NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

PORTSMOUTH, FEE. B.—The wind still continues from the
Northward and Eastward, which prevents the arrival of any home-
ward-bound ships. This morning his Majesty's sloop Harrier
arrived at Spithead from the Eastward. On Tuesday evening
Sir Thomas M. Hardy went to town on leave, in consequence of
which his flag has been struck.
His Majesty's ship Barham, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral
the Hon. Charles Elphinstone Fleeming, sailed for the West
Indies either very late last night or early this morning.

The Thetis, 46, Capt. Bingham, was warped from Hamoaze to
Barnpool on Friday, and on the following morning moved into the
Sound, in consequence of orders to expedite her equipment for the
reception of Colonel Cockburn and suite. They embarked yester-
day morning, under a salute of eleven guns, and will sail for Ber-
muda the moment the Barham, with the flag of the Hon. Vice-
Admiral Fleeming, appears off the port. The latter ship is ex-
pected from Portsmouth hourly, on her way to the Jamaica station.
The Bittern tender, Lieul. Rochfort, sailed on Tuesday, with a
detachment of Royal Marines for the relief of those serving in his
Majesty's ship Semiramis, and at Haulbowline Island, in the Cove
of Cork.

In Hamoaze—Britannia, Alligator, Satellite, Rifleman, Skylark,
Kingfisher, Vigilant.
Mr. G. T. Smithson is appointed Purser of the Trinculo, vice

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

QUEEN-SQUARE.

SHEEF-STEALING.— George Williams, the man who stood
remanded, as mentioned exclusively in our paper of Saturday last,
charged with suspicion of stealing twenty sheep, the property of
some person unknown, came tip for final examination.
Mr. William Walker, a farmer at Enfield Wash, Middlesex,
stated, about four o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday, he went
into his field, situated by the road side, and there counted his sheep,
which consisted of sixty head of cattle, the south-down breed, he
shortly after came to town, and on his return again on Saturday
last, he found the number reduced to twenty-seven having lost
thirty-three head of cattle. Witnzas considered at first they had
strayed front the field, but finding no gap, he minutely inspected
the gate, and there observed the tracks of the cattle, and marks
of a man's, foot ; he was then satisfied they had been stolen,
and, next day he read an account in the newspapers of a
man having been stopped with a quantity of sheep ; he
consequently came -to town, and on meeting with the officers,
Pace and Pople, they conducted him to where the cattle was de-
posited for safety, which he instantly identified as part of his pro-
perty. stolen; they were all marked on the near hip in black, the
initials J. C. Witness begged to observe that it was owing en-
tirely to the newspaper report that he obtained his information.

John Wells, of Rochester-row, Westminster, stated that the
prisoner, accompanied by another man, hired his shed at 2s. 6d.
per week for the purpose of holding cattle ; the men having a
respectable appearance, he did not ask their name or address but
understood they resided near Vauxhall.—Committed.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY).
CORN-EXCHANGE.

There are moderate fresh supplies of Grain this week, and a
large arrival of Flour. The Wheat trade remains unaltered from
Monday's quotations. Barley does not sell with so much free-
dom as on Monday last, but the prices were as last quoted.
Beans and Pease for seed are very brisk and scarce, but not other
kinds. The severity of the weather occasions the factors to ask
more money for Oats, but it is only needy buyers that comply
with a small advance.
