numerical strength he could not but regret the dearth of " old familiar faces ; " in fact , but one remained of the many he ( Br .

In the course of the evening £ 5 5 s . were subscribed to assist the Widow of the late Br . Bamstaffi and it was announced that she would become a candidate for the benefits of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution , at the next vacancy . PHCENIX LODGE , ( NO . 202 ) . —The members of this very thriving Lodge held its

last meeting for the season on Saturday , May 12 th , the AV . M . Br . Webber presiding . Br . Maslin having been raised to the third degree , the W . M . turning towards Br . Warren , P . M ., said that he was about to resign his office to the W . M . elect , but before doing so he had the gratification of presenting him ( Br . Warren ) , a P . M . ' s jewel from the members of the Lodge as a testimony of the respect held for him , —the exertions he had made two years since for the resuscitation of the Lodge—his general attention to the duties of Freemasonry—and the courteous and successful manner in

which he had conducted the Lodge during his year of office . In presenting him with that jewel he ( the W . M . ) trusted he would long be spared to wear it , and that they might ever have the pleasure of his company and assistance in the Lodge . Br . Warren , on receiving the jewel , which is very handsome , and does great credit to the manufacturer , Br . Thearle , thanked the AV . M . for his kind expressions , and assured the Brethren that he received that mark of their favour with deep gratitude , and though nothing could add to the pleasure and gratification he had at all times felt at being amongst them , it would be an additional incentive to induce him to do the utmost in Ms power to promote the prosperity of the Lodge . From the very moment he had determined in conjunction with the AV . M ., Br . Harrison , S . W ., and other friends to

endeavour to resuscitate the Lodge , he had always felt the deepest interest m its prosperity , and he could assure the brethren it would be his aim to endeavour to secure a continuance of their good opinion , trusting that he might continue a member of the Lodge so long as the G . A . U . gave him strength and means to continue in Freemasonry . The jewel bears the following inscription : " Presented to Br . Henry George Warren , P . M ., by the members of the Phcenix Lodge , No . 202 , in acknowr ledgment of his services as AV . M ., on the resuscitation of the Lodge , A . D . 1853-4 . "

After the presentation of the jewel , the W . M . resigned the chair to Br . Warren , who proceeded to instal the W . M . elect , Br . Charles Russell Harrison into the chair for the ensuing year .

Lewis Houghton , Treas . ; Br . Sharman , S . D . ; Br . Capt . Creaton , J . D . ; Br . Dumpby , J . G ., and Br . AA illiams , D . C . At the conclusion of the masonic business , the Brethren , to the number of thirty , adjourned to a very elegant

Genge , Br . Lawler , Br . Donald King , Br . Geo . Perren , Br . Taylor , Br . Holmes , and Br . Ford . The last named Br . is certainly one ofif not the very best comic singer of

, the day , and his "Joe in the Copper" convulsed the Brethren with laughter .
