BUCHAREST, DEC. 16.—(Extract of a private
letter.)---Every thing here announces war, and we
are on the eve of great events. The Russian armies
are ready to march. The agent of Austria, M. Aque-
nean, who resides in our city, has just given orders
to the mocans (shepherds of Transylvania, who
bring their flocks into the plains of Walachia to pass
the winter,) to quite the banks of the Danube, and
to retire with their flocks towards the frontiers of
their own country. About two out of every hun-
dred of the water carriers, Hungarians by birth, have
been made Austrian soldiers, to protect, under their
costume, the houses and shops of subjects of Aus-
tria-who reside in our city. The guards of the ca-
pital have been tripled within these few days, and
no citizen is allowed to be out of doors after eight
in the evening. An order of the Hospodar has also
been published, by which every one is prohibited
from quitting his domicile, or acting in any way that
may excite a tumult, under pain of being treated as
a disturber of the public peace. In this state of af-
fairs, the notables of the city have proceeded to the
house of the Hospodar, Ghika, and requested him
to call together the chiefs of the Bulgarians (domi-
ciled for a long time in this city, of which they oc-
cupy a considerable part), and intrust to them the
superintendence of the police of the capital, as in
cases of great emergency. Two hundred citizens
make the round of the city every evening; their
place of rendezvous is the monastery of Radou-Voda,
a fortress situated on a hill, to the east of the Castle
of the Cathedral. Every one hurries to intrust all
his valuable property to the chief of this monastery.
We learn from Hermanstadt, that the number of
the Austrian troops is augmenting every day in
Transylvania and in Bannat. Only foreign troops
arrive there. Those of the country, according to the
policy of Austria, are sent into other Provinces,
where the soldiery are ignorant of the language of
the inhabitants, and the inhabitants are equally
ignorant of their language—these troops consist
chiefly of Italians.
CORFU, DEC. 4.—(Extract of a private letter.)—
The report is prevalent here that the fortress of Pa-
tras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. The
Turks, having learned the catastrophe at Navarin,
hastened to capitulate with General Church, on con-
dition that they should be allowed to march out with
all the honours of war. ,They dreaded that want of
provisions would, ere long, oblige them to surrender
at discretion.

(From the Courrier Francai- of

M. de Hermopolis and M. de Chabrol, 'Members
of the Old Ministry, will figure ill in the New.—
if they dream of continuing the Villele Ministry,
they will be instantly at variance with their new
Colleagues. If they wish sincerely to follow a new
system, what attitude will they take in the Chamber
when the former Administration shall be attacked, or
when the question shall be the reparation of some of
the numberless faults in which they had their share
of co-operation and responsibility ? Will they de-
fend the Villele Administration or disavow it ?

It is probable that the Moniteur will dissipate to-
morrow all these doubts. The public, satisfied with
being delivered from the triumverate (Corbiere, Vil-
lele, and Peyronnet), will wait, in judging the iiew
Ministry, till their system be clearly revealed by
their acts. This judgment will, therefore, be ad-
journed to the Session, for we can only then ascer-
tain what the Ministry really is.

DURHAM ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—Although Mr. Lambton's elevation to the
peerage is not yet confirmed by official announce-
ment, universal belief seems to be given to the
thing as au event that will very shortly take place.
Under this impression, Mr. Russell, of Brancepeth
Ca4tle, has come forward to solicit the honour of
representing his native county, through the medium
of an address to the freeholders, signed by his uncle
Mr. Tennyson, M.P. Mr. Russell is himself at
present in Italy, though it is expected he will shortly
return to England. Mr. Tennyson's address, it
must be observed, is couched in too general terms
for his political principles to be gathered from it.
His friends, give out, however, that he will support
the liberal system of policy pursued by Government,
and consequently that he will be a warm adherent
to the present Ministry. The rumour that Sir Hed-
worth Williamson, Bart. of Whitburn, (who is like-
-wise abroad at the present moment) intends to offer
himself for the palatinate, is not considered as worthy
of credit, particularly after Mr. Tennyson's declara-
tion in favour of his nephew. As little credence is
attached to the statement that Lord Encombe, the
grandson of the Earl of Eldon, will come forward.
Your's respectfully,
Durham, Jan.- 5. CMS.

GRAND BALL AND SUPPER AT THE
MANsioN-HOUSE, VENN-CA STLE-UPON-TYNE. —OD Thurs-
day evening last, Mrs. MAYORESS (the lady of the Right
Worshipful BENJAMIN SORSBIE, Esq., Mayor of New-
castle), gave a splendid ball and supper, at the Mansion-
house, to all the fashionables of that town, as well as a large
portion of the hunt ton from the neighbouring counties
of Northumberland and Durham, in all upwards of 500
ladies and gentlemen. A little after ten o'clock, the ball
commenced with a contre dance, which was led off in ex-
cellent style by the Sheriff of Newcastle (EDWARD DALE,
Esq.,) and Mrs. BELL of Woolsington, the lady of Max-
n-stEw BELL, Esq., M. P. Between twelve and one
o'elrick. the doors of the Oak-room were thrown open, when
a 'Very attractive coup &ell presented itself to the company
in the shape of a long double row of supper tables, display-
ing, in the first style of arrangement, all that was delicate
and inviting for the evening's repast. The wines, confec-
tionary, and ices harmonized; and nothing, in short, was
omitted that was in anywise calculated to promote the
general enjoyment. it is impossible to speak in too high
terms of the unremitting and polite attention of the amiable
liostess, as well as Mr. 31.1.v0u, to their numerous friends
,throughout the evening. The Facade of the Mansion-house
was brilliantly illuminated on the occasion.
DisTRF,ssiNG SuiclDE.--On Friday evening
an inquest was held upon view of JOHN Buter, formerly a
pensioner, by the Deputy
Coroner for the City and Liber-
ties of Westminster, at the Coach and Horses, near Dews_
yard. whets Mr. SCHOFIELD was chosen Foreman Of the
Jury. Baavo, the watch,man, on the Tothill-street beat,
&posed to his seeing the deceased about ten o'cloCk on
Thstrsday night, putting the sluitters to against the
window ; he called out " Watch !" several times, then
adding, that he would give the woman (who was his wife)
.in charge. Witness went into the parlour, where he
found her forcing the shutters with a poker. She in-
stantly threw the poker down, and running away, said, cc I
wish you may get mei." Deceased had given no charge,
but shut himself in the parlour, At half-past ten o'clock
witness went again to the spot, when the deceased's wife
W 5 bawling outside the premises, to inform him thit she
had seen the gentlemen who were to pass him
tot is
parish, at Hawshurst, Kent, the next morning ; hut he
snade no answer to her. Witness at length burst open the
door of their lodging, when the deceased was found banging
to an iron hook in the wall, and his body quite stiff, which
was immediately cut down by the witness, The deceased's
wife fainted two or three times, on finding that he was
really hung. FANNY SURGEE, who lived just opposite
the deceased's-house, deposed to their quarrelling on Thurs-
NY.; that deceased then complained of being Struck
sever al times by his wife, who refused to go to his parish.
The deceased, it was known by his wife, had also a rope
About him. Deceased had been run up " tally-hills" by
his wife, and reduced to poverty. After much deliberation
the Jury came to the following verdict--" That the de-
ceased had hung himself when in a state of distraction, in
consequence of the misconduct of his wife."
