brian Secretary , J . Eobinson I . G . A proposition from Mr . A . M . Smith having been unanimously sustained , ho Avas initiated in a very careful manner by the E . W . M . Tho Lodge was then raised to the 2 nd degree , and at his request Bro . G . W . Wheeler passed Bros . Alfred Given and Matthew Eose

for No . 571 , Bros . Wm . Pinkerton for the Clyde 408 , and Thos . Tait for the Athol 413 . After the ceremony , Bro . Liddel , on behalf of the Athol , and Bro . Irwin , for the Clyde , returned thanks for the favour conferred on their respective Lodges . Bro . Dobson said it was always a pleasure to assist a sister Lodge . Bro . J . Law P . M . 570 , and Bro . Huggis of 87 were then affiliated as honorary members , and tho Lodge was closed in due form .

D ., Edwin Sugg I . G ., Speight Tyler ;

Past Master W . S . Mastermau , and a good attendance of members ; Visitors Bros . Chas . Horsley , Spooncr and W . W . Morgan . It mus t be very gratifying to Bro . Sugg , considering tho intense heat , ai d the early hour appointed for the commeiicernout of the proceedings , that he was supported so well by the members of his Lodge . The business on the paper was exceptionally heavy , and punctually at

three o clock the Lodge was opened . Bro \ G . Eobins , Cousins and Methven were examined as to their proficiency , and the replies bein " satisfactory , the W . M . ably worked the ceremony of the third degree in their behalf . Bro . Magnus Ohren , the worthy Secretary , whoso business engagements had necessitated his being a little late , here

read the minutes of the last meeting , Avhich Avere confirmed and duly signed . Bro . David W . Sugg then underwent the customary examination previous to his being passed , and the way in which his answers were given showed ho had obtained a thorough knowled ge of what was required .
