Grand Conclave
CROSS OF CHRIST ENCAMPMENT , March 16 . —The installation of Sir Knight Col . Vernon , E . C , elect , was the signal for a good muster of the members and their friends . The ceremony was impressively conducted , and reflected great credit on those who were engaged in the solemn rites . The banquet , as usual in this Encampment , was indicative as well of the rights of hospitality , as of chivalric sentiments .

THE CHARITIES .
THE GIRLS' SCHOOL . —The Editor of the " Freemasons' Calendar " having remembered to forget the announcement of the Annual Festival of this excellent Charity , —it is to be hoped that its interests will not suffer by the omission . We , however , think it right to enlist the sympathy of the brethren , and to state that on the Third Wednesday in May , they will have the great privilege of testifying their approbation of the school , and of supporting its interests .
The school affairs are prospering to the satisfaction of its patrons . THE BOYS' SCHOOL . —The Fifty-first Festival was celebrated on the 14 th March , at Freemasons' Hall . We have not been complimented by receiving any report of the proceedings , but understand that the result was honourable to the liberality of the stewards , both as to the amount of subscriptions , and to tbe social happiness of the day . Bro . R . G . Alston presided with his accustomed energy and tact , —the numbers present fell short .
With regard to the statistics of the institution , there are some arrangements pending , which it would be premature to make public . THE BENEVOLENT ANNUITY FUND . —The 30 th of January was fixed on to celebrate the Second Festival , —to this no reasonable objection could be offered ; and that it might not interfere with the interests of the charity , the Asylum Ball was postponed a month later than usual , — when lo ! a second circular was issuedstating that such day was
incon-, venient , —and the 12 th of June was substituted ; of course it could not be inferred , that to fix a day within ten days of the celebration of the Asylum Festival could not at all affect the interests of that charity , and therefore we presume the change was purely accidental . We doubt , however , whether it be purely Masonic .
