Masonic Notes .

Grand Festival , which was held on Wednesday under the presidency of Bro . the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe , Dep . G . Master , passed off , as usual , most successfully . There was a full attendance of Grand Officers and brethren , and those who had been selected to wear the coveted " Purple " for the ensuing year

were greeted with the greatest cordiality as they advanced to the elais for the purpose of being invested with the insignia of their respective offices . We arc not sanguine enough to expect that the appointments which have been made will give universal satisfaction , but a glance at the list of the new officers and at the

record of the services waich they have severally rendered to Freemasonry will satisfy all reasonable men that the M . VV . G . Master has acted with his usual judgment , and appointed omy those who merit honour by length of service and the time and attention they have devoted to their Masonic duties , or who AU ! I confer

For full particulars of the proceedings in Grand Lod ^ e and at the banquet which followed , as well as of the services of the newly-invested Grand Officers , we refer our readers to another part of our columns .

An attempt was made at the Quarterly General Court of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys on Friday , the 19 th instant , to amend Law 95 , which places Ihe responsibility of fixing the salaries of the Secretary , He-ad Master , Medical Officer , and Matron

on the Council of the Institution . A resolution was proposed to insert in the final clause of the said law ( lie words , " unless recommended by the Board of Management , " so that , had the motion been carried , the clause would have read " but no motion for the increase or diminution uf any saluiy shall bu e-iitei-
