ETON CoLLEGE.—The election of candidates for
scholarships on this foundation, and the sister college at
Cambridge is fixed for Monday, the 28th inst. We under-
stand that the authorities of the two colleges have made
some alteration in the arragements usual on the occasion,
viz, that the cloister speech will be spoken at two o'clock
i_t the afternoon of Friday the 25tLi; that, ou the following
day, Saturthy the 26th, the election speeches will be deli-
vered in the Upper School at ten o'clock A.m.; that the din-
ner, hitherto given on Monday by the college, in the college
hall, will take place at three o'clock r ai., on Saturday, the
`26th, thus leaving the electors of the two colleges an oppor-
tunity of commencing their' examination on Monday the
28th, without interruption, after the indentures of the pre-
vious year have been cancelled. The accession to the num-
ber of candidates for the Eton Foundation, and the conse-
quently increased necessity of care in the award of places on
the indentures, have, we believe, led to this alteration. The
oppidians will ba dismissed early in the morning
the 28tb, and the collegers who are not in trials will be al-
lowed to go after the dinner in the hall on Monday.

ROYAL SEA BATHING INFIRMARY.--A festival in
aid of the funds of this institution took place yesterday at the
vern, Bisho s a
London Ta
M. Y., in the chair. 'The cloth having been removed at the
conclusion of an excellent dinner, the chairman proposed the
success toasts, and, after them, that of the evening,
to the Sea Bathing Infirmary." It appeared that
the charity on behalf of which he appealed was established
for the especial treatment of scrofula, whilst that it was re-
quired was evident by the fact that 22,003 patients, children,
and adults, amongst the poor, had partaken of the benefits
which it afforded. As regarded its present efficiency, there
was nothing wanting iu the arrangements of the building—
which was in good repair and free from debt—in the diet and
comc,:,rt afforded the patients, or in the medical attendance
provided them. It had 220 beds and an excellent bathing
apparatus;
11:: Jacked notl'ing, indeed, but increased public
support proportiodate to the increasing demands upon its
means. The result of the chairman's appeal was a subscrip-
tion list, read by the secretary, andshowing contributions to
‘,n amount of upwards of 1,6001.
