A GRAND STEWARD . —We do not know who is the Editor of the Circulars of the Grand Lodge of England ; all we do know is , that those circulars arc often incorrect . The names of the Grand Stewards are sometimes called over , and this is termed presentation . The last actual presentation took place at the Grand Festival in 1833 , A FATHER . —We do not consider the concern safe—to say more might submit truth to an action for a libel . The proper name For the trash is " noli me tangere . " A . LEWIS . —The P . G . M . has not lately received any Masonic advices from his province . The report that a P . G . Lodge is actuallv about to be holden in New Eldorado , Sumatra , when a D .

Brother's Masonic it will be

authority . If * Lewis" will favour us by any intelligence acceptable . The R . W . Brother is not likely to depart very speedily for the seat of his Masonic jurisdiction ; A GOVKRNOR OF THE GIRLS * SCHOOL requires an impossibility . The Governor alluded to cannot restrain his feelings . A DUPE inquires' why certain names have been ivithdrawn ?—we cannot answer . PILGRIM . —Our best thanks are due for continued kindness and confidence . Bno . TAIT ' obliging letter came too late . ( March 170 MASONICUS . —Why complain ?—you were warned by our opinion . A SimscRinER—Take a casein point . —A charge was brought for having acted UN > Masnnically at the last Lodge ; votes were equal > that of the Master decided against the accused . The charge certainly was vague—the Board decided in favour of the Lodge . Our opinion is ,

that such cases should not be made public ; they serve to bring the Order into contempt . The charge stated by a Subscriber is altogether vague and unsatisfactory . AN OLD MASON . —The Grand Master has no constitutional power to disburse the funds of the Grand Lodge . Bao . HEWITT , — We regret that awful word " private , " which prevents our doing justice to some excellent remarks . A MASON IN HEART is surprised at our remarks on a Brother , in our extra-Iimitesof Dec-, 1837 * All we can say is , that at the time , we did not sufficiently know the party . HINT . —The " Britannic , 38 , " was never posted , neither the "Alpha" as such , The first , once a brilliant scene of glory untarnished , became silent as the tomb for very many years . From respect to the memory of the late beloved Marquis of Hastings , it was thought to have

hermetically sealed its transactions , not having met since that noble Brother's departure for India in 1813 . Its sanctuary , however , has lately been surrendered to new rulers .
