"A SPRING SADDLE,

"A SPRING SADULE,
Much superior to any that hare hitherto been oered TO
the Public.
This Improvement consists in the suspension OF the
whole seat, by two springs, similar to gig spring,
which being screwed the back part or the cantle OF
the saddle receives iron BAR forming the sweep OF
the camille, thus preserving from receiving any injury
by horse rolling the saddle and making the saddle
tree more firm than it would otherwise be, which can
not fail to give ease both horse and rder-a frame al
so enters the back of the cante calculated to raise the
yaice or Pormanteau and keep entirely clear OF the
horses back-this can be put on or removed IN mo-
ment Gentlemen DESTROYS OF further explanation are
invited to call at the store and examine the model
Persons out of the District wishing purchase the pa
tent right will be dealt with on liberal terms on app
cation as above.
In order to prove to the public the superiority of
these saddles they have given few extracts OF letters
from those who have them in use-among whom is the
late President of the United States

all its debts, would still have surplus of el7O 600, in.
dependent of the private property OF slr Peter, and
aso stated that Williams Burgess had sufficient to
pay double the amount OF their responsibilities. 1t
very probable that the other houses which have since

THE WEATHER.

Providence, FeJ 1t commenced showing
here on Monday afternoon, but cleared off late
in the evening, leaving the air excessively cold
Yesterday morning the wind was very high
and the cold intense. AT noon the mercury in
thermometer in George-street, was three de-
grees below o, which is two degrees lower than
it was there at the same hour of the day on the
cold Tuesday. Several chimnies were blown
down by the force of wind, and people passing
through the streets, particularly near Weybos-
set bridge, found it extremely difficult to main.
tain their standing in the strong current Of the
northern blast In the course of the day, two
or three dwellings were threatened with de-
struction from fire, but the alarms were not ge-
neral, and timely discoveries prevented conaa-
grations that might have been extensive.

The Quebec Gazette of the 10Th ult. remarks,
"The health of this city since the beginning Of
last autumn has been worse than for many years
past We have not heard that there prevailed
any severe epidemic maady. The chief cha
racter of the diseases was inhammatory; proba-
bly, owing to the great heat Of the summer and
the extraordinary mildness of the weather to
this period, which the constitutions OF the in
hab,ants of this part Of the province are SO lit
tie prepared to meet Such weather has prov
ed particularly injurious or fatal, we believe, to
persons far advanced in years.
