Livermore strived is Liverpool on tredneeday afternoon,
and having amertsined that the Colosht had left the dock,
end had proceeded down the river, outward bound, accom-
panied by William Glasser sad John Toole, two of the
adoptive polio, (OM of Liverpool, and whom an his snivel
he found quite ready to render him every aid, he took a
boat and monocled down the Our. They overtook the

vessel about four miles from the pier head, when she was
lying to, off Black Rock, waiting for the w-xt tide to carry
her out to ass. On burding h- r, almost the firm
the officers saw was Payne, and having secured hies
they next found and apprehended Whkaker. On the
robbery of the wine at Mr. Charles Skiugley's being
mentioned, Payne temarked, " Very well, I am ratio-
tied I am clear of that," placing • particular enviable
on the word "that." Whitaker WOO eery taciturn and de-
jected, bat Payne seemed Witham, depresouL limy were
conveyed on Thursday to where they arrived the
same evening, and the following morning, Friday, they
underwent an examination at the magistrate's offiee, by
whom they were committed for further examination. Some
papers were found on one of the prisoners, which may prove
an important clue to the retreat of another of the gang still
at large. It appears that Whitaker and Payee had taken and
paid fr r thek pour to New York, and with a fair wind
would in a few hour.' time have been fairly en their voyage
to the United Stake. It is • remarkable fact, and shove
the vast facilities afforded by railway communication, that
Mr. Corder was, on Tuesday evening, between six and
seven o'clock at the retired village of Fordham, neer
Halstead, ferreting out the information upon which Payne
arid Whitaker were, at precisely the same hour the neat
evening, apprehended at Liverpool, a distance, we believe,
of nearly 300 milts. Whitaker and Payne aro both sup-
posed to be implicated in the fire and robber, which took
place at Mr. Skingley's • coneidersois time since. Whitaker,
it appetite, made an assignment of his property before he ab-
sconded. On Wednesday last the priaoners French and
Teasley, charged ae principal and acoemary in 'torsi of the
burglaries in the neighbourhood of Coggeshall, were mo-
o:mined at the county gaol. Other prisoner', apprehended
since the previous examination of French, were also brought
up, one of them being implicated ig the burglary in the
house of W. Ham, at Bradwell next Coggesh All, for which
Wade was tried at the last ,seises. All the accused were
committed foe trial.
