THE PRINCES OF OUDE AT THE
DIA-HOUSE.

Yesterday the two Princes of Oude, now on a visit
with the Queen-Mother to this country, on a mission
with the object of which the public are already familiar,
went to the India-house, for the first time since their
arrival here, and had an interview with the Court of
Directors. The visit was purely one of ceremony, and
had no aim in connection with the errand that has
brought them to England. They were attended by
Major E. W. Bird and Colonel Rawlinson, who have
identified themselves with the interests of the Royal
family during their stay here, and a numerous native
suite, among whom the principal personage was Mon-
lance Musseeb-oodeen Khan Behaudur, Vakeel of the
titular King of Oude, who is the only member of the
family not now in this country. The names of the
two Princes are Meerza Mahomed Hamel Ali Baha-
dur, a youth of 18, who is the heir-apparent and grand-
son of the Queen, and General Meerza Sikundur
Hushmut Juwal Ali Bahudur, his uncle, and brother
of the King. They arrived from their temporary

The Princes and their suite were entertained by the
Court of Directors at a dquener, which was served in a
style of great elegance under the personal superinten-
dence of Mr. Bathe, of the London Tavern.
The Princes took leave of the Directors at half-past 3
o'clock, and returned to Harley-house.

'OST-OFFICE.—Great interest is felt by the public in
6he new arrangements for facilitating the amortment
and delivery of letters in London, and the recent request
of the Postmaster-General, as to the use of initial letters
for indicating the district in which the letter has to be
delivered, has met with prompt attention. Already
from 50,000 to 60,000 letters per day are so addressed,
aid the4ouruber rapidly increasing. The great demand
for the penny books containing alphabetic lists of streets,
&c., is another proof of the desire of the public to meet
the wishes of the Post-office authorities. This demand
is now so great as to require from the printers a supply
of 50,000 copies of the book daily.
