The competition among the Margate steamers,
which enabled the Londoners to reach thact favouritelvt"
tering-place for one-third the usual fares, has latY
ceased. The Mercury, Captain Turner, which first co
re--
re--
menced running to Herne Bay and Margate at
duced fares, has been purchased of the Star Company by
the General Steam Navigation Company, and taken off
he station; and another steamer, the City of London,
started by the latter Company in opposition to the Mer-
cury, at still lower fares, has also ceased running. The
vessels of the old Companies, the Royal William, Royal
Adelaide, Red Rover, and City of Canterbury, "have
again possession of the business to Herne Bay and I.."Ar-
gate, and keep up the old fares.

V NOVEL CHASE.--On Friday morning, betweeni
eleven and twelve o'clock, a man who had for some time.
been an inmate of Charing-cross Hospital, and whose com-
plaint had at length affected his intellect, by some means
contrived to elude the vigilance of the sisters, nurses, and
porter at the door of the above institution, and to escape'
therefrom with only his shirt and shoes to cover him, and
darted off. He was quickly followed by a host of per-
sons connected with the hospital up Agar-street, a7ong
Chandos-street, through Bedford-court, and into BM-
ford-street, and he had actually arrived near the e:L•
trance to Covent-garden Market before he was captured,-
when a butcher's blue frock was thrown over him, and ha
was quietly reconveyed to his old quarters.
