ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON.

The two great festivals of the summer at Eton,
"The Fourth of June," and "Election Saturday" have the bad
character:of being always wetdq►—a character established
practically ea far back as living Etonians can remember. On
Saturday, however, the elements forgot their old traditions,
sad it wee " tlnesa i weather" indeed. A fine bright day,
with a warm sea over head, and a refreshing breeze to
temper the sultry air, was jut the day that nine-teuths of
her Majesty's liege subjects would have chosen for the
festivities of " Election Saturday." The consequence was
that, although the gathering of old and present Etonian
was but small (wise to the lateness of the Loodoe sesame,
we suppose), every one was in the best of all possible
Immolate, and open house and a cheerful weloome WAS the
order of the day.

to the early part of the day the wickets were pitched in
the " Playing Fields" for a match between theeleren of Eton
and the men of West Kest, but owing to the attractions of
the river in the evening the match was not played out, and
indeed the wickets had to be drawn before the tint inning.
were really concluded._

The p;ocesdin—p of the day were commenced by the
arrival of the Provost of King's College, Cambridge (Dr.
Oka) and the " Posses " (as the examiners are called at
Eton), in the customary and statutory carriage and four, at
the college, where they were received at the gates of the
college by the provost, fellows, and head master of Eton
with the usual forme aid 111111•1011illa Kessne*AiLlit.), an
Captain Elect of the Colleges, greeting them with. Latin
oration, in which he bristly recounted the events of the
past year so fax as they referred to Eton and Etonian in-
termits, and also alluded tosome of the more oiliest parts of
our rational history, not excluding the foreign policy of
Lord Palmerston and Earl Russell, and the meat attempt
of the conservatives to displace the winisters by a vote of
08111tIle.

The College Chapel at three o'clock was well attended by
• goodly stray of visitors, including many ladies, who occu-
pied stalls. At four o'clock came the usual dinner in the
Great College Hall, at which the two Provosts , and the
Cambridge and College authorities, and also the 70 " K tog's
Scholars," were entertained on good old English fare, the
loving cup or gram cup being pasted retied before the usual
loyal toasts were gives.
About ball-past six or levee o'cloek the Etonian crews
sowed in procession up the river, past the Brom sad Bose-
ney-Weir, to Sculey Hall, where they did justice to • good
and Marty supper in the open sir, and retnroeil just at dusk
by the same route, accompanied by the bend of the Grime-
' dim Grids, who enlivened the water with their music.
The river was alive with boats carrying fair freights of
lady visitors and among the rest we noticed the Princess
of Wales and the ladies of her suite being rowed up towards
Boveney by the Priam and the royal waterman, Mr. Talbot ;
his royal highness himself punka an oar with a hearty good
will and in the best of time.

The printed list of the bade and their crews well se follows,
bot at the last moment one or two changes were obliged to be
made, owing to the anemic* of imbriduabi for various

The prooseclinp of " Election Saturday " conclasted with
the usual display of fireworks from an eyot co the river,
about 200 yards above 'o.l2door-bridge, to which tho fine.
ness aed genial warmth of the evening, the absence of all
wind, and the fact that the moon bad not risen, gave an
additional picturesqueness.
It is understood that the results of the present election,
as regards both " H ing s " and the college at Eton, will be
made known in the course of the present week.

SO:100ZZ OF ART. A deputation of managers
and masters of art schools waited on Lord Granville,
at the Privy Council-office, on Friday afternoon. It
was headed by Mr. 13ereeford Hope, who very ably dwelt
upon the points which the schools desired the Committee of
Council on Education ,to take intolcousideration before any
new minutes founded on the recommendation of the late
select committee of inquiry were issued. These were mainly
that there should be au eateesion of the maim( of the
term " lancers," so as to ioolode small tradespeople, clerks,
apprentices, die., and that the schools throughout the
comity might be cheaply and efficiently worked, with an
amount of direct state aid equal to all the fees and subecrip-
tioos raised by the schools themselves, viz.. 20,0004, as
egoista 44,63E4, claimed by the Department of Science and
Art to have been spent upon the schools duriog the prat
year.
Tea MTRDER oN THZ NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.
We learn from the Retcoarri Chronicle that at a late hour
on Thursday night a boarding-house keeper named Morrison,
residing in High-street East, called at the Central Police
Station and made a statement with reference to a seaman
who had teen lodging at hi house. It at peeled that the
man in question had shipped in the easel Charmer, which
had just left Suuderlsod for Singapore, and before going
away be got am advance sots cashed by Mormon, sod
signed it " Frans Moller." Morrism was struck with the
identity of the signature with that of the sup-
posed murderer of Yr. Briggs, and stated that Midler,
who use a foreigner, came so his house Ave days
whit that be was from Shields, and wanted a ship. He
could apparently speak very little 'foolish, and in Mot-
ridge/ opinion, looked more like a aid..* than a seaman.
While he was in the boardimphome he appeared very
nervoousoa,, and evinced a great dislike to stirring out of doors.
Under these cinsurestamces Morrison gave informatics) to the
police, sod eras anxious that a telegram should be sent to
detain the ship at the Downs, but the police wisely declined
to adopt that coons on the tole ground of Morrison's mon,
foot statement and evidently mistaken surmise.. Inspector
Herneey, of the Looks force, arrived in Liverpool on
Friday evening, and ailed on Saturday morning in the City
of New York for New York in pursuit of Floor Muller, the
supposed murderer of Mr. Briggs.
