r REJECTION OF PAPISTS AT THE PROTESTANT COLLEGE
OF ETON.—We stated on the 9th ult. that Dr. Hawtrey, the
head master, had given permission to Count Bathyany to
send his two sons to Eton College ; and that, as they were
Papists, they had likewise received permission to attend the
Romish Chapel at Clewer, instead of the Protestant Chapel
attached to Eton College. We are informed by a correspond-
ent that, after the publicity thus given to the extraordinary
" permission" of the head master, it created the greatest
excitement, not only amongst the various authorities con
nected with the College, but amongst several of the dignita-
ries of the Established Church, many of whose sons are now
receiving their education at that ancient seat of learning.
The Provost, with whom the veto rested, was appealed to by
several highly influential individuals, connected with the
church, on the subject, and the result is, that the " permis-
sion" originally granted has been withdrawn, and the sons of
Count Bathyany have been sent elsewhere. The arrangements
for their reception at Eton had been so far completed, that
their tutor had been engaged, and they were to have entered
at the opening of the school, after the Christmas vacation,
about three weeks since.—Britannia.

FUNERAL OF SIR ASTLEY COOPER, BART.—Through-
out the whole of Monday the vicinity of Guy's Hos-
pital was crowded by innumerable persons desirous of wit-
nessing the funeral obsequies of the above talented and
highly-esteemed individual. The mortal remains of the de-
ceased were removed in a private manner at six o'clock in
the morning from the late baronet's house in Conduit street.
Hanover-square, accompanied by the immediate members of
his family, and deposited in the committee-room of this
ancient hospital, which was hung with black for the occasion.
In this chamber arrangements were made for the numerous
friends of the deceased and visitors to view the coffin, pre-
viously to its being deposited in the vault of the chapel be-
longing to the institution. This apartment is situated in the
left wing of the quadrangle, facing the chapel. In the
course of the day, till two o'clock, many hundred persons
were admitted to view the preparations. The coffin was
placed in the centre of the room; on the lid of the coffin
was inscribed " Sir Astley Paston Cooper, Bart. G.C.H.,
died Feb. 15th, 1841, aged 73." Over the above were the
armorial bearings of th deceased. The collar, badge, and
jewel of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order, and the riband and
cross of the Legion of Honour, presented to the deceased
by the late King of France, were deposited on the lid of the
coffin. •At half-past two o'clock the quadrangle of the hos-
pital was filled by medical students and most of the princi-
pal gentlemen of the medical profession in London. There
were also numerous ladies present, all attired in deep mourn-
ing. At this hour the chapel doors were opened, and the
galleries immediately filled by students and members of the
profession ; the body of the building was reserved for the
governor of the institution, the mourners, and the ladies.
At three o'clock the coffin was removed from•the dining-
room, and the procession moved towards the chapel.—Morn-
