compare with England in the amount of corn and
meat raised on the same area ? He believes, judging
from extensive observation in other countries, that
meat, dear enough now, would, under a system of
peasant proprietary, with England's teeming popula-

before the eyes of his ceuntrymen a picture of Russia, its scenery,

Designs for removing many of the difficulties and
much of the delay experienced in the short
voyage between England and France have been
before the public for many years, and the
extreme necessity for a more expeditious and more
comfortable mode of transit has been generally con-
ceded. No scheme, however, seems to have been
taken up with such • avidity, and pushed
so far in the way of adoption, as that
of Mr. Fowler, upon which a committee of the
House of Commons has now reportodso favourably.
Mr. Fowler proposes that harbours of a large
size should be constructed at Dover and at Andre-
cellos, near Boulogne, that immense steam vessels be
used in the voyage from one port to another, and
that trains of twelve carriages proceeding
from London to • Paris, and vice versa,
should be enabled by means of hydraulic lifts
to run off the lines on to the decks of the vessels,
so that in the through journey a passenger never
need leave his • seat. Fowler considers
that the steamers, being so large and well
balanced, will go smoothly over the roughest
sea, and he calculates that the expense of•
the whole undertaking to England will only amount
to £820,000. On Thursday the Committee of the
House of Commons decided that the preamble of the
bill- for the adoption of Mr. Fowler's undertaking
MIS proved, subject to the introduction of provisions
reserving the powers of the Boards of Admiralty and
Works. It has been, however, decided that the
operation of the Act must be withheld until the
Emperor gives his assent to :the enterprise, aiid that
no steps shill be taken to commence the works
until the whole of the capital required by the com-
pany who have charge of the scheme, is subscribed,
and half of it paid up.

COST.-For each daily service, or for each daily Telegram, the
charge will be 2s. per week; or for each service or Telegram once

by the obvious remark. that college tutors get
six months holiday instead of three. As for the
profit obtained by the masters and dames from this
extra week, charged, as usual, in the quarter's
account, it is very trifling, as the rent, the servants'
-wages, and other items must be deducted from
it. The " Eton Master" thinks, however,
that there would be no objection to a deduction
of ten or fifteen shillings being made from the account
of any parent who desired it. Considering the class
of fathers who send their boys to Eton, it is not very
probable that this economical suggestion will be
carried out.
