TIM NEW OVERLAND ROUTE.

(From the Bombay lames.)
We perceive that the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation
Company are making active endeavours to secure the patron-
age of Indian passengers who come out, and go home, by
the Overland route Should Lieut.. Waghorn succeed in
proving the superiority, in point of time, of the journey via
Trieste, there can be little doubt that the majority of the
passengers will hereafter proceed through Germany, instead
of direct to Southampton, or by way of France. The vessels
of the Austrian Lloyd's Company, it appears, have health
officers on board, and on arrival with clean bills the passen-
gers only have to perform about twenty-four hours' quaran-
tine on board of the same packet. The passage money from
Alexandria to Trieste for first-class accommodation is 120
Austrian florins—the florin being worth 2s. ld.—wlule an
additional charge of five florins is made for bed. We extract
the following description of the different routes from Trieste
from the Company's last fare bill
RO IITES FROM TniEsTE —This handsome commercial city
baiug in a central position, truveliers for Great Britain may
choose any of the various picturesque and highly interesting
routes hi that direction with little difference as to time or
expense, giving themselves an easy opportunity of visiting
in their way several of the most beautiful and im-
portant portions of Europe, including the celebrated
German baths and mineral springs. It is impossible, in a
limited space, to particularise the lines that may be selected;
but, among the prominent points, more or less within
them, may be cited the following—namely, Venice, Lom-
bardy, biilan, Switzerland, Lyons, Paris, the Tyrol, Inspruck,
Munich, Frankfort, the Rhine, Cologne, Brussels, Saltsburg,
Vienna, &e. A reference to a good map or the guide books
will convince any one of the advantages which Trieste offers,
especially as there are not only from that place commodious
public conveyances daily fur every direction, but also rail
roads in several parts of the different lines (which, by the
e, are constantly increasing), besides steam navigation on
the Rhine, &c. And considering the facilities now conceded
by the Austrian Government, in regard to quarantine, it is
presumed that the journey from Alexandria to any point of
the eastern coast of England, via Trieste, may be effected in
at least as short a time as by any other channel, with this
advantage—of its offering a great diminution of sea voyage.
From Alexandria to Trieste, via Syra, the passage occupies
9 to 10 days, the number of hours steaming being 145 to 165.
The rest of the time is occupied in coaling and other neces-
sary operations at Syra and Corfu, which, however, is no
loss to the traveller, as the whole time is reckoned as part of
the quarantine. The route through Germany or northern
Italy is further recommended as one of economy. —Bombay

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE EARL OF GRANVILLE.—
We regret to state the Earl of Granville continues in a very
precarious condition. On Friday evening the Noble Earl
was taken suddenly worse, and in addition to his Lordship's
medical attendant, constantly with the Earl at Roehampton,
three physicians were summoned from the metropolis, for
consultation. The Duke of Devonshire, Viscount Leveson,
and the other members of the family assembled at gain that on Saturday morning, but we are gratified to learn that
his Lordship had experienced a favourable night, and was
considered better. Ou Sunday the accounts were more fa.
vourable.

Chest, now in progress at Bromplon, have just received
among other donations, the sum of 100 guineas, under the
signature of " A Pharisee," on behalf of the building of the
new hospital.
FATAL RAILWAY AcclDENTs.—About five o'clock
on Friday morning, a melancholy accident occurred at the
Kilwinning station of the Ayrshire Railway, whereby, we
regret to add, a porter, named Henry Murray, lost his life.
The deceased. who had been assisting in pushing forward two
trucks, to attach them to the luggage train from Ayr, in-
cautiously attempted to do so when they were still in motion,
whereby he was so severely bruised that he died about one
o'clock P.M. He was a sober, industrious man, and has left a
widow and small family.—About two o'clock on the same
day, a boy named Morrison, belonging to Irvine, had, with-
out the knowledge of the servants of the company, and con-
trary to their rules, got upon a lug4age truck, from whence
he was removed by oue of the porters; but having again
climbed up unperceived by the servants, who were pushing
forward the truck with their heads down at the time, fell
between the trucks, and was killed on the spot.—Ayr
