up altogether to the almspeople. (Ilear,tear.) The
Governors, he might add, had just elected 12 addi-
tional almspeople, who had that day occupied their •
rooms in the college. 'Die chairman concluded,
amid loud cheers, by thanking the visitors for their
attendance.

Prayers having been offered up by the Chaplain,

and Mendelssohn's chorale " Letour theme of praise'
having been sung by the choir,
The CHAIRMAN called for three cheers for the
master, which were given with heartiness. The same
compliment was paid to the master of the Lower
School, and after the National Anthem the assembly
dispersed.
Shortly after the ceremony the Governors enter-
tained the President and Council of the Royal
Academy and many other distinguished visitors at
luncheon in the beautiful pictur6 gallery of the col-

of " the Master of the College," who returned
thanks in an eloquent speech. The Chairman next
proposed the health of Sir F. Grant, who said that
the Royal Academy had reason to be very grateful
to the heads of the College, who every year allowed
the council to borrow their best pictures. He pro-
posed " The Health of the Governors." Mr. Tite
acknowledged the compliment, and paid a tribute
to the good qualities of the Chairman, of whom he
said that a clergyman who was a better man of busi-
ness he never saw. The toast of " the Visitors"
called up Sir R. Murchison, who said that the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer himself, had he been present
that morning, could not have given a better account
of the college than their chairman had done. (Cheers.)
Colonel Adair was also called upon to address the
company. The " Chairman of the Gallery Com-
mittee, Mr. Adair, M.P.," was also toasted. Mr.
Adair said he looked with great pleasure upon the
fact that the gallery of pictures at Dulwich was now
open every day to the public, without payment.
(Cheers.) The " Health of the Chairman" was
given with due acknowledgment of the admirable
good temper and cordiality displayed by him
throughout the day. The company then repaired
to...the lawn and grounds of the college, where coffee
was served, and where the band of the Coldstream
Guards largely contributed to the enjoyment of the
guests.

It may be added that the contract for the build-
ings, exclusive of fittings, furnishing, &c., has been
taken by Mr. Downs, of Union-street, Southwark—
whose tender was the lowest sent in—at £62,000.
The terracotta work, which will bear a most impor-
tant part in the ornamentation of the new building,
is being executed by Messrs. lilashfield, of Stam-
ford. The architect's clerk of the works is Mr.
liogan. The new buildings are expected to be
ready for occupation in about two years and a half
or three years.
