The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
THE CHARITIES . —Masonic benevolence progresses iu earnest . The Boys' festival , on tho 13 th , realized Jive hundred pounds ! We need say no more . The honours of the day were ably shared by the Chairman , Bro . B . B . Cabbell , and Bro . Shaw , the President of the Board of Stewards . The Girls' Festival is fixed for the 35 th May
, and that for the Asylum for the 19 th of June : may the results on each occasion be equally productive , both in profit and pleasure . We understand that Col . the Hon . George Anson , M , P ., Prov . Grand Master for Staffordshire , has kindly consented to preside at the Asylum Festival ; but the name of the Chairman for the festival for the Girls '
School has not transpired . It is gratifying to be able to state that the prosperity of all the charities is steadily advancing .
MASONIC OFFERING TO DR . OLIVER . —The presentation day is not yet fixed . Some delay has occurred on the part of the artist ; and the indisposition of our revered friend may also be reasonably assigned for a postponement . OUR OBITUARY presents an awful discount on the account
current of passing events . Many excellent Brothers have settled the claims of mortality , and we that survive may breathe a hope that , at the final audit , their last accounts may , " errors excepted , " be favourably passed by the recording Angel . To the list elsewhere recorded , we have to add the demise of the late King of Sweden ( Charles John ) in
, , the 81 st year of his age , after a reign of thirty-four years . He was one of Napoleon ' s marshals—all of whom were Freemasons . The late king , as well as his son , the present monarch , were patrons of the Order in the Kingdom of Sweden .
