REJECTION OF PAPISTS AT THE PROTESTANT COLL

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 " 7
sion" originally granted has been withdrawn, and the
Count Bathyany have been sent elsewhere. The arrangement:
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.
