THE NEW PALACE STEAMERS .
( COMMUNICATED ) . REQUIRING a change of air We bad no hesitation in selecting the " Royal Sovereign " for a day's trip , and found that vessel commanded b y ( ja . pt . E . J . Holland . Due to leave Old Swan Pier , London Bridge , at 9 . 20 a . m . it was barely a minute past that time before we had the pleasure of hearing the signal to make a start . The cautious manner in which Capt .
Holland navigated the well known steamer was creditable alike to himself and to the New Palace Steamers Company , and induced full confidence in his seamanship ; further than this , he had a pleasant word for all he met , when released from the anxieties of command . He was ably seconded by Mr . J . Jones , first mate , who assumed command io the chief ' s brief absence from the bridge . Mr . John 1 £ . Tovell is an efficient chief of the Catering Department—so essential a feature if a pleasant day is to be experiencedin fact , it would be difficult to find anyone better qualified for the duties of
his position . The luncheon consisted of roast fowls and York ham , roast beef , roast lamb , calf ' s head and bacon , witn vegetables , sweets , cheese , & c , and was served in the usual bountiful manner we are accustomed to find on this Company ' s boats . The viands were also excellent , and all was provided at a reasonable price , this rendering all round praise possible , as well as fully deserved . The trip to Margate and back is one wo can fully recommend to our Brethren , who , should tney so desuo it , will soon discover more than one well known Mason among tho staff of the " Royal Sovereign . "
THE Uri'EB THAMES . —It has been decided to discontinue , on 16 th September , lor the present season , the guinea trips which have , during the summer months , been made daily from Paddington Station to Henley-on-Thames , and tnence by steam launch to Cliveden vVoods or Pangbourne .
