to Bro . Joseph Starkey , of 23 , Conduit-street , Bond-street . The rich edges of the aprons are embroidered with pomegranate and Egyptian lotus , in the highest style of art , and with the greatest care and skill , the figures of the bag presenting rather the appearance of fine goldsmith's work than that produced from the needle . The great care and accurate taste with which

the whole of the work was carried out , both as to artistic design , workmanship , and quality of the materials employed , reflect great credit upon Bro . Starkey , and will at any rate satisfy the brethren that the art and mystery of the " Broderer " : is by no means lost .

Inauguration Of The New Masonic Hall And Buildings.

INAUGURATION OF THE NEW MASONIC HALL AND BUILDINGS .

On AVednesday last the great event which has for so long a period occupied the attention of the entire Masonic Craft of Great Britain , was celebrated in a manner commensurate with the interest which has been manifested in reference to it . Tho large hall was completely filled by members of the Craft from all parts of the kingdom , and the brilliancy of the scene is without a parallel in the history of Masonic proceedings . The

enrichments of the great hall , from henceforth destined to be devoted exclusively to the celebration of Masonic rites , must be described on some future occasion , but for the present it may suffice to say that the entire fittings are of the most gorgeous character , and it reflect the highest credit upon the Committee , by whom they have been carried to completion . We cannot refrain , however , from noticing now the splendid addition made to the Grand Lodge of those magnificent chairs formerly used by the Earl of Moira , and his predecessors , which were for some years laid aside , hut have now been redecorated , and were used for the first time on this occasion .

The time of meeting was named as four o'clock , and at that time the large nail was completely filled , although the proceedings were stated not to commence before half-past four o ' clock . At half-past four a procession was formed in the corridor on the ground floor , aud proceeded in the following order up the grand staircase and along the corridor to the great hall ,
