BAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, SEPT. 3.—Count Von Mittrowsky, the
chief Aulic Chancellor, died yesterday evening.
Count Von Medoni, the Russian Ambassador at
this Court, is going imMediately to Johannisberg, in
consequence of instructions from his Court, which is
so far worthy of remark, as none of the representa-
tives of the other great Powers has this time followed
Prince Metternich, owing to the present tranquil state
of political affairs.
W.in.s.tw, SEPT. I.—The journals of to-day say
that a ielegraphie dispatch, the date of which they do
not ghre, has been received from St. Petersburgh,
announcing that the Grand Duchess Mary, consort of
the Imperial Prince Alexander, has been delivered of
a Princess, who has received the name of Alexandrina.
DRESDEN, SEET. 3.—The scarcity of water, in
consequence of which the mills can grind much less
than usual, has not only caused the price of bread in
this city to be doubled, but has even caused bread to
be scarce. A baker who sold bread of bad quality and
short of weight was driven out of the city by the people.
Scarcely a day passes without bringing accounts of
some great fire.

The— Leipsig Gazette has a letter from Libentz of
September 1, which says, "An awful conflagration,
which broke out yesterday at noon, is ravaging the
noble forests on the frontiers of Saxony and Bo-
hemia. It commenced on the Bohemian side, and in
a few hours resembled a sea of flame. More than '2OO
acres of forest are already destroyed ; in Bohemia the
loss is immense. All human aid seems to be in
vain. The wind, which now blows towards Bo-
hemia, drives the flames down the mountain,
the detaChed houses 'and' the villages in the forests,
are in the greatest danger. Another account says
that the tire still continued on the 4th. A thousand
men were employed in endeavouring to stop its progress‘
'."BERLIN, SEPT. 4.—The day 13:-,fore- yesterday there
was a large fire in the village of Vriekebruck, and
yesterday we were alarmed at the report that the town
of Spandau, in which are the powder magazines, &e.,
was in flames ; happily, however, it was only a barn
in the suburbs of the town. Yesterday evening a
building in the park was reduced to ashes. Such ac-
cidents are the more alarming at a time when the
scarcity of water is more and more felt. The
Spell and other streams are extremely low.
Restrictions in the consumption of water have been
issued in several provincial towns. Our markets are
well supplied, and no rise in prices is to be appre-
hended. The -official accounts of the flax and tobacco
crops in Silesia is very unfavourable. It says " The
flax has totally failed, the drought has done so much
injury to the tobacco, that the very most that can be
expected is an average crop.
COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2.—The harvest in Zealand is
aover; three weeks have sufficed for it. In
oinrob parts
winter corn has failed; the summer
corn was never finer.
It is very heavy and abundant.
Nobody ever remembers to have seen it yield so
some
a
the
amply; the barley is particularly remarkable for its
.
fine colour. The accounts from Fuhnen are not so
favourable.—Heiriburgh Papers, Sept 9.

Mr. Sarteris, who married Miss Adelaide'KeMble,
is not a fOreipner, as has been stated: He was born in
london, where hii father (who came from Geneva) re•
sided many years as a merchant.
