stricts them to charge of 61 • mile, or 2s. au hour,
one feels that they are alma' licensed bigger.. If it
be the duty that create' this condition of things,
surely it might to he removed. In this city of
" magnifioent distances" cabs are arimething more
than • mere luxury. But, as I understand it, Mr.
Glaytone proposes to relieve omnibuses only. Now,
them" vehicles charge farts 111 low already as one can
warn coinsure practicable, and I aspect we shall get
shout as moth benefit from the reduction of the duty
as from the abolition of the toll-gates. Moreover,
innoihuses are supposed to pay—at all events, they
see conducted" on etrictly mercantile principles,
and nobody thinks of giving the conductor an extra
penny. I think, therefore, that cabe require relief
more than omnibuses

—Speaking of the abolition of tolls reminds me that,
for r.me months after the toll gates were removed
in oar suburbs, the parish authorities allo•ed the
Macadam roads to "go anyhow." They intended, I
believe, to pave them; but have now altered their
minds, and are every day laying what omnibus
drivers call "beautiful carpet*" of broken granite
along whole stretches of roed,qeite from aids tared.,
so that it is in vain for even the most cautious driver
to attempt to " crawl along the curbstone slowly by,"
without tezing all the energies of his cattle. Where.
aver it is practicable, omnibuses diverge from their
note when they encounter one of these carpets.
In former days the roads need to be mended patch
by patch gradually, but the present system deserves
the attention of the smiety for the prevention of
cruelty to animals. Why can't we have steam rollers
as in Paris to crush in our granite,which would save
, our horeetienb, and prevent the slumbers of rate
payers from being broken by an sternal crunch
