SKEIVIT 11IAP OF OUDE.

Mr. Wyld has produced a splendid map of the
actual seat of war in Oude, just as the rebels have
been driven out of Luclinow and sought for safety
towards the north-western portion of the kingdom,
under the title of a Sketch Map of Ouch, 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 be 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 waters I The public will find much
useful information, both of a military and commer-
cial character, in this timely:map of Oude and the
surrounding country.

Her imperial and Royal Highness the Grand Ducbess
of Baden arrived in Paris on Saturday evening, attended
by her suite. The Emperor went to the railway station
to receive her, and conducted her to her apartments in
the Tuileries, where the Empress was waiting her
arrival.

goo ,d • there was not a weak name among the composers
who furnished the sthciion. The first was en irely dedi-
cted to Beethoven—a practice which the director in-
,ends to carry out at the three ensuing concerts. In the
grand characteristic overture (Egmont) of Beethoven the
power and completeness of the band was at once ad-
ini,ted. Trio pianoforte concerto in E flat created an
int ,ense sensation. It was listened to throughout a ith
oreath!ess attentleo, and the audience at the cud brske
forth into a univ,,rsal shout of approbation, which did not
cease until Miss Goddard returned to the platbrm.
