HAMPSHIRE.

SournAmrTom.—The Anniversary of the PestiVal of St.
John was celebrated, on Thursday last, by the Brethren of this
town, with great splendour and conviviality. In the morning,
the Lodge No. 212, met in East-street, and installed the fol.
lowing Officers:—
Br. Dr. Irving, W. 14.
-Br. Pritchard, S. IV.
Br. Clarke, I. W.

Br. Hetherington, S. D.
Br. Cook, I. D.
The Stewards, &c. &c.

The Lodge was then adjourned to the house of the W. Nl.,
Dr. Irving, where the Brethren met at four o'clock, and par.
took of a most sumptuous dinner, served up under the imme-
diate superintendence of Brs. Fowler and Leversuch ; and it is
only justice to say that no table could be better supplied with
every delicacy that the season afforded. The choicest wines flowed
in profusion, and were highly praised by all present. The
R. W. Prov. G. M. Sir Wm. Ch. De Crespigny presided, sup-
ported on his right, by A. R. Dottin, Esq., as a junior Brother,
and on the left by the W. H. of Lodge N. 212, Dr. Irving;
tll4 S.W. Br. Pritchard presided at the lower end of the table.
After the cloth was removed, several Masonic toasts were given
from the. Chair, and. some excellent Masonic glees and songs
were occasionally introduced in a manner that highly gratified
the fraternal circle.

'The dinner was succeeded by h ball, to which each Brother
had the privilege of inviting two ladies. Brothers Maxfield
and Stewart were appointed to receive the ladies, who began to
assemble at eight o'clock. On their arrival they were intro-
duced to Lady Sarah De Crespigny, who honoured the Brethren
by her presence on the occasion. The floor of the bail room was
elegantly ornamented in chalk, with appropriate Masonic de-
vices, admirably executed by Br. Shover on a very short no-
tice. The room was also decorated with a beautiful and highly
finished transparency, representing the M. IV. Grand Master,
H. R. 11. the Duke of Sussex, surrounded by Faith, Hope,
and Charity, painted by Br. Morena, in a style that did justice
to his well-known taste and skill as an artist. The ball was
opened by Br. Lynne and Miss De Crespigny, and the sportive
dance *as kept up with an almost unequalled spirit till five
o'clock in the morning. At intervals the party were plentifully
supplied with every description of refreshments, confectionary,
wine, sherbet, &c. &c. and when the near approach to HIGH
TWELVE in the next day compelled a separation, it was with
infinite regret, mixed with a general expression of the high..
est gratification at the accommodation and pleasure afforded
them by their masonic friends.

WINCHESTER.—The Brethren of the Lodge of CEconomy,
No. 111, have presented to Br. Wm. Early, a handsome silver
Cup, as an expression of their sense of his very particular at-
tmtion to his Masonic duties during the period he has presided
over the Lodge, and as a token of their attachment and esteem
for him as an experienced and worthy Brother.
PORTSEA.—The Lodge of Union, 626, assembled at the An-
chor and Hope Tavern, on Thursday last, to commemorate the
Festival of St. John the Evangelist. The Officers were in-
stalled (pro forma), and the Prov. S. G. W. of Hampshire,who
is a member and P. M. of tins Lodge, Br. Ciladstains, delivered
an oration on the occasion. The Brethren sat down to an ex-
cellent dinner, and the day was spent with that good fel-
lowship and brotherly love, which have always distinguished
that respectable Lodge.

PETEItSFIELD.—The St. George's Lodge of Unanimity
and Fidelity, No. 731, assembled on Thursday last, at the
Red Lion Inn, to celebrate the Anniversary of the Festival of
St. John the Evangelist. After the labours of the day were
closed, the Brethren partook of an excellent supper, served up
in Brother Iroldaway's hest style. The evening was passed
with that conviviality and harmony which have ever distinguish-
ed Masonic Meetings, and at rlrcyt I:wEr.y z that. truly frater-
nal Sentiment " Happy to meet, soiry to part, and happy to meet
again," was given from the Chair, when the Brethren immedi-
ately separated.
