0 ILLII011}:.X FUNNELS.

Lieut. Gihnorc has taken out a patent for air funnels, and
the top or cowl of these funnels is just what should lie
adopted as the top of any seriesof air tubes, for by trimming
' the cowl of the supply-tube to windward, and that of the
discharge-tube to le. ward, the fresh air blows down the
supply tulle and the escape of impure air is facilitated.
Lieut. Gilmore's funnel is provided with a moveable cowl
and base, with handle for turning to windward and lanyard
for lashing. There are ey. -bolts for stays. and holes fur
screw bolts in the square base. The height under the cowl
varies from six to nine feet. according to height of bulwarks.
The objection to Lieut. Gilmore's arrangement of his funnels
that persons in one part or other of the ship must suffer
from the impure air o: another part being driven towards
them. For instance, in a stramyr going against a head-
wind, or a ship heating to windward—the hatches in either
case being closed—the pure air comes down the fore-air-
funnel, and blows towards the stern, carrying with it all the
exhalations of the persons congnatated forward. It has
been found in practice that the air which escaped from
the eli,charge-tuhe was exceedingly offensive, and it is
plain that many persons in the after-part of the ship must
have been exposed to this offensive air before it was dis-
charged. The case would be the same, except that the
persons forward would suffer, when the ship was going be-
fore the wind. Lieutenant Gilmore's system is doubtless
very useful; it is far better than no ventilation. It is at
present adopted in many government vessels taken up for
the conveyance of troops, convicts, &c.; but it is suscep-
tible of considerable improvement.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

BOW STREET.

EMDRZZT.TMENT or Erosrc Huxuaxn FOUNDS:A. W. I
Dear, aged 32, was charged with embezzling various sums
of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Robins,
auctioneers, of the Piazza, Covent-garden.
Mr. Edwin Robins said the prisoner had been in his em-
ploy for some time, as auction-room and cash clerk. He
was deputed to receive money after property had been sold and
to pay it into witness's bankers every slay. If the money was
not paid at the time property was purchased, it was his
duty to enter it into books kept for the purpose, and to make
up his accounts every evening. On the 10th of January a
sale by auction took place in the rooms, and Mr. Forbes, of
the India-house, purchased 14 lots, which amounted to
301.155. 9d. The money was paid two days afterwards,but the
prisoner never accounted to witness for the possession of the
money. On the 23th of the same month a similar sum was paid
the prisoner, who never accounted for it. On Thursday last
the prisoner made several false entries in the books, and then
suddenly absconded. Witness afterwards ascertained that
the prisoner had embezzled monies to a very serious extent.
The whole of his defalcations amounted to nearly 1,0001.

Mr. W. Wellahm, clerk to Mr. Robins, provi:d 'the pay-
ment of Mr. Forbes' account to the prisoner.
A solicitor to the prisoner said the misguided young man
had lent the money he had embezzled to various persons who
had given him security for the money. He now held those
securities or vouchers.
Sergeant Thompson said when he apprehended the pri-
soner he made a statement in effect that he had lent the
whole of the money he had embezzled, and that he had
securities fur the money. The prisoner also said he had
not touched one farthing of the money,
Atter some conversation the prisoner was remanded.

11/OIIWAY ROBBERY AND NEW TRICK.—As Mr.
Jackson, of Sherwood Foundry, was returning home about
half-past 9 o'clock on Thursday night last, when between
Messrs. Greenhalgh's mill and the Talbot, on the Notting-
ham-road, he saw two men approaching him, who, on near-
ing him, separated, apparently to allow him to pass be-
tween. Suddenly he was thrown from his legs most vio-
lently on the ground by a rope, which it appeared the men
held between them. One of the scoundrels then pinned
him, while the other rifled his pockets of 131.—Notts

GERMANY.

The " Pree-trado " Assembly at Berlin have passed
four resolutions in favour of the free trade principle. ,
1. That this principle is the only foundation for the
sound and fruitful development of material interests.
2. That it should, without delay, be brought into
operation throughout all Germany. 3. That duties
should be imposed merely from financial necessities. '
never for the protection of trade. 4. That the
Austrian project for a 'Loll Union should be rejected.
The protectionists agreed to this last resolution.
In Ile,ise Cassel. Count Leiningcn having inquired
of the War Minister if Hessian troops are to be
relied upon to execute the commands of the Diet,
the War Minister, in order to be enabled to answer
this question, has called upon every officer to declare
in writing within 24 hours whether he is willing to
promise unconditional obedience to his superiors, and
to acknowledge the ordinance of September. The
officers are thus placed in the most cruel position,
especially those who formerly solicited without oh-
taming their dismissal. The time allowed them to
decide is nut sufficient to admit of their consulting
together on the subject.
The ministerial organ of the Munich press has an
article in which it declares, with reference to the
Hesse Cassel question, that to treat men as criminals
because they have refused to break their oath, is a
shocking iniquity, such as was never before wit-
nessed in Germany.
The police authorities of Hendsburg and Altona
have published an address to the people, commend-
ing their orderly and peaceful conduct during the
late agitating events, and exhorting them to perse-
Veit in the sawn), under the threat that their
' liberties will be abridged should any demonstration

of popular feeling take place.
Letters from Hamburg and Kid announce the
return of Count Spanneck, who, it thus appears
has made a second visit to Dresden. The Danish
plan for the settlement of the relations between
Denmark and the Duchies, by an assembly of
notables, is said by a letter from Kid to be defini-
tively determined.

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 15, 1851.

AIR

When there is a fresh breeze, or when a vessel is going
fast through the water, an abundant supply of fresh air
may be most easily obtained, and it may be distributed to
every Tart of the ship by a series of tubespmperly disposed.
Again, if the warm impure air is drawn from the upper part
of decks or cabins into a tube heated by a lamp to resemble !
the chimney of a house, cold air will pass in to supply its
place by any openings in the dark or side of the ship even
in a perfect calm. Thus, by means of properly disposed
tubes, a self-acting plan of ventilation maybe framed which
will secure a supply and proper distribution of pure air,
with removal of the impure, either in storm or calm; and
the openings of the tubes may be so prot.eted from rain or
spray that no water can pass clown them. These tubes arc
all that can he required in ordinary merchant vessels, but
in men-of-war, troop-ships, convict and emigrant vessela, I
and in all eases in which a number of human b:ings or
cattle may be crowded between the decks of a ship, it is
absolutely necessary to poone.s the means of supplying as
much air as the body of breathers require. Dr. Arnott'a
air-pump fulfils this object moot simply, beautifully, and
I effectually, with so little expenditure of power that
the latmiar of one man is sufficient to supply as much
air as a thousand persons require fur breathing. Two boys
can work ono easily fur two hours with so little fatigue that
they are fit for any other duty at the close of this labour,
and in steamers half-horse power from the engine would be I
amply sufficient. Any ship carpenter, or ordinary carpen- I
ter, could make such a pump mit of materials *found in
every ship at the expense of a few shillings.
Every ship should be furnished with from one to four of

such pumps, in proportion to the number of the crew and
pas.engers. They are used in eases of ncee‘sary confine-
ment of the people below; lot, under ordinary eircum-
,tances, it is not necessary to work the pump, as tubes pro-
perly disposed secure perfect ventilation.

THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY.

A letter, dated Alexandria, Oct. 23, says: " Intel-
ligence has been received from Constantinople, to the effect
that the Sublime Porte at Constantinople has removed all
ommition to the construction of the Egyptian Railway.
Abbas Pacha's petition to the Sultan fur have to make the
railway was not couched in terms exactly suitable to the
Sublime Porte, but, on deliberation, it was determined that
no further difficulty should be made. The engineers have
received instructions to begin their work at once, and it is
now hoped that they will be able to proceed without fur-
' ther delay, and no bring this undertaking to a speedy end.
A regular divan or administration has been formed at Cairo
for the railway, having as director Abilallah lley,an English-
man long resident in Egypt, and who has been in great
favour for some time past with Abbas l'aeha. This divan
is to co-operate with the railway engineers, to provide for
their wants in the shape of materials and manual labour,
and assist them in every way in the prosecution of their
work."

H. Martin was finally examined charged with having

The following additional evidence was given :
Algernon West, Esq., said the boy White had been in
his service since Moy last. He bed missed a pistol, a sove-
reign from a box, a watch and watch-guard, and a silver
fork, all of which he afterwards ascertained, from the con-
fession of White, had been stolen at the instigation of
Martin.
William Burgess, an associate of Martin, said he was sent
by Martin to Curzon-street, to see White. When White
came out, he heard Martin say, "Can't you get me a sove-
reign? if you don't, it must all come out. I'll come back
at 4 o'clock, and mind you get me something."
The prisoner was fully committed.

IN another pert of this dayllsmptffillin,lrill
found a translation of a circular, addrtis aby the
Austrian officer in command of the Venetian pro-
vinces to the military commanders under him. It
is calculated to convey a curious notion of the con-
dition of the luckless Italians subjected to the sway
of the double eagle, and of the notions of honourable
conduct which must prevail among the officers of the
Austrian army.
The Omer who exercises civil and military autho-
rity in the Venetian provinces, instructs his subordi-
nates Ss set on foot a system of espionage into the
ossdnet and affairs, and history of all Italian sub-
joins. lie enumerates no less than seventeen cate-
gories of facts respecting which they must at all
times hold themselves ready to give full and explicit
information respecting any individual, high or low,
in their district, about whom government may feel
curiosity. They are to report, " What are his usual
topics of discourse in public places;" "In what
special relations he stands to his parents, his family,
hie friends, and his mistress;" and "If ho took no
part in the revolution, whether he refrained on prin-
ciple and from devotion to his lawful sovereign, or
from fear, prudence, apathy, inaction, or calcu-
lation."

Parker's squadron, when joined by that of Sardinia,
will visit Naples for a few days.
P. S. The Poet-office authorities have received
orders not to deliver any journals printed in Pied-
mont. I understand this new regulation originates
from the fact that a Turin paper is publishing Mr.
Gladstone's pamphlets on the state trials of Naples.

PIEDMONT.
The Piedmontese Gazette states that, on the Ist
inst., the Arro, in Savoy, overflowed its banks and
caused a frightful inundation. All the country
around Bonneville and Thycz was under water; the
potato harvest is entirely spoiled, the corn washed
away, and a large number of small farmers ruined in
consequence. The high road to Chamouny has
suffered much damage from the inundation.

SPAIN.

MADRID, AUGUST 6.
During the prorogation of the Cortex rumours of
ministerial changes are always current. This year
they are unsually continuous. I should not be sur-
prised to see a partial modification. Bertran de Lys
will perhaps abandon his portfolio to Quinto or to
Benarides, and Artela his to Cundido Nocedal.

It is said that the King insists on the nomination
of a governor of the palace, and that that is the
cause of the crisis. Yesterday the ambassadors of
France and Portugal had audiences of the Queen ;
the former ou his arrival, the latter to take leave.

PORTUGAL.

By the Severn, we have news from Lisbon
to the 9th instant. The electoral decree has
been altered to re-elect the illegally elected com-
missioners. The tax qualification for voters has been
reduced. Parish priests are eligible as deputies.
The election is to take place on the 16th November.
The Cortes will meet on the 15th December.

The troops in the capital are insubordinate. Sal-
danha has been restored to his post on the King's
staff, from which he was dismissed by Thomar. La-
vradio is gazetted ambassador to London; Ferraro is
Finance Minister, and had issued a decree for ad-
mitting treasury vales and tho acceptances of im-
porters in payment of certain duties. The steam
navigation of the Tagus is put up to competition.

GREECE.

ATIIENs, Jecy 28.
I announced to you lately that the fall of General
Grivas was likely to be followed by important poli-
tical consequences. In fact, the Greek cabinet, long
undermined by many causes, among which not the
least was the incapacity of M. Christides, Minister
of Finance, has completely collapsed, as soon as the
weight of the grand chamberlain, which kept the
rude arch together, was withdrawn from the court.
'The ministers have already given in their resignation
rn masse, and a special steamer has been sent to Con-
stantinople with desputches recalling M. Metaxa,
the minister at that court, who is charged with the
mission of forming a fresh cabinet. The recall of
M. Zwraphos from the court of St. Petersburg,
which 1 anuounced some time ago, seemed to prog-
nosticate a new phase in Greek policy; and, in fact,
the Greek envoy to Russia is to occupy a prominent
post in the new ministry. This change is in all
respects most important. MC cabinet which comes in
is to be entirely devoted to Russia. The mask,
which to a certain extent, made believe that
Greece was not a province of Russia. has disappeared,
and a policy avowedly Russian will be henceforth
exhibited without reserve. The accident to which
this change is imputed is trivial enough. M. Forth-
ltouen, the French envoy, it scents, has been at-
tempting to impress upon the mind of the King the
erroneous tendency of the policy of Louis Philippe,
who supported the corruptive system of Culletti, and
the different aims of the French republic. The King
consented to a change, but the change was anything
1 but that which M. Forth-Rouen would have coun-
-1 fella It is needless to add that the King was on
this occasion, as on all others, but the tool of the
Queen, who is herself the tool of ltusvia. I may add
that M. Mavrocordato is to be recalled from Paris.
This minister had already demanded his recall, but
his limited fortune not sufficing for his expenses as a
representatise he is to be pret'erred to a diplomatic
post considered among the most lucrative.

but it is realised only in a few instances. The trade is
exceedingly dull for Sheep, the number being large, and
weather unfavourable for slaughtering; we have more in-
quiry for Lambs, at rather higher rates. Calves are
still very plentiful, they meet with a brisk sale. Prices are,
however, low. From Germany and Holland there are 324

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MINCING LANE.-TIIIS D.Y.

St.o.su..—The public sales today are going off heavily,
and, although we do not alter our general quotations, yet
prices have been barely supported. The refined market re-
mains steady. Grocery lumps, fair to fine, 465. 6d. to 495.
COFFEE.—This article has had great confidence, and ra-
ther a large amount of busing. has been done in plantation
Ceylon, with 2.51) cask. of Jamaica, partly for exportation,
and the sales to-day went off at the full prices of last Fri-
day. Good ordinary native Ceylon quoted firm, at 415.,
but not much done in that description.

THA.—This article sold irregularly, Congou from 101 to
11} at full prices, while finer descriptions sold compara-
tively at low rates.
SALTretax.—The importers are very firm, and withdrew
the parcels offered in public sale at high prices. Ily private
contract sales have been made at full price.

done ; prices nominally the Cage as last week.

lencia Raisins have bccn firm at previous prices.

TALLOW MARKET.-THIS DAY.

St. l'etersburg (being 11,000 casks less intn last year), has
assumed a firmer appearance, and there is less disposition
to sell. Prices are thus quoted:—'fawn 'fallo•w, 37, ;

THE MINISTERIAL Catsis.—NIANCHEsTER, FEB.
22.—The intelligence that ministers had resigned took
people somewhat by surprise, though the general disap-
pointment at the budget (which has given satisfaction to
no one) and the tone of the morning papers had somewhat
' foreshadowed the event. The news caused a good deal of
gossip on the Exchange, but there was considerable incre-
dulity as to Lord John Russell finally giving up the reins
of government. Some thought that the ministerial vehicle
had been merely upset for a purpose—to spill an incapable
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and to get rid of the anti-
progress party. Some openly rejoiced at the crisis, observ-
ing that the ministry had fairly (tied of incapacity. In the
speculations as to a new minister Lord Stanley was men-
tioned only in connexion with a whig coalition, even by the
tones; Sir James Graham and Lord Clarendon were
spoken of with much more favour; but of Disraeli and
protection, it seemed as if, by general consent—
