MASONRY.
MASONRY. Thursday se'nnigbt being the day appointed for lay- ing the foundation stone of the Granby Lodge Rooms, Durham, the Right Worshipful Provincial Grand Master, Sir R. Milbanke, Bart. accompanied by the past and present Grand Officers, and a great number of Brethren, went, at two o'clock, in masonic proces- sion, from the Lodge, to the site of the intended building, preceded by the Durham Volunteer band, &c. The stone being raised, the P. Grand Treasuser read aloud the following inscription on the plate:- The first Stone of the Granby Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, was laid the 25th October, and the 51st year of the Reign of George III. A. D. 1810. Sir R. Milbanke, Bart. P. G. M. Alex. Logan, Esq. D. P. G. NI. Thomas Hardy, S. G. W. John Bowman, J.G. W. Christopher Ebown, G. A. Thomas Richardson, BnHdr" The P. G. Master then adjusted tne cement, and the stone was let down into its place, when he put into the cavity various Coins of his prestnt Majesty, with a Jubilee Medal on the completion of the 50th year of his reign. The plate was then soldered down while the band played. The P. G. Master then tried the work by the plumb, rule, level, and square, and on his finding it correct, laid the stone by giving it three distinct knocks with his mallet. The corn, wine, and oil, being then presented, hf" mingled and poured them upon the stone. He then addressed the Lodge in an appropriate and most energetic speech; after which he presented the plan to Brother Richardson, desiring him to complete the structure accordingly, wishing success and prosperity to the work, and the particular object of it.—Brother Blackett, as P. G. Chaplain, then delivered an excellent masonic oration after which the D. P. G. M. closed the ceremony of laying the foun(iation-stone. -God save the King was then played by the band, the Brethren standing un- covered, which was followed by three times thret Chee's. The procession was afterwards continued to the Wheat Sheaf, Frammel-g te, where upwards of 50 Brethren sat down to an excellent dinner provided by Brother Ward after which many appropriate toasts were drank with great enthusiasm, pttticut. r y that of the 11 King and the Craft, with many happy rturns of the day to our beloved Sovereign." It is almost su- perfluous to add, that the evening was spent in thtt harmony, peace, and brotherly love, which always characterize the festive meetings of this most ancient and honourable Society.
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. It is a circumstance highly honourable to this, or to any other Goverment, that a French sean'an, who was taken in a privateer in the West Indies, was liberated and sent to his native country, in one of the late car tels for Motlaix, because, on his passage from the West Indies, in the Fylla, he jumped overboard and saved the life of a British seaman who had accidentally fallen fiom the yard arm. In the reign of Edward the first, the price of a fair. written Bible was 371. The hire of a labourer was three half pence a day the purchase of a copy would, of course, have taken such a person the earnings of 4,$00 days, or 13 years and 55 days-and, excluding Sundays, something more than 15 years and + months of constant labour would have been required to com pass the price. Singular Phenomenon.An island made its appear- ance on the 30th of August last, in the centre ot Tarn Waddlan, near Hesket in the Forest, in Cumberland. It is several yards distance from either side, and has retained its local situation, without the least alteration whatever. It is probable it has arisen from the bottom, as no traces can be found of its separation from the main land. Cobbett'sHoax -We mentioned in a preceding Jour- nal that Jeffery, the seaman, who was left on the island of Sombrero, had arrived in London. It is crrious that on the same evenn,, that the London papers an- nounced this fact, Cobbett's Register contained a la- boured article, the object of which was to prove, that it was impossible for that unfortunate fellow to be alive. He then relates the following hoax which he himself once practised I must confess, that the producing of an American paper, with the par-g-^aph in it. would not go far towards making me believe Jeffery to be alive. When I published a daiiy paper at Philadelphia, 1 was acquainted with a worthy old quaker, named Robert Varee, whose only failing was that of an insatiable cu- riosity, which led him to be eternally asking for NEWS, and especially news from England. It was my custom to pass every Saturday night and Sunday at another quaker's, about 12 miles from the city, and about a mile from Robert's house and, upon a certain occa- sion, not having any English news for him, a neigh- bour of mine, who was going out with me one Satur- day evening, and who was also a friend of Robert, -stigrgesttd the idea of making some for him. This he did in a paragraph, stating that the Princess of Wales had been brought to bed of three sons; that the assis- tants, in their hurry and anxiety, had so handed them about from one to the other, that, at last, neither of them could tell which was born first j and, of course, there might rise a disputed title fo the crown, whence might come strife and fightings and bloodshed without end! !—The paragraph W3S printed in one copy of the news paper, and then it was taken out, and the rest of the edition printed off with something else in the place of that paragraph. When Robert had read the piper, and was gone home, we put it in the fire, and left him to propogate the con rents for miles roun I the country, with an effect that will, I dare say, be still remembered amongst the hospitable and good humoured people of that part of Pensylvania. STRANGE JUBILEE !-Every iith year in the city of Queticare is ajubilee kept tot he honour of their idol, in which the king of that place, upon a scaffold covered with silk, before the people, washeth himself, then prayeth to the idol, and having I ut off his nose, ears lips, and other parts AT LAST CUTS HIS OWN THROAT as a sacrifice to his idol. His successor, by their disci pline, ie bound to be present, and to act the same tragedy on hirmelf at the next jubilee J ACTOllS ME MORIES.On Thursday 'le'n'liighlt,dut- ing the performance of the West ln4iwoiit the Ly- ceum, the following singular scene occurred John- stone, who sustained the pirt of Major O-Flaherty, was called upon for his well known song of the Sprtg 91 Shillelah, and prepared to give it immediately, with the utmost alacrity and good humour; but when the band had gone through the symphony, he stood silent and confused, and apparently in great distress the music went through the symphony again, and the same si- lence, confusion, and apparent distress appeared in an increased degree—again the music went through the j symphony, to the utter astonishment of the audience, who knew not how to understand the matter John- stone, however, came forward and addressed them in his frank and humorous way Ladies and Gentle- men, I am infinitely distressed, but really it seems I have sun? the song so often that I have forgot the first line. "-The house immediately rung with a burst of hearty laughter—peals of applause greeted the favour- ite and removed his confusion—and a hundred voices prompted him with the line for which he was at a loss, and he went through the song with great applavse. Mr. John Kemble once laboured under the same embarrasn e it on a provincial theatre. In performing the character of Macheth, he forgot the first line of the celebrated speech, Is this a dagger;" and though he bad made the preliminary start, he was unable to proceed with the soliloquy, and was obliged to retire for a few moments, 4 j Jeffery,'fhe'teaman* reached Polperro, in Cornwall, whtre^iijj family inside, on Thursday se'nnight. The meeting bet-wixt him and his mother was extremely affecting and impassioned. The whole village came > out tb'greet him on his arrival. Jeffery repeatedly de- t dared that the kind attention and generosity of the Lake family, particularly of Mr. W. Lake, (uncle of the Captain) would never be effaced from his memory —-that he entirely forgave Captain Lake himself, and otill take him by the hand with sincere good will if he were on the spot, and imputed his conduct to a violent impulse of passion, for which he probably con- demned himself when he had time for proper reflection. There is now living in the gardens belonging to the Bishop's Palace, at Peterborough, a Land Tartvise, which is ascertained to have been there Two Hundred Years and upwards. The upper shell is about twelve or fourtee-n inches long and about nine broad, the neck has all the appearance of extreme old age, the the sight of one of its eyes is gone, the other aeemt bright and very lively, the inside of the mouth, as well as the tongue;s a fu!l pink cotour it has no teeth, but masticates with its gums, which are of a boney substance; the legs and feet are covered (like the head) with sca'es, and are so strong that it will walk, or rather crawl, with a considerable weight on its back, and seemingly with ease. In the early part of summer it in general feeds upon lettuces and when the fruit becomes ripe it crawls under the goosebeirjr busies and picks off what is on the lower branches and the fruit it cannot reach is amply supplied by the frequent company and the gardeners, from whose hand, it receives what is given it with great gentle- ness. Towards Michaelmas, and sometimes earlier, it buries itself in the earth, where it remains till the fol- lowing spring in a few days after it hath made this annual descent, by finding the depth with a stick, a tolc-able accurate judgment can be formed of the m Idness or severity of the ensuing winter. SUICIDE.—Last week a Sheriff's officer, of the name of Beard, accompanied by his follower, went to bed in the Slaughter Coffee-house. St. Martin,s-lane, into which they had watched a gentleman, against w hom they had a writ for a considerable sum on the preceding night. The officer sent up to the gentle- man early in the morning, who informed the follower, that if he would take some refreshment in the Coffee- room he would soon be down; but having waited for his dressing himself some time, the officer went up, and the gentleman swallowed a cup of arsenic in his presence. He died in half an hour; and a surgeon who attended pronounced the arsenic to have been the second dose. A few weeks ago, a man who lived in the neigh- bourhood of St. Helen's, and who had parted with his wife in consequence of some disagreement, in a fit of desperation at her refusing to return to him, cut the throats of his three children, who were left at home with him, and afterwards committed the same violence on himself !-At first the lives of all of them were de- spaired of, but one of the children and the father are now iikely to recover. The other two children died almost immediately. A funeral of a very extraordinary kind lately took place at Lome Furnace. A man of the name of Wil- son Hooper directed by his will, that he should be bu- ried in a suit of his best clothes, with his hat, boots, &c. Allthis was strictly attended to, with a trivial exception. The boots being new, could not, for an obvious reason; be put upon his legs and as it was not deemed proper that they should be anywise cut, or that he should go without them, it was resolved to throw them into the coffin above him. The Countess of Annesley has been tried at the Dublin Sessions, on a charge of bigamy. She was more fortunate than the I.-tt Duchess of Kingston under si- milar circumstances. Her alledged marriage with a Martin Connor, gardener to the Earl of ^nnesUarj deceased, was established by the evidence of Mn. M'Veagh, who was present nt the ceremony, and who stated that the prisoner was married by the name of Sophia Kelly, to Martin Connor, twenty,one years ago j but that a few months after their marriage, Lord An- nesley becom ng enamoured with the wite of his gar- Z, dener carried her off to Dublin, where they lived to- gether, his Lordship making the gardener some com- pensation for his loss. Some years after, believing Connor to be dead, Lord A. mairied the prisoner, by whom there is a son living. M'Veagh, in her evidence, said, she had seen the first husband, Connor, half an hour before she was examined. No evidence of the second mairiage with the Earl being produced, proved fatal to the indictment, for though the prisoner nxould. have admitted thefart, it was not allowed by the Court, she having pleaded Not guilty. The Judge iii the Jury, stated that the first mainage had nee a, ptoved but that of the illegal m ri lag-, no proof had been given and directed the Jury to acquit the pri- I soner—who was acquitted accordingly.
