FRENCH PLAYS, sT. JAMES'S

THEATRE.

It was expected that last evening Mademoiselle Rachel
would have made her debut in the character of Camille
in Coraeille's tragedy of Horace. Mr. Mitchell, we
believe, was in anxious expectation of the arrival of
Madame Rachel until a late hour in the afternoon, when
he received information that she had been taken sud-
denly ill at Lille, where she was fulfilling- an (-Nage-
merit. This cruel disappointment was announced to the
public by the following, placard, which was posted on the
door of the theatre.

" St. James's Theatre, Monday, July 6.
" Mr. Mitchell much regrets to announce thaz in- con-
rqu,,tice of the
SUDDEN ILLNESS OF M ADLLE.
the performances advortised for this evening must be
unavoidably. deferred. 'The certificate announcing
Madem.iselle Rachel's illness is dated from LillP, and
signed by
4' M. MAILLOT, Medecin en Chef do
l'llopital de Lille.
" M. LEONARD, Docteur en Medicia
de la Paculte de Paris.

" And countersigned by
" M. PAILLARD, Maire de la Ville de Lille.
" The indulgence of the subscribers and the public
is in consequence respectfully solicited."
Mademoiselle Thjazet, and M. Laront, were, how-
ever, at hand, and Mr. Mitchell. was fortunately en-
abled to avail himself of their services. F.r the per-
formances advertised there were substitukd Le Chevalier
du Gm t, with Lafont and Cattigny. La Lisette de
Beranger, a scene acted by Madetnoiseile I.hjazet.
The second act of Oentil Bernard, with Mad,mcaselle
Dejazet, and M. I,ifwat, and the farce of Passé Minuit.
with Cartigny arid Tourtois. Never did the several
artistes act better, and the audience seemed well pleased
that an opportunity had been aft,rded them of again
seeing the fascinating Dekzet in two of her favourite
characters. The illness of Mdlle. Rachel, and the con-
sequent extra representation of Mdlle. Dejazet last
evening, will cause no alteration in the performances an•
nounced for Mr. Mitchell'. b,:nefit on Wednesday, when
Mdlle. Dejazet will perform fur the last time this
season.

THE RAILWAY RELIEF BILL."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir.,—The above Bill has proved a complete failure,
owing to the minority of scripholders being FORCED to go on
with the various schemes.
It is quite clear, that unless something be done to stop the
progress of railroads, thousands of families must be ruined.
I would
ldbtehfeorree aforney Railway humblysuggest the following •
Bill obtains the royal assentthe
promoters thereof should prone that they have offered to
those parties who have signed the deeds, and who wish to
withdraw, a return of their deposit, and to release them from
all liabilities. This could not be a hardship on the company,
because it has the option of winding-up, dividing, and com-
mencing de novo.-1 have the honour to be, Sir, your
obedient servant, J. MORISON.

sack for the Derby, and even money offered on Pyrrhus the
First against anything for the St. Leger. Apart from the ,
batch of favourites we can only select Camera Obscure as

about her, to five or six hundred pounds, and 9 to I to about

Tatton Sykes, and the Peri colt, and should he start b

Humdrum, by Sir I tercules—A great pet for the Pertig
