On Wednesday a dinner was given by the Order, at F.eemssons Hail, to testify the high sense of gratitude so jut,tl is due from the F ra ternity towards their beloved Brother, the Fart of Moira, pre vious to his departure as Governor-General of It cfai. It was attended not only by a numerous assemblage of Brethren resident in London, but by deputations from many of the Provincial Lodges of the most remote parts of the island. After a sumptuous; repast.the healths of the King and the Prince Regent were drunk with enthusiastic applause, the baud playing " God save the King," and the musical Gentlemen present singin.; that 10) al anthem, ano the song of " the Prince and Old Er gland for ever." The health of the Duke of York was next drunk,this was followed by the healths of the Dukes of Clarence, Kent, Cumberland and G i u• center. Thanks were returned by the Chairman, the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Kent. Lord : Moira proposed the health of the Royal Chairman the Duke of Sussex. His Royal Highness returned thanks in an appropriate speech. He expatiated on the private and roasonie virtues of the No ble Earl, and concluded by giving his health, as the friend of his Prince, the friend of his country, and the friend of the poor. Lord MoIRA, in an admirable address, acknowledged the honour done him. He commenced upon the honour they received from the presence of so many of the Royal Family, which evinced their love of the craft, and offered an example to the world, of the happiness of England, where princes joined in all the social relations of lite, and au. thority as in other countries, did not parch up and w ither the commu nion of mankind. He concluded with a most animated eulogy on the benefits of the Masonic institutions, and warmly inculcated their doc trines in every conditions of life. The Ladies who had been admitted to the gallery, to witness thiS splendid scene, among whom the Countess of Mora was conspicuous, now retired, and the Hall being cleared of strangers, at ten o'clock the Lodge was regularly opened and tr led. " The King and the Craft"—" The., Prince Regent, G rand Mas. ter;" and other standing toasts were drank. The Duke of Sussex then rose and in a warm panegyric upon the Noble Earl, invesred him with a jewel prepared fox the occasion and presented by the society of Masons, not as a mere recollection, but to carry with him as a bright star to lead hint to glory in India, and a at return to his admiring Brethren. The jewel, forming a most brilliant badge, was paraded round the Lodge, and finally su:pended about his Lordship's neck, who was thereupon called to the Chair, and returned thanks in a speech replete with feeling, energy, and eloquence. He would wear it, Ile •airt, as a monitor, sensible of his actions, to invite him to spread the philanthro pic and benevolent principles of Masonry over the vast country to which he was going ; and concluded by relating a beautiful Asiatic tale, in which a piece of perfumed earth, on being complimented, re plies, " Alas ! I am but common earth ; but, coming in con tact with a rose, I have borrowed its sweetness." Even so, he hoped he had borrowed the odours of the virtues, with . p(:s , esion of which they had been pleased t o c o mpliment hi m , t ro m coining in contact with their society. His gratitude and affection would only cease with the last pulse of life.—(l umults of A pplause) A great v iriety of appropriate, toasts and songs hallowed this. Lord Kinnaird, Sir John Doyle, and others, took occasion to deliver their sentiments to the Lodge, and the evening was concluded with the ut- atucKion.—reu. zu. tt . vw . yer i tate ut wyksciter, II most cormviality abd .
