DISH LLATION OF 3I !:A WATER. Lieutenant de Condrick, of the Danish Navy, has in• vented au apparatus for kiistilling sea water on board ships, which takes up very little room, is extremely simple, and by means of the same are that is used for cookiftg, supplies daily as much fresh water as is requi site for the use of the ciew. The l'atilotic Society of Altona has caused experiments to be made with such an apparatus, con,tructed under the direction or the in veator. It completely answered the expectations held out. The Patriotic Society intend to give one of these apparatus to be tried on a long voyage.— Hamb. Paper. milmw-- ---- .--- .. ..,..,, , .. ^r% 1 `,. r. '' IS - 7 ;. -- 1 _ - leitapkr: , . . c .

Daring this journey the scene became awfully grand and sublime, from that conspiracy, if it may be so termed, of the elements, which impeded our pi ogress— by storms of rain and hail, with vivid lightning and rolling of thunder, threatening to dart in thunderbolts on our heads. Overpowered with fatigue, and drenched with rain, we landed at a small house of lava, at the bate of the Cone, for the accommodation of travellers, built by the British at my, with an inscliptioa to that purpose over the entrance. This consists of a couple of apartment, with a stable adjoining, where some travel lers prefer, on account of the extreme cold, to repose during night in the manger. We lighted a fire, and, after taking eshments, agreed to set out by midnight, and ascend the Cone, so as to reach the summit in time to witness the glorious luminary of day rising from the chambers of the east, and as a giant rejoicing to run fills eenirse. The dead silence that reigns in this devoted spot, shut out as it were from the world, and the terrific devastation all around, where not an insect or bird is to be seen, a; e calculated to strike deep on the mind senti metits of profound awe and veneration. After muffling ourselves up, and taking staves in our hands, we set out with the guide, who carried a lighted lanthorri. The General, one of cur companions, however, after proceeding a short way. apprehensive of danger from stepping among the masses of lava, hiving nearly broken his leg, abandoned the enterprise, and returned to the Louse, intending to undertake it next day, and leaving us to go forward. In the course of proceeding we stumbled among enormous blocks of lava, which I tan only cum:iate to prodigious masses of ice hurled on each other in terrible confusion, in large gullies. Al-. •though proceeding with cautious steps, yet we fell down at almost every other moment, afraid we should break our legs. In about two hours we got to the immediate base of the perpendicular height of the Cone, which we began to ascend, when a slight glimmering of the light of day began to appear. Of all the tasks I had ever undertaken at any one period in the course of my tra vels in ascending mountains, this was unquestionably the most arduous and laborious. The difficulty chiefly arose from being unable to obtain a solid footing to press the body forward, in consequence of the ashes being loose; since frequently, at acquiring a step, we slid down, and lost rnoie ground than had been gained. 'At this time the pure air in Inc ;ant affected the lungs, and prevented free re;i.iretion ; another the std.. eodsv apour, which oh cored the eyc-sir,ht as if ex. posed to occasioned sickness and violent vomit ing. !laving reached hall way up the Cone, I was obliged to lie down in a complete same of exhaustion. I perceived below a spa; k of light moving quickly along, and not unlike the torch of a lampiighto f when i n f u ll speed. This t;gnisjidutis is presumed by some to be occasioned by swarms of flying glove-worms or lumi nous insects; although callers ate disposed to think them meteors, or a specie: of natural phosphorus.— On proceeding I found rile louse ashes still continuing, and after Sc, ambling up, and lolling down, thank GOD we leached the top, when we threw ourselves on the ground, and remained for some time, complcaely worn oat by exertions. At this most critical moment the sun began to rise, and with a glory altogether indescribable. Most fortunately at this season there was no snow on the Cone, othensi,e our attempt to gain its summit would have been perfectly impracticable. The snow on this mountain yields a revenue to the Bishop of Catania. The scene around, from this most commanding alti tude, unit:lig objects so numerous and sublime, bases all kind of desciii.tion, a::,1 never could be attempted by the most fertile and lively mind. Silence, awfully solemn as the very regions of death, appeals to reign around. An horizon is untiilded of an extent incredible. A vast extent of county y, with numerous villages, like so many packs of cards, are scattered about, and rivers m their serpentine directions; mountains and volcanoes. The ocean is boundless, and the islands of Lipari and Sttombolo appear with their smoking summits. In short, all nature, nay, the very world itself, appeared, as it were, to be under our feet The horrors arising from numerous caverns belching forth clouds of smoke, boiling cauldrons, and that over whelming destruction occasioned by lava from different .options that rushed down the matirstlit a state of tusk's' with such terrible fury, the vast elevation of the mountain, the purity of its air, the. ya!aning caverns, and the dead silence reigning throci)luot ; 1 say, the combination of these is calculated t,, stlike terror on the mind, and shake the tierirs ref t...tyeller, how ever distinguished he may .be for coat aad int! epidity. This place is infioitely more terrific any part of Mount Vegnvius which I visited. The view which these rocks presents—b..ing rent and toni is a thousand parts —the flames of fire, lava winriniz down ti.e mountain, and smoke produced by the volcanoes :;rouli.l, brought forcibly to my recollection the terrors l:S,.layed can that Mount, where the law and cananandmeats de beef ed, and spoken by the MAJESTY of EA Vi.:N ; w h en ve find that the " Fire :eta along upon the iz.:ntn:J."— T 2 avds through Turkey, ere.

The S h eriffs of lifiStrol, .1011 X SAVAGE and CDARLES Poistor, &qrs. proceeded to Oath, on Saturday, the 24:h ult. as a delacatioll from the Corporation, to Melte the Earl of Lirgarom. and Mr. Secretary Casottao.to a dinner at the Mansion-Howie,— The Noble Lord felt himself -compelled to decline the honour of the invitation, on account of ill health, and the l lonoursble &cre. tail, in consequence of his bring obliged immediately to retina to Dodos. They both expressed themselves blibly gratifices By th:s means we can at once take a warrant against the poacher, who, if a shrewd fellow, and master of his business, would clear off half the game in a small manor, before he might be detected in the very act of poaching. All seizures, bloodshed, and danger, might thus he alm.st wholly avoided : only see him, even V 4 Ith a spyglass, at any time on the forbidden ground, and have a warrant for him as a wilful trespasser. By this IMAM also, the poor farmer, who has no money to go to Inn., has some protection against infringement on his I rights by the man o ho tramples on him, from this very circumstance. But having no share in, and, therefore, m profit in the penalty, he has no temptation to take any advantage merely for the sake of getting the a 10s. himself. Any person -thinking himself aggrieved should therefore have the law open to him ; and the risk of an extra 1.:5 in such a case could be no object. For the second, and all future wilful trespasses, on that same person to whom the offender had before been made to pay the E 5, to be not less than £5, nor more than A:5O, at the option of AlaAistrates ; who should have a very great extent of discretional power to mitigate the pe nalty, as this law, l;ke all others, must of course be open to the abrie of tyrannical persons, and there might occur some extraordinary instances where it would become desirable to mitigate the punishment as much as possible. All Gurne.shoaring (except Black Game, Muir Game, and Ptar migan) to begin oil the Ist of October. By such an arrangement thousands of very young partridges, that are not fair game, would escape being massacred by the gentleman-poacher, and falling a prey, when in hedges and hassocks, to the dogs of the pot hurter. There would be avoided many disputes be tween farmers and eager young sportsmen (perhaps . the sons of their landlords), who sometimes cannot resist fol lowing their game into the corn. There would be an end of destroying a whole nide of young pheasants in standing barley, which is so frequently, and so very easily done in September. The hot weather of September was never meant for hard fagging. September is a month that the agricul turist should devote to his harvest, and the man of pleasure to sailing, sea-bathing, fishing, and other stim mer pursuits. But when October arrives, the farmer has leisure to enjoy a little sport after all his bard labour, without neglecting his business; and the Gentleman, by a day's shooting, at that time, becomes refreshed and invigorated, instead of wearing out himself and his dogs by slaving after partridges under a broiling sun in September. The evenings begin to close, and he then enjoys his party and his fire-side, after a day's shooting of just sufficient duration to brace his nerves, and make everything agreeable. Penalty for killing G;ineout of season to be not less than £5, nor more than £5O, at the option of Magistrates. _ . One regular penalty is not fair. There should rest with the Magistrates the power of making a very great distinction between one who could prove that he had killed a head of game for a longing Ludy or a sick pct son, and another who wantonly destroyed it in open violation of the law. The Act for refusing to give names. The periods for killing Game (with the mere alteration of de ferring partridge-shooting till October; and a proper time fixed for killing hares, which has nerer yet been done !) The Act for killing Pigeons. The Duty on Dogs, &c. may remain as they now stand; except that these, and what few other laws it may be necessary to extract fr o m the old Statutes, should be taken from the chaos in which they are at present immured, made as clear as possible, and compressed into one Act in the present reign. But let all the contradictory non sense about Henry, James, Anne, &e. be thrown into the fire, m being so complex as often to confuse even lawyers themselves, and therefore calculated only to ensnare the unwary, and be a subject of ridicule to every man of common sense. N.B. I one day happened to be for mate time in conversation with one of the shrewdest fellows, and most finished poachers, that ever lived, who , after defying all his pursuers, has left off the trade and retired to a lawful business. He laughed at the Game Laws. I then named to him the new Laws, as lately proposed. He smiled, and said " that won't do." I next named what I before, as well as wha is here suggested, as if another Act contemplated by Parlia ment. Ile then put on a very serious face, and said—" Upon my soul, Sir, that's the only plan : that would properly do them. No one would trust a man for 4100 ; but ES is no object to either a buyer or even a poor man, if he has got plenty of friends under his thumb !—A man, too, must be a poor hand to let people see him at work; but if a Gentleman could mark him for a mere treqw.ss, be could not go to his ground beforefeeding time." _ _ N.B. It absolutely requires a very old sportsman, who has disco vered all the secrets of poachers to strike at the roots of this evil, and not Legislators, who are worthy of a better office. MATCH AT CHESS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. We stated, some time ago, that the Chess Club at Paris, called Le Cercle de Philido., challenged the London Chess Club, to play a match at Chess, for any sum which the latter Club might name, the moves to be transmitted either by post, or by extraordinary couriers. The London Chess Club accepted the challenge, ap• pointed a committee of its own members to conduct the moves, and proposed that the stake should be fifty guineas a game. An answer was returned by M. Labourdonnaye, the first chess-player in Paris, who sent the challenge on the part of the French Club, declining the match, on the ground that the Cercle. de P/d/idnr was on the point of dissolution. Some time after, the Edinburgh Chess Club challenged the London Chess Club, to play a match of three games, The London Chess Club accepted the challenge; the chess players of the North, with a characteristic firmness of purpose, adhered to their own proposition, and the match has actually com menced. Two games are played at the same time ; Edinburgh having the move in one, and London in the other ; the second move was transmitted. from London to Edinburgh yesterday. The stake, atlhe suggestion of the Edinburgh Club, is a Silver Cup, of the value of twenty.five guineas. The moves, for obvious reasons, will not be allowed to transpire until the match is concluded. The following are the names "of the London Committee, which com prehend the most distinguished players in England : Mt. 13rande, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. Frazer, Mr. Keen, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Mercier, Mr. Parkinson, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Samuda, Mr. Tonialin, Mr. Wilt shire, Mr. Wood. Sunday evening, as a Gentleman was driving his gig s the horse took fright at a cart coming in the opposite direction, , near the Highgate Archway, and plunging from the main-road 6 1 , serthe gig. The gemiemait, in endeavouring to save himself, threw his whip arm across some paling, but was caught by the hooks at the top, and in trying to extricate Unwell; be was caught under the cheek, *ben the hooks penetrated -his tongue. In this dreadful state he hung above three minutes ere he was extricated, when surgical aid was procured, and after the necessary dressing, he was remove) to town in a state of great exhaustion. The Duke of San Carlos, it appears, is well received at the Court of the Tuileries, because he gives the French Cabinet no trouble; and be displeases to the same ex tent the Court of Madrid, because he remains inactive. A successor was therefore resolved on ; but it was ne• cessary at first to involve the design in mystery, lest' San Carlos and the French Ministry should defeat it.' A Senor (wi:h a strange name)—a Senor Revillayegido accordingly received orders to prepare himself for a mission to Paris, where, if possible, he was to appear in the hotel of the Spanish Embassy as unexpectedly and as suddenly as Asmodens from the glass bottle. He could not, however, travel through the air like this spirit. It was necessary that he should keep the high toad, and have cash to pay for his dinner and post horses: it was necessary to be able to lull the French spies, or to bribe the French police. But where was this money to he found ? In looking about for expe dients, the affair got wind, and M. Talaru, the French Ambassador at Madrid, telegraphed it to:Paris. it was too late for M. de Chateaubriand to revent the depar ture of Revillayegido ; but it was nor too late to prevent his coming to tlistuib San Carlos in his hotel. An orrler was accordingly immediately despatched to Bayonne to refuse him post-horses. Before the order arrived, he had got to Bordeaux, and bad nearly altogether escaped the vigilance of the Government agents, by the modesty of his equipage, the smallness of his suite, and his eco nomical mode of travelling. Probably no Ambassador was ever so self-denied before. We remember a boy at school giving the following classical translation of these words—Caesar venit in Galli= sunana diligentia— " Cesar came into Gaul on the top of the diligence." Now, Senor Rivellayegido took nearly this mode of travelling. He came to Gaul, not "on the top," but in the interior of the Diligence. He was, however, found out, and was placed under arrest at Bordeaux till further orders. He is even kept confined in his cham ber at the small inn where this said Diligence deposited its passengers, lest he should get out into the U:tra coteries and excite scandal. There is no doubt enter tained at Paris that this envoy of his Catholic Majesty will be again packed up in the same vehicle, and re imported into Spain. Ronnra SUOT. The morning of Tuesday, April 27th, an attempt was made to rob the shop of Mr. William Crandall, grocer and linen draper, at Leigh, near Tunbridge. About three o'clock, Mrs. Crairdail was awakened by a noise at the back of the house. She called to her son Richard, informing him of-the circnm stance, and he immediately went to his father and mother's bedchamber, from %thence he took a gun loaded with small shot; and u idiom dressing himself, he went quietly out at the trent door. On arriving at the back of the braise lie saw three men, two on one side of sonic palings*, and one on the other side. They were enraged in getting over the palings a large pack age, which was atterwards found to consist of grocery taken from the warehouse. Mr. Crandall told the men chit if either of them stirred be would fire at them; but notwithstanding that threat, one of them attempted to run off. Mr. Crandall again cautioned him, but in vain: he then fired, and the robber fell. Mr. Crandall then turned to the second man, and assuring him that his gnu had two barrels, threatened to shoot him also jibe stirred. The man who had been shot having in some measure recovered hirmelf, rose and attempted to get away. Mr. Crandall raised his gun with intent to strike him with the butt end of it, but while so engaged ;lie other came behind, and struck hiju a violent blow which knocked him into the ditch. Oa rising be saw only one man, and he was making hi; escape. Mr. Crandall pursued him, but in vain. It appears that the man who was outside of the palings got away after the firing of the gin. Friday, Mr. Martin, of flartfield, Sussex, in formed Mr. Crandall that a man had applied to the workhouse of that place badly wounded in the back, which he said had been occasioned by the patrol of a neighbouring village having fired at him.. Mr. Crandall went to llartfield, and on being closely questioned, the wounded man confessed that he was the person shot by Mr. Crandall. Saturday he was taken before R. Mi nna, Esq. at Penshurst, and fully committed for trial at the Assizes, anal on Saturday he was taken in a cart to the county jail, Maidstone. The name of the prisoner is Pet.:ecost. Ills wounds are not dan gerous, but severe, no less than 127 shots havlnr , en tered the small of his back. The gun had only half a charge in it, or the wretched man would have been killed on the s'or, as he received its contents at a dis tance of not more than a rod and a half. • Mr. A rt.tv submitted th, - ,t nothing had been stated on the rat 41 . Colonel Curry which carried hit, demand beyond a mere ileht. 31r. Pellard, he added, had come to London purposely took::: the chair. Mr. under all the circumstance?, held Air. Poitird bail, and deferred the further consideration of the ccs.• to Seturday.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SIR—As you did me the honour to publish my last Letter of the 12th ult. on the Game Laws; I beg leave to propose an amendment in the Act for the Punish ment of Trespass, and at the same time to transmit you a few more observations on the subject of the Game Laws in general. I am, &c. AN OLD SPORTSMAN. l'ounds penalty for one who goes (or wilfully cot:tinues) on the land of another after he has received either a written notice, or a verbal notice in presence of two witnesses. One hal.. of this penalty to go to the collector of taxes for Government, at.... the. other half to the poor of the parish wherein the offence I; committed. The defendant, if dissatisfied with the decision of the Magistrate;, may refer his case to trial at the Assizes, act:. but if he loses his cause, he must pay the £5 ia addition to the damages tbat may be awarded by the Jury, and in this latter case, tt.e £5 should go to the pining; in order to liquidate his costs, or any expen:e that might have been incurred by the trouble which the defendant would have given him. No compromise to be taken for this or any other penalty, ut.less before and with the consent of Magistrates. DEFEAT OF SIR CHARLR.; M'CARTHY AND THE BRITISH TROOPS. 8, Queen•squarc, Westminster, 742. v 4. SIR—As great fears are entertained for the safety of our excellent Governor, Sir Charles M'CArtliy, and as it may be some at )nsolation to his ft iends in this country (among whom I am proud to consider my?elf one not the least interested) to learn that there are still lnves of his being in existence, permit me to offer the following observations upon this subject: Although it cannot be disputed that the Ashantees' are a barbarous nation, yet as I have been among them, and witnessed their humanity to prisone:s which they captured in their late wars with the BuntaLoos, I can of course speak with confidence upon this suhjoet ; and if the same King (Zay Tootoo QuaTnina) who was alive when I was at Coomassie, is still io existence, I can pledge myself for the safety of Sr Charles M.Cat:hy, being well acquainted with his Fable :.lajeity's disposi tion, and having the utmost confidence in his huma nity. The foll:iveing reasons also induce me to think that Sir Charles's lite will be pre!erved : Ist. When I was ut Coomassie, in MO, I saw one of the Chief_ of the Buntakoos, who had been taken prisoner by the Ashantees, walkint abcoit with his attettdants, enjo;ir3 his liberty, and every attention and respect. tld. After the battle of Benda, when the Fainees were feted by the Ashantees, one of their Chiefs, named At€, was taken pri• toner and sent to Coonuss4e, where he was set at liberty, and of fered to be restored to the Fantres upon the payment of which was LltraLded for his ransom. 3d. It is not by any means a case withont precedent for the. ...!ban tees to have a European Governor in their pii;se-ision as zi and treatitig him ; as they some year, a.,eo captur.,l a Govi.r. nor ninth, 7.nd kept him for fly: months, during which time he was treated with the greatest humanity and reipe.:t ; after which he was ransomed for £4OO. _ Upon all these occadons, Apoloo, the General-in- Chief of the Ashantees, commanded, and as there is little doubt that he is with the army who have captuied Sir Charles, there is reason to hope that as he saved the lives of others, be will also spare that of Sir Charles Nl , Carthy. Sincerely wishing that this may be the case, I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, wm.Hurrox. lIUSA'7SSON'S LtrTER. Ti) TIIF. EDITor. OP THR STAR.
