DECAYED FREEMASONS.
The sixth anniversary festival in aid of the Asylum
for the relief of aged and decayed freemasons, was held
yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavel'n. Mr. Benjamin
Wood, the Member for Southwark, was expected to take
the chair, but owing to the excitement caused by the
forthcoming election, and the duties which he has to
perform towards his constituents, he could not attend,
and sent a letter stating the cause of his absence, and
inclosing the sum of 101. for the benefit of the Institu-
tion. Mr. J. Copeland Bell was proposed by Dr. Cru-
cifix as chairman, and appointed by general acclamation.
About 150 sat down to dinner, which was served up in
excellent style, and in the gallery were many ladies who
appeared to take great interest in the Institution.
Among the rest, Miss Hawes and Miss Turner, who
volunteered their services on the occasion. Mr. Broad-
hurst also lent his aid in support of the Institution.
After the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman called the at-
tention of the meeting to the great object of the evening,
the asylum for aged and decayed freemasons. He stated
that at the commencement it met with great opposition,
bat had finally triumphed, and was now in a flourishing
condition. He then gave, " Success to the Asylum for
the worthy Aged and Decayed Freemasons."
The toast was drank with great applause.
An address was then pronounced by Mr. Osbaldiston
in favour of the Institution, which was followed by
two stanzas, written by Mr. J. Lee Stevens, and beauti-
fully sung_ by Miss Turner. They were rapturously en-
cored, and the words were so appropriate for the occa-
sion, that we should not be justified in omitting tirAn,
and we therefore give them at length:—
" Where pleasures beam, where joys abour.d
Where happy hearts alone are found ,
Where even love may deign to be
There still is room for Charity ',
The brightest eyes may
righter smile—
WheThe warmest
heard l, may warmer glow—
t
• That from enjoy,-
.nents turn awhile,
'To dry the tears of want and woe !
" And where 'unhappy discord reigns,
Where
• assion frowns with starting veins,
"fe even hatred we may see,
T'Aere still is room for Charity !
For, yielding to her pure delight,
Contending hearts more genial grow,
And foes that were, as friends unite,
To dry the tears of want and woe !"
The CIIAIRI"IAN then gave the health of the Treasurer,.
br. Crucifix, and paid a high compliment to this old
friend of the brotherhood, for the active part he had
taken in the cause of charity.
Dr. CRUCIFIX returned thanks in a speech of much
feeling, for which we regret we cannot find room, and
stated at the conclusion, that the Society was in a pros-
perous condition, and that after meeting all expenses,
they had funds to the amount of 3,1001.
The Secretary then read the report and the list of
subscriptions fir: the year. Among others were Lord
Southampton, 2.1/. ; —Goldsworthy, Esq., 21/. ; —Tancred,
Esq., 10 guireAs; Browse, Esq, 10 guineas; J. Vink,
Esq., 10 g-uir. eas; C. Vink, Esq., 10 guineas; J. Ander- •
son, Esq.. Proprietor of the British Queen Newspaper, 2
guineas, and. 'a great number of others, whose subscrip-
tions amounted altogether to 540/. The dinner and at-
tendance was excellent, and the evening altogether was
spent with that hilarity, good humour, and friendly feel-
ing, which so eminently characterise this ancient and
mysterious institution.

REPRESENTATION OF MARYLE-
BONE.
A numerous meeting of the electors of All Souls District of
this Borough was held yesterday at the Sun and Horse Shoe,
Great Tichlield-street, for the purpose of taking measures to
secure a full attenda'lice of the Reformers at the great Ballot
meeting which is te, take place this day in the Theatre of the
Colosseum.
Mr. DEnics, 'having been unanimously voted to the Chair,
explained the object of the meeting to be that the Reformers
resident in 'the district should be made fully acquainted with.
the nature and objects of the Ballot to be taken the next
by agreement of the rival Reform candidates, at
tue ‘-'OlO sseum. The object was to determtrse which of the
two, g.:
.r C. Napier or Mr. Young, ought to retire from the
IPPtv aching contest, to avoid a division of the Reform in-
tertst---( Hear, hear, hear.) It was agreed that the result of
1
that brallot should influence not only the candidates but their
ri".encis ; and that if Mr. Young should be in the minority his
,friends would do all in their power to promote the return of
Commodore Napier and Sir Benjamin Hall.—(Cheers.) if,
on the contrary, Sir Charles Napier should be in the minority,
his friends were bound by a similar pledge.—(Loud
cheers.) If any elector had a resolution to propose
connected with the purpose for which the meeting was called,
he was ready to hear him ; if not, Mr. Wilson, a member of
the Central Committee, would explain the manner in which
tke ballot was to be conducted.—( Applause, and cries of
~ Wilson Wilson.")
Mr. VinsoN said all present were aware that a schism,
deeply to be deplored, had arisen amongst the Reformers of the
borough, to which he would not now allude, as a means
had been! determined on, by the consent of both
sections of the Liberals, by which their differences
w ould be terminated, he hoped, for ever.—(Cheers.) He then
read the circular letter which had been sent, enclosing a bal-
lotting card, to each of the 8,750 registered electors who had
j voted for a Liberal. at former elections, or had been registered
. ' singe the last election. No person would be allowed to ballot
. who did not show to the scrutineers the letter which he had
re,•eived ; and the only pledge to be required. if any one, was,
that he would not vote for Cabbell; or Hamilton.--(Cheers.)
A resolution was then unanimously agreed to, pledging the
ionofthecbanidldlot,atae whondto
meleeergtoersthperiersesneptatroataebiydieewbsyitnhe division
support of the candidate
who should be in the majority at the close of what was termed
by one of the speakers the " Reform Poll."
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, and to Mr.
Wilson. the meeting separated.
A similar meeting, with Mr. Churchwarden Gibson in the
chair, was held at the Half-Moon, Clipstone-street, in which
Mr. Wilson again explained the manner in which the ballot was
to be taken.
After three enthusiastic cheers for Sir C. Napier, and a vote
of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated at a late
hour, its prolongation being occasioned by the numbers of
electors who came up to.receive information as to the mode of
Iproceedings to be adopted at the great meeting of this day.
Similar meetings were held at the Bee Hive, Somers' 'I own,
the Royal Oak, Pickering-terrace, Bayswater, and at the
-White Lion, Edgeware-road.
