America, (United States).

••Amongst the evidences abroad of the active interest which pervades the Fraternity , and the increasing desire after information , I cannot omit noticing the . Masonic periodicals which have but recently sprung into existence . The eldest of these . ' The Masonic Register , published at Albany , by our W . Bro . Hoffmann , lias reached its third year . In the course ot the past year •The Freemasons' Magazine . ' edited by tho R W . Grand Secretary of the G . L . of Massachusetts . •The Masonic Journal ; published at Augusta , in Georgia , and •The Masonic Mirror , ' published at M . iysville , Kentucky , have commenced then-career . 1 hese periodicals , if conducted with a careful regard for the Landmarks of the Order , by experienced and thorou'ddv instructed Brethren , may be valuable auxiliaries for the dillusion of T RUTH AND their to favour with the and secure their own reward

LiaiiT- they will win way Fraternity , ; and it is to be hoped they may never become the vehicles of crude opinions , or , through a love of novelty , which is a marked characteristic of tlieage , tamper with the venerable usages of the Order , established by the wisdom of our fathers , and approved by the experience ot " " " i have a pleasure in informing vou , that at the present time , there is a strong desire amon-st our Brethren that the G . L . should recommend some general plan for the improvement of those leisure hours which occur occasionally in every Lodge . No new regulation is necessary . Theopinionof the G . L . plainly expressed in tlie annual circular I have proposed , will be more etl ' cciive than legislation . "

A Report , signed by Charles AV . Moore , chairman of a committee of delegation , to the convention of Grand Lodges , recently held at AVashington , was received with general applause . Among its points was the consideration of an irregular Grand Lodge held in Michigan . The committee on " uniform working , " also presented a very able and satisfactory report . The following extract is worth attention : committee have therefore agreed to recommend as the best plan for accomplishing

•' Your the object contemplated by the M . W . Grand Lodge of Alabama , and for prcservm-according to a pure and unchangeable svstcm , tlie ceremonies anil lectures of the Ancient Cratt , that everv Grand Lotl ^ e in the United States appoint one or more skilful Brethren , to be styled Graiid Lecturers ? who shall meet and agree upon ihe course of instruction necessary and proper to be imparted to the Lodges and the Fraternity , in their several jurisdictions , and who shall be rci | iiired to convene at some central place , at least , once m three years , to compare their lectures and to correct variations . "

The Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer reported their accounts , giving the most ample details . June 2 . —The M . W . " MORGAN LEWIS was unanimously re-elected Grand Master . The committee on foreign correspondence delivered a very elaborate report , from which we extract the following :

•' Vour committee would respectfully recommend , that some definite action be taken with regard to •French and Scottish Rites , ' as information uii tins subject is called for troni ™ " Vour committee arc highly gratified in reporting , that the Representative System is becomin" better understood than at its first institution in this country ; and that it is strongly recommended by manv of the Grand Loilges . As its benefits are obvious , and of great moment , it only requires ' a little rctlection to see its vast importance ; and we hope , and eonhdelltlv believe , that , ere long , it will be generally adopted . " . " Vour committee have looked forward with anxious solicitude to the time , when every known Grand Lodge would have a representative in this Grand Lodge , through whom we annual of the affairs of each Masonic Governmentand everything

should receive an report , within the ran » e of those important and interesting departments ; but if the credentials are withheld froirTthe representative , or having his credentials , if the body he is appointed to represent treats him , or rather his Grand Lodge , with utter contempt , by failing to recognise him or notice him in any wav , then the system becomes a mere farce , and the sooner it is abolished the better . These strictures are occasioned by thesingular and outrageous conduct of the Worshipful , of the city of Dublin , in Ireland . That individual was nominated as our representative , by the Grand Lodge of Ireland , in 1 M 1 and confirmed by this Grand Loilne ; who at the same tunc recommended Worshipful Brother Boyd , ot this Grand LnuVe , 3 s the representative of the Grand Lodge of Ireland ; who soon alter transof this rand to Worshipful Brother —by a confidential

mitted the regalia G Lodge , ¦ vent which iv'i'iit soon at ' turwauls returned to this eounti y and stated that he had delivered them ' Now " the remarkable and outrageous conduct complained oi by your committee , is this ; That worthy Brother , whom the Grand Lodge o ! the State of New York bail honoured by making him its representative , and who was complimented with the re-ali-i of the body so honouring him , and who has received letter after letter from W or-slnpful Brother llovd , besides valuable printed documents , has never written one word in reply , or taken the least notice either of him or of the Grand Lodge , or transmitted , as in ¦ iitj bound , the recalia of tlie Grand Lodge of Ireland , in return tor the one received by linn . S . g in all attempts at recognition through this Brother — . the Worshipful Brother Bovd then addressed the Right Worshipful Grand Secretary ill Ireland , Brother J . I'owlcr , but with as little success , as no answer has been received from him in reply . , vr ; ., l , i •' In the month of Februai y last , a letter , which is on file , was ; received from Bro . . r gI , who is tlie representative of the Grand Lodge of Virginia , at the Grand Lodge of Inland ,
