BAD EM3, Juts 12.—The beautiful scenery of this de.
lightful watering-place is this year enlivened by a more
numerous assemblage of distinguished guests than usual.
The beauties of the party are the Princess Mary of Hesse,
bride of the Russian heir-apparent, tire Grand Duchess
Olga, and the Princess Matilda of Hesse ; and a lovelier
group than these ladies form, when assembled, cannot
easily be imagined. The Empress bears in her counte-
nance marks of care, and her almost restless activity seems
to bespeak a mind not quite at case. In walking or riding
(donkeys are much in favour with the Imperial party), she
is always some paces before the rest of the group, who
seem to have difficulty in following her hurried pace.
The whole company is in constant motion. In the morn-
ing early the waters are drunk, and a ride, on don-
keys generally, follows ad early breakfast; the dinner
hour is an early one, after which a drive in the lovely valley
of the Lahu, towards Coblentz, or up the stream towards
Nassau, occupies the evening, which is closed by a re-
union in the apartments of her Majesty, which seldom in-
cludes more than the suites of the Royal personages. The
Empress is exceedingly fond of dress, and exacts consi-
derable sacrifices to the graces of the toilette from her
attendants. Every meeting throughout the day must be
in its appropriate costumes, and all the materials must come
from Paris or front London. This fancy harmonizes, per-
haps, with the apparently inexhaustible purses of the Ras-
sian courtiers, but I believe is less suited to the more
limited incomes of their visitors from other parts. Bound-
less indeed ought to be the Russian revenues, for none of
them seems to know what it is to refuse themselves the
gratification of a wish. The dearest articles of fancy,
the hig'nest play, the most munificent remuneration of
services, are all calculated to dazzle the vulgar with the
idea of imperial magnificence. We poor English hide
our diminished heads, and our care-taking couriers find
their consequence in no small degree lowered, when they
coma into contact with the purse-bearers of northern
Courts. Talents of all kinds, from all lands, flock into
this happy valley. France sent Herz, and Austria Thal-
berg ; England a characteristic representative in a mem-
ber of the house of Storr and Mortimer, whose diamond
necklace did, as we are informed, excite admiration and
longing in the fair breasts of sonic whose collections are
famous. Amongst the Russian Nobles now staying at
Ems, Count Woronzow is the most considered, not merely
on account of his immense wealth, but from his personal
estimable qualities, which make it matter of regret that he
should not be more actively employed for the advantage of
his country. About the marriage of the Grand Duchess
Olga nothing has as yet transpired. The Duke of Nassau
is assiduous in bis hospitality to the imperial guests; but
it is not unlikely that a suitor
ionf royal rank would be the
most acceptable to the northern
visited
The Prince once
speculated upon has not yet

Duke Alexander has left for Petersburgh Dusseldorf.
