Glyn, Mills, and Co. 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 3.Bth June, 1555, states, with reference to (Dude 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 instrument 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 Tarm forest, as well as the arm branching out from it and known as the Gogurnath and Khyreegurli jungles, fur nishes the finest timber in the world. The sisu or sheethum, the fine toon, the teak, the sankoo, the dhank, and the mag zificent ebony and sandal trees here grow iu unsurpassed splendour. Little is known out of Oude of the resources of these magnificent woods. One or two enterprising gentlemen, less ignorant than others, have, however, taken advantage of these rich natur a l resources an d 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 comparatively 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 Tarm and the jungles of the interior. There hides are rotting by thousands, and horns aro 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 Police are not myths trade in theca might bo 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 tame, with which Oude abounds, are now literally thrown away. "Dude might yield indigo as to quantity, at least half of the amount produced in Bengal, and as to quality, a s g o od as that grown in the Tirhoot and the Doab." " The great article, however, of exportation is saltpetre, which, as already stated, is found in great quantities impregnating the alluvial soil of the country. - With a European peace, and the permission to export saltpetre to America, the nitre produc ing soil of Oude will be particularly called 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 once 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 Indian mercantile world ; how, with a network of r oa ds, ra il wa y s , and stea,mersihroughout the length and breadth of the laud, it could be made to yield large profits to the speculator, and princely revenues to the government that owns it ; how its jungles could be cleared, or if allowed to stand, could be 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 bo 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.8., the English Resident at Oude, upon the subject, fully confirms the accuracy of the ter, going statement "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." " Oude is an extensive and fertile territory, only requiring improved means of communication to develope its great re sources. It is perfectly tranquil, and as secure a s any other portion of the East India Company's dominions suppo r t and orninions ; and th e Railway Company may rely upon my cord as sistance, whenevertitimay be required, towards attaining so important an object, and securing so great a benefit to both the Government and the people." The sketch map shows the proposed lines of railway ; their connection with the East Indian Railway, and with the lines proposed by Captain Yule for Rohilcund ; from which it will be seen that they togeth er cons titute a comprehensive system of railways, without any conflicting interests, and each con tributing to the prosperity of the other, and of the comities traversed. The country is unusually favourable for railway works. 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 iehanpore 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 450 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, and 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 average of 9,600/. per mile, inclusive of envying stock ; and the practicability of working Indian railways at a moderate expenditure has been alre adY fully established by the ex perience of the East Indian and Bombay lines. In compliance with the Prin ciple sanctioned by Parliament, with regard to the constitution of the East India Directors, in the last India Bill, and with a view to secure the necessary amount of local knowledge and e xperience, one-third of the directors must have been resident in time Bengal or the North-west provinces of India. The directors are in communication with the Hon. East India Company, with a view to place this company upon the same under a guarantee imirs as the other Indian railway companies, (N c, 20,136.) of a minimum rate of interest. Should this arrangement, which is regarded by the directors as an essential and indispens able condition, not be effected, the deposit of ss. per share will be returned, less the expenses which shall have been incurred. Prospectuses, maps, and forms of application for shares, upon terms therein stated, may be obtained at the Com pany's Offices, No. 8, Moorgate-street.

Douglas Gallon, ILE., 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 Caairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works : " " Office of Works, &c., Whit e h a ll , D ec. 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 18,1 and 19th of Vic., cap. 120, es. 135 and 136. 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 necessary for preventing 01 or any part of the sew. 3 dap sewers of pe and c w sew age within th e me t ropol i s from flowing or passing into the works river Tham es i n or near to the metropolis, and shall cause sta is c t h a t n o d b s e ha c l o l r a n l p s l o et m ed ake o n a o ll r s before t h t h e e r sewers and 'works,lBo 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 draina ge o f th e metropol i s ; 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 therros may not be discontinued, closed up, or destroyed as aforesaid. " And for the purposes aforesaid such board shall have fall 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 hewer , ' and works from time to time made by the said board shall vest in them. " And the said board shall cause the sowers 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, bat so as not to create a nuisance, and the money arising thereby shall be applied towards defraying the expenses of such board.' " And by the second it is also enacted, That before the Metropolitan Board of Works commence any sewers and works for preventing the sewage from p a ssi ng i n t o th e r i ver 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 suc h b oar d t o t h e C omm i ssioners 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 Borstal, 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 Juno last the metropolitan Board of Works submitted to the First Commissioner a plea 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 metror ohs 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.. dos-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 toth fact that in th e repor t s presente d to t h e M e t r opolitan Board of Work s , an d th e s t a t emen t s ma d e t o him by the engineer at a n i n t erv i ew repor t e d i n th e mo rning papers s a of the 21st N ov . l as t , th ere are grea t di scr epancies to the amount of sewage which is discharged.

"The plans now sent to you fix the outfalls at the points already indicated; but, inasmuch as it is desired by the inhabitants of towns bordering upon the river below the 15th mile point that the main seer should be extended, and that the outfalls should be placed at a greater distance from the metropolis, provided funds are obtained for the purpose of meeting the increased expenditure, the First Commissioner wishes you to report upcn any such more distant points of discharge as may fairly meet the require ments alluded to, and when you submit to him the plans for effecting that object you will set forth the increased cost consequent upon the extension of the works, the bene fits, if any, to be derived by distracts through which the extended main pass, and how far these districts should contribute to the cost of such extended works. The First Commissioner feels sure that you will give to the various plans which, doubtless, will be laid before you such attention as they may deserve. " A commission is about to be appointed to inquire into the most effeci ual means of distributing the sewage of towns and of applying it to beneficial and profitable uses, and it may therefore be desirable that you should pul, yourselves in communication with that commission, as a strong feeling seems to be entertained by members of the Metropolitan Board of Works and btl 4 ers tl2a6 Ll2l of the metrop " In conclusion, I ran tiirtY:teci tojriilnc:k4:t/Ftt ybk report y our v i ews upon the question.4(44,:watii . of the metropolis and the pointy of otittntilal:fhd. period consistent with the full considdialbu or ge...1 taut a subject. rns..

OF THE SUN. ::'':"1! -,: Sir,—At this moment the eyes of EuroPii* , • turned towards S w it zer l an d. 11 i s a glorious sig.Y 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 I energy which drown the malevolent insinuations of those mean slaves who abhor every liberal idea, and who are dead to every generous feeling. In the midst of this concert •of well-deserved praise, would it be becom* that a voice f l otn th e democratic party shouldl,l:it*te unpleasant truths to the Swiss ? I have 0;14 titie bed - ated, - but, after mature reflection,.,,keni..Peeati,ded t !let it will render a service to denteCm:4:l'74kt - generLd as well as to Switzerland itself. • his will that on the I eve of battle the champion of /lf ionolity ~ i inxi of liberty should he invited to purify his codipioe ee from all stain. It is well, that a voice whose sincerity cannot be. • doubted should tell the Swiss at this Ho lem u mo ment, " Brothers, take .. are!. It is not just that while you are defending literix at home you should be the instruments of opPiesSion abroad. S ee what the illustrious Kossuth' 'gained by voting in the Hungarian Diet enormous Subsidies of men i.nd money to aid the Emperor of Austria to reconquer the Lombardo -Venetian provincei—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 :he affeir of Neuchatel, Switzerland claims from :Prussia, with ccalm and courageous Aignity, "the iudefteasibls light - which every nation posseises 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 Vicenza and Venice. • One can comprehend likewise to a certain point that volunteers may engage in foreign countries to serve as soldiers in war time, particularly in coun tries which have not and cannot have a laree 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 ho 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 pox . ' King, who conscientiously carries on his trade of tyrant. A part, and a great part, of the reprobation should fall on the instruments lie 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, ia place of having a pretorian guard of 12,000 or 15,000 Swiss, bad one of 12,4)00 or 15,000 Prussians ? And yet it would he 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 the,t with respect to this scandalous traffic the moral stnse of the Swiss nation, fin other respects so honest and so noble, appears to be perverted and paralysed. Whin those mercenaries return home with the competence acquired at the price of blood—snot of their blood, but of the blood and tears of the vic tims of the tyranny they have served—they enter into the full enjoyment of their civil and political rights, and they find among their fellow citizens that regard and consideration a2c.rded to those who have gained their for nue 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 witli the apparent object of preventing enrolments far foreign service. It would be very easy to prove that those laws are ha 1, and badly executed. It is sufficient to mention the fact, that there are at Naples 12,000 or 15,000 satellites of despotism bearing the name of Swiss soldiers. So remarkable a fact proves the insufficiency of those law s, and could not exist without the material or moral com plicity of the nation itself. It isfor the ration, therefore, to look to it, to render its legislation effective, its magistrate vigilant and sever e, 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 di . 6- 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 lr ady proved that they are not. soldiers, but sbirri. The speciality to supply sbirri would be au 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 est( em and friendship cif 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 fatilts. Upright and free men confesi and correct them. M3NIN. Paris, Dec. 30, 1856.

GREAT SNOW STORM ON THE YoRKSHIRE Tierra The moors of Yorkshire have been visited for the past few days by one of the mist severe stArins of wied :tea snow experienced in that locality f,ir a very long period. Tire storm set in on Christmas night with sey-re frost and a heavy downfall of *mew.

Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Itevalenta 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 diarrhoea and night sweats had left her. She gained strengdi gradu ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and. I consider 1 am only discharging a most sacred duty in recommending it to all sufferets.-5. ZEOUEKS.
