REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED ON QUITTING TILE ABBEY.
Carriages are not to be called up to take the company
away, but will draw up at the several doors in the order of
succession in which they had set dolsn. Tickets Lumbered in
duplicate for each carriage in that order of succession will be
given by the police to the party on setting down—one for
the party and the other for the coachman ; the number of
the ticket for each carriage at the deer will be announced in
the Abbey ; the parties will thus know when their carriages
are about to draw up in time to get ready and prevent delay.

An error occurred in the programme of the Corona-
tion Procession published yesterday in The Sun. The carriages of her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester should have preceded those
of the Duke of Cambridge. His Royal Highness's carriages should
have immediately preceded that of the Duke of Sussex.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The Animals' Friend
Society last week charged Joseph Kitchen, at Bristol, before G. E.
Saunders, Esq., and bench, with having cruelly beaten a horse which had
fallen into a pit, and was covered with sores. He said the sores with
which it was covered proceeded from his own poverty, in not being able
to pay a horse-doctor to cure them. He was fined ten shillings and
committed to seven days' hard labour in default. Henry Drew and
Samuel Phillips were also fined there for cipelty to a sheep and a cat
We are happy to find that all the Magiiirates there, excepting Mr.
Wood, support the Society's agents: and at Union Hall the cab-drive

'266, and Alfred Glover were alsu ficea by Mr. Jemmy, at the instance
of the Society, for ill_treating night cab-horses, to which the greatest
cruelly is generally practiced.

A few days since a young lady, aged 17, belonging
to a family in the neighbourhood of Havre, threw herself from the top
of the cliff at Belville on the rocks on the shore. Sime fishermen who
had seen the act succeeded, but with difficulty, in finding the body,
which was shockingly mutilated.

CORONATION—AII hopes of a celebration main-
tained by an uniformity of feeling and by the extii.ction of party ani-
mosities in that " generous loyalty to rank and sex" which according to
Burke forms the prodest characteristc of " a nation of gallant men and
cavaliers" is now at an end in Norwich. The liberal efforts of the
Chief Magistrate—the expressed desires of the Municipal Council—the
resolutions of a Committee chosen from both sides—the munificent ex-
ample of the Mayor, public bodies, opulent firms, and of individuals,
shown by their subscriptions, are all nullified—by what agency the
citizens and the public at large must judge. But so it is—the attempts
at conciliation for the general good and the general amusement have all
been frustrated.--Norwich Mercury.
Mr. Macauley, who having distinguished himself
upon the Refarm Bill during the time he was Secretary to the India
Dowd, left Parlia:nent and proceeded to India, where he had carved
out for himself a snug berth of ten thousand
pound a.year, has
just returned home. With the accumulations of this princely sa-
lary in his pocket, he has 110,7 an opportunity of being truly intepcii.
dent, and of serving hi.; country as effectually as be has served himself.
It is said he is looking to Glasgow, bat is hesitating upon the Ballot.—
Weekly True Sun.__

Cumous FACT.—A butcher with whom we hap-
pened to be in conversation the other clay, assured us as a singular fact,
that he invariably found the shoulder of a sheep exactly one-tenth part
of the weight of its whole body, and that he would have no ob3etion to
sell a lot on those conditions.—Western Luminary.
A meeting took place on Wednesday last, on the
Belgian frontier, near Fumes, between Captain Tucker, R.N., and W. S.
Hartley, Esq. The former was attended by Major Tucker, late of the
3d Magoon Guards, and the latter by J. B. Philbroil, Esq. Captain
Tucker having received Mr. Hartley's fire, discharged his pistol in the
air. An explanation then took place to the satisfaction of both parties.
ROAST PIG—A BAKED BULL.—The follow-
ing appears in a Sunday paper :—" For cur own parts, we know of no
sight snore agreelble than that of the baked dinners carried from the
oven after church.time—the bit of meat in the pool of gravy in the
batter
pudding, called toad-in-Use boat; the shoulder of mutton and po-
tatces ; and peradventure the roast pig."
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On the Evening of Friday,
J. Lawton, a labourer, on his return from Newton Races, was nearly cut in
pieces by one of the waggon trains on the Grand Junction Railway at
Winwiek. The deceased was taken up quite dyad.

ken, Horace Vcrnet received 40,000 francs, the Order of Stanislaus of
the second class, and a perure of diamonds, valued at 5,000 dollers, for
his lady.
It is generally understood that Lord \Vil!ia►n Ben-
, tinck declines the distinction of the hereditary peerage, principally on tire
ground that it would hazard the return of a Tory for Glasgow, oeing to
the division; which prevail there amongst Reformer:. Cordia ly
united, the Radicals and Whigs are abundantly strong to maintain
the ascendancy, but divided, they would in all probabinty pave the
way for the triumph of their common enemy. The Radicals, who are
sturdy and strong, deem a decided demonstration in favour of Mr. Roe-
buck, as an out-and-out advocate of Universal Suffrage, Annual
' Elections, and the Ballot, though defeat should be the result, far pre-
ferable than victory in the person of Mr. Patrick Stewart, whom they
regard as a Whig of the most suspicious school.— Beekly True Sun.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The Italian Opera
was crowded on Tuesday at the drawing up of the curtain. The first ap.
pearance of Madame Grisi since the late fracas had probably some eff.et
in drawing a full house at so early an hour. We wish one of the mana-
gers of the Evening Journal that calls this lady " a singing woman at
some of the theatres" had been present to witness the enthusiasm with
which she was received. He would have learned to pay some respect to
those talents that command the admiration of the most select and refined
society in the world. The entrance of Madame Grisi was hailed by the
most flattering applause, and she seemed so much affected by it that it was
some minutes before she could go on with the business of the stage. The
opera was Parisina, in whets she plays the }art which has already gained
her so much reputation in Paris and at this theatre. After the first act
of the opera Fanny and Teresa Eisler made their debut this season.
The former is decidedly improved, and has attained a strength and pre-
cision far beyond any other dancer on the stage. The Osiers were
called before the curtain at the conclusion of the dance, and were most
flatteringly received. Taglioni then appeared with M. Guerra in a
scene from the Sy/phitle. Notwithstanding the favour her rival E'sler
experienced, the moment Taglioni began to dance her empire was re-
sumed. The Brigand of Terracina followed, in which Fanny Eisler
assumed the part which Duvernay made so popular last year. We can
institute no comparison between these distinguished rivals. We can
only say that while Eisler is present we can have no occasion to lament
the absence of Duvernay. The whole performance was delightful.
THE " SHABBY" TORIES AND THE CORONA-
TION.— A requisition signed by 14 Liberals and 10 Tories was last week
presented to the Mayor, requesting him to call a public meeting of the in-
habitants of the borough, for, the purpose of considering the best
means of "celebrating the Coronation of her most Gracious Majesty
Victoria 1., as Queen of these Realms." In compliance with the
wishes of the requisitionists, the mayor called a meeting, and
named Friday, the Sth instant, as the day; will it be believed,
that not a single Tory attended the meeting! —the con-
sequence was, that the meeting was adjourned to Tuesday the I.2th
instant, mu order to show whether the previous neglect of atten.
dance on the part of the Tories was through mere inadvertence
or from design. Wen, Tuesday arrived, and with tire same result,
not one of those Tories who had signed the requisition thought
proper to attend. On seeing this, Mr. Pring, moved that the meeting
should be adjourned, sine die, which being seconded by Mr. A. Clarke,
was agreed to. Thus far the Tories teemed to have gained their
cods, and were chuckling to themselves that they had so completely
humbugged the poor °Newport and its vicinity out of a good dinner ;
and, by the bye, the industrious, poor of Newport will doubtlrss learn to
appreciate the conduct of those whose every effort is directed to grind and
keep them down ; but thanks to our indefatigable, encrge:ic, and
liberal townsman Mr. Pring, who has on so many occasions been a thorn
in the side of these Throne and Altar gentlemen, and who, in propor,

. .
tion as he is hated by them, is respected by the Liberal camp, he imme-
diately put his shoulder to the wheel in right earnest, and the result is,
that the poor of Newport and its environs will be enabled to celebrate
the Coronation of our youthful and beloved Queen in a most substantial
manner, without the aid of a Tory sixpence. Talk about Tories being
the friends of the poor—cats are as friendly to mice.—From the Hemp.

culiarly gratifying to its able and patriotic founder. Mr. Anderson is

taken into the Athemeum 2—Aberdeen Herald. A great improvement is on the point of beingin-
troduced at Liege. Every street-lamp is to have one pane of ground

At a meeting of the Medico-Botanical Society on
Wednesday week, Dr. Macreight detailed the results of an analysis of
St. John Long's celebrated lotion, which, it seems, it merely a com-
pound of oil of turpentine, a strong acetic acid, held in suspension in
water by means of the yolk of en egg. The ingredients have long been
in use as counter-irritants with regular practitioners, and could only
prove dangerous in the hands of an ignorant quack. Ile also proved,
on pathological principles, that the suposed paradoxical effects of the
lotion were such as would follow the application of almost any substance
with skilful manipulation.

PENSION COMMITTEE.—Reports are prevalent
that some extraordinary circumstances have been elicited from an
inquiry into a pension which has been received for some years by
a Magisterial Baronet residing at Brighton. When the titled re.
cipient was called to explain the consideration for which the pen.
sion, 3001. a-year was granted, he is represented to have stated,
that a letter came under his notice, written by an individual at
Brighton, which the writer intended to publish, charging
the Prince Regent with most unprineely propensities ; that
he caused the individual in question to be apprehended, when a pistol
and certain indications of his design to' do the Prince some bodily
harm were found in his room. The man was taken Into custody,
and being found of insane mind, was disposed of; and that it was for his
loyal vigilance and Ministerial activity upon the occasion, that the Prince
Regent conferred upon him this mark of Royal munificence. We stop
not to inquire whether the party in question did mere than his dirty as a
magistrate and a good citizen required of him, without looking to or
any other reward than the enviable delight of having
best of Sovereigns from the maniac stroke; nor to say
more present,
than that the tendency of the inquiry suggests the pop:-

HOMEWARD BOUND; OR TIIE CHASE. BY THE
A trrua
,ft OF " Ton " RED RovEn," &c.—The author of" The
Pilot" is now too well known as a novelist to require a formal introduc.
lion.
He has held his place as one of the most popular writers of the
Irl e
e the
day for a period extending to nearly three lustres, and in his own de.
partment, on his own element, the sea, he is allowed to have no equal.
His home is truly on the deep, and he throws an interest around every
incident connected with it which never fails to rivet the attention of the
reader. In Cooper's pages all the romance, the poetry, the uncertainties,
casualties, perils, and superstitions of the great deep, are as fresh and
attractive as of yore. W.th him they have nut lost their charms, and he
luxuriates amongst them as one whose life has been passed amid scenes
with which they were associated, and who delights in recalling them.
Homeward Bound," from the perfect vraisemblance of its details, pos-
sesses that sort of interest which enchants every reader of" Robinson
Crusoe." The African scenes arc in Cooper's very best manner; and
the escape of the boat, and ultimately of the ship, are equal to the best
things in " The Pilot" or " lied Rover." The characters also are ex.
hibited with great skill, particularly that of Captains Truck, in the deli-
neation of whose amusing peculiarities the author has been remarkably
nappy. The interest of the stony increases at every page ; and from the
delight its perusal has afforded us, we have little hesitation in predicting
its popularity. " Homeward Bound" must indeed be re.,;arded as a work
of great talent.—Edinburgh. Observ--7.

THIRTY - SECOND ANNIVERSAR Y
DINNER OF THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS'
SCHOOL.

(Abridged from the Morning Advertiser.)

Yesterday the Thirty-second Anniversary of this Institution was
celebrated at the White Conduit Tavern. At a little past four o'clock
the stewards took their places, at the cross able, preceding Lord
Brougham, who was conducted to his seat by the Chairman, 11. N
Smith, Esq., and followed by several personages of note, among whom
we noticed Admiral Thompson, Galloway, Esq , D. Wire, Esq ,
J. Dwyer, Esq., Alderman Hodges,•late Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ste. &c.
At the head of one of the tables near the cross table were associated
together the whole of the Gentlemen constituting the deputation from
the country districts interested in the Beer Bill, and the matters relating
to the licensing system. There were Messrs, Hopkin, of Bristol ; Bond,
of Bristol; Stowell, of Birmingapm ; Summer,gill, Wilde, and Met-
calfe, Leeds ; Kiln, Portsmouth; Dalton, Huddersfield ; Ogden, Old_
ham.; Robertson, Stockport; Cooper, Sheffield; Sugsien, Halifax;
Hall, Ashton-under-Line; Brown, Beuvan and Bryden, Liverpool ;
Baker, Manchester ; and Messrs. Curtis and Juble, from Hull. The
dinner, as usual on the summer meeting, was cold.
After the usual loyal toasts,
The CHAIRMAN rose and spoke as follows :—Gcntlemen, I am now
about to propose the health of one whom, if I named to you, I should
not be allowed to add another word, for it will be received by you not
with the ordinary feelings of pleasure, but Leith one burst of enthu.
siasm and delight—one whose exertions in all our charitable institutions
and particularly in the great subject of education, arc such, and so
universally felt, that all praise is superfluous, and panegyric powerless,
These exertions are so felt in the increased intellect of the community
at large—in the extended progress of science—that it is impossible to
compare society of the present day with that of the past, without feel.
ing that the schoolmaster has been at home as well as abroad. Gentle-
men, " the Right Hon. Lord Brougham."
The toast was drunk with immense applause.
Lord BROUGHAM then rose amidst tremendous cheers, which lasted
for several minutes ; after the applause had subsided he said—Gentle.
men, I beg to return you my warmest thanks for the very great kindness
with which you have received me amongst you to-day.—(Cheers.) It
is not the first time I have had the satisfaction to meet with my old
friends and my old clients, if I may call them so—the Licensed Victual-
lers' Society.—(Hear.) My old clierits—for we have, if I may so speak,
been concerned in business together for many long years.—(Cheers.)
But, gentlemen, congratulating you, as I may on many other things, I
consider that I may congratulate you on this ground especially—the last
time I had the honour of dining with you—now seventeen years ago, we
had not—although there was then a numerous company and a respect-
able company assembled—we had not, or we had scarcely one-third part
of the numbers then congregated which I have the happiness to
meet to-day.—(Cheers.) The numbers were then under a thousand
—(Heer, hear)—but I have now the honour to address a number some.
what approaching three thousand of my fellow.citizms.—(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, that is not the only subject on which I have to congratulate
you today—(Hear)—the great progress also which has been made by
those Noble charities which form the principal objects of your Society,
calls for the most hearty expressions of joy and of gratitude on behalf of
the whole community.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, long before the pa-

the Prince, who in bestowing his patronage sent his first Minister
to lay the foundation-stone of your schools—it had so increased in
public favisur, and was thus enabled so to increase its funds that
you could look in the face an amount of expenditure unexampled by
any private society.—(Loud cheers.) I call it so—l call it a private
society ; for you have no city lands—(Hear)—you have no stock but
what has been accumulated by voluntary subscriptions—you have no
income but that which has been derived from public favour towards
your funds—and the literary property which was created, and which is
the property of your body—(Edeer, hear)—and yet no less than a sum
of 16,000/. has been expended in erecting your School, besides an an-
nual expenditure in carrying cut the great work of education of 5,0001.
sterling.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) This is really one, almost un.
exampled amongst the great efforts of the wise, benevolent, and en.
lightened charities in this country.—(Loud cheers.) But, gentlemen, I
see also in your yearly report, which I had the satisfaction of perusing
this morning, that since this Society has begun its wise, liberal, and en.
lightened labours, no less than eight hundred children have been
rescued by it from the paths of ignorance and vice.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) But why have I said ignorance acid vice, using more words
than my meaning requires? Why have I referred both to the dark-
ness of ignorance and the paths of vice ? They are the same
thing—(Hear, hear)—for they who are benighted in the darkness of
ignorance are sure to go into the paths of vice—(Hear, hear)—and
they are the friends of enlightened education who base it on liberal and

tolerant principles, without domination from a Church—(Hear,
or without the intermcddling of a State beyond that which is necessary
only—(Hear, hear)—and without the bilter contentions of sects, any
more than the interftrence of a Church, or the oppression of the State
—(Hear)—they who found such a system—libc.ral and tolerant—of
education—must be deemed the benefactors of society, for they give
their efforts to extirpate vice and to prevent men from becoming vicious.
—(Hear, and cheers.) We have met today on what I may venture to
call neutral ground—groutd that is common to Church—to sects—
common to Whigs—common to Tories, and common to Radicals—to
men of strong opinions—to men of weak opinions, and to men of no
opinions at all.—(Laughter.) When I speak of men of no opinions
at all, I speak, gentlemen—mark me—of men expressing no opinions
upon party matters—(Hear)—for there are many men who have no
opinions upon party questions, and who do not care two straws for
party matters, and who yet hold sound, and useful, and valuable 00-

Mons upon subjects of the greatest importance, and of the greatest in-
terest in what most concerns human nature.—(Hear, hear.) Ido net

speak in any way contemptuously of men who, as I have stated have
no opinions—it was not with that meaning I used the expression ;
but with the intention to convey to you that' whilst they hold no
opinions as to party politics, or on sectarian subjects, they may still
be as good politicians and as excellent patriots as if they were
banded under the colours of a party, or were sworn in the shibboleth
of a sect.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Gentlemen, that was my meaning;
for I would not stop a moment—l would disdain it—l would
not waste a word upon the factions that divide, and that ever—
till education has made its fitting progress—that ever will divide the
community. But these distinctions are wearing away gradually and
visibly, as education and improvement of the human mind increase;

the partisan it he be honest—they may worship in the same temple
with the priest—they may be loyal to the prince or the princess—(Hear,
hear)—and if Providence will it, I earnestly trust that the Queen who
fills the throne of these realms may have a long and prosper ohs reign—

These, gentlemen, being my opinions, I have stated them without any
disrespect—without the slightest disrespect to the high personages to
whom I have alluded—l respect them, and I respect the press as
the great source of the public improvement which fur yeas has
distinguished the progress of time, But Ido tint say which of these is
the most deserving of support—whether it be those who in the race of
improvement do little—(Hear)—whether it be those who do nothing, or
next to nothing—(Hear, and a laugh)—but I hope that the last will

soon do something more, for if they do not I don't think they will Le

of those I have enumerated, or which is worse than the other. It is
not worth the trouble to weigh them in holden scales when the difference

then, as to the great truth which I have endez.roured to expound, and

. ,
on which I have ventured a short lecture this evening—namely, the
duty of every maw to think for himself, and not to permit others to
frame his opinions for him. I have already said that some persons
have got such an absurd way of letting others make their opinions- fcr
them, that the framers do with them just as the apothecaries from whom

they get the prescriptions they arc compelled to use ; for they are well
aware that they know not, and the apothecary knows well that they are
not aware of what the prescription is composed —nay, they are sehsible
that it is not meant they should know the materials of which it is
made up—but this I will say, that be men of what opinions they
msy—let their politics be of what side or of what party they may,
it is their duty to their country, a duty they owe to themselves, to form
their own opinions, and, holding them, to maintain them—(Hear,
hear)—to maintain them with all courtesy to their adversaries and
to those who differ with them in opinion ; for I will say that they
show the least courtesy to their adversaries and to those who dif.
fer with them in opinion, who do not think for them.
selves.—;Hear, hear, hear.) They take by rote, like parrots, and
promulgate the opinions which their party leaders permit them to
hold, compoun led and made up as they are like drugs—noxious drugs
—for they cannot be compared to any thing else—they are not food for
the mind—they cannot either sustain or cherish intellect, for they are
not the result of reason.--(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) These are my
opinions, and I trust I may be pardcne I for taking this opportunity o f
shortly stating them---!rut I shall always be ready, if I see reason to alter •
them, to state what these reasons are. The period when this would be
necessary, however, I do not expect will ever arrive. I hat e
held and maintained the same canrse of doctrine during the whole
course of my political life. For thirty-six years I have mai.itained it, •
and although I doubt much that I shall have the opportunity of holding
it for the same time longer, yet I shall be pleased if I should have it—
but most of all should-I be pleased if the same advance, the same
provement marked the progress of time amongst al, ranks of my fellow.
citizens which has marked it dining the last twenty.five ycars.—(Hear,
hear, and cheers) Now, Gentlemen, permit me to again to return to
you my warm and hearty thanks for the kindness—the great kindness of
the reception I have met from you to-day.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) •
Permit me also, before I close what I have stated to you, to ask you to
drink a toast which I have bon requested, and which I trust I may
have the honour to propose.—( Hear, hear.) After what you have seen
—after what you haveknown of the great good done to the community
by the noble society, the anniversary of whose establishment we have
met to-day to cominemorate—permit me to promise " Prosperky and
long continuance to the Society of Licensed Victuallers." The Nobk

and Learned Lord at down amidst loud cheers, which lasted to

sever ;1 minutes.

The children were then introduced. The efrect produced by the
appearance of the children was very striking. The gaderies and plat-
forms, which were crowded with ladies, responded in sensibility to the
sight. The senior scholars, Masters Flusvy and Elliot, spoke an
address prepared for the occasion. The children, male aid female
then sung a hymn.

The SECRETARY then real the report, anal the Chairman delivcrod

an appropriate address.

Mr. BLF.ADEN proposed the health of their ex.:.•ellent Chairman,
The toast was drunk with great applause. •

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and proposed, "The mothers, the
wives, the sisters, and the sweethearts of all true Englishmen."
JAMES Dwvea, Esq., said that as a stranger amongst them, and as an
Irishman, having been called on by the Chairman to return thanks on
behalf of the ladies, he would be unworthy the name of Irishman if he
did not cheerfully respond to the toast which had just beet S 3 enthu-
elastically drunk. This was the first thee he liad ever the pleasure of
meeting the Society of Licensed Victuallers, and he must say that so
sublime a spetacle or so megniiicent an assembly he had never wit-
nessed in his life.—(Loud cheers.) He would now conclude by propos.
ing to them a toast which had been confided to inter—" The heath of
Lord Melbourne and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers."—The toast
was roeeivcd and drunk with applause.
J. CARTER WOOD, Esq , proposed--" The health of the Lord Mayor
and the Sheriffs of London, and long may they deem it their proudest
feeling to be associated with Associations like this."—(Loud and con-
tinued cheering )
Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE returned thanks.
Mr. BEAZLEY proposed, " The Governor and Committee of Manage-
meat of the Licmsed Victuallers' School."
The Common returned thanks,

Mr ELF:ADEN proposed, " Chairman, Trustees, and Governess
of the Licsnscel Victuallers' Asylum."
Sir. Bixcadsv proposed the health of the gentleman who so ably
condacted the Morning Advotiser, and in joining with him their ex.
cellent Secretary.
The toast was drunk with great applause.
Mr. ANDER3ON was proud to say that, since he first became
netted with the Marniny Advertiser, the circulation, talc!' was then
only 3,000, was now upwards of 5,000, and constantly increasing—
and not only increacing, but when other journals of the same polities
se re falling at the rate of 75 per cent., it continued to gain upon the ft.
your of the public. Great improvements had been made in the rape',
and great expenses Lad ben incurred, but all had tended to increase
its profits, its character, and its Milner ce. When he heard
the observations that fell frail the eloquent Nobleman who
had honoured tl.e company that day—a nobleman who had immortalised
himself in the annals of the country by his efforts in the caste of huma.
nsty and educ..tion, and who he might safely state to be his :rend—that
they should form their opinions for themselves, he felt proud that Oie
Press of the Licensed Victuallers was a free Press—not ',mid to any
party—not controlled by any fsction— no t tc suhjict o slave of Prim e
State, or Church, but the honest emanator of the honest mind of Eng-
land. Having said thus much for the Morning Advert:ser and himself,
he must now advert to a colleague, who would in fewer, and more ( ffec-
live words have returned thanks—he meant Mr. Blake, the Secretary
for the Institution. It was hm:ossible for him to speak of him as he
deserved ; he had discharged his duties in a manner that it was cuite
impossible could be exceeded—(Applause)—eitl.er in this or in any
other Institution.

Several toasts were drunk before the company separated, which they
did highly delighted with the entertainment of the day.

ASYLUM FOR AGED AND DECAYED
FREEMASONS,

Yesterday the anniversary dinner of this institution was held at tLe
Freemasons' Hall, at which were present not c nly the brethren of tl.e
craft, but also ninny benevolent individuals, who do not belong to thLt
most ancient and remarkable institution.
At six o'clock Alderman THOMAS WOOD took the Chair, said about
200 gentlemen sat doWn to dinner in the great hall of the tavern, and at
the same time the ladies in the gallery retired to the drawing-roam far
refreshment, more agreeable to their gentle and amiable character.
After dinner the Benedidus grace was sung with excellent effect by.
Messrs. Bellamy, Hawes, &c., and it was much applauded.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose " The Health of her moat Gra-
cious Majesty Victoria ;" and in doing so he very properly adverted to
the youth, the amiable disposition, and cultivated mind of our beloved
Sovereign, and the hopes which the nation entertained of a long and
prosperous reign to her most Gracious Majesty. This toast was of course
well received, and whit due honours, followed by tlte national anthem in
full chorus.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The Health of Queen Adelaide,
and the rest of the Royal Family," which, after due honour, was
followed by the glee. " Health to Queen Adelaide, and long un-
broken years." After which the Chairman proposed, " The Health
of his Boy,' Highness the Duke of Sussex, the most Wor-
shipful the Grand Master of Masons in England," and in
doing so he remarked on the great improvement which had taken
Waco in the system of freemasonry since that event, which occurred
twenty_six years ago. Previous to that time the Societies were
n A properly combined. nor were they in the habits of friendship with
similar Listitutions on the Continent and in other parts of the world,
being, as it were, isolated, and their existence unknown or uninterest-
ing to other nations; but this is net the ease at the present day, for corn.
munications arc kept up with foreign lodges, and foreigners of the craft
are received as brethren should be amongst us, all which proves the ad.
vantages of a well ordered system of government, such as we have as
freemasons, experienced for some years. After the Grand Master's
health was drunk, there was sung a new solo and chorus composed for
the occasion—" Salve Magister."
The Cu,uax.s s then gave a toast in compliment to the craft generally*,
when a brother mason from the State of Massachusetts, le North Ame-
rica, returned thanks on the part of the American lodges, the origin of
which he traced up to 1733.

The CIILIRMAN then proposed, " Prosperity to the Asylum," and
in so doing observed, that la common with the great majority of free.
masons of England, it had his most sincere good wishes, although be
much regretted to say that it had nut gained the approbation of some
of their brethren of 1411 rank. The objections to this asylum were
to the effect, that it might cause tnany of them to become less careful
to secure a competence, if tkey found a resource open to them, without
much exertion on their pacts. This idea the Chairman combatted for.
cibly, and observed they took children at an early age to educate, &c.,
and they looked after them carefully until they were settled in life;
but after having fulfilled the duties of fathers, husbands, and mas-
ters, it sometimes did happen that they could not realise a compe_. tency for their declining years, and it did seem strange to him
(the Chairman) that age and destitution should not have sooner
attracted the attentimr of the brethren. He knew it required great
exertions and perseverance to bring it into a state of permanency; but
what had been achieved already gave cheerful hopes of a successful issue
to this benevolent purpose; and as to this institution inducing a laxity
of principle in the economy of the members, he for one did not enter_
Lain that notion. The toast Was then drunk with much animation ;
after which a new masonic glee, " Time Three Tasks," written for the
occasion, was sung with much effect, and one of the brothers, Mr%
Ge;rge Bennett, delivered an address written expressly for this occasion.
" The health of the Treasurer and other Officers" was the❑ given,
when Dr. Cnuerrix returned thanks; after which the Secretary read
the Report, and the amount of subscriptions received since the last
meeting. In the course of the evening Miss Hawes ambled much to the
pleasure of the evening by some excellent specimens of her vocal talents,
which were warmly acknowledged.
