most favourable circumstances . In drinking Sir Charles ' s health , we feel we are paying but a just tribute to those valuable qualities we most prize in an English gentleman , in an active and intelligent public man , and which we , as Masons , sum up in the expressive term of " perfect ashlar . " ( Loud cheers . ) ¦ " The health of the D . Prov . G . M . Bro . Augustus Smith" was then proposed , in very eulogistic terms , by the Prov . G . Treas . Bro . Eichard Pearce , and the

toast was most heartily received and welcomed by the Brethren , and appropriately acknowledged by the D . Prov . G . M ., who concluded by saying , "It has been well observed , that there is scarcely an instance of a distinguished man , but that his greatness was chiefly to be traced to the high qualities and superior intellectual powers of the mother ; and each in our own individual instance , if we can carry back our recollections to the years of childhood and youth , will be disposed to attribute any virtues we possess , any sound principles of rectitude and religion that influence our actions , to what was implanted in our minds by the earnest ,

anxious , and pure instructions of maternal solicitude . Whatever then may be the distinctions the sons of England have achieved in the various pursuits of life , whether in the cause of religion , industry , or glory , it is to the mothers of England ' s sons it is due that their character has shown so bright throughout the world , and in that conviction I call upon you to drink with heart and soul , The Health of our Country women . '" ( Drunk with loud cheering . ) The toast was appropriately responded to , on behalf of the ladies , by the Prov . G . Steward , Bro . T . Ellis , and the P . Prov . G . S . W ., Bro . T . H . Edwards , of Helston .

The ladies then retired , and the Lodge was close tyled , after which the D . Prov . G . M . gave "The Health of the Immediate D . Prov . G . M . Bro . Ellis , " in appropriate and Masonic terms , which toast was suitably acknowledged . The healths of the Wardens , Bros . Hender John Moles worth St . Aubyn as S . W ., and E . S . Polkiughorne as J . W ., were then given , and appropriately responded to . In the ie

course of the evening other toasts were proposed , and amongst them The Prov . G . Chaplain , " with thanks to him for the very admirable sermon he had that morning delivered to the Brethren , and with a wish that he would allow the discourse to be printed and circulated amongst them . We hear that he has since acceded to this request , and that the sermon will be printed for the use of the Brethren . The healths of the different Prov . Officers were given ; and the Prov .

G . Keg ., Bro . E . T . Canyon , acknowledged the toast in suitable terms , as a young Mason . The healths of the P . Prov . G . Officers were proposed , as also those of the Mayor and Town Council of Helston ; and the toast was very properly acknowledged by the P . Prov . G . S . W ., Bro . T . H . Edwards , as Mayor of Helston , and as a Past Officer of the Province . Many otherMasonic toasts were given ; amongst them " The Health of the Prov . G . Dir . of Cer ., " with thanks to him for the admirable manner in which the procession and the other proceedings of the day under his direction had been carried out . The toast was acknowledged by Pro . Heard ,

who stated that he was perfectly willing to undertake the post of labour , and that whenever he was appointed to official duties he should always endeavour to discharge them to the satisfaction of the Brethren . Several other Masonic toasts were drunk , and the remainder of the evening was spent by the Brethren with all the harmony of true Masons , and subsequently they separated with mutual feelings of fraternal respect and esteem . In the course of the proceedings of the day , the D . Prov . G . M . Bro . John Ellis , of Falmouth , delivered an address , reviewing the present position of Masonry in the Province , somewhat in the following terms : —

My Brethren , — -We arc met to celebrate the fourth anniversary since the second jubilee of the ancient and honourable Fraternity of the county of Cornwall .
