MARLBOROUGH STELET.
(THIS DAY).

James Sheridan wss placed at the bar before Mr.
Hiiwwicx, charged with having in his possession a
1001 Bank of England note, of which he could not give
a satisfactory account.
Mr. Kneller Smart, of No. 60, Prince's-street, Hay--
market, refiner and bullion dealer, stated that between
five and six o'clock yesterday evening the prisoner
entered his shop, and said that he had found
a 100/. note, which had not been advertised.
and that he wished to get it changed without having any
trouble about it, and would give a handsome discount.
He then produced the note, and witness having got pos-
session of it, asked him some questions as to how he
came by it, when be suddenly rushed out of the shop,
and attempted to make his escape.
Mr. Thomas M'Manus, of No. 96, Great Portland-
street, Marylebone, soda-water manufacturer, stated
that on Wednesday last he folded a sovereign
up in a 100/. Bank of England note, and put it, as he
thought, into his fob-pocket, but after a lapse of two or
three hours discovered that he had lost it. He did nut
know the number,' nor had he any means of ascertaining
it, as it had been for a long time in his possession, and
he had forgotten the source from whence he obtained it.
He, however, remembered that the two first figures of
the number were 6 and 7.

The prisoner said he found the note on 'Wednesday
morning in the stabling of Mr. M'Manus's premises,
but there was not any sovereign in it.
Mr. HARDWICK said there could be no doubt but that
the note belonged to Mr. M'Manus, and ordered it to be
given up to him, and after reprimanding the prisoner
allowed him to go at liberty.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Brighton Gazette of this day.)
PORTSMOUTH.--Rear-Admiral Sir Edward King,
K.C.8., according to letters received here, was at Rio
de Janeiro on the 26th August, preparing to sail for the
Rio de la Plata, in the flag-ship Southampton, 50. Rear-
Admiral Thomas, appointed to succeed Admiral Ross,
C. 8., in the Brazils, was expected to arrive from Eng-
land about the end of September. Owing to the vigilance
of the cruisers, the slave traffic was on the decline.
The Vindictive, 50, was brought under the sheers and
masted, to be commanded by Capt. John Toup Nicholas,
of the Belleisle, 72, which is now ordered to be paid off
in Plymouth Sound, and her men transferred to the
Malabar, 72, and Cambrian, 36.

Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen, K.C.8., is daily
looked for here, to hoist his flag on board the Queen,
110, for the chief command in the Mediterranean. Capt.
George F. Rich has commissioned the Queen for that
purpose.
The Rapid, 10, Lieut. Tryon, has gone to Liverpool
and Bristol, to convey seamen volunteers for the navy
to this port.
The Britannia, 120, Capt. Mansell ; Tyne, 26, Capt.
Townshend; and Carysfort, 26, Capt. Martin, are ordered
home from the Mediterranean.

There is no truth in the rumour of the new ships Col-
lingwood 80, and Vengeance, 84, being ordered for com-
mission. They are to be fitted for ordinary et present.
The new steamer Styx, Capt. Vidal, is ordered to pro-
ceed forthwith from Sheerness to Quebec, with the new
Governor-General of Canada.

The steamer Ardent, Commander Russell, has left
Plymouth for Rio de Janeiro, with despatches for Rear-
Admiral Sir Edward King, K.C.B. . _

Our Port-Admiral Sir-Edward Codrington, G.C.8.,
has transferred his flag from the Queen to the St. Vin-
cent, 120, with the whole of his officers and retinue.
At Spithead.—No vessel of war.
In Harbour.—St. Vincent, Queen, Victory, Excellent,
Royal George yacht, Illustrious, Warspite, Vindictive,
