May 15. The parishes of St. Peter and Paul, and St. James, in Bath, perambulated their respective boundaries, agreeably to custom. In the afternoon, the Mayor, attended by some members of the Corporation, and numerous inhabitants, went on board a vessel at the bottom of the South Parade, accompanied by a barge belonging to St. James's parish, and went down the river, to the extent of the City boundaries, beyond Norfolk Crescent. At seven o'clock, the Mayor and some of his friends re-crossed the ferry in safety, and the boat returned for another party: 20 was the prescribed number, but before the boatmen could push off, several additional persons got on board, and, as it was feared, proved too heavy a freightage! When some yards from the shore, and where the river is particularly deep, the boat upset! Several saved themselves by swimming, a few by clinging to the upset boat, whilst some of their unfortunate companions were franticly snatching at their legs,—some individuals were rescued by the attending boats, and afterwards restored; but six persons were not extricated, till life was extinct.

This morning her Majesty, the Princesses Augusta and Elizabeth, attended by their Ladies in Waiting, went to Eton College, and were received by the Provost and the Heads of the College. The Prince Regent arrived directly after from London. In a short time the procession for the Montem was formed, and began to move according to their orders;

to view which there was the most brilliant assemblage of beauty and fashion that has been known upon any similar occasion for a number of years past. The young Gentlemen of the College proceeded on to Salt Hill, according to custom, in grand procession, attended by the bands of the Royal Horse Guards, and of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, in their full uniforms; the young Gentlemen receiving from the Royal Family,

the Nobility, and others assembled upon the occasion, the usual gratuities, which, we understand, amounted to upwards of 7004-After the Montem, the Gentlemen partook of a plentiful repast at the Castle and Windmill Inns. The following afternoon the young Gentlemen walked from Salt Hill in grand procession, to Frog. more, in their full Montem dresses, where they had the honour to be invited by the Queen. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Regent and the Princesses, were in readiness to receive them. They all appeared sensible of the honour conferred upon them, and were headed by the Masters of Eton College. They were regaled with wine, cakes, tea, and other refresh, ments. The weather proved remarkably fine, and the delightful gardens being in an excellent state, rendered the scene truly gratifying. The band of the Coldstream Regiment attended in the gardens in their regimentals, and played during the entertainment various pieces. Her Majesty had a select party of the Nobility and particular friends, whom she had invited to participate in the juvenile entertainment. The Gentlemen and Scholars belonging to the College left Frogmore highly gratified with the manner in which they had been received and entertained.

It was a very interesting meeting, and His Royal Highness, by his dignified manner, and happy and appropriate observations upon the different claims, added much te the interest of the day. In presenting the Silver Medal to Master Barlace for the drawing of a Portrait executed with his left hand, His Royal Highness discovered that the youth had suffered amputation since he had last seen him. The emotion he betrayed on the occasion for suffering humanity, evinced the proudest feelings of his nature. Mr. Aikin, who has recently been elected secretary in the stead of Dr. Taylor, deceased, delivered a most excellent address, setting forth in a masterly style the rise, progress, and objects of the Institution. On the following evening, in the Society's Rooms, a motion was made by Mr. Pearsall, that the "thanks of the Society be given to Arthur Aikin, Esq. their secretary, for the very able, scientific, and luminous address, delivered by him, and that the same be printed and circulated under the direction of the Committee of Correspondence and Papers;"
