The sale of the Carleon Priory is delayed—if not
postponed for ever. The Monmouth Merlin of last week gave the foL
lowing version of the matter:—" TIIE PRIORY CARLEON.—Many of our
readers will be glad to hear that the sale of the Priory and of the other
estates in the neighbourhood of Carleon, belonging to Thomas Hooper,
Esq., which were advertised to be sold in the month of August next,
under the auspices of that ' Prince of Auctioneers,' George Robins,
is deferred sine die. Mr. Hooper, it seems has considered that the at-
tractions of Hardington Park jgreat as they unquestionably must be to
a staunch and zealous sportsman) not afford perpetual compensaticn
for the loss of those comforts and enjoyments which centre in dear,
delightful home,' consecrated by a thousand plehsures and recollections
11,t to be met with elsewhere. Of Mr. Hooper's `second thoughts,' we
highly approve. It would have sorely grieve:d us to lose from the neigh-
bourhood a gentleman whose kindness of heart and urbanity of con-
duct, have ensured him the respect and esteem of all his acquaintence."

AQUATICS.

ETON REGATTA.—In consequence of Saturday being the last one in
this month, and known among the students of Eton College as "election
Saturday," a regatta on a very extensive scale, for which during the last
week great preparations had been making at Windsor and Eton, took
place pursuant to ancient custom in the evening. The cutters, wher-
ries, funnies, and other amateur river craft, were manned by youthful
aspirants for aquatic fame. All being " Eton boys" attired in splendid
theatrical and fancy dress costume, being similar dresses to tinge worn
by the scholars at the Monte.n, which tended much to increase the ge-
neral appearance of the fete, the banks of the river were crowded with
spectators, including most of the elite of the surrounding locale; the
tout ensemble of which presented a coup d'wil the most pleasing. Tne
start took place from Eton bridge, the pull being to Shirley Hall, a dis-
tance of about five or six miles up the river, where the young gentlemen
Partook of an excellent supper. A grand pyrotechnic display, introduc-
ing several new and appropriate devices, terminated the amusements of
the evening. The aquatic fete is similar to that which takes place ou
the 4th of June. This day (Monday) the annual speeches, most of
which are from, the text of the most celebrated classical authors, will be
delivered by several of the students in the large hall or school.room
of the college; and, according to a very ancient custom, a young gen-
tleman will be elected to the University of Cambridge, where he will
enter his name at King's College, Hitherto it has been customary for
the Sovereign to honour this elocutional display with his or her pre-
sence, likewise most of the members of the Royal family, and it is anti.
cipated on the present occasion that this custom will not be departed
from, but that her M m
,Majesty the Queen, with her august
other, her
Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, with several of her royal relations
and most of the members of the domestic and foreign cot ps diplomatiqoe
at present resident in the metropolis, will attend. The speeches usually
commence in the early part of the morning.
