GRAND LODGE OF SCOTLAND .
A QUARTERLY communication of the Grand Lodgo of Scotland ¦ was held at Freemasons' Hall , on Thursday , 3 rd instant—Sir Michael R . Shaw , Bart ., Grand Master Mason , on the throne . Bro . R . F . Shaw Stewart Senior Grand Warden was in his place , and Bro . Crombie , Aberdeen , Junior Grand Deacon , acted as Junior Grand Warden . Amongst the other brethren present were—the Earl of Mar and Kellie Depute Grand Master ; Bros . D . Murray Lyon Grand

Proxy District Grand Master of India , Dr . John Falconer Proxy Provincial Grand Master of New South Wales , with numerous other representatives from foreign Grand Lodges . Grand Lodge having been properly constitnted , the Grand Master made a suitable reference to the loss which Grand Lodge had sustained through the decease of Bro . the Rev . VV . C . E . Jamieson , one
of the Joint Grand Chaplains . Many of the brethren were , he said , better acquainted than he was with their departed Chaplain , bnt he had always understood that he was a very estimable and rising minister of the Church of Scotland . At any rate he knew , and most of the brethren knew , that Bro . Jamieson was kind , courteous , pleasant , and gentlemanly ; and he little thonght , when he had the
pleasure of meeting him at last St . Andrew ' s Festival , that that kind and genial young man would no more be among them . He was sure the brethren all regretted his loss , nob for his own sake , but for those he had left behind him ; and he moved that Grand Lodge , through their Grand Secretary , should send to the bereaved widow an expression of their sincere sympathy and condolence . This was at
once agreed to by Grand Lodge . A statement was submitted of the accounts of the Grand Lodge for the year ending 30 th November last , which showed an income of £ 3685 , and expenditure amounting to £ 2285 . The funds and estate amounted to £ 18 , 105 , as compared with £ 16 , 705 last year , showing an increase during the year of £ 1400 . During the period
under report there had been 3763 intrants and affiliations . A statement of the accounts of the Masonic Benevolent Fund for the same period showed that about £ 400 had been distributed by the Committee in votes and casual charity in the course of the year , and that the Fund now stood at £ 5712 , as compared with £ 5460 last year . During last quarter the grants had amounted to nearly £ 140 . A
vidimus of the income and expenditure of Grand Lodge for last quarter showed that the income had been £ 1291 , and the expenditure £ 723 , leaving an excess of income to the extent of £ 568 . There had been 855 intrants to the Graft during that period . It was reported that Bro . the Earl of Fife , acceding to the wishes of the brethren in Banffshire , had agreed to allow himself to be
nominated for appointment to the Provincial Grand Mastership of Banffshire ; and Grand Lodge nnanimously agreed to issue a commission in his Lordship ' s favour . On the recommendation of the Grand Lodge of Hamburgh , Bro . Dr . II . Goldstucker was appointed representative to that body , in room of Bro . Dr . De la Camp , deceased . It was agreed to accept the resignation of Bro . T . M . Reid of his
office of Provincial Grind Master of Trinidad , and to thank him for his long-continued and highly valuable services . In forwarding his resignation , which was owing to pressure of business , Bro . Reid stated that Masonry in that colony was at present carried on more satisfactorily than he had knovvn it for many years . It was resolved to exchange representatives with the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island ,
U . S ., and to appoint Bro . Past Grand Master James Hutchison as representative to that body . Bro . Dnnas Filgueira was appointed Provincial Grand Master of Peru . On the petition of the Provincial Grand Lodge of the West India Islands and others , Bro . William M'Call Provincial Grand-Senior Warden was unanimously appointed Provincial Grand Master , in room of Bro . the Hon . J . King Wattley , deceased . Grand Lodge ordered that chartera be issued in favour of
Grand Lodge Of Scotland.
Lodges St . Clair ( Kilwinning , Lyttloton , N . Z . ) , Breadalbane ( Aberfeldy ) , and Rawclifle ( Rothesay ) . A report was submitted from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Peebles and Selkirk for tho year 1880 , which showed that the Lodges within tho Province had been officially visited during the year , and found to bo in good working order , and
that otherwise the Provincial Grand Lodgo was in a healthful condition . Satisfactory reports were also submitted from Sir Archibald C . Campbell , of Btythswood , and Captain Clayhill Henderson , of Invergowrio , Provincial Grand Masters of Renfrewshire East and Forfarshire , as to tho condition of the Lodges iu their respective
Provinces . Grand Lodgo approved the minutes of committee in reference to complaints against the action of the office bearers of the Lodge the " Gael , " Glasgow , and other brethren , for having issued and recommended a petition or " bogging circular , " which had been issued to Lodges both iu and furth of Scotland and the Scotch Constitution
It had been stated in tho Glasgow Provincial Grand Lodge , in defence of the " Gael , " which Lodge was founded for the express purpose of rendering the mysteries of Freemasonry in " the native Gaelic tongue , " that tho liabilities of the Lodgo which necessitated the circular woro about £ 100 . The Provincial Grand Lodgo had expressed their strong disapproval oftho conduct of the officebearers
and other signatories of the letter , and expressed an opinion that a stop shonld be put to Lodges or brethren issuing begging letters or circulars , which wore excessively derogatory to tho Order . Tlio Grand Committee had approved of this report , aud recorded a voto of censure expressive of their reprehension of tho course which had beeu adopted with reference to tho petition ; and their procedure
was confirmed by Grand Lodge . A report from the Grand Lodgo of All Scottish Freemasonry in India showed also that tho Craft was prospering in that important region . The Special Committee on the designations of the Provinces of Berwick and Roxburgh shires and Peebles and Selkirk shires reported that the Grand Secretary had issued circulars to all tho
Lodges in these Provinces , but that only seven had replied ; and , looking to tho diversity of tho views entertained , the Committee recommended that , seeing Grand Lodge had had this matter under consideration so very recently , and that the views of the Lodges in the above Provinces wero not sufficiently matured , the last resolution should uot iu the meantime be altered . This was approved of . Grand
Committee reported that thoy had on their table a report from the Hall Committee ou a scheme for additional accommodation in Grand Lodge premises , which proposed an expenditure of about £ 300 , in order to afford more perfect scope for the working of tho several Ma . sonic degrees , and greater accommodation for Lodge property and stores , the want of which had from timo to time been subject of much
general complaint . The meeting then proceeded to the election of fifteen brethren to serve on the Grand Committee , in place of twelve who retired by rotation and three interim members . There were twenty-four brethren nominated , and tho following were elected , with the undernoted votes : —Bros . R . F . Shaw Stewart , Edinburgh , 234 ; William Maclean , Glasgow , 200 ; Wm .
