Being an increase of 32 since Easter. Such is the
healthy state of Eton that not a boy was left behind
through illness.
A vacancy having occurred at King's occasioned by
the marriage, on Friday last, of Russell Day, EN.;
ALA., one of the Masters of Eton, Hodgson, as 80031 all
the result of the examinations had placed him as captain
of the school, had the good fortune to get the rem gain
tion. This young gentleman, consequently, leaves for
King's, and Nelson is now the captain of the collegers.
Mr. Watkins, ma., at election, was both captain of
the school, and captain of the oppidans, a very unusual
circumstance, that cf an oppidan standing higher in the
school than any colleger. If Watkins should leave this
half, which it is expected he will, Nelson will become
captain of the school and chute captain of the oppidanr.
