We have seen with great pleasure a letter from the Hon.
Colonel Phipps, in reply to a communication soliciting Prince
Albert's patronage of the suburban artisan schools of draw-
ing. Colonel Phipps says—" I have, by his Royal High-
ness's commands, made some inquiry into the working of
these schools, and his Royal Highness was much pleased to
hear that the attendance at them has already become larger
than was expected at the time you wrote.your letter. His
Royal Highness being convinced that such instruction will
he highly beneficial to the artisans, has commanded me to
state that he willingly grants his patronage to this artisan
art school ; and I am further directed to enclose to you the
accompanying cheque for 25/., as a donation from the Prince
to the funds for its support. —T Builder.
