evening or 6 47 morn. Fare, £2 7s. 10d.
THE LUGGAGE by this Route is always examined

SEA PASSAGE.-Owing to the smallness and swiftness of the Steamers, passengers are liable to be wetted by the spray or waves, and should therefore provide themselves with a change of raiment in a small hand-bag, to avoid continuing the journey in wet clothes.

BE

RUSSELS now being the centre whence the great lines of Railway communicate with the principal towns of the north and south of Germany, Switzerland, and France, it has become a favourite place of resort with English travellers en route to or from England. Express Trains leave Brussels at 9 43 a.m. and 10 35 p.m., via Louvain, or 12 30 noon by Namur and the picturesque route of the Meuse, to Cologne, in six hours, in correspondence with trains thence to Bremen, Berlin, Dresden, Frankfort, Vienna, and all the Baths of Germany.

An Express Train also leaves Brussels at 6 30 a.m. and 12 30 noon by the new route through the Ardennes for Treves and the Moselle to Coblentz or direct to Strasburg and Bâle. In addition to these advantages which Brussels affords of being the high road to the above places, it is one of the most beautiful and healthy of cities in Europe, which no one should pass by without visiting, if they can possibly spare the time.
