The Murder of Mr. Briggs.

A rumour war very pre alert in the Metropolis this
morning that a telegram had been received from New York
announcing the capture of Muller, but we can positively
contradict the story. No telegram of the nature described
has been received by the police authorities, although they
are daily in expectation of ene coming to hand. Letters
have been received from Inspector Kerresy announcing his
arrival at New York in advance of the Victoria.
