pers record the invention, by Mr.. 4. Wat
son, Of Manchester, Eng, Of a new mode
Of rigging ships:---
"rhc principal feature in his invention is
the introduction Of set Of revolving sails,
sixteen in number, something similar 10 the
fans of a windmill, which are elevated on
wheel, aud arc attached TO sort of spin-
die. As soon as the wind touches these
sails, they Instantly set in motion the spin
die, which, acting upon very simple piece
Of machinery, propclsa couple Of paddles.
The objects attained are greater speed by
means OF the paddles, aud the advantage
Of sailing against head wind This is
great improvement, astbc sails can bcpoint-
cd with ease to any part ofthe compass
Head or contrary winds are mol rscogniz-
ed; stiff breeze is all that is requisite TO
propel the vessel. The paddlc-boxcs give
the hull the appearance of doublc-bowed
steamboat. He has rugged model ship

Gen Lopez plead in abatement 10 the in
dictmenr, on the ground tha, the Grand Jury
had been Illegally drawn and impannelled, as
did also Messrs. Sigur and Augustine The
others put in the plea of no, guilty.
Gen. Henderson requested an immediate
trial, but Judge McCalsh postponed The consid-
Grafton of lha, point, as well as of The pleas in
abatement, until the next day, when they could
be argued, and he would determine whether he
should await the attendance of the Circuit

Paine's Light.

The Springfield Republican furnishes The fol-
lowing explanation OF one of the mysteries Of
this invention
Ii has been claimed, heretofore, by Mr.. Paine,
that water was a simple substance. The man
ner by which he arrived al this conclusion, was
very natural one. By communicating with
the water with one pole of his apparatus, he OBJ
talned all hydrogen, by the other oxygen
The natural conclusion would be that if decOm-
position really took place between The Two u
nted gases Of which water is composed, the
two lIbTaled gases would both manifest them
selves They did not thus manifest themselves.
and The conclusion was lha, The waller was all
resoIrable into oxygen or hydrogen, depending
upon whether positive negative electricity
were used IN the process
A day or TWO before our visit 10 Mr.. Paine
he had been visited by Prof Doremus of New
York, who offered him salulation Of the mys-
terry, which Mr.. Paine Immediately admilied
the RESPONSIVENESS OF, and which We doub, no.
will do away with some of the preludices con-
celved by scientific men toward Mr.. Paine
the claim that water was simple substance
being IN anlagonlsm with veil established facts
PToi. Doremus snpposes that decomposition
really takes place, and that the oxygen, com.
blned with the hydrogen, is all liberated, but
that 1t Immediately uniles with the hydrogen
in the undecomrosed water, forming The per
oxide OF hydrogen. This is the only rational
solution OF the difficulty, and is, doubtless, the
true one. IL will thus be seen that after, car
rylng on decomposition for any length of time,
what Is leiI IN The waller jar is not pure waller.
and The necessity OF frequently replacing The
iluid IN practical use, becomes obvious. Mr..
Paine says he is not disposed TO adhere to
theory, after he gets better one, and We
should Judge that he had given up the one TO
which he was so naturally led.
The Republican has the following paragraph
as TO the invention in general 80
All The +" scientific committees" in Christen-
dom could never cheat US out Of the belief in
what we saw, viz that by peculiar eonstruc-
lion Of his helices, Mr. Paine has obtained
the power of decomposing water, heretofore
only attained by large galvanic batteries lha,
the gas developed in The composition is HYDRO

xtraOrdinary Trial.

4 correspondent of the New York Sun, wri-
ting from Bel Air, in Maryland, relates the fol-
lowing extraordinary circumstances
Sometime ago the body of man named
Hammond was found near here. bearing evi-
dence that he had been cruelty murdered. Sus-
plclon was fixed upon two persons named
Stump and Griffith, as the villains who com.
mi''ed the bloody deed, and they were accor-
dinghy arrested, and duly indicted, Stump for
being The principle and Griffith as being an ac-
complice.
S,ump's trial came on few days since, and
he was accqui,ed, the jury thinking the les
limony against him not sufficien. for hanging.
Griffith. the accomplice, was next on rrial,
and The Court have been occupied with it for
the past few days. To-day they brought in a
verdict of rot guilty, upon the following sin
gular testimony:
Stump having been acquitted of the murder,
his evidence was Of course admissible, and he
was called 10 The stand in behalf of Griffith
Being sworn, he was asked:
Ques.---Do you know anything Of the mur-
der OF Hammond
Ans-.-Yes.
Ques.---Who did it!
Ans---I DID 1T MYSELF!
Ques.-Had Griffith any agency in the ac,l
Ans..--None and he did not know it until
four hours afterwards
The Jury Immediately returned verdict of
Not Guilty, agains. the prisoner, and he was
dIschared.

:" A few days since, as we were leaving our
residence on our usual morning visit to The Ad-
Vocate office, sonel horse belonging TO US
galloped up and caught our arm and made an
attempt 10 pull us in the direction he wished
us to 60 He then left and set off al quick
gait towards pasture on our farm about quar-
Ter of a mile distant from our residence. In
few minutes he approached US again, maxim an
unusual noise. end seemed by his ac,iou 10 de-
sire Us 10 follow him. This we did, and when
we reached the pasture We observed the mate
OF the horse enlansled iu bridge, which had
broken through with him. After we had ex-
'rlcaed his companion from his dangerous po-
sition, the horse which had given US notice of
his companion's danger, came up and rubbed
his head against US, showing evidenl signs of
greal satisfaction. s,,s
