and back again, via the Hudson River, West Point, the
Catskill Mountains, Santiago Springs, Lake George, Sharon
Springs, Niagara Falls, Toronto across Lake Ontario,
through the Thousand Islands and Rapids of the River
St. Lawrence, Montreal, Quebec, the River Saguenay,
Ha-Ha Bay, Tadsac, Murray Bay, Riviere du Loup, Trois
Pistols, and other fashionable watering places on the
Lower St. Lawrence; and front thence to Gorham (Now
Hampshire) rig Richmond to the White Mountains, or to
Portland (Maine), Rye Beach; Nahant, Boston, Rocky
Point, and Newport (Rhode Island), and then to New
York—is perhaps the most famous and fashionable sum-
mer tour in the world, and, when more known, will
attract travellers from European countries. It has been
pronounced by the unanimous press of America, and justly
to be unsurpassed for its rare combinations of wild and
romantic scenery, embracing as it does so many fashionable
watering places, noble rivers, lakes, cascades, mighty cata-
racts, and mountains.

is the grand hotel, kept by Messrs. Gale and Joslyn in a
very superior manner. At Sharon Springs there are a
number of modern houses, while at Trenton Falls there is
but one, but that is an excellent one, and no fault will be
found with any of its departments. At St. Catherine'a
the Stephenson House, kept by Mr. Stephenson, situated
on the grounds of the mineral springs, is a fine large
liouse, well conducted. The Welland House is also a good
hotel, placed in the centre of the town. At the Falls of

is a handsome house, elegantly fitted and furnished, and
pleasantly placed in the most convenient and central part
of the city. The Albion (Messrs. Sargent and Decker)
is also a good family hotel, and to those who wish to
economise will be found the less expensive. At the City
of Quebec you have two splendid hotels to choose
from. The St. Louis and Palace-street Hotels, kept in a.
superb manner by Mr. Willis Russell. Attached to the
St. Louis Hotel is an opera house, to which you pass
directly from the ladies' drawing-room. These hotels are
the favourite resort of fashionable travellers, both Ameri-
can and European, en route to or from the River Saguenay,
the White Mountains, &c., &c. Numbers sojourn here for
weeks, enjoying the beauties and attractions in and about
Quebec—the Falls of Montmorenci, the Natural Steps, the
Indian Village of Lorette. At Gorham, in New Hamp-
shire, there is the Alpine House (conducted in a superior
manner by John R. Hitchcock), which is the only hotel in
the place. From this point you take your departure for
Mount Washington and other of the White Mountains;
and here you make the ascent of Mount Washington by
carriage. Mr. Hitchcock has a regular line, and carriages
leave the Alpine House for the Tip-top House on the sum-
mit of Mount Washington four or five times a day ; while
those who prefer the ascent on horseback can choose from
several hundred horses kept for that purpose in the stables
of the Alpine House. At Portland (Maine) the Preble House
is the best, 'pleasantly situated, and well kept ; at Rye
Beach there is but one, the Ocean House, but it is com-
fortably managed by J. Jenners and Son. Passing on to
Boston you can halt at Pevere or Tremont House ; there
are also the United States and American hotels, excellent
houses. At Rocky Point you will find the Oak Dell,
Ocean House, well kept, by L. H. Humphries. At New-
port there is John G. Weaver's renowned Ocean House, a,
magnificent establishment, fitted and furnished in a hand-
some mauner, and resorted to by the creme de la creme.
The Acquideneck House has also a large share of public
favour, and there are numerous other hotels in the place.
In the city of New York tourists will find St. Nicholas,
Fifth Avenue, Metropolitan, and Astor House, tho most
superb and popular. In commenciug this tour if you desire
to proceed direct through, from Now York to Albany, you
must take either the splendid steamer Dean Richmond, Cap-
tain Stephen J. Roe, or the steamer St. John, Captain M.
B. Christopher, at 6 o'clock, from the foot of Canal-street,
North River; for by leaving New York at 6 p.m.
you arrive at Albany at daylight, and at Saratoga
at breakfast-time. These excellent steamers, be-
longing to the People's line, are perhaps the
largest and handsomest vessels of the kind in the
From Albany you take the cars to Saratoga,
thence to Lake George ; then again by cars to Schenectody.
Here you enter the fine cars of the New York Central Rail
way for Niagara Falls via Sharon Springs and Trenton
Falls. From Niagara you again take the cars from Lewis-
ton where you find the fine steamer City of Boston is
readiness to convey you to Toronto. Returning to Lewis-
ton, the steamers of the famed American Express Line are
ready to take you across Lake Ontario, through the Thou-
sand Islands, and down the Rapids to Montreal. M. B.
Sheldon, Esq., the agent of this lino, lives at Niagara Falls,
from whom every information can be obtained. From
Toronto the Royal Mail Line also passes over this route to
Montreal, and the boats aro good and well arraed. From
Montreal you have the choice to go to Quebec either by
rail or boat. You can leave Montreal by
csteanamb leave by the
night boat, and arrive at Quebec at daylight thste e following
morning.

these boats leave Quebec for the Saguenay every other
day. From Quebec you take the Grand Trunk Railway to
Portland, via Richmond and Gorham (New Hampshire).
This line, under the general management of C. J. Brydges
Esq., has, like the Great Eastern Railway in connection
with the Portland and Portsmouth railways to Boston,
become marked for safety, speed, and comfort. The former
under the general management of J. Prescott, Esq., and
the latter under Francis Chase, Esq., form the most direct
and perfect line that can be made between the cities of
Boston and Quebec. Passing on from Boston to Newport,
by the Newport and Boston Railway, also admirably con-
ducted, you return to the city of New York by the grand
steamers of the Now York and Newport line. Three or
four months can be spent with enjoyment in traversing
this charming route. Those who wish to have further in-
formation can obtain it on application to John Arthur and
Co., No. 10, Rue Castiglione, Paris; to Percy C. Smith,
agent of the People's Lino of Steamers' Pier, 47, North
River, Now York; or of the agents of the steamers, at the
foot of Desbrosses-street, North River, Now York, who
will supply tickets and information.—Angle-American

THE BICESTER HOUNDS.—This pack, the Hon.
W. North, master, met at the Town-hall, Banbury, on
Saturday last, at 11 o'clock. Thousands of foot people as-
sembled in the Cow Fair, and horsemen mustered in great
force. A plain but substantial luncheon was laid out in
the council chamber of the town-hall, which was partaken
of by the country gentlemen, farmers, and others. The
hounds were then taken over the bridge into Northamp-
tonshire, and proceeded to draw the covers at Williamscot
and Chacombe. Thus within the last few weeks the War-
wickshire and Bicoster hounds have each met within the
boundaries of this ancient town of cakes and ale, and it is
probable that during the next hunting season the practice
will be continued.
The North German Parliament adopted on:Tues-
day last, Articles 44 to 52 of the draught of the
constitution, referring to the postal, telegraphic,
naval, navigation, and consular systems. An amend-
ment, proposed by Baron von Vincke, of Olbendorf,
to Article 50, declaring that the costs of the war
fleet, and naval establishments are not to be borne
by the Federal treasury, was also adopted ; as well
as an amendment of ll.tron Von Rabenau to Article
51, selecting black, white, and red as the colours of
the war flag of the Confederation. During the
