our slumbers, We shudder Us We encounter the chill
breeze which greets us on pushing from the crowd
ed deck into the darkness Of the shore, as we land
At Newport. Here we become the prey of unseen
monsters, who hallooing and vociferating as they
seize their victims by the arm, the cloak, or even
the carpet bag they hold, whilst the distracted
traveller founders about stones and into holes,
clutchng for support at objects darker than the
rest which seem near him, and which, to his con-
sternation, he finds out to be either carriage wheel
or q horses head. However, by some process, half
Instinct, half compulsion, the traveller finds him
self packed and shut up in vehicle, which, from
the little room he finds to lodge his person, he sup
poses to contain more human beings than ever were
enclosed in so small space before. Occasional
heavngs from the heavy trunks put on behind,
most threatening bumps from those put on to the
roof, gradually shake him into something like
seat and off they start for where! Oh where!

here there watchers for, as few servants do
during the day, the duties of double their number,
they take the liberty of sleeping in the same pro-
portion, and are as hard to wake as Duncan's
grooms. On, on, still on, occasionally fierce en-
counter of carriages, all besieging tho same door,
or occasional warning Of the frutessness of our
attempts, from some unfortunate party wandering
through the deserted streets Of an unknown town,
on the same errand as ourselves, varies the scene.
At length, in desperation, after long parley
with a group Of carriages and pedestrians at
forlorn hope of boarding house, the desperate
resolution is taken to drive to the Ocean
House, whose gigantic capabilities it seems
impossible to exhaust, and the resolution is
taken there to force entrance vi ct aniiS.
This time, when the carriages stop, there
is a general eutpouring, and rush bodily to the
door of the besieged castle. we'll hammered,
polite, and wide awake clerk briskly opens the
door, hopes rise, we begin to breathe freely, but
though the voice is courtesy ITSELF still the words,
the fatal words, are ever the same-"Gentlemen,
am sorry, there is no room" But tits in
vain this time-we are not to be driven off Some
who know the way, make sudden rush down the
broad corridor, turn the handle Of a well known
door, and we soon all in the magnificent saloon
of the Ocean Hotel. The attentive clerk hurries
