Rules and Regulations of the North Munster Provincial Grand Lodge . By Bro . Michael Furnell . Goggin , Limerick . Our indefatigable Brother Furnell must have taken out a patent for " Masonic inspiration .

Positive Rum the result of Public Service . —Clarke and Co . This is an appeal to the Right Hon . Lord John Russell , M .

The public press , and more especially such portion of that great moral engine that is devoted to church affairs , have spoken out in favour of Mr .

New Curiosities of Literature and Book of the Months . By George Soane , R . A . E . Churton . There is unquestionable merit in this work , yet as a contrast there is an evident want of temper that detracts from its character as a journal , which should conceal its evil thoughts even for its own sake . The story goes'that the viper gnawed the file—cui bono ; Mr . Soane attacks Freemasonry , at the same time most clearly proving his entire ignorance of
the Order ; he may for that reason , therefore , freely be forgiven . He says he has proofs at hand—but why not give them ? He should copy K-ldssj who says , "here are my evidences ; if any one Wishes to upset them , let him produce equally authentic proofs . " AVill Mr . Soane accept the challenge ?
