this defaulter and hi: der k, have so far eluded the poi..
suit of the officers of Justice as to succeed in leaving the
kingdoM. in a vessel bound to tlje Sivann rh. It ap-
pears that Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, accompanied'
by- two officers, succeeded in tracing the delinquents
to Ml:ford, where they arrived on "-Monday •lis,,
and. unluckily. for the ends of justice, got on board
vessel •which at that instant was getting under
i.eigh for Savannah. This information was obsamed
from the pilot in whose boat they Were conveyed front
the smack to the Kingston. Mr. Cope, the City Marshal,
returned early this morning IQ Louden through this
town, Whilst the other two officers sailed for Faloinuth,
with the view of dispatching a fast sailing• vessel in
pursuit. All the particulars that have hitherto trans-
• piled respecting their escape will be found in the sub-
joined.communication from our Milfoidcorrepondent:

MILFORD, JAY. O.

Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, and the two police
officers who accompanied him in his pursuit of Rowland
Step!terison, arrived here this morning from Clovelly.
Trey state that they traced Stephenson and his clerk
Lloyd to Clovelly. where they remained three days.
They ascertained to a certainty that the fugitive's were
Stephenson and his c lei k, from some of the people at
Clovelly. wbo had chanced to see their names written
on the linings of the,r hats. The names were quit.'
legible, althongb an attempt had been made to ob.
literate them. by 'drawing a pen over theni. They,
ascertained that on the 2d instant Stephenson and
his companion took a skiff and arrived at Milford,
from whence they went into Angle Bay (a small
inlet on the south side of Milford), next day,' Saturday.
They remained on board all Sunday. the 4th, it then
hloaing a gale of- wind. The next information we have
if•thern is from George Risen, one. f the branch pilots
of this place. He states that he piloted the brig, King.
non, Capt. Wood, bound fir Savannah, down the har-.
boor of Milford on Sunday wining (the 4th) as-far as
the Quarantine station, off which she came to anchor, and
r-mained these during Sunday night. On the Monday
morning, whilst the ship's company were at breaklas., the
skiff came out of Arigle Ban-and, anchoring near' the
Kingston, presently sent a boat on hoard, to ask if
'two Gentlemen could have passage in her, with the*
luggage. An answer was returned by the Captain,
and,aqoa olter,-the boat returned- to the
.Klngst in, and
rut two GeLtiemen tin- boar mitt), (the pilot think')
four trunks and other,luggage. The .pilot it .tes that
Oise olthe Gentlemen appeared to he about .50 years ei
,age, and took a great deal of -snuff. The other, a
young man in spectacle., arid very short-sighted. There
can be no di übt u'at theo persons were Stephcrson
and Lloyd. Ininie.•iately Ai: they had been taken
on hoard, the Kingston got under weigh, and pro-
ceeded cut to sea with a tine N.E. wind, which ha',
