Present Appenrnnce of Lncknow Reminiscences of the Siege—Gen- - eral Ila i clock and Sir II[enry Lowrance. .• - - Few of the cities of India could compare in outward splendor with the capital of O nide as it' was before the mutiny, or even as it now stands. It lays claim to great antiquity, dat- ix far back in the shadowy -periods of Hindoo history ; .but the present city has all been ,built within the last century, The King :of Olic1e, whose possessions were the last to be seized • by the East India Com- pany, reigned in great splendor at Luciano we Ile had just' completed the Kaiser Bagh=the extensive palace which forms the most strik- ing feature in the viewof the city, having expended in. its' construction and ern bel lish mens eighty lees of rupees- (about four millio is of .dol. .lairs)—when the Britishhhuthorities informed him that they required -bus extensive and rich dominions, and that he must lay down his sceptre and his crown. Lord Dalhousie, who was then Governor-GGtnerail,- proposed to settle on him a large pension ; but the king, very natural- ly, was reluctant to resign hi. authority and his revenues, and steadfastly refused to put his hand to any deed of conveyance. When compelled -to retire, he sent his queen to England to plead his cause - before another queen, Victoria ; but before she returned, the mutiny of 1857 broke out, and his fate was sealed. He now resides, as a sort of State prisoner, on his- own pur- chased estate two or three miles be- low Calcutta, on the Hoogly. By many this seizure of the territory of • Gude and the sale -of the personal property of the king is •regarded as the immediate cause of the rebel- lion. .• - Thpre is more of show in the city of Lncknow than solid grandeur, - such as we `see at Bemires, or ex- - quisite taste and almost inconceiv-- able costliness such as we find at Agra and the old Mogulcapital at. 'Delhi; but :with its domes and minarets and imposing structures, a, seen from a distance or from some elevated point, of which there are many in and around the city, it is a realization of all one's dreams of Eastern magnificence. The palace,_ gorgeous in its style of architecture and colored to resemble a vast structure of gold, with its lofty done ofreal gold, looms : up before the eye ; the Iloseinabacl Inacac rtbara, built by. Ali Shah and elaborately ornamented ; the .Ticrrcma Musjul, the Grand Mosque ; the magnificent marble tombs of former kings, more beautiful than the palaces; the great Irnaurrebara, the architects of which were commanded to produce a build- ing which should be unlike any others ever built, and which -should. surpass . thein all in beauty and magnificence ; the Dilkhooshapalace, in which the heroic soldier; Sir Henry Havelock, breathed his last the., Alfartiniere, from the dome of which the mountains of 'Cabin are seen., though a hundred miles distant these, and many other striking buildings, set like gems in. the midst of oriental foliage, give a grandeur to the views of the city which can- not be tr•ansferiecl to the Nvritt page. A drive through Luckno and its suburbs has more of vared beauty and of indescribable interest' than any other in India that: I can now recall.: - Notwithstanding all this Easte splendor, I felt wonderfully'=like e tering a familiar city when enter ii Years before, I had b conte -familiar with its appearau and localities, in reading the histor of the memorable siege, in wide the garrison of British soldiers, pr testing hundreds of women and cliil 1 Ten, were surrounded by fifty thou sand Sepoys, and subjected to 1 ' murderous fire day and night, with out any communication with th outer world for one hundred an thirteen days. I had followed tit noble Havelock and his brave troop in their long -march under the bur in sun of India, and as they cut thei way. through the nlultitudinou Sepoys into the Residency to joie their fellows, but only to find that their once was still too feeble to. compel the enemy to raise the siege. I hat reser with the same intense interest, the story of the final relief the reaki `ig 'out of. the mutiny, the 11Iit /tee B11Iowan fort, being found unt nab .e, was bloivr up, and the garr'son r tired to 1 th Residency whe •e t i threw j ii earthworks and pass d through .tri long siege.

Anecdotes A certain 'ma of the besieged, by Sir Colin Camp- bell, with. his Highland brigade ; of their going forth by night, leaving the city -in the hands of the rebels and of its final capture the following year by the most Heroic fighting re- corded in the annals of war. All these scenes were so familiar, that I did not feel like being in a strange city. I was traversing ground over which I had often gone before. After finding quarters at the Imperial Hotel, (it` bore about the sante relation to a genuine Republi- can hotel, that a marble tomb, with its one lonely couch, does to a cheer- ful hone,) our first visit was to the Residency, the scene of the siege. It was the former residence or palace of the- British Commissioner, and of cote. occupied a. sligat elevation, an area '. bo ha, of a few acres, within the city.
