DREARFUL OUTRAGE.

I! is a notorious fact that the formidable gangs of thieves
which at present infest the public streets. to the terror of the
passengers, are unprecedented, and that from their force
they have only to 'elect their object. and plunder &News,
even at noon Atty. Hut of all the daring acts of itilifthous
enterprise we have ever heard recorded, that we are about
to relate stands foretaost.-•eteur reputed grieves, of the
names of Jones, Hums, Murray, nod Gudley, were fully
committed fur trial for robbing the house of Mrs. Watkins,
in Mayfair. and another man (V 5 m. Paddock) was hand-
cuffed with them, wad fastened to the chain to be takeit to
Newgate. Paddock's offeuce was simply larceny. They
left Marlborough-street Police Odice about desk, under,the
escort of Marsden' tbegaoler, who took them the usual way
for privacy along Great litusell-street, and in crossing Tot-
lroham a woman of the town got into conver-
sation with them. Ili passing along Great itesirell-street some
whistling was heard, and one of the burglars culled out
Now fur a rescue." Immediately after, between twenty
and thirty ruffians sallied forth from George-street, St.Giles's,
and the opposite side, mid knocked Marsden down by a blow
on the back with a bludgeon, and they cuutiuued beating
him until he was seamless settee on the ground. We scarcely
need state that the prisoners escaped. Marsden was taken
into an apothecary . shop, and his heed. which was dread.
fully cut in four different places, was dressed. He is also
much bruised about the back, and but faint hopes are en.
pertained of his recovery.
About half past ten o clock at night, Paddock, one of lbe
prisoners rescued, and who was a stranger to the four burglars,
gave himself up at the Marlborough Hrad, opposite the
Police Office, to Valentine the calker, who was there, and
he sus conveyed to St. Anne's watch.huase. He was on
Friday examined before Mews. Covent and Farraat, and
his deposition was as follows a--
He was not aware of the rescue until it happened. There
were inure than twenty persons came upon them and 'sod-
denly hurried them on, and on turuing round be saw Mary-
den was not with them. They ran down Museum-street,
into Charles-street, Drury-laue, when the party who rescued
them attempted in vain to get the hams of, They proceeded
to Lincolies.lon-fields, where they again were attempted
to beset at liberty, but it could nut be dune. Here witness
was exhausted with runoiug, and being one of the two fore-
most on the chain be was lifted on by the collar of the coat
and the breech. They proceeded through Glare-market
aad the Temple, over Blackfriars-bridge, other attempts
having been made to get olthe irons. They were led down
the gist street on the left in filacktriars.read, and proceeded
by the hack streets to the Obelisk, and Irma thence into the
Kent-road. it here a supply of files. ehius,rls, itainnscrs, lkc.
was uhlaiued, and the pi isoherts were let loose. liut pre-
viously to this some of the gang asked witness if he knew
either ut the other fur, and on his ausweriue in the negative,
they took the handkerchief from his neck laud placed it over
his eyes, tshil.t they released the whole of them, and the
fellow who untied the handkerchief kept it. On separating
the burglars said, " lout ad know where we are to meet."
W Rona went into the first public-house he came to, and re-
lated the whole fact, and the,. returned and gave himself up.
He was re-committed to Coldhath-fields prison as a witness,
with an order to he leisieutly treated. He *told be able to

too strong to be resisted, and the matter in winch they

would be able to identify oneof them, and he came to the
Office to see if any were apprehended.

to cut his way through two miles of ice of about two feet in

island, which he named after the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, and there took up his winter quarters. In Ibis

SHIP News EZTRAORDINART.—On Monday even.
init. sailed front the temporary landing-place, fronting
Conortgarairts, secludedly situated on the bank of the
Twiner, various vessels, containing, it was stated, some
notations (not illustrious) *lmages; they, however, had
sonic conspicuous marks of attention paid to them, for
they were attended by sevens: persons in office. The
vessels which bore away such proportion of the renowned
Italian cargoes as were not brought to the mart, were
raid to be guarded by the Thames police, &c. Nut
were those oth ial personages the only individuals who
honoured the travellers with notice. Persons in the
several boats, craft, &c. espied the strange sail in the
ofliug; and they failed not to greet it with sounds most
discordant, but full of meaning. The news was thus
spread quickly; and although the parties might be re-
hearsing the performance of " Ire fly by Night," they
were hailed with every species of vocal uisapprobation,
as they proceeded towards London Bridge. How they
I fared then we know not but perhaps Lloyd's List, or
the Citil Litt, may hereafter give us some account of
them. They consisted of such portions as had got been
examined : the witnesses who were examined, at least
such of them as have not been sent away on special
missions. a /a Roadie, are said to he still retaioe I in this
country. It is only said so; but since the depantire of
the unexamined witnesses, the sentinels who used to be
handy locked in at the upper end of the House of Lords,
leading down to Sir Tyrwhitt's house, have been
tissatui This would lead to a belief that nothing *lu-
st* is left behind.

A serious affray took place In Church-street, Brighton,
on Saturday night, between a pause of the inhabitants,
principally bricklayers and bricklayer' labourers, and a
party of the 81st infantry, in which several of the former
received bayonet wounds, butt none of any very danger-
ous kind. An iuqniry took place at the Town-ball. at
which the greater part of the officers of the Slat attended.
The origin of the disturbance, after various examinations
appeared to bare been with a tailor, nasned,O'Brien, wb•
passed two men, apparently bricklayers, with whom was
a female, about eleven o'clock, near Church-street end of
the New Road, that night. Ono of the men accosted
O'Brien, and asked hhu who be was staring at ? when
O'Brien's reply not pleasing him, the two fell upon hint
and beat hint ly. O'Brien, in the end, sought pro-
tection by running to the sentinel at the entrance of the
king's stables, when the soldier beat one of thei assailants
off with a blow from the muscle of his musket and hilt of
the bayonet, which bruised his head and face. O'Brien
then elected his escape; the bricklayers departed also,
but soon atter returned in a strong body. It was nearly
midnight, when tweet the Slit, who had permission to
be out till that time, were returning to the barracks,
when they fell in with the re-inforced party t a quarrel
ensued, and the soldiers were compelled to fly to the
guard-bouss for refuge. The conduct of the rioters be-
Caine so outrageous that the guard was obliged to Mrs
out, when the wounds mentioned were inflicted, ere trait-
quality could be restored. The military were parading
under anus daring the realer part of the night. At the
Town-hall none of the otteuders could be identified; the
matter. therefore, stands over for further investigatioo.
Ilford 1114nder.—Early on T 'Tuesday morning last. it
was discovered that a cottage house near Sutton Bridge,

verdict of a Coroner's Inquest, was committed fur trial
at the next Assize.
