ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.

Yesterday afternoon a special meeting of the
governors and subscribers of the above college was
held on the stage of the new Adelphi Theatre, for
the purpose of electing three male pensioners, and
ono female pensioner in the place of the late Sarah
Ann Garrick. Among those present (including the
chairman, Mr. B. Webster), were Drs. Rowe and
Bell, Messrs. Childs, Churchill, Buckstone, Keeley,
Cooper, Well, Widdicomb, Potter, Sir George
Armitage, Major Lyon, &c.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, remarked
that the college had had nine houses given them
out of the ten houses which they required, so that
their funds would only be drawn upon for one, and
£3OO had also been subscribed for the Central Hall.
(Loud cheers.) Anything more prosperous, or
anything more calculated to bring them to a pro-
sperous end could not be conceived. (Cheers.)
The SECRETARY then read the report of the
council, which stated that in August last three
female pensioners had been elected, one of whom,
Mrs. Garrick, had since died, and that, though no
provision for such purpose was made in the rules,
the council had allowed £5 for burial. The
payment of pensioners had been at the rate of £25
per annum, with ss. a week in lieu of residence
until the houses were erected. Tenders had been
received for the ten houses intended for the resi-
dence of the 20 pensioners, and it was hoped that
the foundation stone of the central building would
be laid early in the summer. The remainder of the
report will be found embodied in the resolutions
moved.

Mr. WARING suggested that all who had sub-
scribed £5 already to the college, on subscribing
£5 more, should be made governors.
The report was then received for consideration.

The following resolutions were then agreed to :
" That on the death of a pensioner the council be
at liberty to pay from the funds of the college a
sum not exceeding £5 for the funeral expenses of
the pensioner.
" That the course pursued by the council, in
causing to be elected on the 31st of August three
female pensioners, and in calling a meeting that
day to elect three male pensioners, is approved of,
and this meeting now authorises such election.
" That any lady who on the day of the laying of
the foundation stone of the Central Hall presents a
sum of £5 55., whether from her own purse or the
result of collecting smaller amounts for which the
donors do not claim to vote, shall rank as a patron-
ess, and be entitled to vote at the general and
special meetings, and at the elections, for a period
of ten years."

Major LYON said that that was the
opinion he
held.
The CHAIRMAN then moved "That
that part of
the report which referred to the presentation of
books, &c., be mr.itted ;" a motion which was unani-
mously agreed to.
The remainder of the report was then adopted.
The candidates for election were then nominated.
The CHAIRMAN said they had forgotten to men-
tion in their report the name of Mr. Tite their archi
tect, who had rendered them his best services in
every possible way.
Mr. J. B. BITCKSTONE said he had just left a
meeting of the General Theatrical Fund, and was
happy to state that they had voted £2OO to the
Dramatic College, for the purpose of building ano-
ther of their houses.
The CHAIRMAN, in replying to a vote of thanks,
said that to have the object they had in view finished
was his greatest ambition; and he hoped that by
that day twelve months their houses would be com-
pleted, and filled with 20 occupants. (Cheers.)
The p )11 was then opened, and at four o'clock the
names of the successful candidates were announced.

The human body is made up of nerves, vessels, muscles,
and bone, all of which are formed from the blood, aided by
the glands. These Addison compares to a bundle of pipes
and strainers ; to cleanse and clear these of all obstructions
and all impurities is the art of medicine. Holloway's
medicaments happily effect this object, not one of the in-
finitude of pipes and strainers escaping their purifying
powers. They thoroughly remove all noxious matters and
expel all causes of disease. They act most beneficially on
every organ. The Pills internally, and the Ointment
rubbed over the glands, restore vigour to the body and
cheerfulness to the mind. Holloway's remedies are spe-
cifics for indigestion, nervousness, and depression.
