They have a steam boat plying between
Buffalo and Chicago-a distance of IO47
miles-which performs the trips in sixty
hours. So says the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser. At that rate she would cross
the Atlantic in a week. She is called the
Illinois; and if what the Commercial says
of her is true, there is no moving thing in
this world that can beat her.

Real Tragedy.-Most of our citizens
who have visited the theatre in this city,
will recollect young man by the name of
Lowe, who played at the the Pavilion thea
tire, and subsequently at the National. He
possessed considerable talent for low come
dy and generally personated yankee charac-
ters when they within his reach. A friend
who was at Louisville on Friday evening,
has given US the following particulars of
bis "closing scene."
On the evening in question, he represent
ed principal character in the drama Of "The
French Spy" During the first act he was
required to discharge pistol at another
character, and retreat in hastes--The poor
fellow fred his pistol, and drew a bayonet
at the moment he commenced a retreat,
looking at the person whom he fired. With
his countenance turned TO the rear, he run
against one of the scenes, the bayonet was
forced into his body, he staggered from the
stage, and expired within twenty minutes.
The scene is described as one of the most
painful which could possibly be Witnessed.
The unfortunate man, with the dress, dis
guise and ludicrously painted face of low
comedy, in the agonies Of death, the fright
ful group gathered around him, and the
play still proceeding upon the stage, formed
one Of the most singular spectacles which
pen ever attempted to describe.

Description of he road from Talmoltt
10 London From The time that we left
Falmouth ill we arrived in London, we
did not see span of earth uninhabiied.
In all places along the roads and streets
we observed men and women walking
arm in arm; also coaches and carriagcs,in
which there were ladies like the hours,
running in every direction; every moment
increased our surprise rs we advanced. :.
Even the peasants thai. dwell IN villages,
have lofty and beautiful houses; outside o!
every house there are beautiful gardens,
adorned with very fine flowers, where
ladies splcndidIy dressed take their walks.
All the time OF our travels ia this country,
our eyes did not see single hand.breadlh
&C earth, but all covered With delightful
green, roses and all kinds of flowers guard
ed by the. .Nightiugales' singing. Such
air and water are scarcely in the world,
indeed what there is TO be seen is enough
10 take away the senses. 1t is The first
story of paradise, the males'ic moon, the
nightingaIes on the trees standing with
pride, the roses resemble the cheeks Of the
inhabitants. AT length, all this night we
went on, passing by gardens, edi6ces, and
lights, there was no darkness at all. In
all the roads there are lanterns lighted,
also the houses give out their lights from
the windows, in short, otir travelling in
midnight was not less pleasant than that
