LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY.—This com-
pany, by way of introducing the French omnibus " cor-
respondence " system to the inhabitants of this metropo-
lis, commenced it on Monday morning last upon their
Barnet line. The Royal Mail omnibuses (fornserly the
property of Mr. M.`Namara) ply between the Post-office
and Barnet four times a-day, via Aldersgate-street,
John•etreet-road, Islington, Highbury, Holloway, High-
gate, Fincbley, and Whetstone. Hitherto passengers
have been carried by them on the direct line only, at
ls. 6d. for inside and is. for outside places, and any per-
son desiring to go to any other part of town than- that
in the immediate route of the Barnet omnibus has bad
either to walk or take another vehicle and pay a further
fare. By the new arrangement the ls. 6d. and ls.
includes the right of conveyance to Chelsea, Picca-
dilly, Westminster, Strand, any part of the New-road,
or City-road, London-bridge, or Fenchurch-street, the
only stipulation being that the passenger asks for a
"correspondence ticket" when be pays the Barnet con-
ductor his fare. The changing stations from the Barnet
omnibus to those for Strand, Westminster, City-road,
Loudon-bridge, and Fenchurch-street, are at the com-
pany's (late Wilson's) yard at Highbury ; and for Re-
gent-street, Piccadilly, Chelsea, or New-road at the
Angel, Islington. The system of tickets adopted is
similar to that used on railways. We ander:tend that it
is the intention of the company to test the system on
this line of road for a short time, with a view to its in-
troduction at an early date in connection with the Ed-
monton, Woodford, and other suburban districts.
THE NEW IRON AND GLASS MUSEUM AT BROMPTON.
—This mu-eum is 266 feet long, 126 feet wide, and is in
three equal spans, covered by three elliptical roofs, all at
the same height from the ground, like three huge boilers
placed side by side. The shell is formed of flat iron
uprights, filled in with boarding. Its ugliness is unmiti-
gated ; never was a beautiful sward, where the dasies
blossom and trees and shrubs put forth their leaves and
branches and flowers in forme of beauty unapproachable
by man, so vilely disfigured. We know nothing with
which to compare it. No squatter in the back-woods,
no New Zealand savage, would erect a structure so
utterly and indefensibly ugly. If the Marlborough-
house authorities retain their Chamber of Horrors—
their examples cif " what to avoid," when they get into
their new quarters—Mr. Cole's first act must be to have a
model ma de of this museum itseif.—The Builder.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—On Thursday last, as the sex-
ton of Worksop k 'hurch e as digging a grave near to the
porch, he found, about two feet from the surface, a
human skull, having an arrow-bead, very much cor-
reeled, 2i inches in length, inserted on the right side.
It appears to have penetrated the skull full two inches,
the socket of the arrow, about three-quarters of an inch
long, alone protruding from the exterior. On exposure
to the air a greater portion of this fragment of mortality
dissolved and mingled with its kindred c:ay ; still, how-
ever, sufficient remains to render it an object of inte-
rest to the curious aed contemplative mind. How long
this seat of thought—this human crown of one of our
-
forefathers, has been removed from time's mighty con
flicts, and from what cause it was laid low' cannot be
ascertained ; it is probable centuries have elapsed since
that period. The skull may be seen on application to the
wton.—.Dontoster Chronicle.
