IL OF LODGE

—To commemorate the glorious

12th of Juiy, this loyal and respectable body of Orange-

.. . .
men met yesterday evening, at Mr. Marshall's, Edge-
hill Coffee-house, where upwards of forty of the order
sat down to dinner. The room was most tastefully de-
corated—flags emblematic of the order, and illustrative
of British industry, were gracefully hung from the ceiling

and walls, and numerous vases of flower; were distributed
on the tables in a manner that geve a refreshing as well as
a truly picturesque appearance to the apartment. The
chandeliers were surrounded by evergreens, into which
were gracefully entwined the choicest flowers of the sea-
son, not the least prominent of which was the magnificent
orange lily. The chair, as a matter of course, was taken
by the Master, and was filled in a manner alike creditable
to himself and the society over which he presided. He
was supported on the right by no less a personage than
the Reverend T. D. Gregg, of Dublin, whose enthu-
siasm and frequent remarks were not only entertaining
but intellectual. The late Deputy Grand Master was
also present, as were numerous other equally impor-
tant individuals. A party of glee singers, some mem-
bers of the body, attended on the occasion, and their
efforts were such as to call forth most deservedly the
enthusiastic plaudits of all assembled. The dinner
was not only substantial but excellent, and to the
worthy host we do no more than a duty when we say it
not oily comprised every variety of the season, but
those varieties (unlike west dinners) were well
cooked. After the cloth was removed, the toast of
•. The Queen" was given from the chair, and followed by
the glee, " God save the Queen." "The Queen Dowager
and the rest of the Royal Family's followed, and was most
enthusiastically received. Glee—" The Two Roses."
" The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great
and good King William, Prince of Orange," was then
drunk in solemn silence. Glee—" Lovely Night." The
toast, " The Grand Master, the Earl of Enniskiller,"
was received with the Kentish fire, and followed by
the glee. " Bright sword of Liberty." The toast of
"The late Deputy Grand Master" was prefaced by a
short address from the chair, and followed by the glee,
" Hail Smiling Morn." The late Deputy Grand Master
briefly replied, but in that brevity there was an expression
of uncorrupted feeling and liberality that seemed to raise
the already buoyant spirits of the party, and the en-
thusiastic cheers that followed but faintly illustrated
the enthuastic joy it created. " The Worshipful Master
of Lodge 42" was given from the vice-chair (which was
most ably filled), and was ably responded to by the gen-
tleman proposed. Glee---.." Spring's delights," To the
toast. " The Protestant Bishops and Clergy of the Dio-
cese," coupled with the Rev. T. D. Gregg, the latter
gentleman replied at length, and we are only sorry that
the lateness of the hour prevents us doing that justice to
to his address that its merits deserve—for in a word he
illustrated the present state of Protestantism, and the
duplicity of popery. He showed the firm course he had
pursued, and the position to be taken, and displayed a
knowledge, a tact end talent, that in a few words it is im-
possible to describe. The address was loudly applauded
throughout. Glee—" Good Night." The tollowing
toasts we, e then given :—" The Town and Trade of Liver-
pool." Glee—"To all ve Ladies." "Our Visiting Friends."
Glee—" Banish, 0 Maiden." " Lancashire Witches ;"
and followed by a solo, with self accompaniment, " The
Accomplished Young Lady." Numerous healths were
afterwards drunk, and at a seasonable hour the company
dispersed, each highly delighted with the hilarity of the
evening and the loyalty that had been unanimously dis-
played.
