(FROM A CORR ESrONDENT OF THE TELEGRAPH.)
TRIESTE, Jan. 16.
For the last three days visitors have been pour-
ing into this city almost without intermission ;
not only from all parts of the empire, but from
North and South, East and West. They are
mostly persons of distinction, either sent by
counties, towns, and bodies corporate, to offer a tri-
bute of public respect to the remains of a Prince
who was at once the friend of the people, of free-
dom, and of commerce ; or attracted to the mourn-
ful ceremony I have just witnessed by personal re-
miniscences of his Imperial Majesty, who had filled
so many offices of importance during his eventful
life, and had, in one and all, won the affection and
esteem of those with whom his duties brought him
in contact. From Florence, Venice, and Milan Caine
gentlemen bearing the proudest names of Italy's
ancient aristocracy ; proving, by their presence,
that one Hapsburg at least had succeeded in earn-
ing the regard of Austria's whilom rebellious vas-
sals. The great families of Citadella-Vigodar-
zere, Coxio, Pardzai, Bembo, Mezzacapo, &c., were
represented by their respective heads. Grandees
of Spain, Boyards from Russia, Prussian nobles,
naval officers from Dentnark,7;Sweden, and other
maritime kingdoms ; Croat chieftains, Hungarian
magnates, Dalmatian gentry, and notabilities from
Belgium, Holland, &c., crowded the hotels and
quite thronged the Corso—Trieste's afternoon
lounge—with types "of various nationalities. At
the Albergo della Citta, where I have been stay-
ing, we have had several Archdukes, the mili-
tary Governor of Venice, Prince Windischgratz,
Prince de Wurternberg, and a host of Imperial
Chamberlains, Admirals, proprietors of regi-
ments, and high officials. Our table d'hote
has resembled a Court dinner table, and
our tabagie the antechamber of a throne room.
Many of these visitors have left with the special
train conveying the body to Vienna ; amongst
others, Marquis Coxio, and Count de Bombelles,
the former of whom was- one of the few Milanese
gentlemen whom Maximilian attached to his ser-
vice whilst Viceroy of Lombardy, and the latter his
earliest friend and playmate, fs.ithful to him in good
and evil fortune, as, indeed, hundreds of gallant
gentlemen have proved. Mr. Eloin, who was re-
ceived at Osborne by her Majesty, on his arrival in
England from a Mexican prison, also accompanied
the mourning suite. The train will arrive on
Friday (to-morrow) evening at Vienna, taking
thirty-two hours to perform the three hundred
mile journey, although it will only stop twice on
the road for fuel and water. No demonstrations
will be made at any station betweeen Trieste and
Vienna.

Yesterday the buoys extending in a semicircle
across the bay, some four hundred yards from the
head of the Molo San Carlo, were cleared of the
ve;zsels moored to them, and all the smaller craft
in port disposed of along the quays, so as to leave
ample elbow-room for the expected squadron. At
about half-past six p.m., it being ten quite dark,
the Novara, Radetzky, Donau, Adria, and Vile-
bich glided silently into the inner harbour, and
took up the places assigned for them. No salute was
fired, either by ships of the squadron or the port
batteries. The Imperial Capitano de Porto, who,
of course, was first man on board the flagship to
greet the Admiral, and make the final arrangements
for the day's ceremony, was good enough to bear a
message to the hero of Lissa, which resulted in the
miniature steamer of the Naval Board being placed
at my disposal for a visit to the Novara. As we
steamed briskly out into the bay, I was much struck
with the brilliant and picturesque appearance pre-
sented by Trieste, glittering with light, and nest-
ling in the sinuosities of the hilly coast—snowy
white villas dotting the rocky terraces that form the
background of the town, and forests of masts
spreading out to the right and left of the massive
Mole. In a few minutes we reached the black side
of the frigate, and were ushered past the chapelle
ardente, in which the coffin of Maximilian
was lying, into the Admiral's cabin, where
we found Tegethoff surrounded by his offi-
cers, and paid our respects to the Austrian
Collingwood. The Admiral looked exceedingly
well, and gave a highly satisfactory account of his
eanctoeurnhteerreddebpaardturweeaftrhoemr

up
'sheone
occasion Novara
f
Cadiz, when a heavy gale set in, which lasted for
several hours. With this exception she has been
singularly fortunate, having made an unusually
quick run from Vera Cruz to the coast of Spain.
Whilst we were conversing the Prince and two
Princesses Auersperg came on board, with the re-
quest that they might be permiti;ed to offer up
prayers for the soul of the dead Emperor in the
chapel on the main deck ; and when the officer
who conducted me thither drew back the heavy
hangings veiling the entrance, it was a touching
sight to see the group of mourning friends kneeling
round the huge polished coffin, enshrined on a vel-
vet-covered dais, and illuminated by tall yellow
candles, shedding a soft and mysterious light upon the
insignia of royalty covering the bier. The decora-
tions of the chapel were black and silver, the Mexi-
can,Austrian,and Hapsburg family arms emblazoned
on the drapery ; and the coffin, made of lustrous
grenadillo—a rare and precious South American
wood—was partly shrouded in a black and gold
pall, upon which rested the Imperial crown of
Mexico, the Archducal coronet, the collars of the
Mexican Eagle and the Golden Fleece. Round the
chapel door stood the guard of honour, composed of
naval lieutenants, and an unnatural stillness reigned
over the whole vessel, the more remarkable as the
Novara bad but just arrived from a long voyage,
and as on such occasions the discipline of a man-
of-war, however normally strict, is generally re-
laxed. The whole scene made a deep and painful
impression upon me, and I was unfeignedly glad
to take my leave of the gallant admiral, and return
to the gaily-lighted quays and cheerful streets of
the Free City. Shortly after I got ashore the
Archdukes Louis Victor, Charles Louis, and Ernest
went on board, and
prayed over the body of their
beloved brother and cousin, and other visitors of
high rank followed. I can but publicly return
thanks to Admiral Tegethoff for having accorded
me the privilege of being the first to set foot on
the deck of the Novara upon so interesting an
occasion.

This morning at eight o'clock a general salute
was fired, the first gun booming from the Schwar-
zenberg, and the last from the Minerva, the late
Archduke's first command. Having by the kind
intervention of Baron Godel Lannoy, the president
of the Naval Board, been assigned a place in the
boat commanded by the captain of the port, I em-
barked with Cavalier° Blassi3h at the small pier
opposite the • Seebehorde, and eight stout rowers
soon swept our gig, containing the Austrian
colours draped iu black crape, into the centre of
the bay. On approaching the Novara we found
the boats of the squadron already drawn up
around her, and the funeral floating platform upon
which the coffin was to be conveyed to the Mole
lashedeenkept alongside.
Signor Tonello, to
thisperfectly secretbg°rg by eons object which had
whom its construction had been confided by the
Emperor, suggested by its gloomy magnificence
the famous Bucentaur of which such strange
stories are still recounted by the fishermen of
Chioggia and the older gondoliers of the lagoons.
It was not a boat—it was not a car—neither was
it a raft; but a strange sombre mixture of all
three, like to nothing I ever saw, and possessing a
weird cachet of its own. Let me try and describe
it to you. An oblong square chest, itself something
.in shape like a coffin, apparently floating on the
surface of the water, but really built on a huge
broad-bottomed boat, no plank of-which, however,
is visible, the black draperies depending from the
upperpart of the Bucentaur sweeping the face of
the water. Upon the platform formed by the
top of tbis enormous chest is built a raised dais
shadowed by a lofty canopy, the four supports of
which are life-size figures in full dead silver armour
with closed vizors, resting against trophies of an-
cient war implements ; on the dais a black velvet
altar hedged round with enormous candles fitted
into wooden sockets ; and the apex of the canopy,
a colossal Imperial crown of gold, glowing in the
morning sun, Immediately forward of the dale

a black and gold flagstaff, upon which, as the
body was transferred from the frigate to the Bu-
centaur (I can find no other name for it) the Im-
perial standard was hoisted half-mast high. Again,
forward of the flagstaff, a broad, square pedestal,
about eight feet high, upon which couches a mighty
silver lion, thrice the size of life, his heavy head re-
posing upon his paws. Beneath this typification of
Royal grief a winged female figure, also in dead sil-
ver, stretching both arms towards the sea, a crown
of laurel in each hand. Upon the sides of the dais
coats of arms richly emblazoned ; and round the
altar robed priests chanting sonorous hymns, and
swinging censers slowly backwards and forwards.
It was a lovely morning. Hundreds of boats glided
,Lbout the bay. The squadron of light war-ships,
drawn up in a semicircle, seemed to be guarding
the catafalque from the rest of the world mourn-
fully but sternly. The Novara herself, every rope
in its place save one hanging from the mainyard,
presently to swing the Imperial coffin over her
side. The dancing water decked with sunbeams.
All this made up a sight never to be forgotten.
As half-past nine struck the boatswain's whistle
sounded through the frigate, and a crimson-gold
object rose majestically out of her breast, paused
.1 moment in mid-air, and then descended slowly
till it reached the altar on the Bucentaur, where it
was received by the priests and covered with a
white pall. This was the triple coffin containing
the remains of qe Emperor of Mexico. I should
mention that his body is enclosed in a copper
coffin cornered with laurel wreaths ; over the
bead of the corpse a golden cross is let in to
the lid, and at its feet is inscribed, in letters of
black, on a gold tablet, " Ferdinandus Maxi-
milianus, Arcidux Austria, natus i❑ Schoen-
brunn, VI. Julij, MDCCCXXXII., qui Imperator
,Nlexikanorum anno AID C GCLX[V. electus,
.lira et cruenta nece Queleatari XIX. juliii,
heroica, cum virtute interiit,
11.5. E." The coffin of grenadillo comes next,
and the whole is covered by a crimson velvet and
gilt metal shell, in which it will be conveyed to
Vienna. As soon as the tackle was loosened from
the coffin, Tegethoff descended the companion
ladder and took his place by the head of the corpse,
eight commanders surrounding the dais with drawn
swords. One by one the insignia beforo described
were lowered down and arranged on the pall, the
boats of the squadron got into position, and at a
given signal the tiny tug attached to the Bucentaur
shot out a ship's length ahead, stretching her tow
rope till it quivered, and the solemn cortege moved
gravely towards the shore. Boom I a 36-pounder
gives the saluting signal from the Novara, and is
mocked by pieces of various calibre from the other
warships and the land batteries. From the arena of
the Karst issues a rattle and a roar—the echo
seems louder even than the' report. Onward
towards the Mole we row with/slow and measured
stroke. The Bucentaur looks an awful, living thing,
conscious of the tragedy whose victim it bears. The
mere contrast of colour, the dead, frosty silver
against the rich deep black, produces an effect inex-
pressibly melancholy ; the hollow suits of armour
(their very emptiness is ghastly), the couching lion,
the deep chant of the priests, the faint perfume of
the incense hovering over the wake of the catafalque
nothing could be more impressive, nothing more
mournful. •

We arrived at the Mole before the body, and
found every inch of the long pier occupied by a
crowd of official personages, waiting to accompany
the procession to the station. Close to the laud-
ing-stage about twenty Franciscan friars, with
long brown robes, shaven polls, and flowing
beards, formed the vanguard of a small clerical
army clad in the variegated garments of the Roman
Church. A car (a description of which I forwarded
in a former letter) was drawn up ready to receive
the corpse ; but the six gigantic stallions were not
harnessed to it—they were some distance off on the
quay, rearing, prancing, and kicking at every
fresh discharge of powder. As soon as the body
had been let down from the Bacentaur over an in-
clined plane to its place in the car, where it was
prayed over at great length by the clergy, 1 left
the Mole, wishing to see the procession on land,
from a window in the town. Walking along the
lino of march, I noticed that not only were all the
houses hung with black and silver draperies, but
that every person in the streets, rich or poor, had
mounted some outward sign of mourning. All
the shops were shut, and the whole population
had turned out to take a last look at the coffin of
its well-beloved Prince. The procession was na-
turally military in its character—three battalions
of the 67th (Hungarian), one battalion of Wimp-
ffen (Croat), one battalion marines, and one of
Coast artillery ; the municipality of Trieste,
headed by the town banner, an ancient emblem
of its liberties, presented to it by the Emperor
Charles VI. ; the Archdukes on foot ; three mili-
tary bands; the car, guarded by officers carrying
lighted tapers ; and, lastly, a huge body of mag-
nates, consuls, officers, chamberlains, Lloyd's cap-
tains, bankers, merchants, nobles of all nations
(except England and France), all massed together
in inextricable confusion, headed by Tegethoff,
the general commanding, and the great officials of
the Household. Beethoven's Dead March, played
alternately by the regimental orchestras, furnished
music well worthy even of so imposing a spectacle.
From the thousands of gazers lining the pave-
ment on either side the roadway not a sound
arose; silent and sorrowful they saw the long
cortege pass by, and then dispersed as noiselessly
as though they had been treading holy ground.
Arrived at the station, the body was placed on the
open car prepared for it ; the persons appointed
to accompany the late Emperor to his last resting-
place were distributed over a train of unusual
length ; the local notabilities took leave of the Arc-
hdukes and of their friends ; and shortly afterwards
the company of mourners started on their long and
painful journey. As far as Trieste is concerned,
the last act of Maximilian's terrible drama was
played out ; and, all honour having been paid to
his earthly remains, nothing is left to those he has
so materially benefited but the remembrance of a
good, gentle, and heroic gentleman. It is true
that the navy he made and organised will be here
before their eyes for many a year to remind them of
him ; that his eternal repose will be solicited from
Heaven by hundreds of poor Triestini over whom
his generous hand has been stretched out full and
withdrawn empty.

Everything connected with this ceremony has
been tastefully imagined and well carried out, but
I cannot forbear expressing my astonishment and
regret with respect to two wrongs, one of omission
and the other of commission, which have caused
great pain to many of the Archduke's best friends.
The first is that the British Government should
not have thought fit to send a man-of-
war to Trieste for the ceremony. To me it
appears inconceivable that a frigate should not
have been detached from our Mediterranean fleet
to pay a tribute of English respect to a Prince
who was so well known in England as a thorough
sailor, and whose deplorable fate has awakened
more real sympathy in Great Britain than any-
where else. That the French flag was absent no-
body regretted ; but people did believe that Old
England, the maritime nation par excellence, would
manifest her esteem for the man who created the
only navy, save her own, that has done anything
worth speaking of in modern times. The wrong of
commission is that the authorities of Trieste per-
mitted a masked ball to be held in the Arrnonia
Theatre last night—at which ball a military band
performed for the delectation of a company com-

posed of the lowest snobs and " gay" women—
whilst the Novara was anchored in the bay with an

Imperial corpse—that of Trieste's benefactor—lying
Ln mournful state, surrounded by weeping friends

fuld r.lations.

A new weekly newspaper, chiefly devoted to the
interests of j Ant stock companies, entitled The Commer-
cial Review, has just mada its appearance. It is well and
sensibly written ; the information it conveys is copious
and reliable; and the object of its conductors seems to be
to "speak out" fearlessly and disinterestedly. The new
paper is excellently printed, and it bears about it all the
elements of a sound and lasting success.

EQUITY.

TUE itIGIITS Or SURETiES AS CREDITORS.—The right
of a surety to claim as a creditor against the estate of his
fellow non-paying bondsman was made the subject of dis-
cussion in the court of the Master of the Rolls in a suit
for au administration decree against the trustees of the
estate of a Mr. Cochran. In the year 1854 a Mr. De Wolf
joined in a bond for £2,000 with Mr. Cochran, which was
deposited with the notorious Royal British Bank, of which
the latter was a director. Mr. Cochran having fled the
country in 1856, Mr. De Wolf, on the 21st of January in
the following year, was called upon to pay £l,OOO on the
bond, and in the following April he discharged
the remainder of the liabilities. In July 1857
Mr. Cockrane became a bankrupt, and his surety
had his claim allowed under the proceedings. The
bankruptcy, however, was not proceeded with, and
Mr. Cochran having died in May 1562, Mr. De Wolf now
prayed the court to order the deceased's estate to be ad-
ministered and his claim discharged from the proceeds.
Under ordinary circumstances the debt would, of course,
have been barred by the statute of limitations, but it was
argued that contracts entered into between bondsmen are
possessed of a special character. The whole matter turned
upon the construction of the clauses relating to sureties
contained in the Act passed in June 1856 ; and Lord
flomilly decided that the administration decree must be
made as prayed.
THE GENERAL EXCHANGE BANK.—An application was
made to the Master of the Rolls, on behalf of the liquida-
tor of the General Exchange Bank, to compel the General
Provident Assurance Company to carry out an agreement
entered into between the two companies on the 23rd of
Nov., 1866. The General Provident Assurance Company
arranged to purchase the business of the General Exchange
Bank for a sum amounting to £60,000 or £lO,OOO, the money
to be forthcoming in instalments. A portion of the busi-
ness of the Exchange Bank consisted of advances made
upon mortgaGe, and the agreement sought to be enforced
provided that Mr. Hayward, the manager of the General
Provident A ssurance Company, should hand over weekly
to the liquidator of the Exchange Bank all moneys
received on account of those mortgages. This was done
for some time, but disputes arose between the two com-
panies. A bill was then filed to compel specific perform.
%nee, and on the 17th June, 1867, the Master of the Roll
appointed a receiver. The ground of resistance to th
kTlicP-ion was that the Exchange Bank had failed
to give good titles to the mortgages in question.
It was suggested by his lordship that it would be a wise
course for the National Assurance Company to consent,
pending the hearing of the suit, to pay the money into the
bands of the receiver—a course which was virtually agreed
to. but not definitely arranged until the representatives el
the two companies had been consulted.

THE LIABILITY OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS.—A question
affecting the liability of the directors of a railway corn'
parry who enter into expenses after the appointment of a
receiver by the Court of Chancery, was raised in Vice.
Chancellor Wood's court in the case of the Carmarthen and
Cardigan Railway Company. The company being in diffi
culties a receiver was nominated by the court, to whom al/
rates and tolls were to be paid, and by whom all necessary es
penses were to be defrayed. A new board of director*
havinft keen elected, they considerably reduced the costs of
the company, obtaining the services of a secretary
salary of £250, instead of £BOO, and materially lessening
amounts payable to other officers. They, however
wined the tenancy of a furnished house, at a rental of
100 per annum, in the Blackfriars-road, at which th*
meetings of the company were held. This was eventually
riven up, when it was found that the chance of its being
-equired for the new street from Blackfriars to the Man
lion House was remote, and another house at a rent of
25 per annum taken. Some other expenses were also
;incurred. These a creditor objected to bein„ paid by th*
court. —The Vice-Chancellor held that after the appoint
anent of the receiver the directors ought only to haul
mcurrei expenses absolutely necessary, and disallowed th*
sent of the house after the first quarter. The new rents
he, however, sanctioned.
