LONDON DISTRICT.
The LODGE of FELICITY, N 0.75 (one of the eighteen Select
Lodges who enjoy the exclusiye privilege of appointing the
(rand Stewards), had, on Monday, their Anniversary Meet-
ing at the London Tavern; for the installation of a Worshipful
Grand Master, when the elution fell upon.J. GROSSET,
M. P., who had previously filled the office of Senior Warden of
this Lodge. Tbo-ceremony of the Installation was performed
with the usual stileinnitivs, and had in efFed unusually splendid
fruits the numerous:age:Mango of persons-distinguished by their
rank, not only in the Masonic-Craft, but in station and intellect
in society. There were present, its leading Officers of the
Lodge, Lawrence Thompson, Master; J. Grosset, Esq. the
Senior Warden, afterwards installed as-already mentioned ; H.
W..3lacreath, Esq., who succeeded to the office of Senior War-
den; Lewis Rarchard, Esq,; \V., and 38 Brothers, including
eight (/rand ( ifficers.
After the ceremonial business of the Installation had been
duly gone through, and a liberal subscription had been made
for the relief .of a distressed Brother, who had formerly suc-
cessively filled the offices of Secretary and Master of this
ancient and respectable Lodge, the Lodge was adjourned to the
dinner room, where an elegant repast of three courses, and is
very plenteous dessert, were, enjoyed with all the zest of convi-
viality,and all thedecorums peculiar to this admirablelnstinition.
The viands were plentiful -and delicate, and the wines ex-
cellent, and every attention- was paid to the accommodation
and satisfaction of the company. When the cloth was remov-
ed, the anthem, Nu, was sung in a solemn and
masterly style y the musical brethren present ; who also, in
the course of the evening, sung several gleeS, &c. in a manner
that might have done credit to professional performers of dis-
tinguished celebrity. The toasts were-
1. " The King, the Patron of the Order."
2. " The Duke of York, Master of the Lodge, No. 1."
3. " The Duke of Siissex, Most Worshipful Grand Master
of the Order.

4. " The newly.installed•Grand Master of the Lodge of Fe-
licity"—which was acknowledged 'by the W. M in a speech
truly Masonic and complinientary to the very respectable at-
tenuance of persons alike distinguished in the honourable Craft,
and in their respective stations in society.
" The Provincial Grand Master"—ln reply to which the
Hon. W. Shirley, Past Ciand Master of the Warwickshire
Masons, returned thanks, and paid due acknowledgments to
the liberal reception and entertainment which had manifested
the true spirit of 31asortrY on this occasion.
6. " The Grand Lodge Officers who honoured the installa-
tion by their attendance"—which watt eloquently acknowledged
by Louis Hayes Petit, Esq., Past Junior Grand Warden.
7. " The Past Masters of tile Lodge of Felicity"—ln reply
to which, the late Master, Thompson, Esq., returned his ac-
knowledgments, and entered into a very interesting history of
the successive alternations of prosperity and decline which
that branch of the Masonic Association had experienced ; con-
eluding with a congratulatory acknowledgment of the returning
splendour which the Ileeting'of that day so emphatically
indicated.

8. " The visiting Brethren"—To which thanks were return-
ed, with the concurrent wish of the visitors present, by Brother
Thelwall. of the Cavi_sat Lode.
J. " The Wardens-of the 'Lodge cif Felicity"--;Which called
up H. Maereath, who alluded in expi•esitive terms to
the general advantages of the Craft of Masonry, and tie inereas.
tgnut ot irodne rapparent in this country of the benefits derivable

" The Musical Brethren who have contributed to the
convivial enjoyments of the evening" —Which was acknow-
ledged by Brother Harris.
11. " The Anniversary of the Boys' Society (to be held at
the Freemasons' Tavern on IVednesday), and success to that
charitable Establishment."

The toasts were all drank with masonic honours ; after which
the company returned to their regular place of meeting, and the
Lodge was resumed for the completion of the accustomed cere-
monies: which concluded, the Brothers respectively de-
parted at a seasonable hour, with those feelings of satisfaction
which can only result from the mingled indulgence of convivial
hilarity with benevolent feelings, and " the feast of reason and
the flow of soul."
