FACILITIES TOR CROSSING THE CHANNEL. —Some
twenty years ago we had all to make ►n expensive journey
to London, and then get over to Calais or Ostend. Now
drawers cross from many ports on the east comet, and I
think I have seen ad vei card a vessel from Glasgow to
France. If you glmce at the map of Europe you will find
that this is not so preposterous a voyage as you might
suppose it to be. The fares of all these steamers are very
moderate, almost nominal. The reason of this is that
their fundamental object—that by which they at, sup-
ported—is the transport of goods. At present they bring
over to us the heaps of cheap fruit which they make
abundant in our seaports, and return with ireunfactured
goods. The pamenger traffic is a mere casual adjunct to
this—almost an act of courtesy and henevolenee to the
public, as the owners of these mem& would sometimes
make out. They are going at any rate, and Ito they do us
the favour to take us with them. The affair has its advan-
tages and its defects. Paying so little as we do, we have
no right to be critical ; and if we should complain th►t the
cabins are close and evil-Savoured, or should make a re-
presentation about the transcendent filthiness of the
steward who helps us to our victuals, and, as we cannot
help knowing, though ignorance would be great bliss,
also cooks them, the attempt would be a mere waste of
correspondence. There ie no rival who will promise you
better treatment for your twenty or thirty shillings, and
you must rest thankful that you bave accomplished the
transit of the Channel for so small a consideration.—
