The triennial custom, Called MONT ehil, obsei vet by the young Noblemen and Gentlemen of Eton College, has hitherto been generally celebrated on Whit-Tuesday. This year, however, it was post poned no account of the anniversary of His MA• ICS r v's Birch-Day falling upon that day. It is dif ficult to ascertain the origin of this singular custom ; but it appears to have arisen from the early times of monkish superstition, when the Friars usedt osell their consecrated salt for medic al purposes. There are some traces of it to be found as f.sr back as the reign of Elizabeth, who, when on a visit to the College, de sired to see an account of the ancient ceremon'es observed there from its foundation. In the list, WAS an annual procession of the Scholars, who on those occasions repeated verses, and gathered mo ney from the public, for a dinner, and other pur poses. Yesterday th;s interesting ceremony was cele brated with great splendour, being honoured with the presence of almost the whole of the ROYAL FA MII.V. Soon after eleven o'clock, His MAJESTY left the Castle, accompanied by Their Royal High nesses the Prince of WA I. ES, the Dukes of KENT, CUM pelt AND, and CAMBRIDGE, and proceeded on horseback to the College, Attended by a nu merous retinue of Nobility.' They were fol lowed by Her MAJBATY, the five PRINCESSES, the ' Duchess of YORK, and the Duke of Sussex and attendant:, in four open carriages. In the first, were Her MAJESTY and the Princess AUGUSTA ; in the second, the Princess Litz A BETH and the Duchess of Yount; in the third, the Princess MARY and SOPHIA. ; and in the fourth, the Princesses AM zu A and the Duke of KLNT ; the Pstiactsses were re speCtively accompanied by the Ladies in waiting ; among whom were, the Countess of ELY and ViSCOUMCSS CR ANL LT. The Rov At. PARTY were stopped upon Winds , )r Bridge by the Salt Bearers, when each of the Roy AL FAMILY made them a present, and then proceeied oil with the procession to Salt Hill, to hear the speech spoken by the Captain of the School. The costume of the Salt Bearers consisted of elegant fancy dresses, one of white and gold, and the other white and silver, with a plume of white feathers, in imitation of the hats worn by the Knights, at the late Installation. The Salt Bearers were attended by their Servitors in similar costume. They also levied contrib , ttions upon all the travellers; and, as the cDmihtny ware more numerous than for many year; past, the amount must have been •ery consielerable. The last collthion, we understand, amounted to ice. 01 About twelve o'clock, the procession moved from the Col lege through the play-fields, and along the road, to Salt-hill, which is distant about a mile from the College. The present number of scholars is 375, who in the procession were divided into the follow ing classes, according to their ranks or standing in the College : Maregchal Fox. Simcoe.
