T. T. Grant, Esq , of the Clarence-yard, exhibited on Fri-
day a further improved cookieg and distitliag apparatus,
whose simplification is even more perfect than that of those
I alive ly in use on board her Msjesty's ships 'Hostel' nia Arr.-
gent, Bernard, and Plumper. This new structure distils 30
gallons of pure aerated water from salt pea hour with the
same fuel as employed in cooking the victuals, which is done
at the same time for 700 mess. We believe this apparatus is
intended for the new frigive Termagant. Many naval and
scientific officers were present at the exhibition of its success,
and ail were struck with its capabilities to accomplish the
objects sought.
WOOLWICH, AUGUST 25.—Usucl, st.-v., Lieutenant-cwa-
mantis,. Hollingsworth, was paid off yester lay, and put out

(the old iron boats) not much in favour with the Admiralty,
and usually but indifferent in speed and utility.—Licktniue,
st -v., Master-commanding Paley, arrived yesterday, from
Portsmouth, and will remain as a tender for service at this

beet& and wilt this addition, that " they would create an
immense sensation both in town and csunery." The learned
ceunsel went on to state that some further communications
tonk pines hstween the parties, and at length, on the 18th
April, the defendant wrote a letter to Mr. Bevan in which
he stated that he should decline having any further commu-
nication with his s&ieitors, but that be would see him per-
sonally; that he wished to do him a service which no one
else could render him, and which he, himself, could not alter
the publication of the first of the series of letters ; and that,
if he communicated with him, the letters in question would
be gives up, and added that, if he were " wise," the
prosecutor would see the propriety of taking the course
be suggested. The learned counsel concluded his
address by stating that it was under three
elr-
circumstances that the present charge was preferred sgainst
the defendant; and it would be for the jury to say, when they
, had heard the whole of the evidence, whether they could en-
' tertain any reasonable doubt that tha defendant was per-
fectly aware of the threatening letters having been sent ly
the woman Mills, and that he bad lent hirae.f thrOngt. !'f!
tewspaper to further her object of Extortion.
Mr. H. B •van was then examined—He said: I reside at
No. 4, Hamilton-;lna, and have had a country residence at
Twickenham for fifteen years. My nephew is a partner in
the banking firm of Barclay, Bevan, and Co., but I have
nothing to do with it. I received the le,ters now produced
I between September 2, 1848 and April 14, 1849. I believe
them to be in the handwriting of Miss Mills and the
prisoner.
By Mr. Parry—l am a married man. I have two children.
live with my wile. I have resided at a place called West-
bourne Villa, and else at Hanover-gate, Regent's Peak.
Mr. Parry—Did you visit a Mrs.—
Mr. Ballantine—Really, Mr. Parry, I don't think that
names ought to be mentioned.
Mr. Parry-1 have no d-s:re, lam sure, to do anythit g
that is ;toprearer ; ar.d I will put this question : Did you
visit a leery at the lard mentioned place.
Witness--1 did.
Mr. Parry —Wm; she a untried lady ?
Wieneu...4 et. n't know. Ste may have been.
Mr, parry—gave you not heard that she was a married

woman?
Witness—l have beard BO eince. It was statid to mo that
she was a married w N:nan, but I kn.tw no hing about it.
Mr. Party—M all arta!, she pasted DS a Mrs.
Some-

body ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Parry Did you visit more than 000 lady at
this place?
Witar•• - Na
Mr. Parry—Did you ever Nolte any letters :0 Miss
Mills ?
Witness—Yes. I think I wrote two to her.
By Mr. Ballentine—l did not write to her until after
she had written t • me.
Richard Ratcliffe produced a copy of the declaration
made by the defendant, of the fact of his he leg the prin
ter, publisher, and prcprietor, of the Satirist.
Mr. Parry &esteemed the jury, end, a ter stating to
them that the only question they had to deride %err whe-
thEr it had been proved that the defendant we., more
of Mr'. Mills havine sent • threatening letter t the
prosecutor, he said he should submit to them most
dentiy that there was nothing whatever in the case to at ow
that the di foldout ever knew of any ouch letter having beet:
cent, and on that ground he was entitled to he acquitted.
Ills 1. arned friend had introduced the prosecutor with a
great flattish, aril had talked of his wealth and Lis Position
in society, and he hal represented the defendant as using
the newspaper with which he was connected for
the purposes of extortion. He might, on the other
haiol, ask the jury what they thought of the conduct
of a man at the period of We arrived at by the prosecutor, a
married man with two children, whether rlatighors or not
did not appee', who admitted having visited two different
married women, and he might oak them whether it man who
so acted was descrying of much corsidiration. lie had no
right, however, to do so; hat when prejudice was Excited on
one aide, he was at all events julifiEd in saying that there
was some ground for prejudice on the other. His object,
however, M.lll that the charge should be corsidi red fairly
and dispassionately, and that the jury ehould deckle this
question only : did the evidence satisfy them that there
was any guilty knowledge on the part of the defendant ;
end if that was rot made out it was their duty to
acquit him. The learned counsel then prteceded to com-
ment upon the facts of the case, remarking particulerly upon
the proof that the defendant had positively refused to tbe
cgent to compromise the matter, and he raid that this
appeared to him to be conclusive of his innocence, and he
concluded • very eloquent and a' is address by calling upon
the jury to hay that the de:en-Ent was not guilty of the
offence with which he was sharged.
Mr. Justice Erle then summed up, and the jury, offer •
short deliberation, wished so know whether upon the pre-
vnt indictment they had the power to say that a conspiracy
had been proved ?
The leaned judge replied that all they could do upon the
present occasion was to decide whether, upon the evidence,
the defendant was proved to have been aware of the threat-
ening letter having been sent by Mrs. Mills.
The jury then retired, and were absent about an hour.
Upon their return into court they gave a verdict of Not
Guilty.
Mr. lluddleetone rritl there was an indictment for misde-
meanour against the defendant, which he proposed to go
on with on Monday miming.
