under the auspices of our esteemed and excellent Bro . RoAvland Alston , are declaratory of the prosperity of the Essex Lodges ; whilst the splendour and dignity of the Dorset meeting , under the presidency of our worthy Brother , William Tucker , clearly prove that the Order is losing nothing of its beneficial effects in
that part of the country . In Cheshire , Bro . Lord Viscount Combermere has again proved himself to be a worthy representative of the M . W . the G .

the Prov . G . M . of the Channel Islands , for the future and permanent defence of one of the most important harbours of the British dependencies .
But perhaps the greatest cause for congratulation yet remains to be mentioned—the installation , in the Province of Staffordshire , of Lieut . Col . Vernon , as the successor of Maj . Gen . Anson , the late worthy and much-respected G . M ., who having accepted a high military appointment at Bombay , has been
