THE FOUR HUNDREDTH ANNI-
VERSARY OF THE FOUNDATION OF ETON
COLLEGE.

• The celebration of the four hundredth anniversary of tbe
foundation of this celebrated place of public education took
lace on Saturday last, at the great room at Willis's in King-
street, St. James's. The meeting was, as might be expected,
• • most numerously attended ; we never, on any former occasion
Wan Eton anniversary, remember to have seen the attendance
of Etonians so numerous. The chair was taken at half•past
•• seven o'clock by Lord Chief Justice Denman, supported on the
immediate right by the Provost of Eton, and on the left
by Dr. Hawtrey, the Head Master of the School. There
were also present Lords Morpeth and Lincoln, and many
other Noblemen, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Justice Pat-
tem.), Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Reverend Dr. Keate,
• formerly head master of the school, General Sir H.
Tarner, and upwards of 300 gentlemen. Upon the removal of
the„„eloth, grace having bean said; Lord Denman proposed
in The memory of the founder, Henry V 1.," which was drunk
respectful s lence. His Lordship then proposed the health
cf Vie Queen, and in a short but appropriate speech adverted
to the pairona2e which the Royal Family had always bestowed
so
44 Eton, and which her present Majesty, and her Royal Con-
rt Prince Albert, were not likely to withdraw.—(Great
cheering) The health of Queen Adelaide, and the rest of
the Royal Family was drunk with enthusiastic applause. To
the toast " The '
Duke of Wellington and the Generals of
Eton," Sir H. Turner returned thanks, but was inaudible to
143 st of the company. To the toast the " Admirals of Eton,"
there hein-, no Admiral present, thanks were not returned.
Lord VORPETH returned thanks for the toast " The States-
men of Eton," in a speech of considerable humour. His
Lordship observed, although he was now in the sixth form
'-of the Cabinet, it was very probable many gentlemen present
ox Cabinet,
he would shortly be in the " Remove."—(Cheers
and lamghter. ) He would, however, observe, that whatever
'night be his inadequacy to do justice to the toast, he would
recall to the recollection of thosethat heard him, that amongst
the statesmen of Etun were to be found a Fez, a Grenville, a
Canning, and a Wellington. His Lordship concluded amidst
lout! cheering.
Eton
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on the toast of the " Judges of
" being drunk, returned thanks, and pointed out with
great humour how the practice of swimming and escaping the
entanglement of weeds at Eton, helped those brought up there
to become
Clergy, good lawyers. Dr. Keate returned thanks for the
and Dr. Hawtrey for the Masters of Eton. The health
Of " Lord Denman" was drunk, for which his Lordship re-
turned thanks. The great toast of the evening, " Floreat
Etena," was drunk with the most enthusiastic cheers • it was
sevet al minutes befoi e silence could be restored, so vehement
were the company in their expression of good will and grafi-
" de to the place of their education. In the course of the
jverling, Lord Denman read a letter from the Marquis Welles-
ey. regretting that he could not attend, but expressing his
zeal for the prosperity of the College, and attributing his re-
Putation and successful progress in life to his having received
his
N beducation at that place, under the learned Drs. Davies and
„°LurY• This letter was received with every demonstration
applause. Several other toasts were drunk in the course of
the evening and it was not until nearly twelve o'clock that the
festivities closed.
