Local Matters.

AN OMNIBUS LoAD!-When the steamboat Tho
mas Collyer arrived atthe Washington wharf, from
Alexandria, at about seven O'Clock on Saturday
evening, the passengers hurried into the omnibus
in waiting, and soon the vehicle full as it
could possibly be- II was packed The driver,
however, having good opinion Of the power of his
horses, and the strength of the omnibus, permitted
six ten persons to mount the roof of it, with their
baggage! He then whipped the horses-two of
them-that they might hurry The inside pas
-engers, being aware OF the danger 20 which they
exposed by the roof bending downwards and
cracking, pulled the strap, again and again, as a
warning to stop; but this was unheeded. The dri-
continued towhip his horses, and stumble ahead
AT last two of the wheels Of the omnibus slid into
deep hole and the sudden jar caused of the out
sders to tumble down. Awaiting themselves of the
stand STILL half of the interior passengers got
out, and those above gotofI; and with half the mum
Der with which he startcd-and this was enough
the Jehu drove into the city.
