Federal Hill, with the parade of citizen soldier

eventual period still lived in memory of those

were alive with people during the day--which
dawncd, continued, and closed, with mild
breeze, clear sky, and genial sun; and matron,
maid, sire and son. all seemed cheerful, as they
threaded their way along the thronged and bu'
sy thorougha,es of our city.

The Omnibus Case. We gave Yesterday sub
stantally the facts in reference to the collision
between the two.Omnibusscs, the previous even
ing, and we are pleased to learn that the driver
of the "Lady Jane" has been arrested and re-
leased under security in the sum Of $500, to
answer at Court, upon Il charge Of having cn
dangercd the lives otsundry persons, by running
the Omnibus, OF which ne had charge, in con-
tact with the Omnibus LADY Madison. j.
Should the evidence in ibis case, (and MANY
witnesses have been summoned prove wi!tul-4
ness, or even carelessness, the person guilty of
the charge should lie dealt with in as severe Il
penalty as would attach to the captains OF
steamboats,, or other vessels, under similar cir
cumstances: life, limb and property, are haz-
arded in the one case as in the other, and the
offence is equally as great, though the law may
not place them on a like ground in the degree
OF punishment. We regret that the circum-
stance should have happened and hope that
the pIoprGtors Of the various Omnibus lines,
looking to their own interest, will sec that their
drivers be very trustworthy, as we have no
doubt many Of them are. Public safety and
convenience demand it.
