THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.

The sport this afternoon was similar to Wednesday,
consisting of four even's, of which one only possessed
any importance beyond the amount, viz.—the 100 sovs.
Stakes, in which Planet, first favourite for the Derby,
and Epirote, winner of the Column, were pitted against
each other. Interesting as this race must have been to
sporting men, the excitement in the ring was small, and
the speculators even less numerous than on Wednesday ;
the result is given below ;—the immediate effect on the
Derby betting was to raise Planet to 6 to 1 and to send
Epirote to 20 to 1.

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele-
brity which Rowland's Kalydor continues to maintain, as an
active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the
skin, is, during the period of spring, most pleasingly evinced.
This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi-
p rating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for
unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and dis&dorst-
tions ; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency of
the skin and complexion. Its universally great demand O.'
cites the cupidity of unpriLcipled shopkeepers, who give the
title of " Kalydor" to compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astrin"
gents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by their repel-
lent action, endanger health. It is therefore imperative os
purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are 00
the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

A. new and original drama from the pen of .1\1:
Shirley Brooks, was produced at this Theatre
with the most complete success. It is entitled
The Creole; or, Love's-Fetters. The scene is laid
the ip
Island of Mauritius, at the time of the outbreak
of the French Revolution. The following description
of the social state of the Island at the time (extriete
from Mr. Pridham's work entitled " The Histor
of England's Colonial Empire"), will enable the
o
reader to understand completely the plot this mo.l
interesting drama :—" The Creole part of the popu-
lation made themselves remarkable by the intrepidity
they displayed on board the fleets of France, or b\
the efforts of individual enterprise. But the Euro-
tulooked with disdain upon the Creole, who, in
re, regarded the former as an adventurer. . • • Tit,
Islanders were held in contempt by the poor nobless(
of Mauritius, on account of their ignoble extraction
. It was remarked also, towards the latter end
of the century, the French inhabitants of
Mauritius appeared neither independent in their cir-
cumstances, nor easy in their minds, though the
'acted dress and gaiety. The con,;: i nof the slave
Nuthat of the lowest and most abjEct degradation.
Plumbers of these unfortunates had European blood
in thr vein; being the offspring of hasons between
the Planters and their slaves, but such a p-digree
(only increased their misfortune." Alphonse de Lyon
Mr. Leigh Murray), an officer in the French revo-
lutionary army, a Mauritian by birth, but educated
in Prance has succeeded to the possession of a large
estate in the Mauritius. His father has placed him
under the guardianship of Damiron (Mr. F. Ma-
thews) a planter, and has so left his property as to
deprive Alphonse of the power of emancipating any
of his slaves for five years. Damiron is largely in-
debted to the father of Alphonse, and wishes to bring
about a match between his daughter Virginie (Miss
Mary Seely) and Alphonse, so as to cancel the debt.
Alphonse, in his rides, has seen a beautiful creature
Louise Fauriel (Miss May), with whom he has fallen
desperately in love. Anthony Latour (Mr. Emery)
who, to repair his shattered fortunes, is anxious to
marry Virginie, but who has been reje,:ted with dis-
dain on account of his birth, knows of this penchant
of Alphonse and determines to exploite it to his own
advantage. Anthony possesses no property, and,
Moreover he owes a large debt to a Jew Bokes (ca-
pitally acted by Keeley), to whom he has
what English lawyers would designate as a warrant
of attorney upon the whole of his property as
security. Anthony, to further his own ends, under-
takes to introduce in public Alphonse to Louise, and
does so, but he introduces Louise to him as his slave.
It is too true. She was the slave of the father of
Alphonse, and a union between them is impos-
sible. He cannot emancipate her according to
the provisions of his father's will. He can-
not marry his slave according to the laws of
the island. His regiment disembarks, and here we
are introduced to his Lieutenant, Hyacinth St. Emilion
(Miss Dickenson), a dandy, but still a brave officer
and a capital swordsman, and to the Vivandiere of the
regiment, Bellona St. Mars (Mrs. Keeley) who
keeps the whole regiment in order. Bellona is present
at the discovery of the station of Louise, and Bokes,
pursued by a mob, enters, when she at once takes
hfitn under her protection, and expresses her regret
that she is not in Paris, where she would have got up
a little revolution on her own account, and have freed
Louise. Anthony Latour, then promises to Alphonse
that he should sell Louise to him and promises to
emancipate her, so that, being a free woman,
Alphonse may be enabled to marry her. Alphonse
falls into the trap, transfers Louise to Anthony: who
makes it a condition that Alphonse shall obtain for
hum
the hand of Virginie. Old Damiron at once
rejects such a mesalliance, preferring to brave Al-
Phonse and to encounter beggary, which will be his
doom if Alphonse calls upon him to liquidate his
rdebt,
_i to giving his daughter to a creole. Virginie,
'4)°, s equally opposed to the match. She has fallen
in love with the dandy Hyacinthe, and the conse-
quence is a duel between Hyacinthe and An-
thony, in which the latter is mortally wounded.
Anthony is brought in dying, but the creole
is determined to have his revenge ; he be-
queaths his slave to his cousin, a planter in the Nand
of Bourbon. Bokes, by command of Bellona, claims
ti Anthony's property as his, and the slave amongst
4.e rest, but Anthony appeals to the law of Mauri-
tius, which declares that no alien can hold a slave,
and Bokes being a Jew, is an alien, and cannot possess
slaves. The revengeful creole triumphs even in
Leath, when suddenly a shout is heard without. It
4.1
~,an arrival from France. A decree of the Conven-
Iwoo, abolishing slavery throughout the French
nminions, is put into the hands of the Governor.
4,9uise, no longer a slave, rushes into the arms of
Alphonse. Anthony dies, and the curtain falls.
This is au admirably built, admirably written, and
admirably acted drama. The interest never flags,
and its success was complete. We congratulate Mr.
Shirley Brookes on his success. He has produced
the most complete drama that has been presented to
the public for many a long day. The scenery
was very good, and the music, by Alexander Lee,
the prince of melodists, was beautiful exceedingly.
The melody, " Waves of gold in music breaking,'
sung by Miss Mary Keeley, is a gem. There are
divers excellent hits in the course of the dialogue;
among others we marked the following :—The Creole
debtor would fain do his Jew creditor and proposes
that as they are both individuals of a proscribed race,
they should enter into an alliance, an entente cordiale
against the rest ~f mankind. " Ah," replies the Jew,
"Entente cordiale. I don't exactly know what that
kneans but I suppose it is the French for humbug."
Thiswas received with three distinct rounds of ap-
plause by a house crowded to the ceiling.
