OMNIBUS FARES.—The proprietors of these convey
ances have long had it in contemplation to adopt some
other mode of payment than the present. One plan now
proposed is to have a box affixed outside the door, and
into which box every passenger will be requested to pre-
pay his fare before getting into or upon the omnibus.
Another plan is to have tickets, to be purchased of. the
conductor or at the offices of the proprietor (available
for any omnibus belonging to such proprietors), with di-
rections printed on each ticket, so that the holder may
know the distance he may ride. If the latter plan be
adopted, it is proposed to issue daily, weekly, and
monthly tickets ; and, according to the number pur-
chased, to give the purchaser an extra number.
THE GLASGOW ORGAN.—Messrs.
.Gray and Davison,
the celebrated organ-builders, have just constructed a
noble instrument for the City Hall, Glasgow. It con-
tains 55 stops and upwards of 3,000 pipes, and is stated
to be, by many degrees, the most complete organ yet
erected in Scotland.
BURIALS IN LONDON.—Her Majesty, by various
orders in Council, has directed that burials shall cease
in a large number of the vaults and burial grounds of the
metropolis, In some cases the order is to take effect
on Monday next ; and in others there is an extension
of time for the burials to be continued, but by this
time next year, all those places which are enumerated in
the orders will be closed. We have reason to expect
that in a short time, under further orders, burials in
towns will be utterly abolished. It must be very grati-
fying to Mr. G. A. Walker, the well-known sanitary
reformer, to find that his labours in this cause have been
successful so far ; but we hope that his views will be
thoroughly adopted so as to give the country towns the
benefit of the reform.—Bedfurd Times.
CLOSE OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—On Wednesday
next the British Museum will be closed to the public for
the autumn vacation, It will re-open on Friday, the
9th of September,
