offered to the public.
Thisimprovementc consists nthe suspension
of the whole seat, by two G springs similar
to gig spring, which being screwed ON the
back part of the cantle of the saddle, receive
an iron bar, forming the sweep of the camille,
thus preserving it from receiving any. injury
by horse rolling the saddle, and making the
saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise
be, which cannot fail to give ease to both
horse snd rider-a frame also enters the back
of the cantle, calculated to raise the Vallce or
Portmanteau, and keep it entirely clear of the
horses back-this can be put on or removed
in moment. Gentlemen DESTROYS OF further

"As informed you, Guadalupe has
suffered much, particularly Bassa,erre.
During the hurricane, an ancient volca-
no, which has for many years been
tranquil, and which is very near the
town, burst forth again, and occasioned
terrible earthquake. The Govern
men: House, the Barracks, the Hospi-
tai. the Church of St. Francis, and nu-
merous houses were thrown down, and
many persons buried under the ruins.
The roof of the church under which a
great number of people Ind assembled
through terror, fell in and crushed all
who were present. The Apostolic
Project, his Grand Vicar, and another
Priest, who were there, were crushed at
the foot of the high Altar. The num-
Der of victims is not yet known, but it
