THE MASONIC ^ MIEROR .
DEPUTY GKAND MASTER . We have heard with much regret that Lord Yarborough has resigned the office of Deputy Grand Master . It i » also reported that Lord Londesborough is to succeed him .
THE GBAND SECRETARY . It is with extreme regret that we hear Bro . White , who has filled the important office of Grand Secretary for a period of half a century , lies dangerously ill , and that hut slight hopes are entertained * of his recovery . We have had occasion sometimes to speak in terms of disapprobation of the management of the Grand Secretary ' s office ; but all who have the pleasure of the acquaintance of
Bro . White , will bear testimony to his truly estimable qualities as a man , and his excellence as a Freemason . Advancing years have of late doubtless prevented Bro . White paying such close attention to the duties of bis office as formerly , and to that cause may probably be traced many of those grounds of complaint to which we have had to allude , and which might have been prevented , had greater energy been displayed amongst the assistants in the Grand Secretary ' s office in reminding him of details which may have escaped his notice .

Ms , who were present , with intense pleasure and satisfaction . Indeed we may congratulate this Lodge not only on its prosperous condition , but also upon having a Master to preside over it so fully competent in every respect as our Bro .
