Most of the speeches were admirably delivered, those
by Mitford and Antrobus were decidedly the beet,
although Mr. Morton as Hamlet, and Mr. Evans as
Sir A. Absolute, met with merited applause. The
holidays commence on Monday (this day), and there
will be an extra week given in consequence of the recent
visit to the college of the King of Portugal with Prince
Albert. In the afternoon, a grand banquet was given
in the college hall to about 70 of the nobility and gentry,
most of whom were present at the delivery 'of the
speeches. The college grace was admirably chanted by
Mr. Moore. K S., assisted by the gentlemen• of the
choirs of Eton and the Chapel Royal of St. George.
The hall was hung with the ancient tapestry, and the
beautiful silver model of the chapel, presented to the
college by William IV., was exhibited on a centre table.
After dinner the company adjourned to the Election
Chamber, where they partook of an elegant dessert,
and drank the customary loyal and collegiate toast".
