Provincial Lodges.

Br . Colonel Vernon psoposed " The health of our gallant Allies , " and remarked that the Emperor of the French was a Mason . He expressed a hope that they should for a long series of years be bound in bonds of union with that most warlike and gallant nation , and that the recent visit of the Emperor and the Empress would serve to cement that union . After dilating on the indomitable courage of their noble ally , he begged them to pledge a bumper to him , and to express an earnest hope that the Great Architect of the Universe would long preserve a life which might truly be said

to be , under every circumstance , one of the most precious lives in Europe —( Loud cheers ) . Br . Mons . Baume responded to the toast , and remarked that it must be a proud reflection to both countries to see England and France taking part , side by side , in the war of civilization against barbarism . England was renowned as a commercial nation , but when the great principles of freedom were endangered , there was no nation who threw aside the scabbard more readily , or wielded the sword more nobly .

England and France were now united in that common object in protecting the weak against the strong , and to such an union Russia must succumb , for both countries were prepared to shed their best blood , and to spend their treasures , in defence of those principles of liberty upon which they had taken their stand , and were bent in carrying out . It was true that this must be attended by increased taxation , but he knew that neither the people of this country , nor of his own , would grudge what was necessary in order to uphold the liberties and secure the peace of Europe—( Much

cheering ) . Br . Randall proposed , in eloquent terms , " Success to the Masonic Charities , " and strongly urged the brethren to give the best practical illustration of Masonry by affording them all the support in their power . The brethren then withdrew to tea and coffee , which were served in the Council Chamber , after which the proceedings were brought to a close .
