An OMNIBUS LIxE-Mr. C. p. Ward has taken
hold Of the project which We suggested some two or
thee years ago, as likely to prove not only a public
accommodation, but a profitable business speculation
the establishment Of n line of omnibusses, TO run
mp the valley and out to waikiki. He has imported
n very fine omnibus by the Murray, and will soon
add a second The omnibus will commence running
on Monday next, starting ut the corner of King and
Fort streets. The time table will be found in our
advertising columns today. Heretofore, the great
est expense attending the sending of children to
Punahou College, has been the cost of keeping the
horses, which, to those living in town, is not less
than two to three dollars per week. The omnibus
will run to Punahou every morning, starting from
the upper bridge about quarter past eight, and will
go out again every afternoon, so as to leave Punahou
at 8 o'clock. Communication tickets will be furnished,
so that the expense to parents will be comparatively
small. Another omnibus will soon run to Waikiki
every day Mt stated hours, which will be a conve-
nience to those living there or on the road thither.
If a public house of some kind could be provided
there, where parties could go and battle in the sea
every day, it would be n still further attraction and
conduce to health. This is n new project, and Mr..
10y ~ 10y ~hA6S
the public convenience calls for.
PERsoSAL-Among the passengers by the Idaho
were GES. MORGAN l.. SMITH, U. s. Consul Mt this
port, who is accompanied with his family. Gen. s.
arrived here just one year ago, and as Consul and
Charge has given much satisfaction both to foreign
residents and the Government. He has been called
home by urgent private business, and expects to be
absent about four months. During his absence, Col.
z. S. Spalding, late Of Tennessee, has been entrusted
with the affairs of the legation and consulate.
Mrs. Gen McCooK also took passage in the same
vessel for San Francisco, where she expects to meet
the General on his return from Washington. They
will probably return to Honolulu in the steamer leav-
ing in May. -
WARREN VERSUS MoxrooNEnY.-The Gazette of
Wednesday contains n lengthy communication from
Mr.. ]. Montgomery, in answer to the card from Mrs.
Warren issued in our last paper, in which he replies
satisfactorily to u part of her complaints, and declares
that the funds were collected solely to send them out
the country. His statement is backed up with n
card from several of the subscribers to the fund,
to the correctness of Mr.. Montgomery's
transactions in the matter. The public is left to
infer that the balance of Mrs. warren's charges is
correct. AS the certificate referred to embodies the
of Mr.. Montgomery's reply, we insert it:
U HoSoLuLr, Feb. 2ith, 1865.
