4,nA.ic DOWN OF THE ADELAIDE AUSTRALIAN
Adelaide Australian steamer put back to
▪ cuth leaky yesterday. She takes in water at the
to holes, and her rudd.er is defective. She is expected
fro e detained here several days. Letters have been received
ei.lll the Australia (Australian packet), dated Port Phillip,
,4.
5. She left the Cape on July 22, and arrived at
teretaide on Aug. 29. The crew took the gold fever, and
hevllsed to work, but eventually agreed to go round to Syd-
th",,,and be discharged there. Seamen want 801. each for
the "'Tag() home. Her crew and passengers were well, and

CURVILINEAR OMNIBUS. - Yesterday this im-
4.,,hrijb,se". Patent of the Messrs. Scott, was exhibited to a
klak—vr of gentlemen at the Carriage-bazaar, King-street,
eortvestreet, Portman-square. Its peculiarities, scarcely
aiero.eYed in its title, render this considerably more conve-
hili; and comfortable to the passengers than other omni-
!rltt.,:, In the first place the seats are separate, resembling
,th ~'"tirc, or more nearly the seats of a first-class carriage
beeo,74way train, the backs bulging outwards, and thus
ts to""'ng what the patentees call curvilinear. Then there
and each seat a bell, affording the means of instantaneous
nttit'B3' communication with the conductor. A sort of
1414 Platform runs up the whole length of the conveyance,
Nader this every passenger can place his feet in such a
N. 1111114 no in-comer, even if he make his way to the
teatilVald, can tread upon them ; and last, not least, the
f' 41,14(311 being arranged by means of an apparatus in the
11441".4ere is no liability to dissension as to which of t o
lOWA Ikea be opened.
