SKETCH arAr OF OUDE.

Mr. Wyld has produced a splendid map of the
actual seat of war in ()tide, just as the rebels havE
been driven out of Lucknow and sought for safety
towards the north-western portion of the kingdom,
under the title of a Sketch Map of Oude, with the
country between Calcutta and Delhi. Much
as we have admired the promptitude of her
Majesty's geographer on former occasions, we think
that here he has furnished the public with a supe-
rior map at a time when every one is watch-
ing the progress of our victorious arms in
quelling the sepoys' rebellion. Every town
and stronghold are delineated with perspi-
cuous precision, so that the eye takes in at a glance
the respective places, with the line of operations
and retreat of the rebels. Great prominence
is given to the kingdom of Oude and the contiguous
districts, with the broad rivers converging and
emptying themselves into the mighty Ganges.
We were not previously aware that the Gogra
or Dewah River was so large and extensive,
widening in its course till it is lost in the
Ganges near Chuprah. Indeed, one is amazed
at the manifold variety of running streams
wending their way from the surrounding
country to the great river which absorbs them all
in its holy wa!ers I The public will find much
nseful information, both of a military and commer-
cial character, in this tinielyamap of /Dude and the
surrounding country.

Her Imperial and Royal Highness the Grand Duchess
of Baden arrived in Paris on Saturday evening, attended

to receive her, and conducted her to her apartments in
the Tuileries, where the Empress was waiting her
arrival.

good ; there was not a weak name among the composers
who furnished the selection. The first was entirely dedi-
cated to Beethoven—a practice which the director in-
tends to carry out at the three en•ming concerts. In the
grand characteristic overture (Egmont) of Beethoven the
power and completeness of the band was at once ad-
ini.ted. The pianoforte concerto in E fiat created an
ire hense sensation. It was listened to throughout with
breathless attention, and the audience at the 50,1 bra ke
forth into a universal shout of approbation, which did not

superb a performance of Beethoven's grand symphony
for the pianoforte has rarely been heard—if, indeed, ever.
The second part of the concert was miscellaneous, in-
eluding the overtures to Der Freischutz and ilfasaniello,
and some French and Italian song 4. Dr. \Vylde was
warmly welcomed on making his appearance in the or-
chestra. At the second concert Mozart is to be the
hero, so that if the end realises the promise of the be-
ginning, a most successful season may be anticipated.
ST. MARTIN'S HALL—Last evening a c ,ncert was

and madrigals. The artiste engaged werd Miss Str,aima
Cole, Miss Poole, Miss Martyr, Mr. T. Williams, Mr.
G. Gong°, Mr. Lee, and other well-known vocalists.
The concert went off with much success.
