We are happy to perceive that the distractions
which have consuised this i'll fated country seem to
'be rapidly su5siding The plan of holding Petty
Sessions has been attended with happy success, and
the number of convictions at the last assizes is less
than has been known for many years past. In
Catberry the arhite5oys have committed some out
rages-but this seems 10 bea solitary instance. In
Galway the jailor declares that never since his ap-
pointment, twelve years since, has there been so

business in Kilkenny occupied but three houis,
nor was there single conviction of any kind.
These accounts are 10 the 9th Of August.

Patent Elastic Saddles.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO ARE FOND OF EASY
RIDING.
The complaint against hard and uneasy
saddles, which is for the most part just
and general one, and is really great grle.
vance 10 those who have much riding to
do, has caused him to turn his mind par
tcuIarly TO that subject, with view, II
possible, to remedy the evil. lie can
with confidence assure the public that he
has accomplished it. The plan projected
is by means OF strong and well tempered
steel springs, SO constructed as to support
the saddle seat and give much greater ease
to both rider and horse, than saddles made
IN the common way OF any other that he
has ever seen can possibly do: The plan
is entirely different from the English elias
tic saddles with spring bars OF steel,
wbalebone, &C. and also from those with
wire springs, and he conceives much su'
perior to either, as the elasticity IS great
er, and the tree not being put out OF its o.
riginal form, will not be subject to hurting
horses on journeys, which is complained
of in the saddles with spring bars A
number of gentlemen have those saddles
now in use, and but one sentiment exists
among them in favor OF thei; superiority.
The invention is equally as applicable 10
ladies' saddles as to gentlemen's. In
point of durability they will be warranted
equal 10 any other saddles and superior to
most. JAMES VANSANT.
