ELECTION SATURDAY AT ETON
COLLEGE.
On Saturday morning the Bev. Dr. Okes, Provost of
King 's College, Cambriciee,at d Vice-Chancellor of that
Univereity, arrived at a.OO College, accompanied by the
Rev. Mr. Witts and the Rev. Mr. Thring, the posers.
They were received by the Rev. Mr. Hodgeon, the Pro-
vost, the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, the Head Master, and
others of the college authorities. At about half laaa
ten a brilliant assembly of shout 300 had collecttd in
the upper school to hear the speeches. The school was
fitted up in the same manner as on the occasion of
Prince Albert's visit, on the 4th of June, and the com-
pany had much the same appearance. Scarcely had
the audience taken their coats, and the boys, to the
number of 600, assembled in the part allotted to their
use, when the Provost, Fellows, Masters, and Assistant-
masters accompanied by the most distinguished of
their guests, entered the school-ro, m. Foremost of all
walked the Earl of Derby, who was immediately re-
cegbised by the boys; and the cry of " Three cheers
for Lord Derby" found a ready responic, in the midst
of which his Lordship bowed his acknowledgments,
and took a seat near to the dais whence the speeches
were delivered. His Lordship was accompanied
by Mr. Secretary Walpole, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe,
Lord Charles Clinton, Mr. W. B. Bayley, and others of
the neighbouring gentry and clergy. After the speeches
had commenced the Duke of Newcastle arrived, and teak
his seat near Lord Derby. Lord John Manners sfter-
words made his appearance, and joined the distinguished
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, who, as Sir Strat-
ford Canning, was well known and universally respected
et Eton, did not appear re be recognized, or his Lordship
would, moat likely, have been greeted with a cheer, on
his return from Constantinople.
The only new feature in the upper school since last
year consists in the addition of exquisitely sculptured
busts of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, presented
by them to the College. We cannot, however, compli-
ment the authorities on the judgment displayed in choos-
ing a position tor the figures of the Queen and the
Prince. They are placed above the principal entrance,
almost out of sight, and are looking from instead of to-
wards each other. A bust of the late Earl Grey (by
Campbell) has just been presented to the College by the
family of his Lordship, and will he placed in the upper
school. The family of Lord Denman have also signified.
their intention of presenting a bust of his Lordship for'
the same purpose.
The election speeches proceeded in the following
order:—
Puller, " ed filios et Jugurthsm."—Sailustins.
feleathcote, ma., " Coriolanns."—Shakspere.
Lambert, " Creon."—Sophocles.
Wilder, " Charoloie."—Massinger.
Carter, ma., KS., "In 2E,chinem, ex Orat. de Corona."
—Demosthenes.
Scott, ma, "Richard ll."—Shakspere.
Wilberforce, K S., " Pro Milone."—Cicero.
Pals, ma., " kletspur."—Shnkspere.
Harper, ma., K.S., " Philoctetes."—Sophooles.
Evered, K S., " Against Taxing the American Colo-
nies."—Burke.
Sterry, ma., K.S., " Shylock."—Shskspere.
131 ng, " Therainenes."—R,eino.
Tbackeray, K.S., "On tho Employment of Indians in
the War with America."—Loid Chatham.
" Drances."—Virgilius.
Earl of Lincoln, " Turnus."—Virgilius.
Cookesley. me., " Hamlet to the Players."—Shakspere.
meesias, K.S., " Duke of Buckingham."—Shakspere.
The whole of the sea ches were exceedingly well de-
livered, and as well received, Sterry and Cookesley call
ing forth the most decided marks of !approbation.
Evered's most striking passages from Burke'a master-
piece, delivered in capital style, seemed to attract the
attention of the Noble Premier. Cookeeley's very diffi-
c i
scene
a tio

on thedelightfully, Rialto

speaking.
The usual banquet took place in the afternoon, in the
College-hall, which was decorated with ancient tapestry
and otherwise appropriately fitted up for the occasion.
The beautit'ul model of the College chapel, in silver (the
gift of his late Majesty King William IV.), was placed
on the centre table. The noble and distinguished com-
pany present at the speeches, reinforced by numbers who
arrived later in the day, were the guests of the Provost
and Fellows. Mr. Disraeli was expected, but the Right
Hon. Gentleman was not present. The toast of " Her
Majesty's Ministers" was drunk with enthusiastic ap-
olause, and when the Earl of Derby rose to return
thanks the ancient hall reverberated with the cheers
of the company. His Lordship, in the course of an
eloquent and feelirr, speech, alluded to his early
days and youthful pressures_ at Eton, and stated that
the Cabinet of which be had the honour to be the head
numbered no less than eight Etonians. Again the old
hall rang with the plaudits of the guests, and it is many
years since an election Saturday went off teith so much
spirit. We might add that Mathias is the captain of the
school, and that the number of boys on the books is
598, being about 6 less than at the corresponding period
of last year.

In the evening the regatta attracted a large number of
spectators to the Brocas, but the attendance was not so
large us in former years. The boats' crews, under the
direction of the Hon. Mr. Trefusis (captain of the boats),
were the same, with ono or two exceptions, as on the
4th of June. Among the company present we noticed
Lord Statford do Radcliffe, with his brother, the Rev.
W. Canning, canon of Windsor, the Marquis of Drog-
heda, Sir H. Hoare, Bart., the lion. Colonel Upton, the
y. The
[lon. A. Chichester, Colonel the Hon. C Boyle, M.P.,
Mr. T. Smith, M.P., Mr. Antrobus, the Messrs. Currie,
and most of the resident clergy and entr
trip to Surley-hall was made, and the customaryusual al fresco banquet was discussed, after which the boats re-
turned i 0 the Brocas, and a magnificent display of fire.
works terminated the proceedings. The vacation corn.
mences this Monday) morning, when all the boys, save
those etigqge,i in the trials, will leave. The school re-
opens about the middles of S. ptember.

APPREHENSION OF BROOME --After the close of
the trial of Staden and James, on Friday, at Lewes, a warrant
was issued for the apprehension of Johnny Broome, one of
the persons concerned in the card cheating case at Brighton,
for not surrendering to take his trial with the other priso-
ners. Broome, it appears, bad been seen in the town of
