DEAR SIR AXD BROTHER , —On the 1-lfch of July , . 1 SG 6 , you inserted a letter of mine relative to the . Boys' School , iu which some severe strictures were made on Mr . Russellthe late head master . I have

, always held the opinion that no man should hesitate to acknowledge he is wiser to-day than he was yester-. day ; in this case I freely and unreservedly retract all expressions in that letter in any way disparaging to Mr . Russell , and trust he has suffered no loss or inconvenience therefrom .

Yours fraternally , E . FARTHING . OUR BELGIAN VISITORS . ¦ SO THE IDITOR OF THE . FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR , DEAR SIR AKD BROTHER—Before next

T sincerel y hope that the Bel gian Freemasons will ¦ not have it to say that their brethren of the Craft

have been lukewarm iu the midst of the enthusiasm of their fellow-couutrymen , or that they have been at all wanting in their exertions to do them honour . Yours fraternally , L'USIOH FAIT IA FORCE . London , July 5 th , 1 S 67 .
