CHEAP TRAVELLING.—The competition among the steamboats on Lake Champlain has been so great recently, that the owners not only carry passengers for nothing, and board them, but pay their bills at the hotels. One of the agents, a few days since, paid the hotel bills of several gentlemen, amounting in all to $112, and then carried them free. This conduct being thought rather too generous, however, a subscription was put forward, which amounted to $160, but without any influence on the part of the owners or agent.
