Frederick Gye, Esq., has kindly granted the free

aid of the funds of the Royal Dramatic College,
on Thursday, the 29th instant. Most, if not all, the prin-
cipal members of the theatrical profession are to be brought
together.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.—On Saturday
evening Mr. Phelps, the enterprising and liberal lessee,
took his benefit at the theatre which he has done so much
to render popular with all classes. The performances con-
sisted of "Coriolanus" and " Raising the Wind." After the
tragedy Mr. Phelps was loudly called for, and after observ-
ing that this was the first time for 16 years that he had
made a speech before the ourtain, alluded to the reports
which had been propagated, to the effect that he was about
to leave the management of Sadler's Wells Theatre. It
was true that there was some slight foundation for this
report. His respected coadjutor, Mr. Greenwood—(cheers)
—was about to part from him, desiring to quit the cares of
theatrical management, and henceforth he (Mr. Phelps
would be the sole manager of the theatre. (Loud cheers.)
He promised to spareno pains to deserve the approval of his
friends—(cheers)—and he hoped to continue to win their
patronage as ho had always done. (Cheers.) Various offers
had been made to him to take a theatre in what some people
called—though he could never see why—the "fashionable"
part of London, but he could not bring himself to leave the
pleasant old boards of Sadler's Welts. (Great cheering.)
Tb e address was enthusiastically applauded by the auditory,
who thronged the house in every part—pit, gallery, and
boxes being equally crowded to a most inconvenient state
of repletion.

HANDY lllNTs.—lnotlier example of the prac-
ticability of, and mutual interests derivable from, the com-
munication of useful information by the producer to the
consumer, is datedfrom "The Steam, Oil, and Colour
`Yorks, St. George's-street, London Docks " one of the
largest firms in the trade.' We extract the 'following :
" It is clearly understood that skilled wcrkraen are not re-
quisite to paint common wood-work. Thin coat the knots
With patent knotting at Is. 6d. per pint. Stop up the
nail-
holes and all shakes before putting on second coat with
putty, at Bs. cwt., and rub down with puramice stone,
at
three-pence per pound. Priming colour or lead colour at
6s. per gallon, will cover 55 yards ; stone colour at 7s. 6d..
or yellow paint at 65., 44 yards; black paint at 55., 90
yards ; b'ue colour at Bs. 6d., or green paint at 65., 55 yap; .
bright emerald green at 125., 25 yards ; bronze green at I

some length.
