“ Trieste, July 1st.—Dined at a public dinner given to me
oy about ninety of the principal merchants in the saloon of
"he theatre, M. Schlipfer, president of the Exchange Com-Mittes,
 in the chair. The speeches were delivered in the
Midst of the dinner. M. De Bruck, the projector and chief
director of Austrian Lloyd’s spoke well. Signor Dell’
Ongaro, who is an Italian and a poet, read a speech, in
Which he made allusion to Italian nationality, which drew
forth some hasty remarks from M. De Bruck, and led to a
Scene of some excitement. After dinner I porsuaded them
b shake hands. In speaking to the chairman during the
Yinner, he described the iron-masters in Styria as not having
® a series of years realized much money, notwithstanding
their being protected by heavy duties. Many of the nobility
We interested in these furnaces; their businesses badly
Managed. He gives a still worse description of the cotton-Spinners
 and manufacturers, who cling to the ways of their
fathers, and do not improve their machinery, being very
®ferior to the Swiss; does not know of an instance of one
of them retiring from business with a fortune, and few of
them aye rich in floating capital. A good band of an
Austrian regiment performed during the dinner.”
* Vienna, July 7th.—TLooked in to see the famous monu-Mental
 tomb by Canova, an original and successful design.
I think, however, this sculptor lived to enjoy the best of
his fame, and that posterity will hardly preserve the warmth
of enthuginsm for his genius thay was felt by the generston
 in which he lived.”
