many
selves of the opportunity afforded for an attrac-
tive and inexpensive foreign trip. First-class fare
from Galway to Montreal is only 13 guineas, and
return tickets are issued for 24i. ; second-class, ten
guineas, and return tickets, 20/. ; third-class, six
guineas. As these rates include provisions, any-
thing more reasonable can scarcely be con-
ceived. The Galway route gives the shortest
sea passage between Europe and America,
the distance to Quebec being 2,280 miles,
of which upwards of 700 are in the smooth
waters of the St. Lawrence. The distance from

Liverpool to New York is 3,100 miles. The vessel
has already made the voyage two or three times,
Europe ,and
Quebec. As she will make two voyages to Mon-
treal this season, parties taking return tickets can
either come back on the 26th of August or the sth
hiwhich, up to that time
of October. The Canadian News suggests that, in
the latter case, a most agreeable and economical trip
can be made all through Canada, and as far west as
Chicago, or even the Mississippi, by the through
booking system of the Grand Trunk Railway. Re-
turning, the tourist can visit Niagara Falls, the
Canadian lakes, and the rapier
of the St. Lawrence ;
or the more active can make a detour to Cincinnati,
Washington, Baltimore, New York, Boston, and
Portland, whence there is daily communication by
railway with Quebec. At the above-quoted scale of
fares, a tourist need spend little more than half
what it would cost him to travel the same distance
in Europe.—Liverpool Albion.

SUICIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL—Yesterday morn-
ing information was received by the coroner of a deter-
mined suicide in the Regent's Cana', near the Hampstead-'
road, by a female of ladylike appearance, who delibe-
rately precipitated herself into the water, The action
was observed by some women, who raised an alarm, but
by the time assistance arrived she had sank, and when
got out life was quite extinct. The body, which is clad
in deep mourning, was taken to St. Pancras Workhouse
