Provincial.

a very interesting case , being that of a Mason ' s widow , eighty-five years of age , her " husband a sous-lieutenant in the deini-Brigade of . Infantry , and a native of Rouen , having been initiated at Ashbyde-la-Zouch in this country in the year 1810 , in a lodge entitled , " loge Franchise Des A ' rais Amis cle l'Ordre , " worked at Ashby at the time by the French prisoners of war on parole , in the name and under the auspices of the Grand Orient of France , ancl under the immediate protection of his lordship ( le P . P . T . 111 . et T . R . )

, F . lord Moira , acting as Grand Master of all the regular lodges of tbe kingdom of Great Britain . AVe hope to be able to give copies of two certificates issued by this lodge among our Notes and Queries in a future number . NORFOLK . NoBWicn . —Perseverance Lodge ( No . 258 ) . —The installation of

Bro . AA . H . Stevens , tbe AV . M . elect of this lodge , took place on AVednesday , Jan . 16 , in the lodge-room at the Rampant Horse Hotel . The lodge was opened by Bro . E . Hyams , the retiring Master , at half-past five , and a candidate initiated by Bro . Stevens . The ceremony of installation was then commenced , ancl it was performed , in the presence of upwards of 40 brethren ( including many visitors ) , by Bro . Hyams , in a manner which elicited not merely the approbation , but the admiration of those who

witnessed it . Bro . Stevens invested the following brethren as his officers;—Bro . F . Colsey , S . AV . ; Bro . J . Darken , J . AV . ; Bro . J . Laffan Hanly , S . D . ; Bro . R . Thorns , J . D . ; Bro . Boyce , I . G . Bro . the Rev . S . Titlow , P . Prov . G . C , was also re-appointed Chaplain ; Bro . AVicks , P . M ., Director of Ceremonies ( an office in which that brother has rendered an essential service to the lodge ); Bro . Howes , P . M ; , as Treasurer ; ancl Bro . Giclney , P . M ., as Secretary . At nine o ' clock , the brethren , to the number of 15 , sat down to a

banquet in honour of the late AV . M ., Bro . Emanuel Hyams , the custom of this lodge being to confer that honour , not in anticipation on the installed Master , but on tbe retiring Master , should he merit the distinction by diligence and attention in the discharge of hisduties . On this occasion a gold P . M . ' s jewel—as rich ancl costly as such an ornament could be , ancl of very tasteful design—was presented to Bro . Emanuel Hyams on the part of the brethren of No . 258 as a token of their high appreciation of the zeal and ability with

which he hacl filled the chair , ancl his exertions in promoting the prosperity of the lodge , in whicli there have been thirteen initiations during the year . —Among the toasts was "The Health of the Provincial Grancl Officers of A orfolk " ( that of the new Prov . G . M ., Brother B . Bond Cabbell , having been previously honoured ) , to which Bro . A . M . F . MOEGAN , Prov . G . J . AV ., and late Master of the Social Lodge , responded , observing that he was sure , if Bro . Cabbell were permitted by the state ofhis health to visit his lodge more frequently , it woulcl be highly gratifying to him , having the interests of Masonry so deeply at heart , to witness the progress which it w as making in the province , and especially in this city , where there

were now four lodges in excellent working order . Bro . Morgan took the opportunity of congratulating Bro . Stevens on his elevation by tbe brethren of No . 258 to the chair which had been so well and worthily filled hy Bro . Hyams , ancl said that he was satisfied that the reputation of No . 258 , which had always ' been celebrated for its excellent working , ivould not suffer in the hands of the new Master . As to the officers of Provincial Grand Lodge , if they were not very perfect in their duties , it was owing to their not being called

together very frequently , but that did not depend on the Prov . G . M ., but upon his age and the infirmities which it brought upon him . He ( Bro . Morgan ) sincerely hoped that their Prov . G . M . might be spared yet to give even a greater emphasis and impetus to Masonry in this province , ancl to realise those aspirations for the good of the Craft which all the brethren knew Bro . Bond Cabbell sincerely felt . ( Applause . )—The toast ofthe evening , "The Health of Bro . Emanuel HyamsP . M . " was proposed bBro . J . DAIVBABN - P . M . who

, , y , , eulogised the admirable manner in which the late Master hacl conducted the working of the lodge , and of which he had given a culminating proof in the style in which ho had that evening installed his successor in the chair . He ( Bro . Dawbarn ) had seen installations both in this city and in other places , but he hacl never seen that beautiful ceremony so impressively performed as it hacl been by Bro . Hyams . The lodge was indebted to Bro . Hyams for a year of

almost unexampled prosperity , ancl the brethren were highly sensible of tbe uniformly kind ancl paternal manner in whicli be hacl treated them all , ancl could not help admiring bis dignified but conciliatory deportment in the chair , and his diligent attention to his duties , never having missed a single lodge night , or left to any other brother any portion of the work which devolved upon him . There had not beenduring his of officethe slihtest leasant

, year , g unp incident , but he had ruled his lodge with an affection and discretion ivhich had won the regard of every brother , ancl cemented that feeling of harmony and fraternal love which ought always to subsist between the members of a Masonic lodge . Bro . Dawbarn then , amid loud applause , presented , in behalf of the brethren , the jewel

they bad subscribed for as a testimonial to Bro . HTAIIS , who returned his grateful thanks for the compliment , ancl assured the brethren that their handsome present ivould be a stimulus to him to discharge the duties of Past Master as diligently ancl as satisfaetorily as he was glad to find they considered he had fulfilled those of the chair . — "The Health of Bro . W . It . Stevens , AV . M ., " wa » next proposed bBro . H ancl cordialldrunk . The brethren enjoyed

y yams , y a most agreeable evening , which , indeed , has been peculiarly the case this year at the Masonic- reunions which have been held at the Norwich lodges—a fact which indicates the revival which has taken place in the spirit of Masonry in the city , and tbe harmony which pervades , not only the members of the lodges individually , hut the lodges themselves in relation to each other—a sentiment which has been materiallpromoted by the visits of the brethren to

y each others' lodges , both for the sake of witnessing the working—¦ ivhich is a duty incumbent on the brethren—and for the pleasure of enjoying that social intercourse which is one of the great fruits of Masonry , and which can nowhere be more agreeably realised than at present among the Masons of Norwich . JEslo perpetua !

SOUTH AVALES . SWANSEA . —Indefatigable Lodge ( No . 288 ) . —On Thursday , the 27 th ult ., being tbe Festival of St . John , a large gathering of the members of this lodge took place .

D . Michael , P . Prov . Dir . Cers . in his wonted impressive manner . After having expressed to the lodge

his acknowledgments for the honour conferred upon him , the W . M . proceeded with the appointment ancl investiture of his officers for the year , delivering to each an appropriate address , remindir . g them of their duties in their new positions .

AV ., a vote of thanks was passed with acclamation to Bro . Edward J . Morris , Prov . G . J . D ., for the ability and kind feeling be hacl displayed in conducting the affairs of the lodge

during the past year . —In acknowledging the compliment , Bro . Morris attributed tbe successful , harmonious working of the lodge to the hearty support so freely accorded him by the brethren ; ancl passing in review the noticeable events of the year—financial ancl administrative—alluded to the many claims for charitable purposes which had pressed upon the members , notwithstanding the frequent response to ivhich the brethren hacl again cheerfully contributed towards the fund now raising , with a view to constitute

thenrespected Prov . G .
