IMPROVEMENTS IN OMNlBUsEs.-ln
Sir Francis, Heads lite WORK on Paris,
quantity called "A Fag ot Of French
Sticks, we find among other things
description of the omnibuses Of that
great capital. We had thought, prior
TO pcrufing his volume, that the Phila
deIphia omnihuses had reached the
pinnacle ofperiection F.; but we are free
TO confess now that we are in error, and
that they might initiate their Partisan
rivals with advantage. A Paris omni-
bus, for instance. has brass rail under
the roof inside, and running the whole
length of the coach, by which passen-
gers may steady themselves, an improve
ment which every Icrson will appre-
ciate who has been ioIled against his
neighbors, or picthed into lady's lap
in his efforts to walk to the door. More
over, there is attached 10 each Partisan
omnibus n dial plate, on which the num-
ber OF passengers is recorcd 10y machine.
ry, IN manner quIte Ingenious, but
scarcely necessary 10 be detailed here
the result being that no driver can chea;
the propric or out OF any Of the fares.
But the greatest improvement remains
yet TO be told, and is the simplest Of all,
as is usually the case. When IA Parisian
omnibus is full, a signboard is hung out
10y the conductor, on which is written
complet," thus giving notice TO pedes-
trians not to stop the coach, and prevent
ing the overcrowdng Of the passcn-
gers. But this last is Il reform that we
never hope 10 see introduced into Ameri
can omnibuses, VIII ch have 1t loI the
law OF their existence never 10 be full,
though twice two score are packed with
in them.

Tue ARcTIc OFF NrwpoRT,-It will
be remembered that telegraphic des-
patch was published IN the New York
papers, dated Newport, January 90, 3
p. NJ :" announcing the appearance
cH that port ofa . large steamship,
with side wheels and three masts. appar-
emily one Of the Collins line, standing
westward, which is no doubt the Arctic
due at New York" Some surprise was
felt at the announcement, for men won
dered why Capt Luce had taken the
Arctic 30 close in upon tina, beach that
she was plainly in s'ght'' at Newport.
The following extract from the log OF
the Arctic, however, shows that she
was then sirty fire miles from that port,
and al the same time suggests the en-
PLANTATION of her being visible at New
port. 1t was apparently the effect Of
mirage.

Gt- Milton Hall Esquire is one OF
the delegates from this town to the loco

locofocos would not confer this honor up
on him; they knew his anxiety to make
a spread-eaa lie Of HIMSELF in the Con-

ference meeting ralk, - and on this ac-
count they probably gratified him. Or
else they remembered that in the midst
of their deliberations, last winter, the
gas-llghts went suddenly out, leaving
them in chaotic darkness; and fearing
repetition OF this calamity this winter
they wisely determined to have at least
one member whose gas can iIumine ev-
cn Egyptian darkness. Milton is unri-
va led in this respect. He will probab-
ly discharge his oralon about O'Clock;
should our citizens, about that time,
hear rumbling sound, like the shock
