Cheap Travelling.

Ar markable instance OF tho extent
TO which competition may be carried Is
foupd in the wonderfully reduced rates
of translantic passage at the present
time. A steernge passage TO EUROPE
may now be obtained as low as Slo,
while the average prices are from $40 10
SO. During the past summer, many
Irish and English emigrants have gone
back TO their native land to visit friends
and relatives, and they are now begin
ming to return-70O having arrived at
Castle Garden one Jay last month
The cheapness of the fare renders the
European trip really little more than
pleasure excursion. Notwithstanding
the lowness of the price, too, ana that
the ssenger is provided Tor tweiVe OF
fourteen days with food and drink, yet
the fare is, upon the whole, good, pien-
tifnl and wholesome. The food consists
Of boiled beef and pork, salt fish, hot
bread, crackers rice and barley SOUP
potatoes, hard ships biscuit, porridge,
moasses and a poor grade OF coilee'
The passengers have to provide tneir
own rlatts and table cutlery, Ihey
also nroyide their own beds and bian'
kcts. A exit" consists OF u set OF I'm
dishes. and straw bed can be bought
nf venders on the wharves for from
% 10 TO S3. These, especially the beds,
!, are usually thrown away at the end OF
! the ysyagc. Dining tables are provided
6 in the steerage, but most immigrants
nrefcr to have the food brought to their
:, berths by the ships steward, as tney
= nsuolly have pickles, and other relishes
y of their own, to add to their meals;
