It ap pears that Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, accompanied' by - two officers, succeeded in tracing the delinquents to Ml:ford, where they arrived on "-Monday •lis , , and. unluckily. for the ends of justice, got on board vessel •which at that instant was getting under i.eigh for Savannah. This information was obsamed from the pilot in whose boat they Were conveyed front the smack to the Kingston. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, returned early this morning IQ Louden through this town, Whilst the other two officers sailed for Faloinuth, with the view of dispatching a fast sailing • vessel in pursuit. All the particulars that have hitherto trans • piled respecting their escape will be found in the sub joined.communication from our Milfoidcorrepondent: MILFORD, JAY. O. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, and the two police officers who accompanied him in his pursuit of Rowland Step!terison, arrived here this morning from Clovelly. Trey state that they traced Stephenson and his clerk Lloyd to Clovelly. where they remained three days. They ascertained to a certainty that the fugitive's were Stephenson and his c lei k, from some of the people at Clovelly. wbo had chanced to see their names written on the linings of the,r hats. The names were quit.' legible, althongb an attempt had been made to ob. literate them. by 'drawing a pen over theni. They, ascertained that on the 2d instant Stephenson and his companion took a skiff and arrived at Milford, from whence they went into Angle Bay (a small inlet on the south side of Milford), next day,' Saturday. They remained on board all Sunday. the 4th, it then hloaing a gale of- wind. The next information we have if•thern is from George Risen, one. f the branch pilots of this place. He states that he piloted the brig, King. non, Capt. Wood, bound fir Savannah, down the har-. boor of Milford on Sunday wining (the 4th) as-far as the Quarantine station, off which she came to anchor, and r-mained these during Sunday night. On the Monday morning, whilst the ship's company were at breaklas., the skiff came out of Arigle Ban - and, anchoring near' the Kingston, presently sent a boat on hoard, to ask if 'two Gentlemen could have passage in her, with the* luggage. An answer was returned by the Captain, and,aqoa olter, - the boat returned- to the .Klngst in, and rut two GeLtiemen tin- boar mitt), (the pilot think') four trunks and other,luggage. The .pilot it .tes that Oise olthe Gentlemen appeared to he about .50 years ei ,age, and took a great deal of -snuff. The other, a young man in spectacle., arid very short-sighted. There can be no di übt u'at theo persons were Stephcrson and Lloyd. Ininie.•iately Ai: they had been taken on hoard, the Kingston got under weigh, and pro ceeded cut to sea with a tine N.E. wind, which ha', resounded t, blow up to this time (the 9.h).
