board of ship, the tube containing it may 
pass through the ship, and along any 
part of the outside of it which lies imme- 
diately in the water, and again entering 
the ship, it discharges the condensed wa- 
ter into the vessels designed for its recep- 
tion; after the sea-water has been dis- 
tilled in this manner, it is passed through 
a filtrer, consisting of a small cylindrical 
case, made of tin or other metal, and 
being filled with pounded charcoal, each 
end is stopped by a circular cover, per- 
furated with holes, fine enough to prevent 
the charcoal from passing through. One 
end of this case is inserted inte a cask 
also partly filled with pounded charcoal, 
and the water being poured into the cask, 
filters out through the case. ~

MR. WILLIAM MURDOCK’S (sOHO FOUN= 
DRY, STAFFORD), for « Method or Pro« 
cess for Boring and Forming Pipes, 
Cylinders, Columns, and Circular 
Disks, out of Solid Blocks and Slabs 
of Stone of any kind. 
This is a very neat and economical ins 
vention. 
cylinders, pillars, pipes, &c. are cut out 
by the chisel, and all the substance exe 
cepting that immediately wanted is chip- 
ped off in small and useless pieces; but 
Mr. Murdock’s method enables the 
workman to form the pipe by cutting 
out of the block a complete and perfect 
cylinder; thus from the same stone seve- 
ral pipes of different sizes may be made 
with the smallest possibie waste. |

REVIEW OF NEW MUSICAL PUBLICATIONS. 
a 
8‘ When Day bas smil’d a soft Farewell.” A 
favourite Glee, as sung at the Hall Concert, 
at Norwich. 1s. 
HIS glee, the words of which are 
from the poetical pen of lord Strang- 
ford, is agreeable initsair; andthe adjust- 
ment of the harmonical parts (four in 
number) is regular and correct. 
6¢ Fust like Lowe is yonder Rose? The favourite 
Rondo, sung by Mr. Braham, at the Thea- 
tres Royal Covent-Garden and Drury-lane. 
Arranged as a Glee for three Voices, by the 
Lomposer, Fobn Davy. 2s Gd. 
We have always been among the ad- 
rirers of this pleasing and original rondo, 
In its primitive and natural state of a 
single melody; but cannot lend our ad- 
miration to the shape in which Mr. Davy - 
here presents itto as, Itis not every 
air, however captivating in itself, that 
properly admits of vocal harmonization 5 
and we wonder the talent which gave 
birth to the melody, should aot be ac- 
companied with judgment sufficient to 
avoid the positive perversion of its nature, 
"The White Rose.” Composed by Fokn Clarke, 
Mus. Dec. 1s. 
“The White Rose,” opens with a 
short but expressive recitative. The air 
to which it leads is of a masterly cast, 
and gives the sentiment of the: poetry 
(which is by Miss Seward) with truth and 
force. ; 
“Will with a Wisp,’ a favourite. Ballad, 
written by Mr. G. Walker. Composed by 
Sobn Whitaker. 1s. 6d. 
This song, to which Mr. Whitaker has 
attached a piang-forte accompaniment, 
Montuiy Maa, No. 198, 
is particularly easy and unlaboured in its 
melody, and the general effect is at once 
agreeable and appropriate to the words. 
66 Poor Flora,” a Canzonet, written ‘by Mr. 
Ranuie. Composed by F. Ross. 15, 
The natural and easy turn of the mee 
lody of ‘ Poor Flora,” will not fail to 
attract the favourable notice of the lovers 
of simple composition. The air is ac- 
companied with a distinct piano-forte 
part, and the commencing and introduc- 
tory symphonies, are at once pleasing and 
analagous. 
6‘ The Forest Maid,” a favourite Song, with an 
Accompaniment for the Piano-forte. Com 
posed, and inscribed to W. Sainsbury, M.D.» 
by F. M. Coombs. 15. 
This ballad has been sung with consie 
derable applause at the Bath concerts, 
The melody is of a cast to affect genee 
rally, because its expression is that of 
nature; and the ‘bass and construction, 
are at the saime time so good, as to meri€é 
the approbation of the scientific. 
66 The Lay of Love,” a Sing, written by F. L. 
Lewis, esg. Composed by Dr. Fubn Clarke, 
of Cambridge. 1s. 6d. : 
Dr. Clarke has given to “ the Lay of 
‘Love” a very pleasing and expressing mes 
lody. Theideas in the music, like those 
in the poetry, are simple, natural, and 
connected, and bring the tale and its sie 
tuations interestingly to the heart. 
Mozart’s celebrated Overture to Don Fuany 
arranged as a Duest for two Performers, for 
one Piano-forte, by I. Blewitt. 4s. 
This strikingly excellent overture, from 
the nature of its orchestral arrangement,
