Mr. BEULER'SCONCEIt---T.-7—ThiSientieman, so well
known for the songs he has produced, full of originality, and
descriptive of English customs, will give his annual concert
at the Crown and Anchor on Monday next, and we con-
fidently trust that the " farmers' friends," especially those
in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury, will attend, and call for
the song, " The Man that could not get Warm." We don't
see it in the excellent selection for the evening's entertain-
ment, but if any of Sir R. Peel's kind friends should be present,
and wish to hear the song that created so much merriment at
a Farmers' Club in Buckinghamshire, the author will delight
them by giving it in his own peculiar style. Mr. Beuler has
engaged some excellent singers for the occasion ; among
others, Morgan, who has no equal in giving Irish songs with
true pathos and native character. He will sing "Widow
Machree" and " St. Patrick's Day." Mr. Sporle will give
" The Star of Glengary ;" Mrs. Aveling Smith " Come per
me serano," and Mr. Crouch " Thady O'Toole." In the
course of the evening a fantasia on the concertina will be
given by Mr. Alfred Sedgwick, and imitations of popular
actors by Mr. Leman Rede.
PUGILISM.—Tuesday the long pending prize-fight
between Cullen and Rowe was decided near Gravesend. The
men were matched for a stake of 501., and a good deal of
betting took place, Cullen being the favourite. A steamer,
provided for the occasion, started from Hungerford pier, with
the combatants and a strong muster of the pugilistic fancy.
On arriving at the appointed locality the men prepared for
action, and, after shaking hands together in the usual way,
they immediately commenced with great severity, when Rowe
soon gave evidence of his being the best " general." How-
ever, the men continued the contest . with great courage and
pcience for fifty-seven minutes, when Rowe was declared the
bailer agtidat the cheering Maio Mend&

THE ELECTION OF GRANDMASTER th'r

After nearly twelve months' interregnum, the Per' 04
the election of a successor to the lamented Duke of 5,05,,,a
the late Grand Master, by annual election, arrived,Of
great, indeed, was the interest felt in a ra„,,ntwi t

such momentous import to the Royal craft. Istort
intermission has given to every province and
under the masonic sway—from England to Indio ;hi,
ficient time for consideration as to whose hands tios
important trust should be confided. The cousin
provided for the lamented occasion, and the fro tbt
Master, the Earl of Zetland, assumed, accordingy
honourable duty of presiding ad interim. IV e coar
faithfully did he perform this duty. It was 11° oso,
mon difficulty to follow the steps of his Royalpredec
who, for upwards of thirty years, had filled thehoir
sonic throne. The importance of the trust, eia
ever, disposed many of the fraternity to cast 1110,04
toward the Marquis of Salisbury, the DePuti„ ora
Master, partly from personal preference, partly
bably from a desire of change in the views wide ifs
Pro-Grand Master may entertain on other subject Loy;

nor shall we follow the course of some badly ots,
weekly Contemporaries, who, in endeavouring tooff_
the presumed claims of most honourable btba?,
Marquis of Salisbury, to such a distinguished, lir
have lost sight of the just claims which the trwldier
sonic character of the Earl of Zetland presented teLk
attention—claims so apparent to the zealous and Oa

have disposed them to have associated to ensure Itafti

strictly the wishes of their noble brother, that no clintiot
whatever should be made. It is not improbs,hle. 0141,
this honourable conduct had its weight with the .01'4e,
who, although present at the last Grand Lodge'
he also was nominated, was silent on the subject. bid
The meeting was held in the large hall, and eal"
upwards of five hundred grand officers —wast'ers,jaaff,
masters, and wardens of lodges. After the pre": fhil,

result was that the Earl of Zetland was Welconio,la
