Provincial.

Providence , he had been sustained through it , and he now appeared among them in renewed health . He trusted that Masonry might be more largely diffused in the land , feeling assured that it would tend to promote general hajipiuess and prosperity . The CHAIRMAN having called on the company to fill bumpers , proposed , in a most eloquent speech , the health of " The Ladies , " without whose presence the Annual Meetings would be of no avail

, and without whom , it was of no use denying it , Masonic Festivals woulcHose their greatest charm ; to their jn-esence they were indebted for this evening ' s delights . He coulcl ' not expect one of them to acknowledge this toast , but he would call on a bachelor , Bro . Thomas Weller , to respond to it . Mr . AVELLER hacl hoped that the mantle of honour might have descended on the shoulders of a member of the Masonic

Orderfeel-, ing confident that it imparted so much that was excellent , as to better qualify a member of the Craft to do justice to the toast . The Masonic Order boasted , and deservedly so , of its charities , they were large and extended , and in them he was certain the ladies fully sympathised ; but there was one part of the Masonry in which that

fair community did not at all participate . The Craft prided itself on its antiquity , and he must say on that point he could not discover any reciprocity whatever . AVere all the ladies' " most sweet voices " blended in one , lie believed thus it would respond—that they had found attentive and gallant partners in the ball-room—every comfort and luxury at the supper-table from their excellent Chairman , and that they thanked the gentlemen present , and especially the Masons , for

jiassing a most delightful evening . Bro . GEORGE PRICE said , that having the Chairman ' s permission to jiropose a toast , he requested them , in bumper glasses , to drink the healths of the Stewards , "Brs . Alexander Dobie and Evelyn . " Bro . Dobie had been a warm supporter of the ball from its ' first establishment to the present moment ; he not only attended himself , but he brought with him his excellent ladancl familyand the

y , Brethren felt extremely obliged to him for his kindness upon this and many past occasions . To Bro . Evelyn their best thanks were also due for the kind interest he manifested in the ball . On the last occasion he was prevented attending by his Parlimentary duties ; on the jiresent they -were more fortunate in having the pleasure of his company , ancl they woulcl join him in giving Bro . Evelyn a hearty welcome .

Bro . DOBIE , after a few graceful words of acknowledgment on his own behalf , called on his Deputy ( Bro . Evelyn ) , as ' being more accustomed to public speaking , to respond to the toast . Bro . EVELYN said , that the Chairman erred in sujsposing that he was more accustomed to public speaking ; his duties in Parliament were of a rougher character than that of addressing so fair an assemblage as the present . It had been alreadadvanced ba

y y former speaker that the Masons were distinguished for their gallantry ; he need not , therefore , enlarge on that topic . He could assure the conipany that so far from feeling he had conferred any honour by his attendance lhat evening , he felt that he hacl been personally honoured by the invitation , and lie mi ght say that he had found a really selfish pleasure in his attendance . He woulcl not ' detain the company any longer , because he was sure that they would all prefer
