ETON, MAY 23.---At an early hour this morn,
ing the. Etouians were, all in bustle for the per-
formance of I bt• splendid proceedings of the day.
The Nobility, Gentry, and the more humble class
of travail:4.s were coming in from all quarters,
and before. eleven o'clock Eton presented one of
the most complete microco,tus ever witnessed, and
the oldest inhabitants declare that they never saw
so vast a concourse of spectators at a illontem.--
The carriages lined the road from the College
bridges, extending along the road to Sulr-hill.
It was not generaly understood in Windsor or
Eton, that the King had arrived-at the Royal
Cottage in the Great Park on the preceding night
in order to hosiourthe festival. On its being
known that his Majesty would ' make his public
entrance through Windsor to Eton College, the
confusion among the carriages; the one-horse
vehicles, and the influx of strangers to secure good
stations, was alarming for some time.
Precisely at twelve o'clock his Majesty, accom-
panied by the Right lion. Sir B. Bloomfield. ar-
rived-at Eton Bridge. Messrs. Wilmot and Stan_
ley, salt bearers, dressed in the most superb fancy •
costume, received his Majesty's liberal cootribt_
lion for salt. The King rode on horseback, at a •
gentle pace, and ha,ing no attendants except 3
grooms, the public had an opportunity of viewing

husband : in vain did Mr. Wright urge that he never was at
Nottingham in his life.; that his name was not Edward, and
that as in the year 1774 , he was only six years old, he was
not likely to have been married ; Mrs. Smart persisted in his
identity, and in her turn urged the great resemblance be-
tween hint and her son, who, she declared, Were as like as
two peas ; the tout env:mile of their two persons did indeed
bear souse resemblance, and a vivid imagination might have
fancied a family likeness between them.
As Mrs. Smart could not, be persuaded to )care the house,
and her two sons would not permit her to be forced away, the
assistance of Worrall was called in, with whom all patties
proceeded to the Justice Room.
Mr. Alderman ATKW3, afthough there was no offence
committed of which be could lake cognizance, was willing to
do all io his power to convinct the old Lady ofher mistake ;
the task, however, was hopeless, for notwithstanding that
Mr. Wright stated that it was a fact known to many of his
neighbours, that be wa, barn and served his apprenticeship in
St. Bride's parish, and had been housekeeper in the Ward up
wards of 20 yems, Mrs. Smart was still sure he was .h man.
As she allowed that her husband was more than six years old
when she married him in 1774, and Mr. Wright stated himself
to be only 52 next November, which latter fact could be
ascertained by the register of St. Bride's, Wright, the son
undertook .to make tke search, and the parties were dis-
missed, the Lady still persisting that sir. Wright was cer•
mainly her first husband.

THE Tit Evratt.,--There have been such judicious
alterationi and improvements in the new musical
Drama brought forward on lionday night at Go-
vent Garden Theatre, under the title of-The
Battle of Bothwell Brigg, that though it was treat-
ed with languor, and even hostility, at first, it was
received last night with very warm applause, and
Announced for repetition with general consent.—
The scenery is uncommonly striking. picturesque,
and romantic, and proves that nothing is wanting
On the part of the management to render full jus-
tice to the pieces which may be presented to it, and
to afford an encouraging stimulus to dramatic
genius.

It is whispered that a late female distinguished
ornament ►►t the Stage, in wh►►n' all theatrical
ambition is now extinct, inrende, nevertheless,
under the arniable impulse of 'dative affection, to
gratify the public by a final appearance on an
ensuing occasion. This reported intention evinces
feelings that do her more honour than even the
unrivalled excellence of her theatrical genius.
