Provincial.

laying that stone on which it is your intention to erect a new market . Tlie attentions to the improvements of the town manifested by the present mayor and corporation , and your predecessors in office , have for years past excited the admiration of your fellow-townsmen ; and your exertions have merited and obtained general approbation . The business of this day will long be remembered in the annals of the town ; and in the name of the Craft of Free and Accepted Masonsand in ownI

, my , sincerely implore the Supreme Architect of the Universe to prosper all your undertakings . Gentlemen , the Alayor has been so kind as to allude to the association which has so long existed between the famil y of AVheatley and the corporation and inhabitants of Doncaster . Born and bred amongst you , I have every incitement to take an interest in all your proceedings . All my ideas—all my dearest recollections of my youth are associated with this town ; and if ever I can make myself

useful , it is a great satisfaction to me to do so , and to promote your comfort and happiness . " ( Loud applause , followed by three cheers for Sir AVilliam Cooke . ) Sir WM . COOKE then said— " Permit me to request the Mayor to act as my deputy in going through the ceremony of laying this first stone , as I feel myself unable to get out of the carriage . " Immediately on the stone being raised to a considerable height , and then lowered to the place for its reception , Sir AV . B . Cooke offered up

a prayer . The Rev . J . G . FARDELL then offered up the following prayer : — " O Almighty God and Supreme Architect of the Universe , we most humbly beseech Thee to pour Thine abundant blessing upon all those who may assemble in the building about to be erected over the stone we are now laying , and grant that they may conduct all their dealings with honesty of purpose and uprightness of mind ; and grant also that we who are assembled on this happy occasionwhether the AVorshiful Master or

, p Brethren of the Craft of Freemasons , whether the worthy Vicar or clergy around him , whether the corporation or magistrates of the town or neighbourhood , or whether tradespeople or inhabitants of the town , may all receive Thy heavenly benediction , and finally come to that building which Thou hast prepared for all who love Thee—a building not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . Grant this through Jesus Christ . "

Several cheers were then given for Sir AA'illiam and Lad y Cooke , and the proceedings terminated a little before one o ' clock . The Brethren of the Britannia Loilge of Freemasons , of Sheffield , dined together with some of the Brethren of St . George ' s Lodge . Bro . AVheeler , the AV . M . of the Britannia Lodge , ably occupied the presidential chair , and was well supported by Bro . Eadon , S . AV ., as his vice . The routine of loyal toasts was given , together with the healths

of the Grand and Deputy Grand Masters of England , the Right Hon . the Earls of Zetland and Yarborough , and the usual Masonic sentiments . Several excellent songs were sung by Brothers Ibbotson and Young ; and the evening was passed in that excellent feeling and harmony which ever attend the meetings of the Craft . It is intended that the compliment paid by the Britannia Lodge on the present occasion , will be reciprocated by the Brethren of St . George ' s Lotlge , on the laying of the foundation-stone of the viaduct or bridge over the AVicker , Sheffield , by the Manchester , Sheffield , and Lincolnshire Railway Company .
