lower rates being established on uccount of the reduced
state of the market, but engagements were made for

The Stack-market was active, with slight fluctuations
in prices. Six per Cent. Treasury Notes sold at 1 per

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The morning perform-
ance, next Thursday, for the purpose of affording the younger
branches of families the opportunity of witnessing The Desert,
with its oriental grandeur, and illustrated by the mammoth
establishment of ➢ir. Ilughes, including the two elephants,
twelve camels, and a troop of horses, is exciting great inter-
est, which has been materially increased by the communica-
tion that this unprecedented representation will be attended
by the Royal Family. The second act of The Bohemian Girl
will precede the spectacle ; and it has been so arranged that
the entire entertainment, beginning at two o'clock, will ter-
minate at half-past four.

Bell Life in London, of May 2, will have the
fullest and most correct particulars of Chester Races. " Bell's
Life" will contain, on Sunday, May 9, a perfect chart of the
different race courses on Newmarket-heath, showing dis-
tinctly the positions and lengths of each, their rises and falls,
snrveyed with great care by Mr. J. F. Clarke, of Newmar-
ket. The want of such a guide, with comprehensive expla-
nations, has long been wanting; and, as it will be a source of
continual reference, we would recommend those who desire
to possess it to order extra papers. A sixpence enclosed to
Mr. Clement, jun., No. 170, Strand, will insure a copy of
Bell's Life at any time by return of post to any part of Eng-
land, Scotland, or Ireland. The Newmarket, Epsom, and
Bath Spring Meetings, with the French Steeple Chases, were
given in Bell's Life in London, of April 18, to the extent of
seven folio columns.

MR. OTONNELL.—The Debuts says—" On the 22d
of April, at eleven in the morning, Mr. O'Connellhaanpdlahinis,
suite, consisting of his son Daniel O'Connell, his
his physician, and one servant, embarked at Lyons on board
the steamer which runs from that city to Valence. It had
been arranged in Lyons that the illustrious invalid should
remain in some town in the south of France until his strength
should permit him to continue his journey to Rome." The
Gazette de Lyons says—" We saw O'Connell step out of the
carriage which brought him down to the steam-boat, and we
experienced an indefinable feeling of sadness. ' What I' said
we, is this the man who filled the world with his name, and
made England tremble ?' (I) Life seems to have flown from
the Liberator's countenance. He advanced slowly, resting
on his physician and his chaplain, heedless of the persons
who bowed to him as a mark of respect, and who had come
to take a last farewell of the persons of his suite. It seemed
to us as if we had before us Ireland still strong in her power-
ful Catholic organization, but sinking and dying. May
Heaven protect O'Connell and Ireland! Drs. 'Bonnet and
Viricel, who have attended O'Connell during his stay here,
have recommended that he be accompanied by a physician
from Lyons, and Dr. Lacour has been selected. Thus it is
to a Lyons physician that the precious life is intrusted for
the future."
