The Wiener Zeitung of the 2d publishes the pro-
ject of the Minister of Commerce, Baron Von BRUCK,
relative to the organisation of the Central N aval
Board at Trieste (" Governo Centrale Mari-
timo.")

The duty of this board is the inspection of the
Austrian navy, in its entire shipping extent, in ascer-
taining and regulating its requisitions, as well as the
measures to be adopted in consequence, and in carry-
ing out all measures in this branch in all the coun-
tries lying along the coast.
This board is to constitute a mediating organ,
through which the Minister of Trade is to carry out
the laws of the empire, and the administrative regu-
lations regarding navigation, as well as all matters of
trade connected therewith, and to receive every infor-
mation relative to the Austrian marine trade.
This board, with harbour, sanitary, and lazaretto
institutions appertaining to it, is to be subject to the
Minister of Trade. The administrative power is to
extend to all naval sanitary institutions. His MA-
JESTY has given his Imperial sanction to the sphere
of operation, the organisation and the peraonnel of the
Central Naval Board at Trieste, and authorises the
Minister of Trade to carry out the same.
