A meeting of the governors was held Li the library of the College Hall on Tuesday at uoon, when there were present-Mr T. Davies, Bootle, in the chair;. Mr L. P.

The Secretary was called upon to read the minutes- of the last meeting, whieh were confirmed. The Principal said that he had received the re-- port of the examiners, which was very satisfactory.. It bad been presented to the Council with much ap- proval, but with their consent he would postpone reading the list until the meeting in the examination hall, to be held at three o'clock.
