G . M . ; ard the Prov . G . M . so appointed shall exercise the same powers within his Province as are exercised by the M . W . the G . M . in England . That it is further expedient that the same privileges be accorded to other foreign Prov . Grand Lodges on their petition ; and the M . W . the G . M . is hereby respectfully requested to carry this resolution into effect at as early a period as possible : " and also , " That the thanks of this G . L . are due , and are hereby given , to those .

The Chabity Jewel . —Bro . Henry G . Warren , P . M . No . 202 , will move , at the next quarterly communication of Grand Lodge , a resolution as follows : — " That whereas the present regulation , under which the Charity Jewel can only be worn by Brethren who have served as Stewards at the festivals of the c Royal Freemasons' Charity for Pemale Children' and the ' Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , ' is manifestly unjust towards the Royal Benevolent Institution for Aged Freemasons and their Widows / in consequence of the Brethren serving as Stewards at the festivals of that institution not enjoying a corresponding privilege with

the Stewards of the other charities ; it is resolved , that henceforth Brethren serving as Stewards at the festivals of any two of the Masonic charities shall be entitled to wear the Charity Jewel , and that on serving the office of Steward to the third charity , they shall be at liberty , in addition thereto , to Wear an emblematic clasp on the ribbon by which such jewel is suspended . "

" The Temple . "—Bro . Binckes , W . M . No . 11 , has given notice of his intention to move , at the next Quarterly Communication of Grand Lodge , the following resolution : "That , with a view to remedy the urgent . want of increased accommodation felt by the proprietors of the Freemasons' Tavern , this Grand Lodge resolves , that , pending any contemplated arrangements or plans for providing such accommodation , the use of the new Masonic Hall ( generally known as the Temple ) be granted to the proprietors on all occasions when required hy the legitimate exigencies of business , on the same terms as it is now granted when its use is desired for ordinary Masonic purposes .

The Boys' School.

THE BOYS' SCHOOL .

The annual festival in aid of this institution was held at the Freemasons Tavern on the 12 th March , when , in consequence of the exertions making to raise a fund for the erection or purchase of a suitable school-house , there was an unusually numerous attendance—nearly 300 Brethren sitting down to dinner , and there being about 100 ladies in the gallery . The chair was occupied by the M . W . G . M ., the Earl of Zetland , in consequence of the unavoidable absence , through illness , of Lord Londesborough . P . G . Warden , who had uromised to

nre-CJ ' CJ / * X J . side . His lordship was supported by Bros . Purton Cooper , Q . C ., Prov . G . M . for Kent ; Samuel Rawson , Prov . G . M . for China ; Robert John Bagshaw , Prov . G . M . for Essex ; Edward Baldwin , P . J . G . W . ; George W , K . Potter , P . J . G . D . ; Bonamy Dobree , P . S . G . W . ; John Hervey , Y . P ., P . S . G . D . ; Thomas Bisgood , Dep . Prov . G . M . for Kent , Lord North , & c . & c . The M . W . G . M ., in proposing the first toast , said it was one which all the Brethren would readily anticipate as that which could be given in no society

in England without respect and admiration or the many virtues or the illustrious personage whose health it comprehended — a respect and admiration in which none shared more zealously or more loyally than the Freemasons of England . ( Hear . ) He would , then , without farther comment , give them the " Health of her Majesty . " The queen , in addition to other claims , was also the

patroness of the institution . The toast was drunk with all the honours . The W . M . said , the toast which he had now the honour to propose was not one of those usually given on the festival days of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , but was one on the present occasion peculiarly appropriate . While Europe was engaged in a sanguinary war , England was cultivating the arts of peace , and her commerce was flourishing to a greater extent than at any former period .
