Stormy weather aud rough sea are
necessary to produce general sea
sickness among the passengers. We
expect to be 10 London four days.
All of the great aud small hotels
rent apartments, and guests may
take their meals outside. Excellent
rooms may be bad at the great Char
ing Cross hotel or at the Bedford
aud at many other sGch hotels at
from sixty cents day up TO four
dollars, according to the location
and elegance OF the room All are
very comfortable. At the thousands
of restaurants one can get good
meal at New York rates. He may
pay shilling" twenty five cents
or he may pay sovereign, near
w five dollars) at fashionable "a

on whether Morgantown preacher
or a wealthy American dude holds
the purse. Indeed at the elegant
Bedford one may have the ''Inclu-

ing, meals, attendance and room at
eight shillines day, about two dol
lars OF our money. Or he may pay
eight dollars day for a suite Of

persons is but shilling, inclusive,

French capital that afternoon. The
distance is 245 miles including the
