NOTES ABOUT TOWN.

We thought the bridge on Broadway and Fulton
street was ito be removed in thirty days" accord
ing to the decision of one OF courts made some
months since. 1t continues, however, in its old
place, "with no one to make 1t afraid,n conve-
nience or nuisance-whichf
"Supernuous lags the veteran on the stage" may
with certain degree Of justice be applied to the
omnibus, which still "hangs upon the skirts OF cvil
zaton," discommOding the town. We are daily
made to wonder, with rails placed on almost every
street, Of what use this numbering old vehicle is to
the public or to their proprieors. Do they really
make moneyS-or are they simply kept on ''gentle
run" to satisfy certain conservative old gentlemen
and women that there is something Of the dead and
gone past yet for them9
We have not had policeman slaughtered in the
past forty yeight hours. Is not this somewhat extra
ordinaryY Come, hurry, Messeurs. The evening
journals are dropping for want Of a sensation.
The tires OF our heavy drays and other vehicles are
not wide enough. Were they made three and
four inches, instead Of two and one and half
inches in wi''h, as many Of them are now, the
streets would last much longer and 80 would the
wheels. Narrow tired wheels on heavily ladened
vehicles, such as omnbuses, &C., cut directly into
the pavements and soon grind them into ruts, sinks
and gulies. We are in favor OF wide tired wheels
and durable streets. The former will preserve the
latter,
