A correspondent of the Time* reports e conver-
sation with a French gentleman and lady met by him on
board a steamer coming down the chain of Rocks from In-
ner to Fort William. On the subject of expense, the
French tourist remarked:—"l arrived the night before
last with madame at the most respectable hotel at Lim-
verness. We studied economy in everything. See the bill
presented to me this morning-21. 10s. It is too much.
Such a bill deters travellers. Ina word, o'est stupid& Your
London hotels are far worse. For two days in an hotel
at the west-end wo were made to pay U. To charge in
that way is outrageous. It is wicked; e'rel a eol. You
understand now why the French fear to travel in Eng-
land." Large hotels, be prooseded to my, were wanted
at the points of greatest retort. Then there would be
reasonable charges and many more tourists.

Miss Burdett Coutts' generous proposal to offer
prizes in promotion of the cultivation of the cotton plaut
was taken into consideration at the last meeting of the
executive committee of the Cotton Supply Association.

the amount, in order that some carefully matured plan
may be tried in India, " as the most promising of our
souicee of cotton supply."
