MOVEABLE GRAND CONCLAVE AT LEICESTER .

Our columns have many tunes lately borne testimony to the vigorous giowth of this Chivalric Order . Prcbnbly one of the most successful meetings which have yet been held out of the Metropolis was that which took place at

Freemasons Hall , Leicester , on the occasion of the first Movable Grand Conclave . The idea of holding movable assemblies originated , we believe , from an observation of the success which had attended the provincial meetings of

Red Cross Of Constantine.

the Mark Grand Lodge . The members of the Leicester Conclave ( the Byzantine No . 44 ) accordingly resolved on issuing an invitation to the Grand Council to hold their first meeting in Leicester , which having been accepted , Tuesday ,

2 ist Oct ., was the dny fixed on for it to take place . The Byzantine Conclave having been opened by the AI . P . S ., Sir Knt . S . S . Partridge , K . G . C ., assisted by his officers , the Grand Council were announced and received in due form under the

" arch of steel , " a march being played on the organ by Sir Knt . E . J . Crow , Mus Bac . The Grand Conclave was then opened by Col . Fras . Burdett , as G . Sov ., the Int . Gen . of the Province , Sir Knt . W . Kelly , acting as G . Viceroy .

Amongst those present were the following : — G . Council : —V . I . Sir Knights Col . Burdett , G . S . G . ; R . Wentworth Little , G . Treas . ; Dr . Woodman , G . Rec ; R . W . Stewart , G . AI . ; and John Boyd , G . Hist . hits General . —V . I . Sir Knights W . Kelly ,

Leicestershire ; Sir G . E . Campbell , Hants ; Captain G . Turner . W . Lane . ; J . G . Alarsh , Essex ; Dr . Kellett Smith , Unatt . G . Senate : —V . E . Sir Knights T . Cubitt , G . Pref ; G . Toller . Jun ., G . V . Ch . ; Geo . Kenning ,

G . Inst , of Reg . ; T . B . Yeoman , G . U . Knts . G . Cross : —V . E . Sir Knts . S . S . Partridge , and E . — Thiellay . Sovns . —E . and P . Sir Knts . H . A . Dubois , Col . Peters , G . Phillips , 19 ; Rev . W . Langley , 44 .

With representatives from the Premier and many other Conclaves . The attendance book was not signed by * all present , so that their names are unavoidably omitted .

Dr . Woodman read the report ofthe Executive Committee , which shewed that the recent rapid spread of the Order has been fully maintained , conclaves now being established in all parts of the world .

Col . Burdett , after referring to the services of the Earl of Bective , and the prosperity of the order under his sway , nominated Sir . F . AI . Williams , as G . Sov ., for the ensuing year .

The nomination was supported by the acting Grand V . E ., who spoke of Sir F . AI . Williams ' s truly Alasonic spirit , as evidenced by his liberal donations to the charities , and slated that the members ofthe O K L T in Leicestershire would view

his election with great satisfaction , owing to h's kindly support of a local candidate for the Boys ' School . A Sanctuary of K . H . S . and Commandery of St . John were then opened and the degrees were conferred on 24 candidates , Sir Knt . Little

acting as M . Ii . Commander , the other offices b / uig filled by members of the Patriarchal Council and visitors . It is probably not too much to say that these degrees rank second to none in the solemnity and impressiveness ofthe rituals , and as they

become more widely known , they will be better appreciated . As an appendage to the Red Cross Degree , they are most valuable , and we think the Patriarchal Council have exercised a wise discretion in allowing them to be worked out of London .

At the conclusion of the ceremony the Alount Hermon Sanctuary of K . H . S . and Commandery of St . John , No . 44 , were constituted , ia connection with the Bjzrnitine Conclave .

On resuming the business of Grand Conclave , Sir Knight S . . S . Partridge , AI . P . S . 44 , in tlie name of his conclave , welcomed the illustrious visitors , and expressed the pleasure experienced by the Leicester Knights at the success of the proceedings .

The G . Sov ., 111 responding , alluded to the gratification of the Grand Council at their reception , and at the flourishing state of the Order in Leicestershire . Letters of apology were received from the G . Sov ., and all members of the Council not

piesent , as also from many others holding high rank in the Order . Afti-r the conclave was closed , about fifty sat down to a banquet , at which the acting G . Sov . presided . Space forbids us to say more than that the toasts in the following list were heartily

received , an unanimous testimony was borne by the success of the meeting , and the hope was expressed that hereafter they may be of regular

occurrence . The following were the toasts , with . the names of those , who responded : — " Her Alost Gracious Alajesty the Queen , and the Christian Orders ; " "Their Royal Highnesses

the Prince and Princess of Wales , and the rest of the Royal Famil y ; " " The ALL Grand Sovereign , the Earl of Bective ; " "The Acting G . Sov ., Col . Burdett , " ( Col . Burdett ) ; "The M . E . Giand Yiceory , Sir Frederick M . Williams and the Past and Present Alembers of

the Grand Council" ( R . Wentworth Little ); "The Intendants General of Divisions , " ( W . Kelly and J . G . Alarsh ); " The Earl Ferrers , Grand Preceptor , the other Officers of the Grand Senate ; and the Knights Grand Cross" ( G . Toller , jun ) ; "The Sovereigns and Viceroys of the several

Conclaves of the Order , " ( Col . Peters ) ; " Prosperity to the Byzantine Conclave , No . 44 , " ( S . S . Partridge ) ; "The Sentinel ' s Toast . " We believe it is probable that an invitation will be given to hold the next meeting in Liverpool .

[ Having had the pleasure of attending this meeting we need only add that the reception given to the Grand Council reflected the utmost credit upon the Leicestershire Knights , and we are sure it is highly appreciated . ]—En . Freemason .
