The object of the Oude Railway Company may be very briefly defined—to introduce into the newly-acquired terri tories of Oude the benefit of railway communication. The kingdom of Oude has recently been incorporated into the dominions of the Hon. the East India Company, and the advantages of British supremacy will be most generally ap preciated by the improved means of communication which, among the other changes, will be introduced. The late Governor-General of India, in a Minute, dated 18 , h June, 1855, states, with reference to Oude becoming a part of the British territory—" I entertain a confident belief that they (the Hon. Court) will at length see speedily accom plished those happy results which Lord Wellesley too san guinely anticipated from the operation of the Treaty of 1801; and that the British Government will then indeed become the instrament of restoring' to affluence and prosperity one Of the most fertile regions of the globe." The country lies contiguous to the upper portion of the East Indian Railway Company's line, which runs parallel with and at no great distance from the capital of Oude, for about 200 miles, and into which the entire traffic conveyed upon the proposed lines in Oude would flow, at Cawnpore and Benares. The following extracts from the Calcutta Review for last June give the most authentic and recent account of the re sources and physical capabilities of Oude : " Oude is undoubtedly one of the most fertile provinces in India. Its surface extends over about 23,740 square miles. "The Tarn forest, as well as the arm branching out from it and known as the Gogurnath and Khyreegurh jungles, fur nishes the finest timber in the world. The sisu or sheethum, the fine toon, the teak, the sankoo, the dhauk, and the mag. nificent ebony and sandal trees here grow in unsurpassed splendour. Little is known out of Onde of the resources of these magnificent woods. One or two enterprising gentltrnen, l es s ignorant than others, have, however, taken advantage of these rich natural resoureca and acquired fortunes. The ca pabilities of the country have never been fully developed. Under a strong and paternal Government only will all its mines of wealth be fully brought to light. " Now that annexation has taken place, a railroad will be among the greatest benefits the people of Oude can receive at our hands. Cities such as Fyzabad and Byramghat might rival Cawnpore and Lucknow in importance ; and with the greatest ease our merchants might obtain large supplies of borax, indigo, and saltpetre, which are now comparative l y high as articles of commerce from the very expensive and tedious modes of communication." " Of the articles of commerce .which Oude furnishes, we must say a few words. The trade in hides and horns has been in existence for several years. Thousands and thou sands of horned cattle in a wild state, swarm in the hill forests of the Term and the jungles of the interior. There hides are rotting by thousands, and horns are lying about by hundreds of thousands, only requiring the trouble of being . picked up to be saved from destruction. Under a govern ment where roads and a rolice are not myths trade in these might be very productive, Tallow, already a considerable article of commerce, could also be obtained in greater quan tities ; for hides, horns, and a good portion of the fat of the cattle, wild and tante, with which Oude abounds, are now literally thrown away. " Oude might yield indi . ,To as to quantity, at least half of the amount produced in Bernal, and as to quality, as good as that grown in the Tirhoot a ud the Doab." "The great article, h o wever, of exportation is saltpetre, which, as already," stated, is found in great quantities impreguatin g the alluvial soil of the country. With a European peace, and the permission to export saltpetre to An.,eries, the nitre produc ing soil of Oude will be particularly c oiled into requisition ; for unlimited supplies might be sent to the English, French, and American markets. From 80,000 to a lakh of maunds might be calculated upon yearly from this province alone, and we firmly believe that when Oude is ono* intersected by roads and railways, the Gogra navigated, and its streamlets bridged, it may become the most productive :land of all India. " We have said enough to show what generally unknown resources Oude possesses, how, once fairly developed, this country may become of primary importance in the India n mercantile world; how, with a network of roads, railways, and steamers throughout the length and breadth of the land, it could be made to yield large profits to the speculator, and princely revenues to the government that owns it ; how its , or if allowed to stand, could be jungles could be cleared made to contribute to the ends of commerce ; we have dwelt on the importance of its rivers, the resources of its trade, and the character of its inhabitants, and have shown by statistical tables how great improvements may be hoped for. We have seen what Oude is, we have shown what it may become ; we shall be glad if aught we have written shall contribute to effect the change." The following extract from a communication received from General Sir James Outram, K.C.B. the English R es id en t a t Oude, upon the subject, fully confirms the accuracy of the foregoing statement :- 1 ' I do not hesitate to say that the early introduction of a railway into that country will do more to secure its prospe rity than any other measure that could be devised." " (ludo is an extensive and fertile territory, only requiring improved means of communicationtocidasevseelcoupree as s s an gr y ea o t th r e e ; dominions ; and th e d l sources: It is perfectly tranquil, an portion of the East India C om p any's Railway (ompany may rely upo n m y cordial support and as sistance, wheneverlitimay be required, towards attaining so important an oisject, and securing so great a benefit to both the Government and the people." The sketch map shows the proposed lines of railwa t y h ; e t l h in e e ir s connection with the East Indian Ra ilwa y , and with iv i t system proposed by Captain Yule for Rohilcund ; f ro m which e be seen that they together const itute a comprehensive of railways, without arty conflicting interests, and eacuhntiies con tributing to the prosperity of the ot her, and of the countries traversed. The country is unusually- favourable for railway workossi There are no engineering difficulties. The levels are almost uninterrupted throughout. The lines proposed to be constructed connect Cawnpore, on the East Indian Railway, with Lucknow, the residence of the Governor-General's political agent; whence three lines radiate —one to Fyzabad, another by Kyrabad, Shahabad, and Shah 3ehanpore to Bareilly and the Rohilcund Railways ; and a third by Sultanpore and Juanpore to Benares, where it again again joins the East Indian Railway. The entire length of all the proposed lines is about 45 0 miles : but the company propose to commence with the sec tion from Cawnpore to Lucknow, about 50 miles. The desirableness of extending the railway system through. out India as rapidly as possible is acknowledged by all who have given the subject serious consideration ; but the impe rative necessity for the earliest completion of the great trunk lines renders it a measure of policy to limit any new lines to the construction of the shortest and most important sections at present, cud that their further extension should be depen dent upon, and that they should be executed in the order of, their relative importance in the great system or network which will before long cover and connect the entire country. The cost of these lines will not, it is believed, exceed an per mile, incl us i ve o f car rying stock ; and a verage of 9 , 0001 - the practicability of working Indian railways at a moderate ,cxpenditure has been already fully established by the ex perience of the East Indian and Bombay lines. In compliance with the principle sanctioned by Parliament, wi, th regard to the constitution of the East India Directors, in i the last India Bill, and with a view to secure the necessary amount of local knowledge e nd ex one-third of the di rec tors must have been resident in the Bengal or the Neal. ,-west provinces of India. The directors are in communication with the Hon. East India Compa; ay, with a view to place this company upon the same basi s as the other Indian railway companies, under a guarantee A NEW AND IMP ORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful cperation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is uaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-1,2, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five. pOCKS'S CELEBRATED READING N....)

It is a glorious sight to behold a people girding themselves up to defend their independence. Hence no man with a heart can dissemble his lively sympathies. All honest men manifest them with an unanimity and an energy which drown the malevolent insinuations of those mean slaves who abhor every liberal idea, and who are dead to every generous feelin. In the midst of this concert of well-deserved praise, would it be becoming that a voice from the democratic party should tell some unpleasant truths to the Swiss ? I have a long time he:i ated, but, after mature reflection, I am persuaded that it will render a service to democracy in general as well as to Switzerland itself. It is well that on the eve of battle the champion of nationality and of liberty should be invited to purify his conscience from all stain. It is well that a voice whose sincerity cannot be doubted should tell the Swiss at this solemn um- " nient, " Brothers, take care 1 It - is not just that while you are defending liberty at home you should be the instruments of oppression abroad. See what the illustrious Kossuth gained by voting in the Hungarian Diet enormous subsidies of men and money to aid the Emperor of Austria to reconquer the Lombardo-Venetian provinces —the insurgent students of Vienna marching to fight as volunteers against the insurgents of Italy—the patriots of the . National Parliament of Frankfort declaring them selves hostile to Italian nationality—the French , Republic employing its cannon and its bayonets, which might have liberated Europe, to replace the, despotic Pontiff of Rome on his blood-stained throne." In the affair of Neuchatel, Switzerland claims from Prussia, with calm and courageous dignity, the indefeasible right which every nation possesses , of giving itself the form of government best suited to it. At the same time the exercise of this right is prevented at Naples, particularly, and above all, by a pretorian guard of from 12,000 to 15,000 Swiss. It is, in fact, evident, to the whole world that tyranny could not be maintained in Naples in a durable manner without the support of that pre torian guard. One can very well understand that generous souls should hasten voluntarily where the battles of liberty are fought. Italy will never forget that it was for justice against iniquity that in the years 1848 and 1849 the brave Swiss shed their blood at V;cenza and Venice. One can comprehend likewise to a certain point tsat volunteers may engage in foreign countries to serve as soldiers in war time, particularly in coun tries which have not and cannot have a large standing army. But the King of the Two Sicilies has a numerous national army which he might easily increase if he wished, as the recruiting system in force in his territories is similar to that of France. It is not to carry on war that he takes Swiss troops into his pay, but to maintain despotism in the country. They are not soldiers he collects in the Swiss moun tains, but sbirri. One is certainly too severe on this poor King, who conscientiously carries on his trade of tyrant. A part, and a great part, of the reprobation should fall on the instruments he employs ; on the vile mercenaries - who sell their souls for the service of tyranny. What would public opinion throughout Europe say, what would diplomacy itself say, if the Bour bon of Naples, in place of having a pretorian guard of 12,000 or 15,000 Swiss, had one of 12,000 or 15,000 Prussians ? And yet it would be less odious to see despotism served by the subjects of a King than by the citizens of a Republic. It is melancholy to be forced to assert that with respect to this scandalous traffic the moral sense of the Swiss nation, iin other respects so honest and so noble, appears to be perverted and paralysed. When those mercenaries return home with the competence acquired at the price of blood--.not of their blood, but of the blood and tears of the vic tims of the tyranny they have served—they enter jute the full enjoyment of their civil and political rights, and they find among their fellow citizens that regard and consideration accorded to those who have gained their fortune by honourable means. Public opinion in Switzerland stigmatises not (as far as I know) one of the most dishonourable actions a man could commit. Some laws have been enacted since 1849 with the apparent object of preventing enrolments for foreign service. It would be very easy to prove that those-laws are bad, and bully executed. It is sufficient to mention the fact, that there are at 12,000 or 15,000 satellites of despotism bearing the name of Swiss soldiers. So remarkable a fact proves the insufficiency of those laws, and could not exist without the material or moral com plicity of the nation itself. It is for the nation, therefore, to look to it, to render its legislation effective, its magistrate vigilant and severe, its morals worthy of a free people. Its honour is at stake. It cannot, it ought not, permit that the Swiss name should be longer stained with this dis grace..._ - _ _ _ _ - I will not speak of the old capitulations, which have now scarcely any importance. They exist at present only as regards two regiments whose effec tive is reduced one-half in consequence of the pro hibition to enrol since 1849. For want of better reasons extenuating circum stances are pleaded. It is said, "What will you have of it ?" It is a peculiarity, and a particular custom of our country. We supply soldiers much in the same way that Savoy supplies sweeps. I have lready proved that they are not soldiers, but sbirri. The speciality to supply sbirri would be an infamous speciality. What would be thought of a nation who would say, our speciality is to sup ply executioners ? It is with pain that I employ such language towards a nation which has so many ancient and modern claims to the esteem and friendship of every elevated mind, but there are some ulcers which can only be treated by the actual cautery. I rely on the co-operation of every honourable man in Europe who has faith in justice and human dignity. I rely likewise, and more particularly, on the co-operation of the Swiss, who love their coun try with an intelligent and manly love. Children and slaves deny their faults. Upright and free men confess and correct them. MANIN. Paris, Dec. 30, 1856. The Swiss Government have notified their intention to raise a federal loan of 480,0001., in virtue of the authority recently granted, and which was to the extent of 1,200,0001. Of this 480,0001. the portion to be sub scribed in Switzerland is 100,0001. The remainder is to be raised abroad. The bonds are be of 201., 401., and 2001., and they are to bear 5 per cent. interest, to be issued at par, and to be redeemable in 20 years by a sinking fund with annual drawings. GREAT SNOW STORM ON THE YORKSHIRE MOORS.— The moors of Yorkshire have been visited for the past few days by one of the most severe storm s of wind an d snow experienced in that locality for a ver y lon g p eri od. The storm set in on Christmas nigh t with sever e frost andof s k a i heavy ptonft downfall s been experienced with m ore or less se verity throughout the whole of the Cra ven district, i n which the farmers h ave sustained serious losses. The high prev a ili n g disr winds drove the snow like an a va l anc h e b e f ore i t , and the sheep have b ad to be dug from drifts three effects snout.veryus, and they have Ino disastrous, theo neighbourhood and four yards in depth. One farmer, who had nearly 500 sheep out, has scarcely recovered a tithe of them alive ; on Conistone Moor 30 sheep were taken out dead from one of the drifts ; on Embsay Moor nine were found huddled together in a similar hole • on Cracoe F e ll a l arge num b er were e ith er smothered in the snowdrifts or frozen to death ; indeed, through out the whole neighbourhood similar disastrous losses have been experienced by the farmers. The keen frost has still continued at' night, with partial thaws during the day.

Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate change for the better in the symptoMs. After the first few meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diarrheca and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu ally, and in two months time was perfectly well.

Douglas Galton, R.E., Jas. Simpson, Esq., C.E., and James E. Blackwell, Esq., C.E., to whom Sir B. Hall has referred the plan for the main drainage of the metropolis, which was sub mitted to him on the 22d ult., by the Cnairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works : " Office of Works, &c., Whitehall, Dec. 31. " Gentlemen,—l am directed by the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works, &c., to forward for your considera tion the plans for the main drainage of the metropolis which have been submitted to me for approval by the Me tropolitan Board of Works, in accordance with the 18th and 19th of Vic., cap. 120, es. 135 and 13G. By the first of these sections it is provided that the Metropolitan Board of Works ' shall make such sewers and works as they may think neoessary for preventing all or any part of the sew 'ithin the metropoli4 from flowing or passing into the and &hall cause plated on or before the so make all such other fall al Ist day of 1880: sewers and works, and: such diversions or alterations of any existing sewers or works, vested in them under this act, as they may from time to time think necessary for the effectual sewerage and drainage of the metropolis ; and shall discontinue, close up, or destroy such sewers for the time being vested in them under this act as they may deem unnecessary, and such board shall from time to time repair and maintain the sewers so vested in them, or such of them as may not be discontinued, closed up, or destroyed as aforesaid. " ' And for the purposes aforesaid such board shall have full power and authority to carry any such sewers or works through, across, or under any turnpike road, or any street, or place laid out as or intended for a street, as well beyond as within the limits of the metropolis, or through or under any cellar or vault under the carriageway or pavement of any street, and into, through, or under any lands whatso ever within or beyond the said limits, making compensa tion for any damage done thereby as hereinafter provided, and all !Bowen and works from time to time made by the said board shall vest in them. " And the said board shall cause the sewers vested in them to be constructed, covered, and kept so as not to be a nuisance or injurious to health, and to be properly cleared, cleansed, and emptied, and for the purpose of clearing, cleansing, and emptying the same they may construct and place, either above or underground, such reservoirs, sluices, engines, and other works as may be necessary, and may cause the sewage and refuse from such sewers to be sold for disposed of as they may see fit, but so as not to create a nuisance, and the money arising thereby shall be applied towards defraying the expenses of such board: " Aud by the second it is also enacted, ' That before the Metropolitan Board of Works commence any sewers and works for preventing the sewage from passing into the river Thames as aforesaid, the plan of the intended sewers and works for the purpose aforesaid, together with an estimate of the cost of carrying the same into execution, shall be submitted by such board to the Commissioners of her Ma jesty's Works and public Buildings, and no such plan shall be carried into effect until the same has been approved by such commissioners.' " I am further directed to forward to you copies of the several reports presented by the engineer of the Metropo litan Board of Works, which reports contain drawings and sections, not merely of the plan B, but of other plans. "I am also directed to send you the enclosed copies of two letters from Captain Burstal, in reference to the flow of the tide in the liver, which may be useful in your in vestigation. The first of these letters is dated July 30th, and the second Nov. 18th, the latter having been addressed to the First Commissioner under the following circum stances : " In the month of June last the metropolitan Board of Works submitted to the First Commissioner a plan having an outfall for the discharge of the sewage into the Thames, within the metropolis. This plan was at variance with the provisions of the statute contained in the clause to which I have already directed your attention, and was accordingly rejected by him. On the sth day of Novem ber another plan was submitted by that board, having an outfall so near to the metropolitan boundary that the sewage would necessarily return to the metropolis. This plan having been also rejected by the First Commissioner, he directed Captain Burstal to report to him what he con sidered to be the nearest points to the metropolis at which the sewage could be discharged, so that the provisions of the act might be complied with. Captain Burstal fixed these points about one mile above the town of Erith, on the south side of the river, and at Rainham Creek on the north side, being a distance of about 15 miles from Lon don-bridge. " The Metropolitan Board of Works have adopted these points for the outfalls, and have so far complied with the act. The First Commissioner therefore wishes you to con sider all the details of the plan in relation to such outfalls; and he desires me to direct your attention especially to the fact that in the reports presented to the Metropoli e Board of Works, and the statements made to him bY engineer at an interview reported in the morning papers of the 21st Nov. last, there are great discrepancies as to e s e u t b i m n i v tt ie a w d , b h y ,, th re e . the amount of sewage which is discharged. • rate information upon this important point, as the sizes of all the drains and reservoirs must necessarily be deter ttnliiteabyep,loabnj mined by the quantity of s ewage. wishes also that you should It will therefore be necessary for youto obtain accu " The First Commissioner in your (minion, be your can report alrd s h e i t m f o ; r d t t if u l e can n: e, Metropolitan Board of Weeks.
