ETON COLLEGE.-FOURTH OF JUNE.

Ever since the palmy days of departed Montem the
4th of June has been looked upon as the grand annual
assemblage of the nobility and gentry of this country,
more particularly of " Old Etonians," and it has conse-
quently become the principal holiday at Eton. -
Favoured with a bright sunny day, added to the con-
venience afforded by the two rival railways, the Great
Western and the South-Western—visitors of rank and
fashion, from all parts of the kingdom, began to pour
into Windsor at an early hour. The Thames by the
bridge exhibited a gay and lively scane—flags of all
nations and of various devices were hoisted at the wharves
and principal buildings in that vicinity, and boats, from
the, noble ten-oar, to the fragile ten-inch outrigger,
with their flaunting ensigns, were moored along the
shores in readiness to receive their gay and happy crews
At eleven G'clock, the company having assembled in
the upper school, the speeches commenced and were de-
