Foreign Masonic Intelligence.

Two Tylers , with drawn swords . Entered Apprentices , two by two . Fellow-Crafts , two by two . Master Masons , two by two . Two Stewards , with rods of office . Junior Guard ancl Secretary . Senior and Junior Wardens .

Bible-bearer . Depute Master . Worshipful Master . The Body , with three mourners on each side

The procession reached the residence of the deceased brother at ten o ' clock , and the Masonic funeral service was read by Master John C . " Lewis In a solemn and affecting manner . The Masonic apparel and jewel of the deceased were placed on the lid of the coffin , and the procession was again

formed in the order already mentioned , preceded by the constabulary body , and followed by merchants , public officers , planters , and other citizens , two by two , numbering upwards of 300 persons , independently of other parishioners to the extent of 1 , 500 males and females . The windows of houses in the

streets through which the procession passed were filled byrespectable families , all of whom manifested poignant regret at the death of a worthy member of the community . At the parish church the body was met by the Rev . Earnest A . Stewart , rector , the Order of procession having been reversed . " The Dead March in Saul " was played by the Organist ,

Mr . James Atkins , until the congregation , exceeding 2 , 000 persons , obtained seats in every part of the sacred edifice . The rector read the 90 th Psalm , at the end of which a chant was sung by the choir , and was followed by the reading of St . Paul ' s First Epistle to the Corinthians , 15 th chapter , commencing with the 20 th verse . The choir then sang the 298 th Hymn :-

—Beneath our feet and o ' er our head Is equal wanting given : Beneath us lie the countless , dead , Above us is the Heaven !" The Organist played a solemn funeral march while the body was being removed from the church

to the placeof interment , where the concluding portion of the burial service was read by the rector . The Worshipful Master ofthe Athol Union Lodge then delivered a short and appropriate address to his assembled brethren , and thus closed the sorrowful ceremonies of the day .

T he church bell tolled while the procession moved on to the church , the flags of all the vessels in the harbour were half-masted , and at nine o ' clock thc stores and shops in the town were closed in respect for the deceased , of whom it may be truly said he made many friends and never had an enemy . The

largs number of persons of all classes belonging to Trelawny and the parishes of St . Ann , St . James , and Hanover , who mournfully followed the remains of Mr . John D'Souza to their last resting-place on earth , afforded evidence of thc fact that he lived esteemed and died regretted by all who were

acquainted with his many excellent qualities . In commercial transactions he was a man of strict integrity ; he bore the reputation of a fond husband and father , a dutiful son and affectionate brother , and a sincere friend ; and to the poor and afflicted ofhis fellow-creatures , " he had ever a tear forpity ,

and a hand open as day for melting charity . " We sympathise with his parents , wife , child , and other relatives to whom he was endeared , in their sad bereavement , and we trust that they will be sustained in their affliction by Him , " Whose Name is Love . "

[ From the St . George ' s Chronicle , July I . ] A Masonic Ball , at Mount Moriah , came off w ' t ' i eclat on Thursday evening . Never , in our memory , has there been so successfully got up and carried through an entertainment of the sort . From an early hour of the evening , the parties invited began

to arrive , and were received by the R . W . M ., Mrs . Aird , and thc Stewards : and at about 8 p . m . dancing commenced , and was kept up with scarcely any intermission until a little after midnight . We observed a large number of members of " Caledonia " present , ancl as all of thc Craft in

attendance were properly clad , the effect of thc first entertainment of the description given in Grenada will not soon be forgotten . At supper—which certainly was most elegant and sumptuous—the company also enjoyed themselves ; and , in discussing the good things provided , the time was

spent in the full enjoyment of that rational festivity and social harmony which should always prevailmore especially upon such occasions—amongst those who " meet upon the Level and part upon the Square . " After supper , thc toasts proposed " from the chair , " by the Worshipful Master , were

" The Queen and the Craft , " " Our Brother , the Prince of Wales , and the rest of the Royal Family , " "The Grand Masters of England , Ireland , and Scotland , " and last , though not least . " The Ladies . " Dancing was resumed at 1 . 30 , and kept up until gunfire . The meeting then separated

all who had been present being , " happy to meet , sorry to part , and happy to meet again . "

SOUTH AMERICA . [ From the Callao and Lima Gazette , June 2 S . J There is no institution , however pure the motives that gave it birth , or however great the usefulness which it displays , that is not open to detraction . It has been eloquently said that , ' - 'It is a grovelling

taste to delight in distinguishing great characters by their faults alone : in tracing an eagle ' s flight by its earthly shadow . " As of men , so of institutions , which are the work of men—all are open to detraction . Among the many , perhaps none more so than Freemasonry , than which no society was

ever founded with loftier objects and upon more honourable principles . Those who decry it are ignorant of its character , or who have the misfortune not to be able t , appreciate it . The public newspaper is not a fitting medium to discuss the beauties of the noble Order which stands as the

solid rock m the civilised world , against which even detraction is powerless , since its ever-swelling stream diverges into broken rivulets as itapproaches in its course the iron shores that protect the beacon light to men . There are many thousands of Freemasons in this

important republic , and their number increases , we might say , daily . It is an Order that needs no defence , for it knows no crimes and heeds no fears . True , like all societies , it has its abuses , for " where ' s that palace whereinto foul things sometimes intrude not ? " But the abuses ofthe

Institution are not inherent in , but foreign to , the Order , It would be well for mankind if practical Freemasonry were to influence worldly transactions more than it does ; if its sublime principles were more universally followed and its solemn injunctions more scrupulously observed .

To-day we willingly devote a portion of our space to chronicle the great celebrations which have taken place in Lima and Callao , since it is well that the administrations of the several lodges in the two cities , for the current year , should be known . It is a mistaken notion that such celebrations are in

themselves Freemasonry , and that all that is good in the Order is to be found at the convivial board . It is not so . The banquet affords only the occasion on which the Order may be known by those who arc not of it . Nor is it within the portals of the building consecrated to Masonry that the virtues of

the Institution are displayed—itiswithin the human heart that the sacred altar is built ; it is in the human breast where the principles are actively at work , and it is in the outward work of the true Mason that the beauties of the ancient Order arc practically exemplified . Whether Freemasonry will

make a bad man good is certainly problematical ; but that it will make a good man better will not be denied by those who know its obligations and its powers . It is indeed the " oxygen of thc moral world , " and has a purifying and healthful influence

wherever it is known—and where is it not known ? It is the handmaid of civilisation itself ; it is built on the foundation of charity , and should be judged not by the weaknesses of its followers—for all are human—but by the strength , force , and power of its principles and by the God-like attributes it

possesses . The advance of such an institution in any community must be be satisfactory to those who can appreciate it , as we hope we can , and it will not ,

therefore , wc trust , be deemed out of place by even the uninitiated that we should , on the recurring periods of festivities of thc Brotherhood , devote a small portion of our space to the notice of an Institution honoured from time-immemorial .

GRAND CELEBRATIONS IN LIMA AND CALLAO . On Saturday , June 24 th ( St . John's Day ) , in accordance with thc ancient usages of the Order , the newly-elected officers for the present Masonic year were duly installed by the Grand Master of Peru , Senor Don Bias Alzamora , 33 , assisted by several

members of the Grand Lodge . Similar ceremonies took place in Callao on the following day . The subjoined are the names of the lodges and their officers : — Ordeny Libertad , No . 2 . —Worshipful Master , John Meiggs ; 1 st Warden , Arthur M . Wholcy ;

2 nd Warden , Rios y Negron ; Chaplain , M . Stu . Marie ; Sect ., Aurelio Alfaro ; Treasurer , Gilbert , Brandin ; Master of Ceremonies , B . Prieur ; Tyler , C .

Solorzano ; Treasurer , J . A . Serdio ; Master of Ceremonies , J . B . Saavedra ; Treasurer of Poor Fund , Jose Cases . Orden y Reforma , No . 7 . —Worshipful Master , Ricardo Palma ; Senior Warden , J . B . Fuentes ; Junior Warden , M . Miranda ; Chaplain , Aurelio

Alfaro ; Sect . J . Fuentes ; Treasurer , M . Denegn . Cosmos . — Worshipful Master , G . Hohagen ; Senior Warden , C . E . Jones ; Junior Warden , C , Davis ; Chaplain , G . A M . Mejer ; Sect . N . Evans ; Treasurer , Asker ; Master of Ceremonies , J . Osborne ; Tyler , Johnson ; Treasurer of Poor Fund ,

D . Newman . After the conclusion of the ceremonies of installation , upwards of three hundred and fifty brethren sdt down at three separate grand banquets . Previously , however , the poor were admitted within the gates of the Temple , and the sum of one hundred

and fifty soles was distributed amongst them . Several poor brethren and other applicants for charity were voted sums of money for their immediate wants . The greatest harmony reigned amongst the brethren , and brilliant speeches were made upon the

occasion . What added much to the solemnity of the proceedings was the reincorporation by a decree of the Grand Lodge of the symbolic lodge " Paz y Orden , " that had from some motives not properly understood by its members become irregular , and was so declared ; but the true spirit of

Masonry was here manifested—the past was forgotten , and its erring brethren welcomed back to the fold . The three banquets were under the respective direction of Aro . Rotalde , of the Hotel Morin , the

second under Gatillon , of the Hotel Anglais , and the third under Bundichon , in the Calle de Mantas . As may be well supposed , the three grand caterers did their best to outvie each other , and they succeeded to the entire satisfaction of the brethren , Thc feast lasted until eight in the evening .

On Sunday another new lodge in Lima was installed by the Grand Master , under name of " Alianza y Firmeza . " The following are the officers to whom thc charter has been granted : —

Worshipful Master , Diamsio Derteano ; Senior Warden , E . Corrochno ; Junior Warden , E . Plazolles ; Chaplain , J . Nuvarro ; Secretary , D , Ysquerdo ; Treasurer , J . Mirandu ; Master of Cere « monies , Bethancourt ; Tyler , Belogron .

The installation was quite a brilliant affair , and after the ceremony a most sumptuous banquet was served to the brethren who assisted .

CONCORDIA UNIVERSAL ( CALLAO ) . The installation of the Worshipful Master and officers of thc Lodge Concordia Universal , of this city , took place on Sunday , the 25 th inst . On the occasion there was a very large attendance of the members of the lodge and visiting brethren . The

ceremonies within the lodge , which are known only to thc " free and accepted , " were performed in a mannner highly creditable to the Worshipful Master and those of the lodge who aided him . The following is the administration of the " Concordia Universal" for thecurrent term : —Worshipful

Master , Enrique A . Ziegler ; Senior Warden , Lucio Richardson ; Junior Warden , Fredcrico Rivera ; Orator , Nicolas Chiuliza ; Assistant Orator , Estervan Dafiino ; Principal Secretary , Gil . Antonio Toledo ; Assistant Secretary , Pablo Bocanegra ; Treasurer , Sylveno Cavalie ; Senior Steward ,

Alejandro Marsan ; Junior Steward , Alejandro Herran ; Master of Ceremonies , Leopold de Caila ; Assistant Master of Ceremonies , Luis Kiffer ; Steward of Charity Fund , Jose" Origio ; Senior Deacon , Juan I . Plunkctt ; Junior Deacon , Fredcrico Jansohn ; Inner Tyler , Eduardo Lee ; Outer Tyler , Vicente

Molina . The brethren retired from labour to refreshment , and partook of a splendid banquet , presided over by the Worshipful Master , who was supported on cither side by worthy and distinguished brethren , high in the Order . About eighty guests were present , who did ample justice to thc repast . There

were , of course , the usual loyal toasts , and some very excellent speeches were made . It is gratifying to notice that Freemasonry is taking a firm hold in Peru , and that , despite the few ignorant men who decry it , it is advancing with rapid strides , as it is in all other partsof theciviliscd world .

HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS . — Bilious affections and stomach complaints induced by atmospheric heat or too liberal diet , if not at once checked , are often attended with serious consequences . When any one finds his ideas less clear than usual , his eyesight dimmed , and his head dizzy , while he is indisposed for all exertion , physical or

mental , he may be sure that he is in immediate need of some coolin ;; and purifying medicine . Let him send at once for a box of Holloway's Pills , after a few doses of which his head will be clear -gain , his spirits be elevated , and all his energies be restored . Printed directions for the guidance of patients in the use of this admirable medicine , are affixed lo each box , —[ Advt . ]
