VIENNA, DEC. 14.—The English house of Bell and
Anderson, at Bucharest, has stopped payment.
It seems that we are not to expect the Russian Am-
bassador, Von Tatischeff, to return to Vienna before the
end of next summer, as the Emperor intends that he shall
accompany him on his journey to the southern provinces of
the empire, which was prevented this year by his accident.
The Russian Legation here, for which the magnificent
Palace of Prince Lichtenstein, in the Lowelstrasse, has
been hired for many years past, will now be obliged to re-
move, as the reignino. Prince of Lichtenstein means to oc-
occupy it himself, and will give up to the Russian Legation
his Palace in the Herrengasse, which he has hitherto inha-
bited himself. The other Palace is to be fitted up in the
most splendid manner for the Prince.

logne, Coblentz, &c., to Munich.

The French Ambassador and Madame Sebastiani,
who were expected to leave Manchester House to-morrow
for Paris, have, it is understood, been obliged to postpone,
their departure, in consequence of the difficulty of travelling
arising from the heavy fall of snow.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Sligo will resume
the occupancy of their mansion in Mansfield-street next
season. It was tenanted by her Highness the Princess de
Beira and the sons of Don Carlos, during their sojourn in
this country.
The Duke of Roxburgh is expected to lead to
the hymeneal altar to-morrow at St. George's church, the
lovely Miss Dalbiac. Fleurs Castle, near Kelso, the pa-
trimonial seat of his Grace, is in a state of preparation to
receive the young Duke and his bride.
Lord Weymouth, eldest son of the Marquis of
Bath, who married some years ago in opposition to the
wishes of his family, is travelling with his Lady on the
Continent, and intends to make a long sojourn abroad.
Lord Henry Thynne, who married a daughter of Lord
Ashburton, is next in succession to the Marquisate, Lord
Weymouth not having any issue. Lord Henry has re-
cently had a fine estate, called Holywell, in Hants, pre-
sented to him by Lord Ashburton.
The Marquis of Granby, for whom such splendid
festivities are preparing at Bclvoir Castle, was of age in
May last, but the celebration of the event was postponed
until January. His Noble Father is one of the oldest
Militia Colonels, and served with the regiment in Ireland
during the Great Rebellion there, and again in 1812.
Ever since the close of the war, the fine band of the re-
giment has been kept on full pay by the Duke, and at the
training in 1831 for expected service in Ireland, this corps
was considered at head-quarters as highly effective, having
nearly its full complement of officers and men. The Duke
of Rutland is said to be much attached to his regiment, and
always ready to serve his officers when in his power.
The Earl of Stamford and Warrington is displaying
old English hospitality, at Enville Hall, in Staffordshire
and Durham Park, Cheshire. By the demise of the No-
ble Earl's eldest son, Lord Grey, of Gorby, in the prime
of manhood, his Lordship's grandson, now in his 10th year,
succeeds to the Peerage of Grey of Groby.
Earl Harewood's seat, Harewood Hall, Northaller-
ton, is displaying the usual old English hospitality, which
will be continued for the ensuing fortnight. The Hon.
Henry and Lady Louisa Lascelles, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Lascelles, and Lady Frances Hope and other
branches of the family are assembled at his Lordship's hos-
pitable seat.
Lord Nugent arrived in Chandos-street, yesterday,
from Brighton, where his Lordship went to have an audience
of his Majesty.
In most parts of the East a delicate hand is so highly
esteemed, that even slave-dealers take it as an infallible cri-
terion of the station of their prisoners, and allot their labour
or affix their ransom by it.
Mr. Edwin Forrest made his first appearance at
Liverpool last Monday.
Mr. Locke, the engineer, has given it as his opinion,
that the Lancaster auePreston railway, now in project, will
be finished at the least cost of any in the kingdom.
On Thursday evening upwards of 140 gentlemen

city of some local authorities in Syria, Palestine, and
Egypt."

Noble Proprietor.
On Sunday last, Mark Scott, under-viewer at South
Herton colliery, unfortunately lost his life by taking a can-
dle into a part of the mine where an explosion of atmo-
sphere existed.—Sunderland Herald.
COFFEE.—It is astonishing what effect the smallest
portion of the strong coffee made by the Arabs has ; no
greater stimulus is required in the longest and most arduous
journeys. It is universal throughout the East, but more
used by the Arabs of the desert than by any other class ;
they will go without food for twenty-four hours if they can
but have recourse to the little dram of coffee, which, from
the small compass in which they carry the apparatus, and
the readiness with which it is made, they can always com-
mand. I can vouch for both its strengthening and exhila-
rating effect ; it answers these purposes better than I can
conceive it possible a drain of spirits could do to those who
indulge in them.—Captain Skinner.
SCARAMUCCIA.—We went this morning to the
rehearsal of this excellent opera. The music, it is
needless to say, is very fine, and the orchestra, we may
add, did Rieci's music ample justice ; whilst Blasis, that
sweetest and most powerful of cantatrices, left us nothing to
desire by the surpassing excellence of the manner in which
she sang. Catone, Terri, Ruggiero, and Ronconi, fully
supported the reputation they have obtained. We antici-
pate that this new opera will be eminently successful. At
the Lyceum only can those who have a taste for the pure
pleasures of music be fully gratified.
On Saturday evening last, a little after 11 o'clock,
the landlady of a public house, in Narrow Flag-lane, Sun-
derland, went out to purchase some marketing, leaving
the care of the house to her husband, during her tem-
porary absence. Immediately after her departure three
men entered the house and demanded a quart of ale. The
landlord rafused, on the ground of the lateness of the
hour. The miscreants, indignant at the refusal, extin-
guishedta attack u

In the scuffle that ensued, one of them
actually bit a large portion of flesh off one of his eye-
brows.—Sunderland Herald.
