THE RESCUE OF MRS. ORR AND MISS JACKSON.  In the attack on the Charbagh and the line of  the canal works the Ghoorkas took 16 or 17 guns of all sorts. It was subsequent to this success that Captain M‘Neil, of the Bengal Artillery, attached to the Ghoorkas, and Lieutenant Bogle, of the same force, succeeded in saving Mrs. Orr and Miss Jackson, who have been so long in cap'ivity. As these officers were exploring the deserted streets in front of the Ghoorka advanced posts they encountered a native, who said he was one of Sir J. Outram's employes, and implored their protection for his house and property. In the course of his appeal he mentioned incidentally that he knew where the English ladies were confined, and offered to point out the place. Almost immediately afterwards another native appeared and presented two notes—one from Mrs. Orr, the other from Miss Jackson, imploring immediate succour, as their enemies were making search for them. The officers returned to the nearest Ghoorka post, and called for volunteers ; 40 or 50 of these hardy, dirty, and loot-loving Calmucks stepped forth, and, with the native at their head as a guide, the party at a rapid rate started off on their errand of deliverance. They proceeded for more than half a mile through the silent, tortuous streets, expecting to receive a volley at every turn, when They came to a house, apparently shut up and abandoned. " This is the house," said the guide. At the noise of their footsteps the owner —Meer Wajeed Ali, Daroga of the Court—made his appearance, and began to stipulate for his prcperty, but Captain M`Neil demanded the immediate production of the ladies, and, finding that he was resolute, the Daroga led to an obscure apartment, where were two ladies in Oriental costume in a dark At the sound of the voice—" Are you the  support and assistance which they have given to British  officerg.  "Therefore the Right Hon. the Governor-General hereby declares that  " Drigliejjie Singh, Rajah of Bulrampore ; "Koolwunt Singh, Rajah of Pudnaha ; " Rao Hurdeo Buksh Singb, of Kutiaree ; " Kasheepershaud, Talookdar of Sissaindee ; " Zliir Singh, Zemindar of Gopaul Kheir ; and " Chundeeloil, L3inindar of Moraon (Baiswarah)  are henceforward the sole hereditary proprietors of the lands which they held when Oude came under British rule subject only to suoh moderate assessment as may be imposed upon them, and that those loyal men will be further rewarded in such manner and to such extent as, upon consideration of their merits and their position, the Governor.

"A proportionwe measure of reward and honour according to their deserts will be conferred upon others in whose favour like claims may be established to the satisfaction of the Government.  "The Governor-General further proclaims to the people of Oude that, with the abovementioned excep. tionP, the proprietary right in the soil of the province is confiicated to the British Government which will diQpose of that right in such manner as they may deem fitting.
