ETON REGATTA.

Last Saturday being what is called Election Saturday at Eton,
the Annual Regatta took place. The young Gentlemen of the
College went up the River to sup at Sudley Hall. The weather
was much more favourable than could have been expected after
A very stormy day, and the procession of gaily trimmed boats
was one of the most pleasing and interesting sights we have ever
witnessed. The band of the Oxford Blues occupied two boats
in the procession, and played some delightful airs during the
whole of the entertainment. An immense number of elegant
carriages, filled with beautiful and well dressed women, added
greatly to the effect of this lively scene. The procession returned
to Eton at half-past eight, when a brilliant display of fire-
works took place from the island opposite the bridge, which was
illuminated with coloured lamps. Soon after nine o'clock the
whole ceremony concluded, the band playing " Goo save the
King." The whole thing went off with great eclat, and without
•
any accident.

BRIGHTON RACES, JULY 28.
The fineness of the weather on the preceding evening enticed
numerous fashionable parties to promenade the Steine and the
East Cliff till ten o'clock, and everything bade fair for a large
company to view the Races. But the rain during the night, and
heavy shuwers up till twelve this day, threw a complete glom*
over the town; and at one o'clock, the time of starting, fifty
carriages were the most that might be counted upon the race:
ground. 'The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, surrounded by
several of their children, in a baroucbe and four, accompanied
by the carriage of Lord George Lennox, ial whiolt were seen his
Lordship and several young Ladies, took their stations under
the Grand Starve. The weather clearing up, the company began
to increase, and the race•grouod assumed a more cheerful aspect.
The band of the 7th Light Dragoons was placed near the car- _
riage of the Duchess of Richmond, and at intervals several most
interesting pieces of music were performed for the amusement
of the Duchess. The bell at length announced that the follow-
ing hones were about to start fur
