FREEMASON RY•

Av.
A Provincial Grand Lodge of Free and accepted
Masons was held in the Doric Lodge at Grantham,
on Thursday last. Present the Rev. G. Oliver, D.D.,
Deputy Provincial Grand Master, when the Provincial
Grand Officers for Lincolnshire were appointed ; Sir
E. Ff. Bromhead, Bart., P. G. Senior' Warden ; Bro-
ther J. Wood, P. G. Junior Warden, &c.
The brethren proceeded to Church, where a truly
boautiful and impressive sermon was delivered by the
Rev. G. Oliver, D.P.G.M., who eloquently enlarged
on the antiquity and excellence of the order, the faith-
ful practice of the precepts of which is- calculated to
advance and improve Masons in every moral and social
virtue. We have much pleasure in adding that the
Rev. Doctor's excellent and interesting sermon will at
the earnest desire of the brethren be printed.
Divine Service concluded, the brethren returned to the
Lodge, and the masonic business of the province was
transacted, a most impressive charge being delivered by
the D. P. G. M. ; thanks were voted to the Rev. W.
Potchett, for the use of the church ; to the Rev. Mr.
Crick, for reading prayers ; to Dr. Oliver, for his ad-
mirable sermon ; to the Mayor and Council of Gran-
tham, for the use of the Town Hall ; to Brother Dixon,
for the musical services of the day ; to the W. M. and
Brothers of the Doric Lodge for their arrangements for
the meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge ; and to
Brother. Crucefix, M.D.I Past Grand Deacon, of Lon-
don, for his clear and very satisfactory explanations re-
lative to the Aged and Decayed Freemasons' Charity.
The Lodge being duly closed, the brethren proceeded
in masonic costume to the Town Hall, where a sump-

tuous dinner was provided : the chair was taken by the
D. P. G. M., supported on his right by Dr. Crucefix,
and on his left by Sir E. Ff. Bromhead, Bart. ; the
S. W. chair was filled by Brother Turner, whose re-
searches into the ancient history of the craft are well
known to and highly appreciated by every worthy
Mason. The cloth being drawn, the W. M. gave the
health of the Queen; who was the daughter of a Mason,
and who, as the Sovereign of this kingdom, was entitled
to the respect and support of all good Masons.—(Loud
applause.)
Brother Sir E. Ff. BROMHEAD, being anxious that
the health of the Queen should be drunk with masonic
honours, begged to give, as a toast, " The Queen and
the Craft," which was drunk with full masonic honours.
The next toast was his Royal Highness the Duke of
Sussex, Grand Master of the Order, who, it was for
some time hoped, would have been enabled to attend
this festival. It is almost unnecessary to add that this
toast was received with applause, and drunk with the
honours.
The W. M. then gave the health of the Right Hon.
C. T. D'Eyncourt, Deputy Provincial Gi:'and Master,
who had expressed much regret at being unavoidably
absent on that occasion.—(Drunk with the usual ho.

nours.)
Brother Sir. E. Ff. BROMHEAD next proposed the
health of Brother Oliver, the Deputy Provincial Grand
Master, of whom he spoke in terms of well-deserved eu-
logy, the justice of which was proved by the enthusiastic
applause with which the toast was received, and the en-
ergy with which the honours were given.
The D. P. G. M., in returning thanks, enlarged, in
glowing terms, on the beauties of masonry, and on the
►rand and sublime character of many of its mysteries,
In conclusion he gavethe health of a highly respected
Brother, Dr. Crucefix, who had honoured them with
his company, and whose unwearied exertions in the
cause of Charity were known, not only throughout
England, but in the East and West Indies, and indeed
wherever Masonry was practised. This toast was re-
ceived with warm applause, and was drunk with all the
honours.

Brother CRUCEFIX, in returning thanks, adverted to

the Asylum for aged and decayed Freemasons, and ex-
plained, not only the great benefits derivable therefrom,
but the excellent rules laid down for the management of

the institution. He earnestly appealed to those who
had the means to practise the masonic virtue of Cha-
rity, and thus to cheer the declining days of those bro-
thers who were suffering from adversity. The eloquent
'iddress of Brother Crucefix was listened to through-
out with the utmost interest, and at its conclusion the
brethren testified their approbation by warm applause.
Before sitting down, Brother Crucefix proposed the
health of the P. G. S. W. Sir E. Ff. Bromhead, which
was drunk with all the honours.
Sir E. Ff. BROMHEAD returned thanks, and proposed
the healths of the rest of the P. G. officers.
Brother CRUCEFIX then gave " The Ladies," a toast
which was always drunk by Masons with the utmost
enthusiasm. The worthy Brother adverted, in eloquent
terms, to the important duties of woman, in the succes-
sive characters of maid, wife, and mother, and on the
imperative duty of man to repay, by unremitting kind-
ness and protection, the obligations conferred in infancy,
in manhood, and in old age.
After this toast had been drunk, the W. M. quitted
the chair, and, accompanied by Sir E. Ff. Bromhead,
1)r. Crucefix, &c., left the room amidst enthusiastic
applause.—Boston Paper. •

METROPOLITAN IM•YROV

MENTS.

Tuesday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of the
parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, was held at theVestry-
room, adjoining the church, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the propriety of presenting a memo-
rial to the Lords Commissioners of the Woods and Fo-
rests, on the necessity of widening the approaches from
Leicester square to New-street, Covent-garden, and
from Long-acre to Bedford-street, Covent-garden.
After the perusal of the memorial, and some discus-
sion as to which was the most desirable line,

Mr. GOULD proposed for the consideration of the
meeting a resolution to the effect that as the improve-
ments contemplated by the Government were under-
stood to have for their object .to ease the two great
thoroughfares to the City, viz. the Strand and Holborn.
that the inhabitants of the district about to be improved
would suggest for the carrying out of such object the
line from Coventry-street through St Martin's-lane and
New-street, in conjunction with Long-acre, as the most
desirable and convenient. He considered that this
would be decidedly the host inasmuch as a tho-
roughfare would be created for th.: mark. 4 gardeners
to Covent-garden, as well as the convenience of having
a good carriage line to the City.
The resolution of Mr. Gould was put and agreed to.
Mr. PAYNE then moved that a memorial to the
Houses of Parliament, founded on the resolution, should
be drawn up ; and a Committee having been appointed
to carry the object of the meeting into effect, thanks
were voted to the Chairman and the meeting separated.

THE .NEW PosTAGE.-,-Increased facilities to
correspondence will certainly stimulate many adults to
self-education and self-improvement in writing ; and the
Smith and Dollar System Copy-hooks will furnish the
needful help. They are now published in six numbers,
price 6d. each, with 175 engravings, and effectual di:

rections for every lesson. Beginners will commence
with No. 1 ; improvers with No. 4. A single book, or
a set, may be ertlered of any bookseller, who, if in the
country, will obtain it with his next parcel from London,
the trade being supplied by Phelps and Son ; Simpkin
and Co. ; and Sherwo.,d and Co.
STATE OF TRADE.—The active demand for
goods .and yarn winch prevailed here last week has
died away, with the excitement at that time existing
in the cotton market at Liverpool; and both markets
have returned to the state of apathy and sluggishness
which preceded the late speculations. The business
done yesterday in yarn was very limited ; but the ad-
vance obtained at that time, on certain counts and de.
scriptions suitable to the East India and Mediterranean
markets, has been pretty generally supported. Of ma-
nufactured goods generally, and especially of printing
cloths, we cannot report quite so favourably ; the limited
business done has been at lower rates,-indeed, in many
cases, at the lowest rates previously paid. Two failures
have been announced, of spinning and manufacturing
firms in the country ; but they are not to any serious
extent.—Manchester Guardian.
NOVEL METHOD OF PUNISHING AN AP-
PRENTICE.—EIizabeth Herren, a young girl, an appren,
tice to Mrs. Board, of Christow, summoned her mistress
before the Magistrates of Exeter on Friday for ill-using
her, by having her on two or three occasions hung up to a
beam in the kitchen by her hands; the last time was about
three weeks since, and she was then suspended hearly half
an hour, allowing only her toes to touch the floor of the
kitchen ; the girl admitted that she had misbehaved herself
by neglecting to do her work, and sometimes she said
she had been found sleeping in the pigs' house. Mrs.
Board said than the punishment inflicted was with a
view to shame the girl of her bad practices, and that
the suspension only lasted a few minutes. The Chair-
man stated that the Bench disapproved of the mode
of punishment Mrs. Board had adopted, and told
her that there was always a remedy to be had
from that Bench for disobedient apprentices, and hoped
that in future she would bring any complaint before
them, at the same time they cautioned the girl as
to her future conduct, and assured her that if she was '
2theywould punish her in a manner
have a lasting effect on her. Mrs.

NATURAL CURIOS'
have been fa-

men of the fir tribejust dug from the Stevenson free-
stone quarry, on the estate of Mr. Warner, of Ardeer..
The trunk, stems, and leaves are as perfectly formed
and rourtrayed in this piece of solid rock, as those now
growing in the neighbourhood of the quarry. This geo-
logical curiosity, along with a cluster of nuts, five in
number, which composed
part of the stone, was 30 feet
from the surface, being 20 feet below the present level
of the sea. The nuts and the leaves, stem and trunk of
the fir,. are of a dark brown colour ; while the sur-
rounding body of the stone is n Wueish white, which
gives these fragments the appearance of the finest
fresco painting. Many interesting curiosities of the
like description have been found during the working
of this extensive quarry. The antiquarian geologist

THE MYSTERY.—It is said that the hills
around Mr. Frost's scene of action are not the only
ones on which the " horn of liberty" has been lately
sounded, and that Frost is not alone in the glory of
planning, and attempting to accomp!ish, various Char-
tist measures by other means than either National
Petitions or National Rents. We have heard of
" progress " of more than one Chartist "
amongst the mountains of the west ; and we shoal."'
not be surprised if Dr. Taylor, who has been arrested
at Alston Moor, should be able to unravel a little of
the " mystery" with which certain Chartist sages Prdee
so inconveniently puzzled. We have already expiesse
our commiseration for Frost. He was evidently Wis.'
led by the " mystery"-mongers of the North. Thehr:
