Southampton, and Lymington, tow
horse-boats across.

During summer, Steamers frequently make trips round the island, usually
in about seven hours.

_Regular Sailing Passage-boats._

FROM COWES to NEWPORT, daily: the hours depending upon the state of the
tide.

From WOOTTON to PORTSMOUTH at 9 and 4 (3 or earlier in winter), daily:
and from Portsmouth at 9 and 2-1/2.

From BEMBRIDGE to Portsmouth and back, every other day, or oftener, in
summer.

To POOLE the sailing-hoys run twice a-week, calling off Cowes and
Yarmouth.

Land-Conveyances.

The STAGE-COACHES.--The following are the summer arrangements for
1849:--

From Newport to Ryde, at 8, 12-1/2, 2-3/4, and 5-1/4.
From Ryde at 9-1/4, 11, 3-1/2, and 6-1/2.

From Newport to West Cowes at 8, 9-1/2, 2-1/2, and 5-1/2.
Cowes to Newport at 10, 12, 3-1/2, and 6-1/2.

West Cowes to Ventnor (thro' Newport, Blackgang, and Niton,) at 10,
returning at 3.
Ventnor to East Cowes (through Godshill and Newport,) at 8-1/2,
returning at 3.

From Ryde to Ventnor at 9-1/2, 11, and 3.
Ventnor to Ryde at 8-1/2, 1-3/4, and 3. Passing through Brading,
Sandown, and Shanklin.

Most of the coaches omit travelling on Sundays.

It will be seen that by these conveyances, visitors arriving at Cowes or
Ryde in the morning may make the tour of one-half the island the same
day. If from Ryde in the morning, they would be returned to Cowes in
time for the last packet across, and the same from the latter to the
former place.

But here we must caution our friends, as we did respecting the
steam-packets, that frequent alterations take place in the hours of
starting, perhaps in consequence of some change made by the
vessels, but as often induced by the caprice of the rival
speculators; some of them continuing throughout the year, and
others running only during the summer.

The CARRIERS.--These of late have so increased, that there is scarcely a
village without one or more to Newport or Ryde,--between the latter
places there are three every day; between Cowes, Newport, and Ventnor,
several carts and vans daily; and from the less populous parishes, one
every other day.
