Apprehension of Wade.--Yesterday morning, John Wade, who absconded with $5100 belonging to the Suffolk Bank was brought before the Police Court on a charge of larceny, to which he pleaded guilty. The circumstances that led to his apprehension were as follows. On Thursday, a coasting schooner, Capt. John Jewett of Pittston, Me. arrived at this port from Bath, and in passing through the South Boston street bridge, a passenger on board, who passed by the name of King, after shifting his dress, landed. After the vessel had hauled in, he came on board in the evening for his trunk, a new travelling one. In the mean time, Capt Jewitt had seen the advertisement of the Bank, and became suspicious of his passenger. He asked him if he was aware of the robbery and advertisement; to which Wade replied "he had heard of it." Capt. J. then said I suspect you are the man: what will you give if I let you go?" Wade replied "I will give you $50." "Will you not give me $100?" asked the captain. To which Wade replied he would.--"I shall not take money in that way," said the captain, and carried him immediately to the jail, with the trunk. We understand that all the money, excepting about $100, has been recovered; the principal part of which was found in the trunk.

He was ordered to recognise in the sum of $10,000, with two sureties in a like sum, for his appearance at the October term of the Municipal Court; and in default thereof was committed to prison. Wade is a young man about 25 and appeared to be a novice in crime.
