A PATENT FOR ENGLAND AND IRELAND.

THE HORSEMAN'S DESIDERATUM, in the shape of a
SADDLE, meriting well the admiration and attention of all such

as move with the march of improvement.
111 It. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by Mr.
BENCRAFP, the ingenious and highly-gifted Patentee,
to OFFER FOR SALE, without reserve, at the Auction Mart, on
THURSDAY, July 4, at Twelve,
An INVALUABLE INVENTION, and one that, so soon as

it becomes generally known, presents a certain furtune. It is so
mixed up with comfort and safety, that every man devoted to
horse exercise will feel that he owes a debt of gratitude to the In-
vet.tor, so great at 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 txa noticed here, referring the anxious inquirer
tolthe particulars of sale, which are voluminous, and yield every
p,ssible information the most sceptical can desire. A complete
protection is secured to the spine by means of arched springs, which
trap, fer 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
fscibty and increased speed. A single examination of the horse's
back after hard riding wil confirm then useful facts. The rough
paces of some horses is effectually prevented or neuiraliscd by the
intermediate action °title springs
The adaptation of the springs will not in the least degree inter-
fere 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 statement one hundred important facts by way of illustration,
and so convincing that he must be a bold man who will gainsay -
mit of its advantages. Many of the 'neliiTitv_
netted with the turf, may be mimed to, whose testimonials will
very far exceed the moderated statement in this announcement.
Particulars will be ready twenty.one days prior to the sale, fully
. - , introducing-such pleasing
facts as will or ought to incline those who desire to get rich at a
railway pace to endeavour to possess it. Particulars at Mr. TiL
bury's ; the Auction Mart; and in Covent.garden.
The following extract we quote from the "Sporting Review"for
April ; it illustrates what Mr. Robins has so fceb'y represented of
the usefulness and value of the horseman's desideratum :

"Has anybody got a great raw-boned horse, that he never
mounts without a dread of Irosening 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 nulli-
fied ? 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 yourselves. he'd shake
every idea out of your head, and every bone out of your body;
otherwise"—
"Oh! my dear felle,w, leave that to us. We'll untertake to
ride, ' Shake.my.rags' to-morrow morning, with only a plain snaf.
fie in his mouth, and our new saddle on his back, to Windsor;
dis; atch 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•str ding, raking, little devil of
a pony, that it's quite a pleasure to see rattling along, but an abso.
lute 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 will
not only show. him a saddle, but give him all the necessary infor-
mation 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
must be a fellow that there is no pleasing." _

" Nimrod, in-his celel.rated "Q. R.'; Turf article, says, "Go to
Newmarket for a seat;" but we sir, "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 bene-
fits your horse equally with yourself—nay, a saddle that has power
sufficient of itself to carry you cleverly over a four foot wall, whin
all the jump is taken out of Veteran, and all the jumping powder
worked out of his u.aster.
" But a truce to joking, in which strain we fear that we have
already gone too far. A trial is all Mr. Bencraft desires; and,
from experience, he has good season for thinking that the first wilt
not be the only saddle of his pattern introduced in an establishment.
Of us, however, he needs but little assistance, while he possesses
the unqualified and strongest testimonials of approval from many of
the highest, oldest, and best sportsmen, amongst others the late
Lord Lynedoch, Lord Fortescue, Lord William Lennox, Mr.
Spooner, of the Royal Veterinary College, and Mr. Davis, Hunts.
