Opening Of The Freemasons' Hall At Llandudno.

good meeting , and I hope it will be a remunerative one to him , He has . my most ardent and sincere wishes , and I acknowledge his services as most generous . Let me not forget the one who participates with him , I mean his excellent partner , I am sure not less to her than to him , brethren , should we take into account and accord "reat merit for the handsome entertainment

wo have received tins evening ; and it is only due to him to acknowledge it , and I give you " Tho health of Bro . Roberts , and many thanks to him . " Bro . Roberts : Worshipful Master , I am in duty bound to return thanks for the good wishes you have expressed towards Mrs . Roberts and myself and for drinking our health . It has always been my wish , since I took the Queen ' s Hotel , to do my dutyand I have done it with good will and to the best of my

, power and ability . I knew that Bro . Bulkeley Hughes would support me , and I will say he has done so , and I have stuck to the St . Tudno Lodge till the very last . This is the last catering I shall have to do for you , but if called upon , I am perfectly ready when wanted . I am truly grateful , and you have all our united good wishes for the lodge . I have done my very best . Bro B . Hughes : I wish to make one observation before I go

further . AVhen I tell you that , having arrived at the age of nearly three score years and ten , and that three weeks ago I broke my collar-bone on an old fracture of the same bone , you will see that I have no little interest in Alasonry . AVhen I went to Denbigh , my torture was great ; whether it is Masonry or what , here I am to-day with less torture and less pain . I am here in the proud position of Worshipful Alaster , to-morrow

I go to Llangefni , where I am the Senior Warden . I only hope that younger men will do more than I am able to do , and will honour us by attending to-morrow at Llangefni . \ A e cannot undertake to banquet you as well , but yon will have a hearty welcome and good wine ; and to show that there is something in the invitation , I am proud to say I have induced my excellent friend and brother Bro . Goldsbro' to say that he will accompany me .

Bro . Roden proposed "The Health of Bro . Watkins and the Musical Brethren . " Bro . Griffiths replied on their behalf , and afterwards on behalf of the Press . The usual final toast was most feelingly and impressively given by the AVorshipful Alaster , and thus terminated , in the utmost harmony , one of the happiest and most successful Alasonic meetings it has been opr pleasure to record .

THE LATE MASOXIC KING- OF HAXOVEB AND TIIE JEWS . — The Jews lived under the rule of our blind brother in contentment and happiness , fully enjoying the royal protection , and in possession of all the rights exercised by their fellow-citizens of other denominations . The life of the dethroned king and brother is full of sweet illustration of Masonic teaching , Masonic

toleration and Masonic charity . AVe trust that our royal brother of Prussia will put into practice his Masonic principles , aud will treat Masonically and governmentally the Jews as he does the Lutherans throughout all his great empire .
