ROWLAND STEPHENSON.

In the correspondence received yesterday morning
from New York, there is an awful account of the
condition of this wretched man. It is stated that
it would move the heart of his most injured victim
to see the change which a few months have made in
his visage and person—that he has become, as if by
magic, an aged man, and with spirits sunk to the
lowest possible state of despondence;—that a con-
stant watch is kept over him, lest he should raise
his own hand against his life.
The British Consul at New York transmitted a
letter to London, which was received in the course
of the day, and which represented the miserable
state of Stephenson more accurately, and with ap-
parently more impartiality, than any which have
reached London amongst the numberless speculative
accounts given in the American papers.
The Consul says, " Two men came to my house
when I was sitting down to dinner, and told me
they had Mr. Stephenson in their custody, and were
desirous of handing him over to me to obtain the re-
ward. They told me they came in four days from
Savannah—that they seized him at a retired coun-
try house, and brought him to me without any
warrant, save that they heard of a reward of
1,0001. for his apprehension. 1 immediately pro-
ceeded to the vessel, which had been anchored in
the bay, and found the wretched man in a cold cabin,
his arms and hands pinioned, as he had attempted
suicide with a pistol which he had concealed.—
Upon stating who I was, and expressing my regret
that my public duty enjoined upon me to interfere,
and expostulating with him that for the sake of
his children he should brave his misfortunes by
affording all the reparation in his power to those
whose interests he had injured, the wretched man
burst into tears, and cried aloud, " Oh my children,
my children ! I cast myself on you—do as you
please—l shall act as you point out—l surrender
myself to you as Consul of his Majesty." Having
sent for an officer, I had him removed to my office,
and sent to Messrs. Goodhue aud Perit, the gentle-
men to whom the assignees had sent their authority,
upon which, as the wretched man was cold and
hungry, and Mr. Goodhue's house was near, we
removed him, where refreshment was kindly and
liberally afforded. No language can describe the
agony of mind Mr. Stephenson suffered, as such
kindness was quite unexpected, and deeply did he
deplore the fatal step of leis leaving England. I
probed him closely as to the cheque drawn on the
Bank of England, and the funds sworn to as taken
from the Bank a few days previous to his abscond-
ing. He stated that the deficiency had existed long,
although not discovered before; and, in a most
solemn manner, he declared that he had but a few
sovereigns, and was dependent upon Lloyd for buy-
ing him three shirts and some warm clothing since
his arrival. Lloyd, he said, was so involved in his
transactions, he determined to accompany him ; but
they were no sooner on board than they found out
their error, but they could not then return." It is
confidently expected that Stephenson will, if his
mind sustains no desperate shock, return to this
country.

mand at former prices, and but little done in Foreign. Beans and
Pease have barely maintained former rates, and not much doing.
