D. 1440, under the title of "The Kynge's College of our Lady at Etone, by side Windsore," will always be an object of interest to the general visitor. The foundation of the college now comprises a provost and vice-provost, six fellows, a head and lower master, assistant masters, two conducts, seventy scholars, an organist, seven lay clerks, and ten choristers, with other subordinate officers. The school is divided into upper and lower, and each sub-divided into classes. A mathematical school-room has also lately been added, which is a building affording every possible convenience for the numerous classes in the college. Besides those scholars who are on the foundation, there are always a great number of the sons of the aristocracy and of persons of rank and fortune-these are called oppidans. The school, in 1860, numbered upwards of 800 scholars. The scholars on the foundation are interested in the annual election to scholarships at King's College, Cambridge, which was also an institution of its royal founder. Many of our greatest statesmen, divines, warriors, philosophers, and poets have been educated at Eton, and among its provosts may be mentioned two very celebrated individuals, Sir Henry Savile and Sir Henry Wotton, both of whom are interred in the college chapel. Eton College possesses a fine library, containing curisities and works of great interest and antiquity.-It can be viewed only by order of the provost, vice-provost, or fellows of the college. The quadrangle contains a fine statue of King Henry VI, the founder. The chapel, which is a fine specimen of the perpendicular gothic, has lately been considerably enlarged and richly beautified, including some elegant windows, illustrating the heroes who fell in the Crimean campaign, and who had been educated at Eton.-It may be seen by visitors applying to Mr. Burgiss, High-street, Eton. A large sum of money has recently been expended in erecting dormitories and other conveniences, including a beautiful library for the use of the Eton gentlemen.— This library may be viewed on application to Mr. Oakly, the librarian, who is always in attendance. The playing fields adjacent to the college are beautifully situated, and are used for cricket, foot-ball, and all other out-door recreations by the Eton gentlemen. In the town of Eton is a charity-school, founded and endowed by Mr. Porney, a native of Normandy, who was for many years a teacher of the French language at the college. RIDES AND DRIVES IN THE VICINITY OF WINDSOR. THE LONG WALK is generally allowed to be the finest avenue of the kind in Europe. It is a perfectly straight road from the grand entrance of the Castle to the top of a commanding hill called Snow Hill; on each side of the road is a double row of stately elms. The stranger who pursues the road to its termination on the hill will be amply repaid by a most charming landscape of the surrounding country. STATUE OF GEORGE III, erected in 1832, designed by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville and executed by Westmacott.-It is 26 feet in height, placed on a rocky pedestal about 30 feet. The effect produced by this colossal work at the terminus of so grand an avenue is extremely good. CUMBERLAND LODGE-formerly the residence of the Duke of Cumberland, son of George III-hence its name-is beautifully situated in the Great Park. About a mile beyond the Statue, in the vicinity of the Lodge, are-the site of the Royal Cottage of George IV-the Royal Chapel, the Conservatory, Vinery, and the Royal Industrial Schools. About a mile from Cumberland Lodge, on the way to Virginia Water, is an Obelisk, erected in commemoration of the Duke of Cumberland's victory at Culloden. VIRGINIA WATER.-This picturesque spot-the favourite summer retreat of George IV-is about six miles from Windsor, the route being through the Great Park. Amonst the principal spots, on the borders of the lake-which well repay a visit-are the Chinese Fishing Temple, the Hermitage, the Chinese Summer Room, the Stone Obelisk, the Cascade, the Stone Cave, the ornamental Ruins, (the Temple of Augustus, designed by Sir J. Wyatville) and the Royal Adelaide frigate. BELVEDERE.-This is a triangular fort, erected on Shrub's Hill, within ten minutes' walk of the borders of Virginia Water. The battery mounts 21 pieces of brass ordnance, from which are fired royal salutes upon the birthdays of the royal family. The guns were used during the campaigns of the Duke of Cumberland in 1745, by whom the fort was erected.-The visitor will find no difficulty, upon application at the Fort, to obtain the privilege of inspecting the interior, which contains a splendid banqueting-room, &c. BISHOPSGATE. From the Statue-instead of turning to the right, which leads to Virginia Water-by keeping the direct road you will arrive at Bishopsgate, on the road to Sunninghill; returning by the way of Old Windsor, forms one of the most lovely drives the neighbourhood affords. CRANBOURNE LODGE—is an object of interest from having been the residence of the late Princess Charlotte, who "dwelt there for a short time in her sunny youth, and "who is still dear to a nation's memory." All that now remains of the lodge is an octagon tower, the other portions having been long since razed to the ground. It is about four miles from Windsor, near Hardiman's Gate, on the road to Ascot. SUNNINGHILL-about six miles from Windsor and one from Ascot Heath. The salutary qualities of the mineral waters at "The Wells," and the beauty of the surrounding scenes, have been justly celebrated. ASCOT RACE-COURSE-A delightful ride of about seven miles through the Great Park. The course is considered one of the finest in the kingdom. RUNNYMEDE AND MAGNA CHARTA ISLAND.- A varied and pleasant four miles' drive from Windsor will bring the visitor to the far-famed Runnymede, where 'Magna Charta' was signed by King John at the request of the Barons. It is a long strip of land nearly two miles in length on the banks of the Thames. On one side of which is Magna Charta Island. In a small picturesque building on the island is the table, in an excellent state of preservation, on which the great charter was signed. The largest yew-tree, perhaps, in the world—supposed to have flourished upwards of a thousand years-is close to this spot; its girth, 6 feet from the ground, is 32 feet 5 inches. EGHAM-nearly five miles from Windsor-a town situated just beyond Ruunymede, and nearly close to the Thames. ENGLEFIELD GREEN-four miles from Windsor, where there are several mansions and villas, embracing splendid views of Windsor Castle and the surrounding country.

OLD WINDSOR—is a small village near the banks of the Thames, two miles from New Windsor. The celebrated Mrs. Robinson-the beautiful and unfortunate Perdita-who was dazzled by the influence and rank of George IV, lies buried in the churchyard under a stone monument, with an affecting inscription. DATCHET—a pleasant little village, on the South Western line of Railway, and one mile from Windsor. JPTON-The old church of Upton, mantled with ivy, which is an ancient Saxon structure, is now fast going to decay.
