From the " Canadian Masonic Pioneer . "

WAKED UP AT LAST . —We learn with pleasure that a considerable cargo of Grand Lodge certificates from England have recently arrived in this city for brethren in Canada . Some of these bad been ordered and paid for a long time since . One , for our old friend XV . Bro . Noxen , now of New York , eighteen years ago . It is gratifying to find that the somnambulists of the Grand Secretary ' s Office are being aroused from their slumbers . A few more such movements as that which has taken place in Canada might perhaps heep them

awake . GRAND LODGE OF OREGON . —This Grand Lodge has , in the handsomest manner , recognized and received into fraternal fellowship her youthful sister , the Grand Lodge of Canada . New LODGE IN QUEBEC . —We understand that a petition has been received by the R W . Deputy Grand Master for a warrant to constitute a new Lodge in Quebec , under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Canada , to be called " La Lege Champlain , " and that there is no doubt the prayer of the petition will be granted .

GRAND LODGE OP KENTUCKY . —We learn with pleasure that the Grand Lodge of Kentucky , at its last Communication , recognized the Grand Lodge of Canada as a legal and regular body of Masons , cordially extending the right hand of fellowship to the brethren under its jurisdiction , and warmly welcoming it into the great family of Masonic Grand Lodges . The following Grand Lodges are in affiliation or correspondence

with the new " Grand Lodge of Canada , " viz . .- —The Grand Lodges of Ireland , Michigan , New Hampshire , South Carolina , Louisiana , Kentucky , Alabama , Vermont , Indiana , Iowa , Florida , Connecticut , and Oregon . We have received the two first numbers of a spirited masonic journal , published at Bath , England , entitled The Observer , and greet its appearance right heartily . We trust it will be " the observed of all-observers , " and will be to a great extent the means of infusing among our English brethren a portion of that spirit which seems to prevade its columns . We shall forward to the publisher the Pioneer and shall be glad to receive the Observer in exchange .

MASONRY IN HANOVER . —We announced that the King of Hanover had joined a Lodge , and had accepted the title of Protector and Grand Master of all the Lodges in his Kingdom . It seems that a resolution , agreed to on that occasion , has excited a certain degree of discontent in Germany . According to the principle embodied in several of the statutes , Masonry becomes an exclusively Christian institution , and no one professing the Jewish religion can in future lie admitted into any Lodge in Hanover . This decision has produced a great sensation in the other Lodges of Germany ; and we understand that the " Grand Orient" ( of Belgium ) will shortly issue an energetic protest against the principle of exclusion on account of religion or difference of creed , recognized in the new Masonic statutes of the kingdom of Hanover . — Journal de Liege .

A Sermon , preached at St . Mary Tower , Ipswich , on Sunday evening , Dec . 7 th , 1856 . on occasion of the death of Sir Edward S . Gooch , Bart ., 31 . P ., Provincial Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons for Suffolk , by Ersiiite Nettle , 31 . A ., Vicar of Exiling , and Provincial Grand Chaplain . We call the attention of our readers to this Sermon on the death of

a distinguished Brother , whoso demise has been a severe loss to the Province over which he so ably presided . In all the relations of life Sir Edward was deeply beloved for his warm and affectionate nature ; and in his attachment to Masonry , and faithful discharge of his duties as P . G . M ., ho seta worthy example to the Craft . The preacher has , in his able portraiture of his friend , performed a " labour of love , " sotting forth his virtues in terms of warm and affectionate respect . Whether as landlord , Member of Parliament , or P , G . M . of his Province , his source of action was deeply seated inan unaffected but earnest piety .
