LODGES OF INSTRUCTION . Oct . 2 . —The Masonic session maybe said tocommenceon the first Friday in October , which is the anniversary of "the EmulationLodge of Improvement for Master Masons , " ivhich , as it is well known , was founded by the late Brothers Peter Gilkes , John Smith , E . Wittington , and others ; and some of their pupils , who , still glorying in perpetuating
the valuable services which the departed worthies rendered to the Craft , are impressed with a filial respect for their memory , and are imbued wilh spirit and zeal to hand down the information to future generations . Brothers S . B . Wilson , Key , Pike , and other excellent brethren , and again their pupils , at the head of whom may be reckoned Brother Savage , merit the admiration of the Craft , for their unremitting labours ; it is to us a most gratifying duty to be able to write thus of those past and
present , to whom , as Masons , we are so much indebted . On this evening , the presiding Master , Brother Z . Watkins alluded to the valuable services of the Treasurer , Brother S . B . Wilson , who was unanimously re-elected , but we regret to record his absence from severe indisposition . The Master presented to Brother Savage a very handsome jewel , that had been subscribed for by the brethren , to mark their sense of his kind and efficient services for several years as
Secretary . After supper , the memory of the late Brother Peter Gilkes was drunk in solemn silence—the Queen and Prince Albert—the Grand Master , the Duke of Sussex—may he nobly exercise his high prerogative of justice with charity , by promoting the union of peace and harmony—the Grand Officers , with some Masonic allusions to the recent appointment of the Marquis of Salisbury . These loyal and Masonic toasts were all well received .
