ESCAPE OF RODERT ROBERTS rao* LOLDII4TIA FIELDS P.IlaON. --- This mysterious business, which has occupied Ito much public attention and wood,r, h.is at length been developed, an that the Whole plau of eseitpi4 together with the method, of obtaining it, are io longer a seerift. "this discovery has burls made by the voluntary confession of a Prisoner in CoWWll field Prison, of the name of John Taylor, who is undergoing an imprisement of twu years—sod this conflssion, together with other corroborative cir cumstances, levee no doubt on the subject. The deposition of Taylor states, that he was a sweeper iii that part of the prison where Robins WAY MIA tied, and he had the cleaning of Roberts's cell. When ltuberts was last examined at M borough -street •, he said it would be a fortnight before he was examined again ; and after interrogating Taylor, cud rojoininic him by a bribe to secrecy, he asked if there was no way by which he could ge t hi s liberty by an escape ? Taylor in formed him that such depended in a great sava.ore upon what friends he had without the walls of the prison. Roberts said, he had plenty of friend% but they were of no use finless he had one in the the prison that he could depeud upon; for if he did: not escape, he was sure to die. !Oben, suggested, that if he could get the key of the gates, he could snake an impression, old get one made ; cud Tay lor sometimes haring the keys to let out prisouer• occasionally, agreed to furnish him with the key of the gates. The gates through which Roberts (missed are locked also with a padlock. as wdi as the other leek. On the Sunday week previous to the escape of Roberts, Taylor got the key or the gates, who ts• he conveyed to Roberts, who in ale au imprewaoir with it on a piece of soap &boot two inches thick, iu Taylor's presence, by striking it with • bo ,, t-pn•l. Taylor procured a padlock frows art empty cell (all being m ide to ripen with One asp, 1111(1 this pod lock he gave 'to Roberts, who put It into a parcel and gave it to him, to be conveyed by a trnsty fri oil of Taylor's (a servant in the prison) to • friend of Roberts's. Ti,l4 was done, and on the following Friday _Roberts informed Taylor that lie hod got the things in a parcel, and he unbuttoned his waist coat and produced them, wrapped...no several WI. is of paper, and its contents were two keys, a hook seven or eight inches long, and a small tile.— Taylor asked Roberts how he got the things in, as it was a role never to leave the Prisoner alnoe, and he informed blur that • 6 lend had brought it him. This friend was a man now in cu•toJ'. Roberts, accompanied by Taylor, found a conve nient opportunity to try the keys, and they were found to answer every purpose. Hoherts house iliately wrote a letter to a friend (~hone name it would not be proper at present to mention); and whilst Taylor war g•rne to find his trusty friend, the servant of the prisms, he saw the letter in the hand of another person who was with Roberts. (whose name also 41, better at present to omit) and who answered for the regular delivery of it, ■s Roberts afterwards told Taylor. Taylor saw the said letter. and it informed the person who re ceived it. that the keys fitted ; and that he, Ro berts, should try on the escan e on Monday night. This letter went 'safe,. as was proved by the receipt of another on Monday night. which was brought to Roberts by a person whom we have iaefore stated holds a situation of trust in the prison, whilst be was drinking wine with Taylor. It was this fetter which proved fatal to the An. family, wad which planned the hour of escape. Roberts was particular in consulting Taylor, whe ther there was a probability of the seal having been broken ; for if so. lie was a dead man. Toe Reel was closely examined. aaJ Roberts was satisfied. Witness saw the letter.w beg& " Dear Bob," sod continued, that titty men would lose their lives ra ther than Roberts should be hurt. Tae letter also stated, that • rope was ready, and advised him not to leave the keys behind. It concluded, that Imo pie would lie in waiting to receive Roberts, from twelve o'clock till four. After this, Taylor inquired of Smith. who escop 2d with Roberts, if he was willing to be true and grid his liberty; and after hiving received every assur ance to that effect, he informed him that the next toll to him was empty, and the two keys were tied behind a piece of wood in • certain part 91 the cell. Taylor instructed Smith how to get to Ro berts after he had broken into the empty cell, and assured him that Roberts troalil reward him after they had clewed the prison ; but he must take off his shoes in going down the passage. Roberts gave Tuylor • 11. note on Monday night, when he told hire that Smith was to go with hint, and he was to receive 201. more of Roberts's friend (a man now in monody), as he (Taylor) hid refused to take it, for good reasons, until Roberts got clear off. Roberts was provided by Taylor with a pair of list shoes for the escape, which took itl.tce at twelve o'clock. There is another prisoner who corroborates Tay lor in his depositions ; ■nd some palwrs f.stind in the possesioo of Roberts's friend, now in custody. leaves oo doubt whatever of this beisig the real statement relative to the escape. Thus doscorery has been made by a meritorioui servant of the late Governor, whose conduct entitles him to the great est praise for the zeal he has manifested in tracing the thing from its origin. With respect to the watchmen, there are none stationed at that part of the prison when: the psi• soners escaped. One watchman alone it stationed on the outsi,le the prition, whose duty it is to walk round it, to that the friends of Roberts who were watching him prevented a possibility of his detec tion.

When the child was first tiros-tilt to the Pii.oner's house, No: 37, Artillery...tr.-et, Blackfliar's.road, Mn. Rutter inquired whether - she had any money ? and, or being anavtered to the negative, she deta:ed her to go to her father's freed dence, and take away some of his property.
