COWES, ISLE OF
WIGHT.
(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

• COWES JUNE 4, .
THE WEATHER.—The month of, May 1848
has been a
scorching one, and the spring corn and the hay crops
have consequently suffered. The potatoes could not
go in in April, in consequence of the continued rains,
sad the land was baked so hard in May that it caused
much labour to break it up. With the exception of a
shower on the 17th, there was no rain from the 28th of
April to the 31st of May. The hay harvest has pretty
generally commenced, but the crop is a light one. A
larger breadth of potatoes has been planted this year
than on any former one, and the rain that appears now
set in will be highly beneficial to them and the other
growing crops. Wind S.W., Bar. 29.50.
Died at West Cowes, May 30, Mrs. Elizabeth Roper,
in the 66th year of her age. She was for many years
the highly-respected hostess of the Vine Hotel. Many
a fashionable visitor, and not a few commercial men, will
consider her death a public loss.

HOTEL CHARGES.
Charges on a railway for scalding yourself with a cup
of tea or a basin of soup are extraordinary, but still we
think they lag far behind those of the railway hotels.
The bill is always made out on the principle of never
seeing the visitor again. lie is therefore charged as
much as his patience or his purse will bear, which is a
sure plan of inducing him never to return. Our feelings
towards Southampton, for instance, are anything but
friendly, and the next time we visit that inhospitable
town we shall walk up and down the pier all night, or go
to bed in the boiler of the engine, sooner than submit to
the atrocious impositions of the railway hotels. We
were in one for five minutes, during which time the
waiter exchanged just three words with us, when we
were asked at the door for " one shilling." " What for?'
we indignantly exclaimed. " Attendance, sir, one shil-
ling." It is true we might have stopped all the night
conversing with the same attendant for the same amount;
still, we thought that fourpence a word was a trifle too
dear, even to converse with a waiter at Southampton.
We beg to draw up a small scale of prices, moderate
too, for the general use of railway hotels.

This would do capitally for a casual visitor ; but if a
person slept there, might be shown
in the high valuation of each separate item, recollecting
always that it is not very likely you will ever see the
