MR. STEPHENSON.

PROM THu BRISTOL. GAVITTItt DAT= JAN. 8.
There is little or no doubt but that this great de-
faulter will shoctly be taken. It his been Most satisfac-
torily proved that he passed through this city early last
week—th4t he hired a pilot boat to take him and his
companion down thi.. Channel—that he was subse-
quently landed at Clnvelly, where he hired another
boat, and that the officers have got an authentic clue to
his present situation; at present we are restrained from
entering into particulars, but may announce that this
morning whiter was received by our Magistrates from
two of the officers who are in pursuit of him, stating
that there is every prospect of accomplishing the ds-
sired object of seizing the delinquent's person.
PROM YRS PLYMOUTH JOURNAL DATID JANUARY 7.
It is said that Mr. Rowland Stephenson, the banker,
,whose flight has created so great a sensation in London,
las been traced to Clovelly, a small fishing town in the
north of Devon. Cope, the City Marshalman, accom-
panied by two of the clerks of the banking house, ar-
rayed here on Monday night in pursuit, and immediately
after the Nightingale schooner, attended by the Comet
steamer. sailed to the Westward for the purpose of
intercepting him at sea.

PLYMOUTH., JANUARY 7.
FROM Till PICYAIOUTR JOURNAL•

At two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the first divi.
sion of the Portuguese Emigrants, consisting of troops
of• the line, in number 700, sailed from this port in four
transports, the Minerva, Susan, Lyra, and Pelphin.
Their.
,destinAtiou is.nominally the Brazils, but it is sup-
pcs:d they will in the first instance direct their atten-
tion to the AlcoreX. This diiision is under the command
of General Count S ildinha and General Pizarro, who
sailed in the Susan ;_the fotmer acting as Commodore.
We understand that in the 'course of a week the re-
mainder will sail from this and other ports; and that
after a few days none of the Emigrants will remain
here. Two of the transports engaged to convey them
away arrived here on Wednesday. General Stubbs
remains in command of the depot. We understand th it
upwards of a thousand copies of the account of the
young Queen of Portugal's reception at Windsor, trans-
lated into Portuguese, have been printed here, and sent
to be distributed in Portugal.
• The Hon. Major General STAPYLTON, Chairman of
the Victualling Board, arrived here on Tuesday night,
on an official visit, and will leave Plymouth, on his
return, on Ft iday next.
The Tekgraph of Saturday is incorrect in stating
is that the =inn plan of building ships with round
.sterns is abolished in the Royal Navy.' . The plat► is
not abolished, nor is it in contemplation to abolish it.
The mistake of our Contemporary must have arisen
from the fact of an order having been made by the
Board, directing a return to the old mode of construct•
ing the quarters of quart slowed ships.
Since Monday last, we have bad remarkably fine
dry weather, with a sharp frost. This change from
long continued wet to frost is most benefical to the
country, and it is' to be earnestly hoped it may not be
merely temporary.
Mr. Foot, of the Preventive Station at Whitesand
Bay, crept up on Saturday last 152 tubs of run spirits
in that Bay. The tubs have been lodged in the Cus-
torn House at this port.
