The business having been opened by the W . M . Bro . Capt . Emmerson , the address was read by P . M . Bro . Martin , as follows : —
"We , the Worshipful Master , Officers , and Brethren of the St . David ' s Lodge , No , 540 , of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of England , assembling at Bangor , in the province of which you are so worthily the immediate ruler , approach you , as in duty hound , to express our deep sympathy and condolence on the recent severe loss which you have sustained in the destruction by fire of your ancient family mansion at Wynnstay , and the valuable property accumulated within its walls .
"It reduces much of our pain , and will doubtlessly alleviate the pangs of sorrow which you must necessarily feel on the occurrence of so afflicting an event , that it has been ordained by a gracious Providence that the visitation has fallen upon one whose worldly circumstances will lessen the burden of so sad a calamity , and that it has been unattended with loss of life to your dear friends or domestics . Especially do we rejoice that your amiable partner , the wife of your bosom , whose virtues are heard of far and near , escaped the danger which for a time seriously threatened her .
"We trust that you may both live long to exercise those truly Masonic virtues by which your union has been attended—faith , hope , and charity—and that the Almighty Architect of the Universe will dispose your ; minds so that this infliction by His chastening hand may result in bringing forth the fruits of holiness and true happiness , to His honour and glory . "
Sir Watkin thus replied : —Worshipful Master and Brethren , I return you my best thanks , and also on behalf of Lady Wynn , for the kind expression of sympathy contained in the address now presented to me , and which , sympathy has been extended tons from all parts of the principality . I hope and trust that whilst I have the honour of presiding over this province , I shall be able to act up to the principles of the Order to which we have all the happiness of belonging .
The usual business of the Lodge having been concluded , upwards of forty of the Brethren proceeded to the banquet-room , and partook of a sumptuous repast . After the cloth had been removed , th © W . M . gave the usual introductory toasts . He then said , that he wished the next toast had been left to a more competent person to propose ; for it was tho toast of the evening . The kind mani-
