THE BANQUET.
The banquet in honour of t he installation was at the Free-

:Most Worshipful Gmnd Master, presided, on his right,
being the Duke of Guinan:at, and on the left Lord
Shelmersdale, the Mindy Grand blaster.

Duke of Manchester proposed the health of the "Princess
of Wales and the reat of the Royal Family."

I hope that those of the royal fa:uily who are following
their ancestors, including the Most Worshipful Grand
Muster and anyself—(prolonged cbeering)—l hope that
we shall prove ourmlves no less worthy members of the
I craft than the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Kent—
(cheers). I mu sum that, ii the Mot Worshipful Grand

Brethren. I assure you on all es-futons I shall do my

down, brethren. I have a toast to propose, which I feel
sore you will all drink with cordiality, and which to me
is a specially gratifying toast—that is the illustrious
brother the King of Sweden and Norway—(applause). It
affords me especial pleasure to propose thin toast, as seven
years ago I became a noonber of this craft, iuititated by
the late King, the brother of the present one. Thereby I
consider I have a more special interest in Sweden : and I
hope that the Grand Lodges of Sweden and of England
now always he hound together in good will and fraternal
feeling. Our illustrious brother the King has been espe-
cially pleased to soul over five distinguished brethren to
take part in my installation—(applause). Therefore it
affords me special gratification to drink to the health of
one who I know is such a keen Freemason at heart, and
so keen an Englishman that he has frequently visited our
shores. Moat cordially and heartily do I call upon You,
brethren, to drink to "The health of our illustrious
brother the Most Worshipful tfrand Master of Sweden, his
Majesty the King of Sweden and Notary."

Lord SKEEMERSDALK, in replying, remarked, I am sure
you will feel it is alinoet presumptuous in me to say any-
thing.on lehalf of the provincial grand officers, being such
a junior ofiicer myself ; but perhaps I may do so having the
honour of holding the rank of Grand Master in one of the
largest provinces in the country—(hear, bear). lam sure
all the provincial grand officers will, equally with myself,

highness placed in the position he now occupies—(cheen),

The Titers says :—" The Prince of Wales, in accepting
the office of Grand Master. has proclaimed to all the world
that Froemasoun'. at least in England. is a perfectly
innocuous, loyal. and virtuous associati in, and the ' craft.'
In welcoming him, have similarly proclaimed their
possession of these qu dities. It is strange that the lesson
of such demonstrations should he so obstinately overlooked,
not merely by the Roman Catholic Church, but even by
some foreign Governments and I.e.eislatures. Of all the
enterprises on which legislatie e and administrative time
can be wasted, the most useless, except in exceptional
emergencies, is that of attacking secret associations. The
only way to counterbalance them is to open to men in the
ordinary institutions of the country the means of obtain-
ing all the 'Political objects they can reasonably desire, and
all minor associations will then become, like the Free-
masons in England, inure organisations for the cultivation
of mutual goal feeling and charity. It is quite possible
that ler the repression of past tyranny Freemasonry
was really ascii on the continent as a means of revolt'.
tionary agitation. Men were in want of some organised
means of mutual action, and the first sectet society at
hand was employed for their purposes. In this country
there has been no occasion for any such agencv, and the
result is seen in the ceremony of Wednesday. The society
against which the Pope fulminate, all the terrors of this
world and the next for its supposed hostility to everthing
loyal and sacred meets in innocuous splendour in a great
music hall, welcomes with enthusiasm the Heir to the
throne, and makes solemn protestation of its ',Tab
religious, and charitable principles. Does not such an
example say more fur tolerance than for excommunica-
tion!'
The Daily Neter says :--The reason why men will be
found to devote their lives to ceremonies and antiquities
is different, but does not seem far to seek. There is in
sonic minds an innate love of symbolism for its own sake.
To speak of a virtue in plait' English is a rude, common-
place, and hontespun method. To symbolise it by a
dower, a gem, a ceremony, or a building, is to increase to
them its influence :mil power. Such 'nen, in different
age*, have symbolised everything. All ancient worships
are full of things which hava a hidden meaning to those
who know how to read them. The hieroglyphics *nil
uarabari of Egypt, the gems 41 the Gnostics, the images
of the gals, all involved o..imie mighty allegory which
might have been toll in plain language and no one any
the worse. In the same way numbers, by those who
found out their arithmetica: power, were endowed with
an inner and spiritual meaning. Jewels possessed magic
properties depending on their symbolirvil significations ;
astronomy became astrology. There were believe,' to be
properties in nature the discovery of which, through the
symbolism which clothed everything in the Middle Ages,
would give immortality to the finder; and as everything
else had an allegorical meaning, what wonder if
architecture, which was surely, as proved by the glorious
cathedrals of Western Europe, the flower, essence, and
perfection of all science, became itself endowed with the
attributes of • grand symboli 'al teaching? The pursuit
of 'Dubois and allegories is an endless one. It is not
unprofitable, because it perpetually leads to discoveries
both unexpected and interesting, and brancht• off iu an
infinite number of directions; and it is a pursuit which
always finds votaries. We do not Kay that all the
thousands who yesterday saluted the Prince of Wales are
ardent followers of symbolism ; but we venture to suggest
that the known symbolical aspect of Freemasonry has a
greater attractive power than the possession of its pass-
words It is something, to many men, to have the truth
presented to them, not in her ancient undraped form—
itself a symbol—but dressed out in the trappings beneath
which her features are only discernible by those who know
how rightly to seek.
The Standard says : —Although the ceremony was strictly
private, and in no degree partook of any political signifi-
cance, the unusual degree of éclat which it has necessarily
received front the rank of those engaged in it, cannot but
attract towards it a good deal of public interest. In this
Interest Freemasonry itself, as an institution,will naturally
be included. What is this society which alone among
secret societies has flourished in all countries and among
all conditions of men, preserving its secret, sail though
repeatedly persecuted. ridiculed, and fulminated against,
continuing to maintain its existence not only without any
diminution of prestige, but apparently in greater vigour
than ever, in spite of sarcasms, scandals, and anathemas?
There 'mutt he some mystenousynnciple at vitality In an
order which. perpetually &Asada', and never caring to
defend itself, is yet unshaken in its foundations. Even
the unitiated must be awed into something like respect for
an institution which apparently defies all the corruptions
of time, and is proof against the inroads of the sceptical
and levelling spirit of the age. The most lenient of its
critics pronounce it to be an anachronism, and yet we have
it rearing Its head in the Albert Hall, and Royalty claim-
ing to have a share in its direction. To-day it is most
fashiimable of orders, as it was in the slays of the widow's
son Hiram of Tyre, chief builder of the Temple. If we
may accept the traditions if the society itself, and no tra-
ditions are 1111 l re uniform, moor, coherent, or more binding
upon those who receive them, Freemasonry dates from the
era of the first builder upon earth, even if it does not go
hack further than that, to the great author of the human
race himself. Just as surely as that Adiun was "the first
gentleman who wore coat-anuour," according to Sylvanite
Morgan. in his Book of Heraldry, is it testified that he was
the first Mason. By the sons of Lainech the secrets were
engraved on stone pillars, so that they might outlast the
Flood. From them the Craft was duly transmitted through
Abraham to Solomon, who is supposed to have been the
first who associated "slaculative" with "operative"
Masonry. However this may he, and every one is free, in
an unbelieving age, to iloubt the fact, what is certain is
that the 3fasonic signs and emblems are to lie found in the
stones among the ruins of Baalbec, that they have been
tra..e.l in the buildings of the pre-Brahminical period in
India, and among the ISruidinal remains in England and
In Brittany.
The „Weans, says :—Even ladies, who look upon the
meetings of the Order with inquisitite eyes, and complain
that they are rigorously excluded from participation in
ceremonies which they affect to despise, have no need to
ensconce themselves in clock-cases and obtain stir-
tuptitious ailiniaion to lodges to find out that the conduct
of Masons is such as to inspire confidence in them as
honourable, benevolent, hospitable men. They know that
widows and orphans are canal for in their hours of bereave-
Meta .U.l sorrow; that w:csotne aid is given with unstint-
ing hands to sick and infirm brethren, and that exalted
principles which find their highest form ef expression in
Christianity, are recognised as the only basis whsreon the
perstructure of the Order can safely rest.
The Eck. says: -We can sincerely congratulate the
estimable and most benevolent FreClll2,5OllA of England In
having obtained for their Grand Master a Prince who will,
no doubt, carry their Order to the highest pitch of
peosperity it has yet Attaimal. For its promotion of
kindly social feelings by free and 6leasaut intercourse,
and for very well-dire-etch and unostantatious charities,
the f Prder has undoubtedly chusimums se the good will of the
community ; and we have only, in conclusion. to hope
that the Craft and its new Grand Master may tlouriah
long in the land, and build up, if tat new cathedrals and
bullies's. stone and brick, yet other, if immaterial memo-
rials, equally durable and beneficent.

ISA'. A. (Portland) attended Divine service at St. George's
church, Reforne. They were led by Capt. Eliot awl Lieut.
Andrews, and the band played them to church, and also
on coming out.
Tits Scarticr. gummiesc about which, in a certain
mrtrter. such a silly fuss is being got up for St. John's,
Weymouth, is said to be in abeyance in Portland. The
Rector is in ;secession of surplices for a choir, Co wo are
told ; but the boys an: not forthcoming. Meantime it is
to be supposed that the energies of the friends will be
devoted to the repair of the organ.
TIIE ENTRANCE FROM THE It til.wAT STATION.— We are
happy to note that certain building operations are being
I.IVILIPVII, the road front the railway station to Fortune's
Well haa coasted to be a stone-and- rtar yard, and that
the boat and other abstractions have been cleared away.
(hilly enough, not many minutes after this clearance was
nutlet...l, a boy was seen mixing mortar not for from the
Local 'Ward office itself, and the lad had actually selected
the public foot-path for his operations. Verily they do
strange things in Portland.
Tatty STEAMitos.T.— It is claimed for Mr. Thozeta.st'elston
of Portland, that lie has constructed one of the smallest
steamers on this coast. She is a galley IC feet long, nameal
the Surprise, and is propelled by an engine and screw.
Iler trial trip was made on Monday evening. when, work-
ing with 3011 es of steam to the inch, she attainot a Of eel
of S knots an hour, and she ran be driven faster than that.
Mr. Colston also claims to have made an improvement in
the machinery, whereby he can reverse the engine* without
stepping the boat.
THE COMPENSATION MQNET ACTION.—SOUIC disappoint-
ment has been expressed to 11A that in the late action
, v. Pearce, the maestion as to the title of tau inhabitants
' tea share of the tn y was not fully tried. It is also
stated that the register of tenants is in an unsatisfactory
state, teeny who have ceased to be tenants yet remai ll ill g
cut on the reeve-pole, while those to whom they have
parted with their property awl who are the aetwel tenants,
not being on the pole. This is of course the business of
the latter to make their clainis midget their rights.
Faitear. or AN OROAN.—It 15 well-known that St.
George's church is in some pests rather damp. It seems
that the connecting wires of the organ have beconie
rusted, and Sunday evening on the tune .if the that by MA
being played, some of the notes began to "cipher." The
organist persevered till the tune was finished ; but did
not ar,nmPen, the singing, on that vocal fauna alone was
employed. The next question is—How to raise funds for
the repair of the organ I But we are sure the ex.-Intent
and beloved Rector will discover a plan.
Tag Cssro: Roan Clormratar.—During the winter the
parsons who attended funerals in this cemetery were often
annoyed by the streams of water coming from the
surface drainage of the road. and pouring into the
Cemetery. The matter was, at a late Board meeting,
brought before the local authorities, who deciden to place
a stash before the entrance, in order to turn the water in a
different direction. The work has now been executed
under the personal superintendence of rapt. A. Scriven,
who, though we miss him at the Board anectingii, SCOIIII

anything is to be thoroughly accomplished, Capt. Scriveo
Is the man to see to it, for he is not above dirorting and
even showing "the way it's done."
DEATH Or • VERT tn.D INUAUITANT.—On Monday last
• died Mr. Janki M•hoy, • very old inhabitant, lie was
for many years foreman at the court beet jury. He was
well enough last week to attend service twiee on Sunder,
but on Tuesday he caught caol.l on a visit to 'Weymouth.
Next day he was poorly ; but he did not think there was
any danger. As he got worse, a niedieal gentleman was
callol in, and he was found to be suffering from bronchitis.
He gradually got worse, and at five oat Monday tweeting be
died, at the remarkalne age of tit years. It is characteristic
of the late Mr. Mousy that on the Saturday evening when
the doctor was celled in and advised his family to get hint
to lASI WI soon as possible, 11(r. Malay replied that he
should not go before his usual time, nine delork. His
daus;later, now Mrs 1. G. Lano, sat up with him 011 Sun-
day night, and was present when the last change was

might get into his debt, be seldom or never I
was known to sue them. His habits were maple, his
character unassuming, and his appearance humble, while
we can speak personally of his pleasant manner, and
readiness to oblage. Of course he was much respected ; he
was for many year, chairman of the Court Lect jury, also
of the Portland Dispensary, and of the Goal awl Blanket
Club., and of course served his teran as reeve. His funeral
is to take place on Friday, the remains of deceased being
deposited in a polished oak coffin, an.l the undertaker is
Mr. John Slouches Stone. IMubtle,s there will be a large
assembly of the principal inhabitants, to show the last
tribute of respect to SO POSPCCUSI an inhabit4Mt, auu
who so far passed the usual age of man.

The public of Weymouth unmistakably displayed their
taste on Tuesday evening last, when the sixth grand con-
cert of the Vocal Association Was given at the Royal
Hotel Assembly Rooms. However Weyinouthilits may
he abused Mr net appreciating Italian songs, there can be
no doubt that when a good enterminment with first-class
music and intelligible words is provided, and properly
brought to their knowledge, the general love for music
will dearly show itself. of course the influence of local
musicians much increases the interest, for the fact that
such and such friends are going M sing or play brings the
concert close home awl makes it talked about in the family
circle. There seem to he three things required for a suc-
cessful concert—really good music, words that one can
really understand, and full advertising that it may he
widely and thoroughly known. Without the two latter
it is of little use that the unnicians be most talented,
that the music itself Isv really high class; unless the
matter be brought home to the heart, the public, though
logically shown that it ought to patronise. is

mysteries of Freemasonry," and as in Dorchester local
interest attaches to the story, we re-produce its salient
points.
The lion. Eliza, second daughter of Arthur St- Leger,
first Viscount Doneraile, and Eliza Hayes, daughter of
John Hayes, of Winchelsea, Sussex, Esquire, was born in
111.4 and she is dmeribed in this memoir as "a woman
whose life VMS a model of virtue, sweetened and adorned
by all the amiable qualities that grace and dignify the
female character. I,nl Doneraile, who WAS a very

that previous to the initiation of a gentleman to the first
degree of masonry, Mrs. Aldworth, who Was then a young

The section of the Act of Parliament mid the Bends
might excuse persons on proof of inabilite to
pay the
rates • they could CACIIBO paupers: but there was no
proof that the trustees were personally unable to PAY. The
Poor Mouse itself was reted, and pays rates and taxes. and
therefore they slid not think they had power to excuse the .
rates. There was power to excuse Literare and Scientific
Institutions ; but this did not apply to such institutions as
thus Hospital and the Eye Infirm .
ary. However : ..hi they
mitht regret it, and however it might be advisable 41 do
it, 68 these institutions wereof the greatest tereiiv in often
preventing poor people from coining on the parish. they
had no power, and the institutions must pay the rates.
