THE THEATRES. DRURT-LANE.—ThiS Theatre opened last night with the Tragedy of Pizarro, the popula rity Of which, notwithstanding the ingenious va riety of its qualities, seems to have passed its day, though there was no striking want of merit in the performance of the chief characters, viz. Rolla (W ALLA CK), Alonza (AnclIER), Cora (Mrs. WEST), Elvira (Mrs. BuicN). The play was followed by a now drama, entitled Abon Hassan, derived from that prolific storehouse of romance 77te Arabian Nights' Entertainments. — The story is simple : Abuzz Hassan (1101 N) had offended the Ca/ph (BEnroftn), by marrying Zu linza (Miss GRA 0 . 00 N), and the latter having, also offended the Sultana ( rs. they had both been discarded from the Court, reduced to beggary, and no relief was to be given to the husband by the Caliph till the death of the wife, nor to the latter by the Sultana till the death of the husband. In this extremity they devise the expedient of deceiving the Caliph and Sultana by each pretend ing the death of the other. In consequence they are both respectively. restored to favour ; but a dispute arises between the Caliph and the Sultana as to which of the parties are really dead. They therefore agree to visit the corpses, in order to settle the point, and deeming them both deaf?, they offer a reward to those who shall as certain which died first.—The reward tenftts bah of the supposed defunct to start up and claim it. The Caliph and Sultana are not of fended, but diverted by the ingenuity of the! trick, and the married pair are not only forgiven! but rewarded. A lively part, named Zabouc, is! given to 114 nm, the great prop of pieces of this description, and the whole was favourably re-! ceived. The chief purpose of this piece was to! introduce some new Music, from VON WEBER, the popular composer of the day, and as the per formers in general gave sufficient support to their, respective characters, and the scenery is various and splendid, the Manager will probably be in- demnified for the expence of its preparation. COTENT..GAR DEN.—The Play of Pizarro also invited the. holiday visitors to this Theatre, last night. Mr. YOUNG, whose return to town after an absence partly arising from illness, and partly on an engagement at Edinburgh, was greeted with very warm applause, was the Rolla. There appeared to be some traces of his recent illness in his performance of the part, but on the whole it was marked by his usual judgment and energy. Miss LA.cy, now one of the very best of London Actresses, gave great spirit and effect to Elz,ira, and COWPER, always judicious, gave feeling and prominence to the part of Alonzo. There was no novel treat to the holiday folks, as usual at the present season. r.,..4.,..; : -.) 1 * /5 ~,,, ,a..c.,.. ~,_.1744.4.,taz..cr1rrA,..,Fti":.,,, :._...,,,,, ~ 4- 4 ~:•,,artprv,-.,1 '!',. • - '- - c ,r.•%N•i.,'(,..5.,,4 . ~i .- 4 , ,. ~ , _ I's `r{ ..., .

The racing season for 1825 commences to-morrow, with this great meeting; which, whether we consider the number and amount of the stakes, the celebrity of the horses, and their riders, the length of the meeting, and its influence on the bet ting for the Epsom and . Doncaster races, or the rank by which it is attended, is the most interesting and important in the king dom, and, as usual, has attracted all the high sporting charac ters to this otherwise very insignificant town. The oldest inha bitant cannot call to memory a greater assemblage of Nobility and Gentry, at so early a period prior to the meeting ; not a bed is to be procured, and servants are pouring in every hour for the purpose of engaging apartments for their masters, many of whom, we expect, will meet with sorry accommodations. His Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived at five o'clock, and was greeted with the hearty cheers of the visitors, and a merry peal from the bells. Amongst other arrivals there are— Dukes of Rutland, Grafton, and Portland ; Marquis of Gra ham ; Earls, Sefton, Stadbroke, Lowther, Jersey, Oxford ; Lords—Lvnedoch, Dunwieh, Anson, R. Manners, C. Man ners, G. H. Cavendish, J. Fitzroy; Sir J. Shelley and Sir J. Byng ; Gen. Grosvenor, Hon. Mr. de Roos, Hon. Mr. Gre villa, Hon. Mr. lrhy ; Colonels Thornton, [richly, Lyster, and Russell; J. Douglas, Esq., S. Wortley, Esq., M.P., Batson, Esq. ; Messrs. Hammond, Stonehewer, Haywood, Walpole, &c. Before one o'clock the beauty of the weather drew together a great number of betting men before the rooms, from whence they shortly after moved to the heath agreeable to custom, where a gratifying sight presented itself in the exercise of the different horses entered for the various stakes of the week, most of whom bore their appointed riders. Many of the Nobility above-mentioned were present, and the whole heath resounded with the praise of the action and symmetry of Rufus, who is here as great a favourite as can be imagined. In the evening the Jockey Club dinner was well attended, S. Wortley, Esq. M.P. in the chair. There were present Lords Lyndoch, Anton, Stradbrooke, and G. H. Cavendish ; Sir. J. Byng, Hon. Mr. De Roos, Hon. Mr. Irby, Colonels Lyster and Russell, Messrs. Batson, Walpole, D. Hammond, Crawford, Haywood, and Stonehewer. At the dinner the weights of the horses for the handicup were fixed, the stake itself baying been made up before dinner to enable trainers to put their horses in muzzle. There was a great deal of betting on the Riddles wOrtli ; Rufus for a considerable time standing at even against the field, but at last left off as under : RIDDLE! 55 to 50 the field agst Rufus 6 to 1 agst Elizabeth 7 to 1 aist Lord George CRAVEN 4 to 1 agst Secomlsight 5 to I apt Streatham 6:to 1 agst Ganymede 1 9 to 2 agst Rufus 6 to 1 agst Muleteer 10 to 1 agst Webb colt 10 to 1 agst Defiance 4 to 1 agst Aline 6 to I agst Tontine II to 1 agst Pastime WORTH. 10 to 1 agst Acteon 10 to 1 agst Wryndham's 100 to 6 cost Blue Stockings.

The horse when down rolled over him. TILE EPPING HUNT.-At Epping, the glory of Easter Monday was the famous stag hunt—more famous than John Gilpin's race—for many Gilpins mounted their hobby horses yesterday who never rode before. There was an unusual con course of people enjoying the jollity 'of the scene, which was as motley as horse and foot could make it. The steel knights of WThitechapel were predominant in the throng, and nearly first in the chase, all eager to be in at the death, in order to have the first cut. Before night the followers of hound and horn had strange tales to tell, Of hair-breadth 'scapes, and noble feats of nuns-- The stag's lung hunt, and wine's carousing charms. G B.E ENWIc it FAlR.—This is almost the only one of the popu- lar amusements that remains. Stepney, Hampstead, Westend, and Peckham, Fairs have been crushed by the Police, that " stern rugged nurse" of national morality ; and although Freenwich Fair continues, it is anything but what it used to be. Greenwich, however, will always have a charm, — the fine Park remains —trees, glades, turf, and the view from the Observatory, one of the noblest in the world— before, you the towers of those palaces built for a monarch's residence, now ennobled into a refuge from life's storms—an asylum for those gallant defenders of their country, after their long -and toilsome pilgrimage—post tot naufragia tuff; then the noble river ; and in the distance, amidst the din and smoke, appears the " mighty heart" of this mi g hty em pire ; these are views worth purchasingat the expence of b e i ng obliged to visit Greenwich fair in this day of its d ec li ne .— " Punch" and his " better half" seemed to be the p res idi ng deities in :the fair, so little of ineriment was there to be found. In the I'ark, however, the scene was different ; it was nearly filled with persons of all ages : the young came there for amuse ment, to see and b' seen—the old to pay their customary annual visit. On the hills was the usual array of telescopes; there were also many races, anti many sovereigns in the course herd of of others the com petitors,the ;. of the day changed hands on the event of them ; but one race in particular deserves remark , not that there was any inglischaracter,lh them appearance, or speed circumstances . in it that afforded amu sement was the thing in to the dis honesty of the stakeholder, who, as t h e parties had just reached the goal, scampered off with the stakes, amidst the shouts of the by-standera, and the 111-concealed chagrin of the two gentlemen who had foolishly committed . their money to the hands of a stranger. The day, on the whole, passed off well ;we only heard of one accident—a boy, in racing down one of the hills,. slipped, and was t h rown on his head ; he was borne away lifeless. Two men were the other day quarrelli ng i n the Where," at length voc i ferated ee o a great pat•ston, " wh ere w i ll ye srtre them,et : : find two greater rogues than thee and Ib e Y ilwe'd rogue st be puzzled,l fancy — se G ood bye, brother !"—This was a clincher —his op. ponent stood naute--and the orator marched off triumphant. • • "" 4 -. MR. O'CONNELL:I Mr. O'Comnsu., on arriving in Dublin, ad dressed a long and rather dull letter to the Editor of the Morning Register, from which we have made some extracts : " Merrion-square, March 31, 1825. " MT DEAR SlR—After what occurred in the House of Commons on Monday last, I have no difficulty in requesting you to print my rough draft of the intended Emancipation Bill. I am sincerely thankful to that excellent gentleman, Sir Francis Burdett, for his conduct on that occasion; and I am the more indebted to him for it, because it was done with out any kind of interposition of mine. I had made up my mind • to submit to the imputation cast upon Me by Mr. Tierney— however loathsome I felt that imputation to be,--but I was ready to sacrifice my best feelings, rather than, by any explana tion, to risk the cbsturbing in any way, on my account, the present pleasing prospect of effectuating a hearty reconciliation between all the people of Ireland, by communicating to all equal rights to, and an equal interest in, the constitution. 1 should have consoled myself, as I have often done before, by the consciousness of not deserving the censure. " There are, however, some other points on which I deem it a duty to set myself right with the people of Ireland, not•on my own account, but for their sake. " It is quite untrue that I ev2r, directly or indirectly, made. any compact with any person or persons whatsoever on the sub ject of the provision for the Catholic Clergy, or the alteration of the elective franchise. O With respect to Mr. Lawless's share in the Delegation. He has published the- opinion given by Lord Killeen on the subject. He has forgotten to state that Lord Killeen said that was merely his individual opinion; he has also forgotten to stale. , that, at the same meeting, Mr. O'Gorman, the then Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland, was called on, in tliepertbnuance ' of his duty, to decide the question, and that he,in Mr. Law- less's presence, decided that Mr. aseless was not a Member of . the Delegation. I will not dwell longer on this matter; it afflicts me to speak of it all, lest it should injure a person to whom I.4vould be unaffectedly anxious to render a service, if is my posTer. , . _. _. .„ " As to the ulterior advantages, which it Juts been more than insinuated that I was 'looking to, my answer is, I thitik, triumphant. It consists in the simple statement, that hetbre the Committee of the House of Commons, 1 obtruded my strong opinions in favour of Parliamentary Reform—and be fore the Lords, I stated, on my oath, 'my conviction that' universal suffrage would cure all the evils of the forty-shil ling system—its cruel and unfair controul—its briberies, and , its perjuries, 1 must say; I experienced on that, subject great kindness from Lord Harrowby. He gave me a ',easy opportu nity of explaining away that s entiment, by sug*pg.. in the i 6. shape of a question, that my preference of U 7 *la:4page was only comparative—that is, being better tha ' e Irish 40s. system, but not as being in itself desirable. I could not, how. ever, accept the compromise, although I was and am grateful for its being offered. I answered distinctly, that my opinion was fixed, that universal suffrage was, under proper regulations, the cure of all the evils in the representative system, and, in. . itself, a real good. " Does any man imagine that these radical sentiments, thus recorded for ever against me, are the sentiments of a place hunter ? " Let it, however, be recollected, that although my vanity may make me deem myself of importance, the sentence of strict truth would deprive me of any qu a lities hich could render me of any value to any party. " Let it also be recollected that it is improbable, nay, impos sible, that I should be selected for any promotion by an admi nistration, with Mr. Peel at the head of the Home Department, whilst he (and I do not blame him far it) deemed it a strong objection to the Emancipation Bill, that the rough draft of it should be sketched by me. " Let it also be recollected, that if Mr. Peel thus fairly and openly (as became him) stated his objection, I was also thrown overboard, civilly to be sure, but not the less distinctly, by Mr. Tierney, the leader of the Opposition. After this, may I venture to ask, with which of the political parties is it that I have acted dishonestly ? " I hope the length of this letter, and the uninteresting na ture of its contents, will deter the English Newspapers from copying it; and, disgusted as I feel at being the subject of so many of my own words, I still cannot dismiss the topic, with , out, for the last tine, asserting, that I have made a greater pecuniary sacrifice to the Catholic Cause than any other indi vidual. Let the fact be known :—During the same space of the last year, for which, in the present year, short as that space was, I remained in London, I see, by my fee-book, that I re- . ceived in my profession one thousand and forty-one guineas. I care not for my expenses ; 1 care not for the losses, in next Term, consequent upon bing left out of all the causes tried in this interval. I thank God I have made THAT SACRIFICE; and now I will add, that, having thus distinctly boasted of it, I have repaid.maelf, and that the public are no longer my debtors." . SUMMER THEATRES. ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE (ASTLEY's)..—TIIIS favourite place of resort commenced its season last night most auspiciously, under the management of Messrs. Ducitow and WEST. Buonaparte's Invasion of Russia, or the Conflagration of fifoscow, is a most effective piece, as well in point of im posing military spectacle (including cavalry and infantry), as in fine scenic and decorative display. DUCROW'S equestrian exploits in the circle are as astonishing and gratifying as ever. SADLER'S WELLS.--This long established Theatre also opened with great successt The -performers were all new, and each displayed considerable ability and taste. THE SURREY TH F. ITH F..-'llii3 commodious niece of amusement presented no less than three new pieces from the pen of Mr. C. Dinotx (the Manager), all of which proved deservedly successful; and altogether the utmost pro mise was afforded. ROYAL OBURG.—Two new pieces were pro duced at this elegant Theatre, both of which went off with de served applause. KZA N.--The audience of our Theatre are not remarkable for approving of public indecenies ; and the an nouncement of . Mr. KEAN's engagement was received, the other night, in the menet that might have been expected. Be tween the play and farce, Mr. MIIIIRAY, the Alanager, pre sented himself to intimate the advent of his hero, but had no sooner delivered the message than it excited a pretty general expression of disgust and indignation, mingled, to be sure, with some applauses from one part of the house. When silence could be obtained, a Gentleman from the boxes addressed the Manager, and said that he should withdraw his patronage from the Theatre, that no part of his family should ever again be seed within its walls, and that he should he able to exert some in fluence in dissuading a large circle of friends from supporting a place of amusement in which there was so little regard for morality. Mr. Murray said, Mr. Kean was engaged before the notoriety of a certain event. We think that the public ought to be favoured with a more satisfactory explanation than this stale excuse of the agreement. If there is an agreement, we suppose that Mr. Murray, who knows his way to the Law Courts, is pretty well aware that he can he relieved from the contract, if, aince it Tray formed, the other party has become in competent and unfit to discharge the obligations which he had undertaken.—( Edinburgh Star. ) In consequence of the reduction of the import duty on foreign iron in England the prices of iron have risen considerably.

The Hiberniai,eam-boat is about to sail trorn Falmouth to Para, Mardnhani, Pernam buco, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. A Common Council is summoned for Thurs day next, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament to allow the importation of foreign grain under certain duties, and to make such alterations in the Corn Laws as may tie ' deemed expedient. TALma's last benefit in Paris (on the 21st ult.) was one of the most brilliant assemblages ever seen in the French capital. The vast Salle of the Opera House was com pletely filled ; the receipts amounted to 35,050 francs, about 1,4001. sterling. The amount of subscriptions on Saturday last, I I at Newcastle.upon.Tyne, for carrying into effect the Bail-road between that town and the city of 'Carlisle, was 32,5001. Within these last eight years (says The Canada Spectator) there have died in the village of Coganawaga, ten Indians, each of them past one hundred years of age. Some days ago, the curate buried a woman, aged 106. A Switint.cit.—A tall, thin, middle-aged man, dressed in a blue frock-coat, called at a gentleman's in Arlington-street,Camtlen-tow n , to look at apart ments. After having seen them, he agreed to take them for a lady and her daughter.— Being informed that it was customary to leave a deposit as security, he replied he had no. thing less than a 51. country note, of the A xbridge and Sornersetshir e Bank, Messrs.

Paste..---:.rhe library of this eccentric and learned man is not to be dispersed. • His will does not contain any directions as to its fate, but it.was hi; last. and anxioas desire that it should be kepi to,iether.' • Earify is by no means the character of the collection ; it contains few books which the University and British Museum Libraries do not also possess. The metaphysical portion of it is by far the most full and curious; anti is what Dr. Parr him sAf particularly appreciated, and collected with the most z.alous ardour. The religious controversies, and . all the tracts relating. to - British Church history, are highly valuable and complete. The classical portion of the library is well known : the theological part is very extensive, comprising the more recent German publications. It is much to be regretted that the Doctor never made a Cataloo• ue Ra;sounie, which, with his peculiar learning, would have been invaluable to the scholar and librarian. The estimated pecuniary worth of the entire collection varies from five to nine thousand pounds.— Many of the volumes are filled with valuable and, legible notes, in the Doctor's own Chinese character. .Several hun dred rings are bequeathed in his will to his numerous friends and acquaintance ; that for the Duke of Sussex, as of Royal blood, is to be of the value of six guineas. The bulk of Dr. Parr'a fortune is left between his two surviving grandchildren, with a handsome provision for Mrs. Parr. Ills own direc tions for his funeral were as eccentric as his living conduct. The rank of the respective pall-bearers, bearers, and mourners, was specially dictated by the deceased. The dinner was also ordered for the farmers who carried him to the grave—a cold j shoulder of veal and mutton, a pint of ale before the funeral, and a pint on their return, with two shillings each ! Mr. HowARD, the son of Lord Morpeth, a young man of sound political principles, and of great industry in public business, is mentioned as a candidate for this county in the Whig interest at the approaching general election. Mr. Bethell, of Rise, late High Sheriff, is also mentioned as intend ing to stand on the Tory interest.—( Leeds Mercury. ) A SEA CHAPLAIN'S RELIGION.—W hen tilt. Earl of CLAWCARTY was Captain of a man of war, and was cruising on the coast of Guinea, he happened to lose his Chap lain, who was carried off by a fever; on which the Lieutenant, a Scotchman, gave him notice of it, saying, at the same time, that he was sorry to inform him -that he died a Roman Catholic." " Well, so much the better," said his b-rdship. ~ o ot awa , m y Lord, how can you say so of a British Clergy man ?" " Why," said his Lordship, " because 1 believe I ' am the first Captain of a man of war that could boast of having a Chaplain who had any religion at all." Mr. II ATtiwAy , a respectable farmer of Toc kenham, who attended at hlalmesbary fair, had in the after noon been drinking with sorne - strangera in an upper room of an inn at Maltnes'oury ; and shortly , atterwards, we are informed, one of the strangers told th e servant ' that Mr, Ilathway was taken ill, requested that he might be Tait to bed, " and that he would soon be better." This req ues t w a s attended to; and with in a few minutes the strangers left thehouse. At about eight o'clock, some one, entered the bedroom to see how iiir. oath_ way was, when he was discovered a corpse ! Strong suspicions are entertained as to the cause of his death, as only sixpence was found in his pocket. A correspondent informs us, that when Mr. Hathway sat down to dinner, he had a consider s Ole amount of cash in his pocket, and that two respectable lookirnr individuals, whet were at the ordinary, retired with him after dinner into- a private room, and it was Observed, that when the waiter brought the glasses, one of them rose, and tools them in at the door, and it is suspected infused a poison into the liquor. The unfortunate man has left a widow and ten chil dren.—(Bath Journal.)

DISTRESSING CASE.— Eliza flarvey; an iota resting, well-dressed girl, only 17 years of-`age, was brought to Bow-street Office this day, from Covent-Garden watch-house, charged by Fitzgerald, a watchman in- Brydges-street, Co vent-garden, with being a receiver of stolen prp.: perty. It appeared from the watchman's state ment, that gangs of boys were in the habit of as . - sembling near the Theatres at night, just prior to their closing, and on the public leaving the Theatres they would have their pockets picked of their property, which was frequently handed• . to girls of the prisoner's description.
