Boston, November 28. . .  We hear that in pursuance of a
deputation lately received from his Grace the Duke of
Beaufort, Grand Master of Masons, Wednesday was solemnized
at the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in this town,
at their meeting at Concert-Hall, the installation of the
right worshipful John Rowe, Esq.; Grand Master, in the room
of Jeremy Gridley, Esq; deceased.--After the installment of
the fraternity in their order, with their proper significant
jewels and badges, went in procession from Concert-Hall
attended by a very large band of music, to Trinity-Church,
where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Bass of Newbury: 
After service they returned in procession, the order of
which was varied, to Concert-Hall, where was a most elegant
entertainment provided, after dinner they had a variety of
music, and many excellent songs were sung, &c.
