bad paid. The driver repeated few knocks on the
roof, and swore and cursed. Nobody coming forward
to pay he Dsolenty informed his passengers, ten in
number Of whom two were ladies, that he wouldn't

and demonstrated but to purpose. At length he re-
funded the fare of each who left in turn, until he came
TO the last who be was certain must be the black sheep
The last gentleman said he had paid too, but the

THY STREET CLEAsISG.-Specal efforts are to be
made Mr.. Downing says, to have the streets cleaned
for the convenience and comfort Of the professions in
honor of St. Patrick which shortly to out to
celebrate their usual anniversary So i. seems that we
are to have clean streets only when there is military
parade or procession in honor Of some loDgdeparted
saint. Why not get up daily procession Itwould
cost Jess than the ruin wrought health ADD property
by the present state Of things. On Wednesday night,
the streets reported cleaned were Greenwich up TO
Duane, Vesey between Greenwich ard West, those
around Washington Market part of William, BurliDg
slip Front street, and Broad street. Broadway was
swept last night Mr.. Downing proposes that the
Street Inspectors Of the different Wards shall hold
weekly meetings at the Office of the Sanitary Bureau
corner of Grand and Essex Streets for the purpose Of
comforting together about street cleaning.
A METALLIC LFE-BoAT.-Ingersoll, the boat
maker has applied the principle of having numerous
email air compartments in water craft to the metallic
life-boat. The ordinary lifeboat of Francis & Co.
contains but two large air comparments-one at each
end. In of violent collision with either end that
end will Gil and sink, while the other rises up out of
the water. The small air chambers Of Mr. Ingersols
boat are 20 numerous that whatever be tie force Of
the collsion only small portion Of air escape,
and the danger of losing baoyancy sinking with
number of shipwrecked people is consequently claimed
to be much lees. Another advantage claimed for the
new boat lie the rapidty with which it frees itself of
water by means Of an India rubber valve in the bot
tom. In all other respects it the the ordinary
| hfe.boat.
DIsTILLATloS or FRESH FROM SALT WATER
On Wednesday a number of gentlemen visited Gray's
Bathing House. at the foot of Fulton street. Brooklyn,
for the purpose Of inspecting "Normandy's Patent
Marine Aerated Fresh Water Apparatus" already
largely in use in England and on the Continent, and
now being first introduced 10 the American public.
This machine, invented by DR.. Normandy an English
man, distills from sslt water, or from impure AMI
muddy water, pure and sparkling asrated beverage
TIE very product Of the buboling meadow springs
TEE agency used is steam, which can be generated in
boiler adapted for the purpose or supplied from the
regular boilers of a steamship. The apparatus, con-
sstng of two compact cylinders occupies very little
room, and is easily arranged in any vessel. Other
machines have been constructed heretofore for the
the end, but the following advantages claimed
for the under consideration:
l. That with sy amount Of fuel Il produces quantity Of

the expense of the machine in a single voyage. In
England DIR. Normandys invention has been Thoroughly
experimental upon, and adopted not only by the
Oriental Royal Mail" North of Europe. " and
other prominent navigation companies, but by the
Government, WHO intend putting il in use on every
vessel in the Navy. 1t Is already applied TO the
steamers belonging TO the China squadron, to the
Military Hospitals at Suez and many army stations
where times OF drOuth are frequent.
The machines are made Of three or more sizes cost
