PORTS OF ARRIVAL AND HACKNEY CAR REGULATIONS

THE principal ports of arrival in Ireland are Dublin, Kingstown, Cork, Belfast, Waterford, Drogheda, Newry, Dundalk, Londonderry, and, during the summer months only, Donaghadee.

DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN.

The Chester and Holyhead Route to Kingstown is the favourite route selected by most tourists, owing to the magnificent steamers, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, which ply twice every day between Holyhead and Kingstown, performing the passage of 64 miles in three hours and a half, with almost unvarying regularity. On the landing pier at Kingstown, a train for Dublin, seven miles distant, is ready to convey the passengers in about fifteen minutes to Westland Row, where cabs and cars are in attendance. By this route Dublin can be reached in eleven hours from London, and eight hours from Manchester.

The next favourite route is by the Chester and Holyhead rail to the North Wall, Dublin. This route is much less expensive than that by Kingstown; and, as the steamers are also of a very superior class, the sea voyage is sometimes performed in four hours, and rarely exceeds five hours. Steamers leave Holyhead twice a day, at 1 A.M., and 4 P.M.

The third route to Dublin from England is from Liverpool; the passage averages ten hours, and is preferred by those who enjoy the long sea, and are not restricted to time. Several Steam Packet Companies compete for the traffic by this route, so that the facilities which it offers are very great.

Steamers also ply twice a week between London, Falmouth, Southampton, Plymouth, Bristol, and Dublin, and convey passengers at extremely moderate rates. Other steamers also ply between Whitehaven, calling, at the Isle of Man, and Dublin, and, during the tourist season, convey a considerable number of pleasure seekers from these places.

There is also a daily service, Sundays excepted, between Glasgow and Dublin, calling at Greenock; the steamers are large, powerful, and very comfortable. But persons not fond of the long sea prefer coming to Dublin by the Glasgow steamers to Belfast, thence by rail; the cost being about the same.

HACKNEY CAR REGULATIONS.

Having arrived in Dublin, it is necessary to be guarded against impositions on the part of car-drivers. The following regulations have been settled by the police authorities; and in case any driver should attempt to extort more than his legal fare, the traveller should call a policeman, who will speedily settle the dispute.

The driver of any hackney carriage, when hired, shall not permit any person to ride in, or upon, any part of said carriage, unless specially directed so to do by the person hiring the same.

The driver shall have a book containing the rates and fares, and shall, on demand, produce the same for the information of the person hiring, and point out the law or fare.

A small steamer meets the American mails at the mouth of the harbour, and brings the passengers and mails to Queenstown, where the train is in readiness to convey them, in about half an hour, to Cork. The Imperial Hotel omnibuses are always in attendance at the terminus of the Railway.

Besides the Transatlantic steamers, there is a regular service three times a week from London, Bristol, and Liverpool, to Cork, and when
