A RACE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.—The United States
mail steam-ship Atlantic left New York for Liverpool
on the let inst. Among the passengers was a man
named Winter (with his wife), a clerk of a mercantile
firm in that city, having in his possession $2,000 belong-
ing to his employers, and which he had obtained by
breaking open the safe. On his absence being ascer-
tained, together with the amount of money with which
he had absconded, the principal of the firm obtained a
warrant for his apprehension, and took a passage b. y
the British and North American mail steam-ship Persia,
which sailed three days afterwards. The chances were
in favour of the criminal clerk ; for, though the Persia
is the fastest steamer afloat, it could scarcely be ex-
pected that she would overtake a full-powered steamer,
which sailed three days before her. No sign of the
pursued steamer was seen until off the port, when
the Persia came up with and passed her, arriving
in the river two hours before her. On Mr. Hood,
the gentleman who boards the Cunard steamers to take
charge of the mails, going aboard, he was introduced to
the pursuing merchant, who asked, with some anxiety, if
any one
in had landed from the Atlantic. On being an-
sweredthe negative, he stated the case, and asked for
a detective. Subsequently, accompanied by a police-
officer he boarded the Atlantic, and confronted the
astounded Winter, whose dreams of security were thus
rudely dissipated. Nearly the whole of the missing
money was found upon him. He was brought ashore,
and now awaits the decision of Mr. Nathanial Haw-
thorne, United States Consul, at Liverpool, who will,
in all likelihood, order him to be sent back, in custody,
by the Atlantic, the steamer which brought him, and
which sails for New York on Wednesday next, so that
he will, no doubt, have robbed his employers of $2,000,
sailed to England from New York, a distance of about
3,000 miles, been captured on board a vessel in the
Mersey by his employer, when he had left behind at New
York, and committed for trial, all within the short space
of one month,
