ELECTION MONDAY AT ETON.

(From the Windsor Express.)
We have again to record the annual ceremony of Eton
election speeches, which were this year, as the last, graced
by the presence of his Majesty. The King seems to feel
an affection for the Eton boys ; he comes among them,
unattended by the display of royalty, almost alone, confi-
dent and cheerful, as a father entering the bosom of his
family. We are happy to see the feeling is mutual ; the
boys testified theirs in their own way, and the long and
lend ltuzzas which hailed the entrance of his Majesty in the
school-room, and lasted until he sat down, must have nearly
deafened him. _ _

The arrangements were the same as last year; the visi-
tors were again indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Keate for
excellent accommodation, which was extended to a greater
nnmber of spectators than usual, owing to more than half
the boys having left the school, in the preceding week, on
account of the cholera having m ide its appearance, hut
which, we are happy to say, has not extended further than
the (even now doubtful) four cases which caused the alarm.
As soon as the King and her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Augusta had sat down, and the few gentlemen accom-
panying them (among whom were Lord Falkland, Sir
Andrew Barnard, Sir Jeffrey Wyattville) had taken their
station, the speeches began.
After the speeches, and before the King retired, there
was a pause—an anxious pause ;it was expected the Pro-
Yost would end it with these words, " It is his Majesty's
pleasure to give you an extra week ;" but alas! no such
intimation was given; the King rose and departed with-
out granting the so-much-wished-for extension! Their
disappointmenkflid not, however, prevent the boys from
testifying their loyalty, and his Majesty was out of hear-
ing before the shouts had ceased.
