ETON REGATTA.—On Saturday the Gentlemen of T,
Eton College celebrated their annual election of Cap- 1
CS
tarn and Candidates for admission on the Royal
foundation with a grand aquatic and rural fete.—
After the scholastic business of the morning, and the A
ti appointment of Master DANIELS to the senier office of M
1 Ceptain, the Gentlemen proceeded to their boats vi'
stationed at Carter's quay, and rowed to Surly Hall, Ju
i . three miles from Eton. Eich boat was finely deco- se
. rates new 'legs and banners, bearing appropriate fis
mottos, and ornamented and painted by Mr. Carter,
who deserves great credit for his nianegement of the ee*
procession. The' Commander of each boat was ha. a
felted in the most superb and expensive dresses, and the at
rowers of the Monarch apecered in the character cf I fa
galley slaves, with crimson jackets and black tine di
bans, a rich gilt girdle round the waist, to which th
• massy chains were suspended. The acrew of the ci
lee , Mars were attired as Highlanders ; and the remain- Ilt
•i4' .
4 der of the company as Midshipmen. They prnceeded
from Windsor Bridge in the tollowir ....order :—/elo- fe
,
',
,si narch, ten-oared boat ; Dreadnought, Mars, Veteran, hi
Defiance, and Rival, each eight oars, and Mercury, d
I six ditto. On their arrival at Surly Hall, a most ex-1 d
• - cellent repast was laid out on tables on the lawn ter I
SOO of the Gentlemen, consisting of every delicacy of a
the season, and wines in abun4ance. As soon as the' n
Gentlemen had regaled, they again took to their
boats, rowed round the point opposite the mansion of I e
the late Mr. Walsh, the fine band of the Stafford Mi- i, e
/itia playing on the water, which contributed to the ;
gaiety of the scene, and concluded the diversions of ; t
the day with a brilliant ilisplay of fire-woeke en their , 1
return to the bridge. During the discharge of tae ! i
variegated rockets, wheels, &c. the Gentlemen rowed ' i
three times through the bridge and round Carter's-i i
Island, and certainly shewed their juveni:c skill and' ,
dexterity to be unequalled by any of the old school. ' 1
A geeat concourse of spectators were present, among I i
wholii were many of the Nobility, but a gloom per-1 i
vaded, in consequence of the lamented absence of the ,
Royal Family. ;
ROYAL MACSOLEUU AT WINDSOR.—Prev ions to
• the death of the Plineeis AMELIA, it had been the'
wish of his Meeesre Its have a burial place for the
Royal Family ;—.and after consulting with his'
Surveyor Geeeral, and several other architects, '
on the subject, 'Cardinal I.Volsey-'e Tomb-house
was fixed upon fir a vault. Since November, 1010,
i.' workmen have been busily employetfin this building,
. and it is now in such a state of forwardness, that the
public may be ewlbled to form a just estimate of the i
grandeur and extent cf this Royal Sepulchre. It is I
built after del manner of the Egyptianvaults,being 100
feet in length, 30 feet in width, and 14. feet in depth. 1
In the recess at the end of this vault is intended to be I
deposited the remains of their present MAJEATIES; and i
along the passage are arranged depositories for the
future Kings of England. On each side are fleeted ;
four tiers, divided into eight compartments, making in ;
the veleile seventy-two depositories for the Royal Fa-!
mealy and the children at the Royal Blood. It is
to communicate with the choir of St. George's Cha- I
, •
pet, and to he built of L.i.% freestone, After the Go- :
; .thic ordei of iirchiteeture. Over this spacious tomb se ill ,
be erected a Chapterehouse for the knights of the Gar- !
ter, arched over with a Cielii:g of fine worai work. As
se et as it is completed, the body of. the Princess i\sea-
.
LIA will be removed into it. This fine stone edifice"
is situated at the ea-; end of St. George's Chapel, I
and was built by litury Vllth, as a burial place for
himself and successors ; but this Prince afterwards al-1
tering his purpose, began the mitre neble structure at 1
Weetminster, and this fabric remained neglected un- '
' til Cardinal Wolsey obtained a grant of it trim King 1
. Henry V 11101.—Wolsey, Nrith a prointion of expence
ee
r unknown to former ages, designed and burin here
a most sumptuous monument foritimself,frorn whence
the building obtained the name of NVolsey's Tomb-
. i house. At the time of the Cardiaal's disgrace, the
) tomb was so fir executed, that anedotto, a statuary
of Flo; etice, received 4.250 2ucats for what he had al-
reedy done, and .e3SO. ISs. sterling was paid for
gilding only one half of this sumptuous monument.
The Cardinal dying soon after- his retirement frotn
Court, wee privately hurried at Leicester, and the mo.
nument remained unfinished. In 161, it became
the plc ,der of the Parliament party, and the statues
and figures of. exquisite Workmanship, made for the
ornament of the tomb, were sold to carryon the war.
King James the Second converted this building into
• Popish Chapel, and mass was publicly performed
here. The cieling was executed by 'ferrite, who is
considered to have here excelled 16:Other performan-
ces. The walls were finely ornamented and painted;
but it • lin-became neglected, and after the abdication
.
1, ' of limes If. it remained in ruins until the year 1800,
1 when his MAJESTY ordered the windows and external
. ',. yOlis to be repaired. .
