Provincial Lodges.

Mr . Rolls paid a brief tribute to both arms of the sendee in proposing the " Army and Navy , " which was duly honoured . Major Maclurcan responded on behalf of the army , and Mr . Lyne for the naAry , observing that the navy had not had so great a share in actual warfare , because Russia had not dared to attack us at sea . The navy , however , had effectually protected our homes aud our commerce , both of wliich were among its great duties . ( Cheers . ) Capt . Tynte gave the health of " The Bishop and Clergy of the diocese of

Llandaff . " ( Cheers . ) The Rev . G . Roberts rose to respond , as he was sorry that there was not one clergyman of the diocese present . The Rev . Mr . Williams , curate of St . Paul's , said there Avas one present , ancl therefore Mr . Roberts gladly gave way . Mr . Williams said he was very happy to find himself in the position he did that day , and hoped that before many months had elapsed they would have many clergymen of the diocese enrolled as Masons

( Applause . ) Mr . Roberts said he hoped there never would be an occasion of a Masonic gathering in the diocese , but that the clergy of the diocese would be represented . ( Applause . ) The Chairman then gaA'e " The Grand Master of England , the Earl of Zetland . ' ( Cheers . ) The Chairman followed that by " The Deputy Grand Master of England , the Earl of Yarborongh . " ( Cheers . )

Col . Bnrlton spoke of the great cordiality with which he had been greeted by Masons at all times ancl in all places , and more especially by the Scotch and Irish . He had occupied the jiost of P . G . M . at Bengal , and had had forty years' experience in Lodge , cantonment and camp , during wliich time ho had been associated with their Scotch and Irish brethren . He therefore gave them the " G . M . ' s of Ireland and Scotland , the Dukes of Leinster and Athol . " ( Cheers . ) Br . Bowles then rose , and said , he thought that his first duty was , as he believed , that with the exception of the Right Worshipful the G . M . of this Province , he was

the senior member of the Grand Lodge of England , to return thanks for the toast of his noble friends , Lord Zetland ancl Lord Yarborongh . His next duty was one vrhich he discharged with very great pleasure . Both gratitude and inclination prompted him so to do—it was to return his best thanks to the brethren of the Monmouthshire , and more especially the brethren of tho Silurian Lodge , for the very cordial reception with which they had been pleased to honour him . His flights of eloquence were , lie thought , A'ery much like those of the goose—no sooner was he upon the wing than he was down again . ( Laughter . ) But there was something in the very interesting proceedings of that day which seemed to generate an influence like the magnetic power imparted to iron , giving to the tongue faculties of utterance ,

and the mind properties and powers which they possessed not before . Their social Masonic reunions , where their banquets were crowned with sparkling wine , aud fragrant with the delicacies of other climes , tended to smooth the rough path of existence , inasmuch as they afforded them many opportunities of cultivating those fraternal attachments wliich were so delightful in themselves , and often so pure and lasting as to afford comfort and support in the hour of death . ( Hear , hear . ) But they had met for a far nobler purpose—they had met to assist in laying the foundation

tone of a building to be dedicated to the cultivation of mora ! , religious , and intellectual Masonry . His honourable friend , the Right Worshipful the P . G . M ., had laid the chief corner stone of a temple Avhich was to be erected , and which would be set apart for the cultivation of the intellect and for the promotion of charity .- a temple where they would meet to breathe the spirit of liberality ; where they would learn to reverence the rights of conscience ; where they would , he hoped , attend to promote human progressand where they would also seekandhe trustedreceive

, , , , "the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace ; " and where also they would have filial communion with tho " High and Holy One that inhabiteth eternity . " While others sought to shut up God in creeds and denominations ; while they sought to fetter man in tho chains of uncharitableness , ancl intolerance , and persecution , they would in that new Lodge be bound together , not by a bond of creeds , but by the bond
