THE SON, LONDON, SATURDAY 14:VENINCI„ A [JOUST 28 185,;.

THE ROYAL FAMILY OF OUDE.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING.
The Rajah of Surat, and several Indian vassals and
grandees, have visited this to to pay their respects to
the Princes of Oude. The Q teen of Oude and her la-lies
occupy the suite of apartments on the first floor of the
Royal York Hotel, the rooms being situated close to
the balcony. Two of the rooms—the Queen residing in
the lower—have bow windows. Her Majesty is sur-
rounded by screens, so that if the door is opened she
may not be seen. Last night the crowd outside the
hotel called for the princes to appear, but access to the
balcony could only be obtained through her Majesty's
apartment, and the Queen had the greatest difficulty in
retiring from the apartment unobserved. The feat was
effected at last by drapery being held around her by the
Eunuchs. Tho window blinds of the ladies' apartments
are kept down during the whole of the day and night,
and the Eunuchs guard the doors of the apartments.
Occalionally, when the guardian's attention is with.
drawn, female curiosity is excited, the window blind
is elightly and timidly drawn aside, and a sight is
then obtained from the street of the houris of the
Lucknow or Fyzabad harem, The complexion of
these beauties is exceedingly dark, the hair is jet
black, and the face remarkably round and small. Mr.
Andrews, the Mayor of Southampton, was introduced
to the Queen of Ouda by Major Bird. The major men-
tioned his name outside the carriage, whereupon her
Majesty put her ha❑d through the blind and his worship
shook hands with her.
The transfer of the full Court of a Hindoo nation from
the region of the Himalayan mountains to Southamp-
ton has cauied the utmost amazement and curiosity to
the inhabitants here, and a crowd is always around the
hotel. At every window of the building men rolled ap-
parently in cachmere shawls, are to be seen leaning out,
or smoking, cr performing ablutions. The coffee-room
is given up to the inferior castes, who are kept busily
employed. The bar is one of the cooking rooms. Inside
the inner doorway sit the upper servants, the "gold
sticks " of the palace, smoking, chatting, and purchas-
ing goods. Natives are going over the town purchas-
ing fruit, poultry, and clothing. Nearly all the party
carry the,most portable of their;treasures and money on
their persons, which give to some a very picturesque
and to others a very grotesque appearance. It is un-
certain how long the party will stay in Southampton.
Pamphlets are about to be published, making known the
complaint of the Court of Oude against the East India
Company.

SARDINIA.

The following interesting particulars respecting
the fortress of Alessandria, which is now receiving
new fortitications through the care and foresight
of the Piedmontese Government, are given by a
Turin journal:—
'~
The spot where ANrsandria now stands was oc-
cupied in 1163 by a small town called Rovereto,
situated near the two rivers Tanaro and Bormida.
Durin; the wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines its
stroll? position attractA the attention of the latter,
who surrounded it in 1169 with a mud wall, and
called it Alessandria. From the circumstance that
straw w.ls mixed with mud to give it sufficient
firmness, the people gave it the name of Alessendria
della Paglia, which it retains to this day. In 1174,
Frederic l3arbarossa besieged it with a formidable army,
but was obliged to raise the siege after it bad lasted seven
months. It was subsequently besieged, and changed hands
several times. In 1528, the Emperor Frederic 11. took

and sacked it. In 1278, the Marquis of Montferrat, go-
vernor of the Milanese, took possession of it, and sur-
rounded it with brick walls and towers. In 1644,
the Spanish commandant, Conde de S:rvella, turned
the waters of the Bormida into the moat to increase
its strength, and in the following year the fortress
received eight ravelins, also surrounded with wet ditches.
The present citadel was commenced in 1736, and com-
pleted in 1745. On the 12th of October of the same
year Alessandria capitulated, and was occupied by the
Spanish troops under the orders of the Marquis of Ca-
ravacal ; this was the last time it was taken after a siege.
In 1795, the citadel was given up to the French; it was
blockaded by the Russirns in 1799, and capitulated on
the Ist of Thermidor of that year. It was again taken
possession of by the French in 1800, after the me-
morable battle of Marengo. Generals Marescat and
Chasseloup re-fortified it at a cost of 30,000,000 fr.,
and renderid it one of the strongest fortresses in Europe;
but after the fall of the first Empire the Austrians de-
stroyed the whole of the works. The plan which is
now to be carried out consists of a bastioned body and
four detached forts, one situated on the Bormida, a
second en the Tanaro, and the other two to the east
and south-east of the place. This fortress, with the aid
of Casale on one side and Genoa cn the other, will en-
able a body of from 20,000 to 25,000 men to keep a
much larger army in check for many months, until the
arrival of succour from other quarters."

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1856.

The noble-hearted Count VALERIAN KR ASlN-
siu, immediately before his lamented demise
during the course of last December, completed
the most remarkable of all his political writings*
—and, expiring, left it to his native land, to his
adopted country, to Europe, to Christendom, as
—A Voice of 'Warning ! GOD grant that at this
momentous juncture that solemn voice may not
remain altogether inaudible. It is an utterance,
be it remembered! coming to us, as it were,
awfully from the grave the echo of the last dying
words of adjuration, addressed to the conscience
tithe civilised world, by a generous' and heroic
spirit, the spirit of an exiled patriot, the
sword at whose thigh was not
more
keen than his living sense of wrong—the wrong
done, not to himself alone, but to every son of
his beloved Fatherland.'

A warning like that left so very recently as a
sacred bequest to Europe, by KnAsnism, was
never assuredly required more urgently than at
the present extraordinary crisis in her history—
when there are actually trembling in the balance
the good or evil, the life or death, the advance-
meat or retrogression of her liberties, and of her
general civilisation. Another week, and
the plenipotentiaries of the chief among
the European Powers will be assembled
together at Paris for the purpose of entering upon
the labour of negotiating the terms of an univer-
sal and (so far as that
may be practicable) a
durable pacification. After all that has occurred
within the memory of the present generation, it
actually appears that the Allied Nations,
that England and France in complicity (as
it must be termed, if termed in any way
in complicity with Turkey,
appropriately),
,
Sardinia and Austria, and are prepared

By ker Majesty's Royal Letters Patent RIP valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per.
spectivo Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed
through them—of great importance to the army, navy,
and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary
powers that some, three and a-half inches, with an extra eye.
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars; with the same telescope can be
Seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
ing rem 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than th^
above and the Georgian; with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 i miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houseb,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great.
eat transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons aro
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu-
pation- can see with these lenses of a much less magnify-
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance.
Deafness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an ex.
traordinary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for
deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass any-
thing of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be,
produced. Being of the same colour as the skrn, is not per-
ceptible ; it enables deaf perms to hear distinctly at church
and at public assemblies ; tho unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the
assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, AlheMarle-
