  We hear that in pursuance of a deputation lately received
from his Grace the Duke of Beauford, Grand Master of Masons,
yesterday was solemnized at the Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons in this town, at the 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 installation 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 to the Brotherhood by the Rev'd 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.
&c.
