SATURDAY,

Obituarg.

Earl of Sandwich', and wife of Lord Ashburton, died
at pal is on Monday last, while en route to Eigland
from Nice.

MR. DAVID TREVENA CoULtoN, who died at
Brighton yesterday morning (the Bth inst.), after a
brief illness, was distinguished as an English
journalist of marked reputation. He was the
founder of the Britannia newspaper; and by his
ability, conscientiousness, and manly independence,
won for that journal a prominent and influential
position. Mr. Coulton was also from time to time
an eminent contributor to our periodical literature,
and as the author f - Fortune " was well known in
literary circles. Up to the period of his death Mr.
Coulton was closely connected with journalism, and
the English press in him has lost one of its most
able, most sagacious, and most vigorous writers.

THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN HUNGARY.
As the clock struck four, the war-steamer Croatia,
which acted as pilot-boat to the Imperial steam-
yacht, passed underneath the bridge, and five
minutes later the guns from two signal-steamers,
which were posted higher up the river, announced
to the vast crowds in the streets of Pesth that the
Adler (Eagle) was about to appear. As soon as that
ill built, tub like vessel had passed Buda, and turned
her head up stream towards the landing-place, the guns
of the Blocksberg fortress began to fire salutes alter-
nately with the above mentioned signal-steamers.
Shortly after the Imperial yacht appeared the
Francis Joseph and Elizabeth steamers, with depu-
tations which had gone up to Gran to present their
respects to their Majesties. After the Emperor had
listened to the speech addressed to him be re-
plied that he had now kept a promise formerly
made to his Hungarian subjects, which was, that he
would bring the Empress to see them. His INlajesty
added, that he had come in person to learn the
wishes and necessities of the Hungarian nation.
"On this," said my Blagyar informant, " there
was a loud cry of ' Eljen !' which would have had
no end, if the Monarch had only added, and to
grant its reasonable demands."' lhe Imperial cor-
tege entered the city by the triumphal arch, and,
of er having passed through some of the principal
streets, crossed the bridge in the following order :
A band of Lancers, a "Banderium " of Curranier,
the Court Trumpeters, Court Gendarmerie, carriages
of nobles, Prince Esterbazy in his state carriage-
and-six, with twenty-five running footmen, Prince
Nicholas Esterhazy in a carriage and-six, with twenty-
two running footmen. The Primate of Hungary was
also drawn by six horses, as was some other I re-
late. Here my observations were for the moment
interrupted by an officer, who came and requested
my neighbours and myself to make room for the
Archducal cldldren. Four charming little girls came
and endeavoured to distinguish the " Kais...r," but
before trey were able to do so they were summoned
to the palace, to see the cortege enter the coutt of
that place. As I took my stand at a window which
hail been kindly placed at my disposal, the Cuma-
nier, in black velvet dresses faced with brown fur,
entered the court, and a gipsy band welcomed them
aid' one of those melancholy national airs which, if
once heard, are rarely forgotten. The carriages
soon followed the Cumaniers into the court of the
palace. and when the splendid vehicles with six horses
art ived, the wild children of the "puszta" suddenly
struck up the National Anthem to the great dismay of
the military baud, which seas playing something front
the Puritani. The gipsy leader had just managed
to silence his men when the Court lackeys appeared,
and directly after them a great number of officers
and a few Hungarian nobles, who jumped off their
horses and hastened to place themselves near the
entrance to the palace. A small "Banderium "of
Jazygier was followed by a bishop on horseback, who
carried before him a silver cross, which seemed to
be as massive as an ancient mace. Behind the
prelate rode the Emperor, in the uniform of an
Austrian General, and a'ter him came a brilliant
suite. The next in the procession was the Empress
in the state glass-coach, drawn by eight marniticent
greys. Her Majesty, who looked remarkably well,
wore an Hungarian headdress. The rear was
brought up by the Court equipages, in which sat
the ladies attached to the Court. That their
Majesties were received with loud cheers and
flourishes of trumpets need hardly be said. Alter
having received the compliments of the authorities
and nobility in their apartments, the Emperor and
Empress, with their suite, went to the chapel of t.
castle, where " Te Deum" was sung.—Letter from
Vienna.
