ETON COLLEGE ELECTION.

ETON, JULY 28.—" Election Monday," as usual, attracted
an immense number of distinguished persons to the College,
many of whom had been educated at Eton. from Oxford, Cam-
bridge, and the metropolis, and from the more distant parts of
the kingdom. From an early hour in the morning until nearly
noon the visitors continued to arrive at this ancient seat of
learning. A splendid breakfast was given by the Rev. Dr.
Hawtrey, the head master, at his residence in Weston's-yard,
to a party of upwards of 60, including the Chevalier and
Madame Bunsen, Lady King, Lord Clive, Granville Penn, Esq.,
Lady Hampson, &c.
The speeches commenced in the upper school, shortly after
eleven o'clock, immediately upon the arrival of the Reverend
Mr. Hodgson, the Provost of Eton, who was accompanied by
the Rev. Dr.7lThackeray, the Prevost of King's College, Cam-
bridge ; Dr. Latham, and the Rev. Mr. Sampson, Fellows of
King's; the two Posers ; the Rev. Septintus Grover, the Vice-
Provost of Eton, the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey, and Rev. R. Ole., the
head and leaver masters, and nearly the whole of the authori ties
of the College. The extensive and raised galleries at the north
end of the spacious apartment and the area were crowded
with the numerous distinguished visitors and their fami-
lies. Amongst those who were present we observed
Viscount Emlyn, Viscount Clive, the Chevalier, Madame,
and Miss Bunsen ; the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Hobart, Dean of
Windsor ; the Hon. and Rev. John Saville, D. A. S. Davies,
EN., M.P. ; W. Ewart, Esq., M.P. ; W. Tattoo Egerton,
Esq., M.P. ; Rev. W. Canning, Thomas Brocklebank, Esq. ;
Rev. Mr. Prettyman, Lady Hampson and family ; Rev. E.
Coleridge, Rev. W. G. Cookesley, Rev. E. H. Pickering,
Rev. Harry Dupins, Rev. Mr. Moore, Rev. T. Carter, Rev.
C. 0. Goodford, Rev. G. Bethel, Rev. G. R. Green, Rev.
J. F. Plumtre, Rev. C. J. Abraham, Rev. W. A. Carter,
Rev. F. A. Dumford, Rev. G. J. Dupins, Rev. J. Wildee,
Rev. E. Balston, Rev. J. E. George, Rev. Stephen Hawtrey,
Rev. C. Luxmore, Rev. W. L. Eliot, Rev. J. W. Hawtrey,
Granville Penn, Esq., Major Bent, E. Jesse, Esq., Colonel
Cannon, Capt. Phillips, Captain Randall, Captain Brooke,
W. H. Whitbread, Esq., &c.
The speeches were then proceeded with. The whole were
admirably delivered.
At the conclusion of the speeches the numerous company
retired from the upper school and proceeded to the long cham-
ber, which was tastefully ornamented, as usual, with boughs
and evergreens; the fifty beds which this room contains being
covered with elegantly embroidered green counterpanes, which
were presented to the College by the Duke of Cumberland in
1735. . . . .

The election banquet was served in the College-hall to the
guests of the Provost, numbering upwards of seventy, at three
o'clock. . . . .

The splendid silver model of the college, upwards of two
feet in length, which was presented to the Institution by
his late Majesty William IV., was displayed upon a pe-
destal in the centre of the hall. A large portion of the
valuable silver plate, consisting of ancient salvers, antique
drinking cups, curiously wrought flagons, &r., belonging to
the college, was also displayed upon a large sideboard near
the principal table, at the centre of whiCh were seated the
Provosts of Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and oppo-
site to them the two Posers (according to ancient custom),
supported on either side by the Vice-Provost and the Head.
master ; the two Provosts, the Rev. Messrs. Bethell and
Carter, being seated at either end of the banquet tsble.
At the conclusion of the banquet the Provost and his distin-
guished guests retired to the election-hall to partake of wine
and dessert.

THE ROYAL CONTINENTAL EXCERSHON.—By pri-
vate letters fl•om Cologne received yesterday, we learn that her
Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert are expected to
arrive at Stolzenfels on the 15th of the ensuing month, and not en
the Bth, as at first anticipated. Her Majesty remains five days at
the royal residence, and then proceeds by Wurzburg and Ham-
burg to Coburg, where, as we have before stated, the Palace Nose-
nau has been prepared for her Majesty's reception. It may not be
uninteresting to state that in that royal abode Prince Albert was
born.

LIFE BOATS.—The Norfolk and Suffolk Associa-
tions were established by subscriptions in the respective counties,
for the support of life boats built for those associations. A life
boat costs about 3001. to complete her outfit, and her wear and
tear is considerable. These boats vary in construction, being
adapted to the nature of the sea, or their particular locality. The
crews average fifteen men each ; and though gallant hearts to man
the beats are never wanting, subscriptions frequently are; this it
is hoped, however, arises only from want of their necessity being
known. At Yarmouth regatta, on the 29th inst., a series of trials
will be made, to test their various qualities, and encourage the
brave men that man tbem.—Norfolt chronicle.
UPSETTING OF A SAILING BOAT WITH SIX PER-
SONS ON BOARD.—On Sunday morning, a pars of young men,
consisting of six printers, proceeded in a sailing boat down the
river for a day's amusement. On arriving off the Plumstead
marshes, the wind blew violently from the south-west, and as not
any of the party properly understood the management of a sailing
boat, the rope, which should have been slack, got into a knot, and
before a knife could be •irocured to cut it, the boat was upset, and
all the six young men were immersed in the water. Fortunately
they could swim, and there being two fishing boats eloee by, they
succeeded in getting them on Ward, having only sustained a revere
ducking.
