having read his appointment by telegram from Bro Toxward, D.G.M., and the oilicers named in the warrant of dispensation having been accepted by the brethren of the Remuera Lodge the Lodge was then solemnly constituted by the' Acting Deputy District Grand Master, Bro. Leers. The Chaplain then read Psalm xcv., verses 1 to 7, and offered up the first prayer of consecration. The anthem, "To Heaven's High Architect All Praise" having been sung by all? the brethren in excelleut voice, accompanied by Bro. Rees, A.D.G.L., the ceremony of sprinkling the Lodge with water was performed, and the consecration ceremony concluded with the hymn, " Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty." The Invocation ceremony then commenced, the A.D.f-.M. bearing corn, and two Past-Masters, with wine and oil, form ing a procession round the Lodge to solemn music, halting in the East, where corn was scattered over the Lodge, consecrating it to Freemasonry. Grand honours were then given, and the ode, " Hail Masonry 1 Thou Craft Divine," was sung by the brethren. The proces sion then moved a second time round the Lodge, and wine was poured on the floor, consecrat ing the Lodge to Virtue. Grand honours wore then repeated twice, and after tho singing of the ode, "Come, holy Virtue, by whose aid," the procession moved a third time round the Lodge, and the A.D.D.G.M. consecrated the Lodge to Universal Benevolence, by anointing it with oil. Grand honours having been given thrice, the ode to charity, commencing "Come, Charity, with goodness crowned," was sung by the Brethren, incense was borne round the Lodge, salt, strewn on the floor, and the Chaplain road Levi, ii., verse 13. The A.D.D.G.M. then solemnly consecrated the Lodge to Freemasonry. Virtue, and Universal Benevolence. After the consecration prayer, grand honours were given Aye times, and the members of the Remuera Lodge saluted the Grand Lodge. The Acting Director of Coremo nifts, Bro. Skinner, by command of the A.D.D.G.M,. then formally proclaimed Lodge Remuera. The Chaplain read 1 Kings, viii, verses 22, 23, 26, to 30, 60, and ix, 3, 5. The con cluding anthem, "Hail Masonry Divine," was sung with great spirit and pleasing effect by the brethren.

The regular meeting of Lodge Remuera was then held, when Bro. William Lodder. P.M., 689, W.M. elect, was installed according to ancient custom. The following officers of Lodge Remuera were also installed : —Bros. H. Rees George, S.W.; H. Haase, J.W. ; W. Rattray, S.; Saxton, J. D.; Hewson, S.D.; J. Martin, 1.G.; W. J. T. Bell, Treasurer. The ceremony of installation having been con cluded, the Lodge was closed in the usual man ner, and the brethren enjoyed a short respite preparatory to THE BANQUET,

Which was laid out in the lodge-room with great taste, under the superintenco of Bro. and Host Cunningham, assisted by the worthy hostess, Mrs Cunningham. The spread was one of the best of the kind that has been laid in Auckland for some time past, and reflected infinite credit on the cuisine resources of tho establishment, more especially in that department in which the taste and skill of the 'adies were most conspicuous. Everything being in readiness, the brethren to the number of about forty assembled in the room, the officers of Remuera Lodge taking their assigned positions. Bro. Lodder, W.M., had on his right Bro. Walker, W.M., Lodge St Andrew, and on his left Bro. Leers, A.D , D.G.M.; the croupiers being Bro. Ree3 and Bro. G. S. Graham. The vice-chair was occupied by Bro. Rees George. The brethren having partaken of tho viands, which -were of the most recherche description, and tastefully served up, the tables were cleared, and the usual loyal Masonic toasts were proposed from the chair, and received with Masonic honours, and the National Anthem; Bro. Rees presiding at the piano. Bro. Lodder then read a letter from Bro. the Hon F. Whitaker, regretting his absence, owing to pressure of business, and forwarding his hearty good wishes; also a letter from Bro. G. P. Pierce, stating that he was compelled by indisposition to remain away, but giving his hearty good wishes on behalf of the Grand Lodge, I.C. Brother Graham, in proposing the toast of " The Grand Master. E.C.H.R.H., the Prince of Wales," said he hoped the brethren would have the honor of seeing him in New Zealand before long. He (Bro. Graham) remembered when his father owned about 100 acres at Newmarket, and they thought he had made his fortune when he sold it for £8 an acre. He did not say this in mere boast, but to shew what great strides the district had made in a few years. He never expected to see the day when fifty masons would assemble on that spot (applause). The toast was drunk with enthusiasm, the brethren singing, "God bless the Prince of Wales."

Bro, Lodder .proposed " The Grand Masters S,C. and J.C. the Duke of Abercorn, and Sir Michael Robert Stewart."

Drunk with Masonic honours,

Bro. Sharland sang in excellent voice " The monks of old."

Bro. Brewer proposed "The three District Grand Masters." Men who had attained to such high and honorable positions must have exhi bited many good, amiable, and social qualities. Drunk with Masonic honours-

Bro. Lodder sang with good effect "When other lips and other hearts." Bro. Leers proposed " The W. M. of Lodge Remuera." Ho had no doubt that under the direction of an old and tried master like Bro. Lodder, the Remuera Lodge could not fail to be one of the most prosperous and efficient lodges in New Zeal and.

Drunk with Macduff honours,

Bro, Rees George then sang '* The British Lion" very tastefully. Bro. Lodder thanked the brethren for the toast, and for the expression of confidence reposed in him by electing him to the office of W.M. for the ensuing year. Some had said that the new Lodge would weaken the other Lodges in Auckland, but he believed it would have a contrary effect, and that it had before it a pros pective career of long and great usefulness. He believed that meetings like this were the means of infusing new life into the craft, and had a tendency to stir up that masonic feeling which ought to animate every Freemason. He was an enthusiastic Mason, and he regarded the new lodge in Remuera as another step in the accom plishment of that universal brotherhood which was the aim of Masonry. He knew they would have an anxious time of it during the first 12 months, but he believed all difficulties would be surmounted, and that the Lodge would do much good. He would like to see every man a Mason, but this could not be. He would give the right hand of fellowship to any brother, no matter how poor, so long as he was honest. (Applause). He then proposed, "The A.D.G.M. Bro. P.tVI. Leers," and referred in high terms to the able and courteous manner in which Bro. Leers gave his services in open ing, assisting, and instructing new and young lodges. He was always ready to sacrifice time and labour iv the cause of Masonry. The toast, was received with Macduff honours. Glee—" O'er the Downs so free," Bros. Rees, Sharland, Saxton, and George. Bro. Leers, in responding, said it always gave him pleasure to assist in the furtherance of Masonry. He esteemed the inauguration of a new Lodge a very high honour, more especially in the case of a Lodge like Remuera, which was under the auspices of some of the most influen tial Masons in the district. Ho believed it would be regarded with pride by its promoters, and would be one of the best Lodges in the colony. This had been aver/ favourable year to Masonry. There was the Corinthian Lodge at the Thames, then the Remuera, and before long he hoped to have the honour of opening a new Lodge at Mahuranid, under the English Con stitution. He had b_en much indebted to the able assistance rendered by Bro. Nelson and Bro. Skinner, for the success of the ceremony. He had intended to propose the toast of their health, but as they were not present they would take the will for the deed. Bro. Rees George proposed "The Sister Lodges," and acknowledge! the valuable aid rendered by the visiting brethren in carrying out the ceremony. He coupled the toast with the name of Bro. Walker. The toast was drunk wi-h Macduff honours. Bro. Haase sang most effectively, " Pulling hard against the stream." Bro. Walker, in responding, said he hoped the time was not far distant, when they would be able to propose the toast of " The Mother Lodge." Bro. Cole also responded on behalf of Lodge Waitemata. , Bro. Burns, in responding, complimented the brethren of Lodge Remuera, for the regulation and precision which had characterised the inaugural ceremony. It was a good example to many old Lodges in the city. Bro. Haase briefly returned thanks. He pro posed " The visiting brethren, coupled with the name of Bro. P. M. Rees." Drunk with "Hand, heart, and badge." Bro. Sharland sang very feelingly, "My own little Kathleen "

Bro. Rees, in responding, said if Lodge Remu era always treated visiting brethren as -well as this evening, they would have great pleasure in coming, He congratulated them upon having the services of such a splendid installing officer as Bro. Leers. Bro. Walker proposed " The Officers of Lodge Remuera." With such efficient officers, and Bro. Lodder as W.M.—all Masons of the. right stamp—the Lodge Gould not fail to be efficient. The toast was drunk with all the Masonic honours.

Bro. Rattray sang " The land of dreams." Bro. Rees George, in responding, said the confidence expressed in Remuera Lodge would not be misplaced. Bros. Haase, Rattray, Hewson, and Saxton also returned thanks.

Bro. Lodder proposed "The Host and Hostess," and spoke in high terms of the manner in Which the banquet had been prepared. Drunk wdth Gaelic honours.

Bro Cuningham responded in suitable terms. Bro. Wethery sang " Never mind the rest." Sro. Burns proposed " Bro. Gledbill," an old P.M., of Lodge United Service, the first senior of the Mark Lodge in New Zealand, Past King of the Royal Arch Chapter, and one who had laboured assiduously iD the cause of Masonry. Drunk with " He's a jolly good fellow." Bro. Geldhill responded. He said it afforded Mm great pleasure to see present that evening Bro. G. S. Graham, the W. M. who had initiated Mm tyto the mysteries of Freemasonry, Brj. Saxton sang ,' The Arab Steed.-* ty®, gfeufi&nd proposed " The Uwiesr w ivtel.

wj»s drunk with enthusiasm, and "Here's a health to all good lasses." Bro. Rattray, in a humourous speech, thanked the brethren on behalf of the ladies. He said the Lodgo was much indebted to the kind assis tance of Mrs Lodder and Mrs Haase for the beautiful decorations of the hall. Bro. Lodder proposed " The choir—Bros. Rees, Sharland, Saxton, and Rees George," which was duly honored and responded to. Bro. C. O. Montrose sang "There'll be time enough for that, says T." Bro. Leers proposed the toast of "Poor and distressed masons in all parts of the world, which was drunk with marks of sympathy.

After some more singing, the brethren separ ated at a comparatively early hour, after spend ing a most enjoyable and profitablo re-union, which will long be remembered with pleasure.

THE TIMBER TRADE.

For the benefit of those who are engaged in the important timber trade, we append a brief report of the market during the past month. During that period sawn timber has been firm, the stoppage of one or two mills on the East Coast for -want of logs in consequence of the dry weather, having had a tendency to render tho market firmer, but though there has been a disposition to advance prices, no actual advance has been established. Baulk timber has been in heavy supply, with comparatively small demand, and though the local trade is still maintained, quota tions from other colonies are not favourable. Messrs Loyd and Hughes, timber brokers, of Melbourne, 'in the last monthly circular state " The arrivals of Oregon and Kauri continuo heavy, much exceeding our requirements; but toe market has only been fed as wanted, and prices have been well maintained. Our stocks of these descriptions of timber are rapidly accu mulating, and nothing but firm holding can pre vent serious losses being made by importers. In the same circular are the following quotations : Kauri Pine.—lmports; 1,161,917 feet super. The arrivals have been the Birchgrove, Glimpse, and Byron, from Hokianga; Thomas and Henry, Roderick Dhu. and Nightingale, from Kaipara. The parcel ex Thomas and Henry, was sold on second instant. Sawn flitches realised from 41s to lis 3d per 100 feet super; flooring, 9s to 12s per 100 feet lineal, The Roderick Dhu's cargo, consisting of dressed timber, was sold yesterday. Shelving realised £10 15s to £11 l 2 6d; flooring, 9s 6d to 10s 3d : undressed planking, 20s to 22s 3d. The Birchgrove's cargo of hewn logs was offered at same time, when 12s 6d was the best bid. which was declined. It may be mentioned that during the recent visit of Mr Young, the Cana dian Commissioner to Dunedin, his attention was drawn to a quantity of logs imported from the United States, which timber ho recognised as Canadian timber, brought from Canada to the United States, remarked, and exported as American timber. Mr Young was confidant that timber could bo imported direct from Canada much more cheaply than from the United States, and he was also of opinion that " notions " of all kinds, and mechanical manu factures could be imported from Canada with great advantage.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day.

OIIINEMURI PIGEONGRAM

The following pigeongram has been re ceived from Ohinemuri :—Waitekanri arc 10 ft. into the reef in the low level, showing gold all through. Crushing looking re markably well.

Young New Zealand took out good stone on Monday and yesterday. Tuesday broke down very rich stone. Show still improves

MOANATAIRI,

It is currently reported that the Moana tairi rich run is disappearing. Probably the manager's telegram will furnish the most reliable information.

THE PIAKO.

The "Advertiser" says:—" The low level in the Piako mine continues to improve. Several persons experienced in the Waio-karaka reefs visited the mine, and reported most favourably of the payable appearance of the reef going both ways in. There was a considerable demand till late at night, closing with buyers at 16s. We understand that a number of local investors afraid of the Loan Compauy swamping the market with reserve shares, have made inquiry, and as far as they can learn the Company have no such intention. All their shares in market, were withdrawn on Saturday, and there is a strong probability that none of the remaining shares will be again placed in brokers' hands. The shares already disposed of have gone in liquidation of the Company's debt, and made a material difference in the amount standing to the debit of the Company. The price at which the shares are now selling, raises the value of the Company's property to £16,000. For this the shareholders have a valuable area of ground, with one of the finest crush ing plants on the field, and a third interest in pumping machinery. We learn that the mine manager pegged out for the com], any a piece of ground, seaward on the line of reef, which is stronger in this direc tion. It is intended to commence sinking the shaft another hundred feet, to enable other companies round to get lower levels without delay, whilst the Piako have over 70 feet of balks yet to work in their present level, with quartz of greatly improved quality coming to hand. The battery will start upon 300 tons, already delivered, and Piako will soon, we tiu.t, appear amongst the dividend paying Companies on the field." '

RAILWAY RETURNS,

The return of receipts of the railways, compared the earnings during 1876-7 with the previous year, but docs not give the mileage of the new lines opened during the year. The extension is principally in the north of Otago, and Southland, but it was so recently opened at Queenstown that whether they have had any great effect upon the returns in the northern divisions it is impossible to say. During the period of 9 months ending March 31st 1876 the amount was £4186; March 31st 1877, £10729. Central lines, 12 months, 1876, £655 19s ; 1877, £83265 ; Southern, 12 months, 34513-41320-104-219-135315.

GUN ACCIDENT.

At t-almerstou, as a hid named Hopkin." son W;.. m tuc set oj: running litu..^ ty etprp

in the gun went off, blowing off three fingers and the thumb of his right hand. WASTE LANDS BOARD.

Two petitions in favour of cutting up the Waikouaiti runs into 500 to 5000 acre allotments, was presented to-day to the Board, and a deputation strongly urged the same. One settler said his 150 acres returned him £600 yearly, he was willing to take up 1000 acres at an average of a shilling an acre. Others said they would give as high as eighteen-pence for 500 acre blocks. The action of the Board on the Waikouaiti runs is regarded as indicating its disposition to cut up all the runs with available land into small farms.

Mr Gillies writes to the " Star" that he has already secured recognition as a Lecturer of Medicine, by his University.

THE MOANATAIRI.

The discouraging reports of the last few days have sent the shares of the above mine from £20 to £9. It is not everybody who understands the technical terms employed in mining reports, but even experienced miners have been puzzled by the telegrams and letters posted at Mr White's office during the last few days. The mere fact that the immense yield of the week before last has not been sustained would of course be sufficient to explain a serious decline, but why the shares should fall to less than half the recent value without any test being made of the country above or below the rich deposits just worked is a puzzler to all, and many persons express a confident belief that "there is some " bearing" going on, but who are the delinquents tbey are unable to say. The directors, we believe, without exception, express the highest confidence in the future of the mine. This morning the following telegrams were exhibited at the company's office : —■ 10.50., a.m. In stopes on No. 9, rather more mineral showing. General crushing going well. — R. Comer. 10.44. No specimens thrs morning. Will be up to-day. —B. Bleazard. Neither of these is of an encouraging character. It is scarcely pleasant to share holders, after hearing of half-tons of speci mens coming down from one blast, to be told that " more mineral" is showing, while "no specimens this morning" comes like a final extinguisher of hopes perhaps suffered to soar too high. Immediately Mr Blea zard's telegram was received, a meeting of directors took place, and it was resolved _ to telegraph back to that gentleman asking him to remain at the Thames, and inform ing him that they intended going down to the field themselves this evening. There can he no doubt whatever that a change for the worse has come over the mine, but we may fairly be allowed to express incredulity that the altered circumstances warrant the present depression. We should advise holders not to allow themselves to be led into a panic. They must not forget that the great problem to be solved is, whether the auriferous lode runs down to the slide. The workings which arc to test this are only lately begun. If they reveal the reef barren below, then there may be cause for a panic, but not before.

POLICE COURT.—Tins Day.

Before His Worship the Mayor (W. J. Hurst, Esq.) and Dr. Kenderdinc, J.P. DRINK AND ITS VOTARIES. William Taylor, John Fairgroaves, Mary £c——>-.-- f and Ellen Scuddor, alias Colon, were charged with different degrees of intoxi cation. All except Mary pleaded guilty, and were fined according to their guilt. Mary, who was out on bail, did not appear, and her bail was forfeited. A NAMI-LF.SS DRAY. opb Foster pleaded guilty to drivinga'dray which the name and address of the owner was not legibly painted. Fined 5s and costs. NO OIL IN Tni. LAMP. Thomas Brierly, the well-known omnibus pro prietor, was lined Is and costs, for allowing one of his vehicles to be driven without a, light on the night of the 3rd inst. The mitigated penalty was inflicted, because the light had gone out on the way.

This was all the business,

MR. HAMMOND'S LECTURE.

Mr. W. F. Hammond, architect, of Ponsonby. delivered an interesting lecture last evening in the All Saints' school-room, on the " Dost Tribes of Israel;" Rev. E. N. Breo occupied the chair. The proceedings opened with " Beauti ful Land," by the All Saints' choir, under the direction of Miss Hammond. Tho chairman, in his opening remarks, referred to the debt on the school, and to the difficulties they experienced in meeting their increasing liabilities. The church funds were also very low, nearly as low as those of the school, so that no help could bo expected from the church. They had con sidered how they could raise a little money to help them on, and the teachers thought that a series of monthly concerts and lectures, to bo continued through the year, on the penny read ings principle, might be of service, but instead of the penny admission fee, the concerts would be free, and the matter of giving left to the audience. Mr Bree then introduced the lecturer, who proceeded with his subject, dividing it into three parts :—(1). The distinction between the houses of Judah and Israel. (2). The identification of the house of Israel with the British nation, The lecture shewed a great amount of research, and the diagrams drawn by the lecturer and his son were very creditable. The illustrations were from ancient and sacred history, and gave a good idea of things in use in the patriarchal ag^s of the world, as shewn in the British Museum, and other national institutions. The discourse was made pleasant by the introduction of anthems and hymns by the choir from English poetry. Mrs Hammond presided at the harmonium. The collection produced £3. A vote of thanks to the lecturer and chairman, brought the even ing to a close.

We call particular attention to the exceed ingly low scale of prices advertised |by Mr Maxwell, butcher, of Freeman's Bay. His motto is evidently " Ready money and cheapness. The members of the Pioneer Lodge 0£ Good Templars will give an entertainment this evening, in the Albert-street Temper ance Hall, to consist of musical selections and addresses by friends of the order.
