THE COURT.—Her Majesty, the Prince Consort,
and the Royal Family, are expected to leave Buckingham
Palace for Windsor on Monday, the 3lst inst., for the purpose
of spending the Ascot-race week at the Castle, during which
period a succession of visitors will be received by her Majesty
at the royal residence. Should the Duchess of Kent not
leave England for the continent previously, her Royal High-
ness will take up her residence at Frogmore House during the
stay of the Court, which will not exceed a week or ten days,
at the Castle. Her Royal Highness will be accompanied to
Germany by his Set ene'Higliness the Prince of Lemingen,
who is now ona visit to he • Majesty.
ARRIVAL OF RARE tkuns.—A pair of those beau-
tiful and rare birds, the Impavan pheasant (hophernis impey-
anus) from the Himalaya Mountains, have been brought
over by Captain Watt, 6th Bengal Light Cavalry; they
arrived in the ship Alfred, and were yesterday deposited in
the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens. Nothing can exceed
the beauty of these birds, the male in particular. Larger
than any pheasant, the colours of the male are dazzling to
look on. They are the first ever brought alive to this country,
and must prove an object of great attraction.
MR. O'CONNELL.—GENOA, MAT 12.—Mr. O'Con-
nell arrived here on Friday, on his way to Rome, but has
been attacked by an illness so serious, that he is cositined to
his bed at the Hotel Feder, and one of his physicians tells me
this morning that it will be some days before he can be
moved, if he move at all. The other day (Monday) they
were much alarmed for his life, as in addition to his malady,
which is cerebral, he suffered from intestinal inflammation,
with a violent diarrhoea ; however, after applying leeches
and other remedies, the symptoms of immediate danger
disappeared, and he was better yesterday, and this morning

they concur in saying, that although he may rally, his con-
stitution is so enfeebled that it is scarcely possible for him to
survive a long time.—P.S. Many have called upon Mr.
O'Connell, but he receives no one.

EPSOM RACES.

Under ordinary circumstances, the Grand Stand Han-
