THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the ten year,
WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made is silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " AlSata Plate," " Berlin Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at best bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

Is throng'd in the warehouse- is throng'd on the stair!,
The show-rooms and gallery likewise present
A proof how the mind of the public is bent.
Such excitement has never prevailed in the East,
Or not since the tunnel was opened, at least.
Let the thousands that crowd to behold what is done
By the dauntless projectors—E. MOSES and SON;
Remember this fact, that however they flock,
They can all be supplied from the present spring stock.
Were treble the number to visit the Mart,
E• Let the

And behold the grand market, or lay out a sum.

IN DORSETSHIRE,

PRICE SD.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by Mr.
BENCRAFT, the Patentee, to OFFER FOR SALE, with-
out reserve, at the Auction ➢fart, on THURSDAY, at Twelve.
An INVALUABLE INVENTION, and ens that, as soon as it be•
tomes generally known, presents a certain fortune. This invaluable
PATENT is introduced to public competition because Mr. Bencraft,
the sole inventor, is desirous now to retire from the trouble that is
necessarily attendant on supplying the present great demmid fer
home and foreign orders. It is so mixed up with corchrt and safety,
that every man devoted to horse exercise will feel that he owes a
debt of gratitude to the Inventor, so great as to be almost beyond
praise. It is called

BENCRAFT'S PATENT SADDLE.
Its properties and advantages are so apparent, yet so numerous,
that a very few will be noticed here, yielding, it is believed,-every
possible information the most sceptical can desire. A complete pro-
tection is secured to the spine by means or arched springs, which
transfer the rider's weight to the ribs of the horse, the seat of his
greatest power, enabling the horse to carry his burden with greater
facility and increased speed. A single examination of the, horse's
back after hard riding will confirm these useful facts. The rough
paces of some horses is effectually prevented or neutralised by the
intermediate action of the spring.
The adaptation of the springs will not in the least degree interfere
with the shape or seat of the saddle. Mr. Tilbury, of the New road,
will show the saddle, and explain the principle, adding to this short
stateraent one hundred important facts by way of illustration, and
so convincing that he must be a bold man who would gainsay one of
its advantages. Many of the nobility, especially those connected
with the turf, may he referred to, whose testimonials win very far
exceed the moderated statemert in this announcement."
The following extract, we quote from the " Veterinarian," for
February, 1845 :

"We have no hesitation whatever, in saying, that persons who
complain of the hardness or want of elasticity or our common sad-
dles, will find in Mr. Ilene, aft's a springy and comfortable seat.
Neither the old gentleman nor the Invalid horseman will any more
have occasion to resort to stuffed pads or quilted seats for ease and
comfcrt ; they will both find all they desire astride the spring seated
saddle, and they will probably find the difference between it and
the common saddle the greater the more they have to complain of
the rough bone-setting motion of their hackneys. In conclusion, we
imagine we shall be doing the horseman disposed to, or the subject of
rupture, an especial service by recommending to his notice one of
Mr. Bencraft's patent saddles."
Particulars, fully describing its principal advantages, and intro-
ducing such pleasing facts as will or ought to incline those who desire
to get rich at a railway pace to endeavour to possess it, may he had
at Mr. Tilbury's, New-road ; the Auction Mart ; and in Covent-
garden.

Extract from the " Sporting Itevlow," for April, 1644.
" Has anybody got a great raw-boned horse, that he never mounts
without a dread of his loosening his teeth, or an inward consciousness
that the moment he puts him into a trot, the labour of the last half-
hour spent on his toilet will be completely nullified ? Is there any man
with such a horse ? Then send him, lend him, give him to us ; we
have a saddle, and all we want now is a horse to put it on.
" Why, sir, I have just the sort of horse you describe, which I
should be disposed to part with, though I think he would hardly suit
you ; for, between ourselves, he'd shake every idea out of your head,
and every bone out of-your body, otherwise—

London and York Shareholders' Committee-Roma,
4, list-laue, Landau, 111,7 7? 110!

"Oh ! my dear fellow, leave that to us. We'll undertake to ride
Shake-my-rags' to-morrow morning, with only a plain snaffle in his
mouth, and our new saddle on his back, to Windsor ; dispatch a beef-
steak with ' mine host of the Garter,' and be in town again by six
P.M., without fatigue, stiffness, or soreness.
"Has anybody got a fiery, long-striding, raking little devil of a
pony, that it's quite a pleasure to see rattling along, but an absolute
torture to be upon ? If any unfortunate man has such a blessing,
and has already worn out his patience in endeavouring to cope with
it, let him start with all speed for our office, and we'll not only show

him a saddle, but give hit; all the necessary information as to where
he may procure one like it ; and, if he don't like it—pony and saddle,
the first time he tries 'em together, he mast be a fellow there 'is' no
pleasing.

" Nimrod, in his celebrated Q. R.' Turf article, says—' Go to
Newmarket for a seat ,' but we say—' Go to Mr. Bencraft for a seat
and a saddle too—a saddle that you can't help feeling at home in—a
saddle built on no selfish one-sided principle, but that benefits your
horse equally with yourself— nay, a saddle that has power sufficient
of Itself to carry you cleverly over a four-foot wall, when all the
jump is taken ont of Veteran, and all the jumping powder worked out
of his master.

" But a truce to joking, in which strain we fear that we may have
already gone too far. A trial is all Mr. Bencraft desires; and, from
experience, he has good reason for thinking that the first will not be
the only saddle of his pattern introduced in an establishment. Of
us, however, he needs but little assistance, while he possesses the un-
qualified and strongest testimonials of approval from many of the
highest, eldest, and best sportsmen—amongst others, the late Lord
Lynedoch, Lord Fortescue, Lord William Lennox, Mr. Spooner, of
the Royal Veterinary College, and Mr. Davis, huntsman to her
Majesty's stag hounds. Nimrod we ourselves heard speak frequently
in favour of it."
The following are a sample only of a host of testimonials, enough
to fill a volume:—

From the
no Right Hon. Earl Fortescue.
My dear Sir, —T cant refuse m yself the satisfaction of telling
you how much I am pleased with your patent saddle, which I used
for the first time a few days ago. From the principle on which it is
constructed, I never doubted its efficacy for the relief and protection
of the horse's back ; but I was not prepared for the great increase
of comfort which the elasticity of the seat gives to the rider, and
which must he particularly felt in a day's hunting, or a long journey
on the road. I am, dear Sir, faithfully yours, FORTESCUE,

back irrt as what I generally use ; but that ob!cction has nothing to
do with the merit of your invention, which I very much approve of,
and shall not fail to continue to point out to my friends. In the event
of a long journey or a hard day's work, it must obviously be Of essen-
tial advantage to both horse and rider, I remain, dear Sir, very truly

Dear Sir,—l have now great pleasureary in stating that four mont43 hs'
daily use of the patent saddle, on *various horses, has fully convinced
me that it is admirably adapted to effect all the purposes set forth in
your circular. I may further add that, if any individual who has
tried your saddle should still he sceptical as to the benefit afforded
to the rider, I nevertheless think that the easily demonstrative fact
of the protection imparted by it to the horse's spine is in itself a
snflicient recommendation for its general adoption.—l am, dear Sir,
very truly yours, CHARLES SPOONER.

to the sporting world in general, particularly those who have long

comfort over 'the common saddle is obvious ; the seat of the former
being formed of steel, retains Its elasticity, whereas the common

pleasant to sit upon.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

off or turning grey ; restores grey hair to its original colour ; frees it
from scurf and dandruff, and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossy
—facts abundantly proved by innumerable testimonials, which are
open for inspection at the proprietors. As a mild stimulative, cor-
rective, and preservative agent, ROWLAND'S MAC..A.SSAR OIL
has the exclusive patronage of the several Sovereigns and Courts of
Europe, and with rank, fashion, and discernment, supersedes all
Preparations of professed similar import. A small pamphlet accom-
panies each bottle of Rowland's Macassar Oil, wherein important
hints and advice will Ix found on the culture of the hair of infancy,
and on its preaervaticn and beauty through the several stages of
human life.

CAUTlON.—Unprincipled shopkeepers, for the sake of gaining a
trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of
"Macassar Oil." It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that
the words HOWL &ND'S MACASSAR OIL, are in two lines
on the wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of
the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters. --
