SHILLJBEERS VIS-A-VIS ONYIBUS.

Mr. Shillibrer, the patriarch of the London
°melbas world, haa just completed • new variety of that
mink° cosiveyance, which be cello the Vied-lfle, end for
which he has taken out • patent. The now omnibus differ;
little in satesal &meantime frees the " Saloon, which it
approaches in aim, bat • pent many rioveltiee have hem
introduced in the interior annapeaserits. A dear wide
passage runs np the centre, &eked as each site to tell-way
up by two maipartnients, be each of which four persona can
ad con.fortably face to face, and get in and out without
the slightest difficulty. A similar space above the centre
will accommodate in equal comfort seven persons sitting
in the ordinary way. The principal novelty a the
vane •ellicts lies is tioi io which the mats
we the top are arranged. Semis the central passage
running up from the door there is • cross section at
the centre, and o• each side of this is a sort of staircase, by
which the outside seats are ressbed without the nomasity of
an exterior climbing. Mr. Skillibeer thinks that this alter-
ation will make the seats on the roof accessible to ladies,
both in 6111) sad wet weather, as they are to he provided
with • light moveable covering ; and certainly many of the
mort important objections to inttoide sesta for females are
removed by the new cootrimrice. We fear, however, that
some further alteratioa is the mode of ascent will still be
necessary to induce the ladies to parcels* the roof very ex-
tensively. There is • wide seat in front, as in
the ordinary " bus," in the ascent to which the
well known dirlicultiee remain pretty much as natal
The new " bus" is certainly very light, and by no means
inelegant in proportions, sad it hie the additional recent.
tneWatim that in wet weather it will provide carer for one
half • greater number of passengers than the ordinary
vehicles. It is speedily about to Lo tried "n the Brixton-
rood, where it. capabilities will be fully tested, sod if it
should meat with the public approval, which we think it
deserves, as it is in ninny respects a grew: improvement on
existing omnibuses, a coinputy will be formed to run *hai-
ler carnage, all over London.
